Shouldn’t be a professor. Unclear and lack of direction. Very rude and condescending. Worst of all, she emails/post one set of directions, and then will turn around and tell a student a completely different contradictory set of directions. (Without communicating your the class which way is correct). She marks you down for not doing assignments right, but she doesn’t state the right way to do an assignment. It’s like she has invisible hoops you have to jump through. Bio lab is almost half of my grade for bio and I need to pass it with flying colors to get into the nursing program. It’s gonna be a rough semester.

Doesn't like to answer our questions when we ask. Confuses the whole class.

Professor has very unclear instructions on how to do things and she doesn't get back to students in a timely manner by email. Her lack of clear communication is causing students to be very confused and it is causing many grades to suffer. My class personally had to create our own group chat just to figure out how to do assignments and figure out when things were due because she wasn't clearly communicating with us.

We have a group chat currently in her class just the students as we are totally confused on when assignments are due what we’re supposed to be doing in the emails she sends us are confusing. Myself I have personally written a email to the president hopefully for it to be received soon.

Pros: She's a lot of fun if you get to know her.
Cons: Quizzes are hard but most are online
