Not a good lecturer. Our classtime consisted of her handing out a handout (which ended up online) and then reading said handout to us. She showed approximately two movies, neither of which was on the midterm, and most of our grade is coming from two "projects" that she thinks are fun but really could be considered a nuisance. One said project was to sit for an hour, 3 different weeks and observe; i'll admit, actually pretty cool to people watch. But then we had to write a 10 page paper about something we'd observe. I never have too much trouble writing papers, and I couldn't figure out anything to write. We also had a lot of reading, which you sometimes you never ended up having to read because she puts the whole plot down in her handout. Basically if you want a class where you don't have to go to class and you only have 2 test and 2 papers, this class is for you.
