Fall 2023 - One of the most disorganized and rudest professors I've ever had. For some context I had enrolled this past quarter with a surgery date set months prior. On the first day of class while reading the syllabus I noticed the first exam happened to fall on the date of my surgery. So I took the initiative, went up to her on the first day, and let her know in advance I would need to take the exam earlier or do a makeup. Shouldn't be an issue, right? Fast forward a month later before the first exam/my surgery date, I email her a week before (no response) then remind her again a day before that I need to take the exam still. She then proceeded to tell me the exam wasn't ready yet...a day before (??). Ok...so I opt to do a makeup exam after my surgery once I've fully recovered since it's still early in the quarter. I follow up with her via email, nearly dying in bed as my throat has quite literally just been cauterized (tonsillectomy; do not recommend), where she says the only date she can do is a week after my surgery to do the makeup exam. At this point I am nowhere even close to being fully recovered and after long debate (with extensive doctors notes and records) I tell her that this date just simply won't work. She doesn't respond. For weeks. So imagine my perspective where I'm sitting at home in extreme pain, not able to speak or swallow, and now stressed that I'm not gonna pass the class. Fast forward another month, she says I can take the makeup exam WHILE doing exam 2. This was already cruel to begin with, but I obliged since I had already studied for that exam when I was supposed to take it. Anyways, come the date of second exam and an email reminder, she "forgets" to print the makeup exam and tells me to take it the day of the final...a month later. Insane right? So, FINALLY, COME DATE OF THE FINAL I TAKE BOTH THE FINAL AND EXAM #1 that I was supposed to take 10 weeks prior. So, I pretty much spent the entire quarter stressed out thinking I was going to fail since I did had a 0 for the first exam the entire duration. That being said, the coursework itself is pretty easy. If you want to be babied or talked to contradictingly like a kindergartener then this class is for you.
