class comments :Class was fairly easy. Just what you'd expect from a 200 level course. The tests were mostly from notes and the notes were written out on the overhead. Good attendance helps a lot in class if it's part of the grade and for getting notes. Optional field trip for monkey lovers.
instructor :Driscoll

instructor comments :Not a stand up comedienne but she was helpful, had study sessions and was very willing to accommodate student schedules.

class comments :If you miss Driscoll's classes, you get screwed. She doesn't take attendance, but her tests are very close to being striaght off of her notes given in class. Make an effort to get to know some people.. it helps to cover your ass if you miss a day or two.
instructor :Driscoll
instructor rating :2 - Average
instructor comments :Driscoll is alright, but she didn't really seem to give two shits about me as a student. I screwed up on a test when i was really tired, and she basically said i should get more sleep. Post-partum-rape-magnet's-points syndrome!!!!!!!!!!!

class comments :said there was an attendance policy but there wasn't. couple of videos with worksheets to complete. 7 or so random worksheets that you have to print and bring to class to complete. only 3 exams (last exam was the final, which was weighted the same amount as the other exams). don't really need the book for simon. lectures are not posted online, and you basically need to write down every single word on the ppt to get a good grade on the exams. you have to go see her outside of class to see y

instructor comments :stared at the back wall of the classroom during the entire lecture, every session. couldn't answer any questions you had if the answer wasn't on her powerpoint (her answer everytime was "look it up and let me know"). lectures were pretty boring.
