Reads fr. slides but gives e.g. & ans. Qs. Talks softly. Posted slides are incomplete; complete ones are in class (may take pics of them). Tests are 30 mins. (no time to review, so what you write at first is your final ans.). Exams are the whole class period. Tests & exams are heavily based on her e.g. from class & a "cheat sheet" is allowed.

Try your best to avoid this lady. All you need is to learn on your own. Nothing was given to prepare the tests, except the whole textbook.

Just took her midterm right now for this class and can confirm everyone's comments below. I haven't had this type of horror ever in my 15 years of going to school. You literally have to end up guessing your answers due to time constraints.

Lorraine is very approachable and willing to help if you put in the work. My study rec is to read the textbook and use the lecture material to supplement it--it all ties together. A good grade with her is definitely achievable (my final mark in the course was a 90: my lowest for 1st semester, but still good) and she gives great in-class examples.

Get ready to guess your answers in the final and midterm to make sure you answer all questions because you won't have time to read them. Everything on the tests are all from the textbook, but her questions have loads of grammar mistakes and are too long. You can't backtrack as well. Lectures are pointless. She's nice, but a terrible professor.
