Prof. Vandell is a nice but her teaching style rough. She just learned how to use powerpoint this quarter and she doesn't upload her slides. In addition, you must turn in all assignments personally; you cannot email her your assignments. Also, if you are late by even 5 minutes she will mark your assignment down 20%. Tests are based only on lecture.

Professor Vandell truly cares about her students learning experiences. Every concept is clearly explained and she also provides several examples to make sure you understand. Tests are based on lectures only, so review your lecture notes! There is a group project, but it can be worked individually since it is a blog post. Highly recommend her!
