Fall 2020 - i really enjoyed dr chavira's class. some of the questions on her exams were a bit tricky but she also offered extra credit which made up for it. i highly recommend getting the textbook and reading the sections that she touches upon in lecture, also make sure to go to discussion and participate for easy points.

Summer 2020 - This class was so so so easy but I felt that I learned quite a bit. Professor Cox was INCREDIBLY receptive to student feedback throughout the term- she administered polls every week asking the students what she could improve upon. For example the first week's quiz was incredibly stressful because there wasn't enough time, but when students informed her of this she reduced the number of questions on every quiz thereafter. There were no exams- they were replaced by weekly quizzes that were not too tricky. The textbook was helpful but definitely was not necessary, as the professor covered everything we needed to know in the prerecorded lectures. Participation points were easy to get because you only needed to show up to weekly Zoom sessions. The group case studies were kind of annoying but doable nonetheless. She was also extremely generous in giving out extra credit. Overall, this class and professor were great because I feel like I learned quite a bit, and it did not contribute to personal stress during these particularly stressful times.

Spring 2017 - She is one of the most unhelpful and condescending professors I've ever encountered. No matter what class she teaches or anything she's in charge of, do not take it with her. She doesn't guide you properly into understanding the material and when you do ask questions for clarifications, she makes you feel stupid and incompetent. She has no genuine concern for students at all which makes me wonder why she's a professor in the first place if she doesn't value helping students. She is super disorganized and is never focussed on one task at a time but go on tangents to different things. Despite being like this, she will openly and harshly criticize you for not knowing your stuff, when she ironically fails to even teach it to us. I have had my bad share of professors but at least some of them cared enough despite being bad professors. But, this one does not even deserve to be an educator, let along a professor or doctor.
