Fall 2024 - Please do not take this class if you want to remain mentally sane. The class consists of 3 quizzes and 2 workbook assignments. The 1st quiz is by far the most difficult and is worth the most points. The study guide does not help at all on the first quiz. After taking this quiz your grade will drop drastically. As for the 2nd and 3rd quizzes they get easier but are worth way less which doesn’t do much for your grade at that point. The workbooks are graded harshly and further drop your grade. The only thing that helps you out is the extra credit. She has some decent reviews but I promise you those are the 1% of the individuals who took her class. She’s extremely difficult.

Fall 2023 - Dr. Plaćek was absolutely AMAZING! She is caring and empathetic! I had a really difficult time due to my personal life halfway through the quarter and she was really understanding and cared! Her lectures were incredibly engaging! Tests were a bit difficult, but I realized I needed to fully pay attention to the readings in order to soak up the material. However, she gave a generous curve and allows two extra credit opportunities! The workbooks are a bit tricky, so be sure to ask questions for clarification purposes. Another positive note is if you have to miss class, she records and posts the lecture and you can always join in through zoom! I would love to take more courses with her in the future!
