Extremely stubborn and inconsiderate, and will actively mock your work in-class (albeit with your name removed) if she feels it is not up to her standards. On the rare occasions when that is not the case, the feedback that is given tends to be extremely unhelpful and will often result in a lower grade when trying to implement it. She will also commonly let meetings run for 20 minutes over the expected time, and will often schedule multiple groups for the same time slots as well. That is on the rare occasions when she is also actually trying to be helpful - usually she will just go nearly radio silent. I'd say don't take her class, but since it's the capstone... best of luck.

Extremely strict and stubborn in her ways. Gives out a few extra credit assignments which can actually deduct points from your existing grade if she decides they are not completed to her satisfaction...

You see that ~90% A rate for 466? That won't happen ever again with this new professor. Very strict grader so pray you get an equally strict group who will go above and beyond on the reports. Good luck, you'll need it.

I had to take this class for Carillon Communities and I would honestly not recommend it. Because this was an LLC class, it is all freshman, but she taught the class like an upper level class with really little guidance and high expectations. There was only one lecture from her the entire year, the rest of the class was group work where we just read the directions and on canvas, and the other part was a guest speaker every week. I really enjoyed the guest speakers because I was actually learning about something. For the first two months, the class average was about a 50%, and she ended up turning the grades off because students kept complaining about their low grades. The grading is also really unclear and there was little to no direction on how to improve out writing and projects the next time around. Go to office hours and literally always go above and beyond on projects and she will at least see you are trying. The professor seems really passionate about the social parts of engineering, and she is very accomplished, I just don't think she is used to teaching a lower level LLC class.
