Awful
Professor McNamara had a lot of strict rules that you had to follow throughout the semester. Her grading system was horrible. You had to do a ton of extra credit-type tasks if you wanted to get an A in class along with the other assignments. She's the worst professor I've ever met. If you can find any other professors, just do it.

Awful
Professor McNamara is hard to understand during a lecture. She goes very fast. Attendance is very strict, with many unnecessary rules such as sitting in the front, no empty seats, etc.

Awful
Professor McNamara likes to torture her students and enforce unnecessary rules. If possible, never take this if you love yourself and your time. She expects too much from students. Overall, she's the worst teacher I've ever had.

Exploring the use of memory colors for image enhancement
proceeding of SPIE
Memory colors refer to those colors recalled in association with familiar objects. While some previous work introduces this concept to assist digital image enhancement, their basis, i.e., on-screen memory colors, are not appropriately investigated. In addition, the resulting adjustment methods developed are not evaluated from a perceptual view of point. In this paper, we first perform a context free perceptual experiment to establish the overall distributions of screen memory colors for three pervasive objects. Then, we use a context-based experiment to locate the most representative memory colors; at the same time, we investigate the interactions of memory colors between different objects. Finally, we show a simple yet effective application using representative memory colors to enhance digital images. A user study is performed to evaluate the performance of our technique.
