Poor
Professor Hines is alright, not great. She is a tough grader, not great at explaining labs, passive aggressive, quizzes every week, and easily irritated. She's not the best teacher.

Awful
I made a B in Professor Hines' class. However, I failed in laboratories. She's very rude. She doesn't explain the lesson well. She literally just reads from PowerPoint and expects you to know how to do the laboratory. Overall, I would never take her class again and hope you do as well. Just save yourself the time and find someone else.
