Awful
Spear is the most unorganized professor I have ever taken at CSUN. She makes us come to class on the LAST day of School. She is a real nit picking grader. She will make you redo assignments for a possible chance to get a "higher" grade. Not only does she not teach! But she doesn't seem to know the material either. For some reason, she does not allow students to use their laptops in class
Poor
I took Professor Spear for HSCI 455 which is basically teaching how to be good presenters and speakers, which is ironic she teaches it because she is beyond boring. She is a terrible presenter herself, yet is very hypocritical about how other people present. She is never clear on what she wants. Also, she is very unorganized.

In this study
I used treatment admissions data to map referral networks between substance abuse treatment providers. I tested the role of network structure on readmissions to detox care.
