If you are a visual learner, this class is NOT FOR YOU
The first day in the class, I thought she was "one of those teachers". I thought, I'll try one more class, but I think I'm going to drop this class. Turns out that's not the case at all. I think she does that on purpose the first day to scare anyone off who's not serious about sports. But after the first day, you realize she is a kind, funny, and enjoyable teacher. The problem I have is that half (or, Most) of the class, she doesn't spend taking about sports - she spends it talking about her family. There are even questions on her tests which are about how many kids she has and what their names are. They are supposed to be "easy points" but it is a waste of otherwise possible learning about sports. As a result, I didn't learn a lot about sports in the class. I did learn about her life, but I don't care about her life, I came to learn about sports. Her class gave me no challenges, sometimes I found myself drifting off when she talked about her life instead of sports. I didn't take the class to learn about her life. I hardly learned anything about sports and was disappointed.
Bottom line: If you want to goof off the whole class and not learn about sports, just make sure you come to class. But don't get sick! She will not be understanding if you miss class due to being sick, because she grades on whether or not you were there, rather than if you actually learned anything (because there is not much to learn, except about her life and her family). Also make sure you listen to her life story or you won't get an A on the tests. Also, if you are a visual learner, this class is NOT FOR YOU; there are no textbooks or anything to study what's on the test. Probably because no one writes a textbook about her life and her kids, which is most of the class.

Everyone should take this class... Prof. Brown is hilarious and the class is a joke. The notes from bookholders.com are more than enough to help you in the class. She always has funny/strange stories to tell and enjoys talking about weekly sport outcomes (she's a browns fan though...)

Boring class. She always talks about her daughters and "stinkin thinkin". Material on the exams are usually not covered in the lectures. She asks for you to randomly hand in a piece of paper with your name on it for attendance. She also lectures without power points which makes note taking a little harder.

A great teacher, very entertaining and the material is really common knowledge with a punch.
