Her class was interesting and I enjoyed the material. She lacked organization and her grading wasn't fair. She was incredibly picky about small details. I personally think I deserved a higher grade.

A lot of work is assigned but I never opened my textbook and still ended with over 100% in the course. Assignments don't take long, she just wants to see an effort. I truly enjoyed the course.
