Class is lecture heavy, but Aosai always asked for ways to improve/make class more interesting and implemented those. Truly one of the kindest professors I have had.

She cared about the students success and spent the semester preparing us for the final paper. Her exams are straight off the study guide she provides.

Attendance & note-taking is a MUST to get an A. She expects a lot from her students, but is a very intelligent and friendly professor who will take the time to help you with any questions.

That's a big disadvantage in a difficult course like this. However, she is very nice and approachable. She's a very intelligent person and made this not-so-exciting class more interesting.

Since I took the course online, it was structured to have a mix of weekly reading assignments, quizzes, and a discussion post. You learn a lot about research and get to work in a group to find papers for exploring a topic you choose with your group. I thought it was straightforward.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2673723","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0}]
