CURRIC/LIS 620
Quality 1/5Difficulty 1/5
Allison's class is just busywork and she didn't add anything to the practicum. She took weeks to respond to any communication (if she responded at all), didn't give feedback on most assignments until the final week of the semester, and the syllabus and Canvas pages are messy, contradictory, and written in a confusing stream-of-consciousness style.
