LEGALST/SOC 131
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
She is "nice" but in a fake way. She could not organize discussions well, got mad when we didn't talk without any guidance, mislead us on how we were supposed to write our exam and got mad when we didn't do well. She gets offended easily and plays the victim.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Very Condescending. If you have any questions she is not able to answer them and ridicules you. Does not lead discussion well, goes in circles while trying to answer any question.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
She is easily one of the worst TA's for this course. Ralph is main professor but this TA is horrible. She doesn't stay on track during discussions, makes nothing clear, and is just lazy. She finds loopholes around excuses and does anything but actually try in the course. I encourage you to take this course, but if you see her as your TA, drop it.
