However, after the drop date passed she changed her style completely, the grader changed and became more tough almost need to be 1000% correct to get a grade. The lectures got dull and long and the assignments were impossible. RUN!!!!!!!",

The grading is more than fair for exams and will help you. Most of all she genuinely seems to care about teaching and student learning. Highly recommend her as a prof.",
