ESL 118
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
I mean, taking her ESL118 is not a horrible option. I know there are some "better" or "easier" options for ESL 118. She is nice, caring, and encouraging. I would say she is also a fair grader; just show your efforts, do work, and FOLLOW HER ADVICES ON YOUR ASSIGNMENTS, then you will receive an A.
