I liked her since she was understanding as long as you communicated with her on outside conflicts.  I didn't have an issue with her grading, but it is definitely helpful to take good lecture notes to refer back on once you are writing the essays.  ",

She facilitated good class discussions and was very open to questions and comments. Readings were a bit long, but the other homework wasn't bad at all. You could tell she cared about the material and her students' success.",

Lots of homework, but she assigns it haphazardly so I don't always know what to do. The readings are a bit childish and she doesn't spend enough time on grammar for how hard she grades it.",
