Prof Rock-singer was very engaging and had lots to say about religion. Attendance is recorded and you need to be willing to discuss because the class is very discussion based. You probably won't get an A if you just sit in the back and don't talk at all.

Professor Rock-Singer was AMAZING. She is definitely challenging, but in a good way that the more you put into the class, the more you get out. She expects you to show up each week having read carefully but if you do so, you get SO MUCH out of the class. Not a class for students who are looking for an easy A or to coast.

Prof. Rock-Singer was so kind and also really challenged me to think I learned so much in her class and appreciate that she challenged me to engage intellectually.

She's extremely helpful and really cares about how her students are doing. She is difficult, but if you do the readings and put in some effort it'll be very rewarding.

Rock-Singer is a really nice and caring person for sure but her teaching and grading weren't good. Need a 94% to get an A but she expects perfection so it's pretty much impossible to get an A. Probably even if you spent your whole life doing an assignment to perfection it still wouldn't be up to her standards. Still, shes nice and the HW isn't bad.
