Her test was probably the easiest of the class though, even though her lectures were the most confusing. She is obviously very smart, so I suspect she doesn't realize that what she says is confusing.

Exam for this section was easy but could easily have not been. Review session was really helpful for exam. Despite easy exam, lectures were super frustrating and confusing. ",

The lectures are extremely content heavy and the slides are overwhelming. It was difficult to focus in person, and I had to take breaks even while watching the recording. ",
