She is a nice teacher who incorporates plenty of activities and outdoor events into the class. Overall, the class is pretty easy, but the grading and curriculum can be confusing. Keep your grade percentage high just to be safe if you want to maintain an A.Rate My Professors ↗

She tries really hard to get participation in large lectures. Accessible through Piazza, but a lot of her responses are AI-generated, alongside a lot of material/assignments. 5/10 difficulty exams, test very niche knowledge. Slides are not very useful, so understand big picture/repeated concepts. Easy class, but attendance is a must for an A.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 3/5Difficulty 2/5
Class is easy, nothing really to note besides attendance is for sure mandatory. What's sad is that a lot of this class is clearly AI-generated. Asking a question on piazza yields an 80-90% ai generated response that we ourselves could do. Paying a lot of money to attend this school and classes, we should expect a human response from our professors.Rate My Professors ↗
