Awesome professor, really knows her stuff. Also, she is super friendly and easy to talk to. Take time and talk to her after class if you have time. I would highly recommend her and this class.

Cynthia is super awesome and her classes are very easy. You lead two discussions and write one 8-10 page paper graded on completion. Probably my favorite UW professor of all time

Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
CNS SCI 357- retail theory- is a really easy class to earn an A in if you do the textbook reading. You only meet once a week and she writes notes on the board each class that she copies exactly into her exams. She wants her students to do well and she cares about what she teaches!
