While Comms 100 is not a super hard class, Dr.Gershon is not worth taking. She takes a while to grade assignments, usually taking a few weeks. She is also unresponsive to emails and has a strange grading system that makes it nearly impossible to get an A in the class or anything below a B-. Worst of all, she gives poor vague feedback.
