Cannot speak more highly about GWS 103. Such important information was conveyed perfectly during lectures in a way that was easy to understand. The professor was very engaging and made me feel like they actually cared about my success.

Professor Frerichs is the best person on the planet and really cares about their students. They made the pandemic so much less stressful for me, which is saying a lot when other teaches made it hell. Thank you Emme<3

Emi is very accommodating to her students and shows that she really cares. She genuinely wants you to get a lot out of the class. She does assign a lot of work but you do not have to read all of it to do well on quizzes, tests, and discussion boards. Everything is open-note and she gives plenty of chances for extra credit. I would recommend her.
