Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
She's a good prof and very helpful and willing to spend time with you in office hours. But you are never sure what to expect on quizzes.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Fun teacher. She's very intelligent and confident. Quizzes are 50/50 if you're gonna do well or not, even if you study. Lecture is very important/useful, she's great at answering most questions, and she's very helpful. I learned a lot from her and would recommend her to anyone. She's not easy or hard, I'd say a good middle.
