The only thing I was disappointed about was that I did the lengthly readings before every class and like half the class never read and still got the same grade as me:(",

Don't sign up for her class just to skip it, the lectures are worth it! Her lectures are probably the only lectures that have held my attention at UW, and at the time of this post, I'm a junior!",
