The class itself isn't stressful, mostly reading, and the exams aren't bad at all. I wish there was less time spent reading and more time learning deeper concepts though, most of this class is pretty surface-level. I would still recommend this class though", "source_url": "https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1289210", "quality_rating": 3, "difficulty_rating": 1 }, { "observed_at": "2026-09-07 16:40:10.317399+00:00", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_review_id": "UmF0aW5nLTMzMTc1NzE1", "source_instructor_id": "rmp:1289210", "instructor_name": "Ethelene Whitmire", "course_label": "AA265", "course_id": null, "course_uid": null, "review_date": "2020-05-01 14:48:10 +0000 UTC", "comment": "Prof Whitmire is very intelligent and extremely kind. She opens up lots of readings and opportunity for her students to engage and speak in class, which are mainly discussions rather than lectures. Super clear grading criteria and doesn't expect perfection, but there is quite a bit of reading although the books are interesting easy reads.", "source_url": "https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1289210", "quality_rating": 5, "difficulty_rating": 2 } ] ``` ### total 15 ### page 1 ### courses | course\_uid | course\_id | | -------------------------------- | ---------- | | course\_195b34643875b4af72811020 | LIS 202 | | course\_30f2450321ac44372a3693a7 | LIS 665 | | course\_a9cb22785a9eaa5b23943342 | LIS 772 | ### matched true ## social Image false
