Lots of reading, some of it is dry. The tests are worth a lot and the questions are way too specific. However, Grazia was the sweetest and taught interesting concepts.",

Unfortunately, sometimes the workload is a bit much, but she is super reasonable about what she puts on the exams. Overall, would recommend!",
