Jennifer is extremely kind and clearly cares about her students. Since I took the course online, it was structured to have a mix of weekly reading assignments, quizzes, and a discussion post. You learn a lot about research and get to work in a group to find papers for exploring a topic you choose with your group. I thought it was straightforward.
