She initially comes across as kind but a tad eccentric, but you quickly learn that she is disorganized beyond belief and then will berate you/the class when there is a misunderstanding. Another comment mentioned gaslighting, which applied to my experience as well",

BUT she is unorganized, tends not to include rubrics for assignments and when she does include one she doesn't follow it when grading. Along with this she rarely responds to emails, when she does they are short and don't address your actual question. This class was a disappointment.",

I don't think the work load was the fault of the professor at all... obviously a summer class is going to be a lot more work than during the semester, so just be prepared to read a lot (but only one big paper!)",

I would never take a class with her again. Horrible experience, but I liked the material taught. TAs were accessible for any question . I recommend 306 with a different professor",
