Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Dr. Rutledge is literally the best professor EVER. She makes the content so easy, understandable, and interesting. There are dozens of opportunities to pull up your grade (participation points, reflections, extra credit, etc). Go to class and pay attention and youll barely need to study, you get a flashcard for the exam anyways. 10/10 recommend

Dr. Rutledge is such a caring and understanding professor. She even takes the effort to learn your name and get to know you. Her lectures are interesting and engaging, and the course's assessments are manageable and more than fair. I can't begin to express how much I would recommend her. Take the class if you have the chance!

Really awesome professor! She is passionate about the material and really down to earth. She also incorporates a lot of interesting and relevant examples that make lectures fun to go to. Exams are fair and so is the grading on reflections. HIGHLY recommend taking this class with Julia!
