I took ELPA502 online and it was really easy. If you put in work, youre guaranteed an A. I learned a ton during this class, and the content was interesting and relatable. The recorded lectures are awesome. You can pick what you want to learn which is awesome. Julie is a very knowledgeable professor and this class was great.

Dr. Mead has an attitude that suggests that she's better than her students. She should also try to understand that students need feedback in a timely manner. She overwhelms her students with a ton of work, yet when she returns work back to her students really late, she chalks it up to her busy life. Really? As if she's the only one with a busy life
