Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
This class is BORING, but it's not entirely Kari's fault. She is willing to answer questions and tries to make it as interesting as possible for a class like this. However, her exams are not representative of what you learn in class. There were some random physiology questions on our exams that came out of nowhere.
