ART 108
Quality 1/5Difficulty 2/5
Grading was hilarious that she can't even read English -- when I put up a definition of a word she asks the question again and seems like she doesn't understand pure English characters. You can't request extensions when she offers heavy workloads -- because she thought the time given to students was the same and should work with other assignments.

Murray reads off of her script during lecture. It is really bland and boring. Her TAs grade everything, so exams and assignments are pretty easy. The textbooks suck. But you don't need to read them to pass, so don't waste the money. All the exam content is provided during the (mandatory) lectures.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
Kel has a tendency to simply read an extremely long essay for her lectures. They go in an illogical order, making them very hard to follow. If she's done with class 2 minutes early she will chastise for packing up before she dismisses you. 10/10 would NOT take again.
