KT is a gem of the RMI department, for someone who has an additional full time job, you wouldn't know it because of how responsive she is to her students. I can't recommend her enough. Lectures are 1x for 3 hours, but it is so worth it as class is interactive and she gives breaks. Exams aren't bad if you pay attention and engage in lecture.
