The environment of the classroom is just so awkward, which would been nice if she, as a instructor, put some effort to make the learning community better but she didn't. It was not a pleasure taking her dry lectures. Avoid her if you can.",

    "comment": "Kristin exceeds my expectations of a 118 instructor. She is humorous, whose lectures are enjoyable even the topic is doctrine; she is helpful, with whose comments on my draft I am clear what to improve; she is caring, with whose encouragements I keep trying my best. The 118 process is painful, but Kristin makes it worth. Every word from heart.",

She is strict with all the requirements of the homeworks, that is to say, if you miss even only one of the requirements, you are likely to miss about ten percent of the score However, she gives lots of suggestions on the essays and will improve your score if you follow her instructions But I will not take it again.",
