This class is not hard nor an easy A. I found the multiple-choice questions to be difficult for no reason, but the short-written questions were easy. I barely passed with an A. Don't recommend. ",

I also experienced grading issues where correct answers were marked wrong, significantly lowering my score until I had it reviewed. This made the grading feel unreliable and frustrating.",

The only negative I would say is that she didnt update canvas regularly (or ever really) but there werent alot of assignments, and her lectures made you want to listen and be attentive in class. Would reccomend to anyone!",
