Her Canvas page was a mess as you couldn't see your grade and the syllabus did not help provide structure. She held past the class time occasionally as well.",

    "comment": "If you're into films and music it's perfect because you learn the history of both simultaneously. She was highly knowledgeable about all topics taught and easy to ask questions about stuff. Although you don't really see your grade on canvas the course is taught well enough it doesn't really matter because you'll likely pass. Would recommend!!!",
