HDFS 517
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
She is a great teacher. The material can get a little repetitive, but she includes multiple discussions and activities to make sure we stay engaged.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 1/5
She tries to make lecture interesting but overall it is pretty boring. Easy class. 3 tests and you can drop your lowest score.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
She seems really unsure of herself and sometimes she talks in circles, but overall i would recommend this class and even another course taught by her. The class itself is pretty easy if you do what is asked of you (which isn't all that much).Generally she wants to give good grades if you do the work. Accessible through email!

Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
She is really nice, and very willing to help. There are weekly readings, but you can skim to think of a discussion question to post (need 6 for the semester). There's a big project that counts for 30% (a 40 minute presentation on a topic of your choice). She's a fair grader on it. And there's a final project paper and a take home quiz.
