Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Leema's class was a lot of application assignments, which means you have to be ready to make a mess and actually do things students in your future class would do! The class I took also had mastery checks on each assignment and then your grade was determined in a final meeting with her. She really cares about all her students and was very organized.
