ASIANAM 152
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
She is an extremely tough grader, especially for an elementary-level class. The readings were strange and lacked cohesiveness, and some were weirdly explicit. Overall, just an unresponsive and unreasonable professor

Her grading was a NIGHTMARE. This is the first B- I've ever gotten at this university as a sophomore. I never thought I could get a B- in an elementary class. Don't take her class!!!!!!!!!!!

might not be that bad if you weren't in her section but there are very few things to be graded on and everything was graded harshly
