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

Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
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!!!!!!!!!!!

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
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
