CURRIC 370
Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
She treats us like 4-year-olds, micromanages everything, and seems to make things difficult on purpose. 2 minutes late? -3 for attendance that day. Forgot to capitalize something? -1 on your lousy 4 point assignment that took you way too long anyway. Passive-aggressive. Only upside: the program bonds over not liking her.
