Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Good professor. Class was interesting, but material wasn't overly difficult. Big on weekly assignments, weekly discussion (online class), so this is not a class where you can slack off and do all your assignments at the last minute. Good teacher. The previous commenter was right: her classes do have a lot of work, but that's not a bad thing.
