literally the WOAT. She 1. teaches with an airpod in, 2. think just because she learned in France that her method is better ("I'm fresh educated" was her go to term), 3. not her fault, but also very hard to understand. Plus she never attends the lectures herself, and gets pissy when we don't. let me reiterate, the WOAT. that's all!

I took this class with her last spring, class was easy, and the topic was cool, but the lecture was sooooooooo boring. She used TopHat in all of her lectures to check attendance.

intro to the city (geog305) is an extremely boring course. discussions require a good amount of participation, final is a group project, no exams but walking tours are tedious and prompts require citations, lectures are excruciatingly boring (reads off the slides, no form of discussion) it feels pointless to go to class but she takes attendance
