Martha as a person is a true sweetheart and gives a lot of good feedback for the group project. Unfortunately her grading criteria is very unclear and she has extremely high expectations for a 2 credit class. For a 2 credit class, it seems nearly impossible to get an A without putting in the amount of work for a 4-credit class.

This class is one of the worst I've taken. The exams are hard, the paper is very time consuming, and she grades really harsh. Hard to get an A even when putting in a lot of time and effort. With the amount of work, this class should be at least 4 credits.

Lectures are painfully boring (t tests, one way anova, etc.) all relating to exercise studies. Are pre class worksheets, in class worksheets, and generally one out of class assignment every week. On top of that, you have exams and a huge group project. Feels like much more than a 2 credit class.

Martha is not clear on anything she teaches and this class seems more like a four credit than a two credit class.
