Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
The course was very different from what anyone expected. Ty made the class experience very unpleasant and I did not learn much from her at all.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
It seemed like she made up the course material as the weeks went by... not at all what anyone thought this class would be about. Strict no technology rule, so we had to print out hundreds of pages weekly. Class discussions were very repetitive and awkward. Extremely long projects and papers that would be assigned under short notice.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
No adhesion to the course description. No respect for students' time. Inexplicably disengaging classes. Hundreds of pages of printing. Technology bans. Painfully unexciting curriculum. Repetitive. Unimaginative. Horrible. I left this course with nothing more than how to fabricate an understanding of a sanctimonious individual's bootless errand.
