MATH 720
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Unappealing lectures, yet she became furious at the end of the semester because too few people attended. Kind of confusing, since the "everyone must pay attention to me" narc phase should've ended around age two.

Lectures are not very well structured. There was no mandatory attendance policy, but she was mean to those who don't attend regularly. I feel a little sorry for her. I hope she will never take out her personal negative emotions on students ever again.
