About this rating

Raw average: 2.39/5 from 33 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

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.

Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
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.
