Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
I've had Monica for two semesters now, and she is absolutely my favorite professor so far. She really encourages class participation and conversation, and handled the transition to online classes really well this past spring. She really challenges you to push yourself to think deep about topics discussed in class, but it definitely pays off!

Monica's classes are a ton of work but SO worth it because she tries to prepare you for your future. Take the time to get to know her and she can be your most useful resource. Just be ready to put in the work to earn your grade.

Monica did a great job presenting info that students need to succeed in internships after graudation. She really cares about he students and is very willing to help. She makes the guidelines for the first assingment intentionally ambiguous because she wants students to problem solve, but is open to questions and holds workshops to clarify.
