The class often becomes frustrating just due to the sheer volume of work that could feasibly be much shorter. Accessible and often an easy A, but will take up a lot of your time.",

She is so sweet and caring and genuinely wants you to do well in the course. She is an easy grader and will give you lots of work but the work isn't difficult. If you can, take a class with her!",

Some people have complained about her organization, but I personally thought it was very clear what was due when - for each day of class there's a downloadable homework assignment, so it's never been particularly confusing.",

At times the homework accumulated way way too much and we'd have two projects and a writing assignment due in two days unexpectedly.
