Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5

Brilliant professor - very bright without being smug about it. Expects a lot from exam (take home,48 hours, 10 pages minimun) and final paper but helps you along the way. Class is very well organized, seminar w/lots of participation but still follows a logical path. Also very nice and cute. I learned a lot from her class.Highly recommend it.
