Love her class! She is super clear and tells you exactly how to do all the parts of a paper. If you pay attention and ask what you're not sure about, you will do well.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
She is poorly prepared for classes and crazy about attendance without clearly explaining its importance at the beginning of the semester. she always tends to respond to questions with more questions rather than providing direct answers, which makes communication challenging. She is a tough grader and teaches poorly.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 4/5Difficulty 5/5
Cannot agree more with her strict grading in Paper for this course, but overall she gives good lectures. Showing up in lecture for attendance and enhance your writing will help you succeed in this course.Rate My Professors ↗
