AMERIND 250
Quality 4/5Difficulty 1/5
Like some others said, she can be a little disorganized at times. But she is passionate and the class is really interesting. You can get a good grade doing the minimum but you can also choose to get the most out of the class as I found it to be interesting and enjoyable.

Quality 3/5Difficulty 1/5
She was a nice person and obviously passionate about the subject, but was at times unorganized and unclear about the material. The transition to online classes was not smooth and relied on having a good TA to help.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 1/5
She's seems like nice person, the class was just very disorganized this semester. When we still had in-person classes, she rushed through lecture slides incredibly quick and even had to be asked several times to slow down. For the transition to online, a lot of the lecture material was posted very late. Seems passionate, just not organized.
