For the course project (group project), she would give feedback, we'd make changes accordingly, and then we would get an even worse grade on the next deliverable. She also accused my team of using AI to write our report when we did not. Her grading was very difficult and felt unfair.",

    "comment": "I genuinely enjoyed having her as a professor. Gave 100% on all class activities and truly does care about the subject. Exams are harder than past semesters and definitely not an easy A. Math and physics were present and probably should've been presented better for those who didn't learn prior to class. Might be too elementary of a class for her.",

Her exams will have some strange theories, you need to review 100% of the content to notice it. Avoid her, Avoid her, Avoid her!!!",

The lack of homework makes exams hard to prepare for and her slides are very rough, missing answers for examples. Exams are difficult too. While the TA and Co-Teacher are kind and helpful, I wouldn't recommend taking her class.",
