Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5

Reba does not teach; she admitted multiple times that she didn't even want to be a teacher. She will grade you harshly. DO NOT take this for a comm b, this is the worst class and teacher I have ever had. I spent more time on this than on Chemistry, about 30 hours a week. Complete waste of time, and she purposely ruined my 4.0.

Quality 2/5Difficulty 1/5

Lectures DRAG. Two hours is two hours too long for this class. Very unstructured discussions where students lead, except we all agree on everything we say so there's no progress. Teaches us like we're in elementary school, practicing citations and peer review every assignment. Rubrics are unspecific so you never know what ur doing for assignments
