Rebekah is so far one of my favorite teachers at UW-Madison. Loved the class. I do recommend you do your homework on time and put in the effort in this class and you will succeed. You will learn a lot of valuable stuff.

She gave us donuts but was often petty at times and a bit condescending. She grades really hard but the content was interesting so it wasn't all bad. In general I wouldn't recommend her. She often made me question whether or not I was smart enough for college and if I deserved to be at UW.

Honestly, I took the class for the insane amount of requirements it covers. However, it slowly became my favorite course in the Spring, easy A but you will learn more from it than a lot of your "major" courses.

Professor Willett is great. This class was interesting and taught me a lot. No tests so there wasn't any stress. Weekly assignments are just graded on completion essentially. She didn't overcomplicate the course, which I appreciated. I would recommend her.

Professor Wilett wasn't a bad choice by any means, however the course may be harder than it seems. The course comprises primarily of "busy" work and this entails regular assignments, papers and tests every so often. Attendance is not mandatory however you do get extra credit(through TopHat) for attending class.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 4/5
She is overall a good teacher, but at least in this class it is hard for her to relate to students not planning on going into schools. Also there is a lot of theory study that I have no idea how to apply, even though she asks us to apply it to every assignment.
