CURRIC 372
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
One of the funniest and kindest people I have met. She makes class entertaining and engaging. Very understanding of your many commitments other than her class and takes the time to get to know all of her students. Would recommend taking 372 with her over any other professor!
