Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5

Instead of informing us when she decided, this woman tells us of her retirement when the semester was already over. Terrible at answering emails and doesn't make herself available to students. Good riddance. What a terrible representation of a great University.

Boring lectures. She rambles on a lot. Her ppts are good but she doesn't add much so sleep in and skip her class. She's rigid and has awful deadlines which conflict with other projects and deadlines within her own class as well as others. Only used the textbook for quizzes. Never read it otherwise
