Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5

LSC 340 was great. She did a good job at explaining things clearly and really wanted everyone to do well in the class. The 2 exams were straightforward and pulled directly from lecture. Lecture was long at times but was broken up with good questions to stop and talk about. If you are interested in misinformation than this class is perfect!

Honestly a very genuine and thoughtful educator, she is very well versed in her field and you can tell she is passionate about science communication. Lecture heavy but she is a great lecturer so it goes by quick
