She really is a nice lady, and will take the time to meet with you or email you. She loves it when you participate, and tries to keep the class interesting.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5

Knowledgable and passionate professor. Classes are seminar-like with complementary topics and readings each day. Reading load varies and there is a large writing component to the course as well, but all of they're all highly interesting and engaging. If you come prepared, the class really does make you think critically and ask questions.
