Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
There were multiple documents to edit every class and wasn't organized at all. Classes were full of confusion.

This is just an odd class- I wouldn't take again. The material can be very weird and I don't fw it at all. Sue is just so disorganized. 3 hour class every week and a CBL every week is very time consuming. Don't take.
