Quality 1/5Difficulty 1/5
Easy class, Terrible professor. Always had new students each week teaching that weeks hw or was always watching a video. Can easily pass without going to class but makes attendance mandatory. Assignments were really easy and the exams were poorly worded.

LIS 202
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Didn't teach a single lesson all semester. Each week she had 3 changing students teach the class without any guidance, those students would talk about the homework and nothing else. Exams questions were vague at best (most of the multiple answers could be considered correct, which is the most correct?)
