Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
Course was difficult. Material was not easily applicable to the quizes. From speaking with classmates, it seems everyone is struggling. Somehow this professor has no time to give feedback either, after she was asked, and said she would. Would happily avoid another course with her if possible.
