The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades appear often, but comments repeatedly say grading is tough, papers are heavy, and deadlines are unclear.
Online and in-person reviews both show A-range outcomes, but both formats describe high friction and uneven grading.
Is the course easy?
The English content is not described as conceptually advanced, but unclear teaching and writing volume make it feel harder.
Online reviews stress tedious writing and quizzes, while in-person reviews stress confusing lectures and organization.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviews mark attendance as mandatory or say participation and attendance points matter.
Online reviews include mandatory attendance and camera-on comments, while in-person reviews repeatedly mention participation points.
Is this professor recommended?
The low take-again rate matches many direct warnings to avoid the class.
Online reviews are mostly negative, and in-person reviews are mixed but recent in-person comments are strongly negative.
