Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students earn A grades, but comments repeatedly say the A requires reading, essays, revisions, participation, and patience with slow grading.
Online and in-person evidence both show good grades are possible, but online comments stress workload while in-person comments are more polarized.
Is the course easy?
The material is not conceptually impossible, but the reading load, essay expectations, and discussion style make it demanding.
Online classes often feel assignment-heavy, while in-person classes add long discussions and participation pressure.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is inconsistent across reviews, with several mandatory or participation-heavy classes and some classes marked not mandatory.
Online evidence includes both optional asynchronous work and strict engagement, while in-person evidence often values attendance and participation.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her when they value feedback and improvement, but workload, slow grading, and strict essay standards create real hesitation.
Online reviews are moderately favorable, while in-person reviews include stronger love-it-or-avoid-it reactions.
