The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students earn A grades, but comments repeatedly say the grade requires essays, reading, homework, participation, and steady effort.
Online reviews lean more effort-heavy, while in-person reviews include more examples of flexibility and easy grading when students participate.
Is the course easy?
The course content is not conceptually extreme, but frequent reading, writing, cold-calling, and essays make it feel demanding.
Online and in-person reviews both mention manageable content with meaningful workload, with online reviews sounding slightly more demanding.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance and participation are repeatedly marked mandatory or important, with cold-calling mentioned in several reviews.
Both formats emphasize attendance or participation, though a few in-person reviews say attendance was not mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend her because she is caring and helpful, but some warn against her workload and grading style.
Both formats are mostly positive, but online reviews include sharper warnings about workload and toughness.
