Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Getting an A usually requires sustained work, careful writing, and surviving picky grading rather than just completing easy tasks.
Online evidence is much harsher, while some in-person students say hard work can still earn an A.
Is the course easy?
The material is not always described as conceptually impossible, but the reading, papers, quizzes, and pace make the course feel demanding.
Online reviews stress heavy content and timed quizzes, while in-person reviews vary from easy exams to very hard essay grading.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is marked mandatory in several in-person and one online review, but some online reviews say it was not required.
Online attendance varies by review, while in-person attendance is more often listed as mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
Some serious students recommend her, but many warn that strict grading and unclear expectations make the class risky.
Online reviewers are mostly negative, while in-person reviewers are more polarized.
