The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible, but students repeatedly describe strict deadlines, reading, attendance, and grading issues that make it costly.
Online evidence points to effort-based passing with strict deadlines, while in-person evidence adds more complaints about unfair or hard grading.
Is the course easy?
The course content is often manageable, but unclear teaching, heavy reading, and strict expectations make it feel harder.
Online reviews call the work manageable but lecture-heavy, while in-person reviews more often say the instructor makes an easy subject harder.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is often marked mandatory or strongly needed, though a few courses allow more flexibility.
Online attendance is mixed across reviews, while in-person reviews more often say attendance is mandatory or necessary to pass.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her only when they value structure and can handle strict rules, but many warn against her due to communication and grading problems.
Online reviews are more recently positive, while in-person reviews include many older but severe warnings.

Assessment risk
Varies
58/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews mention open-note tests, exams based on lectures, scantrons, and tough quizzes, but do not clearly prove a single consistent exam policy.
“Tests are open note. easy.”
“Only tested for exactly what was in the lectures.”
“her quizes are very tough .”
Online reviews mention a dropped lowest test score and an observation-based final, but do not clearly prove proctoring, webcam, Lockdown Browser, or open-book rules.
“She also has a policy of no late work under any circumstances but she does drop the lowest test score.”
“Final was okay I had to observe a child for one hour and take notes of what they are doing and you basically apply the concepts of what you have learned, kinda hard but manageable.”
