The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students earn As and some call it super easy, but reading, papers, vague prompts, and slow feedback make the A less automatic.
Online reviews include more easy-A claims, while in-person reviews show more workload and organization concerns.
Is the course easy?
The concepts are usually accessible and discussion-based, but the volume of reading, videos, and writing raises the challenge.
Online sections can feel easier when organized, while both formats report reading-heavy and writing-heavy weeks.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is often listed as optional or not emphasized, with flexibility mentioned more often than strict attendance.
Online evidence is clearly flexible, while in-person evidence is mixed but usually not attendance-driven.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her when they value the topic and flexibility, but many warn against slow grading, unclear directions, and heavy workload.
Both formats are polarized, with online reviews showing the clearest split between praise and frustration.
