The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Students earned A grades, but comments say the grade requires heavy reading, homework, quiz preparation, and attendance.
Online evidence confirms A is possible with work, while in-person evidence is harsher and less grade-friendly.
Is the course easy?
The material is made harder by unclear instructions, heavy reading, and too many assignments.
Both formats show challenge, but in-person PARA97B reviews are much more negative than online PARA88.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is repeatedly marked mandatory, and one online review says she takes roll at the beginning and sometimes at the end.
Both online and in-person reviews indicate mandatory attendance.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her in PARA88 when expectations are clear, but several others strongly warn students away.
Online recommendation is split, while in-person recommendation depends heavily on the course.
