The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible, but comments repeatedly say it requires heavy reading, attendance, strong writing, and constant work.
All evidence comes from in-person reviews because there are no online reviews.
Is the course easy?
The course content is challenging because students cite heavy reading, older texts, analysis, essays, and high expectations.
Only in-person reviews describe course difficulty.
Is attendance flexible?
Several comments say attendance matters, including one that says absences cost points.
Only in-person reviews mention attendance, and the evidence shows low flexibility.
Is this professor recommended?
Students who like discussion and hard reading may value her, but many others strongly warn against taking her.
Recommendation evidence comes only from in-person reviews.

“Final is open note and book, but a little tough if you haven't been keeping up with everything.”
“Has like 3 essays and some pop quizzes.”
“No essay on final! Only 3 essays to submit!”
