Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A high grade is possible, but students describe tough grading, many projects, and time-consuming homework.
Online evidence makes the A feel harder, while in-person reviews suggest the workload is fairer with clearer support.
Is the course easy?
Entry-level courses can feel advanced because assignments are detailed, multi-part, and design standards are high.
Online students report vague and overly complicated work, while in-person students describe the same design material as useful and manageable.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews do not clearly establish an attendance policy, though one in-person class tags participation as important.
Neither format provides enough direct attendance evidence to call it optional or mandatory.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her when they value detailed feedback, but many online students hesitate because grading and workload feel harsh.
Online recommendations are mixed, while both in-person reviews are clearly positive.
