The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A good grade is possible, but comments repeatedly say students must read, write many papers, attend, communicate, and revise under tough grading standards.
Both formats show high effort, with online reviews adding stricter time pressure and in-person reviews emphasizing attendance and sustained work.
Is the course easy?
The course content is writing-heavy and often described as challenging, with complex expectations and demanding reading and essay work.
Online reviews stress workload density, while in-person reviews stress challenging writing development and class preparation.
Is attendance flexible?
Multiple in-person reviews say she notices lateness and absences and is strict about attendance.
Strict attendance evidence is almost entirely in-person, while online reviews focus more on deadlines than attendance.
Is this professor recommended?
She is recommended by students who value growth and feedback, but many warn against taking her for an easy or low-stress class.
In-person reviews are more positive over the long term, while online reviews are more concerned about workload and deadlines.
