The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Some students got A grades by doing all the work, but the heavy writing load, tough grading, and delayed feedback make the A costly.
The online review is much harsher, while in-person reviews range from easy A claims to very stressful grading experiences.
Is the course easy?
The content itself is not always hard, but the volume of essays, journals, reading, and unclear expectations raises the challenge.
Online evidence points to extreme workload, while in-person evidence is mixed but still workload-heavy.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance expectations are inconsistent because students mention both frequent instructor absences and attendance-related frustration.
Only in-person reviews discuss absences in detail, while the single online review does not prove an attendance policy.
Is this professor recommended?
Recent and detailed reviews warn against the course because of heavy workload, tough grading, late feedback, and disorganization.
The lone online review is strongly negative, and in-person reviews are split but contain many severe warnings.

Assessment risk
Varies
50/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews mention finals but do not clearly prove a consistent exam format or proctoring policy.
“Walking into finals blind made it even more stressful.”
“There are a total of 8 papers in this class and she only graded 3 before the final.”
The online review does not clearly prove exam format, proctoring, webcam use, open-book status, midterms, or finals.
