The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many students say an A is easy if you consistently do the assignments, but it is not effortless because the work is steady and detailed.
Online reviews stress strict weekly work, while in-person-counted reviews more often call it an easy A if you keep up.
Is the course easy?
The content is usually manageable and well structured, but the volume of reading, writing, and projects can make it feel demanding.
Online reviews mention simple quizzes and planned assignments, while in-person-counted reviews emphasize busy work and practical tasks.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews focus on online schedules and due dates rather than attendance, so flexibility appears tied to managing deadlines.
Online and in-person-counted reviews discuss due dates and work pacing, not a clear attendance rule.
Is this professor recommended?
Students strongly recommend her because she is helpful, responsive, encouraging, and fair when students do the work.
Both formats are mostly positive, though online reviews include sharper complaints about workload and strictness.
