The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Some students say an A is possible by doing homework carefully, but many describe heavy workload, strict grading, and favoritism concerns.
In-person reviews provide most grade evidence, while online reviews do not clearly show an easy path to an A.
Is the course easy?
The course often feels demanding because grammar and reading expectations can exceed what ESL students expect.
Online reviews directly call the level too high, while in-person reviews vary based on students' grammar foundation.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews do not clearly prove a consistent attendance policy.
Neither online nor in-person reviews provide clear attendance-policy evidence.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her for organized grammar learning but warn against her if workload, grading strictness, or advanced material is a problem.
Online recommendations are weak from limited negative evidence, while in-person recommendations are sharply mixed.
