What students said
“Very hard professor but she is the best teacher I have ever had! You have an opportunity to rewrite every paper if you meet the deadlines.”
“She allows you to rewrite almost every assignment only if you meet her deadlines for peer review. If you want your writing to improve and actually learn something TAKE HER!”

“I rarely read the book, sometimes there are pop quizzes on them and the stuff she writes on the board. They are pretty easy.”
“Not an easy A but she is so sweet.”
