Theme 1

👨‍🏫 About Teaching Style

  • She lectures for more than an hour and a half and shows very little emotion.
  • She brings her own experience as a musician to the classroom.
  • Instead of her taking things step by step it honestly just feels like she's throwing the book at you.

Theme 2

📈 About Difficulty and Grades

  • Notes are garbage unless you get the textbook and read every sentence
  • Only plus was that she had a lot of opportunities.

Theme 3

⚠️ About Expectation Gap

  • ? Think again.
  • If you are taking this to bump up your gpa like I thought, it won't help.
  • I felt so unprepared for every quiz and test!
