Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Some students earned A grades, but repeated complaints about tough, unclear grading and extensive assignments make the A costly.
Online evidence is harsher and more unpredictable, while in-person evidence is mixed with one generous quiz-focused review.
Is the course easy?
The course content is not described as conceptually extreme, but heavy reading, lecture-heavy delivery, and unclear expectations make it harder.
Online reviews emphasize inconsistent content and confusion, while in-person reviews emphasize lecture-heavy classes and reading.
Is attendance flexible?
Participation is mentioned as sometimes required or important, but strict attendance rules are not clearly proven.
Online reviews mention rare required participation, while in-person evidence only notes that participation matters in one review.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students do not recommend her because grading feels tough, unclear, slow, and poorly supported.
Online reviews are strongly avoid-oriented, while in-person reviews include both strong warnings and a few recommendations.
