Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Getting an A appears difficult because many students describe tough grading, unclear feedback, and high project standards despite a few high grades.
Online evidence is consistently harsh, while in-person evidence is mixed but still includes several strict-grading complaints.
Is the course easy?
The course content may be basic design work, but students often say explanations are unclear and technical help is inconsistent.
Online reviews emphasize confusing feedback, while in-person reviews range from beginner-friendly help to weak technical instruction.
Is attendance flexible?
One positive in-person review says she is flexible about arriving late, but another review warns that skipping class can hurt passing.
Attendance comments appear only in in-person reviews, and online reviews do not clearly prove an attendance policy.
Is this professor recommended?
Most recent students do not recommend her because they describe harsh grading, unclear teaching, and poor feedback.
Online reviews are fully negative, while in-person reviews are divided between older praise and newer strong criticism.
