The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Many in-person students say the class is easy with reading and study guides, but online and some project-heavy reviews warn it is not a free A.
Online evidence is harder and less forgiving, while in-person evidence is easier when students keep up.
Is the course easy?
Her clear explanations, study guides, and engaging lectures make the content accessible, though reading and projects add effort.
In-person reviews make the course sound beginner friendly, while the single online review describes a harder pace.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is not clearly mandatory, but students connect showing up, listening, and following study guides with better grades.
In-person comments mention attendance and class engagement more than the single online review.
Is this professor recommended?
Students recommend her because she is caring, clear, helpful, and makes class useful and interesting.
In-person reviews are overwhelmingly enthusiastic, while the lone online review is still recommending but more cautious.

Main concern
Some students report lots of busy work, reading, and occasional unfair or disconnected grading.

Main concern

What students said
“Hard class, decent teacher.”
“not an easy a class at all, but very valuable for CD majors.”

Assessment risk
Standard
52/100
Low score means less forgiving assessment conditions.
In-person reviews describe book-based tests and study guides, plus one comment about forced forward online-style exams in a review marked in person.
“She gives four tests, one assignment, and one child observation.”
“The questions on the test is STRAIGHT from the book.”
“All exams are "forced"; which means you can only go forward never back to change an answer.”
Online evidence says exams have challenging wording, but it does not clearly prove proctoring, webcam, Lockdown Browser, or open-book rules.
“The exams can be a bit challenging because of the wording”
