Theme 1

👨‍🏫 About Teaching Style

Brags more than lectures, goes on and on about her personal accomplishments but extremely scatterbrained about course material.
She really cares about you doing well. if you have an issue.
and taking notes is tough.

Theme 2

📈 About Difficulty and Grades

There is no easy A or B in this class and this teacher was probably a dril seargeant in her past life.
I worked my butt off for that A!lol.. but I learned a lot!
Can get an A on work but B in class.

Theme 3

⚠️ About Organization

She cannot remember anything, including the time she stepped out of class for a second and forgot we were taking a mid term that day.
This woman is a joke She doesn't even know what day of the week it is but expects us to operate with robot efficiency
and rambles on about NUTTHIN.
