Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Getting an A appears possible, but students say it requires close reading, many assignments, and careful writing.
Online evidence is strongly negative on effort, while in-person evidence is mixed but still points to high effort.
Is the course easy?
The course content is not described as conceptually impossible, but quizzes focus on small details and the reading workload is heavy.
Online reviews emphasize detail-heavy quizzes and handwritten work, while in-person reviews emphasize reading and writing precision.
Is attendance flexible?
Most reviewed sections list attendance as mandatory, though one in-person review says it was not mandatory.
Both formats include mandatory attendance evidence, but the in-person record is mixed.
Is this professor recommended?
Most reviews are negative because strict grading and workload outweigh the positive comments about passion and care.
Online reviews do not recommend the experience, while in-person reviews are sharply split.
