CollegeSomehow the easiest class I've ever had, but the only global class I've ever gotten a B in. Doesn't give interesting or retainable information, lectures (if they even happen) are just jargon. Graded on a couple written assignment with easy guidelines but they are graded based on things we weren't aware of. She is nice at least, but don't take.
Lezra is kind and passionate, but extremely disorganized. She doesn't follow the syllabus, assigns readings/assignments with little notice. Lectures are excruciating- no lecture slides (if there are, its just complex text), and hard to follow. Material is interesting, and fair grading.
Very disorganized, often wouldn't show up or just put on a documentary instead of lecturing. She put the majority of responsibility on the poor TA's.
In the last lecture I watched, she said um/uh 62 times in 5 minutes. As someone with a learning disability, it is super distracting and very difficult to understand what she is trying to say. Also, it is only when she is lecturing which is probably why everyone calls her disorganized.
Not the worst, but classes aren't organized or thought out. Focus is mainly on the reader with some movies as well, and grade is based on two papers and attendance. Claims to be a tough grader but really isn't.
Lezra is extremely confusing and unorganized. She cancelled class multiple times with no good explanation. She snaps at students randomly in class. She gives extremely vague prompts and expects very precise answers to questions you didn't even know she was asking. She gave me a C on a paper with little to no explanation.
