Absolutely hated the lecture style. Online course, two people presented each day. Heard from the professor during class sporadically before and after presentations. Not what I wanted from the course, I wish there were real lectures.

NEVER TAKE HER!!!!! She is unstructured and lazy! Whole class consisted of student presentations everyday and her giving a remark here and there... Quizzes were based on these presentations but were TOUGH. She didn't hand back quizzes because she didn't want to make new quizzes if she taught the class again. ALSO, the reader was $88!!!!!!

Okay so the class is easy BUT holy moly does she assign wayyyy too much to read. She also will drag on a topic for 40 mins that only takes 15 mins to explain. Get ready to read and don't fall behind! Workload is ridiculous but content is manageable.

CHST184A consisted of weekly reading, questions, blog discussions, and essays. A lot of homework but no studying needed!

Completely terrible. The workload she assigns is inhumane. She expects you to read 100 pages in a single day, with questions on the reading due the very next day. Grade heavily depends on your TA. Lazily rehashes old material. Boring, outdated content.

Absolutely awful. Inhumane the amount of work she gives. She expects you to read like 50-100 pages in ONE DAY and the very next day those reading questions are due. Wouldn't budge on the grading policy until she was hounded by hundreds of students. Depends on your TA but they make or break your grade.
