CollegeHer feedback and grading of your papers are literally from ChatGPT. I learned nothing from this class. She doesn't teach and claims it's the "most scientific method according to research."
I recommend her class.

She was one of my favorite teachers! Her class was truly inspiring and helpful. She always prepared interesting group projects and innovative ways of improving public speaking for non-native speakers. I learned a lot about speaking confidently and being able to convey a message thanks to her course materials. I would definitely recommend her class!
