Went into this class thinking it would be an easy GE. I was wrong. Attendance is mandatory. Her communication about assignments is not clear. There was lots of confusion in the first few weeks that could have been easily avoided if she had been clearer on instructions and due dates. It's an easy A if you do everything asked, but really annoying.

Absolutely ruined my day every time she would talk about her students in such a negative way.

In my academic history, no teacher has ever set assignments at such odd hours. This professor opens Canvas deadlines for just a few midday hours, even on weekends. She got 800+ emails from a ~300-student class due to confusion, yet blamed students and spoke condescendingly instead of fixing the chaos.

This professor sets absurd Canvas deadlines, with assignments only open for a few midday hours, even on weekends. She admitted receiving over 800 emails in a ~300-student class because people were confused, yet instead of fixing the problem, she blamed students and spoke to them in a belittling, condescending way.

take this class for an easy A and GE credits. you will have to put up with her personality and random bs but if you can tolerate her it will be the easiest class of your life. i barely put in any effort and i got an a.

She acts like she's on ur side with things like bad wifi, messed up/unclear due dates of assignments, however then refuses to fix them. Pretty inconsiderate, and stuck up woman.
