She's awesome. Can be difficult if you don't show enough interest in class. She can be boring at times but overall if you're interested in the subject she's a good teacher. Pretty easy if you try.

Knows his stuff, but boring lecturer. Enjoys it when students participate, however he does not make everyone comfortable enough to do so.
