Reviews
She reads off her slides for her lectures and bases her exams off of her slides AND student presentations, then for your assignments she will grade you super ambiguously but super strictly and take off 15%+ with the note being "some aspects could be better". She is also like 80 years old and struggling to understand basic English. She is sweet tho

Tests are difficult and WILL take the entire time to finish, but she offers lots of chances for review. Had reading quizzes every class but they were super easy, just need to skip the chapter before class. Lecture was kinda boring. Not my favorite class but not unbearable.
