For every other day or so discussion write whatever you want. I will make a high B possibly A after extra credit she gives for reviewing her class. But be prepared to work

Her essay prompts are EXTREMELY VAUAGE she doesn't give clear guidelines so I write what I think goes best with the prompt, then I got Bs and C on my essays. It seems to me that you have to write what she wants you to write or else you won't get an A on the essays. Granted this was a minimester but its A LOT of work. Make sure to get 100's on quiz.
