She is a nice professor. I think that she is a great writing and reading professor. However, she is not a excellent speaking professor. Because she usually focused on grammar and making sentences when I took her speaking class (EL110). Moreover, she seldom correct your speaking. Hence, if you take writing or reading class, this professor is great.
