Prof. Wren was obviously thrown for a loop with the change in textbooks. The materials were haphazardly thrown together, over 200 pages of reading a week - much of it just cut and paste from internet. The tests progressively got worse in terms of spelling, grammar, duplicate questions and answers. She would not release class avg or admit mistakes.

Most inconsiderate individual I've ever run across in academic career. Zero accountability with her. Released Module nearly a day late (fitting end to course). Doesnt review terribly worded exam questions (or anything she's done in course FTM). BTW We're not getting a zoom session (or anything else) from her. May as well have a robot run the course
