I took her for summer. She is very nice and her lectures are very entertaining! The downside was she required you to purchase a new online book for the code ($75). There was no way out of that due to the tests being online with the book. Besides that she made the 3 hours fly by. She assigned a ton of work, but it was still a good class.
