like 90% of assignments are automatically graded, so she hardly has to actually grade anything. Yet, the stuff she is required to grade, she takes over a MONTH to do, and if you don't check her grading, she will give you no credit for work you did, because SHE misses it. To get credit, you have to email her, takes days to hear back. Don't take
