I took her online, and in retrospect I might avoid it. The A is not that hard to get, but she is awfully nitpicky and, even if you fully grasp the concepts, will nail you on subjective things in the writing assignments early on. Fair warning: unless pretty much every class is easy for you and you're autodidactic, take someone else.
