She's a genuinely funny/entertaining person, but as a teacher she's tough. Grades depend on how well you do on tests, which is usually fine but many questions on the exams seem a bit ambiguous and the answers subjective. Missing a couple drops your grade down considerably, which is frustrating since the subject's relatively easy. She's hot, though

Grade: Drop/Withdrawal
Dec 9, 2025

one of the harshest professors that i have had by far. will accuse you of using AI, plagiarism, or just find any excuse to give out zeros on term papers. do not bother going to anyone to complain as they will not help you. steer clear.
