Very tough grader. Not sure if I would take a class of hers again. Probably wouldn't recommend unless you're a very detailed and specific person when answering test/homework questions. I will say she does let you resubmit assignments for half credit back. Also, a replacement exam is offered towards the end. Saved my grade tbh

I will purposely avoid taking another one of her classes. She grades strict and her lectures are far from engaging. Lots of studying on your own.

Lectures are dragged on and is really bad at helping us complete our homework. She also grades harsh on homework.
