Grade: Rather not say
Dec 9, 2025

never felt more stupid in a class. makes you feel dumb in office hours, instead of helping. extremely hard to get along with. did relatively well in the class, in terms of grades, but she was an extremely tough grader. It isn't the material that I didn't understand, its her. she seems to have favourites.

very hard marker. Decreases your confidence level and makes you feel very below her if you do not understand a concept, even in office hours she was not helpful.
