Class is easy, course material is easy, but only if you can keep up with her lectures. She likes to play, "catch me if you can" with her lectures. Whether she's aware or not, she's been told by her class that she talks much too fast. Combine that with her heavy accent, lectures are hard to follow. GPA booster, but be prepared to suffer.
