Dr. Gelormino is a very sweet lady but there is NO organization, consistency, or clarity of expectations. She changes the "table" of when everything is due regularly without posting so you need to check Canvas every day because the assignment you thought was due in two weeks is due tomorrow. Instructions? Unclear. Feedback? Minimal. Grading? Tough.
