Very fair? Couldn't be further from the truth. My most disliked instructor yet! Definitely picks favorites, ridiculously ambiguous, the only thing I learned all semester is that if you're 5 minutes late, you will have a point taken off of your speech as well as your paper! She gives NO guidlines and then marks down things other teachers require.
