The class was really boring. As long as you read the textbook on your own you will do fine on the exams. I managed to get an A. Don't take her though unless you have to.

This class was so boring. Lectures and plates were straight out of the book made it easy to follow. Class stuck to an organized syllabus and tests and quizzes were from lecture notes. If you go to class, it should be an easy B.
