Amazing!! SO caring, theres just 3 papers about 1500 each. Straight forward, take online. Remember though, she does not give out the A without furthering your papers and revising.

Her instructions were very straight forward and easy to understand. Has a few short assignments every week along with 4 main papers. Is quick at giving good/useful feedback. Genuinely cares about her students success and encourages practicing self care wherever you can. I hate writing but I would take her class again solid 8.5/10.
