She does give out a fair amount of Homework but that is only what is required in class. If you need help or have questions about anything that has to do with class, she has office open hours that you can come in for help. In class and out of class, she uses the textbook. And that requires a lot of reading. She gives honest feedback to your work.

I had her a few semesters ago. She was an amazing and caring professor. I needed a letter of recommendation recently and she remembered me after all these semesters. She wrote me an incredible letter and I got into my program. She loves teaching and it shows in her actions. I am grateful to have had her as my professor.

I don't know how she has a job, tbh. She's very disrespectful, and it seems like she loves living in this high school mean girl fantasy. She's a late grader. She picks on people, shes a liar, shes a gaslighter. Gets upset when you ask questions. Her canvas is very disorganized; it confuses herself sometimes. Take her if your life depends on it lol.
