She is a terribly sporadic grader, never staying true to her feedback; no matter how many times you alter your writing to fit her criteria, she will degrade your work. I walked away learning nothing from this class, because she made me, and everyone around me feel as if we had no idea what she wanted. My suggestion is to avoid this "teacher".
