Hi Dr. Wheeler, why am I here? I can't explain it myself because it's 12:43am, and I'm suppose to be studying. hm.. I think the students here would want me to evaluate you. I guess she's a great teacher. She's definitely hyper at times. 10/10 times she's never mad; you do the math, unless you plagiarize. If you do, you're going to hell anyways.

Simply the best. For anyone reading this comment,I command you to take this class. If you don't,you will never know what an intransitive verb is, or how to properly use who/whom when writing an essay(lol). On the more serious side, if you don't take her class, you will be at high risk for suicide, because editing an essay is very stressful.
