She is NOT the devil. On the contrary, she is probably one of the best intructors on staff at the university. She tells you exactly what she wants from you, her door is ALWAYS open for any matter and she wants to see everyone come out a better person than what they entered. Be prepared to work, but also to leave w/ a real appreciation for writing.
