I took this online and it was my first online class through this school. At first, it was difficult to get the expectations and schedule down, but she was really lenient and graded fairly.

One of those professors who doesn't believe in 100%, always finding anything to dock points off. Took 5 points off because I added an “s” to the end of her name, and added a hyphen instead of a period between the course code and section number on one of the first papers of the semester when it wasn't discussed. So bad at responding to emails.
