Professor Mundi made the class very fun and engaging. She'll want you to participate in class (so it might be a little scary for students who are shy). She makes you work for your grade, meaning she's a tough grader. Having said that, she gives very good feedback and is clear with her instructions. I'd also add she's very caring and understanding!

I don't know how she got a rating this high. Her class is definitely more difficult than other WRIT340. She has an attitude toward students, won't answer your questions directly, and gives you more work than needed. She assigns your next paper while you're still working on the previous one. At one point, we had 3 papers concurrently. AVOID!
