HORRENDOUS!!! There is no TEACHING. You are supposed to look at articles and watch videos by yourself. She does not share here knowledge and I find this INSANE. Second. The amount of work that you need to do weekly is huge! The topic itself should be interesting. But, she made it AWFULL. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS SAD EXCUSE OF A TEACHER!!!

Lots of homework
So many papers
Lecture heavy
