Seems nice as a person but she is insanely disogranized and lacks empathy for her students. I understand that its her first year teaching but how can you mess up this much.. she needs to communicate more instead of leaving her students in the dark. I wouldnt recommend her to anybody. Adam looks like a king now! Good luck studying,
Rachel's honestly a really nice and caring prof. She's new to teaching, but she obviously wants us to do as well as possible with minimal stress. She had 2 midterms, of which she'll only count the higher one. The final's only 30%, and 4 assignments for 20%. Super accessible and eager to help! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
She seemed nice at the beginning of the semester but continued to screw us over the rest. She tried to make it easier by giving assignments but they were very disorganized and not reflective of the course content. Midterms were random and took forever to mark them. Shows no compassion and won't take "excuses" for the online, proctored midterms.
Do not take this prof. She seems nice and fair with her grading, but she is an awful teacher. I understand this is her first year teaching, but she was extremely disorganized. She always made excuses for her errors and never took credit. Her lectures were all over the place and not clear. DO NOT RECOMMEND
Only 2 midterms and the lower one gets dropped. Assignments had 2 attempts and weren't too bad. There've been some technical difficulties but biochem is generally hard... can't blame the prof for struggling in the course
The lectures are pretty chill. Accounting for a late start and a break in the middle - it's pretty manageable. I'm not a particularly high achieving student, but I managed an A on the midterms and it's looking like I'm gonna end up with an A/A-. Biochem is hard, but it's been good so far :)
She's new to teaching, there are going to be road bumps. There was some confusion about midterm exam format, which was frustrating, but in time hopefully she learns to better communicate evaluation details.
Dr. Kowlowski first taught this class spring of 2023. While I think she's a sweetheart, I tried defending her lack of preparation for class until she no showed for the last day of lecture. She is a forgiving professor, the midterms weren't hard and neither was the assignments. However, she speed runs through stuff and I don't know what's testable?
I get why a lot of people don't like her and tbh I was like that too at first. But she is an amazing person n she is so passionate. She has a very philosophical pov and she incorporates that into her lectures. So sweet and talking to her is like talking to a friend. She is young/trying a new career path. idc ab the grade i get i loved her.
One of a kind professor. She gives breaks during lectures because she cares about her students. Encourages being present and thinking philosophically about life. Bonus question on the final too. Absolutely enjoyed this professor
I really enjoyed the way Dr. Kozlowski taught. She CARES about us and about biochemistry, you can just tell how passionate she is about what she does. She's new to teaching this class so obviously it won't be smooth right off the bat but she listened to us and tried her best. Reassured us a lot which I LOVED. Listened to feedback! Highly recommend!
kinda useless. just skip class and look at the slides... she is a big fan of the word um and doesnt know what time lectures start at. also idk if she knows how the microphone works??? she gotta maybe take her job seriously lol
Never met a more disrespectful person. Practice materials were all from the other class unrelated to our content. Unresponsive to emails. Ignorant to student situations and unable to listen to concerns. Syllabus changed in the middle of the night multiple times. Slow marker. Disorganized and always late. I taught myself the class.
The course load itself isn't heavy and she is sweet but unfortunately that does nothing for you on an exam. You can get by with 1 midterm, 4 quizzes and the final, but at the cost of teaching yourself the course. The lectures are scattered, poorly explained and you lose half an hour just waiting. It's a difficult course, don't make it any harder.
While Dr. Kozlowski has the potential to be a great professor, her first iteration of BCH2333 was relatively disorganized and chaotic. Some of her lectures were awesome, but I often did not feel prepared to solve the problem sets. That said, I appreciated her low-stress approach to teaching, and I hope that she can learn from her mistakes.
She is very knowledgeable in biochemistry but I don't think she was the best or most organized professor
well umm... this was a dumpster fire. I know being new is hard but wow being late and not showing up. And ummm how do you not realize that changing the syllabus after the drop date in the middle of the night is wrong. umm... like... umm I taught myself it all because most of the lecture was spent on saying umm and blaming everything on the students
still waiting for her to show up (no hate tho)
She genuinely cares about every student, and constantly encouraged us to be kind to ourselves/ to prioritize how we feel/ stresses that our grades aren't really what's important in the long run, but how we treat ourselves is. I moved across the country alone to come to UO, it was nice to feel like someone cared for me when I had no one else.
As a teacher, she is pretty bad. She teaches slowly and most of the information one has to relearn after lectures/right before tests. However, her tests/quizzes are relatively easy and you can drop one midterm. If you have a good chemistry foundation take her class. If chemistry is a weak point, you'll have to do a lot of learning outside class.
Get ready to be gaslit and wait for her to show up. Super disorganized and maybe too chill. Contradicts herself every 5 mins. However, find a good TA (Elly W.) and go to DGDs and you are set. She is an easy marker and her test material is pretty straightforward. Grading is flexible. If you can teach yourself and stay accountable, you can do well
She is super nice and caring. She is very lenient with grading so if you put in effort, it is easy to get a good mark. She allows cheat sheets on each midterm and the final. She is often late to lectures and is not the best at explaining things so you will have to take some learning into your own hands but overall, she is a good prof for gen chem.
this class was a fever dream. tried to convince us not to come to the midterms and to take a break instead..? overall was nice but her teaching style is very questionable.
This professor was amazing. I 100% recommend her. She made it easy to pass the course with the way it was taught. memory aids were permitted on all tests and if a question was done poorly she would drop the question. this professor did everything in her power to ensure that her students succeded in her course.
Great professor. Cares about students needs. Understands the stress students are under and is very accommodative. Nothing to not like.
The lectures are laid back but you have to practice a lot of questions to ensure you can solve them. If you need extra help I'd recommend going to her office hours or ask a question on bright space (she's active there as well) AND the option of picking the best midterm saved my life as I didn't have time to fully prepare for the 2nd midterm.
Midterm was 10 questions, they were all almost impossible and nothing came from the slides.
Don't take this prof if you have a choice. Her midterm does not reflect the content evaluated on her quiz, practice sets, DGD questions, and mini midterm at all. I don't understand why we practice for all of those topics, and then not get evaluated on them. We got tested on the littlest details on the slides she spent a minute max on.
She may have been a great prof last year as the course was online, but not this year with the course being in-person. She does not take constructive criticism from her students and blames them for not studying hard enough. Professor Kozlowski does not provide reflective midterms of the course content we've spent a lot of time on. Overall unfair.
It is truly unfortunate that I have to deal with a prof who discriminates against those registered with SASS. Please rethink your choices before enrolling in her class.
Questionable teaching style... Shows up late to class and takes a 10 min break in the middle of a 1h 20min lecture. Then proceeds to lecture at 2X speed to finish the slideshow. Exams don't reflect practice material, and focuses on rote memorization of EVERYTHING in the slides instead of understanding.
you would this this prof is super chill super nice, until you get fooled when it comes to the exam. The exam was 10 questions, with questions on things we barely studied. She does not take feedback well at all
Do not take her, avoid at all cost. She talks down to her students when asking questions and she makes the midterm about things discussed very little in class (ex. a digram described in a single slide which she reviewed once). She arrives 10 min late and takes breaks instead of taking the time to explain the topic. She speeds through lectures.
Overall just not a good professor.
Claims to want to help students, but does the opposite.
She says she wants to help students as much as she can for midterms, then makes them impossible. Avoid.
Tests are not reflective of material taught. Lectures are rushed and hard to follow.
horrible horrible. made the exam impossible, even if you studied well, you'll fail. shes constantly changing her mind. she says she's making the course stress free, when your main source of stress will be her. this is coming from 9.0 gpa student. SHE DOES NOT RESPOND WELL TO FEEDBACK. and she will gaslight you
Horrible prof, her questions are so so so hard, no matter how hard you study u will do bad, her assignment was so so bad and do not reflect anything
Bad prof
Unorganized, disrespects students.... Do not recommend at all
Very unprepared for class. Is not a proficient teacher, she makes easy concepts hard to understand and often makes errors during lectures. She is not available to answer questions and defers them to the TAs. Makes promises that she does not keep, such as when we will get our midterms back or when she will release extra practice. Very rude, avoid.
I honestly don't know why this professor receives so much hate! She made this class so simple and easy (especially compared to other sections) by providing cheat sheets, options to not take midterms, and providing fairly easy online quizzes at 21% of our grade! She is very personable and has been super nice all of the times I've reached out.
Dr Kozlowki is truly exceptional in her kindness and dedication. She always makes time to meet with students and thoroughly explains complex concepts. There's simple grade boosters collaborative quizzes accounting for 21% of the total. She thoughtfully provides an assignment option to help balance out the midterm grade. Highly recommend her!
Midterms are nothing like what you go over in class. She's a bad lecturer and makes everything hard to understand. Super rude when you reach out to her. Please take with someone else, coming from a 9.9 gpa student.
I don't think I ever took an exam where none of the questions were relevant to the lectures. I knew from the midterm and quizzes that the questions were going to be unnecessarily hard, but this level requires some talent to reach. Maybe 3 questions out of 40 that were in the lectures honestly. Also words concepts so that u can't understand at all.
Take this class if you want to be in the company of a gaslighter. Never have I ever seen a professor lie to students like this. She preaches about understanding the content but then proceeds to test you on the most irrelevant details from the corner of a random slide. She is also notorious for wasting time and talking excessively fast.
Worst teacher I've ever had. Wastes lecture time on mental health breaks and announcements resulting in her rushing through material. Uses slides that look like they were made in 5 mins. Fails to effectively communicate info on slides. Unfair tests. Refuses to regrade. No official textbook. Rude to students. Bad TAs (for grading tests and tutorials
Avoid Professor Kozlowski's classes. Her disrespectful attitude, lack of preparation, and dismissive behavior toward students make them highly undesirable.
horribles TAs. dads weren't reflective of exams at all.
Prof Kozlowski had very unclear expectations for her assessments. She'd say to focus on main things from lectures (which were poorly delivered) and not to worry about memorization, then proceed to ask for the most detail-specific info you wouldn't intuitively study for "understanding over memorization" Avoid her for your sanity!!!
The teacher changes people grades without providing an explanation. DO NOT STUDY for assessment, it is a waste of time, just copy paste all the slides in your memory aid and you will do better than understanding the course. I felt that understanding the content was not helpful during any evaluation, waste of time.
Changes people grades for no reason, waste of time studying assessments. You can do better by copying pasting the slides content on your memory aid sheet than studying and understanding the concepts. The most waste of time, time draining and depressing class that was ever taught. Choose any other teacher DO IT, not worth the mental distress.
Worst teacher I've had, VERY disrespectful. Does not make time for students outside of class. Routinely late to class, takes breaks and ends class early, missing out on 40% of lecture time. Midterm and assignment material is not based on the material she teaches. Expectations very unclear. Disregards needs for fairness between students.
idk what y'all are yapping abt, she made the class extremely easy, ok the midterm was hard but it was only worth 19% while easy quizzes 21% and final so easy. everyone left so early while the other class was struggling with their long final.
Lots of lecture time spent on breaks and starting class late. Takes very long time to provide feedback on exams, though grades come out quick. Pretty easy exams, free bonus marks included on every assessment. Non-cumulative final with a cheat sheet included, very simple compared to the other sections.
Really not the best professor. Takes forever to respond to emails (that's IF you get a response), and is never willing to admit when she's wrong. Make sure to memorize *everything* on the lecture slides. The only upside is that she provides breaks in class, after class and before class to ask questions and gives cheat sheets during assessments
The midterm was definitely one of the hardest midterms that I've done in my life, but the assignment was WAY easier, and the final :) The final free money. Honestly, she's not that bad. Classes are recorded and online. She gives 21% free for quizzes. Like she clutched up on the final ngl.
Flexible grading scheme. You can push the midterm and assignment (hard) to the exam (easy). She allows ANYTHING on your "memory aid" (cheat sheet). Low ratings are likely from those who didn't give the course the attention it deserves(me). I reviewed the provided past exams and did some last-minute studying. I shouldn't have passed, yet I got an A.
definitely an interesting prof, easy quizzes for 21% of marks. Midterm was very hard, you get a cheat sheet (front and back) but it wasnt much help. Final was much much better, very similar to what she posted and you get a cheat sheet (front and back) and was non-cumulative. Everything that was tested on was what she said on the lectures
Hard to follow lectures, terrible slides, terrible time management, most frustrating class I've ever had. Save yourself the headache of figuring out how to study for this class and take it with any other prof. Class average was fairly high (7.3), but because of weird distribution and short exams, the grade feels random and like luck. Labs helped.
I just got off of a meeting with her... at the end of the day the final was fair even easy if you really study (havent gotten my grade back so I might eat my words) minus 1or 2 semi confusing application based questions. Quiz is easy marks if you study. She isnt out to get anyone and is accommodating if you are genuine(I was ill the whole semester)
She wasn't a good teacher. There were too many breaks in the class that could've been used to teach more content. She would read off the slides, then diverge into an unnecessary anecdote. Her exams would include questions based on overlooked comments on her slides and questions requiring a level of insight that we simply didn't get in class.
I haven't actually gotten through the class, but so far, I can say I really despise the way she teaches. Everything she teaches is read off the slides; she never does examples on the boards. I'm a visual learner, but just putting up answers on a slide doesn't really do it for me. It would help to get a step-by-step example.
not the greatest teacher
Rachel's great! She is incredibly understanding, genuine, and passionate about her job, which really positively influences her teaching. I believe she created a welcoming and motivating class environment. Her evaluations are reasonable and directly related to the lecture slides, with no surprises. And her midterm offers a memory aid :)
Avoid this prof if you aren't already good at Chem. She reads directly off her slides and does not explain concepts well, yet expects you to be able to solve problems on the midterm without going through similar practice problems. Her midterms and exam were quite difficult, but if you do well on the assignments your grade will go up.
She is honestly really nice. She gives 21% of the grade for easy quizzes, and she even gives the choice between a midterm and an assignment for 19% of the grade. Midterm was difficult but not mandatory, and she gives a memory aid that you can write ANYTHING on. Some of the reviews don't make sense because she is not a bad prof.
She is a very kind prof in terms of caring about mental health and balancing school which is awesome because most profs don't. She gives a memory aid and the midterm was exactly like the practice ones posted (no surprises), 21% quizzes. The only con is she doesnt really explain concepts that well. She overcomplicates things.
If you can avoid it, DO NOT TAKE this professor. If you value learning and want to leave class without feeling frustrated, steer clear. While the test portion may not be the worst, her teaching methods are extremely ineffective and she is often disrespectful.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF!!!! Her slides are disorganized and useless for reviewing. She struggles to explain concepts but wastes time on basics like converting moles to grams. The midterm was impossibly unrelated to her lessons. She'd go on tangents about coping with losing a loved one using E=mc². Had to self-teach everything. Avoid her at all costs!
Rachel is such a sweet person. I didn't personally enjoy her learning style but her assignment/quizzes were very good to check learning. She also records her lectures and allows for a memory aid on midterm/final. Only thing, is that she doesn't tell you much information about the bigger assessments until the week before (not great for planning!).
Positives: all classes are recorded and live-streamed, great if you don't want to make the travel to campus. Assignment and online quizzes very easy and add up to 40 percent of grade. Negatives: Her tests. Her short answers (often 2 and often half the test mark) are difficult for the reason that's its never on material taught ever, its a trend!
Her lectures are great and if you missed her class, you can just watch the lectures at home. The downside of her, is that her exams are way too far from what she taught. My only tips is to review and solve for the practice midterm/finals papers, it really helped me a ton.
Pros: She does care about the mental health of her students and tries to provide a good balance. Her final exam was very easy. Records and live streams all of her lectures online. Cons: THE MIDTERM WAS RIDICULOUS. Her slides are difficult to follow, and she does not solve problems in class. There is very little practice material.
She's nice and willing to answer questions if you have any. Topics aren't too difficult and relate to grade 12 chem a lot. Lectures are boring and pointless as you have to tech yourself later anyway. Mainly just reads off of slides. You get the choice between a midterm or assignment or you can do both.
Let me begin by saying she is one of the kindest profs I've had first term. However I hope she improves her lectures. She incorporates these 10 minute breaks every lecture for mental health reasons ; meaning for the last 10 minutes of class she rushes through the slides and you don't learn anything! Everyone is packing up their things last minute.
She's accessible outside of class and doesn't deserve the criticism. She's the only 1311 teacher to only give one midterm + it wasn't mandatory. Just avoid it. The final was two chapters, the midterm was like 3 trillion and you'll only have 45mins. She's the one with the lightest workload. The final's easy but the midterm was absolute bs.
She is very nice, but it's hard to keep up with her lectures and if you aren't that good in chemistry, you will get confused. She allows for memory aids on the exams though! My advice: If you decide to go to the lectures, REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL BEFOREHAND!! Don't expect to pass the exams with just your memory aid as well.
She's an extremely nice person and genuinely showed that she cared for your wellbeing with short breaks during the lectures and mental health talk. Her lectures are good although I found she moves quite fast sometimes. Her exams were difficult but fair.
She's incredibly caring and friendly, and will happily explain things to you one on one if you go up to her. There are 3 quizzes in which you get two attempts which is helpful for grade boosting. You have the choice of doing a midterm assignment (easy), exam (hard), or neither and just push the percentage to the final, which I found impossible.
One of the best and easiest chemistry profs. 21% of the grade is online quizzes and the final exam only had content from the last 3 weeks of the course. There was a bonus question on every evaluation and cheat sheets were allowed into the midterm and final. Midterm and assignment were entirely optional. 10 minute break in every lecture.
BEST Prof! Very easy layout as mentioned and final was hard, but not impossible. She records her lectures + gives past exams to study. Best advice is to come to class prepared, focus on learning throughout the semester and ask TAs for help.
Rachel really does care about her students. Her lectures are boring, but contain everything you need to succeed. Do assignment instead of the midterm. If you need help, go to the DGDs or office hours. The course is easy since it is just a review from grade 12, but the exam was tricky. Only reason why my mark wasn't an A+ was because of the labs.
if youre in eng take her
Really bad. The course is unorganized and hard to follow. Rushes through concepts while wasting class time on breaks. Insanely boring content and even worse delivery. One of the worst courses I've had the displeasure of taking.
The most horrible class and prof I've ever had. Her quiz and midterm questions are so difficult and often don't make any sense. She does a horrible job at relaying information and just ends up saying a whole lot of nothing. She honestly doesn't deserve to be teaching this course...
Explains concepts poorly and the amount of irrelevant information on the slide is confusing. Labs are way too much work for a 2nd year course. Her marking scheme is forgiving but I believe that's because she knows that so many students struggle. The connection she is not making is that they are struggling because of her teaching skills. Hard pass.
Slides are packed with irrelevant info, yet evaluations can include anything—no matter how minor. Even a molecule mentioned once might show up. Cheat sheets won't help much; the issue isn't formulas, it's the randomness. You're expected to know everything and anything she shows. Terrible at conveying concepts or evaluating them.
She is very ambiguous and random when it comes to exam q. BUT you can def do well if you study a little and DONT solely rely on a cheat sheet. The cheat sheet is god tier and when i say stuff it full, DO NOT LEAVE A SPOT EMPTY. Literally screenshot slides bc she will ask random stuff. Overall, ok class but lab and quizzes are ez for extra credit.
she goes through the important content wayyy to quick and talks about uneeded things. Final was brutal do the assignment and not the midterm, the only reason I passed lol
Worst prof of all time. she tricks you with her grading scheme and then the problem comes. bad at teaching, very hard tests, unfair grading and you can't even get one extra point with her, doesnt explain anything and explains uneeded things like dopamine and tests you on them.
Honestly, she isn't as bad as some of these comments are suggesting; I didn't do the midterm (heard it was horrible) and did the assignment, which was long, but doable with online access. The quizzes are easy points if you collaborate with others, and you get a cheat sheet for the final, which is non-cumulative.
This person should not be an educator.
Her lectures are incredibly overwhelming, but she is not that bad. She gave an optional midterm and assignment, 3 quizzes that were all open book, and had constant bonus marks with the easiest answers ever (not even tied to biochem, just personal). I would take her again because she isnt that bad. yeah she's tough, but it's slim pickings here
ngl finess the system and take her. literally just flashcard everything and on ur cheatsheet screenshot every slide. i think they curved the final. her questions arent even bch related most of the time. final isnt cumulative
Do NOT take the midterm; it is what the exam should be while the exam is as easy as a midterm. However, be careful on the evaluations because each question makes a pretty big impact on your grade. Her lectures themselves are very un-engaging but she posts all the slides ahead of time so you can study anytime.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. The worst prof I have ever had. She doesn't seem to care at all about her students. Lets you have a cheat sheet but it is honestly useless because she puts things we've never seen before on exams. I feel like I didn't learn anything and that any marks I got were just by chance. Only thing that saved me was Elly Walsh as a TA!
Lecture slides were unnecessarily long with minimal information and explanations. Very limited information and knowledge were retained from lectures.
She's kind and she seems to care about the students. However, her lectures are hard to follow (for me personally) and are somewhat confusing. In my opinion her style of teaching is hard to understand. Assignments/quizzes and whatnot are pretty easy and reasonable, assuming you understand the lecture material.
My favourite professor! Professor Rachel is very intelligent. You would ask her a science-based question and she would end the conversation with you rethinking your life (positively). She focuses on learning concepts and applying them in real life scenarios more that memorizing and knowing the science. Her questions are from her slides. Take her!!
People will study for 5 minutes, bomb the final and then rate 1/5. Rachel is amazing. optional midterm and/or assignment that accounts for 20% and the rest is the final. Questions are taken from her slideshows and the practice exam quiz on brightspace. Easiest final I ever wrote. She also answers questions really well and explains concepts clearly.
I really liked her class she posts everything online including lectures and gives you 20% for two relatively simple quizzes. The midterm wasn't bad at all and if you don't wanna do it you can just do the assignment. The exam was also fine and the mini online exam was very similar. She is one of the nicest profs I've met and the lectures are good.
I don't understand the hate at all; she's a really cheerful teacher and is incredibly helpful and insightful if you ask her questions after class of during office hours. Her final was not even cumulative, had a bonus question, had a cheatsheet, and was quite easy. Kind soul.
As average a chemistry professor as you're gonna get. Nothing good, nothing bad either. If there's another professor available, pick them, but really not that bad.
One of the worst professors I have ever had. She is extremely condescending and disrespectful during her office hours. Her exams are not graded fairly. For example, there are only 20 points on the midterm, so making even 2 or 3 mistakes causes you to lose a significant portion of your grade.
final was much easier than expected, ( only last 3 modules ) but pretty sure i still flunked cus I wasnt as prepared lol. Really sweet prof that cares about students well being, but her teaching style is not for all, especially if you're not good at chem ( me personally I suck ). Overall, not bad!
Rachel is genuinely kind, passionate, and supportive. She teaches with care and makes chemistry feel human. Always encouraging and approachable. The only downside was a rushed midterm: 45 minutes with one long question felt like a gamble. Still, an amazing professor.
Her lectures were kind of boring, but she gave 2 very easy quizzes at the start of the semester, which were 10 percent each. She seems very caring and kind, and replies to emails quite quickly. The final was only on a few modules and was not very hard. She allowed a cheat sheet and gave a bonus question as well.
This prof is super easy to pass. If you are looking to pass with an 60-80, pick it. 25% of your grade is on labs and 20 is on 2 online quizzes that are also very easy. The midterm and the finals are quite difficult and requires a lot of studying since we are given very few information beforehand. Lecture are kinda boring. Don't pick for 85+
Lectures are sometimes boring but overall she's a very nice and caring professor. Midterm and exam are fairly easy and include cheat sheet for both. She also includes bonus questions that allow you to express your thoughts on the course (easy extra marks). She clearly states what's coming on assignments and exams. Would definitely recommend.
Boring lectures that doesnt get you anywhere, had to teach myself everything. DO NOT forget any quiz because missing one is the only reason i got a D+. Beware of her mcqs because they are tricky. I would recommend you do the assignment instead of the midterm just dont be like me and miss part A, missing it got me from an A- to a B-.
She is a nice person but not a great teacher. She often just reads off the slides. Everything is optional exept for 2 easy brightspace quizes. Dont take the midterm and do the assignment. The final was not that hard. The class is easy to do well in but I feel like I didn't learn anything. Decent option if its the only chem class your need to take.
Prof Rachel is nice and very approachable, chem is tough and boring at times however thats not her fault because its just the course itself, I would recommend doing the assignment over the midterm as people have mentioned its harder however for the final make sure to do the practice quizes she posts on brightspace because its helps a lot
Dr. Kozlowski is a very kind and caring professor. She puts a big emphasis on mental health and provides a break every lecture. As for grading, we were graded by few things: 2 quizzes weighed at 20%, the midterm OR a midterm assignment, and the final exam. I would recommend doing the midterm assignment instead of the midterm. Final exam was fair!
Don't understand the hate. I loved the layout of the course and the fact that you could just do a project instead of the midterm. It's a bit hard to follow her explaining if you are not familiar with the material from hs, but shed be happy to help you in office hours loved her class overall. Heard less horror stories with her than with Rashmi.
