She is a very sweet woman who is very well versed and loves her subject, although she is very difficult to follow and gives a lot of information that is not needed. If it is important information she will usually repeat it many times, which is nice. I got an A in the class which is definitely not that difficult to do, just do the reading for the quizzes and make sure you go into her office hours for your papers so she can tell you all the specifics she wants. If you don't she will take off a lot of points to "get your attention" for things like not italicizing Chinese words or not making a thought-out title.
