Winter 2025 - I really recommend taking her class! She's a really sweet professor, often telling us funny stories about herself and her daughter. This class does not have much homework and she is an easy grader. There are quizzes that are slightly hard but they are online. Attendance and participation matter, but she creates a safe space where it is easy to participate. I had a small class of around 8 people so it was easy making friends with all of my classmates. There are a few essays but she gives feedback before the deadline so it is less stressful. There was an 8 minute presentation at the end of the quarter but it could be recorded or presented live. She also brought in a guest lecturer once so that was really cool. No matter if you join her 105B class or not, she hosts a karaoke party at the end of Spring Quarter and invites everybody from 105A and 105B to join.
