Spring 2023 - Professor Luft is very unaccommodating. If you miss class and miss an in-class assignment, she won't let you make it up. Her midterm was unrealistic with the time constraint. She wanted us to complete three bullet point questions, a few true and false questions, and a short response within an hour and fifteen minutes. She refused to give us a study guide for the exam. I only passed this class because 60% of it was participation and the midterm was only 20% of the grade. Would not recommend taking any classes that she teaches.
