Fall 2025 - OKAY, here's a super honest review. Her formatting of exams is all over the place. You have one midterm that is closed closed-note, and you will be proctored (the same case for the final). She arranged the final and a group project literally in the same week, which was really annoying and took a significant amount of time to study for. This class is a lot of work, but I will say I never paid attention to any of her lectures and just solely read the book and got an A plus. She does get mood swings where she is super angry at students because she thinks they are using Chat GPT LOL. Overall, though, if you study hard and read the book, you should do well. Make sure, though, you either come to class in person or via Zoom bc she does scan QR codes that will hurt your grade. I never came to class and went on Zoom, so take that information as you please.

Spring 2024 - I didn’t really love this class or the teaching style of the professor. Every lecture was just her talking next to slides with no engagement from the class - she goes really fast and doesn’t explain things very well. She was accommodating given what was going on during the quarter (made attendance optional and lowered some requirements) but I didn’t think she was very engaging as a lecturer. I wouldn’t take her again, but I would say she’s alright if you’re considering her class.
