I took her for WS10 in Spring 2010. The class is extremely easy TRUST. She is a little intimidating during lectures (there was once an argument about condoms...) but other than that she basically gives you a review/lecture on whats going to be on the midterm/final beforehand (literally she goes over the study guide step by step). Her lectures are extremely interesting and really made us think. I felt like I really learned from her lectures. I would try getting or buying the old midterms and essays because it was the same from the years before (hence A!). You should buy the book and the coursereader because thats what discussion is all about and she does ask you for citations. Try to get Freda as your TA, SHES AWESOME!
