Sarah Croco HGLO208 Expecting an A Anonymous 09/17/2024	Professor Croco is a nice person who does know her field and care about her students. However, after three semesters with her it is easy to see some striking flaws in the way she structures courses and teaches. First off, every course she teaches she assigns at least eight different books. Usually only one book is actually used in the course, typically only because you have to write about it. Secondly, all of her courses are loaded up with small to medium sized assignments that annoying to do, easy to forget, and have no relevance to the material. Typically with her classes the R assignments are what actually holds any decent amount of weight on your grade. This turns any of her classes into a race to learn R rather than learning any material. Learning R is also a challenge for anyone regardless of previous experience as you must use packages that require you to learn them rather than the language. Additionally, you will not receive any concrete teaching in R beyond the bear minimum meaning that most of your time within assignments will be spent learning R from someone who knows better or from the internet/AI. Overall it is easy to obtain a good grade, you need to do the work with ok quality, but it is a lot of work.
