Very sweet lady but I would not recommend her for 497. Her grading is very harsh and she does not provide substantive comments in why she takes points off or offer opportunities to increase your grade. She also demands a lot for the assignments i.e requiring a PDF of all the articles after submitting the final thesis. Additionally, our final presentation would have to be 20 minutes hard but discussing with other peers in different classes, theirs would only be 10-15 minutes. We also would be in class for the full 2 hours and 30 minutes but she would often just read slides and make us do a partner activity which wouldn't be counted towards a grade. As a graduating senior I would not suggest taking her for 497 if you want a relaxed final semester.
