This class is unnecessarily hard because Professor Lafrenz-Samuels is so afraid of AI. We have two long, difficult-to-understand readings every week, where we are required to leave at least three thoughtful comments and then we have a graded Kahoot on each reading. The comments are graded very harshly, and barely anyone gets full points while no feedback is given on how to improve. The kahoots are supposed to be about your individual understanding of the readings, but she picks the most random details out of the 30-page readings that are impossible to remember. When the whole class emailed her individually, expressing their concerns about the Kahoots and readings, she responded rudely to each email, telling them to go to office hours to get help rather than address any of their concerns. Her lectures are so boring and cover random topics that are sometimes completely unrelated to the readings. She has not graded anything in weeks, so we have no idea if we are improving or doing just as badly as we all were at the start. Do not take this class with this professor if you do not have to.
