Really nice and well-meaning professor but very new to the University of Maryland and understandably still adjusting. Lesson plans were well structured to begin with (daily handouts before class that tied closely to assigned readings) however it felt like you had to learn it all on your own as there was a lack of focus when she taught the actual lectures. I'm sure with time there will be more clarity however with our one in-person midterm everyone left the test wildly confused as the content we were directed to study was almost nowhere to be found, and there were questions worth 5-10 points based on random topics briefly went over once. Understanding and chill professor, make sure you take notes during class discussions to understand from your group if you were confused on a reading as it might be easier than asking her directly. |

sweet lady, knows her stuff. she can ramble a lot in lectures, but she is very knowledgable and it helps because it is always about the topic. for a seminar class, you'll have to talk in groups every class about the handout questions, but i wish there was more class conversation. Also, the midterm was really bullshit and hard, but she reflected and realized that so it should be better next semester. That being said, the midterm is the only worrying assignment, everything else is chill. |

Easy class, chill prof. Only pain is showing up (20% of grade). |
