Awesome
As a freshman I took this class, it was difficult, and lecture heavy, however she makes it extremely indulging. She goes the extra mile to make sure her students excel. She even sends links to articles if she comes across one that relates to the topic of your project, which speaks highly. Ask for assistance during business hours and she will help you a lot.
