Awesome
Prof. Dana is amazing. I learned a lot from her about research and writing. She grades all the assignments and she's a tough grader, but she gives lots of extra credit. She's very responsive and she's willing to meet with me when I needed help with my paper. Attendance is mandatory, but don't worry because activities are interesting.
