Prof. Owens is an extremely hard worker. For every paper, she does workshops in her classes. She goes in depth with advice and she is always willing to help even during office hours. She is responsive to emails as well. With her, what you see is what you get. Projects are fair enough and will actually challenge the students to improve and learn.
