  • Honestly, I would have liked the course more if 75% of your grade was NOT dependent on TESTING!! This professor is an incredibly hard marker, and shows no leniency towards absences (even religious ones!). I felt as though whenever I approached the professor in regards to issues in grades I have received, I was always met with passive aggressiveness. I felt like I had no room for improvement and at the end of the term I DREADED going to class and receiving grades back, since they never seemed to be what I tried my hardest for. Her grading is unrealistic and I just found it to be difficult due to this.
