Layal is one of the few genuine instructors I had the honour of meeting. I am so happy she was my instructor for GCM810 over the summer, such a nice woman, very likeable. I would love to take more classes with her in the future.

Layal is the sweet prof and really want her student to achieve the high grade. She usually breaks the 3 hours lecture class into one-hour half lecture and one-hour half activity. The grade of the course is only based on 3 papers which contain 10 questions based on the readings and the experiences of the weekly activity.

Professor Shuman is really caring and just wants you to succeed in her classes. If you have any questions on the assignments, she's quick to give you an answer and help you out. Also, she gives great feedback on some of your rough work, which can help you improve you assignments. Make sure to follow all grading criteria and you're set.

Layal is an wonderfully kind and passionate professor, but IMO her style of teaching has not translated well to online school. Discussion-based learning just isn't as effective in a class where nobody wants to turn on their mics. No tests, just reading responses and other small assignments. Pretty easy but each one takes time to complete.
