Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was by far the worst class I have ever taken at IU. The amount of group work this professor requires in an ONLINE class is unbelievable. Not to mention she takes forever to get grades back. The only positive thing about this class is that she responds to emails fairly quickly... But be ready to email her for clarification on EVERYTHING.

Worst professor ever! Be prepared to contact her to clarify almost every assignment. There were 2.5 hour mandatory Zoom meetings, multiple projects and papers. All of which takes up until the last week of the semester to grade; assignments from September have yet to be graded. I recommend finding a different professor to teach this course!

350 characters are not nearly enough to explain how terrible this professor is. Get ready for shifting deadlines, lots of group work and inconsistent grading. Also she is a very slow grader, some assignments she can take up to a month to grade. (But you better not miss a deadline.) I felt there is a lot of pointless "busy work" as well.

This professor over do it in a negative way. She does not grade on time. In discussion, you have to comment on everyone post literally. Follow the rubric word by word.

Worst course experience I've ever had. Unclear assignment descriptions, spacing out of assignments doesn't make sense. The point total relative to the amount of work for many assignments doesn't correlate and doesn't seem to be grounded in much. Very slow getting assignments back to you with little feedback.
