Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The professor was very caring and made time for her students. Interesting lectures.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Goes through lectures extremely quick and gets visibly annoyed when students ask questions. Reads from slides and textbook but speaks too fast to write any concrete notes. Every second class was a guest lecture. Easy enough to get a good grade, but would avoid if possible. Half the classroom was empty after the first two weeks.

Prof. Louw is not bad. But the material can be redundant. To do well on the exam, focus on her lectures and just flush it out with the textbook. There are two group papers with good enough instructions which are fairly marked. Exams are mostly MC and few short answers - be specific on the short answer.

The class itself is interesting, but her presentation on the material can be redundant and dry. Many students had a hard time getting her to answer questions in class, she seemed rushed and unprepared. The exam questions are all over the place, with the final being heavy on long answer format. One thing I liked were the many inspirational guests
