Fall 2021 - Reilly was kinda inconsistent this quarter. She's usually known for being super responsive and quick to update students with any changes, but this quarter seemed to be the opposite. Replying to most messages at the end of the week all at once with an update email, delaying deadlines (which was not necessarily a bad thing, just added onto the inconsistency), and having the class weighed heavily on the final. Again, this is a lab class so a majority of the points were TA dependent, but the labs were definitely forgiving. However, having 40% of your grade depending on the final seemed pretty unreasonable, considering that there is no midterm to bump it up and many were calling for an online exam. Class was good but could've been much better.
