Winter 2025 - Prof. Streeter is extremely confusing and unclear for her expectations of her students. She is clear about assignments, but she doesn't really explain what she wants, making her a tough grader because we aren't meeting her needs. She is also a very slow grader. She said she would post our grades in the classes to give us an idea if we need to do extra credit assignments to save our grades, but never did that. She was extremely vague about the final paper assignment and a lot of students feel unsure about whether or not they are doing well in the class - could be failing or doing well, we have no clue. She is great about office hours and talking to her one on one, but overall misleading. The lectures are boring, so take this class if you're okay with that. I would rate this class a 3.5/10 honestly.
