Fall 2020 - I had her as a TA and she is royally unhelpful and not clear at all in class. She grades everything astronomically hard for no reason. She takes off points for every little citation error you have including one apostrophe being in a different font or a comma in the wrong space. None of the other TA's did this and all of her comments are unhelpful and confusing. She has terrible wifi connection and nothing interesting or insightful to say during class. You can literally not pay attention to what she has to say and be fine, except for the fact that she's grading extremely hard on your grammar and citations and treating it like its a writing II class. She doesn't understand basic syntax and grammar and will grade you subjectively on your sentence structure. If you think you're a good writer she will make you feel like you're terrible. Don't take this class if you have her as a TA. Or switch sections early. Seriously you don't want to deal with her. Don't do it to yourself.
