Most Helpful Review
Information Access was confusing, ineffective, and just plain frustrating. The assignments were loaded all at the end of class (even if you do the workbooks ahead of time, or through the quarter, it's still ridiculous at the end) which makes for a stressful finals period. While the guest speakers were interesting, she shouldn't rely on them to fill up class time.
