I took the Human Aging cluster, and although she only teaches about a third of the class, I would definitely not take this class. I dropped out after the first quarter. There are only two exams that are graded on a curve, but they were pretty difficult and the average was about a 70%. And they don't exactly mention in the course description that the next quarter you will be required to volunteer at an old persons home or something like it which takes up 5 hours once a week. And then the next quarter there is a research paper. So although your writing 2 will be done, it's a lot of work for a pretty boring and difficult topic.
