I had her for the Honors Thesis. Like the past review, I was optimistic. I am on track to graduate Summa Cum Laude so I thought I could take her on. She is probably the most rude, unprofessional professor I have ever encountered. I am thinking of dropping the Honor's Thesis because I don't want to deal with her for a whole year. DO NOT TAKE BEREND!
