Summer 2020 - She has a sloppy syllabus and no rubric or feedback on exams and assignments. You don't know what you're expecting and she gives you a random grade without telling you what you did wrong, nor there was a rubric beforehand. She is very inconsiderate of students during this pandemic and when students try to communicate to her as a class, she never replies or sticks to her original plan with no consideration after many students talk to her about the course in lecture. The only thing she improved was giving more time for the final, but that doesn't really make a difference since she chose to omit the study guide (which was included in the midterm), and no rubric for the final. If students request something from her and she changed it, she would make other parts of the course harder or more confusing so she can grade harder. Also, the quiz questions does not reflect the readings we did. We could simply command+F and find it in the PDF. Reading beforehand does nothing as she doesn't put effort in constructing quiz questions. Command+F will get you a higher score than reading the assignments. :)
