Fall 2021 - Professor Desi is an amazing lecturer, she is very unreliable. She cancels more classes than she holds (she will inform us one minute before the lecture - no exaggeration) and she will post the recording several days later. However, my biggest problem was that even though she canceled class frequently she was not apologetic about it and expected us to keep up with watching the lengthy lectures. She also is not very transparent with the format of the mid-term and gave us insufficient time to complete the lengthy multiple-choice and “short” answer questions. Furthermore, the mid-term had several important questions on a lecture that she had posted a day before the exam. DO NOT trust anything she says, she will post the lecture, essay prompt, grades, etc several days after promised and will not make any accommodations for those who were unable to catch up with the work she posted late. While I do agree that Professor Desi is very good at getting her point across during the lectures (which I personally found engaging and insightful) she is the most unreliable professor I have come across. BEWARE: the exams will be much harder than anticipated and content that our TAs confirmed will not be tested was tested (supplementary reading) which may be a result of her not being communicative with the TAs.
