Namala is awesome. She is really funny and is straight forward about the information she gives. She also doesn't overload you with a bunch of work. She talks kind of funny but you get use to it after a while. Her seminar was just some reading and three papers that she basically wrote the outline for you. She is also really nice. She is pretty knowledgeable but there are times when she doesn't really know how to answer your question but she is always willing to look it up and get back to you. I would suggest taking her class. It was rewarding for me.
