Just because her tests are not run of the mill multiple choice exams does not mean her class is impossibly difficult. She tells you exactly what to expect and has excellent discussions in class about the material. Class participation made this class, she should make it part of the grade. Oh well. She is still a great lecturer who really knows her stuff very well. If you are looking for an easy A, this is not it; if you are looking to learn a lot and are willing to actively listen, this is the professor to sign up with.
