Experience based on online. The class is almost completely asynchronous, and lectures being labelled as minimal is an overstatement.

If you are someone who enjoys reading and writing naturally, then you'd be fine in her class. If you've been told you have reading comprehension problem or can never produce good essays, steer away. To succeed in her philosophy classes you need to engage in active reading and have above average writing skills. But as long as you put in the work you wouldn't fail even if reading and writing aren't your strength.

The teacher is very very traditional in her ways of teaching. That is to say don't reply on electronic devises in her class as replacement of books. Reply as much on your independent thinking as her lectures, she won't just straight out tell you what everything means.
