Pay attention in class, participate in discussions, the class is fairly easy, she grades average, stay on top of the game from the beginning. She might have favorites so be engaging. Overall not a hard class

The class was fun, interesting and interactive! There were 3 movies to watch and we had to choose one for a written essay. The oral presentation was to introduce a traditional dish from your culture and have a dégustation. The tests are sort of tricky since they are multiple choices ending with a long answer question as a bonus question. I recommend this class (can't remember the name but the class is about food and it's English 103)!

Don't sleep, don't talk, don't play with your phone, don't be late and certainly don't miss class. She's nice but not exactly understanding?? I can't quite describe but see for yourself. Her grading is fair but also sometimes strict. Take picture of the slides if you want to take notes because there will be lots of writing. I recommend her classes because they are interesting but if you're searching for an easy grader then she's not the teacher for you. Have fun.
