She might seem a bit intimidating at first, given how she expects new 8th graders to handle assignments in a way that might seem alien to them, as long you nail down critical thinking and other text-analysis techniques then her class is a breeze. She might assign a lot of homework but these take no more than an hour each night. She's also super willing to help out if you have a problem with something (she'll sometimes just straight-up give you the answer to a question if you ask nice enough) Overall, she might seem intimidating, but if you do what she says and ask questions, then her class is no more troubling than the next.
