The amount of work is insane. Participate often in class because she will give better grades to students that she likes.

Know someone from that took her class before. Otherwise you're going to be really confused on how to do the work.

I honestly had a bad time with her. She tells you what to do but never explains how to do it. So you're just left to interpret it on your own and she punishes you for it because "it's not the way it's supposed to be done". Forget everything you know about MLA citations because to her all of it is wrong. You will never win in this class and you will have a terrible experience. Drop her as soon as you find out you have her.
