I completely understand where other reviewers are coming from because at first, I had a bit of a hard time (1 or 2 classes). She's a really knowledgeable professor - she gives you everything in her lectures to arm you for the papers you need to write. The caveat is - you really need to go to her lectures. Her lectures are dense - laptop for note-taking highly recommended. I don't know for a fact, but I suspect Professor Sissa is pretty highly regarded in her field - I was pretty impressed with her. I learned to really appreciate her style and am doing an independent study with her as adviser next term.
