Fall 2020 - Took her Latin American Film + Lit class and the workload was fairly easy, just weekly assignments and two papers (one midterm, one final). She was flexible when it came to weekly assignments especially during online classes, not to mention really understanding, kind, and helpful! Take her if you can and you won't regret it!
