Spring 2017 - Stay clear from this profesor. She is very deceitful. She intentionally miscalculated my grade and refused to fix it. In addition, she’s incredibly arrogant, with a genuinely terrible attitude towards students. I would avoid her; she, simply put, thinks to highly of herself for her class to be enjoyable.
