Clearly cares a lot about philosophy & her students. Entirely discussion-based classes, leaves concepts clear but details blurry (annoying bc she’s an extremely nit-picky grader). Hella reading, cold calls, hard to fail but also hard to get an A. It might be true that she pre-determines your grade.
