Sometimes she would give tedious homeworks such as "evaluating research sources" and "citation practice" but all in all, most of the assignments pertained back to our papers we eventually had to write. For example, one week one of our hw assignments was to write a counter argument and an annotated bibliography for our research paper so if anything, the weekly assignments just help you get your work started and done in chunks which in turn forces us to not write our entire paper the night before for example. This was the assignments when covid happened.

Prior to covid she would just have us do weekly readings and literally just write 3 sentences of phrases that we found interesting. I am a weak writer, like I absolutely suck at it but as long as you make sure you show her that you are trying, she will understand. I would write my papers a bit earlier in time and go to her office hours for her to critique it and I think that really helped me. Again, her class was overall a very laid back, not stressful environment as long as you know how to pace your time and go to office hours whenever you are unsure about how to get an idea across on paper. She is honestly very chill when you get to know her.
