Preston is a good professor overall, but one of my main complaints is her tendency to be very difficult with her grading. I think she believes that grades today are inflated (which they are); so as a result she still clings to the thought that an average student should get a C. That may be true traditionally, but a C does not mean average anymore. It took so much work to earn even a B in her class. You'll learn a lot, but be prepared for a lot of extra work without a lot of reward in the end.
Positive:
Good professor.

I am Female and I think she is a feminist, is close minded, and is politically driven. She has her way or the highway. Pretty Lame.
