 We would get off topic easily. The lectures were kept pretty basic, yes she did interject in student discussions but only to produce a meaningful discussion and helped stay on topic when in discussion mode. She is very easy going.

 Pros: Interesting class discussions
Cons: Interrupts students, shuts downs students opinions, biased presentation of teaching.
While this was an easy course, I couldn't stand it just because of the professor. She tried to teach objectively but you could tell she had biases. She also wanted students in class to talk and have discussions but if you did not agree with her side of things she would interrupt and outright tell you that you were wrong (for your opinion).
