Awesome
Professor Farmer is the best professor I have had in my college career. I highly recommend her. It does not get more professional than Dr Farmer. He is super smart but as down to earth as no other professor. She goes on weird and funny rants at beginning of classes. Also she teaches in many ways: lectures, videos, groups, take home stuff, essays, and handouts.
