Good
There are a lot of comments about "if she doesn't like you, she won't give you good marks." However, the truth is that if you show up, participate, and pay attention, her class will be an easy A. Just be a good student and your grade will reflect that. She is a sweet and understanding professor.

Voices from the Past: A History of North Roe
Shetland Times Publishing
In 2001, a young woman stood at a ship’s rails watching the low-lying Shetland Islands come into view. Over one hundred years had passed since her great-grandfather, Peter Inkster, then a young man, had stood watching these same isles recede into the distance as he ventured to start a new life in Western Canada. In the latter years of his life, this same Peter returned to his native islands. He kept a diary of his thoughts and childhood memories which gave an intimate glimpse of his isolated home village at he end of the 19th century. Nearly fifty years after Peter’s death, his great-granddaughter has combined extensive research with his written recollections to create a unique vignette of the lives of the ordinary people of North Roe who, at the mercy of the weather and the landlord, struggled to survive at the edge of sea.
