Average

The course itself is super easy, but Professor Fleming really needs to step up her game. She always forgets to open the assignments for us to do, and when you contact her about it, she is incredibly slow at responding. She is also extremely slow at grading the assignments.

Poor

Professor Fleming's online class is very easy. I had no issues with any of the assignments or tests, because they were all easy. For this class, you'll definitely need a handbook because the assignments or tests are strongly based on the information it contains. She's a bit crap though and often forgot to open assignments. She never responds to emails either.
