Awful
Professor O'Brien did horribly in this FS course in the Fall of 2019. She had some external issues so she canceled about eight classes and then gave us six assignments at the end of the semester. Unless you're a perfect writer, you got less than a B. Sometimes, she was also a real jerk for no reason. Perhaps she is better for her Geology, not for the FS.
