Yeah she seems pretty nice to me too. She's definately a morning person, and she's always smiling. I suppose since she usually teaches the lab, GN 412, that she deals with alot of kinds of students, including lazy ones that don't like to do lab work. I've been a TA although not for this course obviously and I can definately understand why teaching a lecture and teaching a lab can be different.

That being said, I've heard that this course takes a huge step up in difficulty after the first test. If she's genuinely nice, it'll last all month long...if not, we will probably know by next week.

It's all a matter of taste.

Gardner is picky - know your stuff - and the class gets harder after the first test regardless of who you have for it.

I personally loved having Gardner for the lab and would have loved to have her for 411 itself.
