Always fair, constructive, and supportive. Her teaching approach is to have students teach themselves and their peers. Lots of in-class student-led discussions, but not much lecturer assistance during lecture sessions (some level of aid provided during tutorials). The best help you’ll receive from her is during office hours, but don’t go unprepared with knowledge and to ask questions or it’ll be futile.
