Homework isn't hard, but it is a lot. However, her teaching strategies are not the best. The way she explains things can be somewhat hard to understand because of her heavy accent but also because she simply isn't good at helping you understand the concept. She is nice and she does drop your lowest score to help you. Also don't miss class or drop.
