Very good teacher. She has some nuerotic tendencies but she is a good teacher. She gives a quiz before the test which is just home work. Do your home work or else! you will get lost when it comes to tests. Stay up on home work and redo your tests. Very much like a high school teacher.

She's a fantastic professor who really cares about students and how they're doing in the class, explains the material in a clear and concise manner and is just a super sweet, funny, and nice person all around. A word to narrow down her personality and teaching style would be "motherly." And I mean that in the BEST possible way. Take her!

She's so cool! She's passionate about the subject, and it makes her class interesting. She cares for her students and truly wants you to learn. She gives out practice tests that are exactly like the test which she goes over right before the test so it's fresh in your memory. Final is accumulative but if you study you'll do fine.

She is a good professor but she talks to the class like if we were little kids from first grade, it's so annoying. It takes about a whole class to finish one hand-out (1-1:30 hrs). She does everything herself and explains on a projector and never lets us work on our own or in pairs. If you like math this class will be absoulltly boring for you.
