Hands down best online professor Ive had + the subject being math! Took in a 6 week mini.. Work was basically all done on my math lab, 5 exams at the testing center. Take the optional practice exams and study those because they are almost identical as the exam! That will help you get a good grade in the class! Also do all the homework ��
