Wonderful professor! Her lectures are VERY clear. She's always willing to give help in her office hours. If you perform poorly on a test, you have the opportunity to retake it in her office hours. She is clear, concise, and kind. Also a bit funny. She has a small accent and braces but it didn't hinder the class at all!

I took her for Math for Liberal Arts 1, attendance isn't mandatory, however, she does do random iclickers which go towards your grade at the end but they're not even math questions most of the time. Four exams, online homework, and an extra credit assignment worth 10 points towards the final. Super sweet and helpful, definitely recommend her.

Uses mymathlab for assignments. The class was fully online, attendance not mandatory. Must get an A on all the assignments because the next assignment wont open until all work is completed. Pretty easy A if you do your work. Quiz every week with lockdown browser but no webcam. She makes the class easy and sends reminders about the work thats due.
