She has a good since of humor. I know it is unusual but she actually cares if her students do good in her class. We need more teachers like her in this world.

She doesn't assume you know, and WON'T make your life misserable if for any reason you don´t know; instead, she will explain. Her tests are simple and straight forward for the most. However, too little time is given to take your test, and that may bring your grades down. Still, she's a very good teacher.
