She explains pretty well. But the reason why so many people don't like her is because she does not curve. Well, from my view, she should give a 10 to 15 point curve on each exam, that way just encourage students don't give up, and continue do their best.

This is one tough math professor. Yes, she is slightly friendly, however, she does not teach properly in the class room. Even if you attempt to teach yourself... it's her method or no method at all.

She's a little friendly but can also be kind of rude. I think she teaches pretty clear, but can still be ambiguous and iffy sometimes, even when students ask a question. If you want to take her, make sure you do at least some of each homework she gives (since she gives a ton), or else her tests will be pretty much impossible.
