She's a really good professor, makes math way easier. The lectures in class are pretty much identical to the hw/quizzes. As for the exams, I would recommend to complete the study guide as it is basically identical to the exams. If you excel in class, you can skip the final exam! Overall a really awesome professor!

I loved her! I do not like math but she made the material very easy to understand and will go over things you don't understand in a kind manner, she never had an attitude. If you do your work, it is impossible to fail.
