Highly, highly, HIGHLY! Recommend you take any professor but her. Unless you enjoy being in a class where you're expected to know everything already. Gives so many unnecessary assignments. If you struggle with math already, do NOT take her.

Lots of homework
So many papers

She is an amazing teacher that makes an already extremely easy class all the easier. She will do everything she can to help you understand and succeed. If you think shes a hard teacher or this is a hard class, you really should rethink going to college as this is Middle school material that she is spoon feeding you.
