Oh man, this was easy. You do have to know how to actually do the math, but she'll answer any question, doesn't trick or surprise you on tests and tries to explain it as simply as possible. She pretty much holds your hand and explains until you get it, and anything on the test she'll have gone over beforehand. Almost always lets you out early too.

I've got only A's in her class; however, when I took the exit exam I didn't do so well because it was much harder than her tests. So if you are good at math take someone tougher.

She gives partial credit for wrong answers on tests: if you did half the problem right you get half credit. Easy A and a good class to brush up on your skills, but I pity the people who are actually trying to learn new material from her. If multiple higher math classes are in your future, take someone else. They'll be harder but you'll be prepared.
