Attendance was required, but she wasn't very good about taking it. Very helpful. If you did your homework on time and paid attention in class you got an A. Very easy. She sometimes had a hard time controlling the class. But it was her first class ever...so she's bound to get better. Definitely recommend.

She doesn't come to class prepared, students are constantly correcting her math, she doesn't show steps because she just shows us how she does the math which isn't fair considering that we don't have the same foundations. Her class consists of her reviewing powerpoint slides from the online book which she doesn't review on her own before class

No good! Shows you what to do, but doesn't explain how or why. So if you don't understand your screwed. Really weird mood in the classroom, like a tension. If you were at a BBQ trying to act normal and eat, but your Dad had gotten into a fist fight with a couple uncles earlier, so everyone was quiet and uneasy, that what the setting is like.

This teacher was easy until the tests. The tests were so hard towards the end. She offers extra credit but it doesn't go toward the tests section.

With the online format, she was not heavily involved in the teaching process, which is not an particular issue.
