She takes notes with you, which is super helpful and easy to follow along. There is homework but she never assigns something you havent covered in class. Gives LOTS of extra credit for attendance. There is a quiz every Monday only two questions. She gives tons of partial credit. If she can tell you gave the effort, you will be rewarded.

Attendance is mandatory because she uses Top Hat and records your responses as grades for each class day. Honestly though, she does a super good job explaining everything and is straight to the point.

I'm not the greatest at math, but she explains in great detail with thorough explanation. She does teach at a fast pace, but that is just because there is a lot of material. Three tests make up the bulk of your grade, so it is imperative to do well on them, but there is a project that could replace your lowest test, which will boost your grade.

She would rush topics and try to cram multiple into one lecture period. When doing TopHat questions, she would not give us enough time, rushing through each problem. She wanted us to succeed and was sometimes funny, but would give us so much to remember that we would forget, and then be passive-aggressive about the class not answering later.
