she's not bad, but she has a bad habit of changing numbers in the middle of explaining how to work through it. she gives about 10-20 problems in book for hw along with 10-20 problems online. sometimes it interferes with other classes, other than that, she's very nice and helpful IF you ask for her help.

She is kind of any easy teacher but you can't understand what she is saying sometimes. She also gives way to much homework and you have to do it because her quiz comes from the book H.W. and you can't use your book during the quiz which means you have to write the problems when you do your H.W. Overall easy teacher but gives too much work.

All my classmates come up to me during her lectures and i just tutor cause she goes to fast.

DO NOT take her! She's a very tough grader and unfair in my opionion because in tests you have to show all of yourwork. If the answer is right but you get a number wrong while showing your work she will count the question wrong! in order to get the question correct everything has to be perfect. theres no guessing.
