The course is kind of fast and there is a lot of material to be learned. She teaches in a fast pace, but if you pay attention and take good notes, you'll do great. She tries to teach a more simple way to do some problems which makes solving them a lot easier. Try to miss a session because you'll easily fall behind. Overall, she's a good teacher.

Don't take this class. You'll spend 4 hours on one homework assignment simply because you HAVE to get 90% of 30 questions correct. And the program that she MAKES you purchase decides that even though your answer is equal to the right answer that it doesn't like your answer. Just stay away.

This online class is terrible; the material on the required program is often different (and harder) from the book; it also scores a lot of correct answers incorrect, but the grade you get stands no matter what, resulting in much lower grades even if you know the material.

This class was all online and had no online meetings. The homework was alright. There were three main tests through out the corse and 2-3 assigned homeworks with around 10-16 math questions each week. The final exam was hard and if you did not get a good grade on it even if you have an A in the class you fail the class either way.

I wouldn't take her class again. The class has no support other than the pearson website which is an awful learning platform. The pearson website where you do everything is answer sensitive, if your off by one number your getting the whole question wrong. There are no resources to help you in canvas either, your basically teaching your self.

I usually struggle with math but the way this course was set up set me up for success! Practice exams and the final are the exact same format as the actual exams. There is alot of homework, you dont have time to procrastinate on it or you will fall behind. Strongly recommend, easy A!

Lots of homework given, easy to fall behind if you don't keep on track. Practice tests and practice final were very similar to actual tests. Unlimited attempts on practice tests, really helped get good grades on actual tests. Easy to follow explanations on homework assignments when additional help is needed.

Lots of homework, going to the lectures is kind of necessary if you are not good at math, she does have an accent, so be prepared for that, it's not that hard to understand her thoughts if you are actively paying attention. Practice tests are very similar to the real tests. Overall would take it again. She is nice though and if you try you'll pass.

Participation matters

This class is great if you grasp math. Some people will absolutely fail in this class without someone right there for questions. She accepts emails and responses in a timely manner. You have around 6 assignments, 1 test, 8 assignments, 1 test, 8 assignments, 1 test, then the final. You WILL have to go to testing center and book WEEKS in advance.
