Hard tests. Easy to cheat. If your TA stinks, you'll do bad

go to her for help(extra points),will do well if had calc before,accent not bad

Tough class if you never took Calc before, but good dedicated teacher. TA's suck

Go to class, pay attention. Copy down examples she does in class(go on exam)

Very dedicated, clear, and intelligent. Pay attention and go to class

Study class notes b/c she gives the test questions in class examples.

take a week to understand her...you must study and know material!!!

I love this lady, I want her to bear my children!

very nice, if uve never had calculus u prob wont do well, try to get a good ta

Excellent. She is the best teacher I've ever had. Just go to class and listen.

very nice prof. wants students to do well in her class. tests from notes.

makes sure you understand, tests easy some q's from hw, very nice

Piece of cake if you

Great professor, go to class

many tests ?'s come from blue book, homework, and notes

Class is so easy if you do the work and she's so nice...

get used to her accent, then isn't so bad - just speak up if don't understand

accent is pretty cool once you get used to it, interesting, good teacher

Great teacher easy tests accent isnt too bad go to class and youll be fine

Good teacher. A real character.

Best professor to get for this class, easier if you took calc in high school!

Nice lady, very sweet, material extremely difficult if you haven't had calc

She's awesome, goofy, easy if you took calc in HS, good professor

very nice lady, good class

very nice, wait till she says rectanglies!! shes funny

AWESOME; never took calc b4 got A; really knows what she's teaching; so nice

very caring..funny..and a wonderful person..class is semi easy

great teacher, difficult class, get the old tests you will do fine.

Cares about every student, went from a D- to B, reuses problems from test and HW

Cares about students

HARD TO UNDERSTAND...ACCENT!! MUST TAKE CALC BEFORE!! EASY QUIZES, HARD TESTS!

You have to be stupid not to get an A. Quite possibly the easiest course at UD.

Isn't gr8 at answering questions. Do HW 2 nail quizzes.Go 2 class and u'll get A

Need calc in HS, hard test,extremely helpful, tutors, made sure i passed, nice

VERY NICE! If you ask ?'s & pay attention class is easy!

She really cares about her students. She's an amazing teacher who is very willing to help. It's easier if you have taken calc before. Stronly recommend!!

If you TRY you will get a good grade,vry helpful! Don't goof off and you'll understand her accent!

Very nice teacher, and easy to understand once you get past the accent. Beware of TA's (Debasish is a moron with impossible quizzes) Her tests are impossible to fail (Multiple Choice)

No Comments

Pshhh, as far as calc is concerned this is easy as hell. anyone who complains about her should never pursue anything in math. Easy A. Comment about tests being decieving is valid though. I got screwed on a few easy questions since its multiple choice..

The accent worries you at first, but you get used to it quickly. Very good teacher. Go to lecture and ask questions. Interesting and not boring. Befriend the TA's, they can help during tests.

Excellent Professor. One of the best professors at UD, really helps her student. If you keep up with the course work you will be fine. Really good pace.

It takes a week to get used to her accent, but once you get past that she really is a good teacher. She always makes sure to stop and ask everyone if they are clear on the material during class.

Will help you if you ask, very good at explaining problems. I would not take this class if you didn't have calculus in high school, just because it moves very fast.

I thought she was such a nice lady, every five minutes she asked us if we understood. Also set up study groups. Tests weren't too hard if you knew what you were doing. Have to have calc in high school and have to really study for this class

hard accent to understand, but cares about her students..get the Oh calculus book and lots of the same questions are on the tests!!! Not that bad of a class, but a lot of work

I didnt take calc in HS and I do fine in this class. It takes about a week to get over her accent. In acuality she is very nice, funny, and will give extra credit at the drop of a hat. Do your HW and participate and youll be set.

Once you get over her accent she is a great professor. She really wants you to fully understand the concepts. If you don't like participating in class, however, i don't reccomend taking one of her classes.

really nice teacher, once you get use to her accent you should be fine in class. Quzzies like every other week, pretty tough sometimes, hard tests tho

Calculus isn't the easiest subject, but pyrros helps as much as she can. She is always willing to stay after and help with any questions. Getting a good TA is a big part for this class too, they make the quizzes that are worth half your grade.

She doesn't matter... TA does!!! TA gives, makes tests and quizzes. Talk to your TA not Pyrros.

Gotta love the accent. If you had calc before, it's a breeze. Raise your hand, make an effort, and BOOM...extra credit like there's no tomorrow!

Good teacher, shes gotta cool accent. I took AP calc, but i find her quizzes easy...so far I have an A average. Go to the TA dicussions, they help a lot, i never do my homework, but the TA does them in class

I find calc easy b/c math is my big strength (I'm averaging an A-). Plus I like her accent, she has a wicked sense of humor and really knows what she's doing

TA makes the class. mine sucked couldent teach and never gave a hint to quiz content. Pyrros is helpfull but class is too big for her to give individual attention but TA makes quizes which are 1/2 grade. Buy the red book! q's in it=q's on tests!

Such a nice, classy lady. Math 221 is a nasty course, but I can't think of a better professor to take it with. She can be unclear at times, but I had a great TA, and learned a lot from her. It is important to make sure that you have a good TA in this class!!

She trys hard to help you as much as possible, and gives lots of extra credit if you are not afraid to raise your hand. The TA is key,and I had a good one. Buy the red book because the exam questions are really tricky. If you go to class and have had calc before, you should be able to get a C.

She's awesome.

Dr. Pyrros is simply great. She has a heart for students and really wants to see us all succeed in the difficult subject of calculus. She understands its not easy. I took this class online, which I would highly recommend. But any time I had to talk with her, Pyrros always conveyed sincere concern.

Pyrros is a really easy teacher if you know how to study for her tests...LIVE BY THE "OH CALCULUS" WORKBOOK. Its the only thing you need for the tests...every question is in there word for word, no numbers or answers changed. I got an A w/out doing hw or studying too hard.

She was a pretty good teacher, I learned... Only way i learned was by doing the homework, she teaches basics, you have to do the assigned problems to get good grades on the quizes. The OH calculus book is nessecary to get a good grade on the tests

(Kirkbride Implodes and crumbles since it looks like the Vet)...PYRRROOSSSS!!! (Pyrros: LETTT'S GOOOO!! [Like she says at the start of class]). Great teacher. Her red Oh Calculus! book is where her exams come from. I had calc before so I got an easy A.

Easy class. Tells you exactly what she wants and what to study. Funny lady.

Very easy class. She is very straightforward about what she wants on tests and exams. Class on the otherhand is a waste of time, and pretty unstructured. You can just get notes off of someone else and not skip a beat. Easy A.

great prof, really interested in subject and students. easy class, but interesting too- doesnt require unnecessary memorization.

Great teacher with thick accent. Her "Oh Calculus!" book is a great aide for the class because all of her exams come straight from that book, word for word. I had Calc. before, so I got an easy A. Just come to class--she explains everything!

Is a funny, clear teacher who wants her students to succeed! Her tests are hard if you didn't look at the red o calculus book, but other than that she's a good teacher!

the class is probably the easiest math class i will take at the university of delaware. her TA, john, is the best TA i have. his help is what makes the class easier...

She teaches everything very well and the TA John was alot of help as well. If you don't have the red book Oh Calculus! you come out with probably a C, failing tests and getting 100 on quizzes.

I thought this was a really hard class.The tests are nothing like the quizzes and the Oh Calculus book helped, but I still failed both tests.The quizzes were challenging, but at least they were taken from hw problems.I had Calculus in highschool too.Participate in class bc she gives extra credit a lot which is heavily weighted. John is the best TA.

I didn't have calc in High School but I didn't find this class incredibly hard. She is nice and understandable but you have to stick with her when she goes off on a tangent. A good TA, doing the hw, participating, and going over notes/problems are key to an A.

Pyrros is a good teacher.

Pyrros is an EXCELLENT calculus professor. She explains difficult concepts in simple terms so that students can understand. When you put the time and effort into the course, there is no way that you can't succeed. She does an outstanding job. It's all up to the student to do his/her part.

BEST CALC PROFESSOR! always willing to help and gives lots of extra credit. study the practice tests bc most of the test questions come from them. if ur confused in the class she will find you a tutor. i wouldnt take calc with anyone else even if it means getting up at 8am. go to class and do the practice tests and its an easy A.

She is a great teacher. She is always willing to help. I highly recommend doing the homework assignments on the syllabus because it prepares you for the quizzes. Also going to discussion and doing the red book practice is to your benefit.

professor pyrros is maybe the best teacher i ever took in 4 years of college. not only is she the cutest thing in the world and i wanted to take her home to put her on a shelf and wind her up and listen to her all day WHAAATTDDAA YA MEAN U DUNNOO?! ITSZZA INAAAA DAA BOOOK!! she helps you alot and your grade is up to the TA so make him ur best frie

She is an awesome teacher!! The class is really easy and she is always giving out extra credit! Plu she has easy exams that are similar to the ones she posts in her Oh Calculus book. She is always willing to help and go over any problems. It is an easy A if yo study practice exams. I didn't even attend half of the lectures and it was fine.

She is a really nice lady.. kinda funny too. Her accent is cute. If you just try & raise your hand, you will receive extra credit. She really tries to help & teach you to understand calculus. Her tests are multiple choice & kinda hard. I mainly did well b/c of the TAs quizzes every 2 weeks.

This is by no means an easy A unless you have taken calc before. Go to class and participate, even if you don't know the answers. Study the red book and go to TA for help. Overall one of the best in the Math dept

I do not like calc, but I love this lady. She is such a good teacher and a very fair grader. If you participate in class she gives extra credit, and she walks you through it if you dont know what you are doing. take Pyrros over any other teacher, shes the best in the math department

She was a cool teacher. Do the problems in the reda buka. I took calc in high school and got an a- in this class. I also received the most extra credit in the history of that class. i beasted it up. but i guess i didnt do good enough on my actualy work and thats y i didnt get an a. but shes probably the best teacher you can get for this class

Take her! Easy if you do the work. Do homework probs for quizzes, do workbook practice tests for tests. Many problems come directly from those sources. Use the math lab. Participate and you get extra credit even if you are wrong.

Besides the fact that her accent and her sense of humor maade her class fun to be in, she is a great professor who knows her stuff. My advice take her because she is the main person who makes up the tests...she wrote the book we all use. The red workbook is all you need to study when taking tests.

she's great and funny. the class was a bit hard, and i swear i failed a majority of the quizzes, but i got a B- because of the easy final, exams, and extra credit! quizzes are hard. lots of extra credit if you participate, and TA's will clear up what you don't understand. take her!

Listen, calc stinks and I think Pyrros realizes that too, but she's very interested in it. Her class is hard and she's the first to admit it. She moves fast so keep up. TA's are generally solid and it's easy to makeup quizzes so you know the questions. First exam, so-so, Second impossible, Final is EASY. Definitely the least painful calc teacher

Pyrros is one of the funniest people alive. She's an amazing calculus teacher, I never took calculus in high school, and came out of honors pre-calculus, which was a joke, but still felt like I could learn everything, and she definitly explained the material well enough, and allowed questions during periods in her lecture.If you take calc, get her

i hated math and calculus in particular in high school. she finally made me understand what i had gone a whole year not understanding. her tests and quizzes were hard but if u understood the material ur golden. she gives a ton of extra credit just for participating even for wrong answers. and shes hilarious. her accents not a problem either.

I took AP calc in high school but opted to retake calc one anyway. As a result, I found the course to be very easy. However, even without prior knowledge of the material, I think Pyrros would have be an excellent teacher. Plus she gives out bonus points like candy :)

She is a really nice friendly lady! she gives out extra credit like crazy during class, even if you get called on and you give a total dumb answer shes like "alright, 5 points for YOUU!" I had calc in highschool so i found it really easy, you realy need to pay attention and go to class to do well tho, overall quizes straight from book

She uses real life examples to help students understand applied calc better.

great professor. i had AP calc in highschool and i did not find this class hard at all. but even without prior calc knowledge pyrros makes calc more understandable. DO THE RED BOOK EXAMS most of the test questions come from those and if they are not directly from the red book they are very similar. answer questions in class = xtra credit!

not to bad for those who have had calc already. test come from the orange workbook, so if u do them u have a good idea of what is to come. homework only if u want to do it, although u should or you'll be lost. Discussion is very helpful if your confused. if u go to class and answer question u get extra credit!

Great lady, lots of extra credit opportunities. cares about the students.

Pyrros is a sweet woman. She loves her students and really wants them to do well. She gives mad extra credit for class participation. If you use the supplementary book she recommends there is no reason to ever fail this class. Her exams are tricky, but not impossible.

She is such a funny lady! Go to class because she gives extra credit every day even if you get it wrong. If you have taken calc before this should be easy. Do well on the quizzes and buy Pyrros's red book. Her exams are veryyyy similar!

she is the sweetest teacher ever! she sincerely wants you to do well and gives out a lot of extra credit. she'll drop your lowest quiz grade and uses lots of examples from class on her tests.

Pyrros was the best math teacher I've ever had. She sincerely wants you to do well and will do whatever possible to help you. She goes over everything many times to make sure the class understands. She's helpful and loves when you ask questions and will reward you with some nice extra credit. She's also pretty funny. I love her!

Great teacher. Gives TONS of extra credit every day which can bring you up a letter grade. quizes are short and midterm and final are both multiple choice. No required HW. Easy if youve taken Calc in high school, covers pretty basic stuff. Study the night before the test, skip a few days, and you'll do great in this class haha

Pyrros is the worst math teacher I have had in quite some time. All of the reviews saying that she is great are misleading. Yes, she knows her facts about calculus but she really doesn't teach them. The class is terrible because half is taught by her and the other half is by a T.A. who doesn't speak ANY english. Plus there are no review sessions!

A kind woman and a good teacher. Recommended.

Pyrros was great. Really enthusiastic in class, and funny sometimes if you pay attention. There were SO many opportunities for extra credit, and usually all you had to do was raise your hand. She really wants every student to succeed- accent might be hard to understand for some but not bad. I definitely recommend taking a class with her!

The key to the class is limiting the damage on the second exam. You will do the worst on the second exam out of the three exams. The final is very easy, I had a 26/30 and the quizzes and first exam are middle of the road in terms of difficulty. Just study your red book and you will be fine, and do your homework too.

Georgia Pyrros was probably one of the most wonderful professors that I have ever had. She's kind, extremely helpful, and a burst of enthusiasm. Anyone who gave her a bad rating is just a novice in the realm of mathematics. And there you you go. :)

Calc is a very hard subject but she makes it clear and tells you what you will need it for so you dont feel like your wasting your time. She is funny and cares about you doing well. Tests are hard but you can make up for them with quizzes. Talk to her and if she knows you care you will do fine in the class.

Prof. Pyrros is really sweet and she really cares about her students. I had never had Calculus before and at first, her class was really hard for me. But if you go to class, pay attention, and do the homework, you should be fine. Definitely use the orange book!

People say shes a hard teacher... truth is the material is pretty tough... she gets through the material pretty well... and if she doesn't get through it the TA will during discussion (GO TO THE DISCUSSIONS HELPS A LOT!) not impossible to get an A just study in a timely fashion and you should be good

If you are not afraid to answer question aloud in a large lecture hall this class may be for you. A good amount of extra credit is given to those who participate vocally.

She is really a good professor. The lecture is clear and the quizes are easy if you go to DISCUSSION(really helpful). She gives a lot extra credits when you answer questions in her lecture.Do orange book before each exam since the test is similar.

Honestly, I really didn't like her at first, but now I ADORE this woman! She's so sweet and really wants her students to do well. She's eager to give lots of extra credit... so participate! Even if you answer wrong, she'll give you credit. GO TO DISCUSSIONS AND USE YOUR ORANGE BOOK! Doing all of the homework isn't really necessary

The material isn't that hard, but going to TA recitations are very helpful. Tests consist of memorizing her red book problems, but you'll learn/understand the material from the quizzes the TA's give out. She's very sweet with a cute Athenian accent, though.

This class was pretty straight forward. All exam questions were based off homework, orange book, or problems in class. She loves extra credit, its very easy to get an extra 5 points. Go to discussion, the TA makes the quizzes and will go over what to practice. Her accent is not that hard to understand, easy to succeed if you like math and do work.

seems like she might be a hard ass in the very beginning but is the sweetest lady. always willing to help and always looking out for her students. really wants you to not only succeed but find usefulness and interest in the class. basically gives away 20 pts of extra credit: DO NOT TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED. her orange work book is great prep for tests

Professor Pyrros takes some getting used to. If you have to take calc, don't get discouraged in the beginning when she's mean and kind of a hard ass. She gets easier and funnier and more enjoyable as the semester goes on. Make sure you go to discussion because that helps for quizzes. The orange book REALLY HELPS. And you get 20 extra credit points!

Her accent takes some time to get used to, but she's clear, straight forward and kind. The TA's help you w/their quizzes and the test questions come from her book she wrote. This is a large intro class, so she was good for it!

If you haven't had Calculus previously, this class can be challenging. If you find yourself struggling, you need to seek help immediately, it only gets worse. Plenty of extra credit, have fun.

Taking calculus before, this class challenged me a bit. But she is very nice and looks out for her students and encourages participation. TA's make the quizzes, which are harder than the tests. Go to class and the review session and the class is easy.

She is a really good professor but the class itself is hard. Exams are multiple choice and are not too hard but quizzes are hard, and can really hurt your grade. If you start falling behind, get help immediately. She is very helpful and straightforward.

Although Pyrros might not be the best teacher, she is honestly the sweetest woman. She really cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. If you have never taken calc before taking this class, it is definitely going to be a struggle. Just buy her yellow book and do all of the homework (for practice) and you should be fine!

Difficult class if you never had calculus before. She has an accent but it isn't terrible and she explains the material very well. Tries to crack dumb jokes sometimes. The TA is what kills your grade since they make the quizzes. Her exams are easy enough if you study her yellow book with practice exams since they are similar. Buy the yellow book!

Its a bought class... but any calc is going to be difficult if you don't understand math well. she does a great job of going over examples you just have to pay attention and if you don't get it ask or look it up.. no attendance no hw.. its basically up to you and exams are right out of her yellow book and quizs are right out of the textbook.

Pyrros is the greatest. She is so nice, smart, funny, and helpful. BUT if you didn't have calculus before, good friggin' luck. The class is definitely unfair if you are unlucky enough to get a hard TA because they make all of the quizzes. If you ask a specific question, she repeats the whole problem because she can't understand students very well.

Pretty good class, people don't seem to do well on average, especially if they don't have a background with calc. She's a good teacher, but you should definitely go to discussions because the TA will pretty much tell you what's on the quizzes.

Very good professor for calc. Goes over stuff and writes most of the steps out and is more than willing to go back and do stuff over again for people who dont understand. Highly recommended.

kind of a strong accent but you get used to it. discussion attendance required but the TA just confused me. took calc in high school so I didn't find it difficult but think that even if I didn't take it before that I would understand. doesn't give extra credit or curve like some of the other calc professors which is annoying but still did well.

Attendance isn't mandatory to lectures, but it really helps to go to class. She makes sure everyone is engaged and understands the material she's covering. Lowest quiz score is dropped, the TAs make those. Two exams and a final, the yellow book really helps you with those because the questions are basically the same. Optional homework.

Pyrros is a great teacher, she really tries to make sure that every student understands the material that she is teaching. She is a little hard to understand at times because of her thick accent but your TA will be able to clarify any questions you may have. She also offers ten points extra credit just for participating in class! Highly recommend

shes a nice proffesor but this is a hard class, even if you took calc in HS. She tries her best, but some TA's are horrible while some are good. If you study hard she will def help you get a good grade

I loved Pyrros! She actually takes out the time so that you get the material. If you didn't have Calculus before then the class will be hard. The quizzes make the class hard, but they really do prepare you for the exams. Barely used the textbook, and make sure you get the workbook! Majority of the test question are straight from the workbook.

i loved pyrros. she was very helpful and makes sure you understand the material before she moves on. if you didnt have calc before it could be difficult. get the yellow workbook-almost all exam questions come from it.

I have never been good at math, so I eventually had to change this class to an audit so it wouldn't kill my GPA. Regardless... she wants to help EVERY student. She was so understanding when i talked to her about my bad grade and she RAISED my confidence even after failing exams. She's AWESOME if you just get to know her. She loves effort!

Shes a real nice lady and definitely wants her students to do well. Her accent is really thick though and most of the time its hard to understand her. The class isn't too hard if you keep up in it and do the homework

Pyrros is a great professor! I went into this class with no calculus background and that made it extremely difficult, but she genuinely wants you to succeed. Make sure you speak up in class a few times to get the 10 points extra credit. If you want to pass, buy the optional yellow workbook! She often uses questions directly from it on her exams!

Went into this class with no calculus background and still managed to get a B. The class is not easy, specifically the quizzes, but go to discussion for quizzes and yellow workbook for exams and you should be good. Really wants her class to see the usefulness of calculus and not just look at it as a formula or rule. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended especially if you like understanding why things work the way they do. Accent isn't too bad and she wants you to really understand the concepts. There's extra credit and exams are fair. Quizzes made by TA and mine was not good (didn't speak much English) but go to math prep center or her office hours for help. Do textbook probs.

Definitely recommend this professor. She has two midterms, six quizzes, and a final. Not a very challenging class, but going to class is definitely a necessity. It can be a little hard to understand her at first because of her accent, but you get used to it after a while. Textbook and workbook are rarely used.

I LOVED Dr. Pyrros. I was aiming for an A in the class and it was definitely attainable, unfortunately I did poorly on the last few quizzes and got a 40% on the final (even though I studied) so I ended up with a C+. My advice would be to go to class every single day AND discussion, DON'T buy the book, and do all the Web Assign problems.

The exams are difficult because they're multiple choice and way different than the practice exams she gives or the examples she does in class. Extremely sweet woman and gives 10 pts extra credit, but overall a difficult class. We had extremely low averages on every exam and she waits until the end to curve so its very stressful

If you have any calc background, class attendance is not at all necessary. I got an A- and i went to class maybe 6 times aside from quizzes/tests all semester. She is very difficult to understand and doesn't really go into much detail in class. If you took a decent calc class in high school, you will not learn one new thing all semester.

Pyrros is a decent teacher however the class is pointless. You need to learn the material on your own as the class feels more like a review session than an actual math course. Welcome to college

Pyrros is so sweet! She is a bit hard to understand, but she's passionate about her students' success. I took AP Calc in high school so I had some background which helped. There's a quiz every two weeks and three exams which are difficult. You don't need to buy the textbook but there is a practice book she wrote with exact test questions in it!

Professor Pyrros is the sweetest woman. She wants her students to do nothing but succeed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to see her during her office hours and bringing prior quizes/tests *hint hint* if you work out problems with her she will throw you some extra credit.

I came into the class expecting Dr. Pyrros to be the worst teacher because of these reviews. She so is not! She is a very sweet lady that in the end just wants her students to succeed,I loved her class, and cut her some slack because she is teaching a very difficult time sensitive course. If you study and put time into the course there is no excuse

Georgia Pyrros is the one of the most dedicated professors I have ever had at UD. She may come off as callus, but once you get to know her (and how she teaches) You will love it. GO to her office hours, once she establishes a personal contact with you, things will become much easier. Use the yellow book only, don't even buy the other text.

Pyrros is a fantastic professor and is your best bet for getting an A in Calc. She is always very helpful during office hours and will even give you some advice about your future while you are there. I never had taken Calc before and I was very scared, but it will be okay if you go to lecture and USE HER YELLOW BOOK!

I loved being in this class. The material wasn't always easy, but having quizzes every week was actually helpful in the long run because it forced you to stay on top of things. The questions were sometimes more difficult than expected, but it was always very clear what was going to be on quizzes.

Nice professor. Easy class. You even don't need go to class. Just remember the date for each quiz and test, then be there get your A. That's what I was doing. If you hope to know the exam questions before the exam, review your yellow book. Again, easy A, good prof.

Let me start off by saying that I have never taken Calc before so I was nervous going into this class. Professor Pyrros was so helpful during her office hours and helped me with old exam problems and things I did not understand in lecture. ONLY BUY THE YELLOW BOOK, DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY. Go to lecture and use the yellow book

3 Tests (all multiple choice) and 10 extra credit points. Go to lecture and use her yellow book and you'll be fine. Don't buy the textbook even she says you don't need it. She is very helpful so don't be intimidated by her because she's really sweet and helpful!

Was an overall great professor but this was because I took Calculus in High School. Got an A putting in minimal work besides attending all lectures. Never did one homework problem but did well in the class by reviewing all of the examples she did in class. Not a warm and fuzzy professor but it wasn't horrible.

MATH221 is one of, if not, the most failed class at the University. However, Pyrros will probably be your best bet. The class is extremely difficult and you will have to learn a lot of it on your own. My advice: GET TO KNOW HER. Constantly meet with her and she will give you extra pts. She truly cares about her students!

If you put in the time and effort to really learn the material then you will have no trouble passing. The lessons can be challenging (she has a very strong accent) but the TAs are extremely helpful. Go to them if you get points off for a question and they will most likely give you back credit. She can be understanding if she sees you in class often

If you are a senior, Take the online Section!!!!! the Lectures are 75min and from 2004 but it makes life so much easier. She does not really communicate with the online section so getting info on grading and tutoring sessions is a little annoying. 3 Exams (15 questions each) taken at the resource center, no discussions, no annoying freshmen

Really disappointing how many people disrespect Pyrros. She's not perfect but definitely one of your best options in the math department. Math221 quizzes are from the textbook, exams are from the green book. I would say get both. Go to office hours, they help, I had a D at mid-term, and pulled off an A-, so it's really possible to do well.

Pyrros is a great professor. Many people struggled, but if you go to lecture, you'll do fine. One thing I wish I would've realized in the beginning of the semester is that the quizzes are based purely on the homework from the textbook (practice those problems, it really helps!!!) Definitely can get an A if you work hard

Pyrros knows what she is talking about, and if you pay attention in lecture, the class is not bad. The quizzes come from the optional homework problems. The exams come from the green book practice exams. She is very nice so don't be afraid to ask for a little extra credit as long as you actually go to class.
