Grethe is a super nice lady. She is a very helpful teacher, and gives lots of bonus points and extra credit. If the class doesnt do well on a test, she gives back points. (ie, a 32 of 50 becomes 39 of 50). Loads of homework, but, if you actually do it, tyhe concepts start to come to you. Take it for credit no credit.

I had this teacher for Math 7. She was great! I studied my ass off for that class because the subject itself is very demanding.

You need to tell teachers when they are going too fast because it's difficult for them to gauge.

Would take again

By far Wygant is the best Intermediate Algebra teacher. I went in being pretty crappy at math but her grading and teaching style made me feel like I was actually getting it. Her homework may sound like a lot but it's so easy and the points are worth it. She is also understanding, definitely recommend her if you feel uneasy about math.
