She wastes no time teaching. You sit down, she walks in, sets her screen up, and you being note taking. That's all the class is. Take notes, study, take a quiz. She has an accent, but you adjust quickly. She isn't very personal, but she seems really sweet and she is helpful when you don't understand. I did well, and I would take her again.

I thought the class was incredibly hard at first but then it got waaaay better. Just make sure you pay attention during the class notes and I would suggest making a study group to prepare for the exams. I never felt very invited to come get help during office hours.

Heena is definitely one of the best CALC teachers at JMU. She goes fairly fast, but covers everything you need to know. She lectures a lot, but they are helpful as she is good at explaining her work, and she always takes questions. Graded on just tests and quizzes, but the problems are similar to the ones she does in class, so pay attention.

I didn't love her at the beginning of the semester, but as time went on she grew on me. I'm terrible at math, and her teaching style was perfect for me. She goes over examples during the lectures and it helps a lot. If you go to class, take notes, and do the homework you will do well.

Dr. Gandhi is a great math professor. She is very straight-to-the-point and explains concepts pretty clearly. The homework and practice exams closely mirror the actual exams. She doesn't grade the exams harshly, and even with some mistakes you can get partial credit for a question. I am horrible at math and managed to end this class with an A!

Such a stressful class to learn from. She makes it harder and more painful for you. She posts a lot of homework every day. Her homework load is so big that you won't have any free time on the weekend. I was so stressed taking her that I don't even know if I am alive or not. She talks like an AI who would just write the answer without steps or etc.

She expects you to know all the math problems before the class starts. I have trouble time following her steps since it is hard to read. She would always say that you need to know this and that but some of us can't even solve certain calculus problems at the speed of light like her. Her accent makes me not wanna attend class anymore.

Professor Ghandi is very good at explaining a problem well and homework as well as take-home quizzes are very similar to the test questions. Lot of your points come from homework so if you are doing it you should be fine. She gives a study guide out for all of the tests which were also very helpful and is also a pretty easy grader..

Each week you typically have two homework and two worksheet assignments and a quiz every other. Her tests are not that hard but even with a low score your other assignments help your grade by ALOT.

Dr. Gandhi is a very sweet lady. She tries her best to prepare you in class for the exams, but her exams are somewhat difficult. The material is not really hard but you only get 50 minutes if you have this class 3 times a week and that is not enough for the length of the exam. Other than that if you just do your homework you'll be fine.
