Ok right off the bat she is a good teacher. However it feels like she is kinda shaky. It might be because this was the first time she taught this calc class. If you don't like math then you may want to find an easier teacher. If you like math and a challenge get her because you will learn a lot.

Do not take any of her classes. Her exams are nothing like the lectures. I took calculus in high school and made an A, I took it my first year in college and made a D. Class averages on the 4 exams were 70, 79, 59, 59...thats a pretty good indicator that she either horrible at teaching or just doesnt want her students to do well.

I struggled in Math 123. She is very nice, but it was hard for me to learn from her and her notes. The only grades in the class are tests and quizzes, so if you do bad on those, it's awful. I had to learn ALL the material from a friend because I had such a hard time learning from her.

Jennifer is a low class teacher, do not stay comfortable in her class. She relies on webassign, which hardly does you any good; she does not know how to help a student understand the material, which by my definition makes unworthy of teaching young minds.

She over explains everything but as long as you pay attention it's really easy to do well in the class. She's so good about office hours and offering extra help.
