Helpful in class, and she does know what she is talking about. I had a bit of trouble getting around her southern accent for the first ten minutes, then had no troubles. She has some politics behind her, but she does well at recognizing when she is getting political in a math class and stops.

She is very nice (maybe a little too nice) and VERY organized. She has a very affective teaching style. I'm not a math person, and I am doing well in this class. It is my second time taking this class. Last time (with a different prof.) I made a D+ while in her class I have a B. Definately take her!

She gives test make-up, drops your lowest test score, drops your 2 lowest quizzes , and lets your final be plugged in for your lowest test. She's really nice and is very very willing to help. She came in on the weekends during finals so we could get last minute questions answered. She's super helpful for the nonmath kids like me.

Straight forward class, she tells you what you need to do to get an A so you're not left in the dark like a lot of teachers will do, but the class isn't easy.
