Very difficult to understand. Will call you out if you look like you're not paying attention. Uses iClicker for attendance but didn't teach very effectively - I learned everything by doing the homework online. Not a bad teacher, just not too effective, and wasn't very helpful with answering student questions/responding to concerns.

You use mathlabs online, which shows you your grade throughout the course. Ito waited until the middle of the semester to tell as that the grade on mathlabs wasn't right. She weights things differently than the computer so I thought I had a 90 but I really had a 65! I also had to teach myself all of the material. This class has been so frustrating

Worst professor at FAU. Run the opposite way ! Lectures were subpar and the exams weighed heavily against the final grade. Self teaching is imperative to success in this class . Most people failed throughout the entire course. The only thing that saved some students was the final which could replace a failing grade from a unit exam.

I would STRONGLY suggest avoiding this professor at ALL costs. You will be teaching yourself the material. She only reads through powerpoints that are taken directly from the online textbook. She does not discuss problems and solutions. She teaches VERY fast which is hard to keep up with and hard to understand due to her accent. Do not take her.

So much work. You have like 2 pre worksheets, 2 post worksheets, 3 homeworks, and a quiz per week. Also the quizzes are only available for one hour at 2 pm on Mondays so God help you if you actually have a job.

Worst professor that I have ever taken. Horribly designed class, you learn material that she goes over only once then have to do a worksheet on it that’s 20% of you grade. You are then expected to learn that information in one week to take a quiz that is worth 50% of you’re grade. Also there is no feedback on the worksheet until after the quiz.

I recommend watching YouTube videos & taking notes from the textbook the day before each lecture. She's not a difficult teacher regarding her lecture, but my main critiques are she will mark you off/give you a zero on quizzes for the most insignificant things. PAs are 50% of your grade so don't get the same "violation" in a row or you'll get an "F"
