This class is set up as half from the book and half online. If you are looking for a somewhat easy instructor, this is the instructor to take. I think a little over 30% of the class received an A in this course. This instructor does not spend a lot of time teaching the material. She prefers group work.

Easy teacher. She lets us use 1pg of notes on tests and 2pgs of notes on final. Final was awesome. We got review packets and the final mirrored the packet. Of course problems changed a little (but some did remain the same), but if you understand how to do the problem, you were golden. This was great since final was cumulative and 20% of your grade.

I took another prof last semester and after failing that class, didn't expect too much but I can understand what is going on in class, and can do my algebra. You should take her, and ask questions.
