I think her exams are too long, like her m/c for instance those questions are soo time consuming b/c most involve calculations. HWK is insane load. I don't like how she doesn't let us copy down the solutions in time when she goes over them. b/c everyone tries so hard that's why class average is so high. I guess her strategy of forcing hwk works.

Ok, just to clear the air on the previous posts. This is a 6 credit class jammed into 3 months, If you signed up for this class you knew it would be hard.

this 6 credit course is harsh in terms of workload, you have to be very fast on the exams, they don't let u think much. either u get it or u go on. a fair portion of the students actually end up failing or withdrawing. however, if u are a very hard worker, minimum grade of C+ is gauranteed no matter what.

Hands down the worst professor I have ever experienced. She is hypocritical, demanding, and very rude to her students. In addition to her attitude problem, she doesn't even teach. Never posts things online when she says she will, and she rarely responds to emails. I am an 'A' student & have had tough profs before, but she is terrible. Avoid!!

A majority of the lecture is spent on her telling us what to expect on an exam. Going over homework is her checking to see its completed, and just reading out what's on the projector. Unable to answer students questions if she can't find the answer in the solution guide. Unapproachable, a bit rude, homework she assigns differs greatly from exams.
