All she does is write notes on the board & not math problems. Literally notes, like definitions, which will be on the tests. only doing a few math problems on the board.

The lectures are easy to follow, making it simple to understand the material. She was charming and respectful. Questions from the homework are similar to the lecture. Every test includes a bonus question at the end, worth 3 points. I found the test review workout she posted clear and helpful. I highly recommend her for statistics.
