She's the one you need to take 220 with simply because she's the coordinator. Her quiz and midterm are harder than other sections but she prepares you well for the final. Her students in the final can do much better than other sections'. She's helpful if you are a hard worker.

She is funny and approachable - the biggest issue is her multiple choice on exams/quizzes - I got 98 in long answer and bombed multiple choice cause she really checks if you UNDERSTAND the material so beware! she is also hard to understand in class - but material is easy so you should be fine if you keep up to date on your readings

She is THE best instructor someone could ask for! She knows her stuff and makes class so engaging. The course is still difficult though.

The course is not difficult, but they recently changed it and now there are 4 textbooks, also she doesn't post solutions to all the end of chapter questions so if you skip tutorials, you can;t practice. The course is more difficult to follow since they send you in 5 different places to access the material, but the content is nothing too difficult.

Loretta was an "okay" professor.

What I heard about her was false, she is a tough marker only if you don't follow the rules (for example long answers MUST be in ink). She warns people well in advance and reminds people.

One of the best lecturers in my opinion. You want to do well because she makes class interesting. 2 in class tests (MC), midterm (easy) and final (pretty hard). 220 is a reasonably challenging course because there are lots of chapters and practice required but just keep up with lectures and youre fine. Attend Matteo's tutorials.

She makes simple concepts unnecessarily hard to understand.
