There no lying, i dont see how so many people register for this teacher. Go to tutuoring and read the textbook. To make up for her horrible teaching her tests were jokes. The final was the midterm with differnt numbers. Also at the end of the semester she makes u write your name on the paper where u rate her i thought was unfair. she threatens you

She's an idiot. Look up the definition of the word idiot - and you'll see her name. She's so confusing and absolutely has no idea what she is doing. I was so good at Math and now, i'm so lost. DO NOT take her!
