You will not find a teacher at Mesa who cares more about her students. She does not require the text book. If you show up to class and take good notes you don't need it. The nicest teacher to talk to if you need help. She gives some extra credit ideas. The class is not an easy A but not hard either if you pay attention. Multiple choice tests.
