She makes math easy to understand and she makes you do the "Index Cards" for the formula. As a matter of fact, the index card stick the formula in your brain. Trust me, take her and you will get an "A".

I was apart of her learning community and in 8wks I understood the whole text book. She gives you ample extra credit. The homework that you have to do is an online program, but a classmate of mine never did her and still pass the class with an A, but the homework is helpful. You are never blind to what is going to be on the quiz or her test.

This professor can not see well and often makes mistakes. She gets mad if you don't understand-very impatient at times. She simply can not teach anything above MAT1033, she often shows favoritism-best advise-don't waste your money because she does not use the book and you're better off with another professor.
