Had Gandhi for both pre-cal classes. Her teaching style is remarkably clear and thoroughly logical. The course was challenging, and you cannot forget anything. In Cal 1 now, and making above 95's on the tests, directly thanks to her class. If you want to really learn math, don't take anyone else.

She is very nice and determined professor. She worked hard to get to where she is, and if you dont show the same extreme effort you will fail. Her quizzes and tests are very difficult and make the problems in the book look easy. She has very little required homework but if you dont study outside of class it will come to bite you in the rear.

This teacher is very unclear when she teaches and has a bad habit of confusing the majority of the class. Her test are extremely difficult and does not prepare you very well for them.

if u dont do good in her class its because u didnt really try. she will prepare u well for your future math classes (cal 1, 2, etc.).

Not the class to take if you're not a math person. Gandhi is very smart but not very good at teaching students.
