This is a hard class. She makes you memorize all the formulas.When she teaches, she doesn't break the solution steps down.. she just basically write the problem and gives us the answer. she makes it more confusing then the book. its better to read the book and learn how to solve problems yourself. She didn't teach me anything.

She says that she'll help but all she does is rush through lectures. She summarizes chapters into summaries of her own words that she can only understand because she has written them. She rushes up to the point of being able to cover one whole chapter in 10 minutes because she's not up to date with the syllabus.
