Zuberek is a nice lady, and seems to care about her students, however she is a horrible teacher.

The material isn't that hard, she just has a knack for making it harder. Bad prof.

Words cannot describe what a terrible instructor this lady was - so unclear. Friendly but has no sweet clue what's on the go. Be forewarned, you can get caught sharing assignments - she cuts whatever mark you had in half as punishment. Not much can prepare you for the multiple choice on the final - not even a super expensive tutor...

The 411: Zuberic has a very thick accent = incomprehensible + the course material is hard and work load heavy. This combination makes for a very challenging course.
