Excellent teacher. Yes, she is hard but she is very concerned for your well being IF you show interest and try hard. She does go fast but she allows time for catching your notes up.

AVOID. I made the mistake of not trusting the other reviewers; I took one of her classes over the summer, as a high schooler, and thought that Community College students just couldn't handle her workload. WRONG. I was a straight A math student before her class. All of her tests have extremely random questions and her homework is impossible.

Her "role" as a teacher was worthless...i.e. this course was basically self-study. All she did was assign material signifcantly more difficult than was in the book and mark off FOR EVERYTHING. Literally, if your work shown isn't enough for a 1st grader to understand the material, you lose all credit. I got a D in this class and an A in real Calc.

My lowest possible recommendation. I've had my share of poor teachers, but she takes the cake.

If that and torture in general sounds appealing, definitely take her class.

She prefers to do things her way when mymathlab wants it their way. She adds in a lot of stuff that throws you off b.c she feels the need to show work that you've always been told to do in your head.

This professor is very disorganized she keeps changing what tests are out of. She has barely graded any assignments. She's not a good communicator, it takes days to get in touch with her. She didn't give a study guide before one of the tests and then posted it after the test was due and gave me no apology or accountability for it not being posted.

Horrible teacher as she is very disorganized and always stressed me out when it came to her always expecting more out of you when she doesn't even reach out back to you or even when it came to tests, she was disorganized with test prep questions as they were scrambled. Do not take this class as I can promise there are better professors than her.
