Mary is a relatively easy teacher, just lectures and the test material is over powerpoints. No need for the book, just print the slides and you'll be fine. The class is simple, she also gives 1 quiz per section in between tests, so go to class to pick up 10 easy points...and she offers a 10 pt extra credit article which is unheard of in upper div
