She has a little bit of difficulty understanding questions at times because of the fact that she is not a native speaker but simply repeat it for her.She is very understanding and ready to help at all times. She is also extremely lenient with assignments. During my class she would constantly push back the due dates to accommodate the students.

Be prepared, SHE TEACHES MATH BY POWERPOINT. She takes off points if you don't have a calculator (that you never use in class anyways). You can barely understand her.If you don't know the answer, she'll make you go up to the board and solve it.The only great thing about her class is the reviews for the tests.

No extra credit, but she is very helpful. Expect to do hw and practice on your own or in math lab. She gives out detailed notes, quizzes online (open book) and 3-4 tests. "pop quizzes" in class, a hw problem from the previous chapter. Gives us formulas to use on the test, so all you have to know is how to apply them.
