This teacher is the worst; she's sarcastic, you must figure things out on your own; she' doesn't teach a thing. I had to teach my self! She's not helpful at all and you can't even ask a question without her getting mad at you. She has an awful accent and you don't understand a thing she says. Don't take her if you want to learn something.
