She is very unclear. This is my first time being exposed to calculus and I feel like I am learning it wrong from her. I am learning a lot of it on my own and I am currently sitting in at another school's calculus class because this one is so bad. A disrespect to mathematics education.

She likes notes a specific way, she wants students to show work a certain way. Her 'practice tests' are not helpful for the tests. She not very organized when it comes to collecting homework and giving back paperwork. When working on a problem she writes way too fast and doesn't give enough time for students to copy it in their notes.

Awful. Class was a basic lecture, but more or less she wants things done her exact way, She did mess up on examples from time to time and didn't really have control over the class. It's not that she herself was terrible, she was decent enough but the combination of all the above and needless group work just made class just bleh.

'Lectures' are nothing but examples from the book, already explained on there. Gets lost easily when explaining, sometimes wrong. Group projects in a math class?! A waste of time. Note, her degree is in German so it kind of makes sense. She's a nice person, I've had only A's in math but she is just not a good professor, for calc 2 at least.

Poor lecturer. Relies on students to teach. Loosely follows the syllabus and assigns an unreasonable amount of work, especially since she does a poor job conveying information, or just requires you to learn it on your own. Does a poor job meeting learning objectives. Does not clearly communicate what is required or where you even are in the book.
