Professor Warecki rushed through each and every lecture, questions are not answered only restated back to the person who asked, office hours are scarce, and she is a tough grader. Take one of the other MATH 4B professors instead. If you don't...then good luck and expect to teach yourself the material.

Goes way too fast in lectures, makes frequent mistakes on examples, and flies by essential test formulas not in published formula sheets. Homework is time-consuming but necessary for quizzes. Tests are hard, harshly graded, and closed notes. No lecture recordings or posted slides, just formula sheets.

Entire course is based off of exams and there's no curve. No clear schedule and she just tells us two days before each exam. Homework feels endless and yet none of it relates to exams, maybe relates to quizzes if you're lucky. Extremely nitpicky when grading. Doesn't post notes or lecture recordings, which is extremely unhelpful.

If you want to actually learn math that isn't very fast paced, don't take her class. She was barely able to read and gives the wrong grades most of the times. Shes a very nice person, but not quite so a professor who should be teaching. Her class ended up with almost half of the people dropping. Take this class at your own risk.

Rebecca is an amazing professor! She really cares about each and every one of her students. Her class is pretty fast paced, but she stops for questions and is never impatient. Go to her office hours for anything help you need, she'll go over anything you need until you're good. Make sure you do the HW and you'll be fine.

Talk to her and attend her lectures. She gives us tips and tools on how to tackle the problem. She wants you to succeed. Take advantage of her office hours, resources around campus. If you do the homework and understand it, you should have no problem acing the test. Don't shy away from asking questions.

Professor Warecki is an incredibly kind human being who wants her students to do well. Calculus is hard, so having a supportive professor helped so much! Her class will get you prepared for Calculus 3B as long as you do the homework. The homework is time-consuming, but if you are willing to do it, you will pass and do good on the exams/quizzes.

Extremely nitpicky with grading, going as far as marking you down for scratch work that doesnt have proper notation. Exams are scarcely related to the HW and worked out solutions are not provided so you cant tell if you have done the HW properly. You still have to show up to lecture because she may mention something obscure that will be on the exam

Super nice, but her lectures are just her doing problems as doesn't really teach and the homework takes about 10-15 hours a week and it's hard. Don't recommend

This is by far the worst teacher I have ever had. She never actually taught anything in class, just solved a bunch on problems in the board with little explanation on what she was doing. The amount of homework was ridiculous, and I failed the class despite doing every assignment. No more the 2-3 kids would pass her tests, and shes a bad teacher
