I've always struggled with math; not my cuppa tea. Roberta pretty much scared the heck out of me when I first saw her. Not that she looked scary (not at all, she's a smiley pretty face!); I guess I didn't know her. But knowing her then, and learning from her, was the best math experience ever! She's simply the BEST!!! (Hello Bobbi P.) (",)

Be careful if taking this course over the summer, it is intense. This professor knows the concepts but teaches the material at a higher level. You will do tons of word problems, you must do hours of homework each day in order to keep pace with the schedule. The final is difficult, you will fail it if you don't do the homework word problems.

Professor Pardo was very strict and not a nice grader. Doesn't explain things well at all when questions are asked. Yells at the class when we all didn't understand something. A lot of homework and group projects and you have assigned seats. Only had 4 tests including final but pay attention to notes.
