She revamped the course, so it's not pure math. Lot of work, but straightforward. Do your assignments on Sunday, take the quizzes on Tuesday (write down questions & answers) and you'll pass easily. Three tests that come straight from the quizzes. Beware of what you ask her. If it's in the syllabus, she will call you out on it via email to everyone.

Easy A, took it as a winter mini while out of state doing assignments in hotel rooms and didn't break a sweat! Very flexible with what we watch or read, love reading other's writing and quizzes were unlimited. The final was extra credit and optional so do everything on time and try on the quizzes and you have to get an A!
