Mrs Peedin is awesome. She will definitely work with you and wants you to succeed. There are a good amount of web HWs, but they aren't terribly difficult. There is a webtest due the night before the in class test. You have unlimited attempts on those, which is nice. If you skip more than 5 classes she deducts pts. Textbook is online. I recommend.

Wouldn't take again

if you don't understand math very well, take someone else!!! she has a very annoying accent and explains everything in her advanced math language. just lets you watch her do worksheets in every class and constantly looks down so she doesn't see your hand raised. also moves quickly.

LOTS OF HOMEWORK

She's very didactic. She really breaks down the material and is happy to explain things again, if someone doesn't understand it at first. I really wish I could take her again for all my math classes. There's a lot of homework but I found it quite easy to get through them. Just show up to class and do your part, and you should be fine!

Absolutely amazing professor. For a large university she makes sure to know you if you wish to be known. So understanding and overall, just a great human being. One of the best professors I have had.
