Goes over material in the class too fast, but we basically finished the whole textbook (from 5-17).

Sigrid is a super nice teacher, and she really cares for her students. However, her tests seem to be quite different than the textbook questions, assignments or class examples.

Took her for 1150 and 1250. 1150 was way easier when it came to tests and quizes. In 1250 she tries to confuse you a lot more. Goes at a very slow pace, easy to understand topics but makes you want to sleep sometimes cause she goes waaay too slow. Do your homework assignments in class, saves time and you wont miss much.

Each lecture is just taking a ton of notes, with one 15 minute exercise near the end of the class. She goes too fast so if you let up for one second, you'll be completely lost. Doesn't give an opportunity for students to ask for clarification. Notes aren't enough to do well on tests, you need to fully understand the concepts and do extra exercises.

Classes are useless as all she does is lecture. Doesn't create a clear picture of material, if anything she makes it more confusing that if you read it yourself.
