The material is difficult, but she provides really detailed notes for each unit. She also genuinely cares that you understand - she is willing to stop and explain and is very accessible and nice.

She is very nice and always willing to slow down the class to a better pace. Homeworks are a little hard but are good practice for exams. I just had two midterms and a final with homeworks for my grade. She has a little accent but not that hard to understand. As long as you can get the general idea of the concepts, easy A.

She is very nice and helpful. Always willing to slow down the class to answer questions and provide help. Homework twice a week, overall, not difficult to manage. Extra credit on the midterms. Midterms were a little difficult but she goes over all the concepts clearly, so just pay attention to the lectures and study. She grades very fairly.

Overall, pretty good. Standard professor. More homework than most but has clear grading standards. Goes over the material kinda fast, but is willing to slow down. Midterms were a little hard, but she's very lenient on submitting.

i really liked her as a professor but she is not very good at responding to emails. she is extremely nice during office hours and is willing to give lots of help, but the difficulty comes from the difficulty of the course, not her. although, she is a little bit stingy with giving past exam answers. professor liu gives out more material than she doe

Professor Espinosa is very caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable. She is open to answering questions and receiving feedback. The homework is manageable, and midterms have extra credit. As a result of her good teaching and relatively lenient grading, this class is relatively easy. I highly recommend Professor Espinosa!

Prof. Espinosa is an amazing professor! She cooperates to help you succeed which complements her charming personality. Overall, take her to avoid reading a textbook because she gives you the class notes with the solutions. If you want to boost your GPA, take her! You will not regret it.

Lovely person. People are quick to dislike her lectures because she has a non-native accent, which can be difficult to understand for some students. But she was extremely accommodating and a great teacher. Her notes were very accessible. Very kindly adjusted the amount of workload and grading so students can have an easier time. awesome person.

Professor Espinosa is a great lecturer who also curves very well. Although recitation quizzes and homework is a lot more difficult than the material covered in class, as long as you form study groups and study hard for the weekly quizzes you will be fine. The midterm and the final are much easier though!

Amazing teacher. Very happy I took her.

Silvia is one of the nicest professors I have ever met. She is very understanding and provides quite a few bonus marks on the midterms. It is a very easy class, but her lectures are sometimes hard to follow due to her accent. She provides notes beforehand, so it is not too bad overall!

While Espinosa isn't great at teaching, she is SO nice and kind. It's hard for me to criticize such a nice and caring professor because they don't come around too often. It is hard to understand a lot of the things she says, because of her accent, and the things that you can understand don't really make sense. But she's so nice and repeats tests!!

Hard class, but she is so kind and approachable.

Relative to other profs, she was the most forgiving and easiest DISCRETE prof (can't speak for calc). The format of discrete was horrible (2 prelectures, 10hr hw set, async quiz, and sometimes a polished proof, all in 1 week and repeat) but that's not her fault, as it was set by the course coord (Shum). Exams were not super hard if you studied well

Prof. Espinosa skips a lot of steps during her teachings, and sometimes it's hard to get a very definitive answer for your questions. Very important to do the homework and quizzes to help boost your GPA. The tests are very hard, but her curve at the end is AMAZING. Such a king and understanding professor who cares about her students' success!

Espinosa is a great professor she is kind and everyone to succeed. Downfalls are she has an accent and doesn't curve till end of the semester so grade can be scary. Most of the complaints I heard in this class come from the fact it is hard especially if you aren't great at math. If you study especially the problems we do in class you will do well.

I think if you're somewhat familiar with calculus (have taken it in high school), Espinosa is a very solid professor. The exams reflected the questions we did in class which was relieving because I always knew what to expect. She moves at a fast pace though, so there will definitely be a lot of self-teaching if you're unfamiliar with the material.

She's kind but not good at teaching, be prepared to self-teach. Weekly quizzes are EASY, two midterms are harder than other sections, average of 50s. The department final is way easier than her midterms. Overall not that bad, she only curve at the end of the semester.

Truly underrated teacher! Although her accent can be hard at times to understand, she is always there to help and prepares you super well for the midterms and final. If you put time and effort into the class, you will do well and get an A. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, going to class helps a lot. She also curves really heavily at the end!

It is a tough class with a lot of content covered and a lot of homework, but the professor is kind, responds emails quickly, explains clearly and does a lot of exercises in class.

The explanations are clear. I like that she provides notes and does a lot of problems. There are quizzes, two webassign and homework every week though, so get ready to work a lot! The quizzes are similar to class notes.

Prof Espinosa is the best, if you are not putting the necessary effort of course you are going to get a bad grade. The gradescopes + webassigns are SUPER HELPFULL!!! I would definitely take her again, even if she has an accent she does a good review before tests, and YOU RECEIVE A GOOOD CURVE!!

If you have taken a similar class before and understood most of the material well, you can do good. She is a very sweet, and caring prof who is willing to explain things to you and doesn't make you feel like asking questions is a burden. I will say, for first timers now learning the material I don't know if you will grasp it well.

An extremely kind person, very nice and friendly. Cares about students and their experiences.

Recitation quizzes are exactly like the ones in the notes. She is also a nice teacher and had good notes.

Professor Espinosa is a sweetheart. Her class was straightforward to follow along in, and she gave many sample exams to practice with before exams. She's very funny and very sweet and she'll work with you outside of class if you are struggling. She also gave great curves for all of the exams.

everyone complains but its probably because they didnt go to lecture. the class before exmas she essnetially shows u what the exam questions are and so if study those you wil get a good grade on the exams. show up and u will do fine

She is a really nice and friendly person, and will try to help you in any way she can. Depending on the class performance, can give good curves, extend deadlines for assignments etc. If you want a professor to teach you however, she is hard to understand and sometimes confuses you. Not an amazing professor, but a amazing and kind person.
