If the answer is right but the work isn't adequate or an error in the work, she gives no points. Her tests are hard and she gives no review. If your late, just don't go.

True, Calculus is a hard subject, but I think this professor was able to make it understandable. If you do the homework (YOU SHOULD!!) and read over the problems she went over on the board you should be set. I received an A. My lowest test score was an 85. This was in the summer too.
