Long-winded/not intelligent. Many of her slides give incorrect information. Don't bother coming to class except on review days. You can teach yourself the material from the book (it's easy) and then just figure out which things will be on the test. Very annoying woman to listen to, but if you're marginally good at math, take it for the easy A.

She can be a pretty dull speaker. If you do well with independent learning then take her. You may have to teach some things to yourself for better understanding.
