Well, she certainly is entertaining. One class she held her hair up with her hand so she looked like Alfalfa and started ranting on about something and I couldn't even understand, her chain that held her glasses was always stuck inbetween her nose, and she got into an argument with a student that lasted almost the whole class period. She also likes to say "Let's do it," a lot. I pretty much taught myself, but I used the examples she taught in class. She does it differently from the book and will give partial credit if you do it her way and not the books. I thought the teasts were fine because they were based on questions that she does do in class. I'm not good at math and I got a B.

Calculus with her was very difficult, but she is by far the most lenient grader I've ever seen. I think I had about 30% for the class, even after attending almost all the classes are studying hard for the exams. I explained that I needed to pass the class (obviously) to graduate and she gave me a C...have heard similar experiences from others. The semester will be challenging and nerve wracking, as she doesn't tell you what your grade is until you see it on WINS, but I don't think it's possible to fail one of her classes, so because of that I would definitely recommend her.

If u have a good grasp of math or can teach yourself youll be fine. Otherwise stay away.

I taught myself how to do finite math and will pass the class. She has a nice personality but teaching isn't one of her best skills. She does give you exactly what's on the test and 2 weeks ahead of time. The 3rd one was a whole month ahead. Your grade is 3 BEST TEST EXAM out of 4. Some math exam questions are worth a lot of points. For example, matrix was 40 pts, inverse was 35 pts. If you can't even do that, you've already failed. I wouldn't recommend her still.

Anyone who gave her a C,D,or F in the "ease" catagory is an idiot. She is the easiest math professor on campus. If you cant get an A or B in any of her classes than you should just drop out now. That's embrassing.
