Amazing teacher. I took her for calculus and she is super passionate about the course and makes the class engaging and interesting. She breaks down what will be on the exams and will help you during office hours. If you work hard and study you will be good. Really happy I took her.

Learn to take notes FAST, she moves at a mile a minute (Don't just take pictures of the bord, you aren't gonna learn anything). If you are passionate about math this will be your favorite class ever, if not, she might change your mind. It shows that she loves math and she loves teaching, and she's really knowledgeable about random topics. If you do all the Webworks and assigned problems in the textbook you're more than prepared for the tests.

she is an excellent cal teacher. i had her for cal 1 and cal 2 and couldn't recommend her enough. she goes fast in class but you get used to it. her tests are extremely fair and on the easier side and even if u don't do so well the final makes up for it! she's very sweet and understanding! take her!!

I had her for probability and statistics in my 2nd semester. Her in class projects are super easy and she didn't give us a final exam; we only had 2 tests. The webworks were a bit challenging but she is very helpful if you ask her questions about them. No quizzes were given, and she always posts the slides.
Class of 2023
Focus on finishing the webworks quickly. She unlocks all webworks so you can do them at your own pace. Review notes and do the required homework, especially if she highlights it, and you'll be fine. Overall a very nice teacher who is interested in her work, so if you focus and work hard enough you'll get an easy 95.

Tests are hard but final exams are more fair

She gives two projects throughout the semester, those are good to practice too. Be sure to write your work step by step and show every detail if you want a good grade.
