webworks are very important and should not be taken lightly. If you do the webworks and pay attention in class then you will breeze through the exams very easily.

Do all your webworks and take all the notes in class, her tests are an exact reflection of her notes and examples done in class. Ask challenging questions from the webworks to be done in class, they may appear on tests. She posts all the lectures online, the examples are good practise.

MY QUEEN. Love galyna. By the time you finish her class you will be an expert. Webworks every single class but they help so much and forces it to be engraved in your mind. She can't explain things well if her life depended on it but her notes are amazing so it balances out. Her final exam was extremely fair, so if you did all the work you should've been fine. She expects you to memorize everything like you have a degree in it. This will be the class that will take up most of your time and effort.

Not going to lie, Linear Algebra was an intense class to do online. There were a lot of notes to write and the prof sent Webwork assignments for EVERY. SINGLE. CLASS. I didn't like that when I asked for a 1-on-1 office hour appointment she made me ask my peers the questions I had intended to ask her (but that's just me and my social anxiety). She always held class sessions and made an effort to engage students as much as possible. It seemed like she genuinely cares about her students understanding the material. She is very generous with Webwork extensions and was generally understanding when students asked for some leniency. It should be noted that she is stringent when it comes to tests. She expects work to be presented in a certain way and WILL deduct marks if you deviate from her instructions. That being said, she does not abuse the red pen. If you attend classes, ask questions, and do the work, your grade will reflect as much. :)

this teacher is a very fair teacher, she is fast paced and makes you work hard. Her exams are pretty easy if you pay attention in class. She can seem scary at first but is a very good teacher.
