One of the sweetest teachers ever. She really wants to help you do your best if she sees you trying your hardest. Very enjoyable class!
Class of 2025
Be prepared to copy all the notes she provides, as she doesn't post them online. Also, memorizing the formulas is essential for her exams.
Class of 2020
Study the class notes and you should be fine
Class of 2023
Do the examples she goes over in class over and over again, the tests questions are the same. Very easy to get a good mark.

For online schooling, she posts all the class notes on Omnivox. Best notes ever. Does not make small talk. Gets straight to the class material. Explains everything in detail. Easy to follow. Fair exams, questions are very similar to the notes.

DO NOT HAVE HER AS YOUR CALCULUS 1 TEACHER!! I had to drop her class at the very end of the semester because I was failing really badly and so were the other students in my class too. Class average was usually around 58-62%. She reads off her notes, she doesn't explain throughly, she doesn't answer all questions, etc. Very hard to understand over Zoom. Doesn't give us homework at all. I bought my textbook for nothing because I did not even open it the day I bought it. Grades really harshly, you have to use her methods/demonstrations or else she'll remove points off (even when you DO follow her instructions and get the right answer, she will still remove points off if it's not to her liking). She doesn't review the corrected copy after the tests/exams and just sends us the PDF file. If you have questions about your exam, she won't answer them. If you want to "try" to pass her class, make sure to complete the WebWork assignments in time. I DEFINITELY would NOT recommend her to anyone who is thinking of having her as their calculus 1 teacher, especially their first semester. Don't make the same mistake as I did,
