SPEAKKKKK!!!!! SPEAK UP IN CLASS LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. You can have a perfect 100 in tests (the easy part), and your grade will get DRAGGED down if you don't meet the weekly in-class participation quota. But other than that the class is simply amazing. She is very understanding and is willing to hear you out on many of the things that have to do with your grade. Also she sometimes gives unit tests in formats other than the "normal" format most tests come in, which takes the stress of it as well as truly gives a proper assessment of your understanding rather than basing it all off memorization, multiple choice, and free response which everyone really appreciates
