She gives out her notes for each lesson and those are very important as a study and learning tool. She teaches very well but her tests are hard. The questions almost always require a deep understanding of the concept. A common thing she will do is give similar questions to the ones done in class but replaces all the values with radicals. This is why it is also important to have a solid grasp of algebra 1 topics such as radicals and exponents. She might also now and then take problems from previous tests. The most important takeaway is to study all the material she gives you, even if it seems insignificant and study it well.

Distant learning, so responces may not be accurate

The tests are really hard so you need to study a lot beforehand. Most of the class is lectures and notes so you need to pay close attention to everything or else you won't do very well.

She is a good teacher with a good sense of humor but, make sure to spend to time to learn everything carefully.
