Her grading policy is severely unfair. My older brother had her years prior and she was a terrible, mean, unhelpful condesending teacher then and seems to have gotten worse now. Her responses to class questions are short and often sarcastic. Speaks "at" students rather than speaking to them and quickly gets frustrated like from a 1 to a 13 in an instant over a question, simply because a student did not understand it the first time. How she is still a teacher today when her terrible reputation among students and past graduates are well known are beyond me. She clearly does not enjoy teaching and her miserable mannerisms puts it on full display on a daily basis.

The teacher cares way more about formatting then actual correct answers. On most tests I would have only one real answer wrong due to a calculation mistake or some algebra error. The next week I would see I got a 60 on the test because I did not format the problems in a certain matter.
