Dr. Dwyer will give you one of the best experiences with Calc BC you'll get at any school. She's well-spoken and encouraging and truly a great teacher. If you feel like your skills are weaker I would highly recommend you try to get in her class. She explains concepts very tangibly and visually and is personable and motivating (I did really bad on her first test but she encouraged me to stay in the class for at least another unit and I am so glad I did). She genuinely made me like math more. However, this is a difficult course and it moves quite quickly. There is HW almost every night and it's graded on correctness; I wouldn't say it's a horrible amount and it really helps you do better on tests, but it's time consuming. The coursework is difficult but def manageable. Go to her open office hours before school and during her frees if you need help, she will explain if you ask her.

The homework is graded by how many you got right instead of completion which can be time consuming so make sure to be 100% focused and present in class.

She is a very nice and funny teacher, but the homework is a lot and very hard, but if you focus in class and listen to her you will do good!!!!! However do not get on her bad side
