- memorize formulas when you're asked to memorize them - do NOT fall behind with calculus homework -always ask questions if you don't understand -retake all quizzes, even the ones you don't fail

Do the homework and try your hardest. Don't slack or you'll regret it and do all the extra credit that she offers.

Trust the teacher! Just do what she says, and an easy 5 on the AP exam is guaranteed. Furthermore, you'll be chilling with a 100 in calculus! That's literally how good this class is. (yes, I speak from experience)

Do the practice quizzes as if it was your homework

The teacher works SO hard to make sure calculus is as simple as possible. She goes through textbooks, interprets their meaning, and teaches in a really really clear manner. She makes sure the practice problems we do are really helpful to our learning-she goes through countless questions from many sources, such as the authentic past exams, work from other teachers, etc, and hand picks the BEST ones for us. I learned 100 percent of the class from her and her organized notes, and another 100 percent from the really deep questions. No CAP. On GOD. This class was my most successful class ever. Straight 11/10.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. She can drag you to success in her class, but you have to meet her halfway.

Absolutely loved this teacher. If I did well in Calculus it was because of her.

Mrs. Doyle is an awesome person and awesome teacher, and sometimes it may seem like she's overworking you, but she 100% knows what she is doing. She doesn't want you to pass; she wants you to get a 5. If you keep up with her, you will not regret taking her class. Mrs. Doyle, if you're reading this, thank you :)

Mrs. Doyle is an aggressive teacher but in the end it’s her job because she teaches well
