The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
Practice exams mirror real tests and extra credit helps, but homework and study still matter for the A.
In-person stresses matching practice exams; online still reports high grades with heavier homework complaints.
Is the course easy?
Math content stays real, especially calc, but her pacing and notes make it more approachable than average.
Both formats describe supportive teaching; difficulty still depends on the math level.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is repeatedly mandatory and skip-class tags warn you will not pass if you miss.
Mandatory attendance appears in both online and in-person reviews.
Is this professor recommended?
Roughly 90% would take her again and many call her the best math option at OCC.
In-person recommendations are almost unanimous; one online student would not retake due to homework.
