The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
A grades are possible, but students repeatedly say success requires homework, notes, attendance, studying, and surviving difficult tests.
Online reviews sound harder and more test-heavy, while in-person reviews more often say effort can pay off.
Is the course easy?
The math content is often described as hard or fast paced, though her explanations can make it manageable for prepared students.
Online reviews emphasize fast pacing and difficult exams, while in-person reviews include more praise for clear explanations.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is strongly important because missing class can make students fall behind, but strict mandatory attendance is not consistently proven.
Online and in-person reviews both warn that skipping hurts, but only some comments imply attendance pressure.
Is this professor recommended?
Many students recommend her for patience and help, but a large minority warn about workload, exams, and communication problems.
In-person reviews are more often positive, while online reviews contain stronger warnings about workload and exams.
