Awful teacher all around. Confusing lectures and very little enthusiasm.

Pretty good lectures may be kind of hard to hear since she has a soft voice. Gave lots of example for her notes, her HW was harder than what we were tested on, and so were her study guides, so no real surprises on the exam. Compared to what friends told me about other 34A professors, I am very grateful I got her.

Never attended lecture, she put all of her notes on Gauchospace. She posted both a practice final and midterm which were pretty difficult, but were excellent in preparing you for her tests. If you know those practice tests you'll definitely have success in this class

Very organized with lectures and clearly explains stuff in examples and ties everything together

Her lectures were not helpful at all, she tends to "talk with herself" and ignore students' question. She is probably really smart so it was hard for her to lower to students' level. Lots of her exam problems are from recommended book problems. I got an easy A by going to CLAS.

Homework - Takes so long but outlines a lot of what you are tested on. You need to read the book and do the homework. She isnt that helpful and she is pretty clueless about a lot of the material. Its hilarious, go to OH and she wont be able to answer a single question you have unless its adding vectors or taking a derivative LOL

Though she was a sweet professor, many of her lectures are very unclear. Even when I asked her for help via email, she did not clarify any of my questions. Going to office hours didn't help too much either. Hope for a good TA and go to them for help.

Always give lots of examples on lecture. Homework is not too much. Some questions in two Midterms are beyond the class (which will be taught on the next week). Ridiculous right?

She took the time to explain the material multiple times and took time to do a lot of examples in class. Not really much communication about how to prepare for midterms though or grading policy.

she gave 19 problems for the final exam... HW due in class at 8 a.m. Though she did not take attendance, she use quizzes to drag you out of bed......

She's a little bit quiet but definitely audible. She's very good in office hours and the homework load is reasonable. As long as you attend class and go to CLAS you should be fine.

Not sure what the previous rating is talking about. I sit in the back of the class every lecture and she is audible every time. Homework can be a little annoying at times, but it's doable. The midterm was much easier than the homework at least.
