Comment:

Pretty bad prof.. The lectures were sparsely attended, half because they were all 8:30s and half because she isn't able to clearly explain any of the material. Also really bad at answering emails! Good news: no final Bad news: instead you get a 3 hour midterm on the entire course material in week 12, two days after your huge final project is due!

I am asking a question, she is like: you should know the concept before do the question, and I already teach that in class. If you can teach things more clearly I wont asking you any question

Comment:

I can't understand her accent for the life of me and that makes understand the course content much more difficult. She is a nice person and will help you if you ask but communicating what you need help with can sometimes be hard for her to understand so be patient and explain in detail. The language barrier is real!

Screwed me over to the point I dropped a whole letter grade in the course and then wouldn't respond to my e-mails asking why. Worst. Prof. End of story.

Very unclear in lectures, almost impossible to follow what she is doing. I had to teach myself everything and it was pretty tough. The final exam was also very hard.

Not clear in lectures, too much time deriving the equations and not enough time on explaining concepts. Had to learn everything myself from the textbook.

She jumps around a lot when explaining examples, and she doesn't give a lot of information on how to do the work. You have to learn it all yourself.

Comment:

Lectures are brutal (long, unclear, gets sidetracked), but attend them since she takes exam questions directly from examples she does in class. Overall, a fairly ineffective teacher. Just do toooons of practice problems.
