Comment:
I took her class through distance learning, so most of my correspondence with her was through e-mail. HW and exams made this class hard. It usually took her about two weeks to return graded assignments. About exams, I'd say 2/3 are taken from the homework. Review her solutions to the hw before exams. Review her podcasts when she posts them.

Comment:
This instructor tests and grades strictly but she is VERY positive and encouraging and takes time to explain things, and encourages students to come in and ask questions. She has a "YOU CAN DO IT" attitude and she will make you work!

McShane is a great great great teacher. The class is hard, but she really does want her students to succeed. I like her lectures, but her tests are sorta hardish just cuz of the material. After comparing her to other calc teachers, I am SO glad I had her.

I'm a math major, and I took calc with her. It was a hard class, and I wish I worked harder, but it was very worthwhile. She's a very good teacher, but you'll have to work to do well.

A great math professor, but she requires you to give a real effort (not that this is a bad thing). Students who float through courses without trying will want to avoid her classes. If you want to learn, however, she presents her courses very well.

320 is a really hard class. Her tests were hard, but I felt like I actually learned a lot. She is very good at explaining complicated concepts.
