MATH 221
Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Ann was awesome! I took calc in highschool and did terribly. She was so clear with all of the material and definitely willing to help anyone who needed it. Because of her, I understood calculus so much better and was able to almost always pull out an A. Definitely try to take this class with her.

Easily one of the best Calc 2 teachers at UW. I would highly recommend anyone taking a math class to try to get her as the teacher. Exams are very straight forward. Pay attention in class and do the homework.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Scheels is an good professor with easy exams. It was nice to have a professor who I could clearly understand and who told us what to expect for the exams instead of trying to trick us. She doesn't test your "cleverness" (her words). I would take her again in a heartbeat for any other math course here. Great experience.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Ann is the best prof for calculus at UW, period. I dreaded this class before the semester and now I actually miss doing calculus problems. She lets you know EXACTLY what you need for exams, and doesn't try to trick you with stuff you've never seen. I'd take her again in a heartbeat for any math class at UW.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
She was very easy to understand, but she made a lot of mistakes when she did problems during lecture. Gave an awesome review for the final (I got a 97.5!). Go to lecture and DO THE HOMEWORK! It really helps.

Ann is a wonderful professor! She used to be a math tutor and you can tell, as she is a really great teacher. Her grading is very fair and before each tests she goes through a 'laundry list' which tells you EXACTLY what will be on the exam! So helpful for studying. Keep up on homework, and go to office hrs. Take her if you can!
