You'll need to study well in advance of exams because cramming is impossible in this class. Go to office hours if you are confused on topics, she is very helpful and caring. ",

Do not read the textbook, but EVERYTHING in lecture is fair game. Some exam questions are worded tricky, but exams feel fair. Do not procrastinate studying or you will fail. ",
