EMA 303
Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
Her lectures aren't the greatest. You're better off just reading the textbook since that is all the lecture slides cover anyways. The in-class examples are decent, but most of the time she rushes the important part.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 5/5
Lectures were a little too fast paced during the examples and sometimes the class examples were left unfinished or skipped a few steps. Other than that, she did a good job at presenting the material. I wish the exams were closer to the homework questions too.

She explains the material well and followed the textbook pretty closely. Because there is no discussion section, asking questions during lecture is important and Henak answers them pretty well.
