She's a good prof and very helpful and willing to spend time with you in office hours. But you are never sure what to expect on quizzes.

Fun teacher. She's very intelligent and confident. Quizzes are 50/50 if you're gonna do well or not, even if you study. Lecture is very important/useful, she's great at answering most questions, and she's very helpful. I learned a lot from her and would recommend her to anyone. She's not easy or hard, I'd say a good middle.
