Exams are of very reasonable difficulty. There is a ton of homework, but it can be done with time. Would highly recommend Ohm for this challenging course, she made it easy and digestible. ",

    "comment": "Dr. Ohm starts talking at the beginning of the lecture period and will not stop until 75 minutes are up. She packs a lot of content into MATH514&#8212;you need to be focused to keep up. Exams aren't too difficult, and she willingly gives extra time. I found the first two weeks the hardest part of the class. You'll use material from calc 2 and 3 a lot.",

She also made the tests much easier than they could've been which I really appreciated. Don't know much about the lectures because I never went, but she made it extremely clear what was going to be on the exams. ",
