Lectures are the most confusing experiences and she rarely provides usable feedback, often belittling students and rolling her eyes when a question is asked. Honestly, skip lecture and watch Plesha's videos, good luck.",

Still, you probably won't be able to understand what she is saying as she is quiet, monotone, and just doesn't make much sense. Be prepared to teach yourself everything because a rock has a better teaching ability.",

Lectures often don't take the full time because she doesn't explain where numbers come from in examples. Incredibly rude/arrogant",

If you can succeed at the homework, you will pass the tests. Lectures are good for introducing concepts, but in-depth understanding comes from homework. Trust me.",
