MATH 521
Quality 5/5Difficulty 4/5
She will give different explanations and proofs from the book so you have a lot of content to work from. She doesn't just teach straight from the book, she really wants to share what she knows with the class. One of the toughest classes at UW but worth the work.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Dr. Anderson is one of those exceptional professors you wish you had for every class. She makes everything easy to understand, even in a class like analysis! She also goes above and beyond when it comes to helping students, holding a ton of extra office hours and review sessions before exams. 10/10 would recommend.

Quality 4/5Difficulty 5/5
Is a recent grad and therefore teaches the theoretical tough material better than any older professor I've had. Knows how to make us understand really complex stuff.
