Very difficult to understand. Works very fast and with the heavy accent, it is easy to get confused and if you don't rewrite your notes that day, you will forget what was being talked about. Most difficult thing, was not the material but understanding her.

She takes forever to explain easy concepts. Over half the class stopped coming to lecture after first week of class. The tests are very easy, she gives a formula sheet that basically hands you the answers, which is great but if you are good at math you will be very bored. Throughout lecture you hear people complaining about her teaching.

She is kind of hard to understand, you have to rely a lot on TAs so make sure you have a good one.
