Spring 2020 - The class wasn't bad overall, but it was online because of COVID19 and there were a lot of technical issues. Aside from that, the grading scheme consists of only tests: 30% for each midterm and 40% for final, but she adjusted it into three different grading scheme because of blm, which I thought was accommodating since the department wouldn't allow finals to be cancelled. I thought the tests were pretty straightforward; they were nothing tricky so as long as you study enough you will be fine. There are no homework for the class, so some things I recommend doing are reading the textbook, going to lectures and taking lots of notes, going to discussions if your TA is helpful, and doing the mindtap problems. Also, go to office hours with questions, she's pretty helpful during OH. She even gave 2% extra credit if you do a mindtap assignment near the end of the quarter.
