Pros: Very enthusiastic, loves the subject. Goes through the material slowly. Lowest test grade is dropped.
Cons: Tests are incredibly hard, whole semester grade is based on three tests.
She made the material easy to understand. The tests are cumulative so its a lot to study. You have to put the time in outside of class if you want an A.
