Fall 2023 - I do not recommend this class. I wasted my time attending lectures because I would not learn anything. Concepts were overcomplicated and not explained well. Also, the class itself was always rushed and at the end, she taught so many chapters in a span of so little time and put those concepts on the final exam

Summer 2020 - COVID Edition*** I took this class with FSP. The Peer learning facilitators are amazing. If you come from a disadvantaged school or dont know anything about precalc you will struggle but I promise if you go to OH and schedule 1-to-1 meetings with the plfs you will pass with at least a C. Because of COVID the professor had to go really fast through the lectures which was not convenient but it's manageable. This class will require you to study a lot. Make sure you make study groups. There is two midterms and one final. If you do badly in the first midterm exam you can still pass the class. Professor provides a textbook and he's open to having zoom meetings with you. His writing is a bit sloppy and hard to understand but literally if you ask he will read out loud what it says to you. He wants to help you and so do the PLFs. They are really nice. The exams have about 10-12 questions but multiple parts to it. I recommend reading through the chapters before class to get a jist of what you'll be learning. I HIGHLY recommend asking questions so he can hear your voice. I promise he is the nicest person ever. The plfs are also really kind and have all accommodated to virtual learning appropriately. If you know precalc youll do fine! Goodluck !
