Dr. Bawn is one of the best professors I had in math courses. She gives engaging lectures and demonstrates the problems in a very "realistic" and straightforward way. I used to hate math in undergrad but now enjoy solving math probs because I can see the point of the abstract formula. Also, she is very easy on grades - this doesn't mean you don't have to work in her class, on the contrary, hard work, participation, and tests are all important to your grade. She just cares more about how much you learn from the class, the progress you made, and the depth of understanding of the course material. I learned a lot from her lectures, especially teaching method and class arrangement. She doesn't push you to target certain accuracy in problem-solving, but students are motivated to learn knowledge and the magic is the passion and joy she passes to everyone.
