Pros: One of the most comprehensive professors I have had in a long time. Takes the time to explain concepts really well
Cons: Lots of proofs and lives up to the Calc II prerequisite, speaks with a heavy accent
Great professor! I really recommend taking her if at all possible. Since the TAs grade the exam, one grades hard, the other pretty leniently, expect mixed grades.

Pros: She is very good at dealing with the diversity in math backgrounds of the students in her class. She really cares about her students doing well, and you can tell.
Cons: Since the only prerequisite is Calculus and this counts as a 400-level math class, there is an extremely diverse group of students in this class. As a result, math majors will probably be extremely bored. People who have never taken any sort of theoretical math might be confused.

Pros: she knows what she is talking about
Cons: she is sometimes hard to understand and is very abstract in the kind of math that she teaches.

Pros: She tries her best to explain what we couldn't understand.
Cons: Her limitation in English makes it hard for us to communicate with her.
