Fall 2019 - If you're taking this class because you never took calc/want a refresher, you probably don't need to. There is little to no math involved in this class, which makes it pretty easy. Jane is a very slow lecturer, and it was difficult for me to pay attention during class, but the class is BruinCasted, which is a huge plus. Overall, I think this class was a waste of time, and I wish I would've just started with 30A. However, I enjoyed the coding we learned in lab (except it was a little hard at first), but the TAs are very nice and helpful.

Fall 2015 - I loved this professor. She was super nice and always helpful and willing to answer questions. For the most part the tests matched the homework/lecture content though she did throw 1 or 2 tough ones in there! Overall I thought the grading was very fair and I felt pretty confident about all the material by the end of the quarter.
