Winter 2023 - Professor Vicaria is okay. She does not have the best lectures, but they are also not the worst. I do not know the overall grade distribution yet, but I believe that the questions on both midterms and the final were fair. In particular, you are allowed to bring a page of notes to all three exams and she informed us regarding one of the questions on the final beforehand so we can prepare for it. The homework problems were also good as she provided a large sample of problems and only a small portion was required. Math 61 is not a difficult class and your experience will be solid if you ever take it with her.
