Comment:
She is nice and helpful lady. But I think she expects too much from students with pre and post lecture quizzes. Assignments are long but fair. Plus, she is always there to help. Overall, if you work hard you can get a A in this class. I found it easy but I had done differential calculus in high school.

Lyn's classes were great! Easily my favorite prof I've ever had. If you do all the homework she assigns and go to her with all you questions you'll do fine. I got very good marks on both the group projects for 1120 and 1220 and those really boosted up my marks.

Easy A. Fill in the blank note packages. Weekly assignments and 1 Maple project, all easy and a guaranteed 24% of your grade. Only two midterms, both fairly easy and include bonus marks. No textbook required for this class. Tons of office hours and willing to help. Make sure to watch videos on the material before class or else you'll get lost fast.

The class was pretty easy for me because I had done calculus in high school. Just make sure you know you algebra because she loves to put hard algebra questions on her exam. All in all differential calculus is fairly easy. Do the homework and you will be fine.

Lots of homework, but no time for it, nor is there a understanding of how to do it for the most part. One Unit each class, but doesn't have a very clear explanation for most of them. Likes Theorems a lot! Midterms are DIFFICULT. STUDY STUDY STUDY. Make time. Ask her anything! She is extremely helpful. Just be a good student.

Horrible professor! She gives no time for assignments and discussion since it's an online course. If you submit late -50% on your grade. Ridiculous!! Also she makes the discussion and assignment questions extremely long and difficult. Just horrible!!

100% avoid. (1) She goes through a whole unit each class. (2) She only does 3-4 examples per unit. (3) She expects you to have taken calculus in grade school. (4) She expects you to have learn the material on your own time from her laughably small note packages. (5) She only provides some of the answers to voluntary homework.

She's alright. Good teacher, just a hard marker. Project was a bit tough for me as I wasn't that familiar with maple but overall good. Do the pre-readings and attend classes, that's all you need.

Comment:
I DISAGREE with her teaching method. YOU do pre-readings, and she expects you to have understood it well before class. She then talks for 10-20 min, and leaves the class to work. (she doesn't teach enough!). shes helpful outside of class though.

I found her to be a very good prof. As long as you keep on top of the homework and go to her for help if you need it then it's not that hard to pass her class.

Comment:
Also, she doensn't know how to make exam. It takes a way long to solve her problems. It's not because the problem itself is hard. She makes every fraction so complicated like 17/115+53/119+37/39. Apparently this is not calculus class. It's just complicated algebra!!

Comment:
I got A in this course, but wanna tell other students, avoid this teacher!! I still don't know how she came up with the calculation of percentage for my midterm. Apparently, she does know Calculus, but simple algebra. If you take this teacher, there is possibility that your actual score gets lower than real.

Doesn't give enough in class examples, making it very difficult to do assignments, goes through problems way too quickly and wastes class time letting the class work on the questions in class.

Comment:
I faild thr clas, took it with a different professor, did the same amont of effort, and got a B-.She adds EXTRA materal to the course. I dont like her teaching method. First she wants you to downlod and print notes and do a "pre-reading" before class, and does a few examples then walks around and helps ppl who need help which every1.
