Hazel is a fantastic professor! Highly recommend. The class was structured differently than other math courses, and there were no midterms. As long as you do well on the weekly quizzes, you'll be solid.
Quizzes every week determine 70% of your grade and they are open note and easy.
The Professor is literally wonderful!! She's not out to get you but rather really wants the student to learn the material. 63% of the class is based on quizzes she gives out that are related to the course material.
Lecture notes were very well organized. She explains concepts very clearly and answers questions until the topic is understood for the most part. Overall, the class want very hard. Discussions consisted of a worksheet that was completed in an assigned group, so attendance was mandatory for discussions.
60-70% of the grade came from weekly quizzes that we were allowed 2 attempts on. Notes were extremely well-organized and recorded lectures mean you don't have to attend lecture. Final was on the easier end and she gave more than enough time to finish.
The lecture is organized and engaging. Homework is a good preparation for tests.
