    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Both the TA and professor are extremely helpful in teaching the material and are always willing to help you if something is unclear. Although it does help to have a background in Calculus from high school, the class and the professor are very helpful in making sure you do not fall behind.
