The class is not easy, but you learn a lot. Attending every class is a MUST, not because there is an attendance taking there no attendance taking at all, but if you will miss a lecture you miss tons of important material that will be extremely difficult to learn on your own. If you follow her lectures and notes from every class, do as much of the homework as you can before the exam, I would recommend ALL of it. You will be able to do well on the exam, otherwise, Good Luck. There will be no cheating sheets on the exams, and she really makes sure that no body cheats. There are many different versions of the test. Total of 3 midterm and if you satisfied with you grade by then you don't need to take the cumulative final. Also there are 2 take home quizzes. Good Luck!
