"This class is taught way too fast and has way too much homework. At some point I just stopped learning and my mission was to just get the annoying amount of homework done. She is understanding and has a lot of office hours but sometimes they are not helpful as everyone is coming in to complete her hard homework. She also has this huge preference towards athletes but other than that if you like a fast paced class and you don't feel like you would need help on the homework then you should be good. "

"Professor Benedetto is great. Made lectures engaging (even if there were pretty fast-paced) and the exams were all very reasonable. Do the practice exams and attend office hours if you are confused on the problem sets and you will do well in the class."
