  Overall, Carol was an okay professor. She taught 119 basically through handouts, which never had a similar layout, and online homework via webassign. Webassign is my biggest complaint in the class mostly because it was more irritating and for me, not conducive in the learning process. There is weekly homework both online through webassign and bookwork with two midterms and a final. It is doable, but webassign is a pain to deal with. Also, if you do well on the final she replaces your lowest test score with that grade. Not a great class, but if you have to take it, it won't kill you.

Report Evaluation
  If you take Simard, you have to be prepared to learn on your own. Her classes can be confusing and unclear. Her office hours can be helpful. She's a much better teacher one-on-one. I did fine in the class because I was remembered a lot of stuff from my high school pre-calc class. However, I had friends that are not good at math in any way, shape or form. This class was pure hell for them. If you have absolutely zero talent in math, then this is not the teacher for you.
