It's a weed-out course. It's made to be hard, and it is. But Dr. Kline does a great job teaching, and there are many opportunities to get bonus points and extra help (when there is space in SI).

Great! She loves teaching and is very good at answering questions and offering bonus points.

It's hard, and that's okay! Don't be afraid to get help and use your resources; they are there for a reason.
