Spring 2025 - Really great and low-stress math elective. Teacher is clear, keeps things simple, and writes very straightforward (and short) problem sets and exams. The material is pretty interesting (I had never taken algebra before and it was not too hard) and it is not proof heavy, she'll do a couple proofs in class but basically tell you you don't need to know them for exam. I had no idea what to expect but I liked it and definitely one of the easier math classes I've taken!
