Calculus I is easy. But Terrie White makes it 1000x harder than how it is, because she cannot teach worth a crap.

Wants to fail you. DO NOT TAKE HER. Worst teacher of all time. She will show no pity, and wants you to teach yourself.

Pros: none. she sucks so bad. Only good thing is towards end of semester she reopens all the online homework to be completed.
Cons: Hate this b**ch. If you are .1 away from a grade you want, dont expect her to curve it for you. She is sloppy when it comes to teaching. You need to study your butt off if you want to do well on the exams, however they are not so hard
dumb. avoid her

Pros: She taught well
You have a lab every Tuesday and Thursday with a TA that goes over the topics learned the previous day.
Homework every other day
Cons: Quiz every Tuesday and Thursday
Tests were tough but if you do webassign, you'll be okay.
She writes tiny on the board

Your TA is the most important thing. You are TA dependent on your grade, White knows alot about calculus but teaches it in a odd way. She can be randomly generous to those who go to class. Also go to Review Session as they are usually remarkably similar to the test

She doesn't really go deep into explanation. I was able to pass with a high grade because I took this class in high school with a great teacher. One good thing is that if you ask she will usually push back homework if needed.

Pros: You can use any calculator on her test.
Cons: She is sometimes hard to understand ex. makes mistakes, writes to small, unorganized.
She is really a nice woman, just not the best teacher. Make sure to schedule a section with a math lab. My lab teacher was Asian and had a strong accent but I she was a much better teacher.

Pros: no projects or pop quizzes
Cons: lots of homework, doesn't communicate well at all, usually has trouble working examples in class
see list of above cons, and also you have to study a lot for her tests. they're not extremely hard, but they're definitely not blow-off tests.

Pros: My sexy TA Forest Gordon.
Cons: She's an idiot and cannot teach to save her life. I never made a B before in my life and have not since her class. That was with a tutor twice a week and my mother is a math teacher. STAY AWAY

Pros: Test were written, so partial credit was received for wrong answers
Cons: Webassign, larger sections, no idea what she is talking about
A horrible teacher, she has no idea how to teach and constantly gets lost during lectures. She is unavailable for office hours and is unwilling to accommodate you any LSU approved excuse. You must rely heavily on your teacher assistant to survive this class with Terrie as your teacher.

Pros: -supposedly her exams are the easiest of all the calculus professors
Cons: -calculus is a difficult subject in general
-her teaching methods are a little unorthodox and not really helpful in most situations
-most of the materials you have to teach yourself
Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org) taught me everything I know for this course.

Pros: Dependent upon the TA,the class had a lab to help explain homework or work other examples.
Cons: Study guides for tests were very vague. Would get upset if questions were being asked in class.
Not a bad class, my TA was terrible so I spent alot of time in the tutoring center.

Pros: gave several homework assignments that can pull up a grade if you do them
Cons: tests were not easy
sometimes she would put example problems on the board, but she didn't know how to solve them
white's an okay teacher. she has a lot of calculus knowledge but sometimes isn't able to teach it. most of the time, she's alright though. but her tests are not easy, you need to start studying for them several days in advance if you want to get a good grade. but she's willing to help you, and she gives test reviews which are really helpful.

Pros: Shes not rediculous.
