Just a core class to get through, I think what type of Professor you have can really make or break your experience. I used webassign for this class and their god awful at explaining problems in depth. Mrs. Malhotra had really good notes the entire semester, gives a good window oppurtunity for makeup work and will curve your grades up if need be at the finals.

If your'e taking the professor I took. Just look at her notes, don't bother using the webassign notes. and work ahead. The textbooks pricy but what textbooks arent.
