Reviews of professor Shira Viel

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved taking MATH 111 with Shira. Her grading is tough but she clearly outlines her expectations and is also super willing to help you. If you put in the effort and go to office hours you'll be fine. Before tests, take advantage of practice problems and again go to office hours. If you took AP Calc in high school the class will be pretty easy.

Shira is a very sweet person but I found her leaving vital parts of lecture to the last 15 minutes too much. She cares to learn names even in a lecture hall. Take advantage of the recorded lectures, strong TAs, and Math Help Room. The tests are hard (even if you took calc before) but fair and you can correct the first 2 for half credit back.
