ohh retirement for the old feller.

WHAT!?! Dude they're all gonna fail when they get into college! Honestly, Swann is the nicest person ever but she is terrible at teaching. She doesn't go over all of the student's questions, only a few that she wants. How come you're not teaching Calculus?

I taught Calculus (I) the previous few years but this year they have Calculus (II) and (I) and even though I asked, they wouldn't give me both. So, I just got Calculus (II) this year. Hearing from her students how it is going I feel bad for that Calc (I) class.

Its pretty bad when she takes a little more than a hour to take attendance then 15 minutes trying to get the class quiet and then doing the warm up then leaving.
