Course director for my class, makes exams VERY hard and boasts about motto fall behind, get left behind. Overall, she doesnt care about you passing and it seems to be fun for her to make this a hard course.

Comment:

Her motto "Fall behind and you get left behind" She doesn't care for her students, she goes through things so fast. You may as well copy the notes then study it at home later, seeing as you already need to teach yourself everything at home already with her "flipped class" method. I could go off on her fore hours if there wasn't a letter limit here.

Comment:

She could not care LESS about her students, everyone I know who took her classes failed out, dropped, or had to retake the course. She repeatedly encouraged students to drop her class instead of seeking help with learning the material if they had a poor grade. Rarely available or willing to offer help. Made students feel bad for asking questions

Comment:

Ann is the worst teacher I ever had for calc 2 period. Don't take this class on the summer. She seems nice like she cares about the students but in the end you see how she truly is. I would take any class with her again !!! She gives a lot of homework just goes thru some questions, basically you need to teach yourself at home. "CALC 2"

Prides herself on knowing all the names of her students, and remembers you even years after you take her class. Helpful and friendly during office hours. Truly wants to help all of her students pass.

Ann is a great professor. She makes her students a priority and made sure she knew all our names by the end of the first week. Really understands her students and always tries to help. Definitely one of my favorite professors at MTU.

Comment:

My favorite prof thus far at Tech. Always responds promptly to emails, and will go out of her way to find time to help you understand the material even if you can't make her office hours. Calc 2 is a hard class, but if you work hard on your own and use her as a resource when needed, Humes makes an A in the class completely doable.

AMAZING! She taught very, very well, our class actually broke the mean record for one of our exams. She is funny and but gets to the point in each lecture. Strongly recommended.

Comment:

Well, I was going for a math minor until I took this class. The material was not actually "taught." She just tells stories, goes over problems, and calls on people. Quizzes were too long to finish (only a few people did). I didn't even get to the exam, I care too much about my GPA. Avoid this professor if you can.

Calc two students: be ready to teach yourself. She talks more about her family than lecture material. Lectures consist of re-writing her notes because she has no idea what she is doing.

Comment:

Horrible instructor to have for Calc 2. She made mistakes constantly and students corrected her daily. Her "exam reviews" are as about as useful as doing yoga to study. The jokes she tells make Walmart greeters look like comedians. When you look at these ratings, keep in mind they are mostly for Calc 1 & below. Be ready to teach yourself.

She may have been great for calc one, but for calc two she has absolutely NO idea what she is doing. I would have picked taking it online over with her. GOOD LUCK.

Glad I got to be her first class teaching calc two. She had NO idea what she was doing, and only read of her notes. In my eyes, she was the worst math teacher at tech for sure.

Comment:

She is a wonderful professor. She is always there and has a very flexable schedule. Wants to see you pass the class. P.S she is one of the only American Math professors in the Math Department that knows what she is doing. I totally wish I had her for my other math course. Also, she is funny.
