Comment:

Professor Stanesa was always available to help. She was easy to get in touch with via email with a prompt response. Always available before/ after class. She could be a bit goofy at times, but that just makes more relatable as a person. I recommend taking this class. She gives you literally all tools needed to pass her class!

Comment:

Professor Stanesa was an easy professor. She did teach her material well but made a lot of mistakes which students usually catch. Tests every Friday and 3 exams in total plus a final. I saw no point in buying the book, I never used it, but if you struggle with math buy the book. Her tests and quizzes are very similar to her notes. Overall easy!

Comment:

Annette was a caring professor, with a ditzy personality. While she taught well, I think sometimes she tried to relate a little too much with the class in terms of being funny, which made me kind of bored of the class at times. Other than that, she teaches clearly and answers literally any questions.

Comment:

While she is nice she makes a lot of errors during class and is not very understanding. It can be hard to follow her during class because she makes so many errors and has to scribble them out and it became very annoying. I did not think this class was hard but I know a few in my class did end of failing. 3 tests in all and quizzes almost every week

Comment:

She is extremely nice and knows what she is talking about, however during lectures she talks the whole time never giving student the opportunity to finish the problem to check in if we know what she is talking about. All she does is do the problem on the board while we copy it down. She seems really shy and sometimes help is not all that helpful.

Comment:

Quiz at the end of every workshop period but not her choice, main professor's choice. Other workshop teachers did example problems with the students. In this workshop you'd get a list of problems to do for the whole period. When you'd choose to do the lengthy online homework instead because it was the same thing you'd be sent out of the room.

Comment:

I had her as a workshop instructor and she was awesome! She posts all the answers to homework sets on the board (which I learned not all instructors do which is absurd to me). She responds to emails very quick; even when I emailed her at 11 the night before a test, she emailed back within a half hour. Ask her questions in workshop. Very helpful!

Comment:

A great professor. Really makes calculus clear. If you go to lectures, take notes, review for the quizzes, take the practice exams you will be set to pass. You have weekly quizzes, super easy! 3 exams but the final isn't made by her. Her exams are exactly what she goes over in class and identical to her reviews. Super nice, can only miss 3 classes.

Comment:

I already was not good at calculus to begin with. I did well following along in class, and taking notes. I did not always get the grades I wanted on tests and quizzes because I would forget small things in problems. She is very picky about notation. Study hard and get help as soon as you sense an issue. I do think she has a great personality.

If you really want to succeed, go and see her in her office hours. She loves to help and explain things. I was struggling and she helped boost my grade a bit by giving me really good pointers.

Do homework, that's the best way to learn material. She provides guided notes. Go to class, you lose credit after 3 missed. She wants everyone to pass. Go to class, study homework, you will pass.

Amazing professor!! She posts print out notes before every class and goes through each example problem slowly and carefully. Always available for questions by office hours or email. Tests are not bad as long as you do the review she gives you. 2-3 question quizzes every Monday, but easy as long as you do the practice problems. 10/10 recommend!!

Provides printed out lecture notes that you can fill in as she goes. Gives study guides for each exam. Available office hours and reachable by email for questions. I would take her again if I could! I have not taken math in four years and I was able to pass!

Comment:

As long as you print out her notes, come to class, and do your homework/reviews then you'll be fine. The largest part of your grade comes from 3 exams then the final. Her reviews are exactly like her exams but make sure you do well on the 3 exams! The final is written by the dept head and looks nothing like you've learned.

She has a printout for every class so print these out and follow her notes in class and do the practice problems she gives you. Her reviews are very helpful for her tests.

Comment:

She has print out notes for each section, and we did 1-1.5 sections each class. She goes through pretty much every detail of all the problems step by step and is easy to follow. There are quizzes every Monday unless there's an exam that week. There's 3 exams total, and the final which was written completely different than all of the others.

Attendance only worth 5% of your grade. Quiz EVERY Monday aside from the week you have an exam. Makes many mistakes when she lectures. The final looked completely different b/c it was written by a different instructor. No extra credit, h/w does not count. Does drop your 3 lowest quiz scores. Questions? - she tells you to do the practice problems!!!

Comment:

She was a pretty good professor and seemed to explain the material clearly. The test are HARD and he have to really put in a lot of studying. Mostly upset about the final. It was impossible because it was in a totally different format that the other exams. Felt like I was looking at brand new material. I would recommend her but you must study!

She is a fine teacher. Aced every quiz and exam but failed the final because it was written by someone else and we did not learn a good portion of the final questions.

Comment:

You better know all of that algebra & precalc inside & out. Fast-paced class. Medium-hard quiz every monday except weeks with tests. may drop a couple low quiz grades but it doesnt matter because your grade is mostly your 3 tests, a small portion attendance & quizzes, and a THIRD of your grade the cumulative final written by DIFFERENT instructor.
