takes a while to understand her. but overall, she's really kind and understanding. helpful in office hours. tutorials are also really helpful. midterm and final were long but easy enough if you do all the homework.

Comment:

Pretty good professor overall. The midterm and final were both extremely fair. The lectures are for the most part clear. The only downside is that she writes the textbook and there are only example questions, no introduction or theory to the chapters. In addition, the weekly quizzes were pretty easy. If you study, you will get a good mark.

Comment:

I had stats with her, and got a decent mark. Tip for math classes: Do your homework. It's not mandatory like first year but if you do her problems, you'll do well in the course. The midterm was difficult but its easy to bounce back since she makes the final worth 65% plus bell curves. Don't quit after the midterm because the final is easier

Comment:

I'm going to be honest here. She seems like she is a nice person, but she is not a good prof. More than half the class dropped out after the horrid exam which majority failed. Her tests are hard and the final is worth 60%. I regret not taking this class in Chang. Also, she is a picky and hard marker.

Comment:

This class is actually not hard. People drop out because they haven't figured out how to study for this class. 1) There is a pink book and a green book. One has solved problems and one has problems with no solution. READ and UNDERSTAND the solved problems, then SOLVE the unanswered problems. 2) Tutorials are how you learn, not lectures.

She is a nice lady but its hard to understand her, her midterm was easy final was horrible, lectures are long and boring and her accent kind of makes it worse.

Not looking forward to taking this with her again. She is the reason why I am willing to stall until 8th semester to take it. *cross fingers* (hoping there would be another choice.)

Comment:

This prof is so old school and boring. Her slide notes are from the dark ages and she uses her own personal written books. Who does that? An instant income as statistically she will know how many books she sells per year. Would not be so bad if she could provide up to date slides etc.

Bozena is one of a kind she is genuine very old school. It might be hard to understand her form the first two classes because of her accent. She teaches form her heart. I leave each lecture and ive learned something.

Comment:

The worst teacher I've ever had. Was on track to get a low C, dropped it, and took it again with another instructor, and ended up with an A+. Who in 2013 thinks it's ok to use a handwritten, self-published textbook? Word to the wise, talk to your department because MTH304 is equivalent for many, and taught by a much better prof.

Comment:

She knows her stuff, but she is not great at getting her points across. Very rude and disrespectful. Not helpful when you ask a question. The material is easy, but her notes are not easy to follow. Gives poor marks unless the answers are done EXACTLY her way. Not the worst, but certainly not the best prof.

Gives zeroes unless you do the problem exactly how she would. Doesn't bell curve.

Comment:

I can't say much that hasn't been said. She tries to keep the average around 60 for her classes. The material is not hard, but her teaching method made it hard for me. In 1 hour, the TA could teach what she taught in 3 hours.
