Comment:

Dorothy Fujimura is a tough teacher. Her lectures are based off of some examples from the textbook and then she assigns homework from the entire chapter so you have to teach yourself or go to tutoring. If she thinks you don't meet the algebra requirements she will ask you to leave her class. One midterm, 4 quizzes, and one final.

Comment:

If you want to be ready for calculus or any higher level math her methods of teaching will force you to learn. For math students she will give you a few quizzes a midterm and a final. No homework is graded, but do it, you will regret not doing it.

No student should have to take her class. She's terrible. Doesn't she understand that we go to school to learn and not because we already know the work?

Comment:

Professor Fujimura is undoubtedly a great teacher and cares for the learning of her students, albeit business calculus is no ease feat to understand, so it can be difficult for people to learn in-depth, which is what the professor wants. Unless one is completely invested in the course, they will find it very difficult to pass the class.

Comment:

She goes through material very quickly, without giving many examples. She basically expects her students to already understand what she hasn't taught. She does not grade homework so your entire grade depends on how you do on the tests and quizzes. She grades extremely hard, if you don't write out every step she doesn't give you credit for it.

very difficult. She can be rude when you ask a question in class. very tough grader! To pass this class you will need a tutor and to make a lot of time to study for what can be a simple math class with another instructor.

Comment:

I personally work very hard academically but have never never been very comfortable with math skills. I worked extremely hard in this course inly to play catch up. Mainly because her lectures are next to impossible to learn from and the textbook wasnt much better. She grades with extreme scrutiny not just your answer but all of your work.

Comment:

I would drop this class if you plan to take it. Dorothy makes you feel like an idiot if you ask any questions in class. She is a hard grader and puts questions on the tests that she does not cover in class. She cancels office hours almost every week so you cannot talk to her after class.

Comment:

She isn't super engaging. . She skips a lot of steps and doesn't really seem to understand where people are in the class. Doesn't go over basic concepts. Requires a lot of homework but doesn't count to grade. I wish I could have taken another teacher. But i was stuck because I was a transfer student so not a lot of classes were open.

The meanest teacher, she goes things really fast and doesn't explain it. At one point she even said "if you don't know how I got this answer I don't know why you're in my class." She reads the numbers of the homework super fast and won't repeat herself.

no matter how good you are in math, she will give you an F. Maybe the highest grade she gave was a D. She is very rude, and not engaging with students at all. Don't think of taking with her. She gave me an F and I am very good at math.

Comment:

Very nice person, but cannot teach. Expects you to know everything from all previous math classes. Her class is not curved and the way she grades is extremely strict. Not much partial credit for calculations. She is always willing to answer questions, but that doesn't mean she will answer them clearly.

If you ask for help she will treat you as if you are an idiot, and just tell you to go look at your notes. She's very rude, I wouldn't recommend anyone to take her class.

Tough class should only take if trying to get a PHD in mathematics. No help whatsoever on test must show every single step to receive points. Long tests may not finish in 2 hours.

DROP. Tough grader. Overall challenging class. If you're on top of the homework and definitely read from the book, and study as much as you can you will pass. Other than that, if you skip or don't do homework, you'll fail. Ask questions even if she makes you feel stupid. Will rip the pride of your math skills and tear them to shreds.
