Comment:

This was my third class with her, and I would take her again in a heartbeat! She's probably my favorite professor at EFSC. She gives a practice test before each test that's almost exactly like the test, and she walks you through all of the material in class. A lot of homework, but it isn't graded; you're only graded on your tests.

Comment:

Mrs. Edgar works through the lessons with you in class, and works through a practice test with you before each test. There's an extra credit problem on each test. There's a lot of homework, but it isn't mandatory. Your grades come entirely from your tests, but if you don't mind the work I would recommend taking her!

Comment:

Took Mrs. Edgar for Intermediate Algebra after failing it with another professor, and I loved the class! She assigns a lot of homework, but the work pays off and she offers extra credit on your tests if you do all of it. She gives a practice test that's almost exactly like the test, and works through it with you the class before the test.

Comment:

She can be tough and strict at times, but she knows her stuff and teaches very effectively. She knows how to make students understand her very clearly. Homework isn't required, but it is recommended. Her tests are heavily weighted, but she will give you a practice test that is almost EXACTLY like the test. And she goes over the entire thing!

Mrs. Edgar is awesome! Yes, you have to do the work. I hate Algebra: had to take 3 prep classes just to get into MAC 1105. I had her my 3rd prep class and she was so good I chose her for Algebra. She does go fast in class because she has a lot to get through. But she is available after class. She gives a study guide just like the test to prepare u

Comment:

I wouldn't listen to any of the positive reviews. She goes extremely fast, and literally will not answer any questions. She has verbatim told multiple people in my class "that's a stupid question" or "you should already know this material so I'm not answering that." Its ridiculous. Take whoever the other option is.

There are only test grades in this class, she gives homework assignments but does not grade them. If you are struggling I recommend doing the homework as practice. There are practice tests before every test that help immensely.

Comment:

There are only 2 options for PreCalc at EFSC. This instructor was better according to this site. It's sad these are the only options you get. Ms. Edgar reads verbatim from the book, goes fast, is hard/confusing to follow, her test grading is outlandish, homework assigned is disorganized, etc etc. I taught myself the entire semester using YouTube.

Comment:

Took Precalc Algebra and Essentials of Calc with her & I absolutely loved her. She works out problems before each test (she calls it the practice test) that are VERY similar to the test problems. I recommend doing the homework she gives, even though it's not required, and doing the practice test problems over and over before the tests. Love her!!

Comment:

She does not teach-she opens the book & does the examples(that are already worked out in the book) on the board-Thats it! No MML for practice, no graded homework for feedback/help, no handouts that she works through during class, NOTHING! Also, she is very nasty when asked questions. Basically, you buy the book & she reads it to you verbatim.

Comment:

I hated math with a passion. Then I took Mrs. Edgar for three classes and I now adore math. She is, without a doubt, the best teacher I've had. No quizzes, no homework (it was recommended, but not required), fair grader. She gave study guides before the tests, which were extremely similar to the material. If you take it seriously, you will do fine!

She is hands down the best math teacher I have had since the 7th grade. If you ever do not understand a lesson visit her and she will help you in any way you need. She breaks down formulas and concepts for easy understanding. I have taken her for intermediate algebra, college algebra, trig, and precalc. I wish I could take more classes with her.

Comment:

Edgar is very clear and organized, she teaches math so you can understand the concepts. If you don't get something, ask and she will explain it to you. Very reliable, homework after every class but it's usually not too hard, she gives study guides for the tests, no surprises there. If you do the HW and study guides, it's an easy class.

Great professor and very helpful to students who want it! She breaks down the formulas and builds a solid foundation for higher level math classes. Just doing your homework and studying the test reviews are all you need to succeed! See her during office hours if you need any help! She's happy to assist! =)

Comment:

I loved learning trig from this dedicated professor. Instead of memorizing a bunch of words and phrases, I actually learned the fundamentals and gained a better understanding of what I was solving. It's as simple as doing your homework and studying the test reviews that are given for each exam! If you want to do well, all the resources are there!

Comment:

Her teaching methods are incredibly confusing... She doesn't use the books ways of teaching so it is practically impossible to recreate anything she does in class. She moves VERY fast if you are trying and take notes and takes points off for everything on tests. All formulas must be memorized and you generally can't use a calculator. Don't take.

Comment:

By far the best math professor I have had at EFSC. She's not the most personable lady, BUT she really is an excellent teacher. She's clear and reasonable. She does a practice test before each test, that is nearly identical to the test itself. Take notes, study the practice tests, and you'll do fine! Her explanations are extremely easy to follow.
