Comment:

Great teacher. Don't buy the book, it will confuse you more than helps you. Just take good notes when she lectures in class. She offers great examples and constantly asks the class if they understand everything before she moves on. Ms. Anaya chuckles in class all the time, it's endearing. Math is always a harder topic but she makes it bearable.

Prof Anaya knows her stuff, she goes through the steps for all the math problems. Hard class just show up and ask for help. Great teacher you just need to pay attention. Test are way harder than quizes.

Comment:

My suggestions are come to class and take good notes to make this class a breeze. You don't have to read the book except for scanning 1 chapter. Everything is written on the board and can't be clearer. She is somewhat of a hard grader since there are only 3-4 written problems on exams. Grades on a curve, but it is to benefit the class.

Comment:

Go to class and pay attention! She is VERY CLEAR and goes over everything the easiest way she can. The hw is from the book but is not due but the quizzes are like it. Do practice problems and read over notes to study and you'll do fine on tests and quizzes. Highly recommended!

Comment:

Excellent, down-to-earth examples. Quizzes after last lecture of section. Clear, coherent, and always happy to help. Exams and Quizzes are challenging, but quite reasonable if you do all of the suggested homework. You will actually learn from her. She is retiring after Spring 2010, so take her class now. Warning: Grades on a curve.

The class is not very difficult. The only thing difficult thing is her grading. She will deduct a lot of points for small mistakes. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW HER DIRECTIONS. Her project was difficult because her instructions were very confusing. I got a B+ and i didnt even try..........

Comment:

Professor Anaya is sooo helpful. She's very peppy and giggles at her own jokes. She goes over everything. If you have questions she'll make sure you understand. Tests are fairly long. Quizes are SUPER easy. Don't make my mistake, show up to class! Missing quizzes can hurt you badly.

Comment:

It is a hard class, tests are 10 times harder then quizzes. I have never seen any instructor deducting so many points for minor errors. She grades on the curve, but only 30% students will receive B and above, other instructors usually give more A. If you want a good grade, take someone else.

Comment:

Teaches the subject very clearly. Book is used for HW, though it is not collected. Is a tough grader, so don't expect an easy A. Normally puts 3 questions per exam, so points are deducted for slightest errors. Attending lectures is essential, since she teaches the best ways to solve the problems. Highly recommended.

Very clear and organized. Explains things very well and is a very nice approachable person willing to help. Quizzes are given when HW (HW doesn't count nor is it collected) is due. There are no surprises on quizzes or exams. I don't think you could have a better teacher for this course. Just keep up with the homework and you'll be ok.

Comment:

Its tough material, but she explains it very clearly with the examples she gives. Unfortunately she had to leave all her classes b/c she got sick - thats when i realized how good a prof she is; the replacements were tougher and diff. to understand, she was clear and to the point. Anaya is the prof. to take for 190, highly recommended.

Comment:

she shows you the easiest examples in class...the tests are 10 times harder. Basically, the quizzes are right off the hmwk, so do your hmwk and the quizzes will raise your grade....the better you understand the hmwk the more likely you'll do well on her exams. I had a B in the class the entire time, but then i turned the final in blank and got a C

Comment:

Very difficult subject matter, and the she may come off as a bit abrasive at first, but she was a good teacher. She is extremely helpful at office hours and if you show enough interest in wanting to do well it helps "curve" your grade even more so than the already set curve (which also helps a lot)!

Comment:

She taught clearly and concisely, but grades tough. I did not like her attitude either. She was definitely grumpy, blunt, and a bit self-absorbed. Her tests were difficult, and she was stingy with giving partial points. I got a D:( If you are like me, that if you don't like the teacher, then you end up hating the class...then pls DO NOT take her.

professor is nice clear lectures, make sure you do the homework even though she wont collect all but 1 assignment. The tests are VERY hard but if you keep up on the HW you should do decent. A quiz almost every week but that is to make sure students are doing the assignments. overall great professor

Comment:

The most organized instructor, knows her stuff inside and out and is high energy! She has no time for people that don't listen or don't do the work but is more than willing to help those that try. Do homework before class, take good notes, tests are from lecture/homework. I read about 10 pages of text. Math is my worst subject, I got an A-

She is a character with many stories about the author of the textbook. She gives excellent explanations of math problems, and is animated and lively.
