Comment:

I've both heard and read about many people enjoying Jill's classes, I however, do not. She moves through subjects too quickly and gives poor directions for assignments. I find our class almost always begins late as she takes her time getting ready for our lecture. On one positive note, she properly prepares us for tests and is helpful when you ask.

I found Jill to be helpful when you went in for help! She has a passion for math and teaching. Lots of stuff she does in class are things you could use in an elementary classroom. Try and go to all the classes as I found the ones I missed were what I got wrong on tests/assignments. Also make sure to start your portfolio early!!

Jill is an awesome teacher! I took math 112 and loved it. Taking this class was my favourite class! She cares so much about math and teaching that it makes it easy to learn. Piece of advice for for anyone talking Math 112 or 113.. Attend all classes and do your portfolio early.. And you will be golden!

Comment:

She was not approachable and often begun class ten minutes early. I found it overwhelming that the class was five days a week and when I looked at how she marked my test the numbers didn't make sense.

Comment:

As a teacher, she's mastered the class. However, as a person, she's not very politically correct, so be prepared for that. 80% of the work is done at home and the best piece of advice for this class is to start your portfolio RIGHT AWAY!

Comment:

Very helpful and clear on all assignments and tests. Especially so for 112 when she clearly tells you what's going to be on it. As long as you take the time to go to class and do the assignments (a great majority of which are done out of class) you can't get anything less than an A-.

Comment:

Jill is an amazing teacher, she has perfected both math 112 and math 113, the course load is hard, and there is alot to do outside of the classroom, but she explains what she expects and it is fairly easy to recieve an A if you merely show up.

Jill is by far the greatest teacher I have ever had. Her unique assignments actually teach you something about math that is useful and interesting. Her grace, sense of humour, and obvious care for her students makes her a terrific teacher.

Jill is an amazing teacher. She did the impossible in making me like math. She is approachable, her office is always open and she cares about her students. She made learning fun, I never skipped her classes. I would recomend her to any math student.

Jill Britton has perfected her craft as a math teacher! She keeps her students engaged and interested, as well as providing a strong platform for understanding the material. Jill pretty much bends over backwards for those students needing extra help outside of the classroom.

One of the truly great teachers I have ever met, and I've met many. Genuinely passionate, engaging, and dramatic (vital in teaching math). A refreshingly fair marker, accurately reflecting the amount of work/effort put forth by the student.

Comment:

Britton is the most talented, hard working and intelligent professor I have ever learned from. If anyone has written a negative comment, it is because they did not attend class or study, and therefore failed her class and themselves. As a future teacher, I strive to be as creative, enthusiastic and inspiring as Jill Britton.

Comment:

I have taken both math 112 and 113 and received high grades in both. I would like to say though that her test are frustrating because there are so few questions that it is easy to do poorly just from a few really minor mistakes. She marks each question out of so many marks it seems impossible to understand where the marks are coming from.

Comment:

Jill is an okay teacher. She is so loud which isn't great. I felt as though she had favorites and marked accordingly. She basically tells you what is going to be on the test so it's easy to ace her tests. It's a really slow class for those that understand math. Overall I didn't enjoy the class.

Comment:

If you decent understanding of math, this teacher will not be to your benefit. Jill is for the student who never understood math in high school. Some of the content is interesting (particularly rec math part), but honestly, if you have ever taken a statistcs course you can float through this class and don't even bother buying textbook

If you have the chance to take a class with Jill, DO IT! Most amazing teacher I have ever had ... she will change your world and idea of math! I've always had a B average in high school math and came out with A+'s in both 112 and 113. Work hard and you'll be rewarded. I'm actually sad to not have a math with her this year :(

I cant emphasize enough about how great a teacher Jill Britton is. I almost didnt go into the program I am in because the requirement was math. I decided to just try it out and I am so glad I did. I came to every class did the homework nightly and got my first A in math EVER, she made math easy!!

Comment:

Jill is one of the best math teachers I have had. She takes enough time on each subject so you learn it and she drills it into your head! I hated math going in and ended up with an A+ ... not because it was a super easy class but because i actually UNDERSTOOD what i was doing for the first time!
