Comment:

(I think that's the right section - sorry if it's not). If you need examples done on the board, don't bother - if she did that, everything would have made more sense. I only ended up with a B because she literally curved the final exam about 16 points because they were so bad.

Comment:

This is the worst class I have ever had! She has made my life a living nightmare. I have all A's and a D right now which is her class. I cannot even describe the frustration I have experienced. Unless you are comfortable with teaching yourself, or already know the material...DO NOT TAKE HER. Her practice tests do not match her tests.

Comment:

She knows what she's talking about, but she is mean. She tries to encourage class participation but if you say something that is even a little bit of a mistake, she meks fun of you in front of the whole class. Also she yells when there is no class participation. Rude. Hmiliates students.

Horrible teacher, I am a math major and had to withdrawl from her class and transfer to another professor where I recieved an A in the class. Over half of my class ended up dropping or failing.She goes too fast and is disrespectful to students.She is completely unapproachable because she is rude and condescending when asked a question.DONT TAKE HE

Comment:

Not a good teacher at all if you expect her to teach clearly. She goes so fast and don't bother asking questions because she just throws it back in your face for not knowing. She offers office hours but doesn't really help you there. Also she tells you what's on the test but then puts something different on. Started with 35 ended with 16.

Comment:

First off, if I had not taken Calculus in High school i would have failed this class miserably. The average of our first test was a 65%...totally her fault for not teaching the material. SHE CANNOT TEACH and you cannot ask questions because she makes you feel so stupid for asking them.

Comment:

The most unapproachable teacher I have ever met. She "encourages" you to ask questions if you don't understand, only to point out how stupid you are for not understanding in her answer. She obviously knows her stuff, but has no care for interaction with her students. oh and btw, lots of pop quizes, and started out with 40 kids, ended with 16.

Do not take this teacher! She goes wayyy to fast and does not do step by step for each problem but does it all at once and stands in front of the board so you can NEVER see. Tests are hard. half of my class dropped it.

Comment:

She is HORRIBLE! I have never had such a rude, inconsiderate teacher that so obviously did not care about her students. She absolutely cannot teach! "You should already know that" doesn't help us at all! DON'T TAKE HER unless you are a math genius and don't have to learn the material.

Comment:

Extremely hard to get a good grade in this class. Dropped out after the second test, the class was averaging 20 percents, so she had to give a re-take. Don't take unless you are a math major.

Comment:

She is a very nice teacher...however, VERY DIFFICULT. I was told CALCULUS II was the hardest Calc, but I took her for Calc III and I am struggling in the class. I got an A in calc II... she TRIES to teach well, but she has the tendancy to confuse more often than to clear up. She gives an attitude alot too. I hate this class..but need it...

Comment:

Dr. Taylor is a great professor. She explains concepts well and very clearly, and goes over each important concept several times (sometimes it gets a LITTLE boring, though). She's always willing to stop and help if you get lost, and often spends entire class periods just answering questions, without getting frustrated. Her tests are easy too.

Comment:

Taylor is the worst teacher I've experienced in my life. She is not only unknowledgable but also doesn't care if her material is explained thoroughly if at all. If she can be avoided, do ot take her because it will be a horrible class

Comment:

Her part of the course isn't all that bad with her notes and stuff, but she's not very helpful outside of class. She assigns problems that have to be done in the computer lab and the lab isn't open at convenient times. When 2 people turn in the exact same assignment with different names, they somehow get different grades; she's inconsistent.
