Comment:
Karen is such an adorable lady. Her jokes are pretty lame and she talks as if she's teaching 2nd graders but you cant help but love her. Shes extremely helpful. met with me once at 11 pm to around 1 am! She really wants to see the kids in her section do well, and she explains the material really well almost like she dumbs it down, but hey, it helps

Comment:
Karen is very willing to help, and even scheduled seperate review sessions for anyone that wanted to go. She won't necessarily guide you toward the test, but she will hint at things if you go to office hours. Karen is a great teacher, her class averages on tests were always above the course average scores. Switch into her class if you can!

Comment:
I loved having Karen Rhea. Some people didn't like her just becuase they thought she was crazy...it is just that she tries to be funny and no one understands. If you are taking Calc I, try to take it from Karen, she will really help you to understand the subject!

She is nice and tries very hard, but because she does write the exams and is afraid of leading her class towards the exam, it kind of felt like she lead us in the totally wrong direction

Comment:
karen rhea is crazy. She is very important obviously, but at times seems like she barely knows the material, with our class correcting her several times. Made this class very difficult, her only positives would be she writes the exams, so she guides well and she is willing to help at times. However if you get her as a teacher, attempt to switch out

Very nice, but she talks to you like you're 5 years old. Since she writes the exams, she kinda guides the class in the right direction and emphasizes the right examples. Our class always did above average, probably because of that. It was still a lot of work though.

Karen taught calc in a totally new way. It's applied math not theory. She's nice and really cares that you learn.

This lady is out of her mind. She has a massive superiority complex. She is NOT helpful at all. Somebody should remind her that she is course coordinator not President.

She will never return your emails, because she thinks taht being the course coordinator is some big important job. She is a total busy body who thinks that she is the most important person in the school.

This class is hard. Since I took two years of Cal in highshcool I thought I would do exgtremely well. I studied a ton (taking all the pratice exams), and still did very bad (b-). She is a good teacher though, the course is just crazy.

She is a wonderful teacher. She really cares if you learn the material and does an excellent job of teaching. Also, she teaches everything the correct way. It is the most efficient in math i have ever been.

Those who wrote before must not have had her as a teacher. She is very concerned that her students learn, and she has a great way of explaining things. You can learn a LOT in this class.

Course coordinator for 115. Responsible for the dumbest way of approaching math ever. Team homework and lectures for MA 115 are the biggest waste of time ever. They do nothing but give GSIs and faculty a way to not teach the course material.

She is the corrdinator and is extremely nice. The exams on the otherhand, make you want to kill yourself. They are very long and can be difficult. Sometimes a single question was worth 24 points. And team-homework is the worst.

She's not an actual teacher, she's the course coordinator. I've met with her, she's a very nice person and whatnot, but the way she wrote the book and the exams is unique when compared to the traditional learning of Calculus, you have to APPLY whatulearn
