Comment:

Best math professor! Amazing teaching methods and truly cares about her students. I never understood math until I took her course. There is a lot of HW and she covers a lot in lecture, but the only reason you couldn't get a good grade in her class is if you don't put in the effort or don't come to class. She goes above and beyond to help. Love her!

Dr. Humphrey's is a fantastic professor!!! From day 1 she is very clear in saying that there is a lot of work HW requires at least 2 hours. There is a quiz every Friday. She goes above and beyond to get you help. Her Pre-Cal class is the only 1 with a supplimetal instructor( a tutor). YES it is A LOT of work but in the end it is very REWARDING.

Hands-down BEST, math professor I've ever had. Not my strongest subj but goes the extra mile to help you understand. Have to buy online HW access. Be prepared for LOTS of HW (2-ish hrs/ class), & 1 Qz/ week. PLENTY of extra help if needed w/ math group and tutors. Qz and Exams straight from lecture & HW. Hard work pays off if you try. LOVE her!

If you believe in god do not i repeat do not take her class here lies no hope of passing not only does she give an endless supply of hw after cramming 5 lessons in your head she proceeds to do so until she gives you a quiz every friday on the 10 methods you learns a week ago and not what she just shoved in your head save yourself

Comment:

You could have a worse Professor for Pre Calc. There is a ridiculous amount of homework that will take away from your other classes. The professor is rude to the students and throws them under the bus. The quizzes are almost impossible to score above 15/20. Exams are tougher than quizzes. If you are not a stud at math I recommend another professor.

One of the best math teachers I ever had. I had taken AP Calculus my senior year of high school but I didn't understand a lot of it. After taking this class, many concepts were much more clear to me. She's an excellent professor!

Enthusiastic, high-energy teacher. Puts too much emphasis on rote learning and "drill and kill" methods, but better too much than too little.

I took my first exam in the class and failed miserably. So much homework and quizzes every Friday, which helps but also brings down your grade. Tough grader and exams are nothing like homework

genuinely cares about her students, but it feels like she makes the class much harder than it needs to be. Tests are fair, but extremely hard. assigns a ridiculous amount of homework, which is the only way to learn, so get ready to work for your grade. Overall, she's good, but makes the class harder than it needs to be.

An all around great professor! I took calc in high school & had a great teacher, but Dr. Humphreys built on & solidified my understanding. Friday morning study group with her was fantastic & lectures were extremely thorough. She's very sweet & answers questions whenever necessary. WebAssign is a must for this class but easy to use.

Great professor. Lots of homework and frequent quizzes. Exams mirror the quizzes, so it's never anything you haven't seen before. She's very nice and helpful, and flexible on passing in homework if you need extra time to grasp concepts. Snarky in a funny way, and expects you to act like an adult. Would take again.

Dr. Humphreys is the best professor at RIC. He lectures are well thought out and she explains everything so clearly. He lectures were never boring and she's funny. She assigns a lot of homework but it's manageable. Her exams are easy if you study and she gives quizzes every week. I would easily take this class again. Great professor!

Calc 2 was hard in general. She is really nice and encouraged office hours which helped a LOT in addition to an hour group study session before class one day a week. Quizzes every week and you really have to do the homework. Tests were hard but ifyou work for it its not the end of the world. She has PERFECT handwriting and very clear in instruction

We didn't have to buy a textbook so there are a lot of worksheets but all are very helpful. She goes over everything carefully and shows where stuff comes from. This is helpful since I want to be a teacher. Quizzes and exams are exactly like hw so you better practice!!

Professor Humphreys is the worst math professor I've had in my entire schooling character. She makes you feel stupid when you don't understand things she does NOT explain in class. Take anyone else. I've never despised a professor as much as I do her.

Awesome professor. Does everything she can to make sure every single person has at least a basic understanding before moving on to the next concept. Quizzes and tests are exactly what you would expect. She doesn't try to trick anyone. Lots of homework but very fair grader.

DONT TAKE HER FOR CALC 2! Her quizzes are hard and the exams are alright. At times her quizzes can be fair, but most of the time they are very hard. Alot of homework is given. Both webassign, bookwork, and worksheets. Getting a tutor is preferrred. She basically hurt my gpa and studied alot for both her quizzes and tests.

Comment:

Had her for Calculus over the summer. Very intense class for the summer session. She gives a TON of homework, but it is necessary to truly understand the concepts. Very helpful during office hours and will do everything to help you pass. Take this professor, but be prepared for the insane amount of homework she gives.
