When I visited Duke as an accepted student, I sat in on Dr Hodels Math 41 class and learned a calculus concept I was struggling with in high school. Needless to say I was there at Duke for her full class as a freshman the next fall!

One of the best. She loves teaching, and her students. She teaches so well, if you go to class you will do fine on tests and homework. Grading is very fair and honest. I'm really glad I was in her class.

EXCELLENT professor and extremely helpful. She loves teaching and so isn't always distracted by whatever research she may be involved in. If you have to take math 103 - take it with her!

awesome math teacher- obviously you shouldnt take 103 unless you really have to (like for engineering) but if you do, then Hodel is easily the best. i switched into an early morning section just to get her, and it was worth it. she is an expert

Best prof I have ever had and probably will ever have. The material in 103 is very challenging but if you need to take this class take it with her. She will always meet with to to explain something if you didn't understand it in class. She makes 103 do-able and enjoyable!

I was prepared for 103 to be awful by the way people talk about it, but she made it understandable. The final exam is EXACTLY like her tests. If you don't like math, I don't recommend 103, but if you have enough interest, definitely choose her over all the other profs. b/c she's amazing! If you have trouble, TALK TO HER. She actually cares.

This class was very difficult, and I don't recommend it unless you need it for your major. The workload is heavy, and the material is extremely challenging. If you have to take it, choose Prof. Hodel. She always answers questions and explains concepts as clearly as possible. Also, her sections do well on the final, which will improve your grade.

An amazing teacher. She makes one of the hardest math classes very manageable, and her explanations are clear. Don't miss class, and don't miss any of the handouts she gives, because they're invaluable. Also, she's a very nice and approachable person. She makes sure to know your name, which isn't very common of many professors!

She's not perfect (who is?), but she's the best math teacher I've ever had. Follow along in class and do the homework as she assigns it and you should be fine. She's always willing to help and is an extremely nice person. If you ask for help, she'll often make simple statements that clarify what seems to be quite confusing at times.

Hodel was sooo sweet and always willing to help out her students outside of class. If you could not make it to office hours, she was willing to find a time good for you. Also, she offered office hours the entire week before exams, including the day of the exam. She was superb!

The class is as hard as everyone says it is, but I still loved it because of Mrs. Hodel. She was very clear and helpful, and grading was fair. She is good-natured, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this teacher.
