Comment:

I suppose she knows her stuff, but she definitely can't communicate it. Gives lots of simple examples, then says "you can figure out the rest yourself". The test will be a few giant problems that are much harder than anything she shows. Definitely not there for the teaching.

Comment:

She's a horrible communicator. Takes english words randomly to form some kind of nonsense jibberish that hardly evolves into an English sentence. She teaches by examples, and often makes mistakes while doing that. Board notes are all over the place and virtually useless aid. cross your fingers and hope you get a decent tutorial TA.

Comment:

She turned what was a fairly straightforward course into a horrible convoluted nightmare. Fortunately her test and exams are fairly easy. Read the book.

Comment:

Anyone who plans on teaching a university level math course should have at least a basic understanding of arithmetic. Watching her do anything requiring any kind of numerical operation was like seeing a train wreck in slow motion. Ugggh.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE MATH 2107 WITH HER her lectures are hard to follow, she makes retarded mistakes and keeps going with them, she makes a relatively subject seem so hard, it's easier to just learn from the book

Comment:

I got a B- in her course and have to take it again because I didn't actually understand anything. She's as clear as mud and doesn't seem to know what she's doing. Never really explains anything, just throws up examples. Goes really really slow, and not in the good way.

Comment:

Not a very good teacher; a bit unclear and doesn't really explain things well. The classes are OK....but the tests are killer. They're a lot harder than the stuff she'll have you doing, even if she says "this question is harder than what will be on the test". Not awful, but not great.

Comment:

She's not a bad prof. Not a great one either. Considering how much work she expects her students to be doing, it would be nice if she spent a bit more time preparing her lectures and taking her teaching duties more seriously.

Who ever complains about her is most probably just not doing his/her homework... Good proff, knows what she is teaching, Doesnt impart it to the students in the best way, but is always there to help you..

Not bad, though she seems to not pay full attention to what she's writing on the board some of the time because she makes quite a bit of mistakes. Seems to be a nice person though.

Hard lectures to follow, hard speaking to understand, but she knows what she's doing. problem is... you dont. I recommend switching into Dube's class,its got easier tests, much better lectures, and its fun... yes, a fun math class.
