Comment:

She has quizzes once a week. She goes over all types of questions that show up on her exams. She genuinely wants everyone to do well. However, she's a tough marker. The textbook was not used at all in my experience.

Really wants you to do well in her courses. Very thorough in her explanations. If you do the course work that she gives you, and see her out of lecture hours (very accessible) for help when you need it, then you will do well. Also funny as hell.

Comment:

I have taken almost all math courses with her, and enjoyed every single lecture. There is a bit of material but if you put effort into it, you will enjoy taking math with her. As well, If she is not in the office, she is usually in the math study room for any additional help. Highly recommend Marsha Anderson.

Had marsha for calc 2 and im really glad I did. She's an amazing teacher with great notes and she's more than willing to help you outside of class. Calc 2 is a very hard course but if you work for it you'll be rewarded with her!

Marsha is the best prof Ive ever had. Shes super helpful outside of class and gives clear explanations. Dont really get the bad reviews on her here, probably bitter students that are too lazy to actually study the material outside of class to get a decent grade.

Comment:

Marsha is awesome. Not only is she by far the best math instructor at Capilano University but she is a very approachable person outside of class. Do take advantage of her hours outside of class and she will help you to her full capability. She might seem scary at first but that's due to her harsh, "real" humour. I actually like calc because of her.

HORRIBLE teacher, her tests are so much different and difficult than what she teaches in class. She doesnt even give out practice tests like the other profs. Bad prof.

Comment:

Calc is a hard course. It helps to have a prof that actually seems to care about how well the students are doing. As long as you practice the tutorials and take really great notes, it's not bad. The midterms are extremely tough, so it's important you completely understand the material. Make sure you see her a lot in the MLC.

Comment:

Attendance is mandatory because her notes are crucial to understanding the course. Great sense of humour that keeps the lectures light-hearted. The course requires a lot of time studying at home or in the Math Learning Center. Her quizzes are hard, but good to have as they make sure you keep up with the material

Math is tough and discouraging for me. Having a teacher take a happy-go-lucky attitude towards it, keeping things light, kept the whole course from being a total nightmare despite the nearly overwhelming subject.

Marsha is literally the best math teacher I've ever had. She's very clear in her teaching, and helps you if you're stuck! She took the time to go over a whole quiz with me that I failed, and I ended up doing pretty well in her course because of the extra help she provided. I hope to get her in future math courses!

Comment:

She gives off that old cat lady vibe but she's actually really cute. As long as you do the homework and attend every class you'll get a good mark. Some test questions are tricky but doable if you also go on her website and do the quizzes.

She is GOOD! Math is hard if you don't practice. Marsha gives a bunch of practice exercise and she gives extra example in class. She gives clear explanation. I simply loved her way of teaching.

Comment:

Marsha is a good teacher when it comes to calculus. However, the topic at hand is very difficult to grasp, and self study plays a big role in doing well. Her notes and lectures are pretty informative. As far as her quizzes, they were pretty fair; she tends to ask easy as well as some hard questions. Watch your notation!

Comment:

Very organized instructor. You HAVE to attend every single class in order to follow all materials. I actually like the idea of having quiz every week because this course is pretty heavy and you can't leave it for last minute to catch up. Pretty difficult Course eventhough I like math but I recommend her as your instructor

Very fast teaching, not very helpful. Her notes are very good and everything is clear, make sure you do your homework and the practices or you will fail as she will not slow down.

Comment:

Marsha is a bit scary at first but she is actually very nice, and funny. The math department in general is pretty tough with marking, so if you have trouble in math, you have to work very hard, or you might fail. She warns you of that inthe beginning.

Comment:

She doesn't exactly come off as friendly but she warms up throughout the course - you can tell she wants her students to do well. Very organized and definitely knows what she's doing, but she moves quickly so make sure you keep up.
