Comment:

Prof hidden is great. She provides lecture notes to help you follow along in class so you aren't spending the entire time writing down the problems. She is also very good at explaining concepts, and prepares you for exams with her study guide. As someone who is normally awful at math, she was the best choice as she really prepares you for exams.

Hidden made math really easy. Do your homework and study for the quizzes. Her study guides are useful and attend her tutoring. She may seem strict, but she is actually a great teacher. Always willing to help and go over what she did if you didn't understand. DO NOT MISS CLASS! Points for going to class every day is worth about as much as an EXAM!

one of the best math teachers I have ever had. She pushes you to do well and makes you pay attention in class which is what I needed because I find it so easy to drift off. She gives you study guides that help a lot with exams and homework that does as well. She is also great at explaining things and will answer just about any questions w/ material

She's super awesome! I definitely would love to take her for calc 2 but she doesn't teach it. She does go through the material quickly but if you ask question she will slow down and explain it in a different way. Do her study guides and you will do fine on the test, do all the hw and never miss a class.

Comment:

I'm a straight As student in high school but I find she explains concept pretty quickly. But I can tell that she is really care for her students thru her eyes when I go to her office hr. Calculus itself is hard, but she is always there if you needed help. I find calculus is pretty easy overall once I understand the concept. Make sure to do hws!!!

Comment:

She lectures fairly quickly, which will leave you having to really learn the material on your own when you do the hw. She doesn't grade any homework, but you need to do it to understand. She is VERY helpful and thorough if you go to office hours. Overall, I'm happy I took her for calculus 1. It's a really hard class, so be prepared to study!

She is an amazing professor and is very talented at teaching. You learn a lot from her and she really explains it so you understand. I finished the class with a 100%. I got a 98% - 104% on every single test. I usually never do that good but the way she teaches, I had everything down. Don't use the textbook just print notes online and bring them in

Professor Hidden is an incredibly gifted and helpful educator. Throughout my life I have struggled in the area of math, but this professor structures her lectures around students' understanding. She is incredible. The first time in my life that I have gotten a perfect grade in a math course. She builds information clearly for better understandi

I have had the great displeasure of meeting this person she is demeaning to her students extremely nitpicky as in if you do the work get the correct answers but you don't get the answer her way she will mark you off. Extremely condescending and lacks the human elements of teaching. That being said she definitely knows her stuff.

Comment:

Initially, Hidden comes off as unapproachable, but she ended up becoming my favorite math prof. Show up, do the homework, ask questions and there shouldn't be any reason not to pass. The exams are based off the homework so it's very clear what she's asking. Also, lectures were very straightforward and helpful. Will definitely be taking her again.

Comment:

I took professor Hidden's class for Math 180. At first, I was very concerned due to some negative reviews. However, I finished the class with an A and Pr. Hidden turned out to be one of the best Math professors I've ever had. If you want to pass, you must show up to class, pay attention to the lectures and do the homework. No phones or laptops.

Comment:

Pros: she is clear, organized, smart, and posts grades very promptly. Cons: she comes across rude because she seems to have no patience to answer students' questions in class. She seems to assume that people are going to do poorly and says so. I didn't like the way she treated students, but the actual class was very easy.

She is strict, but very clear in what she wants from you. Print out the class notes and bring it to class, really easy to follow. Have homework every week, test review is helping you for the test. You only fail the class if you don't do any of the review nor homework.

Comment:

She is strict because she expects a lot from her students. She uses her electronic device to write on lecture notes projected on the board. It makes the class run smoothly every week. Being a tough grader but not a hard test giver. Take note carefully and do all homework in the textbook, you should be fine in her class.
