Comment:

Prof Rasky is the best math professor at SWC. For those leaving negative reviews are probably lazy people wanting an easy A without learning the core material. First time taking calc 3, she easily made it be my favorite class. She is so passionate about teaching, lets you use sheets of notes for every exam/quiz, genuinely cares. She's awesome.

Comment:

She is very passionate about teaching you Java... even though it sucks. She can be ruthless and her style is not for the weak minded. She has a funny way of keep you attentive and focused during her lessons. Its a great way to learn but it can be pretty old school so buckle up.

Comment:

Rasky is very enthusiastic about teaching. She explains things clearly and when you need help. She is very picky about how she wants you to solve problems. It HAS to be done her way. She does not understand that you can solve a problem multiple ways. Tough grader, even if you have the right answer, youll get docked if its not done her way.

Comment:

Teacher, not professor, expects you to read 150 pages per week. If youre no good at math she will not bother helping you. She told me that this is not my career path. I missed one class for a family emergency and she refused to help me understand the subject. She makes jokes about suicide too. Maybe being a teacher isnt the right choice for her.

I took her class 2 semesters ago and I can honestly say that there is no better professor than her. It is true, you are going to have a lot of homework and quizzes and I mean A LOT! however, thanks to this style of teaching I knew exactly what I was doing every class. Don't get scared of the homework & quizzes, it's really worth it at the end.

She's a really great teacher and makes the material understandable. Do the homework proficiently and really pay attention during lectures and you will pass the class. The course reader for the class is the Calc 3 holy grail, use it to your advantage so quizzes and tests will be in your grasps. She's also funny, quirky & full of energy, even at 8 am

Comment:

Gives a 5% boost on your exams by doing what you are supposed to do (completing all of your homework with 70% or above and passing all quizzes with 70 % or above. She even hints at specific problems that may be in the exams. She is also very charismatic and will help you with anything during office hours.

She is a great teacher. You will understand the material. Calculus is going to be hard no matter what teacher you take but she will take her time to help you understand. She gives a lot of quizzes but the point of them is to make sure you understand the concept. You can pass the class depends how hard you work.

She's a great lady who's an excellent professor with a few minor issues. She asks you to buy quite a few books that aren't very helpful, so only buy her course reader. She lets you use notes on all the tests and quizzes, just be a dedicated student. I managed to ace it while taking Physics and Data Structures.

After taking her class I realized the importance of putting in hard work and at the end having the amazing satisfaction of knowing that you actually LEARNED calc! she gives a lot of homework, but you need to do it for practice. She gives practice exams to help you. Passing her class made me feel proud of myself... Take her and stay focused!

Some students were not getting good grades in the homework and she said if the average homework grade isn't a C then everyone is going to get an F for the next homework assignment. Other student's failing hurt you, what kind of grading is this?

Comment:

Rasky is intense. Intimidating. Passionate. Sometimes funny in her own peculiar way. For her, writing typing, so be prepared to write everything. Despite the amount of paperwork to turn in, she goes over every assignment with a fine-tooth comb. QUADRUPLE-CHECK your code. You'll miss super easy points otherwise. She'll give you study guides too.

Very thought and rough but you will learn a lot. If you are a Math or engineering major you have to take her. I have never learn as much with any other professors. You will be prepared for any math classes afterwards. She is also very funny and you will never be bore in lecture. Beware she gets very mad if you late to class or don't turn in work.

This i the best math teacher I have had. I went to her office hours whenever I could, and she would help me when needed. She makes study guides for every midterm and the final. She gives you everything you need to succeed, the grade you get, is literally what you earned
