Comment:

Lets all students retake quizzes if they do the homework. Grades the homework incredibly strictly and will not allow retake if it isn't perfectly done, so she just pretends to allow retakes when in reality it isn't worth your time to do. DROP THIS CLASS if you get it, it gets much harder come the fifth or sixth week.

Comment:

This instructor is terrible. She just rambles on the board, very quickly and berates her students. She constantly tells people when they don't know an answer that "the day is much too nice" and suggest they leave. Stay away from this person. The person is more difficult than the material.

Comment:

STAY AWAY! Worse teacher I have ever had. She did not have office hours, told us not to talk with our peers about the material, and told us to not to get a tutor. I had to teach myself calculus. She would publicly humiliate/call out students out for not knowing a question she asked. She made math harder than it already is. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!!

She uses yelling and embarrassment as a form of teaching. No professor should ever be allowed to raise their voice at a student and especially in front of the entire class. Do not take this class.

Comment:

If you struggle with math do not not take this course with her. It is very fast paced and she won't review any past material. If you ask for help, instead of putting in any extra work to help you understand she will yell at you and tell you to drop out of the class.

Comment:

She is the worst teacher a Pace University. SWITCH OUT OF HER CLASS AS SSON A POSSIBLE! She will announce everyone's test grade to the whole class to praise passing students and embarrass failing students. When I didn't answer a question correctly she said, "why do you come here?" in front of everyone. She finds joy in failing people.

Comment:

She is very nice, but expects students to work really hard. She gives you all the homework problems for the semester in the syllabus, but never corrects them, she just expects you to do them. DO THEM. If you don't go to class and actually put in work, you will fall behind. She puts bonus q's on the exams & extra credit. Offers a lot of office hrs

Comment:

Would never take her again. Stats is not an easy class and she made it even harder. Did not explain the work well at all, and if you asked a question she would get mad at you, saying we learned this when we were 12. Whole class very confused about what essays and projects were on and refused to explain. Stay away, do not take!

Comment:

Definitely knows her stuff but is the worst professor I've ever had. Extremely rude. Have a question in class? She will most likely call you out for not paying attention instead of just helping. Often asks the class "how they were able to pass middle school". Also, tutoring center often doesn't understand her assignments. Discouraging to students.

Comment:

She is a very nice person, but strict about rules. She is very fast and forward, you should do the problems in the book every time she finishes a sectionchapter because she never checks homework, don't do them till the day before the test because it's a lot. She gives you test corrections and extra credit sometimes. Overall she's a good teacher.

Absolutely the worst professor I've had. I'm not great with math and she made the subject absolutely unbearable. Did absolutely everything I could not to fail. Had I read these reviews before signing up, definitely wouldn't have taken her course. Absolutely avoid

Calculus with her is super hard unless you fully understand calc and have background information on calc. If you never took calc before, DO NOT TAKE HER!

not helpful at all. she goes thru lessons using the textbook, but you can teach urself better than she can. test questions come from textbook. she stated final was cumulative, but it was mostly the later chapters of the course, screwed the whole class off when we studied every chapter equally.

Best math teacher I've ever had! She explains everything in full detail and will help you as long as you try. All the test questions are from the homework and she gives alot of extra credit.

Good Professor! Lets you make your own decisions w/ attendance & hw but you need to participate, ask questions, do the homework assignments (even though they're not mandatory) and go to her office hours for help. She has no tolerance for phones and for those who talk in class. Just show up, take notes, pay attention and you will get a good grade.

I honestly loved her class so much! If you pay attention in her class and take good notes, you don't even need the textbook. Her exams are very straight forward and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities! Great professor and course!
