Comment:

I loved this teacher! She was very helpful if you went and talked to her. However, she did grade tests harsh... if it wasn't done her way then it was wrong :( but if you actually talk to her and engage yourself in the class, its a breeze!

worst math teacher I have ever had, plain and simple. I was easily maintaining a C/C+ average in this class. Both times I received a C- in the end. Very unclear and not helpful at all. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS.

Comment:

As a post-bac student who takes school EXTREMELY seriously I have to say this woman is, without a doubt, the WORST professor I have ever had. The professor assigned problems from the book she knew were wrong, lectures were totally worthless and questions on exams were wrong if not done her way. I had to learn trig from youtube videos. DO NOT TAKE!

she was the worst teacher i have ever had. she teaches quickly and messes up example problem. is always sick.she has terrible handwriting. she had frequent technological difficulties she has no gradebook. and a lack of understanding coarse material is never her fault, the students "just had a bad day".

Comment:

After a HORRIBLE semester, she was for whatever reason "unable" to get my final grade in by the due date for grades, causing my College of Business application to be denied before it was even considered due to "not meeting requirements". In addition to being a very hard to understand teacher,in my case she didn't even follow university policy.

Received a B+ in Math 201 and ended up dropping this class half way through the semester. She gives a lot of homework, has a quiz every Friday and goes through the material very fast. I do NOT recommend her.

This class ended up taking all my time. I dropped it half way into the semester but at that point all my other classes had suffered. She is not helpful and goes over the material to fast. I am not good at math but I put in a lot of time going to the tutors or asking friends for help.

Worst teacher I have ever had. Goes through the material too quickly and makes no sense while doing it. Her TA's are better than she is at this, seriously avoid at all costs. You basically have to teacher yourself everything using the textbook. You WILL regret taking this teacher.

Comment:

Not helpful, her lectures are pointless. She will spend the entire period going over what we did last time then assign about 30-50 problems dealing with something else. Do not get her as a teacher!

She was awful. She would be going over a problem and half way through she would say "oh, i messed up, but you get the general idea" and everyone would be lost. Don't take her class.

Can't believe she still has a job....smith better pack it up and start collecting social security soon. what an absolute joke of a teacher....just an old grumpy lady who hates college students. do not take this class unless you are already an expert at math. what a joke of a professor
