Comment:

Very responsive, material is not too bad if you study. I did not like the added pressure of the final. You must get a 70 or better or you fail the entire course. That's heavy on a person who is not strong in math. I ended up doing well, but it was stressful. She really is a great teacher, I would take her again. Final taken in testing center.

Cathy is stunning, she really knows her stuff. Cathy gives the best video lectures know demand. Taking this class online was already nerve wracking, but the videos help a lot. Listen to them, try it yourself, youre gonna understand this subject. Grading is straight forward. She drops lowest test grade, and lowest lab assignment. Shes amazing!

Professor Ferrer is really great. Her video lectures are very informative and help you understand the material clearly. She thoroughly explains all the information so you retain it. All homework is on Math Lab including chapter tests. The final must be done in the testing center but if you watch her video lectures you should do just fine. Easy A !

Comment:

Great professor! She's hilarious, explains things thoroughly, and puts cute pigs all over the worksheets. There are quizzes every week, and not many opportunities for extra credit, so you do have to keep on top of the material, but she does upload all of her notes so this is doable even if you don't come to class.

Best math professor ever! Watch all her videos, use her notes to study, and you will pass. She makes the work easy to understand, & you won't need to read book. Videos show you how to do everything that will be on your exam. She even gives HW makeup day. I work full time and missed several assignments. I still got A on final and B in class.

Best math professor ever! Watch her videos, they make math interesting & easy. I waited until all other degree requirements were met to take math out of fear, but I enjoyed it. If you watch her videos, you don't need to read the boring book. She shows you how to do everything that will be on your exam. Drops lowest quiz grade & gives HW makeup day

I took the online course & she posts a video for each chapter walking you through the concept. Her videos are great, I didn't end up needing the ebook at all. You have something due M-W-F, but you can work 2 weeks ahead which is helpful. Final is taken in the testing center and it's exactly what you practice in the quizzes. TAKE HER!!!

Comment:

This professor is AMAZING. I usually go to the west campus but I took her on the East because I heard good things. She gives 15 quizzes but you get to drop your 5 lowest scores. She gives you a partner for quizzes. It is open book, open note, open phone. You can ask her questions. She does a few research activities but they are easy. No final.

Comment:

There was a lot of homework and a take home quiz every day which were all graded. The graded homework and quizzes didn't clearly show what you did exactly wrong. Her way of teaching wasn't great. She went very fast and it almost seemed like she was teaching it like everybody took Pre Calculus and Trig the previous semester. Her tests were hard.

Best math professor hands down!. If your looking to take an online math course and if your as bad in math as me, this is the professor for you. Her lecture videos are LIFE!. Her explanations are very clear, entertaining, and in a way fun, making it pleasurable to learn the material. She follows up quickly and she actually cares to teach.

If you need a math credit, take this class!!! There's usually 3 assignments due each week and they're pretty easy plus you get extra tries. She gives video lecture notes and they are super helpful. A couple quizes and test but there are practice tests to help. Take this class with Prof. Ferrer you won't regret it!!

I took this class online and I loved it! I had some technical difficulties on the My Math Lab but thats out of the professors reach. Aside from that, if you struggle in math, take her! Was skeptical about taking math online but with her teachings and extra review for the final, I got an 88! Take her!!

Professor Cathy is amazing. You have to try to fail, She lets you redo the homework as many times as you need before it's due so you can get a 100%. She gives you fill in the blank notes that go along with her videos so you know what you actually have to write. I wish I could take another class with her but I've ran out of them already :(

Professor Ferrer is super cut and dry about her expectations for the online class. Every thing is clear and concise. She is a fast grader and she responds quickly to emails. You can work ahead and due dates are clear. I am terrible at math and actually failed this class with an in-class professor but ended up passing with Professor Ferrer.

Absolutely adore her, easy grader, is clear on expectations and she sets up the class to where it's impossible to fail (unless you just don't go to class and do 0 work). She's friendly and straight forward. I am actually planning on taking up one of her online classes. The only reason I got a C was because I didn't do a lot of the work. Oops!

I am so bad at math but I got an A in Professor Ferrer's class. I wish I would have known about her earlier. Her videos are so helpful and the tests and quizzes are identical to the homework.

Prof Cathy is a true Professor and cares about her students. Math scares me but her teaching style is clear and to the point. She responds quickly to all emails. Her videos correspond with each chapter which helped me during the semester. If I can pass her final with a 100 you can too. Put in the work and effort on your part and you will do well.

Comment:

This teacher provides instructional videos to compliment each chapter. So unlike during a face to face class I was able to replay her videos as often as necessary until I understood each concept. On those occasions when the video wasn't enough I was able to screenshot my errors on practice assignments and we communicated via email.

Professor Ferrer was incredible! I took her 1106 online and I'm taking 1107 next semester! Her lessons were super easy to understand and the guides that she gives you to print out are a savior! She's really nice and responds to any questions you have through email for any problem! Was stressed about the final, but with her teaching I got an 89!

Great professor! Very quick to answer emails! Fair grader! I'm horrible in math but she is very clear and I took her online! Just make sure to keep up with your schedule and do your work and you will do fine! I got behind because I work a lot. She cares about your success! Don't give up!! Highly recommended! She allows a planned make up day on HW!
