She's a tough grader and expects you to try but I always feel I learn a lot in her classes. She is almost always in her office and is willing to help.

She is a good teacher, knows her subject. She is helpful and she uses example to make it more clear. She expect you to daily study.

Her class doesnt make any sense at all! First of all her webassign doesn't teach you anything and second, she is very harsh as grading. She is completely unreasonable and doesn't respond to emails. I need to graduate!

Comment:

Wish I would have read her reviews prior to taking this class!! Little to no instruction. When sought help, was told to refer to book. Tests/quizzes have content that was not covered in weekly lecture or homework assignments. For an 1000 level class, content was way to hard. Did not post final grades in timely manner.

She's a mathematician, NOT a math teacher... She knows her stuff, but she can't teach. She gets mad when you ask for help.

By far the worst teacher I have ever had. She is unreasonable, grades horribly and isn't helpful at all! DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES. I promise you will thank me later.

Comment:

I took her online math and reasoning class and if anyone posted a question on the D2L site, she would say, "Its in your book." I emailed her to ask if I could meet up with her to get help she said, "No this is an online class, look in your book." she is an over all bad teacher!

uninviting atmosphere, lack of guidence, not quite sure she's interested in her subject let alone her students--MIA with TA who could care less also. Needs to be fired.

Comment:

She knows what she is doing when it comes to math. She is very good at it, but I'm not sure how good at teaching it. The only problem I see with her class is the amount of WebAssign she uses, because I hate WebAssign. Otherwise, the teacher knows what she is talking about, so you can learn a lot.

Comment:

Not quite sure how well she teaches, given her TA's taught almost the entire class. Overall, her teaching confused me and when I was in trouble and went to her for help, none was provided. If she's teaching your class, I encourage you to look into withdrawing. Also, she does not pass you if you receive a D in the class.

She is an awful teacher. She doesn't actually teach, she gives out work sheets to do then doesn't give the answers to them. If you have trouble with math I would avoid her at all costs.

Comment:

I was under the impression that the teacher was suppossed to teach the class, but you pretty much have to teach yourself for the entire semester. She gives you a work sheet and tells you to figure it out, then when you don't understand it she freaks out at you. I would highly avoid taking any class with her.

Comment:

She is hard, but fair. She expects her students to take responsibility for learning - this is not a bad thing. I learned more from her than from anyone in the math department, because of her teaching style. She ranks among the best professor I ever had, but if you want to be spoonfed and given easy A's, you won't like her.

Comment:

she is a bit harsh and expects that you go to class....if you want to be able to skip....don't take her...she is a nice lady though...it does suck when she tries to make you figure stuff out on your own and then teaches it...
