Comment:

I never understood math until I took her course. Hardest class I STILL rave about to others as being the foundation I wished I could've gotten years ago. Take her - you will work hard, but it will be worth it, especially if you have students who "don't get it" one day in your own classroom.

Comment:

Her teaching style is perfect, for math majors. She explains everything in the most difficult way possible, and she gets angry when you don't understand the material. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. SHE'S A GPA KILLER.

About 30 people dropped the course. She has unrealistic expectations for a full-time college student, do not take her.

She didnt seem that bad to me. Very strict on what she wants for homework and how to format answers on the test. But I came out with an A. Just have to stay on the homework and online homework because I would forget sometimes

I DONT KNOW WHY EVERYONE IS SO HARSH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT I LOVE THE CLASS SHE ALWAYS KEPT ME LAUGHING. I MADE AN A IN HER 112 CLASS AND THE ONLY REASON I FAIL 115 WAS BECAUSE I STOP GOING TO CLASS FOR STUPID REASON.

Comment:

Mrs. Crumb is very difficult. I was in AP Calculus in high school. Her class has been the hardest math class I've ever had to take because of the ridiculous amount of work required. I just simply did not have the time to do all the work. Also too much time is spent of preparing for Calculus and not the current class.

Comment:

She is horrible. i used to love math. She gets upset if you don't understand the material. Never in her office for office hours if help is needed. She expects you to know the stuff before she teaches it and assigns crazy projects that are very hard! save yourself, and DO NOT TAKE HER! we started with 41 ppl in the class, & ended with 15.

Comment:

I'd recommend her for anyone who both will go on to upper level math courses and has thick skin. She is very rude in class and has high expectations, but knows what she is talking about. She can sometimes be unclear about assignments, but she is extremely fair when grading. Still, Don't expect an easy A here. She just wants to see effort from you.

Comment:

Professor Crumb is great for any person who wants/needs to UNDERSTAND math, if your degree doesnt involve high level math pick someone else. Class is a lot easier if you see her in her office, she really wants you to do well.

Comment:

She is definitely one of the most hardcore professors around. She is tough, and set in her ways. However, I respect her and she will work after classes or in between her time to help you as much as possible. If you are a complainer of professors don't take her unless you want a real challenge.

Comment:

If you want minimal effort and a tough time in future math classes, don't take her...she is the only instructor that truly cares how you do, which explains her high expectations. She isn't just "showing up", she's there outside of class to help and gives ample extra credit towards the end to help boost your grade. Keep an open mind

She was the worst math teacher I have ever had. If you didn't do the work how she wanted it done, it was wrong. I loved math before her, now I hate it! After taking the class over with a different professor: A.

She is extremely tuff. However, if you plan on taking follow on math courses it would be worth taking her. Because she demands that you learn the matirial.

Comment:

Don't do this to yourself. Seiously, it's not worth it. She told our entire class to drop out of school because "it's obviously not worth the money" we paid to be there. Don't do it.

Comment:

She was horrible! Don't get me wrong. She would try to help you if you had any questions but she expected the class to remember every little detail about previous math classes. She would say something along the lines that we must of had horrible teachers prior to her since we didn't know the information. If given the chance, take someone else!!!

Comment:

I took her class as a Freshman, and she made me lose interest in math. She expects all students to know EVERYTHING about Pre-Cal even though 99% of the class didn't, including me. I have to re-take the class because of it. Word of advice: if you have a chance to take another professor, do it. Don't spend your time and hard earned money on this.
