Comment:

She gives homework but never takes it up, just for practice. She is funny and very helpful if you need it. Dont expect her to be extremely nice if you dont do anything and never try. This class is easy if you use any effort. With minimal effort i made over 100%.

Terrible professor. I would never take her ever again. She was very rude. Would make you feel stupid in front of the entire class, and she would constantly be corrected. Awful, awful professor.

Comment:

Debra Bryant teaches her math class as if all of the students already know the material. Its very difficult to learn from her, and she uses sarcasm and snarky comments throughout the class which can be extremely discouraging for a student trying to respect their professor. She makes you feel dumb when you ask a question. Basically, a huge no.

Comment:

I thought this class was going to be easy, but ended up dropping it. I am not strong in math and Debra was extremely rude to me. She would laugh at questions in class and she was just a horrible instructor overall. Whenever I would email asking for help she would give a sarcastic answer or not reply at all. HATED the class. Do not take.

I was worried she was going to be bad based off this site, but she turned out to be on of my favorite professors yet at TTU. She is very kind and helpful once you build a one to one relationship with her and show her you care. My advise is to take her, you will learn and have fun too.

I had Dr. Bryant my freshman year for math. I would advise anyone & everyone to avoid her! She is always talking down to her students and heaven forbid you ask a question. I was always so afraid to ask for help if I didn't fully understand the content because I knew as soon as I did she would give me that, "Are you kidding me?" look. STAY AWAY!!

Comment:

Only meets 1xweek, slow teaching to make sure everyone understands. Answers emails quickly. Stays after class to help, willing to help if available outside office hours. Once tutors opened to all students for half the required lab time helped. During exams, work problems on paper & turn in at end & gives extra credit if right hawkes counted wrong.

Professor Bryant was extremely helpful when I took her class. She always emailed me back right away if I had any questions on how to work a problem. She stays before and after class as well to answer any questions.

Comment:

She is a bit slow to start but she tries to answer everyone's questions. She will stay after to help anyone. I found the class much easier once the tutors for half the lab credits were a available to all the class. If you work out the math and it is clear what you did during the test, she will go back over them and give partial credit or more.

Comment:

Dr. Bryant's class was a struggle. If anyone asked a question they were degraded and answered rudely. The class work and tests is completely computer based and done in the Math Emporium. The biggest problem is Dr. Bryant's attitude toward students and inability to explain the subject. Stuck it out but I will not take another class with her again.

Comment:

Dr. Bryant is a nice lady, but she will talk to you like a baby. She assumes everybody in her class is stupid. If you ask a question, it gets even worse. I'm glad I never had a question because she shamed and embarrassed anyone who did. Avoid her if you can.

Comment:

Completely awful. She is extremely frustrating, as she is unclear about everything. She talks down to her students and treats you like you are dumb. If you are good at math it's an easy class, but not worth the frustration. She frequently does problems wrong, and gets mad at us for correcting her. I dread going to this class.

Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had. She is very unclear regarding assignments and when they are due. She also likes to teach you her methods, and then expect you to do the more correct method on homework and tests. Would NOT recommend if you can avoid her. The only good thing is that on her good days she is a sweet old lady, just awful teacher.

Comment:

Awful teacher! Very biased. Get ready to teach yourself EVERYTHING! Never teaches for the whole amount of time, mostly the last 10-15 minutes. Good luck on tests, she tries to put to much into 1 single test. Double check every test, she DOES NOT grade correctly. Talks down to students. Doesn't care about her students, only herself & her problems.

Comment:

She teaches slow & the T.A was more helpful. uses online text book and you have to buy a code for it. the class was 55min and she taught in the last 20 min. I basically taught myself on all the HW. The test are hard b/c she doesn't teach you how to do the problems. Ask her for extra credit on the review problems and for a participation grade.

Class is easy and hard at different times, you get alot of homework and you have to study hard in order to do good on the tests. She is helpful, goes over the homework and any questions you have. Not a bad professor.

Comment:

Dr. Bryant is a sweet lady, and anyone can tell that she means well. However, her teaching mechanisms are not always on-point. Some days, the class gets a free day to work on their on time (which I prefer), but mostly pressures you to pay attention. Borrowed another professor's syllabus and makes changes whenever she wants. Easy A, though.
