Emmy is the best. Her classes will never be easy. It will be a lot of work and she pushes you very hard. However, she is 100% dedicated to her students and always available outside of class. You will do well if you work hard throughout the semester.

Look, the purpose of this course is to prepare you for Exam FM - which is inherently difficult. Emmy teaches the material incredibly well and does everything in her power to help you succeed. Very flexible with grading structure and 4.0 if you pass exam. Cares about everyone. Hardest I've ever worked, but most I've ever learned. 10/10 recommend

Comment:

She is a very difficult teacher but you learn a lot. This is not the class to take if you want an easy 4.0. Requires a lot of work outside of class because her weekly tests are difficult. She requires preciseness in her quizzes when writing out solutions. But definitely take her if you are thinking about Actuarial Science as she is department head.

Comment:

Emmy is a hard professor, that is well known. For actuarial students, this is a good thing because she makes her class harder than the real exam. If you pass the real exam you get a 4.0, and if your final is higher than your current grade, that becomes your grade. She also holds good office hours. People who don't do well in her classes don't try.

Doesn't explain the topics well and always tries to rush through new material because we're "falling behind". Would not suggest taking her class.

Clearly prof Roth has been rating herself on this website. Bad prof to take. GPA killer and just on overall miserable class period to sit through every day. Thinks way to highly of herself. Unreasonable.

Comment:

Emmy is a brilliant professor who definitely knows what she's talking about and is VERY dedicated to helping students learn. She has tons of office hours, and is typically at the school by around 6am. Her classes are very difficult, but you will leave them knowing the information very well because of it. No textbook for this class.

Comment:

Best math teacher at Bentley but if you want an easy 4.0 don't take her. No matter what grade you leave her class with your math skills will be way better than when you started. She is always available outside of class and is also the actuary advisory, so definitely a good lady to know.

Hands down one of the best math professors at Bentley. Had her for two math courses and in both she was a fair grader, there for you when you needed extra help, and an all around outstanding teacher. She is tough but fair and willing to help. If you want to learn, take her.

Emmy is probably one of the best professors that i have ever had at Bentley. She knows what she is talking about and is always there to help students. She always has a ton of office hours and is always on campus. She gives weekly quizzes that are pretty hard, no calculators allowed but you do get a double sided cheat sheet.

She gives a decent amount of homework but nothing unreasonable or excessive. Weekly quizzes that cover the previous week's topic. Drops a few quizzes for the semester. Extremely helpful in office hours and clearly know what she is talking about. Would take her again.

Comment:

Emmy is easily the best teacher at Bentley. Her level of commitment to helping students understand the work is unparalleled. She is beyond caring and offers advice for general class advising, actuarialmath advising as well as career assistance. Most of her classes if your final is better than your average, then your final is your new grade.

Comment:

Professor Roth was my most helpful teacher. She has a lot of office hours and would explain things better there. She makes you work hard but you actually learn the material and she curves every test so it's still easy to do well if you put in effort. You get cheat sheets for every quiz and test as well

One of the best professors at Bentley. She is tough, very tough, but you will be able to find integrals in a snap after taking the course. Just play by her rules and don't fight them and you will be fine. She is always willing to help out students as long as you are willing to put in the effort. Very sweet lady.

Comment:

Emmy is the best teacher at Bentley. She is difficult but she's always more than willing to help when student's need it. She is picky about details but with good reason; forces you to pay attention when solving problems. You will walk out of her classes having learned a lot. Take as many classes with her as you can.

Comment:

Very good teacher, tough tests, always tries to even playing field for ppl who didn't take Calc in hs. Her graduate students seem to love her, she set them on the right path (actuarial). I did not do well in her class, but there's a good reason to take her class if you're actually interested in quantitative fields. Cheat sheets&dropped grades r gud

Comment:

She is a nice lady and I enjoyed her class. She grades hard but i got a 4.0, its not ridiculous. Your work has to be detailed and the way she wants it and if you do that you'll do well. You kind of have to understand math to get her teaching, if you don't then you might find this class difficult.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE especially if you have already been taught. She won't let you use certain rules that you already know. On tests she grades your work, not your answer. The way she wants you to do your work is rediculous. I took AP calc in high school..As and Bs...i have a D in her class
