Comment:

TERRIBLE teacher. Ran through the material and did not even give examples on how to complete problems. I am at the halfway point in my semester with Prof. Beneish and have taught myself the entire course so far. Would NOT recommend this teacher. Every day students in my class leave early from frustration with her teaching methods.

Horrible teacher. She does not care about the students. Will not bat an eye over failing the entire class. Avoid at all costs. You will regret it if you have to take her. Good Luck.

Comment:

Speeds throguh the material so fast, seems like only focus is on regurgitating material as fast as possible. You better remeber everything of pre-calc cause she assumes that you do. Math was my favorite subject in high school but this class was definatly the opposite. So sad..good luck.

Comment:

Moves fast, speaks with an accent, and has poor penmanship, but she knows her stuff and is willing to help outside of class. And if you're taking Calc III and not expecting to put in some of your own effort, you might as well drop out regardless of who you have.

Comment:

She is a very fun math professor. All that you need to do to pass the class is to take all of the notes, show up for her office hours once in a while, and ask questions if you don't understand the material. I only did my homework ocasionally in both classes and managed to get an "A" in both of them. I go out of my way to take her classes.

Comment:

Very great lady, kind, funny, the whole deal. But horrid teacher. Moves too fast and does not review or care if the class doesn't understand. You will not understand her or her writing (damn cursive). I studied EVERY SINGLE day of the week leading to the cumulative final (C+ final Grade)

Comment:

I may have to drop out of school after this class. I got a 27 on my ACT math, and I failed this class miserably. She is a smart lady, and she knows her calc, but she would definately be better off doinng research, and not teaching. She speaks with a really heavy french accent. Try to avoid her.

I go to Calc. to learn math not french! After all this is America. Your whole grade is based solemnly on on 3 test grades. (2 Mid and a Final)If you do poorly on one, in her own words, "o well that is life."

Easy Class if you have already taken it in high school. She only grades tests...so study hard! She is hard to understand because of her accent, but explains material well. Need to go everyday

Do not take this teacher...She looks at the board the whole class, and when you ask a question she doesn't know why u asked. She goes too fast, a section a day if not more. I don't recommend her for anyone.

I thought she was a good teacher, she did assign and collect homework, and if you stop by her office she will take time to help. her accent isnt that bad, but she does know her calc well

Comment:

I had CALC in high school, and without it I wouldn't pass. She makes no sense and doesn't even know how to do Calc herself, let alone teach it. Talks w/ an annoying accent. AVOID her if possible.
