Comment:

This prof. was very, very helpful. I heard horror stories about this class and when I took her, I was wondering what the big deal was about.. She allows you to use your calculator on tests, shows you how to use them properly, and will explain something 5 different ways if you don't understand. Hard class but great teacher!

I hated her as a professor, but the class wasn't too hard. My advice to anyone taking calc 2, use the guided problems off the internet and you never have to go to class. Worked for me!

Comment:

I thought that she was great...test could be a little tricky...but i eventually learned that the test problems are taken from the even problems in the text book. Look though the notes and hw before hand and it shouldnt be too bad. If class does bad on a test she will give the class an optional extra credit assignment to boost grades. she rocks:)

Comment:

At first she seems kinda flaky, but she really knows her stuff. She is a super nice lady and really wants you to succeed. Her tests are challenging, but it's nothing you haven't covered in class. And if you do all the homework assignments she is likely to bump up your grade. :)

Comment:

I really like her personality. She is very cute and friendly. The homework was never checked or graded, but you really should do it to stay on top of things. We had a quiz every two weeks. I have a bit of a hard time learning from her. Maybe I'm just retarded. She's very nice and helpful, though.

Tests are difficult but if you study, they shouldn't be a problem. She is really kind and always willing to help! She always give half credit just for attempting the problem. She will go over anything you don't understand from previous tests.

This class is super boring and I want to shoot myself everytime I walk in to class. However, the tests are pretty fair...the teacher is just very annoying!

Very boring and she doesn't explain things well. She also likes to put things on the test that we haven't covered!

She's so cute! She obviously loves teaching. I feel like I'm back in 1st grade. Tests are very fair, although she does move pretty quickly through things. Overall you'd be lucky to get her.

Comment:

This is the best and easiest Stats teacher there is. She does not require you to memorize long equations, instead she shows you how to do them on the calculator. Her tests are not hard, anyone who says so is stupid. She is much easier than other profs.

Comment:

Really enthusiatic about teaching, loves math! She can be really funny because she's so passionate. Tests are kind of hard though if don't know the material. She's stubborn on arguing points on tests.
