Dr. Lilly is a really nice prof and is always willing to help. The course I took was pretty weird, you literally do only word problems but she made it understandable. Her quizzes are based on the homework so as long as you follow along and ask questions your solid.

Comment:

This was a very easy class. She explains concepts well and goes through many practice problems during class. She also tells you EXACTLY what will/will not be on the exams (hint: the most complex material gone over in class is usually not tested on). There are individual and group homework assignments due every week; they're easy grade boosters.

Comment:

She is a good professor but goes over lectures really fast. She assigns homework almost every night but gives class time to get it started. She grades the homework so do it. There are two group papers that take a lot of time, but as long as you include everything you will be fine. She has exams and quizzes that are not that long or too hard.

Comment:

Lilly does a good job of preparing you for the exams with the paper homework that is assigned. You need to do the homework because it is actually worth a decent amount of the grade. There are only a few tests so you have to do well and she is kind of mean/ scary.

Comment:

Professor Lilly posts the powerpoints she uses in class, there is a TA for the class that will help you with homework, and she is a fast grader. The tests are only 8 questions and they are worth 50 points so you get points just for having the right idea. The group projects are easy if you split up the work. Take her if you have to take math 205.

Dr. Lilly is awesome - knows the material and is concise and to the point with lectures. Tells you what material will be on test and is always available in office hours. No nonsense and just tries to teach students what they need for tests, rather than adding unnecessary material.

Comment:

If you're premed, don't take Math for the Modern World, even if your freshman advisor says to; even though you technically don't need calculus for MCAT, many med schools require it as a prerequisite. Also, to anyone saying Lily's MFTMW class is easy, that may be true regarding lecture, but the group projects & all the exams were kind of difficult

Comment:

Math for the Modern World is dumb, but Mrs. Lilly makes it bearable. She is a super nice person, and she assigns just enough homework so you understand, but it's not busy work. She gives little quizzes at the end of each chapter, but no tests. The final is the same for every MTH205 class, and she gives a study guide.

Comment:

Just take regular calc, there is little to no integration of biology. The professors knowledge extends only to math and although I don't I don't question her mathematical intelligence, for those without calc experience, her teaching skills are poor. However, exams are realitively easy if you have any calc exposure. We need a better math dept

Tests are fair, she goes over exactly what will be on them beforehand. Be diligent about homework - she grades for accuracy. Not my favorite professor but not bad. Make sure you get a good group for the group essays, she grades tough on them.

Comment:

I can't imagine a better math professor at Creighton. The class is not hard, but the concepts can be odd. She is always willing to help during class when she lets us work on problems or if you go into office hours. A couple of quizzes, homework graded on accuracy, and two papers. Take her if you can!

Comment:

For math modern world (Easiest math class), she's pretty tough. You NEED to read the chapter before class and after as well in order to retain the info. Not an easy grader and make sure to attend class always. Only 2 absences allowed. Make a good impression in the beginning and maintain it. Tests are hard but fair. Probability is the hardest sect.

Comment:

The accuracy of your answers and work counts on the homework. When she teaches the problems in class, she teaches the easy example problems and expects you to be able to figure out the hard ones on your own. The tests are exactly like the homework problems. The group projects were annoying and I got Bs on them.

Super awesome lady and professor, explains everything in great detail and is always willing to help. Only thing to beware of is homework, lots of it and is graded like a quiz, i did OK in the class and still would get 10 out of 20 sometimes on 50 question homework assignments. overall super awesome professor would recommend!

Lilly is the BOMB. The way she explains the topics of calculus makes them so easy to understand, you end up wondering what the big deal with calculus is. She is very kind and very helpful, especially one on one. Very supportive, as well. Definitely take her if you have the choice.
