Extremely helpful and nice!!! One of the best math teachers I have ever seen. Homeworks are harder than the tests, which are very straight forward, no surprises. I lvoed math because of her!!!!!!

Good prof, knows her stuff and is helpful, but makes a lot of simply careless errors when doing work on the board, which can be pretty confusing if you are struggling with the material.

Prof. Taback is very nice, and readily offers help. She has students at her house on occasion, and is just very friendly. I'd definitely recommend taking her class.

Sassy, good teacher, always available for outside help. Mid-terms were take home AND inclass which was annoying

She's very helpful, friendly, and interesting. However, she's a fairly tough grader, so this class isn't easy.

Comment:
She's extremely helpful in office hours and is really nice overall. However, she is not a great mathematician, and can get really picky on assignments. She also underestimates her students and it can be annoying. Probably better as a tutor or friend than as a teacher.

molly shannon confuses herself at least once per class, is very unclear, gives homework that is far above and beyond anything we've done in class, exams are brutal, worksheets are impossible. that said, if you ever need help she's very helpful outside of class

Comment:
material from the lectures is not only unclear to the students, but often to the professor herself. while she is extremely friendly and always helpful to students during office hours or through emails, her method of teaching often leaves students to teach themselves from the book. amiable & decent.

Comment:
Acts as if her audience is made up of elementary school kids. Goes over ideas and topics several times before moving to the next topic. Slow-paced class. Generous grader, tests are not overly difficult. Looks like Molly Shannon.

Comment:
Although helpful outside of class, she often talks down to, if not belittles, students. She does not like Calc, and it was very clear in her poor teaching. At such a small school, a teacher should care enough to grade her own homework! Not recommended.

A good professor but when it comes to writing proofs, they have to be excruciatingly detailed-- beyond what any other prof. in the department requires.
