Comment:
Taken multiple courses with her. Get to know her or help her out with her bags before and after class. Genuinely cares about her students doing well. Go to class. She does many problems if you ask her to or even provides solutions. Open-ended exams based off of assigned homework problems so do them and memorize them if you have to.

Terrible help, talks about herself a lot being a wiz kid as a child. Never really able to explain because we had to "keep moving".

This professor is a season veteran who teaches very well. She goes fast, but if u write down her examples and then go home and practice it, you will pass the finals. Make sure u go to her office hours and she will explain the steps to you on a one and one basics. And practice everyday some maths.

Worst Professor in Mathematics. Do not take if you are not strong in math. This class is all about teaching yourself. She does not teach well and she teaches fast and does explain her step process in finding the final answer.

Comment:
This class is tough. I did not think algebra could be this difficult. There were only two exams and then the final. Her exams are extremely short so each question is worth no less than 10 to 15 points. Ex. I took one exam that had 7 questions and I got two wrong and ended up with a 68. Plus a majority if not the entire class did poor. no curve!

Comment:
Every time a student asked for her to slow down or explain in more detail she would say, "no I can't." She barely gives reviews for the tests. Would not recommend taking her class if you are not good at math, if you are you would have to teach yourself or look for outside sources of help..

This woman is so sweet and does her best to make sure students understand the material. She gave 3 exams (40%), homework (20%), and a final (40%). The class isn't easy and she does go through the material fast, but she's helpful if you go to her office hours. She was a lot better than the first calc professor I had, definitely recommend!

Not very easy. Although she was a nice person, it was hard to follow her problems during class. Her tests were really hard and I failed both of them. But since I passed the final I passed the class. Just do well on the final and you'll be fine

Certainly she rushes alot but a very easy professor. She is very nice so if you don't know something go to her office hours and she will help you. Exams are right off the textbook and she tells you what problems are going to be on it so its easy.

She is very engaged in class and shows interest in her field. She provides examples and explanations for all topics taught. All example questions are from the textbook. She moves the class at a quick but manageable pace. Homework is assigned through Webassign. You receive 2 midterms and 1 final. All quizzes are given at recitation on Fridays.

Comment:
This is the worst professor I have ever had. She is constantly late to class, moves at a rapid pace and refuses to slow down. The methods she uses are outdated, old school math techniques when there are easier ways to teach it, making it more confusing to the students even if you do have prior knowledge on the subject. Midterms easy, finals hard.

Worst math professor ever! Dare to ask her to reexplain herself or slow down and she'll have a fit! She moves way too quickly and if the whole class tells her to slow down she'll have an even worse fit! Avoid her take someone who actually likes teaching not someone who has to!

She is a nice person. She moves fairly quickly though. Total of 3 exams including the midterm and final. The only homework assignments are weekly Web Assign assignments. Never cancels class even when she's sick. She wants her students to do well. A lot of understanding on your own I feel like.

Comment:
she is the easiest math professor in RU. all the problems are from HW she tells you on which problems to focus on before test, and the best thing is SHE DOES EVEN NUMBERS OF PROBLEMS IN CLASS FROM THE BOOK, so when you study you have answers to both odd and even numbers of HW problems. Highely RECOMMENDED> TAKE HER AND YOU"LL GET AN EASY A
