She is a good teacher. Enthusiastic and always willing to help. The class was relatively easy. There were some assignments that were difficult. She expects you to try and be attentive in class. She is very approachable and easy going. Do the HW and you'll be fine

Comment:
She gives easy homework and quiz questions but doesn't give similar ones on the exam- so difficulty level triples for exams. Also, she did not drop a quiz like she said she was going to and crams in weekly exams at the end which was definitely unexpected. Take her if you are going to do all the book problems as well.

Very nice professor who LOVES mathematics. Do your homework, ask Qs if you don't understand smith. Always willing to help. Every class is different. My class she dropped the lowest grade for h/w and was take home final, but I know for other class was a different story .

Comment:
I hated this class. Assignments were awkward and stressful. If you don't learn the material during the lecture, you may be out of luck. There is no textbook to reinforce what is taught in class. There are no practice assignments that lead to graded assignments. It's very easy to get lost during class, and there is a long line for extra help.

This class was easy and so was se. I have mixed feelings about her grading. But overall she's okay. No tests just assignments and a final. Available often for office hours.

Comment:
There's something refreshing about a professor that is both a complete nerd, and an actual person. She will breathlessly fly through a proof like she is making it up on the spot, and then slowly work through actual examples. There's a reason her classes tend to fill up fast. Oh, and it's hard to believe she has kids.

One of Montclair's best. Has a genuine passion for mathematics and is super friendly. Her classes fill up quick (for good reasons), so you may want to camp out on WESS to make sure you get in.

Never take this professor. She teaches as if you already knows the material. Not a good professor.

Come to class, pay attention, take good notes, ask questions when necessary and you'll be fine. Quizzes are fairly easy as are the WebAssigns. She does not try to trick you at all. Try to keep up since she tends to go fast. I would recommend her.

As long as you do the homework correctly and understand her notes, the tests given aren't THAT difficult. The class is pretty enjoyable and she is pretty funny as well. Attendance isn't mandatory but absolutely necessary to understand the curriculum and get good grades.

Very nice lady, extremely smart and talented in Mathematics. Always HW to do - Tests are extremely difficult, she'll give you EC to pick up some points but if you don't do good on tests and struggle with math in general, you might want to stay away. Very hard on grading.

She is a nice lady but she thinks we are at MIT. Everything she says has MIT in it, 'this is the book they use at MIT' this is the test they gave at MIT..etc.. we are MSU not MIT! Shes fine just doesnt grade her own papers so she has no feeling for how hard of a test she gave. Would never take again.
