Comment:

I agree that she's a nice lady, but her way of explaining the material is very confusing that you'd find yourself relying on the book and Youtube videos more than her. She messes up way too much in class that you're just going to get more confused. Exams are too difficult and her test layouts that she provides to "help" do not help at all.

Comment:

She was a nice lady and offered alot of time to get extra help, but I just couldn't understand her and I HAD HER CLASS TWICE and I made a D both times I tried really hard but I am a horrible test take and she doesn't have any opportunities to make up for it. YOUR WHOLE GRADE us based off of 4-5 test each only 20 questions.

Comment:

She is such a nice lady and is never rude or intimidating. With that said, do not take this lady. I've always been decent at math and I had to withdraw from her class. I've made mostly A's with a few B's here and there so I'm not a slacker by any means. I took another proffesor the next semester and made a 97 in that class. For real stay away.

Horrible math teacher!! She teaches as if we are already supposed to know this material. this was the only class I have ever failed in my life!!! All my other classes I have A's!! She gives tons of home work but you don't get any credit for it, only 4 test with 20 questions or less each. so if you are a bad test taker you will fail

DOESN'T GEAR LECTURE TOWARDS STUDENTS THAT AREN'T A MATH WIZZ. WHEN DOING AN EXAMPLE SHE SKIPS PARTS, & OFTEN MAKES MISTAKES. (LIKE EVERY CLASS) ASKS IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, THEN GET IRRITATED WHEN WE DO. CANT READ HER HANDWRITING, SHE SKIPS AROUND IN THE BOOK INSTEAD OF GOING IN ORDER. ONLY GRADES GIVEN FOR A FEW TEST WHICH ARE IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Ladies and gentlemen if you have never experienced failure at an atomic level, this is your chance. I dont even think she would pass her own class. Nuff said. I wish i was exaggerating but im not. #What? #ImCrying

Comment:

Don't take her class, especially for a low level math. Not accommodating for students at all. Only grades are tests and the final. Tests are 100 points ranging from 12-20 problems and that's it. Sucks at explaining methods, constitantly makes mistakes in her lectures.

Comment:

She is a really sweet lady and really cares about her students, but if math is not your strong suit, then get ready for a wild semester. She doesn't comprehend students who aren't good at math so all of her lectures were wayy over my head. She gives a good amount of bonus, but it will take the jaws of life to make an A in here. Good luck.

Comment:

If you can avoid taking her, do it. She is a nice lady but her teaching is just nearly impossible to understand. She teaches math how she knows it and you basically have to learn it her way or no way. Please don't take her.

She's taught math for so long that she's not slowing down for those that need it. She will upload all the notes from class, but they are all over the place that you can't tell where it starts. Also she will start new material but only give few examples then you're on your own.

Comment:

This lady is truly a horrible teacher. I am an all A student and just finished precal with a an A. Took 098 once with her and got IP took it again and ended up with her and still only got a B. Not because im stupid or this is the hardest class ever but because this is the first math course I took in college and I had NO UNDERSTANDING OR GUIDANCE.

Comment:

Probably the worst professor I've ever had! Her lectures are terrible and she messes up way too often during them and her notes are difficult to read. Her test are very difficult and she grades really tough she doesn't even give you partial credit. I would avoid her unless you're naturally good at math. I had two tutors and still had to drop her.

I have had her two semesters in a row. She is so good at math that she can't comprehend that there are people who aren't good at math. She doesn't know how to TEACH math.

She is all over the place!!!!!!! Class notes are not clear to read, she works on the projector with a sharpie. If you are not a wiz at math and need real help and understanding then this is NOT the teacher for you.

Margaret Thrasher has become my favorite Math teacher. I hated Math before her. Right, it was not easy - I had practice a lot, so much homework, but that's really helped me a lot. Besides, she has a great personality. Funny, caring, stylish and very smart lady.

Comment:

She is the sweetest person ever, but you will have a tough time in her class. Had to take her twice just to get a B. I am an AB student, and this class was hard. Explains problems only the way she understands. Would not recommend unless you want to take her twice. AVOID!
