Comment:

Horrible when it comes to teaching. She expects you to remember work sheet problems in order to pass the class. Last time I check, thats not how students are suppose to learn. Take Pre-Calc at Delaware County Community College if you wanna pass.

Comment:

Even though she does take a lot of points of exams, her academic schedule is pretty much straight forward. As long as you do the "worksheets" and do well on quizzes, it's pretty much predictable on what she will give you on exams. Doing homework early before class grants you extra credit, and it can be added onto your exams!

She's really nice, but takes off too many points on exams for minor mistakes. She takes attendance, and uses up every minute of class time but overall she's a great teacher.

The problems she goes over are just like the ones on the hw. Also, she curves all her tests including the final.

Comment:

I took her for pre-calc and she was a great teacher. She spoon-fed all of the material and it was very hard to fail. She was very helpful, before, during, or after class. Also contacted me after class to help me sell a used text-book. This lady is very helpful. I'm embarrassed to have gotten a D. Just show up and take notes, you'll pass just fine.

She's nice and helpful. She explains somehings to a T but somethings it like sh'e talking to herself. If you see her for help, she'll explain it better one-on-one

Comment:

This class was amazingly easy. First of all, you didn't even NEED help because the class was such basic 7th grade math, but if you some how did, she always helped you out. She was very lenient with attendance and she graded fairly. I would take her class again.

I don't think there is any such thing as a good Math teacher because I don't think I have ever had one. McDowell does not teach this course. You have to teach yourself. Too fast and very unhelpful

Can be nice if you want help, but doesn't make too much time for you. She's completely serious and gets right to work. Do the homework and you'll be fine on the tests, not too hard. I didn't like her too much though, I had to correct her on test scores
