Dr. Porter is an amazing professor. She will talk about her cats a lot in class. She is really helpful and she explains everything in details even unnecessary things. But she is great and its a super easy and interesting class.

Dr. P is the best. She is so funny&makes class fun. Tough grader on homework/tests, but is willing to help w/ corrections, explanations, & many many review sessions. The class starts off really easy & then just gets harder&harder, so don't think you don't have to try as hard as the semester progresses. Don't worry, it's a "low pressure situation"

Dr. Porter is a great professor. She comes to class with a plan, is great at explaining the material, repeats herself all the time (so you'll never be confused), assigns an appropriate amount of homework for the course, is a fair grader on tests and quizzes and tells you exactly what to expect for everything. Would definitely take this class again.

Dr. Porter is a truly a great teacher. She is so clear in her lectures and gives examples for most questions that are going to be on the exam. The test is just a variation of the homework and the examples in class. Short quizzes once every 2 weeks. Always wants to set up help sessions at convenient times and will help you if you ask.

Class is pointless, honestly. She gives too many examples (some not even relevant) and just wastes class time doing this.

Didn't like her class at all. She took off points without substantiation and gave more assignments than needed. She also did not even add in homework to our overall grade.

I think Dr. Porter is a great professor. I am terrible at math and I got an A in her class. This is coming from a girl that got nothing but C's in math all throughout high school. I took everything up to AP statistics. Dr. Porter explains everything so well and is always there if you need help. I really liked her.

Comment:
Porter was a reader for my comp senior year & taught one of my freshman year classes. My experience with her during my comp was pretty awful. She made passive aggressive condescending comments on my paper instead of just pointing out errors. Also made grammatical "corrections" that were incorrect. Not a bad teacher, but bad news for grading papers

Obviously the comments here are written by the members of her sycophantic little tribe.I don't see how anyone thinks she's helpful. She just wants everyone to like her and she plays favorites for those who demonstrate it (like bringing her presents, which she asks for!). I don't know many other students who like her - comments below are suspicious

Dr. Porter is an amazing professor! You want to come to class everyday, and she's absolutely hilarious! She prepares you for the tests and is always available to help. She is one of the reasons why I am continuing to consider a math major. Taking her class is definitely worthwhile.

I love Dr. Porter! Take her for any math class you have to take. She is so funny, and soooo nice and sooo helpful. She is willing to help you at any time, regardless of the expense. I had trouble in her class becuase of my own inability to understand, but if I had any other teacher I wouldve had to drop the class the second week. TAKE HER CLASS!
