She is tough but she is good. She helps people and answers questions in a nice manner. I did drop her class though because the grading was very bad.

Comment:

I think if you know going into her class that she's tough and takes points off for every little thing, you will know what to expect from Skocik. She is nice and passionate about math, but she'll take points off if your sentence is in past tense, when she preferred it in present (not joking). She offers a lot of Bonus (34 points in my class) though.

I had the Web class- TONS OF WORK and tests, but if you do it you're pretty much guaranteed an A. Set due dates, so there is no confusion. Have to buy online program for like $60/70. Responds to emails right away & is willing to see you if you need help.

It is true she does not go over material extremely well but she is willing to help anyone and is overall very nice. Her class is my least favorite just because I find it boring, but is overall easy.

Comment:

Do not take all the negativity you read about Dr. Skocik on here to heart. She has a great passion for mathematics, which is very obvious. However, she will not spoon feed you information; you have to really study the material to earn your grade; This IS college. She is also very helpful if you make the time to go see her during her office hours.

Comment:

She is horrible! Talks to the board. Goes through stuff super fast and expects you to know it. Don't bother raising your hand because she doesnt answer questions!Extemely rude and will not help you out. Stay away from this lady, i dont know how she became a professor at a college because she is can't explain anything!

Comment:

Now keep in mind- I had her for a web class. I was a D student in High School for Math, but took Fundamentals of Math web class with her. I got an A. Once you figure out how the class functions, it's really easy, all she has to do is send notices for when homework and tests are due. I highly recommend this class to fill the Math GenEd.

She is rude and takes forever to explain things that the entire class has down. She constantly makes mistakes and messes up her lesson plan all the time.

Comment:

Seriously she needs to be re-evaluated!!!! She talks to the bored and goes so fast in her teaching then just expects you to know what she is talking about. She also will NOT answer your questions, she'll tell you to wait until the end and when you do she tells you to go to the Math lab. Bottom line AVOID!!!!!!!!!

She didn't give me an extension on my online class on a BEREAVEMENT LEAVE. She told me I needed to make arrangements to have a computer available to me while I was across the country for a funeral. I am on my way to the Dean about this situation... HORRIBLE TEACHER.

Horrible teacher!!! She is of no help if you need some. Avoids ALL eye contact with students! Speaks to the board. Doesn't follow the book, expects us to follow homework from the book which is immpossible. Highly NOT recommended!!!! HORRIBLE TEACHING SKILLS!!

Comment:

Dr. Skocik is not the person she is made out to be on here. It's obvious that she is very passionate about mathematics, but she has trouble conveying her knowledge and passion to students. Arguably, she makes the material too challenging, but if you keep up with the assignments, you will do okay. Try not to take her, though.

Comment:

AHHH! Not only is she a horrific instructor but she constantly talks down on her students and develops an extremely sarcastic attitude (and that's if you're on her good side)! If you end up on her bad side, then you will have Hell to pay. Believe me. And, whoever said that "she has no touch with reality" is totally correct. Bottom Line: AVOID!!!!!!

This class is a nightmare. She makes the material so much harder than it really is. Her lectures are indescribibly incoherent. The exams are excrutiating. She has a poor attitude when you ask her for help. I definitely would not recommend her.
