Comment:

Understandable while explaining during class. No short cuts when explaining,she teaches as it is. Homework, seldom some graphs. Review homeworks. But,there is no other grades besides the exams. No extra points. Nothing. If you take this class you must make sure to do the homework and ask questions when reviewing. She is great in helping out.

Comment:

best professors I've had at ccsu! She does her part in explaining things as best as one can and gives lots of examples, and expects you to do your part in practicing the material. If you actually care about the subject matter, you will get so much out of her class.

Comment:

I took pre-calc with her, and to be honest, it was hard to understand her at first, but once you get by that, she is really an awesome teacher...her tests are fair and she is very helpful. I am on to Calc I now and I have never been so prepared for a class in my life!

Comment:

She knows math like no other. While sometimes her pronounciation was hard to understand, when you learned how she says things and followed her, she was amazing. She did not simply answer a question, but did so by building a base of information for your question...then answered it.

Step by step explanations. Lots of examples. Go to her for extra help if you need it - she loves math and wants you to understand/like it too! She'll take points off if you aren't exacting in your work. Forces good math habits.

Comment:

The problems she does on the board she does rather quickly; it would be better if she slowed down and (with new material) paused after each step so her students could confirm they're doing things right. If she doesn't assign homework, you'd best do some anyway--she teaches at a *VERY* high level.

She is hard and even harder to understand. If students have a question or do not understand something, she treats you like you are dumb.

She is a really good professor but hard to understand. If there are any problems ask her to do it on the board so you can understand what she is talking about.

I think she is an excellent teacher. She is hard to understand at first but definitely knows what she is doing and cares that the students learn. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to do well in mathematics.

the BEST math prof in the department! She is a machine - there is no problem she can't do. I had two classes with her and loved them both. Some people obviously don't appreciate a good teacher - their loss.

Saw bad ratings about her, she really is a good professor, and VERY helpful. If you participate in class, she really takes it easy on you. Sit in front, and make an effort, and you will do fine. Good professor.
