Comment:

Anyone who likes independent work will like her. She teaches all the information very well. Make sure you do ALL the homework. If you do all the homework and fail the majority of the tests you will pass. Also, make sure you don't miss a class, there is ALOT covered in a 2 hr. period. She was on of my favorite profs this semester.

She was an ok teacher, but did not like her at first. She would make off points for small things on tests. Just do the home work and ask questions and she is ok.

Comment:

Terrible teaching style. This course is almost self taught, she gives an example, then gives you 4 problems to do, gives another example, 4 more for you...you pretty much end up doing an entire homework assignment in class...and the homework sucks too! Terrible, I hate her.

Comment:

THE WORST TEACHER EVER!! She told our class we were stupid and we should all drop out now and we will never succeed in school. The average was a 55%! She was even asked by the head of math if she graded the tests right because thy were so low! VERY BAD - GO FAR AWAY!

I thought she was a great teacher. I admit at first I didn't think I would like her but she ended up being one of my favorite teachers. She cares about her students.

Comment:

I would recommend taking her for math. It is hard to get use to her at first, but she honestly teaches the subject well. She writes notes on the board and does plenty of examples. There is also extra credit on test/quizzes. You do have to study though.

Who are these people bashing this woman? You guys must be really dumb. This class was a piece of cake. She is really nice and she works out every kind of problem you need to be able to do on the board.

TERRIBLE! STAY AWAY!! She can't even do problems on the board without making mistakes. Students in the class have to correct her mistakes that she constantly makes! Grades hard on tests.

Overall okay professor. She doesn't offer much time outside of class for help, and sometimes she doesn't answer questions in class. Tests are easy though, but the grading is hard.

Comment:

She is not a bad teacher. But if we make simple small mistakes on quizes then so many points marked off, but she makes so many mistakes on the board each day & then seems to act like it is our fault. I feel as if she just does examples & doesnt teach.

Very BAD teacher!! You better get the questions on the quiz exactly correct, otherwise you get 5 points off - no matter what. She doesn't teach, she just shows problems out of the book. She is never wrong, you're just dumb.

She is usually very helpful. Easy grading scale. Extra credit on every quiz helps a lot. I would definately take another math class from her.
