Comment:

Havent taken a math class in 10 yrs so was nervous. But she made the material seem so easy. She explained concepts so well. Practice your skills with the homeworks over and over again and you wouldnt have to worry about the exams. Exams are pretty easy so long as you attend class and practice. Shes really nice & accesible! nice to look at too.

Comment:

This was my second time taking math 103. Professor Giles really knows how to teach. I suck at math but she made it easy to understand by far the best math teacher I have taken in my life. Do well on the exams and finish homework online. The homework program is a bit expensive no way to get around it.

She definitely cares about her students education and wants to see everyone get a good grade. She gives a study guide before each exam and will answer any questions during lecture. Homework is online and due once every week. Attendance is mandatory for your breakout session and counts towards your grade.

Love Ms. Giles she is very easy to understand and she takes you through the course step by step. I have excelled in this class and almost get bored cause once she teaches it you know it. But she goes at the pace of the slowest person there. Her test are easy if you do the online homework before the test. Bit of a stickler for the attendance though.

I believe Mrs. Giles is the best math teacher I've ever! All the information she gives is very clear, and she makes math feel easy. Yes, their is no extra credit but honestly its not needed. As long as you show up and pay attention you should do fine. Mrs. Giles is a fun, and patient teacher. I would definitely retake her class!!

Perfectly passable in every way. Almost nothing stands out about her besides her perfectly manicured nails. Provided note sheet for every class, easy hw through mymathlab, and notes allowed on tests. How could you not pass?

Comment:

Mrs. Giles is by far the best math professor ever. She takes her time to answer every question you might have and her lectures are easy to understand. I took her summer class so there was homework everyday, but nothing too crazy. She gives you a study guide before the test, if you know how to do everything on the study guide you'll get an A.

Awesome teacher, had homeworks on mathlab and there were two test we took at the school, but the study guide offered ensured an easy A as long as you knew how to do everything on the study guide. I am really bad at math but this class was so easy if you did all the work.

I took this class at SDSU and she was by far my favorite professor yet. This is a tough class and she made it easier to understand. She put out study guides before every test so you know exactly what to study for the exams. She really cares for her students and will stop the lecture to answer questions. 10/10 would recommend.

@ SDSU. This subject is hard, but she is a good teacher overall, and gives out some great study guides. Beware that the final is a department final that she did not create, so do well on everything up until that point and you should be fine. Grades on curves and gives out extra points if you go to her office to discuss tests. I recommend.

Prof Giles was a great stats teacher. She prepares packets of notes for each chapter and you follow along on the projector. I should add that she has the most beautiful hand-writing I have ever seen. She is also very responsive to emails and will answer your questions quickly.

I will give Prof. Giles credit to make Precalc as understandable as possible(but Precalc is not easy :( ).There are 4 exams, 1 is cumulative. And there are homeworks which are due on Sundays.

It math not my fav subject. She was a good teacher gives you her packet of notes and you follow along and write in what she is doing. 5 tests in total non get dropped but no quizzes. The homework in online, you dont need to buy a book but you need to get the online homework (MyMathLab). Does a review before the exam! Gives out study guide!

Comment:

I took Intermediate Algebra with Prof. Giles and got a B with only studying from the homework and the handouts for the exams, not that it was easy, but because she explains everything clearly and carefully. Paying attention is extremely vital to be able to do well. If she were teaching Calculus, I would take her over any of the other professors.

Wish there were more like her. I took her online class and it wasn't so hard as long as you do the work. 2 exams mid term and final at school. quiz and homework each week and those are your grades. she replies quick for an email. she's on top of everything. Take her class you will learn.

Comment:

Great professor. No nonsense or unnecessarily hard material and has chapter reviews that actually has problems similar to the test. From a person that had two previous Math 178 classes (& professors) and failed them both, math is hard, but it is her way of teaching and review material is what made this class great and understandable.
