Comment:

Very helpful, very kind, very fair. Writes alot of good notes on the board. explains everything clearly. always glad to help at office hours with anything. HW is not that much, but can be difficult. takes attendance 5-8 times per semester. drops the lowest midterm grade. STUDY, ask lots of questions, go to office hours, and u'll get A-/A.

Had her for Diff Eq. She was amazing. Shes an awesome teacher and I actually am taking a math class next year specifically because she's teaching it. Attendance isnt mandatory, she curves tests, and she's usually chill about accepting weekly homework late...

Good teacher. Sometimes hard to follow, but will go over everything in her office hours. 3 tests, but she drops 1. Homework problems are a little much, but you get used to them. I'd take her again

Don't listen to the bad reviews. She's not the easiest prof at Fordham but she knows how to teach. She writes/speaks VERY fast but, her notes prepares you for the exams. The lowest exam grade (excluding final) is dropped. You'll get a great grade if you do the hw & study. take her!!!!

Ms. Girardi is a great teacher, take her if you can. Unlike many teachers, she genuinely wants you to do good in her class. I did very little work and I ended up with a B, so if you're looking for a pretty easy grade then take her class.

Comment:

terrible teacher, but she does let you redo your homeworks to get credit back, and corrections on the midterm which is something that no teacher ever does, so she tries to see you do well, but the fact that it has to come to that bc she doesnt know how to teach is bad. you will hate this class with a passion if you take it, and she plays favorites

Comment:

She gives a lot of homework and the homework is taken very seriously because it is seriously graded by her grader. Her tests very comprehensive and long thus you need to study and take copious notes in her class. No midterm, but there are 3 tests and 1 final. She has no personality; can be sardonic and indifferent sometimes.

Comment:

Math Methods Business I: very good teacher. She goes at the rate the class needs, but wont stay too l ong on difficult material, you need to go in for extra help. she's very very nice, funny at times, and her tests aren't too bad. Usually they are curved a lot, which is great, but if you need help ask in class before it becomes too confusing

Very nice professor who knows what she's talking about. 3 midterms, but she drops the lowest one. Homeworks dont count against you unless you never do them. The final is 40% of your grade so be prepared.

Dr. Girardi is one of the best professors at Fordham. She may give tricky tests but she's a fair grader and is just trying to see if someone gets it. Wonderful personality, so sweet!

Comment:

Only take this class if you are a Math major and even then be ready for something different. She expects entirely too much from her students. Unclear explanations that are just taken right out of the book. Expect a huge workload and some biased towards non-math majors. Doesn't bring anything new to clear up anything. OTOH, always ready to help.

IM TERRIBLE AT MATH TO BEGIN WITH, BUT GIRARDI MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO SEE HER STUDENTS DOING WELL. TAKES INTEREST IN THOSE WHO WANT TO DO WELL AND SHOW IT BY ASKING QUESTIONS. DEF A GREAT PERSON TO DEAL WITH AND TALK TO ONE ON ONE.. IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE A MATH.. TAKE HER

This teacher really knows her stuff and even though the class is tough, it is the best math class I've ever taken. Highly recommend the prof since she cares about students who go to her for help.
