Comment:

I will not take this class if I was you. She does not like pencils, she intentionally makes her problems EXTREMELY hard. Lots of Hw, and not graded at all. The only grades are the Test and extremely hard Bonus points. ( Definitely no HELP). She isn't going to help if you ask any questions. She answers indirectly Do not take her PLEASE! Terrible.

Comment:

Only write in pen because apparently pencils aren't good enough for her, you will be assigned a lot of homework that is not even graded, your grade will be consisted of 4 tests and MAYBE "bonus" points IF you get the questions right. You will not be able to use a graphing calculator. The first day I went to this class, was the same day I dropped it

Comment:

Unorganized teaching style and doesn't teach from the book. She *tries* to teach you new ways that are SO unhelpful and confusing. When signing up for classes even the advisors say stay away. Take my advice and don't take her class.

Comment:

Word of advice? RUN and change classes if you see her on your schedule. Terrible teaching style and she expects you to know material BEFORE she teaches it. If it's something new, she wants you to master it after 5 minutes of learning it. Ridiculously hard and with my experience, worst prof I've had in my 3 years at MTC .

Comment:

If you see this lady on your schedule immediately change teachers! She is the worst math teacher here. Anything you learn in class or in the textbook is never on the test. And she's very picky, if you don't do something her way it's not the right way. If you ask a question she will not answer it properly. The class only has 2 people left now...

Comment:

Prof is often late. Lectures are short and sometimes even crammed in after tests. Prof expects you to understand the material quickly and gets frustrated easily. Not easy to talk to or listen to. Grade 5 tests (80%) and a final (20%). Only very few points of wiggle room to improve. If you are bad at testing or need a clear lecture, AVOID.

Comment:

Do yourself a favor and don't take her. She tries to teach math in a way I've never seen before in my life, and doesn't even teach it well. Unorganized, always late, keeps you late, and expects you to have something mastered after 4 minutes of teaching. We started this semester with about 30 students in the class. There are now 6. Had to withdraw.

RUNNNN!! This class was way too advanced and she expects you to remember everything you've learned. She doesn't explain what she means and doesn't elaborate when you ask her something not understanding. I don't recommend this class for anyone.

Took her for MAT102, Everything was too advanced. She expects you to understand the material. You basically are learning complex material in a rush. I wouldn't recommend this class for people not genuinely good in math.

I wouldn't recommend the class. She expects you to know "proper terms" of ever single thing you ever learned in a math class. She's over the top during lecture. Head the warning, just don't!

She doesn't teaches that is on the curriculum. She arrives late except for testing. None of the section isn't on the test she just make things up on the top of her head. She needs to be fire from the math department.

Comment:

She teaches math completely different from the way I have been learning it my whole life. She makes these crazy problems up off the top of her head and then expects you to know the answer. She would show up late and whole you late to make up for it. Most of the class including myself ended up withdrawing or failing by the end of the semester.

Comment:

I came in knowing I would pass. I've made A's in math all throughout high school, but as soon as I took her class I started failing. I don't normally blame teachers, but it isn't the material, it's her. Heads up!!! Do not take her class because 9/10 you will fail.

Comment:

This is by far the hardest class I have ever taken. She gives homework but does not grade homework. Five tests are the only grades you get, there is NO extra credit. I stayed on top of hw assignments and received tutoring regularly and still failed the exams. Has made my first semester at MTC very difficult. I will not be returning to school again.

Comment:

I have never been bad at math and made A's all in high school on the same exact algebraic material. Not her class. I had to drop before the midterm in order to save my GPA. And I do not just drop classes. I would absolutely not recommend her unless you're very good at math. Our class started around 35 students and my mid-semester only 8 remained.

Comment:

The most difficult thing I have done in a while is thinking I was going to pass Anderson's class. I was fore warned about the difficulty. But was suckered on my registration with a class and the instrutor was TBA. First day of class Wanda Anderson. She has a nice personality, but she teaches on an advance level. I believe this is done on purpose.
