Dr Smith brings energy to a class that easily gets dry. She expects your best, but will happily help you if further explanation is needed.

Comment:
I dont have ADHD but sitting in this class surely has to be about as close as one can get to the real thing. Mrs. Smith is constantly thinking out loud, hopping from topic to topic and going down rabbit holes. She is very hard to follow and rarely explains problems. No extra credit. No curve. Good luck.

Not an extremely hard class, but you do need to show up and try. Professor Smith is super nice outside of class, and will gladly help you with your questions. :)

I did not like this class at all. One of the hardest classes I've ever taken. She is an average teacher, pretty clear lectures and ready to help when you'll need it because the material is not easy.

I hated probability and stats. On our syllabus it said what book to get, and then she was working from another book. I got some answers right on a test and they were counted wrong for whatever reason. She rambles a lot and "thinks out loud"

Dr. Smith is a great professor! She is tough, and her tests consist of a great number of "terms and concepts" along with working out specific math problems which was something new to me considering it was a math course. If you pay attention in class and put forth the effort, you will do fine.

Incredibly helpful during her office hours. She goes quite fast during her lectures and you're normally pretty lost. However, after looking through the optional HW in the book, it's all repetition. If I had any other teacher I would have absolutely failed due to my own mathematical ineptitude. Dr. Smith was a wonderful, very nice teacher.

I had a hard time keeping up. The only thing you do in class is copy notes and she does a few examples. She never gives you problems to in class yourself. Just not the right teacher for me.

Personally, I hated this class. Dr. Smith was a sweet lady but her class was extremely boring. I would def. recommend doing the online homework because it helps prepare you for the tests. You can take it as many times as you want for practice or to try for a better grade. As long as you attend class regularly and do the homework, you will do fine.

Good instructor and fair. You must study and do the homework and go over notes before exams. Gives handouts but you need book for access to MathXL lab online.

I thought she was excellent. She was clear and tried to write down all the steps to the problems she was working. Tests were similar to the homework online and practice problems in the book. Look in the book to learn how to do the things on your TI83+

Dr. Smith was great! This is a pretty hard class, but she's more than willing to help. Homework is online and you can take it as often as you want. She responds quickly to emails. Her tests are different from the online homework and somewhat difficult. Great professor overall.. she's funny, and she really knows her stuff!

I'm not completely sure why but I thought she was hilarious. The class seems like it should be really easy but at times it is pretty difficult. Not the best teacher in the world but not the worst either. If you do the online homeowork and use the online practice problems to review for tests an A is manageable, but it's not easy.
