I didn't learn much. Very lecture heavy and not super willing to give outside help, she would let me ask two questions then usher me out.

Comment:
Had I not taken Calc I in highschool I would be failing this class. I have learned nothing from her and am surviving using high school notes. She spends all class over explaining one example, leaving you with no time to practice in class yourself and ask question, only watch her drag slowly through whatever she tries to do (and often messes up).

Tough as nails! If you don't understand the topic in class, you sure as hell need to by the time that WebAssign is due. KhanAcademy and Youtube are your friends. You have absolutely no time to slack in her class, which has its ups and downs. Very challenging (even for Calculus I!!!) but you can kiss your life goodbye. Nice though

Comment:
Calculus is tough, and Professor Kadas' class is tougher. My biggest complaint I have with her is that she almost NEVER gives time in class to let you work through problems by yourself, and ask questions if you need it. She gives a million and one examples on the board but sometimes you just need practice. Otherwise, she's pretty fair. LOTS OF HW!

Comment:
If you had not taken a calc course before, then you are in for a rude awakening. Not knowing squat about calc, her up-tempo teaching style was not what I needed nor was it easy to jump into. She definitely knows her stuff, but I do not feel I learned the information, merely shown it.

Homework assignments are difficult, she loves maple. Even though the assignments are difficult they are designed for you to really understand the subject. Use office Hours, exams are very long but fairly easy. She focus a lot on theory

Okay class. Already took calc 1 in high school and Im pretty sure this is the only reason that I understood what was going on. Speaks quickly and jumps from point to point. Pretty lenient about due dates. All hw comes from the text book. Go to her office hours for help!

She picks favorites, and is very judgmental towards those not doing well in her class. She is very stand-offish in office hours and does not help much. Get someone in a higher level math to help you understand whats going on in her class

She could be easier going but things get done. She does tend to not like those who do not pay attention but who doesn't.

She was a bit hard to follow and seemed to play favorites. She was kind of mean to the students who weren't doing so well. I went to her office hours once and they weren't really helpful.

She may seem a little out of it at first, but once you get past that, you find that she really does know what she's doing. She does make mistakes on the board frequently. If she laughs at a student's mistakes, it's probably because she laughs at her own. She taught me how to laugh at my own mistakes. Great teacher.

Z-Sue is pretty much out there. She requires a lot of outside work in order to suceed in our class, which the majority failed. The final exam took over 2 hours. There was lots of memorizing proofs and material that left us all confused. Plus, she literally makes fun of the not-so-smart students by laughing at them in front of the whole class.

She is very nice. Make sure and go to her office for extra help, this is where everything will become clear. She is a fair grader and doesn't ask too much in terms of work and tests. Overall, be prepared to see her outside of class, but it will be worth it.

Without question the worst math teacher I've ever had. Completely unclear in their teaching, redundant in her approach, and a real space case. I'd rather hit myself in the face with a hammer then take another class with her.

She was an awesome teacher. She can be a little loopy at times, but she teaches everything very clearly and obviously loves her job. She is interested in her students, and will always stop and chat with you. One of the nicest professors I've ever had.

Comment:
This class was definately NOT a fun one. She frequently assigns homeworks at the last minute not giving adequate time to complete them and then when we are in class she shies away from doing difficult examples because she "doesn't want to do the work" (that's a quote).
