Online class, very easy to take, Professor is great at communication and working with you if you are struggling, even after deadlines have passed. Responds fast to emails. I would take an online class again, I even enjoyed the book review!

Comment:

I HATED stats but LOVED Professor Koenig. I absolutely would not have passed if it weren't for how willing she was to help me during her office hours. She would never make me feel stupid for not understanding and was always so patient with me. She's very kind and I love that she doesn't use mymathlab. Homework is old fashion paper and pencil.

Comment:

Professor Koenig cares so much about her students. She was very understanding on needing a few extra days so i could get into math lab for help. I took her course online. I did not take advantage of math lab until the end of class. If i had gone in earlier i believe i would have got a better grade. She also puts lots of help on canvas.

Comment:

Very poor communication. When reaching out to her, she would say very little. Not helpful at all. Grade is almost completely based off tests. Lots of homework & it barely counts towards the final grade. She wouldnt round me up 1%, even though i took multiple attempts on tests to try to get the best grade I could. Barely replies to emails.

Comment:

I would never take this professor again. Online or on campus. Zero involvement from instructor all semester unless you reach out to her. Even then, its vague, short answers. Instructor doesnt update homework grade until the end of semester so if you miss assignments, they wont be factored until after the final. Tests are very difficult.

This professor is decent. She explains lectures very well just make sure you do your homework and study and you should be fine. Lecture isnt mandatory but you should show up most of the time.

Comment:

She is such a nice lady! She was always willing to meet outside of class to help with any questions anyone were to have. She breaks things down so they become much more simple than other math professors I have had. She doesnt teach too fast to the point where I lose her either. If you don't understand something she will always try other ways!

Online class. So MUCH HOMEWORK. I have spent so much time over the semester completing homework. It is time consuming and really hard to not have an inclass professor. I would recommend taking her in class if you want the best chance to succeed in this course.

Comment:

I took her class as a summer class and I loved how fast the class went just to get it over and done with. However, as a teacher she didn't go to fast and made sure everyone knew what they were doing. You do have a worksheet due everyday but sometimes you get it done in class. Majority of they grade is off of tests (60%) and the final (20%).

Comment:

She is brilliant. I barely had to crack open my textbook for her class. Her exams aren't too difficult, however, with that being said, do NOT neglect to study for them. The homework is not particularly hard either. Just make sure you know the material well. Her cumulative final is pretty tough, so make sure you review EVERYTHING beforehand.

Comment:

I'm currently taking a math class online, and I am not impressed with her! There are hardly any notes to help with homework or to help with studying for the tests. There are concepts that are on the exam, that were never given as homework or had information provided for. I do ALL of my homework, take notes, & study and I barely have a "C".

Comment:

I have Professor Koenig for two math classes and I'm not very good at math. She has made it much easier for me to keep up with both classes. If I ever had to take another math class I would definitely request Professor Koenig.

Comment:

She doesn't clearly explain concepts and takes forever to over problems. She does one example for the homework that's several sections long. Not really enough examples in class to do the hw and the tests are not like the practice exams she gives.

Comment:

She struggles to convey concepts to the students, and she takes to long to get to the point. The online homework is pointless because it doesn't relate to the tests. She wasn't in class enough. Koenig is nice, but nice won't cut it. She should get rid of the online homework, and she should teach off of the paper assignments.

Comment:

Professor Koenig is the worst teacher I have ever had. She is horrible at explaining the material that she covers,and she barely covers material. She hardly shows up to class. She was not present for one exam we had this semester. She takes at least 48 hours to respond to a question if you have one. I wish I had more room to type. THE WORST TEACHER
