Comment:
Flapan talks really fast, but makes it clear from the beginning of the semester that she has no problem being stopped to answer questions, or being asked to slow down. She really cares about her students, and even though her tests can be hard, she will help you in any way she can so that you understand the material.

Comment:
I think the following anecdote sums her up perfectly. She gave us a quiz one time that SHE couldn’t even solve. We spent 40 minutes watching her try to solve a question that SHE HERSELF wrote. She laughed it off and gave almost the whole class a failing grade on the quiz. Great professor right? I wouldn't touch this class with a fifty-foot pole.

If you wish to learn something, take this class. It is hard, it will take up a lot of your time, but it is really rewarding. Especially for math majors, if you are looking to get good at reading and writing math, this class is ideal with Flapan

Professor Flapan is very helpful but the class moves at a fairly slow pace. We didn't learn integrals until the last 3 class periods.

Prof Flapan will keep you busy. There will be homework every night, there are group assignments and a project near the end of the semester. That said, there is tutoring the night before every class. You are required to participate in class (embarrassing for some, helpful for all). Flapan is energetic and entertaining. Good Prof.

She's the reason I'm studying topology. Awesome lectures; super fast and yet very clear. Hard yet rewarding homework.

Flapan is wonderful...if you work hard and go to the mentor sessions and her office hours, you should be fine. She is very straightforward and meticulous, and really cares about her students. I highly recommend taking math 101 with her, esp. if you're a math major, such a useful class! You have to work hard though.

Holy crap. if you want a professor to basically beat you down academically, give you enough homework for 5 hours including meeting at night at least once a week with your group, and then suffer the embarassment of presenting a problem..... this is the prof for you. and if you want to be greatful for everything that you learned, and even though it was hell, you still want madd respect for her, this is also the prof for you. (but i still got a****ty grade)

Class goes a little too quickly for me, and homework takes me a long time. It will be much easier if you've taken a class beyond linear algebra first.
