Comment:

It is a good thing that the syllabus changes because it gets the hole class moving up to the next thing or spending more time on a topic. Is always organized and has good notes to take a look at. Overall with math there is no need for being organized because of this don't get upset when she starts reveling what is going to be on the test more than.

overall she's a great teacher! the way she teaches is great. Mosts students that have written bad reviews about her probably didn't even participate or asked questions. Show up, ask questions, and study and bamn. easy A. However she CAN be very disorganized which bugged me at times but she's very helpful and cares for her students.

This course is about getting the meaning of the topics presented, not just following steps to get an answer. It's harder but I'm learning a lot more... She is organized and very clear.

Comment:

She's constantly frazzled, skipping around on her notes and avoiding answering student's questions. She's one of those "this makes complete sense to me, why aren't you all getting it?!" type of professors. She tends to do this a lot. Her "strict" syllabus is constantly changing. Wouldn't recommend to someone needing structure or helpful guidance.

Great professor! I really recommend her MATH15 summer session. The text she uses is really good, she's clear, and I liked the homework program WebAssign most of the time. The house buying project is also really interesting.

Good professor who really wants you to learn the material but can be a tough grader. Most of what you learn is from lectures so don't skip class or you'll fall behind! She really makes you work for your grade, but if you take advantage of office hours it'll help!

Hands down the best! She is very clear. She loves Statistics which makes her class interesting and fun! Great real life examples! I learned to appreciate Statistics because of this class. But not easy to get an A in her class.

Comment:

A Professor with good intentions, but completely blunders the execution. The few assignments are incredibly tedious and unwelcoming, the lectures are boring and sometimes irrelevant, and the online homework relies on the cancer that is Pearson. Seems like a good Professor for lower-level math, but absolutely steer clear of her for anything higher.

I enjoyed this class. Her Lectures are clear, relevant, and practical. She recommends reading the book but her lectures were enough for me. Her exams are tough but she drops the lowest test.

Comment:

This professor treats non-science and non-math majors as math majors. She tests you not on the subject but on how you will be using the math in future. Clearly does not understand that if we needed all that math we would have been a math major. Ridiculously serious for a non major math course.

I actually understand Statistics! Professor Faccuseh is clear and provides great examples. She usually explains the reasoning behind the formulas so that can get really challenging but doesn't expect you to reproduce this on exams.

Comment:

Math is not my strength by any means. I thought Professor Faccuseh would be a solid choice but turns out i was wrong. Her teaching style was not helpful, she would try to give examples but were lengthy that i would forget what she was originally trying to explain. Nevertheless, she encourages questions and is willing to help you during office hours

She's someone that out in a lot of effort to make her point clear to the class, if you have question about anything just go and ask her! She listen to your reasoning and try to come up with a fair solution. Taking her stats50 right now and love it :)

Professor Faccuseh is the best math teacher that I ever had in PCC. She is very patient and explains the lectures very clearly. This is the first time that I can fully understand the whole math lecture. I wish I wish I can take her for all the math classes!!!

She is one of the best math teachers I had at PCC. I had her when it was her first time back from a year of leave and she did great. She answers all your questions, very patient for the class, and if she sees that you try, she will guarantee pass you. Expect a lot of homework because it is a math class, obvs. If you're gonna take Math 15, TAKE HER.

Comment:

I am terrible at math, but got a B in Faccuseh's Math 15 course. She is a good teacher, and her tests are pretty easy. Not too much homework, we work in pairs a lot during class. She can be easily distracted and talk about non-math things a lot. Recommend her if you are not good at math and need a clear professor, was not too hard to get B
