Comment:

The course material is difficult, and the class itself is structured as a lecture, which is pretty inconvenient for learning, but this Professor definitely knows her stuff! She's willing to give you extra help but you have to seek her out for it and show her that you are trying too, not just complaining. I prob only passed due to the great effort.

Comment:

Never again. She was nice in person, but class was a nightmare. Her tests usually consist of about 10 HARD questions, and her book is poorly written, offering no chance for extra practice. The worst is she takes off for the littlest mistakes - even if you did the problem right. The same goes for her quizzes, which you can fail with just one mistake

Comment:

This woman knows her stuff. She wrote the textbook for this class. There's homework everyday and a test every week. The tests are pretty hard cause she's a hard grader. She wants everything done the RIGHT way. The class itself isn't too bad. But those tests are killer. We'll see how the final goes. *dies*

Comment:

Ok, so she isn't easy. Her tests are hard and so are the quizes but as long as you pay attention in class, follow what she's writing on the board and do your homework, you should be ok. If you do what she wants you to do not only do you get a good grade but you also learn all you need in order to get an A in calc. I'd take her again.

Comment:

I would describe her as a old woman who hates everyone. She could care less about her students. Quiz every Friday. Tests are freakishly hard. AVOID HER! Worst teacher ever! Can not teach. Oh and get this they write their own books so what you take notes on in class and it's the same thing in the text. So if you don't understand you doomed.

Comment:

This woman is HORRIBLE. Avoid her like the BLACK PLAGUE. There is no way to take any type of decent notes that can assist you;the info in her book is limited and I found out that she teaches to push out students from her class and not to teach. SHE IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT. I cannot understand why is she still allowed to teach.

Comment:

She's a nice person (and plays favorites with anyone who shows interest) but as a teacher, she's quite difficult. She's a very tough grader and does take off for the tiniest errors, and her book is pretty limited. The key to passing is doing ALL the homework and make sure to use the tutoring center. Fortunately, she curves a lot at the end.

Comment:

If you can avoid it, do NOT take Berger. I am a straight A,B student and I had to fight tooth and nail to pull a C-. She knows the subject very well but doesn't particularly care if you learn it. She seems to feel Calculus is only for math majors and wants to weed the rest out by tests that only someone with natural math skills could pass.

Comment:

if you have to take precalc, you're screwed. she's the only teacher, and she's very difficult. impossible to get an a, tests are hard as hell, quizzes get worse each time. must study and do homework, and ask her questions. she makes you know the "language" of math. **** at grading, takes points off for every little mistake.

Comment:

her class was horrible at first but once you get to trig its not so bad. you MUST study and do the hw. she takes attendance EVERY class. VERY easy to fail; almost impossible to get an A. && she loves taking points off for everything, very maticulous, treats math like it's english, wants you to know the "language" of math...

Comment:

I'm not going to lie, this class was extrememly difficult. Going to her office hours is highly recomended. Tests are REALLY hard but quizes are easy(ish). Do the homework - it will help. Take her if you dont mind doing a little work. :) Overall not too bad.

Comment:

Hmm, she knows her stuff and does her job. She's a Nazi when it comes to minute details. I.E. missing equal signs is 5pts off and you need an equal sign for every line you use, etc. That's my only complaint. It's precalc, you're either good at it or you don't care. Do your work and you'll do fine

Have to go to class, have to do homework. She's a nice teacher with good intentions, but a hard class. Exam problems ten times harder then anything in class or on hw.

she is a very good professor. she is very helpful to students. she always suggests that studets should visit her at her office if they have probelms. there is no experiential hours and the tests are simple compared to homwork.
