Comment:

Professor Snow does not use a text book, all the material is on line. If you print it you have a better chance. The test grades is all you are graded on. So show up or not, up to you. She really cares if you learn the material, if you care. I am not strong in Math, I did all the homework and printed the material and I got a B.

Not only will you have to buy a textbook off campus with your own money that financial aid does not cover, but she is very hard to keep up with and once she's said it once, it done and over with. Moving on.

The perfect professor. Answers ALL questions about homework & practice problems. Tests are the only graded assignments & homework is extra credit. Tests based completely off homework. Willing to help if extra help is needed. Has detailed notes on ALL textbook sections on Canvas. If you don't get an A, it's not her, it's you.

Very good teacher. Her own textbook which is a amazing just have to put it in a blinder and already set up. Kinda goes to fast when doing problems but just have to keep up. Yes I see her get upset when people show up late to class. To be honest it's just rude to show up late anyway. I would take her again.

Comment:

Professor Snow teaches by working though the problems in a way that is easy to understand. I am not a math person but I did well in this class and if I could take her for all my math classes I would! The textbook isn't really a textbook, it is just worksheets she has compiled, so it is useful. And if you need help, she is always willing to help.

Comment:

I liked her class because there was a lot of repetition when it came to math problems and I seemed to remember the concepts a lot better because of it. She can be dispassionate at times, but it personally made me work harder because I felt as though I needed to prove her wrong. Basically, if you work well with repetition and spite, take her class.

Comment:

Prof Snow is probably one of the best teachers I've ever had. Her teaching style is very simple, if you ask questions she will answer them clearly. She made the "textbook'. Homework is considered EC and grades are based on tests. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a refresher in Algebra or anyone really struggling.

Professor Snow is a great teacher. The class moves really fast but she gives so much help online you could theoretically pass the class without even going. If you do the homework its extra credit on the test. On blackboard she has explanations to every problem. Really great teacher, fast paced, tells you what you need to know. Would take again.

Comment:

This class is NOT worth taking with this teacher. She writes her own textbook, so there are no examples and the answer key does not show you how to do the problem. It only has answers. She does a lot of mental math so you are left asking her how she got the answer. Save yourself and find a different teacher.

Comment:

I had a horrible semester with her. First off the "textbook" is her handmade version, which made it harder to study for exams because its just math problems. Also, she is overall stuck up and whenever any student would ask for help she would get frustrated and put them down. Afterwards no one would want to ask her for help because of her attitude.

Comment:

She only speaks to half of the classroom, while turning her back to the other half. She stands over you to see how you're doing the work. If you ask her a question she gets irritated and you're left feeling stupid. There is total favoritism and it's obvious. If you are reading this, you wanted to know how she teaches right? DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!

Comment:

She doesn't use a textbook, but uses a packet that she wrote herself, its about $30. Most of the answers of the homework and the exercises are incorrect. But when you tell her about that, she says "you should already know how to do it, you shouldn't rely on the answers" or "I'm just lazy"

Comment:

She does have extra credit, but only if you have the "correct algebra" by her standards will often write "problematic" on your paper, and will not give credit unless with the people around you. Even though she has no way of knowing, because she is never looking around.

Comment:

Mrs. Snow, was good. NOT Very bad at teaching and clarity. If you have a question she looks at you like a cow looks at an oncoming train. She will then proceed to tell you to get "outside help", because she doesn't understand how you don't understand, because you don't have "number sense". Very derogatory towards students who ask questions BEWARE!

Comment:

This professor uses a textbook she devised to save students money. However, it is really just problems without explanations. I had a difficult time learning from her and her textbook. It was difficult to get extra help because she wants things done a specific way. I would not take a class taught by her again.
