Comment:

Truly the worst Professor on this Campus. I could not exaggerate if I could. I've never done a rating, not even for the good teachers, but she has changed my mind on rating on professors. Very unorganized, not fair, and would rather see you fail than succeed. The amount of homework she gives you is unbearable and only worth 10% of your grade.

She is so caring and lovely. I think she is the best math teacher in my life. She also majored in psychology so you can also learn how we learn and you can also learn the way preparing the test or way improve your mathematical skills. She is kind and friendly. She has lots of interest in caring students. She was the best! Thann you!

Comment:

FOR "D" AND "C" STUDENTS: Do NOT take this professor! Her lectures are very long and tedious, she is unable to clearly communicate a concept, and she will not round grades up .5%, EVEN IF you have attended every single class, participated every single class and tried your best. "A" and "B" students will do okay in here.

Comment:

grades are mainly based off your test scores. There is a lot of HW, however it does prepare you for the test. Homework must be turned in on webassign and on paper. check canvas for Hw updates. She will tell you if there is a quiz. Retook this class and received a B. Test are easy compared to the last class I took. Participation matters. Go 2 class

Comment:

She's really caring but gives you weekly quizzes and almost weekly exams. Will give you quizzes with in two days after teaching the subject. Gives you a lot of online homework (web assign), and expects you to study all chapters before the exam. If you're good at math, highly recommend. If you're not good at math, don't take it.

Great professor. Tries really hard to give lots of examples and make sure that people understand the material. Show up and pay attention. That's not asking for much!

Comment:

Professor Ceballos is really caring, and she'll answer all your questions step by step, so you'll know what she's talking about. Math is hard itself, so don't blame the professor for failing the course. She's really nice, you won't regret taking her class.

Comment:

I don't know why lots of negative comments are here. I really think Ms. Ceballos is an excellent professor. For people who say she takes away your phone during the lecture, please, you are not elementary students, she mentions at the very beginning of the semester that she doesn't allow phone use in her class. This a math class, not phone class.

Comment:

She's a very caring professor and had good communication with students. She makes sure everyone understands the subject before move on the next one. Quite a lot of homework/mymathlab but they are very close to the test/exam. She would stay extra after class to answer any of your question and make sure to use her office hours.

Comment:

She makes every single person in the class raise their hand to get everyones attention. She will not continue letter unless EVERYONE has a hand up. She will take your phone away even if you were just checking time or using a calculator. Tests score will be given to you two weeks later and homework grades will be missing. Expect tons of homework!

Comment:

After taking Ceballos for Math 125, I found Math 131 to actually be pretty easy because I was so prepared. This is a college math course, so of course there will be lots of homework but doing it will prepare you for the exams. Take her if you really want to learn math and be prepared for future math classes. She will also help u if u struggle.

Comment:

She depends on MyMathLab a lot. She kind of treats her students as if they were children. She falls behind a lot in her lessons. However if you're good at math, this should be an easy class. She regularly updates grades on canvas, so that's good. Her tests and quizzes are related to the lectures and homework, so there will be no surprises.

Comment:

Ceballos was one of the few terrible teachers I had at PCC. Granted, she is a nice person at heart, she's just not that caring of a teacher. She is a messy lecturer, gives unnecessary homework, and won't budge on the grade she thinks you deserve.

Comment:

Angela Ceballos is a difficult professor to learn from. She is regularly unprepared for lectures and quickly fell behind her scheduled lesson plan during my class with her. She struggles to explain core concepts at length when queried and is very dependent upon group work and online homework to fill in the gaps. Not recommended.

Comment:

Prof Ceballos is super into math and the lectures are good when she really gets into it. I like how during her lectures, she stops to make us work on problems on our own and makes sure we understand before continuing I normally hate math but she helped me out. Def would take again she's such a sweetheart

Comment:

I do not recommend this instructor. Reasons why: Does not give a study guide, does not give exams based on HW. BIG ONE: Does not go over exams when she hands them back to see where you went wrong, so you can prepare for the Final Exam. She just hands them back at the END of class and has YOU figure out what you did WRONG. Wanna pass? Get tutor!

Worst teacher ever! Her test are challenging which makes believe she did not make them. Her lessons are text book guided and unorganized. Find another teacher.
