Comment:

Let me just explain that she is the worst teacher I've ever had. I took her for the online course and she is rude, never answers back emails, and it's like she doesn't care, the chief of the math department warned me not to take this course with this professor unless you're on a genius level. Finished with a B

Took online. There was next to no interaction with the prof. I emailed for help twice, but she never responded. You learn everything on your own.

Online course, was not as hard as i thought it would be. The professor doesn't not help at all. But you can get help from the math center. Keep up with the assignments and tests. You get plenty of time .

Comment:

The online is not really difficult. The program teaches you the material if you put the time into acing the homeworks. Furthermore, if you trace the practice test questions to the assignments and know how to do them, you'll do well on the exams. Folks, it's about putting some time in and doing the homework. She lets you take exams early.

Comment:

Terrible Professor, does not know the material. Took the hybrid class and learned nothing from her, she asked other students how to do problems. Do not take this class if you do not already know calc. The Computer program is extremely time consuming and tests are extremely specific, not a lot of partial credit given. Very Unfair & unclear professor

Online class is the way to go if you don't want to go to class! I took Applied Stat. Lots of work but the computer will teach you. Its just common sense. Online hws take a lot of time, practice tests and quizzes are available for each chapter, and cumulative final (2 questions from each chapter)Overall grade A but haven't taken the final yet

The course was a hybrid course. She just shows us power points from the book and makes us learn from the computer. A waste of time

Comment:

Take the class online. The work is very do-able, pass-able and can even get an A without too much effort. No need to sit through lectures once or twice a week. That said, I had no contact with the professor throughout the course. You're on your own, but you should need little help if any at all. Online is the easiest way to get through calc.

Comment:

I took an online pre-calc class with her and it was horrible. I did well because I taught my self, but she did absolutely nothing. It should have just been an online class with no teacher where you don't actually have to be where the teacher is because she was useless. Never taking her again...

Comment:

I took Calc. with her and I'm good at math so I got an A. However, prior to attending her class I saw the comments said that she doesn't teach. I always thought people were kidding when they said that...but it's TRUE! SHE REALLY DOESN"T TEACH. You're on your own because she just uses the computer program and you have to teach everythingto yourself!

cant teach, but, gives you everything you need to succeed. The online program teaches you. will grant extentions on homewrk if needed. If you can do the 2 practice tests youll be fine on the exams. your on your own with her though so if you can do it and go to tutoring with profesr A. in the math learning center then take her if no take a bttr prof

She is terrible. She does not teach and when asked questions cannot answer them. There is no lecture and no partial credit given on tests. The worst math teacher I've ever had.

I've taken her twice so far and both times I passed her class, math is my worst subject but she does everything through an online program which teaches you how to do everyting, only lazy people fail this class, she may not be the best at teaching the material but the computer does everything for you, you really control your grade in this class

Comment:

If you are good at doing online classes she is a great teacher. We do all the homework and tests online, doesn't care about attendance. She isn't the most clear person and the material is boring, but if you ask her for help she will help you until you understand it. If you need to learn by getting a lesson she is not rec. Will work with you to pass
