Comment:
Linear Programming is somewhat difficult, but Prof. Whittlesey makes the course interesting. It's her first time teaching this course, so the homework is quite tricky and conceptional, but she will surely do much better in the future semesters.

Comment:
It's definitely a tough class and there is a lot of work that needs to be put into it. She's a very kind lady and is always more than happy to answer questions and make you understand the topic as simply as possible. That being said, go in for office/tutoring hours if you are confused with anything as it is much more helpful than just the lectures.

I thought that the class was extremely challenging and I did not find her very helpful at answering my questions, but this may be because I was so lost for most of the class.

Calc II is SUPER hard but she is a great professor. She will explain things as well as she can, but it really is up to you to do your homework and go to tutoring to figure the rest out.

This class felt like a very long marathon to live through. The homework was very stressful and difficult. To get a good grade, you have to put in every single bit of effort you know how to give. There were many TAs available for help. Kim was good at explaining lectures, but it was very fast paced

Kind professor who will go out of her way to help you so long as you ask for it. With that being said, her lectures can sometimes be unorganized and not very clear. Attending office hours is highly recommended.

Very good lecturer and sarcastically funny. Quite helpful if you attended office hours, and doing midterm/final exam reviews are a must. Class was difficult and she was challenging, however I would still recommend this professor.

Excellent professor, very clear examples, and generous curve. She may be a little more difficult on the exams, but it is very reasonable for Calc for peoplewho have taken calculus.

Took her calc 1 class, she is a lecturer and lecturers like one. Her class is harder than the other professors calc classes. She is clear and makes sense, she will take the time to explain at office hours. I bought the book, very expensive, used it for homework once. Only reason to buy is bc it is required for calc 1 through 3.

Book is pricey and only used twice. Buy it on IBX and get WebAssign from the source. Whittlesey is clear, concise, passionate, and sarcastically funny. If you don't care, you won't do well. Don't sleep, chat, or disrespect her. Do the midterm reviews. They tell you almost exactly what will be on the exams. You'd be a fool not to. Best TAs ever.

She is a great professor! The class isn't easy and the homework and tests are hard, but if you put in the effort, you can do well. She is extremely helpful, especially in office hours, and funny. Definitely recommend her for Math 221!

Had way to much homework per week; it was all so unnecessary. Never had any idea what was going to be on the exam, plus the TAs made you feel stupid for not understanding something. Waste of time considering I still havent learned anything.

Horrible class. Web homework will consume your time enormously. Her lecture is disorganized and unclear. Exams and quizzes are ridiculously difficult. I saw 90% of people couldn?t finish the exam when the time was over. I expect A for this class but I don?t want to meet this professor again.
