Comment:

I took discrete math with her -- lectures are pointless and if you think those "bonus" marks are going to help you don't be delusional they don't count. 100% of your grade is tests. My advice would be don't go to class except tests so she doesn't get to know you, if you have an attitude she will grade you harder. READ THE BOOK and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Nice lady that has a rather thick accent. Takes time to get adjusted to. She is "bonus" happy, aiming to provide classes with an incentive to come to class as long as the whole class is present (so the bonuses don't really apply). Get ready to use the book a lot, though, her in-class lectures aren't enough to cover the complexity of the course.

Comment:

Very hard to understand because of an accent. Picks on people to answer very hard questions during class. She even kicked someone out of lecture once for talking. She is really helpful at her office hours though! Bell curves at the end and adds bonus' during class that she adds to the test marks.

Comment:

She tells you everything that's going to be on the exam and has a very easy midtermexam question pattern to catch she does one type of problem over and over again. Lots of bonus marks to be made, only if you come to class to write the small quizzes. Fun teacher and funny German accent outbursts.

Comment:

Tough to understand due to her bad writing, heavy accent and the fact that she over complicates the material. For example integrals are quite easy when you think about it, but her explanation makes it seem like rocket science.

she just does notes of examples all of class. very unorganized and doesn't title the lessons. her tests are easy but not worth much. the exams are super hard and worth alot, she doesn't write it but gives a really good review. sit in the back cause she calls on people. overall its a hard course with any prof. she was ok

Comment:

She is not as bad as half the people say. Her accent is not that hard to understand if you are paying attention and she tries to explain everything the best she can. She is patient with a lot of students that ask silly questions. Also she tells you exactly what to expect in midtermexam. Lazy students skip class and expect 100% then blame her.

Comment:

Most difficult math class I ever had. She talks in a heavy Polish accent which is almost impossible to understand, her writing is very messy cursive because she does it very fast. Everyone in my class is just silent and rarely answers her questions since no one knows what's going on but her.

Avoid at all costs. Tough to understand her due to a thick accent, and her handwriting is almost illegible. Probably the least favourite course in my York U career.

She is better at helping during office hours than teaching the class, but she is good overall. Key to success is doing ALL the homework questions she assigns!

Comment:

I think she was a good prof. Very helpful during office hours and tests were fair. The final exam was a little challenging, but still possible. She is a very nice lady and approachable. She is a little unclear during class, but as long as you read the section before hand, you should be fine with the ocntent.

her tests are quizzes compared to other sections. she gives bonus marks to students that show interest. Lastly since the midterm and final are not written by her, she gave us hints or useful formulas. I recommend to any 1505 student to come to the last few classes before tests , because she tells us specifically what to expect.

Comment:

Nice lady, with a thick accent, messy handwriting, scattered notes, and just plain horrible. The tests are based on the homework - but not the exam. Seriously, most of the questions of the final exam seemed to be completely out of the blue. Don't recommend, take with anyone else. And don't sit at the front, unless you want to be picked on.

Comment:

She is horrible. Her handwriting is a mess, her accent is strong, and she cannot explain concepts at all. At first her tests seemed easy but then the exam was so unreasonably hard it dropped everyone. There were maybe 3 questions on the exam that we recognized from homework. Do not take the class with her.

Comment:

Be prepared to study. A lot. Math 1014 is already incredibly difficult. Her lectures are really fast-paced, and her accent doesn't make it better. Luckily, her examples and lectures are based on the book, so study off of the book as much as you can. She provides in-class bonuses, so do attend. She's a nice lady, but she's not meant to teach.

Comment:

She's the sweetest lady, and you can get used to her accent, but the course itself is hard, and sometimes it's difficult to follow what she's doing in class. If you have to take the course, make sure you're interested in math and are prepared to put in the effort before lectures so you know what's going on.

Horrible professor. Can't read her writing and cannot understand when she talks. The questions in mid-term is fair but the way she marks your answers is unfair. One small mistake deduce 5 mark :(. Do not take class with her ...

Comment:

classes arent mandatory bc u just copy her notes which u can get from someone else. shes a nice person but shes hard to understand & confuses u on simple things. the lessons dont get titled & shes all over the place. her reviews for tests are amazing tho and her tests are easy but not worth much. the midterm and the exam are hard
