Comment:

Lisa tends to over-complicate things that you probably already know how to do with really wordy explanations. She's also always late to her classes and office hours. She will talk to your class and implicitly call you all dumb. You won't now your grade until the end of the semester. I only got an A is because I took this class in high school.

I loved this class, easily the best math teacher i've ever had, she has some of the best notes and exams are just like the notes, She is super funny and gives you one on one time with her, she sets time on her own time to help students, we didint use the textbooks much other than for homework so i suggest you rent it and the homework is not hard

Her lectures are super fast and piles too much information in 2 hours. She seemed unorganized this semester but she explains better when its one on one. She also has homework hours

Comment:

I felt as if Lisa is not the type of teacher for me as she is very lecture heavy. i also felt that she was extremely unorganized this semester and i was lost the whole time. It was hard tor me to engage with her to the point where i gave up trying to learn the material. Her teaching style though, may apply to you if you like lectures for 2 hours.

Comment:

Lisa isnt really the right kinda teacher for me personally, but I dont think that shes a bad teacher. She overexplains the simple stuff (PEMDAS, factoring, etc.) and then barely talks about the harder stuff (square roots, matrices, etc.) She is VERY lenient with retests and homework which is good. (I got a 85%, retested and got 99%)

Comment:

I don't know what it is, but this teacher explains things in a way that you'll almost question at first, but you'll figure out complicated topics in math in ways that you weren't taught prior. It's really weird, but she has a way of making you "get it".

Lisa is an amazing prof. Her lectures make the material very easy to understand and if you are ever confused she is willing to meet you before/after class, and even on the weekends, just to make sure you do your best. She can be a little disorganized but overall extremely caring and attentive towards her students. Taking her for the 3rd time now.

Comment:

She's very lenient on grading quizzes and test, and is dying to give points even if you write nonsense. When she lectures , it likes sitting on an airplane and wait for it to be over, it is not insanely difficult but she surely makes her student work hard for their grade. She offered homework club or text for help if you're struggle. She is a solid

I had her for my 8 am class and she tends to be late. I understand she was going through stuff in her life. She really cares about her students and is willing to sit with you AND ON THE WEEKENDS so you can pass the class/test. It's amazing how much effort she puts into the class. She also has a sense of humor. Homework is a must!

Do yourself a favor and take her. Calculus was so daunting but Im so grateful for a professor who truly wants her students to know the material and pass. She is very accessible outside of class which was so helpful and I appreciate it. She will do anything you need to make you succeed. A real gem of a teacher.

I thought I was going to have a really difficult time in college algebra, but this professor knows how to explain the concepts pretty well and offers plenty of extra help. Pay attention in class, do the homework, do the practice tests and youll do fine.

Comment:

I never thought that algebraic concepts could be explained as simply as she has explained them. She goes above and beyond with her time before each test for those who need the extra help. She doesn't require as much homework as other algebra teachers, but you will need the textbook to do complete the homework.

I was nervous about taking Math V03 but I am SO glad I took it with Lisa. She is truly amazing and definitely knows her stuff. I will continue my math journey with her. She will go above and beyond for you to understand the material & will stay with you and help you she wants you to succeed! She is a tad bit unorganized but its nothing too major.

Comment:

I did not enjoy taking this class at all. First off she didn't explain any of the concepts of the class to us. Second, the class always ended way to early. I complained two other faculty members about the problem, but nothing was done at all. But hey that's tenure for you.
