Professor Mary Beth Pattengale is amazing. She cares about her students. She answers your emails quickly. If you can take her for any Math class it is highly recommended.

Love love LOVED being in Mary Beths class. Shes super sweet and is open to communicating about grades and class struggles. I hate math and still do, this class was hard for me, but if I had to do this class all over again I would take it with her. If you have to take college algebra take it with Pattengale !! 10/10 teacher !!

This professor was such a kind soul. She made it her mission to make sure her students understood the material and passed her class. She offered extra credit, gave extra help, and her joy for math made it a pleasure to take her class

Extra credit assignments at beginning and at end of course. Math is a difficult subject for me but she made it fun and in a context I could understand. Available all the time, tries to inspire you. 5 late passes for HW. Can use a 11 x 8 size paper for final notes (front and back). Got a C without doing extra credit and only getting 60% on final.

Not a very good professor. One of the worst I have ever had. Doesnt care if you pass or fail. Your hard work does not seem to pay off in her classes. I wouldnt recommend.

Took MathA online she's an amazing teacher. She gives you every opportunity to pass. She let's you work at your own pace and wants you to pass her class. She gives everyone extra credit. She is also letting us retake midterms for a better grade. She is the best teacher and I would take her class again. Minor work to pass, just pass your mid/finals

I cant say enough good things about Mary Pattengale. She is super sweet and caring, and also an amazing teacher. I am the WORST at math, but somehow she makes it all click. Her teaching style is very laid back but effective. I've never had a better math teacher. Ever.

Comment:

Mary Beth is the most understanding and nicest teacher. I wasn't ready for my final which was on a Friday and she extended it and allowed me to take it on Monday. Her midterm and final are completely based of her reviews she gives for extra credit, but just different numbers. So if you do those you will pass the midterm and final.

I took online stats. Despite reservations about not being in a classroom, it went exceedingly well. Open notes + lap top for midterm and final, both tests are on campus. No text, but MyStatLab. Mary Beth 100% wants to see you succeed and does everything she can to make it possible. Homework, 2 tests, and extra credit for grades.

Comment:

I took the online stats class and it was more work than expected (mostly because you have to teach yourself) but I love that we use mymathlab its very helpful. The midterm/final are easy because youre allowed open notes and you can bring your laptop (other profs didnt allow that). She was very helpful if you needed to contact outside of class

Comment:

I took the class as a hybrid which worked for me though this did make the lectures very compact. Attendance isnt required shell randomly give extra credit for students in class. Shes easy to talk to are really want you to succeed. The final is cumulativeand worth 40% of your grade so watch out. My math lab is helpful and lets your redo problems

Comment:

Was nice, seemed to care. She is very busy, could not make it to office hours so never got a chance to speak with her as she did not have time other than office hours. Watch out if you have a full schedule. Did not give feed back on mistakes, does post solutions. Fair grader, tough tests. Make sure you have a strong foundation in Math 30.

Comment:

Overall, a very good Professor. Mary Beth is incredibly caring and will work with you if you give her the chance. Grading is very fair, and partial credit is awarded for showing conceptual understanding. If you complete and understand all of the homework (which is both incredibly time consuming, and optional) you will succeed. Use office hours.

Comment:

The best math teacher I've ever had. Challenging course, but if you have to take it, Mary Beth is the way to go. Calculus is hard no matter what professor you have, and it takes a lot of self-initiative and discipline. Many opportunities to succeed. Quiz and test-heavy, with occasional worksheets. Do the HW, study, ask questions. Extra credit!

Comment:

The class is well structured with a schedule of quizzes, tests, and worksheets are assigned almost every class. You need to show that you're ready to take Calculus II if you want to pass this class. Mary Beth is caring and a fair grader, she gives extra credit opportunities and uploads all the solutions. I would definitely take her again!
