Comment:

She grades based on quizzes and exams. She doesn't grade homework but it is highly recommended to do the homework since some questions do show up in the quizzes. She gives out amazing lectures and provides everything for you to succeed. I enjoyed her classes and it helped me grasp a strong concept on Calc 2.

Best math teacher I've had so far. She always comes in with a smile on her face and she's passionate about what she does. Easy to email her to ask questions about homework too.

The questions she puts on her tests are way more difficult than the homework. If you think your prepared for a test because you understood the homework, think again.

I didnt miss one assignment or one class. This teacher expects you to have no life or other responsibilities. Has too many expectations of someone who is a college student. Dont take this teacher!

Professor Fuson is THE BEST. She's nice, funny, and a really good teacher. She makes concept connections everywhere, and doesn't mind if you have a "silly" or off-topic question. She makes everything really fun and easy to learn. Hands down, amazing professor. Best math teacher I've had in a long time.

Comment:

joy is a good teacher. but for this class specifically don't take her. she seems to be new to teaching it and the tests are way too hard for most people. only 1 person managed to score an A with 3 Bs and the rest of the class with Cs or just failed. The people in the class were actually above average and most would've got B's and A's in other class

By far one of the best teachers I have ever had! I struggled with math in High School, but she is a fantastic teacher and got me back on track. The class is fast paced but manageable. She goes the extra mile to ensure you every opportunity to succeed, you just need to do your part. Highly recommend!

I absolutely recommend Joy. She is by far the amazing professor I have had, and helped me love math again. It is mandatory to bring your book and attend class, she does check for those. She teaches quickly but she does answer questions as well, so don't be afraid to ask! Also during offices hours feel free to check your homework, she provides them.

Comment:

A great teacher, but very difficult class. Felt rushed the entire semester and sometimes things seemed very chaotic.. especially during the first couple weeks. Constantly felt like this isn't a class that the professor usually teaches. Either way, a fun and challenging experience. Not a lot of HW either. Tests were tricky, but not too hard.

Professor Fuson has always been a fantastic teacher! Her lectures are very clear, and she works through many different types of examples so you can get the whole picture of each math topic. And her tests are at a good level, not too hard, not too easy. Also very enthusiastic, and super nice. If you struggle in math, Fuson is the professor to take!

Comment:

Probably the best math instructor I've had in college or high school. Her teaching is easily absorbable but if you don't study and blow off homework, you will definitely not do well. She really cares about her students and will answer questions.

Comment:

Tough class. Tons of information to learn and review. Make sure you're solid with your Trig and Algebra 2, or you're going to struggle. This class is moving faster than all the other Pre Calc courses... We're into Ch. 9, most classes just finished getting tested on Ch 3-4. Buckle down, work hard, study, and ask questions.

Professor Fuson will prepare you for the next level. She keeps you up to date with assignments and grades. Do not miss class, or you will fall behind. She gives a heads up for quizzes which is great for people anxious in math. You never feel like the rug is pulled out from under you. She actually cares about her students and her work. Thank you.

Professor Fuson was a great professor she was always willing to listen to your concerns about math. I loved being in her Math 10 class just do not ask for tutoring services because it not that type of class. However, she really does care about your her students and stories to overcome math anxiety. She is a very understanding and caring professor.

Joy is one of the best professors you could ask for. She encourages class engagement to ensure that everyone is understanding the material before moving on. The HW and Class Syllabus contain all the information you need throughout the semester. She responds to emails and always makes herself available to help those willing to help themselves.

Comment:

She is fast paced. She keeps things interesting. She is really interested in helping people succeed. A great educator, but the courses are fast paced, so not everyone is going to adapt regardless. If you do the work she asks, and seek help from her and the resources she suggests, you are going to succeed.
