Comment:

Professor Carbone is a great lecturer and because of this I believe my notebook from this class will become an excellent resource for proof writing in the future. However the grading is cut throat with a single midterm at 20% and an 8 question final at 50% of entire grade there isnt much room for growth in the class from possible missteps.

Took this class with her this semester, excellent choice. Although she could come off a bit cold, and doesn't offer much office hours, she explains very well and the exams are very easy. Definitely the best choice for math 300!

She is a decent lecturer. Homework questions are tough, and does few examples in class. If you ask her a question about your overall grade, midterm average she will respond she doesn't know, which doesn't help students understand where they stand in the class.

Comment:

She's the best professor I had from the math department. She is strict, detailed, and articulate. The material itself can be challenging (especially in the beginning). I loved how she actually knew everyone of our names in class. After each class, she sends you an email containing all her notes which is extremely helpful. Her accent is awesome btw.

Comment:

She's a decent lecturer, but cam be very cold and strict about things. She goes through lots of examples and the homeworks/in-class workshops prepare you pretty well for exams. Just make sure to put your cell phone away and don't get caught with it if you must use it.

Comment:

She doesn't know how to solve a problem sometimes. Sometimes it is just like "um... um..." and her mind is disconnected. Do not take her class because she is too serious, only want you to use the way she wants to solve but her methods are messy and are not fixed. It is just like coming up from her mind suddenly.

I heard Math300 is one of the hardest math class out there! Her homework assignment does not come from the textbook. Lots of notes to take in class, but in emails typed notes before midterm and finals. During midterm we had 7 mins per problem.

Bad - Only wants her proofs done the way she wants them. If you're a creative proof writer, don't take this class. Good lecturer, but takes off for stupid reasons on homework and sometimes doesn't give effective instructions.

Comment:

Don't let my rating turn you away from taking her. She assigns homework with plenty of notice ahead of time, so while they can sometimes be difficult, you have plenty of time to do them. Attendance is a must because she rarely invokes the textbook in her notes and doesn't send her notes out usually. She's a bit intimidating but truly cares.

Eloquent and sophisticated lecturer. But you have to listen carefully and TAKE NOTES, she does not use the book. She seems to know a lot beyond the course material. Exams were hard but I was happy with my grade.

She really cares about the material which is a plus; she goes out of her way to make the course interesting and appealing. If you like math even a little, you need to take her. She is great! Here is the key: go to class, do your homework, go to office hours and you will learn a lot! Oh and DO NOT FORGET TO MIND YOUR MANNERS!

Take her for MATH 300. She is easy and she is British. Just study her notes and examples, the exams are like her quizzes and hw. She is the easiest professor to teach Math 300 if you want a good grade! But do not argue with her, just always nodd your head.

No lisa, I don't believe in the principal of mathematical induction the way you described it. Look, all i'm saying is on my way to class today i saw 2 red horses. And by your logic that means that all horses are red now.

Prof. Carbone is awesome! She is a great instructor, and good-looking as well. As for the course itself, the workload is not hard at all and Prof. Carbone makes the class easy (tho I suspect that her section may be easier than others). Definitely try to take her for Math 300.

you don't wanna argue with her when it comes to a proof. she might get a little defensive. don't ask her to do you a favour, she acts like she's too hot for that. grading is not so fair. however, the workload is not bad and this class was easy.

Once in a lifetime does a Professor like Lisa Carbone come along. She is a trailblazer in a man's world. She has multiplied my enjoyment of math. She has added appeal to the subject. She has subtracted my angst about university life. I am not divided at all.

I think she is Awesome! At the beginning of the semester, she can seem intimidating, but she is very fair, and very helpful! Pay attention in class. I think her explanation is a lot better than the book. I highy recommend her for this course!!!!!
