Comment:

Very nice, but her test were very hard! There was no study guide or idea of what it would be like! None of the lecture notes helped with homework or the test! She also would not inform us if she was not going To be there! I had to drop this class because I did not want it to affect my GPA.

Comment:

She's a great person but her tests were terrible. The first test more than half of the class failed and she didn't curve it at all. She does drop one test sometimes, but even then it wasn't worth it if you failed more than one test. Never trust her previous tests because they are always harder than you expect. Save your GPA and don't take her.

Comment:

Took online. She is not great at communication, and does the bare minimum to reply if you have questions. Straight forward, you could work at your own pace. 25 questions of HW and a quiz due Wednesdays and Saturdays plus 4 or 5 activities to do throughout the semester. 4 tests and are worth almost ALL the points for class, so do well on those.

Comment:

The professor is very nice, but the material isn't explained very well and tests are impossible to pass. The professor hates it when people ask questions. Instead of learning something I walked away very confused. I wouldn't recommend this professor.

Comment:

Mrs Stroh was a good teacher but the class was very difficult. If you are super good at math this class will not be hard and if you aren't too good at math you can still pass. The homework is graded for accuracy and the tests are 10-20 questions each worth a bunch of points so missing a few can tank your grade. She is a nice but the class is tough.

Comment:

As a person Stroh is great. You can easily tell she has a passion for Math. However, there's no time to listen to what she is saying bc I'm too busy writing. I don't know why I bother, bc the notes do nothing to help me on the HW, let alone the tests. I got more help from Google than her. Will be dropping this class and taking from a diff teacher.

Comment:

Stroh was not a great professor. We had so many sections and topics covered with a ton of notes. She never provided a review for the test or explained what would be on it. She entered one grade the whole entire semester and when asked for a current grade she never got back to you. The first test average was around a 65.

Comment:

I ended up dropping the class because of her tests. I undertood everything she taught. I would have no problem with the practice tests Sinclair made, but then I'd get to her tests and end up with a F. She's literally ridiculous just help yourself and don't take her.

Comment:

She is nice, but she has her moments of having an attitude. If you ask a question she seems to not want to answer it because it's not on her pre-planned notes. There is a lot of homework, on MyMathLab and written. Her homework and tests are completely different than her notes. She doesn't grade consistently. She's also a tough grader.

Comment:

Professor Stroh was, unfortunately, the worst professor I have ever had. She offered very little to no review for her incredibly difficult tests, did not respond to emails, and made you feel stupid if you didn't understand and asked questions. SO MUCH HOMEWORK. Had to drop the class because I knew my grade couldn't recover after the first test..

Every time you asked her a question, she made you feel like an idiot. Her teaching wasn't the greatest. She made everything hard and not easy to understand. Although, she is friendly, I wouldn't take her again as a professor. She is also the hardest grader ever. She will take points off for the dumbest things.

Comment:

Do NOT take an on-line course with this professor. I took Allied Health Math and it was the worst. She kept blaming stuff on "department policy". Way too much homework, she doesn't prepare you for exams and throws new stuff on the exams. This is the most basic math class -- super easy stuff yet the course is set up so students can't succeed.

I ended up having to drop the class because of her terrible tests. On the homework I would get good grades but I would fail her tests because they were so hard. When she would lecture if you asked a question she would get frustrated. She was the worst professor I have ever had

Unfortunately I will be taking this course again next semester. I ended up dropping the class due to her tough tests. Each test was worth 100 points and only ten questions. While our homework took hours to do each week the points did nothing to my grade though I did great on it. My grade stayed down. Be warned.

Comment:

Main reason I dropped her class was bc of the tests. They were 10 questions, worth 100 points. Halfway through the semester, half had dropped the class. She was so picky in grading. There were multiple times that students had corrected her work. She only did multiple examples on one type of problem but on the hw was a different problem we never saw

Comment:

Had her for Allied Health Math, which is very simple math. My grade on webassign was a 98% but was receiving F's on the tests. This made no sense to me. I showed my work & knew the answers. I emailed her several times with concern as to how she was grading exams & factoring overall grade. Her reply "do better on the tests"! Grading didn't add up.

Ok first off DO NOT take her online class. She offers no help , her tests have a completely different format than the homework that we have to do every week. She is honestly the worst professor that I have every had.

Comment:

First year back teaching 200 series MATH and it shows in quality. Grades very hard and expects a Calculus student to show basic algebra or get points off. Then when you see her key SHE doesn't show the algebra. Holds students to the rules but she don't have to follow them. Good person and after a few quarters will be back as Calc prof but not yet.

Marie is a blessing! She is a very pleasant high-quality professional. I learned a lot of basic math that will serve me throughout everyday applications as well as in my future nursing career. There is a lot of homework, but that's how you learn, right?
