Comment:

I love how kind and helpful this woman is, and the fact she would sometimes end class early for those who couldn't make it to office hours was wonderful. But she moves quickly through material and expects you to be well established in concepts from Math 100. There was a lot of homework and quizzes but if you're diligent you'll pass.

Comment:

If you're not good at math I wouldn't recommended taking this teacher. Shes super sweet and she has office hours that you can attend if you need extra help, but her lectures are hard to keep up with, most of the material she expects you to already know from math 100 and has weekly quizzes and a good amount of homework due.

Comment:

Second time taking trig and I wish I passed it the first time. Her timing on when she introduces new concept makes them very confusing. Shes jumps around too much and rarely focuses on one topic for more than one class thinking the class imidiately understand its. It has made it difficult even already having some trig experience. Avoid this prof!

Great class lectures. She is very kind, helpful and supportive and seems to really care about her students and helping them develop a love of math. You will need to show up for every class and be ready to put in the work, but if you're prepared to do that she will help you every step of the way.

SO much homework. But she has a calm and clear presence that is useful and really encourages to meet with her one on one if you need it.

Super amazing teacher, She is challenging, alot of HW and tests/quizes can be difficult, If you show up to class and do HW you will have no problem with her. Teaches multiple ways to do a problem so every student has a chance to adapt

Comment:

Can't believe this professor is getting horrible reps! I admit her class has lots of homework, but she was always available to help. I used her office hours more than any of my classmates and received an A. I know the work seems daunting but this class prepared me for MATH 120. Professor is always courteous and willing to help.

Comment:

Do NOT take this class!! She is a terrible teacher. She will teach you two ways to do a problems and if you don't do it the one way she wants it will be wrong. All off the work in her class is worth barley any points. She also always makes errors in class. If you have her get a tutor fast!!!

Comment:

Only 3 people in my class got an A, 6 got B’s… not such a great teacher if most students are only average or below average. She should try to teach the material rather that expect people to memorize which direction a parabola goes. Watch out for tricks on the tests! I did not have enough time to take the final which was very hard.

Comment:

No handouts, rules and formatting must be remembered thru class notes. Quizzes and exams are given cold turkey with no warm up before starting to refresh the memory. Tough with grades, 3 A’s at < 92%, 6 B’s, 13 C’s, 9 D’s and 4 F’s, class average 73%. She could improve with the understanding that not everyone solves problems as she would.

Comment:

She is extremely sweet and always does her best to be available for help. If you aren't a natural at math then this class may be challenging because it's fast paced and there's a lot of homework. But if you like routine you'll appreciate her teaching style. Overall, it's tough but definitely manageable if you show up, and she is super nice.

Comment:

Such a tough grader and assigns a TON of homework! Seriously, lotsssss of homework and a quiz almost every single class. Explains things OK but if you miss one class you'll be really behind. She explains things well and gives lots of examples, but doing it over again I would take a different teacher. SO MUCH HOMEWORK and QUIZZES ALL THE TIME!!!

Comment:

This is a good teacher; however, if you struggle with math like I did, I suggest not taking her. She expect you to know how to get from A-Z without showing all steps. I learn by looking at the entire problem written out. She also gives a lot of home which is barely worth any points. She is a great individual though.

Michelle Chiang-Yamada is a great Professor. She is serious about her work but she is fair about her grading. If you do the homework and listen in class you will not find any suprises on the test. It doesn't hurt that she is easy on the eyes either. I'm a fan.
