Prof Nordstrom is such an inspiring professor. She cares deeply about her students, and it shows. She is a great professor with warmth and dynamic enthusiasm- that motivates her students. Her instructional aids were clear and organized on canvas, and her way of highlighting the main ideas helped me retain the major informations. Thank you Professor

Comment:

Terrible. Assigns tons of homework and only goes through one or two examples per section. Did not know how to do the homework. Extremely tough grader. Office hours did not help. However, she is very caring and super nice. Goes 2x faster than other classes. Expects you to just read the book and understand how to do every problem.

Comment:

She is an amazing woman, gives a welcoming vibe, great lister and very help and lots of office hours. But the material is very heavy and the way she presents the information is too much. Its basically new material every day and hard tests that if you fail will lower your grade. Long story short, my class started with 30 and ended with 10. so yeah..

Comment:

My experience in this class was very difficult. I felt that she moved on too fast and she expected us to finish the packets on our own. I didn't feel that the support class was put to use, and i felt more stress going into her class. With the fear of falling behind more and more each day.

Professor Nordstrom is an amazing Math teacher. There is a lot of homework if you don't pace yourself. If you understand the homework, you'll do fine on tests. Her lectures are sometimes a little fast but nonetheless, they're great. She is extremely nice!!!! If you have any questions don't be scared to ask, she is always there to help you succeed.

I've taken math 150 and stats with Dr. Nordstrom. They were both fantastic experiences. As long as you are willing to learn, she will go above and beyond to make sure you comprehend the material. She is very passionate and wants all of her students to succeed. I once feared math, and now it is my major. Seriously an AMAZING professor!

I took her class during winter. She is an amazing professor. She gives us bunch of homework. Make sure that you have enough time to do homework. Homework weighted 15% of your grade. All tests are really basic. She put most of formula on a test paper. Anyway, she is a really good professor. I highly recommend you take her class!

Shes an engaging, top-notch professor and she kept the class under control. I am so lucky to have had her as my first math teacher in community college. She taught me how to self-study and be prepared for school. Thanks to her methods, I am now an accomplished student at Cal State.

Professor Nordstrom is so sweet and fun. Math is not my greatest strength nor my favorite subject but she is super sweet and very flexible. Lots of homework both online and from textbook. The class is super long but gives breaks. If you do the homework and study, you will pass but she is willing to help you if you make an effort.

All Math classes have a lot of homework. Prof Nordstrom was very patient, kind and encouraging to help you in anyway she can. As long as you do the homework, you'll be fine. She uses Canvas for some homework and the book She entourages all her students to come in during her office hours for study group tutoring. She is willing to help.

I enjoyed her teaching style and thought she was a fair instructor. I guess there might be a bit much homework but that's ok for me. I feel like she did a great job explaining things and making things make sense. Sometimes calls students out who are making it harder for others (coming to class late and the like) but that doesn't bother me
