I took MAC1033 this fall. I am already really bad at math and going to her lectures truly did not help me. She is super sweet but I just could not learn with her.

SHOW YOUR WORK! She is a tough grader but will give partial credit as long as you show your work. She uses a specific workbook at the bookstore you will need to buy, get it early they sell out quickly(inexpensive). She can get sidetracked very easily. If you catch an error or she is feeling generous you can earn EC. GO TO OFFICE HOURS FOR PROJECT!

I took Professor Clemons in Fall 2018 and she is a good professor. She's funny and teaches well. She grades us on 4 tests (lowest not counted), weekly quizzes, homework (2-3 per week), and final. The class isn't easy, but it is definitely manageable to get an A if you put in the work. DON'T hesitate to ask questions outside class.

Don't give me wrong Mrs. Clemons is a sweet woman but she gets distracted extremely easy and her lectures don't make sense. If you decided to take this class, prepare to teach yourself and make a study group ASAP!

I had the worst time in this class. I couldn't understand her explaining, and I couldn't understand her way of grading.

Comment:

This math class was one of the easier ones I've taken, teacher is good at lecturing and has handouts she covers in her lectures to help understand the content easier. She drops quiz and test grades that you score the lowest on, helping your grade before finals. NO HOMEWORK, although to pass tests attendance is highly needed. I recommend her.

I have taken this class 2 times and failed both times (both times with Phillip Pinion). With Dr. Clemons I have received my first ever A in math! She teaches math in a way that makes total sense to you, even if you suck at math. Her handouts are very clear and help out a lot when studying for quizzes and tests. She is great teacher,highly reccomend

You must buy her book (less than 10$) and it is a life saver. She's a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend her. She's very knowledgeable and if you don't understand she will be there to help. Also, at beginning of class there will be a quiz on material of previous class. And one take home worksheet. Bonus points are from quizzes before test.

Comment:

Mrs. Clemons does get off task a lot. It is pretty bad. However, I believe the class is extremely simple if you just show up and attempt to listen. It is a lot of math that was done in high school, so nothing too bad. She gives you a ton of examples and hand feeds students answers for quizzes and tests. She just talks a lot about random things.

Comment:

Professor Clemons is clearly a competent mathematician, but she is unfortunately a poor instructor. She would spend the majority of class time talking about her life outside of class, and then spend the last few minutes of class cramming in a lecture. If you do not already have a good grasp coming into this class, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

I found Mrs. Clemons to be the best math teacher Ive come across at Santa Fe. She made an early, normally boring class engaging. I appreciated this very much.

Comment:

Professor Clemons was great at showing you exactly what you needed to know in order to pass the class. Lectures are structured around a booklet you buy for the class. During class, you will use the booklet to follow along and do the problems step by step, so miss class at your expense. Nitpicky on grading but she shows you how to fix your mistakes.

Comment:

The tests are based on the homework and lectures. The questions arent difficult at all. The only thing that you should be careful of is that she grades harshly if you dont show proper work when answering problems. The lectures are fairly easy, as she goes through problems step by step.

Comment:

Her style of lectures were confusing, and not helpful. She would ramble and the whole class would be confused. I had to teach myself lessons after class. She grades INSANELY harshly, and if something isn't exactly the way she would do it, she'll take off points. A nice woman, but I relied on what I knew from high school to barely scrape by.

Comment:

The professor wasted a lot of time during class talking about random things instead of teaching the material, and we would usually end up cramming three of four topics in the last day of class each week to make up for lost time because of it. Quizzes were graded very harshly, so make sure you can draw perfect lines and curves if you want to pass.

Comment:

Class was three times per week and very short, and we routinely spent more time listening to her talk about everything but what we were supposed to be covering in class. We'd usually be far behind the syllabus and would be told to study at home. Did not respond to emails throughout the semester, and a few quizzes were graded incorrectly.

Very easy math class. No calculator is allowed, but she makes the problems on tests and quizzes easy so you don't need one. Homework is optional. I never used the textbook or did homework and passed all quizzes and tests with a 70 or higher.

Ms clemons is a good professor but the only problem is that she is late sometimes and also she does not explain everything that she give in the worksheets. She is kind and funny but I would not recommend to take this class with her.

Comment:

90% of the time we didn't learn at all. instead we sat and listened to her talk a bunch of nonsense on random topics. It got so bad that students had to star reminding her that we were on a tight schedule. Ended up having to drop from the class.
