Comment:

She asked too much from us the students when it came to understanding the topic during the lecture. Gets angry for asking questions. Avoid teacher if you can.

Comment:

She's a tough one, for sure. She doesn't teach the material thoroughly enough, she's kind of rude, and she doesn't give sufficient time for tests. She makes you figure out difficult problems with your classmates or on your own while she sits back and does nothing.

Comment:

Great teacher, took her in the summer. A lot of self study was necessary and is to be expected with these upper level math classes. Exams were a little bit harder than the assigned homework she tests for understanding not memorization. Final was brutal so make sure you are thorough when studying.

Comment:

Summer calc. is intense, regardless of the teacher. There is hw on 2 sec.'s & readig on the next 2 sec.'s each day. Nevertheless, Prof. Saber is a very reasonable and organized teacher. She does divide the class into groups, but also answers hw Q's if you still have any. Tests are mostly covered during her reviews & u get them back the next day!

Comment:

Below Average teacher. She left me more confused about the topic rather than cleared things up. Her tests are difficult and review sessions are a waste of time. If you ask her a question she divides the class into groups and says ask your group. She also never answers homework questions. Thumbs down for me.

Comment:

Do not take her class on Summer or Winter. She teaches the hardest things she can, she will answer your questions if you're brave enough to ask them because she does not like people who are lazy and don't know what they're supposed to know. Honestly you like really hard challenges, go for her class. I've never been so glad to just pass a class.

Great professor. Very thorough and organized. She makes sure that everyone understands before moving on. Very crucial in such a difficult class. She's also super funny and really cares about her students.

Comment:

She's not easy at all, but her exams are fair,she gives a fair amount of partial credit, and she gives you great life advice in addition to math advice.And she definitely doesn't put up with BS.If you want to make the most out of her lectures, do the homework BEFORE she lectures on it so everything is more concrete.Awesome professor, awesome class.

Comment:

Professor Saber knows how to teach Calculus, and if you pay attention in class, YOU WILL LEARN CALCULUS VERY WELL. She lectures similar to how a UCLA professor would lecture. If you are good at math and like it, you will like this class. If you are not....she doesn't leave much room for questions. Tests are hard, but she gives EC. I got an A.

Comment:

Overall, Professor Saber is a great teacher, who utilizes the examples from the textbook and her own to teach. HOWEVER, her exams are very difficult, consisting of many materials that the book does not completely cover, and many others from ALWAYS the last few problems of the homework, which is usually the hardest problems.BUY the BOOK + ANSWERKEY!

Comment:

Acts aggresive towards the class. Assumes incompletion of homework as lack of effort as opposed to difficulty understanding the material. Verbally abuses the class for mistakes and threatens to drop students. Does all this while bragging about her impunity. Makes a tough class even tougher. If you need to take this, stay on top of the homework!

Comment:

This math class has more reading than doing math problems. If you comprehend and read, there should be no problem. However, her explanations most likely won't suffice for you. In that case, just ask for help and read and re-read. Bad thing about GCC is that she is the only Lib. Arts Math teacher. No other choice. Its like a monopoly! :'(

Comment:

teaches well, but her tests are much, much harder than the examples she gives in class. Makes mean, sarcastic jokes in class all the time, and everyone was scared to ask her questions because she was so condescending. You will learn in her class, but your GPA will suffer. I have never been so happy to receive a C. You've been warned

I took this professor in Fall 08 and I don't completely understand the comments here. Her tests were challenging but they prepared me for upper-division math.

Comment:

Please do yourself a favor and don't listen to the comment below. Either that person is crazy or Saber herself. I find it kind of funny because one of the first things she does in the beginning is try so hard to convince students that the negative comments here are not true. If you take her, I really hope you know what you're up against.
