Comment:

We started off with 41 students and now there's of 16 left. Shes strict on grading even on stuff not related to the class. She marked me down 2 points for bad Grammer AND THIS IS A MATH CLASS!! lectures heavy but no time to work problems out ourselves. Only good thing is a 65% is considered passing. Stats is already hard enough she makes it worse

I took her class over the summer. The class was tough! She made the class enjoyable and I thought her lectures made the material easy to understand. I would highly recommend but be prepared to do some work!

Comment:

She's a really sweet lady, but sometimes she isn't really clear on what she wants. She has multiple labs, quizzes, and 3 exams, plus the final. Labs are very straightforward. Quizzes are in groups. The exams is where everything matters. I messed up on one exam and it dropped my grade by 6%. However, it's easy to get points back. Her C is a 65%.

Taken fall 2016. It was not easy If you use the tools she gives you it will all work out. I'm averaging a B right now. I am normally an A student. This is Pre-algebra its not an easy class regardless of teacher. This was hard for me dealing with cancer during class but she was always motivating and I never dropped . Wish she was teaching math 70..

She is just way too hard. Her exams are extremely difficult, and you basically get no partial credit.

Comment:

So here is the thing, she is a good teacher, she explains stuff good, will help you in office hours if you need it, she will go over past homework assignments, and gives about a week for each homework assignment which is usually 15 problems. Her exams are honestly not that hard, they are based off of the homework, but she is so strict on grading.

She is a really tough grader, not even half the class is passing. I would not take her class if you don't have time to get with other students and actually learn the material. I feel like I learned nothing from her.

Comment:

By far the worst professor I have ever had the misfortune of having. She is completely unwilling to help students in her class and the students suffer for it. Does not give partial credit and is the most nitpicky grader. Only randomly selects 2 problems from your homework making any mistake an instant failure. Our class average is currently 52%

Will mark you off on problems that are correct if shortcuts and other methods that she personally uses aren't used. Tests and study guides don't match up. Students in class have classed her "difficult."

by far the worst math teacher at mjc. wants it done her way even if you get the answer correct, you lose points for not being exactly in format she teaches. must remember every formula. and does not take time with students.

She's an amazing calculus teacher!! As someone who hates math i was terrified of her class! But she teaches so well that even I could understand! Choosing her to be my math teacher was the best choice I ever made. She's so helpful and she teaches so clearly.

she is a really nice lady. She is your average professor. Her lecture are kind of boring because she doesn't really make it fun. Homework is online using my math lab. Seems to get impatient with student who don't understand the material the first 20 times lol

This was a very difficult class and she won't hesitate to dock you for points if you don't do a perfect job. She seem sweet and passionate but if you value your GPA and feel like you may not do a stellar job, you may want to consider another professor.
