Comment:

I felt like she taught this class thinking everyone had some prior knowledge on it. I struggled a lot because of that. We had 4 exams including the final. Her exams are 10 questions or less and you have to show work for all of them (no multiple choice). Her exams didnt prepare me at all for the department final. The homework was was online.

Comment:

She is an amazing professor. I learned a lot in her class. She knows how to explain math properly If you don't understand she tries to explain it in many different ways. Her class in manly graded on the 3 exams, homework and the final. The final exam grade is 1/3 of the class so to pass her class you have to do good on the final.

Take this class for an easy A, if you have the choice between taking her class and taking a class with Tim Ridenour, or anyone else, take her class. That is not because Tim is good, it is because she is amazing, because Tim is not good.

Great professor, caring and passionate. She breaks down math and makes it easy to understand. No surprises on test, do your homework online and you will be good. She gives clear notes. Highly recommended

You will learn nothing but it is an easy A. Practically no coursework other than a midterm and final project, which in total take like 5 hours.

Comment:

This professor is caring and is very knowledgeable. However, she doesn't know how to teach and seems very laid back for a Math Professor. One midterm and final SAS project due during finals week. Two extra-credit homework assignments as well. She never gave back the exam nor the assignments so the whole class was very worried about the grades.

Comment:

took her during her first-semester teaching Vector and Multivariable Calculus. She was extremely unprepared and at times struggled to be thorough in her explanation of some of the concepts in the class. All the kids in the class were great at math though so we'd catch on but still was mediocre and unprepared as a professor. 2 exams only.

Tests are only 10 questions but she reviews and you will know exactly what to study. You must pass the departmental final so she prepares you just for that which is great. You definitely need to study on your own time to pass the final. She wants you to pass, take her!

Awesome professor! Explains everything clearly and thoroughly, answers questions clearly. A lot of homework is assigned all in advance and is due the day before each exam, start it in advance so it doesn't pile up. Overall I loved her class and am very glad I had her as a professor.

Comment:

Calculus is going to be tough no matter what. But this professor does an awesome job at explaining how to solve the problems. You will definitely need to study outside the classroom to make sure you get good grades on the exams. Like I said, Calculus isn't going to be a breeze. But you really can't go wrong with having her as your calc professor!

Laughs at you if you dare ask a question about steps taken to get answer. No calculator for exams. Each exam has 10 questions. Focus on her reviews before each exam. Hw helps but she doesnt give extra credit and doesnt incorporate hw in final grade.

This is my best teacher so far. She teaches really well and is very clear that she wants everyone to understand. Gives a lot of homework on Web assign, but is very useful. I highly recommend her.

Comment:

If you are taking any math class, take hers. A very very nice person. High level math classes at Baruch are not easy, she explains slowly to make you easier to understand. Not much HW, relax class but you learn stuff. No matter what class you take with her, mainly focus on the review sheets before exams, they are very similar.

Comment:

Midterm was 35%, final 65%. Both were incredibly easy as we barely learned anything in class. Reading the textbook is enough. I got 100s without studying . Homework was extra credit, but she never said how much extra credit. She reviewed before both tests and tested exactly what she reviewed. Didn't learn much but very easy.

Approachable and clear. Focus on the SAMPLE FINALS more than the HW if you have limited time, talk to her and she understands! Work hard on the practice finals and ASK her what you do not understand, SHE IS SUPER NICE! I also took Math 2203 with her. Professor Zamfirescu gets HAPPY is with your SUCCESS. Take her!

She's direct and gives clear examples to answer your questions. She's pretty organized and has a clear agenda for each class. Plenty of review in class, and will gladly help on WebAssign and will extend date if needed. Great teacher, but if you miss a class you may be slightly confused the next day. Would definitely take again!

Comment:

Honestly, this was the hardest math class I've taken so far. The material is not easy, but the professor really tries her best to explain and be fair with grading. Midterm 35% final 65%. Midterm was straightforward but final was so hard conceptually. I'm pretty sure I did really poorly on the final, but she still ended up giving me a fair grade.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR... She will ruin your GPA. I am A student in Math classes but this was the class that i was struggling in. Final won't be what you expected. Do easy problem in class but Exam totally different. HW not mandatory but definitely helpful and Extra credit for HW 2 Exam Midterm with 35% and Final with 65%
