Comment:

If you are looking for an easy A do not take her. She assigns A LOT of homework and her tests are difficult if you do not understand the 'why' behind all the calculus techniques. I recommend taking this class if you are going to be majoring in physics or mathematics.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Professor Evans! By far the best math teacher at Saddleback. Before taking her, I was okay with math. After taking calculus with her, I feel I have a deeper understanding of math. Goes super in depth with her lectures and tells you HOW and WHY math works. Also, she dedicates her full office hours to help students. Wonderful lady.

Comment:

She is a tough teacher, but only because she really cares. If you are willing to put in effort and show up to class, it is noted. She is the only teacher I have ever had that will thoroughly explain concepts as in depth as she does. If you want to mess around the whole time and text, this isn't the class for you. Put in work and you'll earn an A.

Comment:

Goes from exact start of class to the last minute of class with straight lecture. Most of the time its confusing but she will explain deeper if needed which can sometimes help. Homework is a must and is graded very thoroughly. Attendance is a must. Nice lady, but wouldn't take her class again... too confusing.

Appreciated her feedback. She spends a lot of time grading and giving feedback. Go to her office hours. She knows her math a on a deep level, and understand whats going on. She can be strict in the classroom with phones etc... But overall I learned a LOT! Take her if you are taking more math.

Very in depth, and professional teacher. She understands the material, and knows how to teach it. She also makes valid recommendations in regards to whether you need to go back and relearn some basics. She's a real teacher and this is a hard subject (calculus). If you follow her instructions you will become good at math.

Very very hard class, but that's just calculus. She wants everyone to do well bit will not sugar coat it if you should drop. She focuses on the "why" not just how to do problems. Very demanding class but she is a really nice lady

Comment:

Honestly, professor Evans's teaching methods were extremely hard to follow. Going to her class was like going to prison for 2 and a half hours, 2 days out of the week. She makes it extremely hard for students to succeed and makes learning math more of a challenge than it really needs to be. Take this teacher if you want to fail miserably :)

Professor Evans is a Great professor. You must do the homework. Very in depth, her focus it to make you understand calculus not just 'plug into the equation'. She truly cares about her students and getting them to pass. She has a lot of office hours and will make individual appointments when needed.

The fact that this teacher almost has a 4.0 rating is beyond me. 50 something kids to start the class, 15 to end with. Most discouraging teacher I've had in my entire life.

Dunno about other people rating her, but she is an amazing professor. I had her twice. She is very helpful and not at all hard to understand. She is also very forgiving and kind. Lowest exam score is replaced for the final if final grade is higher. DEFINITELY work out problems after lecture. You'll fall behind easily. Amazing professor in my books!

Comment:

Prof Evans has afforded more respect to her students than any teacher I've ever had, and understands that "life happens". She'll only teach courses where she can go into the deeper "why" behind things; while deeply rewarding, realize this may be very challenging if you're used to "plug and chug" styles of thinking. I strongly recommend taking her.

Comment:

She is willing to help you when you need it, but you're screwed if you don't have the time. She messed up on examples a lot and often becomes hard to understand during lectures. If you want to do well I suggest going through problems in the book and going over homeworks. If you don't understand a problem just ask her and try to follow along.

Comment:

She will go out of her way & help you. Do NOT ask her what will be on the test because she gets upset. The tests are basically the same as the homework. She doesn't want anybody to fail, so she will let you know if its a good idea to drop. I reccommend her if you are willing to study. Attendace is mandatory.
