Comment:

OK so I read reviews on here and was honestly scared when I got stuck in her class, but she really isn't as bad as this website makes her sound. I honestly didn't have a single problem with her, and she was pretty relaxed about attendance and late assignments with my class. She's a pleasant person for the most part, and teaches the info well.

I'm not quite sure what everyone is saying here. From what I saw during the class, the people who really hated her were the ones who didn't try and didn't do their work... so obviously they won't do well. Just pay slight attention in class, and do the online homework and the class is a piece of cake no matter how smart you are.

Alright if you get her as a teacher drop the class. She teaches off of power points and goes extremely fast. If you do not get the information she goes "well if you do not understand it I don't know how I could help you".Also on my math lab there will be things that she did not teach in class. On test there will be thing that you never learned.

Satan honestly. If you love windows 10 and being extremely uncomfortable, take this class! if half of the class gets 30's on their first test, there probably is a significant issue there? She doesn't care though! have fun guys!

Comment:

This class and professor are not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. She goes through the slides provided by mymathlab and provides extra info when needed. The class is easy if you do the homework on mymathlab and show up to class most of the time. And the best part is that she usually lets class out early.

Comment:

This class is basically formulas on the board that you write down and then leave class 15 minutes early, and then independent learning with the math lab online. The class is not that bad almost everyone has to take it. So as long as you do the math lab hw and quizzes and then study the worksheets you'll be ok.

Comment:

She likes to play games on facebook during class. I never thought I would ever meet a professor who's extremely lazy . Youtube videos are more helpful than she is. All the homework is online on mymathlab, mymathlab prepares you to do the problem in the homework but not for what she put on the exam. Good luck to anyone that takes her class.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She is the most laziest professor I've ever had. She doesn't care about you or your grade. I remember one time I stayed after class because she let out early and I needed help, I was the only person left. she gave me a dirty look for 10 minutes straight to get me to leave. Avoid her at all costs...

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE!!!! In Math 101.. She doesn't really teach. You must teach yourself from the book. When people told me that, I didn't think it would be that hard so I took it anyway but it was close to impossible. She let's you out of class early a lot though. There's so much homework. For CS 115 she is clueless. It's easy though. BUY THE BOOK 4 exams

Comment:

absolutely terrible. does not help at all. gives homework and will not go over it but still puts the homework on the test. she only makes you stay for half of class and in that time you don't do anything. will not review for test and hates being in class. she teaches the material as quick as she can so she can leave and doesn't care if we know it.

Simply terrible...grading was completely unfair. Not helpful, makes rude comments and expects the material to just be known after one bad explanation. Avoid at all costs

Hated this class. She is nice but i dreaded going to class because all we did was mindlessly copy down her strait-from-the-book powerpoints. Avoid if you dislike being bored to death.

Comment:

horrible at teaching CS115 and also MTH 101. Has no idea about anything. I learned more by having study groups and reading the books myself. Easy 4.0 for CS 115 though. Do not have to go all the time. But forget math. She can not teach for the life of her. Should be released from Wilkes. Sorry. :/

Comment:

look online at the assignment before you go to class bc alot of the times you can do it without going.. you get out early every class.. never have to interact with her if you dont want.. 2 open book tests and everything else is labs.. not a bad class but she can be kind of annoying but if you are semi-good with computers you'll have no problem

Comment:

She teaches but half the time I can't hear her... She also has the lights off and insists on writing on the board so no one can see it which pisses me off eaither use the computer or the blackboard... She also has a grating voice and she makes it so hard to do well on the tests at all...

Comment:

This woman is the devil. I had good grades on my tests like even an 81 on one and she gave me a 0.0 I asked her why she failed me and she said she culdnt decide if she wanted to pass or fail me. She knows nothing about the subject and pulls her test questions out of her ass. good luck

Comment:

She should be fired. This woman cannot teach her way out of a wet paper bag. Everything is straight from the book and when you need help she doesn't answer your questions. 3/4 of our class failed, stay away DO NOT TAKE
