Comment:

Works on examples all class. Someone mentioned the 5 point quizzes as a neg. thing but she gives you a point for your name, and 2 points for at least trying the question so at least 3/5 every time and with every quiz is an extra cred opp. She gives so much EC and the tests are so similar to in-class handouts, you have to really try to fail

Comment:

Her lecture style is very easy to understand, works through examples with you all class. extra credit opportunity every day so make sure you're there the beginning of class. Homework every night on webassign. tests are much easier than the homework, study the study guide and really understand her in class examples and you'll get an A.

Comment:

There are quizzes worth 5 pts right before every class period. Tests are all worth 100 pts. 4 Group projects worth 25 pts each. And hw online comes out to 100 pts towards the end of the semester. The extra credit comes out to 80pts at the end of the semester but if it not correct she won't give it to you. I don't recommend personally she was okay..

Comment:

You have to be aware she explains it at her pace/style (monotone) it gets boring at times so make sure you have coffee. It is highly important to do well on ALL the tests because that was the only thing messing me up! The hw is online , and you have to buy it for $90 (sucks). I don't recommend this professor. I heard Shannon Lienhart is better.

Comment:

Professor Frazee is amazing! She breaks down concepts so that they're easily understandable and goes over a lot of examples to ensure you understand the material. There are a ton of extra credit opportunities near the end as well! As long as you finish the assigned homework on time and show up to class you won't have a problem.

She is actually one of the best math professors I have ever had. She cares about students actually learning. Offers extra credit!!!! Her class was fun when I took her and I would definitely take her again.

She was such a great professor! i truly enjoyed going to her class every morning even though it was at 7:20am. Her test was kinda hard but we were prepared for it by doing the homework and the hw in the book (it was optional). i recommend taking her class!

Best math teacher I have ever had. I'm TERRIBLE at math and had life incidents happen that made coming to class hard, and she still tried to tutor and help me as much as possible. She has a very clear way of teaching that makes is easy to understand. Her tests are hard but you just have to study and she prepares you well for them. Highly recommend!

Ok many years since I took math and a math specific disability. so started at Math 10, She made things easy to understand, gave several ways to do things so you could pick what worked best for you. Responds to emails quickly. Lets you redo homework if you forgot something, homework every week. cares about your grades

Took a while to get used to her teaching style but once I did I really enjoyed her. She teaches the sections clearly and easily. Yes it is a hard class and yes you might struggle but Karen spends her time answering all of your questions and loves to help. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. It's a life-saver. You don't need the textbook. Would take her again.

Comment:

Karen Frazee is one of the best professors I have ever had. If you are planning on taking Business Calculus, take her class. If you pay close attention to her lectures, ask questions, do all the homework and study for the test, you will do well. Just some words of advice, do not skip class or turn in homework late. It is very hard to catch up.

Comment:

She is a good teacher. But the study guides are wildly different from her examples. There are 5 tests and a final that will replace your lowest test grade. Expect to spend hours on homework and hours in the math lab. She is helpful and replys quickly to questions. I have spent more than 150 hours in the math lab and still failed the class with a D-

Great teacher. Covered topics completely. I even learned a few new methods for math which gave me a better understanding. Brain teaser math problems before class starts helps warm up the brain for the lectures.

Comment:

Don't take this class for math 110. The study guide was not helpful at all because the test was totally different on the study guide. by the way you have to do the quiz in class and if you don't do well on the quiz than you are screwed - it means that You made a big mistake and/or probably in big trouble too. my advice is pick a different teacher.

Frazee is great! I took her for 15 and 50. Her lectures are really great. Her reviews are really helpful for preparing for the tests. She gives a 3 point quiz every day of class (1 point for your name, 1 point for trying the problem, and 1 for correctly solving). She's a very generous grader! I would recommend her to anyone.

Comment:

I took this class for Summer. She replies to the emails fast. I think she gave enough extra credit. What I love about this teacher is that she actually cares about how much you actually understand. On the other hand, maybe it's because it was a Summer semester, but she doesn't work on some parts deep enough.

Comment:

Wonderful professor. I took her for Calc 1 during the summer term and she taught everything clearly, patiently, and was very in depth. She would take her time explaining problems to students that didn't understand them and she graded tests/quizzes very quickly. Always there to help her students, and gives out extra credit and alot of partial points
