If math is not your strong point I suggest you avoid this professor! She goes threw the lectures super fast you basically have to teach yourself. She is a nice lady but the class has no idea whats going on.

Ever wanted a good professor who takes the time to explain things and makes sure that the class understands whats going on as the professor is going along with the lecture? Yeah same here, and this professor definitely wasn't that. She will go on and on and not take the time to break down wtf is going on or why. Hard pass. listen to me. DONT DO IT

Comment:

If your someone like me that isnt the greatest at math and is only taking it for your major be mentally prepared. Dont waist time on trying to write all notes, she posts them on canvas. I received better help from the math center, so definitely got there if youre struggling. Theres homework & some concept checks to help cushion your grade.

Professor Mifflin is a warm hearted women. She lectures over everything you need to know for tests and assigns homework online (though the hw on there can be tedious). Showing up to class is essential for any math class otherwise you fall behind. If you don't understand a concept be sure to ask for help... Great choice for Math 110 :)

She is a good person but she doesnt explain things well and the online homework seems to do nothing for your grade. When showing you examples she does them at her pace and while copying it down you cant catch up and next thing you know shes done with the problem. I wouldnt recommend taking her if you have trouble with math and need more help.

Comment:

Mifflin is a respectable teacher. She lectures everything that will be on the homework. She uses Webassign and it's about $90 and there's no way of dodging that. She lets you use your laptops and cellphones so she's very lenient. Her tests are after every section of webassign and it's easy as long as you do the study guide. Honestly, take her class

Comment:

mrs mifflin was a vey nice lady, shes quiet if the class is quiet but she extremely friendly and she kind of rambles on but great professor over all and she is usually in the tlc shortly before class starts in Escondido. i just slacked off a bit but make sure you do the hmwk and shell drop the lowest grade!

Comment:

Calculus is hard in general. Professor Mifflin would listen to her students when we asked her to slow down the lessons even if it pushed the entire schedule back. She is always willing to help outside of class in person or through email. Some of the tests were extremely difficult and not like the study guide. The amount of online HW is massive!

Comment:

It was hard for me to read her notes because my English wasn't too good, but I think I got 97% or 98% on the class, and more than 100% on some tests due to extra credit. The class was easy; homework was online and tests were very similar to the study guides. Also, if you don't understand something from the homework, she explains you patiently

Comment:

I've taken Mifflin twice so I'm use to her style which is fast paced. I'd say she is the best math professor at Palomar if you want to take Calc. Calculus is not easy so the HW and tests can be difficult. You need to show up to class! Also if you can take it with a friend, so you can study outside of class. Also go to her office hours, they help :)

Really nice lady. Will work to explain things if you go see her; however she's extremely disorganized in her lecture and a tad boring, making it hard to follow her in addition to paying attention. Study Guides are generally true to her tests. Online Homework. Very Friendly and likable though.

Comment:

Professor Mifflin could be a really good professor. However, she does not take the time to try to gauge a student's learning style. She will meet with you, but she runs through explanations and class lectures at a rapid pace. There were eight tests in 16 weeks. The tests were complex and she did not offer assistance with review.

Comment:

Do not take this class in math 60 when I ask her a question for which part of the math questions will be on the final exam and she said that she will not put that math question on the final exam. When I study the study guide and the exam was totally different and the study guide was not helpful at all. Do not take this class in Math 60.

Comment:

You can get a better math teacher. Study guide does not help you with the tests. Talks way to fast during the lecture. She starts the next chapter before you take the test of the previous (gives a test every chapter). She skips steps in examples. Grades on tests and quizzes only. Hard subject matter already, she makes it harder than it already is.

Comment:

She is a nice lady but isn't that great of a professor. Her lectures are okay but could improve drastically. You'll learn the basics but nothing more. Her biggest flaw is her study guides. I cannot stress how useless they are; about 13 of the questions on the exams aren't on the guide. NO EXAGGERATION! If there are other options, I would avoid her
