Comment:

Worst professor I had. Professor made me feel dumb so many times, would not recommend taking her class. I didnt find that trig was very hard, her teaching style was hard to follow though. She sees nothing wrong with the way she teaches and if nobody understands shell say come on guys this is easy. Very degrading. Doesnt respect her students

Comment:

My advisor actually gave me the option to take ALEKS over the summer, but my job took up a lot of my time so I didnt but I STRONGLY recommend doing that. If not, put in the work at the pace Sister Sharp gives you, and get out ASAP. You can even take the final early! Sharp is just there to host the class though. I wouldnt ask for help.

She cares a lot ab her students! If youre in the emporium she only talks for a little then youre off to do your own thing. Shes very nice as long as youre nice to her and do your work. And shes always there to help! Shes very smiley and sweet. Dont get on her bad side!

Comment:

At the beginning of the course, she will have you write on a piece of paper your experience with math. My experience with this class made me dislike the subject all the more because her teaching style didn't allow me to learn well. I recommend a different teacher.

Comment:

Do not take class with her. She is of no help, her lectures make no sense, and she basically sets you up for failure. I was sitting in class trying to do homework for what she was "teaching." The TA was trying to help me understand what she had been lecturing about and she rudely interrupted us. If you can avoid her, it would be to your advantage.

Comment:

She doesn't connect well with the students. Makes mistakes while teaching, which happens to everyone, but she becomes flustered and goes off track. It is completely possible to teach yourself the material. Just read the chapters she "teaches". HW done through Webassign... an easy 100%. Sadly, attendance mandatory.

Comment:

Seems like a nice lady, but gets very mean when you ask questions. She only teaches for the first five minutes of class and does not explain things AT ALL. It might as well be an online class because you'll teach yourself everything. I've probably lost a few brain cells from her lack of good teaching.

Comment:

She was overall an OK prof, as long as you paid attention and did the homework you will pass. She doesn't really explain how to solve problems though, but the problems she puts on her test are extremely BASIC compared to whats on the homework. Just make sure it looks "pretty" before you turn it in.

Comment:

Just don't take her as a professor. She a nun, shes wont hit you with a ruler but she just hits your grades with it. She takes points off for everything any type of small miss mistake. She doesnt teach and leaves out lessons that she puts on her test. She is very rude too, she talks down to everyone because she is perfect and never makes mistake.

Comment:

Extremely nit picky grader!! On all my quizzes, the math was correct, however if the square root sign does not COMPLETLY run over a number, she will take off full credit. This is just one example of many details Sister Sharp takes points off for. She is mean and makes you feel stupid when you ask a simple question. Worst class ever.

Such an awful class. Not even Sister Theresa's fault necessarily, but she doesn't help. The ALEKS system is awful- you will be miserable and end up teaching yourself. Bring headphones so you don't fall asleep because it'll drag on. Go on ALEKS outside of class for about an hour and use mathway. com -you'll get the answers. Welcome to Hell on Earth.

Very rude. Makes her students feel very degraded and if you are needing help she is not the person to go to. Aleks is frustrating online and she does not make it easier. Does not teach well, comes off very strict. Attendance beginning and end of class. DO NOT recommend her to most students.

You are basically teaching yourself the whole time. you might even need to do outside tutoring because she does not actually know how to teach. how about just dont take her. This class is too many credits to be getting Cs and Ds on it really brings down your gpa.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! SO DEAD SERIOUS! I needed only one math course for my fashion major and I dropped it took the W. It is not worth it for your GPA to suffer. In her class she is mean and she gives you a quiz two days after she just taught it. She has sympathy or tolerance for your excuses. You practically have to teach yourself the lesson.

Comment:

She is extremely rude. If you have a question about anything, forget about asking her. She likes to publicly humiliate and degrade her students on a daily basis. She's basically there to take attendance and to make you feel insignificant. It is a hostile learning environment and I urge everyone to NOT take her.

However difficult she might have been, she made me at least want to be a better student. She made corny jokes in class and really loves what she does. The class was rough, you need to keep up with your MLP and study every night for pop quizzes. I know a lot of my friends in the class didn't care for her but she really just wants the best for you!!!

She is such a nice woman, ALEKS is frustrating but she works with you. If you need to make up class hours she has no problem. Very understanding, just be honest.

Its not my intent to speak ill of her, but I must warn that she can be extremely MEAN to students. She's known for degrading students loudly in front of others, and over all seems to find joy in humiliating people.

Have her now, and she's a wonderful lady to be honest. First day I walked in, she was having a dispute with a student about a grade. I was skeptical at first. However, she's actually very nice, just incredibly strict. Don't try your grade suffers. She just wants to see the students pass. No effort not her fault. Do your work and she is great.

Comment:

Don't be as freaked out by these reviews as I was. Sister Sharp is literally just there to take attendance, and although you teach everything yourself, the Graduate students are helpful. I've never seen her be as rude as I've heard on here to anyone, and as long as you show up and do stuff in class, she will like you.
