Comment:
She was absolutely awful. Did not want to help students, especially when writing proofs for homework. Repeatedly had everyone rewrite proofs, not seeing that as a whole we needed help. In general, she never taught us how to write proofs, just expected. Was not willing to go out of her way to help. Appears nice, but it seems superficial. NOT HELPFUL

Comment:
She is one of the best professors at hamilton (in the sense of her teaching). Her classes are well organized and you leave with clean notes you can actually use to figure out what is going on. When tests come around though, you will not be surprised to hear she used to be in the military because she grades with a red pen and does not hold back.

Comment:
Boutin is a super nice person, but she is very specific in her desires and makes it difficult to do well. The linear algebra course is a lot of work (it will be for any linear course), but she is a very organized teacher.

Extremely helpful, always available in office hours. I hated and dreaded math, but she convinced me I could do it, and do it well.

Comment:
Boutin is fair; approachable and friendly, but very frank and not afraid to call you out on underperforming. She'll keep you organized and exact whether or not you normally are, but she's very understanding (as a professor of Modern should be). Yet another good-natured professor in the math department.

Comment:
Modern Algebra is hard as hell, and Prof. Boutin helps make it clear and simple. Lecture is boring, but if you pay attention you'll know everything and more you need. Thats what is great about Prof. Boutin - she lays everything out for you, and solves all the mysteries of modern math for you. Also approachable and friendly.

Comment:
Arrogant, unapproachable, and unclear. Homeworks were long and tedious and could only be done after hours in office hours. Material not clear in the book, and not explained clearly by her. One of my least favorite professors to date.
