Comment:

Do not take professor Kelly for any math class. Consider this your warning. She is the worlds toughest grader. If you don't do the work the way she wants it, even if you have the correct answer, you automatically get 2 points taken off. Points are taken off for the littles things. She makes Math 151 way more difficult than it needs to be.

Comment:

She over explains simple concepts and tests you on the hardest parts of every problem you practiced . Doesn't allow students to use simple concepts that would make the class easier, instead she makes students do things long hand and in-turn makes the class harder no matter the concept. Terrible teacher, do not take if possible.

Comment:

this teacher gave me so much stress that at some points I thought I would have to go to the emergency room. her exams are incredibly difficult with averages being in the 60s. she gave weekly quizzes which were incredibly hard and the worst part was that I would invest 15 hours a week into this class. she has no respect for students at all.

she's a nice person, but horrible professor. her exams are nothing like what she teaches and forces students to participate in class even when we don't understand. weekly quizzes on Tuesdays which were impossible and says at the beginning of the semester that we should expect to study at least 8-10 hours per week to get a C. Take another teacher!!!

we legit get 40-50 problems per night for hw which is more than any other professor. she gives weekly quizzes worth 20 points which were insanely hard with averages being around 12/20 on most quizzes. her exams consisted of questions which were never in the book and she tries to trick students. she takes off points on the most little things ever.

Comment:

during the first day of class she gave everyone a syllabus stating that the average grade for this class is a C and that you should expect to study at least 8 hours a week. Her exams are way harder than the book problems and is the pickiest professor ever. her weekly quizzes are the definition of hard and would recommend another professor or her.

Gives amazing lectures and tries to make calculus understandable by giving multiple and easy to remember examples. She is hilarious and keeps the lectures interesting. What I disliked most about the class is that before every test you have to put problems on the board and it is 5 points towards your test grade. These are all off of the homework.

Comment:

Maybe it's just me and I'm bad at precalc but especially towards the end of the semester, she began to be more confusing/explain the difficult concepts less, which kind of hurt my ability to learn. Has a slightly nasally voice that I know bugged some people in my row but I really liked her! Way better than my HS precal teacher. Weekly quizzes btw

Quite a bit of homework everyday. Notes are really just a bunch of examples which is easier to understand. She really emphasizes that the key to math is not to memorize, but to understand the content, which is nice. You get extra board points on tests by putting homework on the board during the week. Shes such a fun and positive teacher!

At first she seems like a really nice professor but once you get into the semester you get screwed. She gives homework on things you haven't learned yet. And if you don't do a problem her way you can bet she is taking points off. If you are taking her class all I say is good luck.

Sue is a really nice lady, but calc can be a hard class. She is generally pretty clear in what you need to know, and wants you to succeed. Sometimes her lectures are confusing, but the tests are fair. Weekly quizzes, and a lot of homework every night. No attendance taken, but it's math. If you don't go, you probably won't do very well.

Kelly is an Awesome Professor and I would Highly recommend her. She had patience for the students, and goes out of her way to assist students, and offers more than just help in the classroom. There is a lot of group work, I'm not a group work person, but the way it was constructed was amazing! I learned so much and would retake it again for fun!

DO NOT TAKE, LITERALLY WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T TAKE HER. I'M SERIOUS. SHE ASSIGNS MORE HOMEWORK THAN ANY OTHER PROFESSOR AT UWL AND TAKES OFF POINTS ON YOUR NEXT TEST IF YOU MESS UP ON ANY HOMEWORK PROBLEMS. TESTS ARE UNREALISTICALLY HARD. DON'T TAKE. WAIT A SEMESTER IF YOU HAVE TO.
