Comment:

She's fairly good. The lectures were a little disorganized and she drags them out sometimes, but it wasn't enough to get mad at. She gets angry when people don't join the live class or watch the videos but she has a point: if you just look at the slides later you won't do well at all. As long as you take notes and keep up w/ dates, you're golden.

Comment:

I loved her class, her teaching skills are amazing. 3 tests, homework, quizzes, daily poppers, and a final (can opt out). The tests are taken at a CASA testing center. Poppers are 15% of the grade, so attendance is required. She will drop some grades in the end. Just pay attention in class and don't miss the deadlines and you should be fine.

Comment:

She means well and wants the best for her students. Doesn't like when juniors/seniors take her 1310 course for a blow-off math credit, she'll tell you about that. Is a little intense when asked questions during lecture but it's not like she's mad or anything. She's sweet and likes to talk about her family during lecture.

Comment:

She can give an attitude. I don't believe she is purposely upset with you it's just her personality. As long as you study the chapter and watch the chapter videos before she teaches it. It will make sense. Lots of homework,poppers,quizzes but as long as you keep up with them an A is guaranteed on the tests.

Comment:

I don't like her attitude. We just wanted to ask a simple question but she makes us feel stupid for asking. (and she wonders why we don't want to speak up during class) She talks on and on about random stuff in class that doesn't relate to the class. Her lectures are boring, I only listen to the first half of the lecture because of announcements.

Comment:

Took the class online, didnt bother going to lectures. I didnt feel like i got anything out of her lectures, so i read the book and did problems from there. HW and poppers are expected at least 2x a week. but it helps you understand the material. quizzes and tests really arent that hard, just have to try. Made it out with an A with minimal effort

Comment:

She seems to often veer away from lessons in her lecture and will talk about personal stuff but overall a good professor. She explains a lot how much she has to get done for all of her classes so I recommend not asking when you'll be receiving a grade back on an assignment, she's always working on them. tests are easy if you practice

Comment:

She would spend the first half of the online lecture complaining about other students (sometimes not our class), and the other half teaching and complaining. She's a great teacher, but that's her only flaw.

Comment:

She is ok. tbh I did not listen to her lectures cuz they do not really show you how to do hmk or quizzes so I did all my learning at home. dont bother asking her questions in class because she gets annoyed. tests are like the online quizzes. go to CASA tutoring for help and she is more helpful there. 3rd test was the hardest 4th the easiest.

Comment:

I took the online 1313 class with Professor Gross since I needed it as a credit. The class itself is super easy even though I hate math in general. I never attended any of lectures and just did the work that is due by googling the answers. Learned everything by doing the practice test and knowing how to do it since it's literally the test itself.

Comment:

This professor is rude and expects a college student not to ask a professor for help. If you cant self teach I highly suggest you attend tutoring or run away from this professor. Overall, material is not that bad but the course is HEAVY with homework, poppers, and quizzes. Im horrible at math and got a A because I did the work and studied.

Comment:

professor Gross is uh, different. shes super rude which can be really funny, especially when she goes off on students for asking questions. her notes are unorganized and covered fast, she expects you to know all the material, she teaches an online class as well but its the same as the normal class and she brings all her personal problems to class.

Comment:

Professor Gross gets very rude when approached with questions in class or via email. If you email her to point out something is wrong (dates that assignments open or close) she will fix them and then pretend you are stupid. She does not grade your assignments in a timely manner and it took more than a month for me to get my FR test results back.

Comment:

Did not like her. She is rude and simply doesn't really care about her students. I explained to her my situation about getting my textbook and she didn't care. Long story short I have to drop her class and take it at a community college, but the good thing is it will be cheaper.

Comment:

I broke my leg playing in a rugby game for UH during the fall semester of last year and was hospitalized for 4 weeks and it happened to be at the end of the semester. So I was not able to take the last 2 tests and the final. I then emailed her to let her know and see if she can help me out by giving me an incomplete or something and she refused smh

Comment:

I could not focus during her lectures. She's kind of long-winded about how many classes and students she had and could be rude and sarcastic when answering questions she felt we should know. The format of this class was little difficult for me because she posts assignments weekly rather than at the start of classes Textbook is not that great either

Comment:

I took her online, and just sit through the lectures. They're long, but helpful. Don't email unless it's absolutely necessary, cause she will be rude. That said, I'm not smart in math and passed with an A-. Just find a partner to study/compare HW/practice test answer with and you'll be fine. If there is a problem with FR, she will fix it.

Comment:

Teacher told us not to email her anymore at the beginning of the semester. She just said check the website for anything. If you did email her, she was rude and very short. Practice exams on CASA are EXTREMELY long. Final Practice exam was 50 questions. TONS of homework and poppers.

Comment:

Took the online class, and I couldn't stand more than the first few lectures. She didn't make the material any easier to learn; I managed to do just fine by religiously going through the textbook and actually using the practice tests and homework. If you put in the work, and check the poppers on the website, you will pass her class.
