Comment:

Math 107 is honestly not worth it in my opinion. I left knowing nothing I didn't already know, just explained in a different way. Hoagland grades very strictly, even on the littlest things. Going to class felt like a chore, not a learning experience. Would not recommend if you're looking for a nice, laid-back professor.

Comment:

Math 107 feels like a useless course. Hoagland herself is very abrasive and will often contradict herself regarding her own classroom procedures. Material isn't difficult at all but she will take points off for ridiculous reasons. She was not understanding of students who had other responsibilities like work or kids. Working with her is frustrating

Comment:

I would NOT take this class again. I personally like more one on one talks with my teacher but i didnt get that and when i did (the few times) i was uncomfortable. The pace was set to over drive and so much was jam packed in it made it so difficult to take your time with things. If you take her, you better spend everyday in the math center.

Comment:

She was a good teacher, although I remember her specifically saying during class that she marks us down only because she wants us to "fully understand the problem" although getting marked down for forgetting to put a comma in 2,000 is ridiculous in my opinion. You have to put in a good amount of work for a good grade, but that's how school works.

Comment:

She was horrible. I had a lot of things going on at home but I would check in with her to tell her when I was going to be absent. (She gives out quizzes on thursdays for over the weekend) I would message her asking for the quiz PDF, and she would set me up to fail by waiting till the very last minute to give it to me. Shes very picky when grading.

Comment:

She's really sweet, but I had to drop the class because it was too difficult. Math90. Really easy stuff, just needed a refresher. She wouldn't allow us to ever use a calculator. Prime numbers, everything like that, all by hand math. Lots of homework, she goes really quickly, and she doesn't explain that well

Comment:

I took this class knowing I would be bored out of my mind, and I was right. The math is very easy, but the work is incredibly tedious. If you do not write out every grueling step as you go, you're not going to pass. She is a picky grader and will dock points if you do not do everything exactly as she wants it written.

Comment:

Mrs. Kayana's is an easy teacher. I regret taking this class because I originally thought it would be focused on the math used in society (EX: doing taxes, and basic math with money). This was not the case. The class should be called "Random Useless Math 107." Don't take this class if you plan to transfer to a university, because it won't transfer!

Comment:

Kayana is a great professor. There is no textbook used. Homework is usually 1-2 pages and checking in with the Hawkes Program. She will work one on one with you if you need help and encourages you to visit her in her office. She is a bit nit picky with grading but she will explain exactly what shes looking for when grading.

Comment:

Overall this was a really easy class, but I think that she taught it so slowly. For me, it was really hard to focus. But, she did not require you to have a textbook. Instead she wanted you to have printed worksheets. These were actually really helpful, and she did not assign too much homework. She grades easy, but marks up your paper way too much!

She overall is a very nice teacher but the way she conducts her class is ridiculous. She grades attendance and there are lots of pop quizzes. She also assigns a lot of homework at once. Would not recommend to any.

Comment:

Although she is a nice lady, she is the most frustrating teacher I've had. She goes through the information so fast you cannot get through it without other students help. She asks questions all the time and no one can answer them. Please find another teacher for Math. You will be grateful

Comment:

I took intro to statistics with Mrs. K and although she's a nice person, she's not a good teacher. There is lots of homework, collected every Monday before taking a weekly quiz. Notes are allowed on midterms and final. This class was fine for filling a math credit but I wouldn't recommend if you are planning on continuing with higher level math.

Comment:

Nice teacher, just a very picky grader! The final and the midterm are each worth 25% of your grade, so you need to understand exactly what she wants. Take notes on everything, because you can use them on the final. Take that class with a friend, because if you are confused she is not very helpful. Overall a good class to take to get you math cred!

Comment:

Professor Hoagland had to have been one of my least favorite professors. Throughout the quarter she spoke highly of extra credit opportunities and ended up not giving any extra credit. Her grading was inconsistent between students and also graded down on simple mistakes. I would strongly recommend choosing a different professor for this course.

Comment:

She doesn't teach you what you need to know to get the grade you deserve. She assigns homework called short sets with a ton of questions you not only have to figure out on your own, but also have to write an essay on. After you get the answers wrong, she teaches you how to do your assignment after she has failed you on what she failed to teach.

Comment:

This is one of the worse Professors that I have ever had in my college experience. I have heard her belittle my class as if it was okay do to do and I quote "The reason why you are all here is because you fail to understand and get the concepts to move forward.". I would not recommend her to anyone that I would avoid her like the plague

To start we don't have a textbook so class is all over the place. If you don't understand the material she will belittle you in front of class. Will NOT take her again.
