Comment:

I understand teachers sometimes mess up at math, but a student was correcting her at least once every class. She didn't work through all her examples, and the tests were nothing like the notes or homework.

Comment:

Professor Lakey definitely makes a math lecture more entertaining than it could be, however I would beware of her a little if you get confused easily. She did have a habit of making a lot of mistakes during her lectures, so for me it was difficult at times to follow along. Still, she's very friendly and does care about her students.

Comment:

Peggy is really kind and you can tell that she cares about the subject that she teaches. This class in it of itself is really strange and different than any other math that you will ever take. The only thing is that she often comes into class pretty flustered and makes a few mistakes along the way.

She was knowledgeable, but rushed through lectures. Attendance isnt mandatory, but be ready to spend at least 2-3 hours on homework each night. Also has you take a ton of exams.

Comment:

Professor Lakey is great at teaching this course. She really tries to help students understand the material and her exams were reasonable with the material covered prior. The book is necessary only for the practice problems used for exams. She's a great professor but don't underestimate this class if you slack it can hard real quick.

Ms. Lakey was the best math teacher I've ever had! She was amazing and funny! She tries her best to make sure you understand and if you don't or need extra help they have a tutor center and she has office hours that I took advantage of 2 times a week and she was always helpful! If math is difficult, it's up to the student to put in the effort.

Comment:

She is a very nice and helpful woman, but an awful teacher. She moves extremely quickly and doesn't stop for clarification or explanation. She also makes 4+ errors in her instruction every day that will completely mess up your notes and irritate you to no end. Do not take this class

I loved taking this class and loved this professor. Not only was she easy to understand but she cares a lot about her students understanding the material. Definitely take her if you ever have the chance. She does make a lot of mistakes in class but she always fixes them.

Comment:

Second time having this professor and she really cares about if we understand the information. She conveys with lecture with many examples that help us understand each topic she teaches. She talks a little fast but if you ask her to slow down she will. Course is hard but she definitely makes it easier. Definitely recommend.

Comment:

She's one of those people who are very intelligent in her field of study, and rather than teaching she likes to display her mastery of the subject. Goes through problems so fast that you can't keep up with.

Comment:

Worst my professor I've ever had. I'd go as far to say she's the worst educator I've ever witnessed. She goes through her lectures as fast as she can in order to show you how smart she is. Then at the end of an absurdly complex problem she will say, "you guys got that?" And then moves on again without giving you a chance to say "No!"

Comment:

Worst math Professor I've ever had. She's one of those people who likes to go through problems as fast as she can in an effort impress her students or something, which I hate. She doesn't explain anything very well and she writes at 100mph. Bring a recording device because there's no way you can keep up with her examples as she goes.

Peggy is an amazing professor. She's beyond funny and she's such a sweet person. She is very understanding and helps out in any way she can. The quizzes are normally with partners and not hard at all. As long as you pay attention and do the homework, this class isn't hard.

Comment:

This was not an easy A class, however it was still an easy class. There is homework every week, and there are 3-4 tests through the semester. Overall it was not a bad class at all. I highly recommend going to class. It is easier hearing it explained than just reading the book.
