Comment:

Mrs. Meadows is a wonderful professor despite all of her harsh ratings on here. I took her for Math 119 & 125 and she remained an outstanding professor. This is a flipped course so you should know the material before you come to class but its just watching videos and taking her guided notes. Shes very interactive in class and explains well.

Comment:

Unless you are prepared to basically teach yourself, don't take this class. Its a flip and all lectures, work, notes, are done at home. I never once saw Mrs. Peery, so it all depends on your TA. My TA changed multiple times, and none of them made me feel as if they actually care how I did in the class. Would NOT have taken if I knew it was a flip.

Comment:

80% of our grade was made up of tests. I never actually saw Prof. Peery once this semester, since this is a flipped course. Videos were pretty straightforward, but she isn't very accessible outside of class. This class wasn't extremely difficult, but prepare to teach yourself most of the material.

Comment:

85% of your grade is exams. The in-class quizzes and homeworks are stressed and take up too much time for them to only be 15% of your grade. Overall, it depends on your TA. Mine was AMAZING and so helpful that I'm taking him next semester. However, I know 4 people in the same course with 4 different TA's and all of theirs are unhelpful and rude.

Comment:

Overall, the material of this class isn't difficult, but Professor's Peery's policies are less than ideal. There aren't any extra credit or drops in the class. 85% of your grade are your exams. The test's aren't multiple choice. There are no partial credit on quizzes. If you email her, don't expect a nice response. I would take a different prof.

Comment:

This was one of my least favorite classes I've taken. It's flipped, so Peery doesn't even interact with the students, really. My roommate tried to email her, and she answered with " don't email me about this." Honestly, even the TAs weren't helpful. If you have a choice, choose someone else.

Comment:

Her exams are difficult, she often asks trick questions. Attendance is mandatory and if you skip class it doesn't matter the reason, she will excuse you from the in class work. Studying the review sheets that she gives in class is essential if you want to pass her exams

this is a flipped class so it is harder than a usual math class. you only interact with your TA and that was difficult for me because my TA taught us like we should already know what he was saying. lots of webassign homework. watch lectures peery posts on youtube. tests are graded harshly.

It is all in your TA which is the only person you will see since it is a flip class. I loved his so much I am taking him again. I am pretty good at math, so it wasn't that hard, although what is hard is not getting to use a calculator. I did poorly on one test which is hard to pull up to make an A, but overall is just a lot of homework.

Comment:

Malissa Peery isn't great or horrible. You could basically tank on one test and not be able to get an A in the class. It's a flipped class which means that you learn the concepts at home. The TA's don't really teach you anything in class, but they are really helpful if you go to office hours. Go to office hours and understand the concepts.

She outlines everything very well on the syllabus so just be prepared because due dates are not changing. However, shes very nice & kind! Makes her class like a home.

She is a very good professor. She helps students as much as she can. However, this is a flip class so you will have tons of homework but its easy.

Comment:

It's a flipped classroom so you will never meet Peery. Her tests can be kinda tricky. Lots of homework! If you do bad on one test you're basically guaranteed a B- or C+. She gives ZERO extra credit opportunities so you have to deal with whatever grade you have. Going to class is mandatory (clicker questions and/or worksheets as a grade).

Absolutely awful. She has a REACT course, a flip course. You watch her videos on YouTube then go to class and have a TA help you figure out what you don't understand. Also, half of the stuff we have for homework or in class work, she never goes over in the videos. I feel that I have learned nothing from her. DO NOT TAKE.

Comment:

Mrs. Peery is a great professor. She goes above and beyond to help her students out. If you have any difficulty you can go to her office hours which are very little a week or you can go to the math center for tutoring. I did the flip class and I think it was extremely helpful. It's a lot of work, but it helps you understand the material.

if you aren't naturally good at math, get ready to have a tough time. it's a flipped class so basically you are supposed to teach yourself by watching videos of Peery (so time consuming) and then you have a TA, all mine did was pass out a worksheet and never talked. I went to all his office hours & studied a ton the whole semester & still got a C+

Comment:

Malissa Peery's Math 119 class is a flip class, meaning she teaches through online videos on YouTube. I had an amazing TA that "taught" our class. Although he was not the actual instructor, he is what got me through the class. (cameron cook) The tests are weighted a lot more than homeworks/quizzes. If you do well on those, you will pass.
