Comment:

I took her for MATH 1301 Online . It was tough to understand her instructions because they are not clear. She will get mad if there isn't much participation during online lectures. During midterm week my mom was hospitalized and she did not try to help me. I had to take the test at the hospital. Also, told me to get better math and reading skills.

Lots of group projects and individual work. She's not a hard professor though. I don't understand why these reviews claim she has an accent; I was born and raised in Texas and she's really clear to me. Very well organized professor and very engaging even when online.

She is awesome! She goes sort of slow but gives you everything you need to know for the exams. Like any math course, you need to put in the time but she is a very thorough professor in teaching the students.

If you actually show up for her lectures it would be very difficult to fail this class. She does a good job explaining things and was very friendly.

Comment:

Grading- Straight forward criteria. Doesn't curve. Lecture- Gives just enough information for course. Accent maybe problematic to some. Speed at leisure pace may be issue. Accessibility- Available outside class. Recommend talking to improve class. Attitude- Friendly, sometimes casual. Relatable Summary- Recommended though course may be slow

Comment:

She' s in my math class as a sub. Her accent is so bad you cannot understand her. She works way to fast and if you cannot keep up she won't go back. She has a whole bunch of notes that you cannot comprehend on what she is trying to teach. Don't take her you will surely fail guaranteed!

Comment:

She's a nice lady but her tests are tough. I took this as a hybrid and the material was just too difficult for me to get a decent grade. Her lectures are long and she moves fast. She has an accent that makes it a bit more difficult to understand her. She doesn't give test reviews but will answer questions before/after class. Wouldn't take again.

Comment:

I will be fair with her. She explains well, she gives you her expectations, and she will make you work for your grade. However, she does play favorite with the scholars academy kids. I really mean favorite, as in they can do no wrong and they are the example to follow. It gets annoying as the semester goes on.

Comment:

Basically if you don't keep up from the begining your basically trying to play catch Up. I work and have other classes full time student and full time job. It's all in MyMathLab and if your don't finish in time she makes it super diff to get the assigns reopened which slows you down even more. It's super stressful if you have other priorities.

Mrs. Nakamura REALLY cares about the students that care. You come to class and your best you'll pass. She gave extra points on the test for the people that showed up to class. You care she care. You don't care how can you expect her to care??????

Comment:

stay away from her. she gets lots of mistakes while teaching and then students get confused. her english is not the best and it contributes to students getting confused. get ready to copy the 8000 words she writes on the board. dont ask questions because she will simply reply "Yeah" and then she moves on. Read 2 chapters for every class.

Pro. Nakamura is extremely tough. She does not give you slack whatsoever, but she is fair and if you work hard you may actually learn something. I had to work hard and study a lot but I made an A in her summer business calculus course. I would recommend her, but it will not be an easy A.

This is one of the worst professors I have had. She won't help you at all. On course compass you miss a due date because you were busy with other things, she doesn't care and she will make you jump through hoops just to get the darn thing unlocked and she is mean about it. I do not recommend her at all.

Comment:

This was a difficult course and i just don't think her method of teaching is helpful. For the final other Stat students received a detailed review from their professors and we just got a series of problems we should work out from the book.
