She literally lays out everything for you through her modules. She'll help you take it step-by-step and will do everything she can to help you get a good grade. Lectures were amazing, extra resources on material, and homework problems are exactly what you see on the exams. She's a reasonable and great teacher! 10/10 folks

I took Professor Larsen Summer 2020. I had to take this class because I hadn't taken a math class in awhile but Larsen helped with how she taught. I don't like taking online classes but Larsen made it easier and helped anyone who had questions. If you pay attention and do the problems she assigns, the class shouldn't be hard.

A summer completely online course at 7 am and she wont upload the lectures to watch later. You have to be at every zoom and you can not review them later. The class was extremely accelerated due to summer but regardless she did very little teaching and just put the class into breakout groups where no one knew what to do. Must show your face on zoom

gives you the resources to get a good grade with her quiz and test replacement method. definitely not an easy class. Only gripe I had with her was that her tests were times an insanely short times. I along with friends in class either had just enough time to finish without checking work or couldn't finish the exam. I think they were timed @ 45min

Comment:

One of the best math professor Ive had. Easy A if you commit from the very beginning. Very clear and she helps if you dont understand something. She is also the Math Lab coordinator, so she will want you to use the resources from the school (which are very helpful). She gave us an opportunity to replace an exam grade by doing some extra tasks.

Comment:

Professor Larsen is a great professor, because she takes the time to outline each chapter. Every week there was a quiz or 2 but she only kept the best 10. You must attend the class everyday because theres a lot of material in each chapter that is critical. Theres 3 tests and one final. I took this course during COVID-19 And she made it manageable

Comment:

This class takes a lot of time and effort to get a good grade. She's still offering to drop the lowest exam score. Also has us take a lot of quizzes and only keeps the top 10 scores. Available to make a video conference and help you with whatever you need. Added another tutoring session to help. Overall, she cares about helping her students pass.

From first day/before the covid thing she was late to class a lot/things she runs outside of class take a lot of her energy i guess, not clear about what she wants, hw will just get dropped on you, super inflexible. Covid transition has been a nightmare, held class & gave hw when admins said class was cancelled.

Easy class,, but I disliked how unaccessible she was. I know of several people, including myself, that can tell you that she won't reply to your emails even if they involve questions about assignments, etc

Comment:

One of the kindest professors ever. She is probably the best person to teach this subject. She explains the information so well you would think she invented the concept herself. She also shows great interest in her students. Somehow she makes a tough subject super easy to understand. Easily the BEST trigonometry professors you could ever have.

4 exams, plus the final. I love trig, and she def knows how to teach. you have hw online but it's not a lot, however the amount you study is up to you. Quizzes every week, however she only counts 12 and the rest she drops the lowest. every quiz she gives out WILL be on the test so KEEP EM. other than that, goodluck! (:

Comment:

Okay, let me first say, yeah shes good at explaining things for those who are relatively new or have not taken the course for a while. However, she goes so slow, she does not go by the syllabus at all. In my case, I rely on the syllabus religiously. She definitely doesn't go by it. Rushes the last few chapters on the last few weeks of school. Meh..

If you're just trying to get through Math 100 and no more, Chris is a good choice. She tries to make her lessons relevant to the real world as much as possible. Make sure you do the online homework assignments; I made the mistake of ignoring them and had to do hundreds of them the weekend before the final. Overall, good class!

Great Professor! Homework was all online but its pretty similar to lecture. Tests are pretty easy as long as you pay attention in class. Quiz once a week but she only uses your best 10 quizzes and drops the rest! Overall Phenomenal Teacher! Would 100% recommend for TRIG!

She is really nice and explains all the topics well. She will drop a test if you go to the math lab weekly. Which is not too bad, as you can work on your HW there. Lots of opportunities to learn the material. Tests are similar to quiz questions and math lab assignments. FYI dont miss the last class before the final, she almost hands you the test Qs

Professor Larsen is the best trig professor! You NEED to take her class! Her class does require you to put in some work but as long as you study the notes, do the homework, and complete the lab assignments, you will get an A. Highly recommend taking her! She gives a lot of quizzes which is great because it allows you to keep up with the material.

Comment:

The class is not difficult if you do all the homework, pay attention during lectures, and use the resources that are available to you. She drops two quizzes (I believe) and an exam if you do all the review sheets and spend 3 hrs in the math lab per week. The only thing I didn't like about the class were the timed quizzes/exams- I felt rushed.

Comment:

This teacher is very helpful but be aware she is a very tough grader. She makes you take a quiz once a week and drops the 2 lowest quiz. Although she is a very good teacher she grades extremely hard. She once took off a point because my graph was not "curved" enough.

Miss. Larsen is an excellent professor! Hands down the best math professor I have ever had. She genuinely cares and wants students to do well. There is a lot of extra credit offered and she goes out of her way to help you succeed. Put in the effort and an A is attainable.
