WOW, Professor Vintu is a phenomenal instructor. Test are multiple choice, but impossible to guess. All calculators are allowed. For TI-89 students who know the calculator. Guaranteed B. Very helpful, plus explains calculus in a way one can understand, instead of memorizing formulas. Anyways, as a teacher myself, I would recommend this Professor.

This is by far the worst example of teaching I have ever seen. The first day of this hybrid class she had us log into the MyMathLab and just told us to start working without any review. She then decides 20 minutes before class is over that she wanted to start teaching and rushed through everything. Never once when she actually teaches does she ask

I enjoyed having Ms. Vintu as a teacher. First, after she puts down her belongings, she begins her daily lecture. If you are confused, she tries to help clarify. She also let us know that we could come to her for help during posted hours. This meant a lot because other professors tell you to go to a tutor. It shows she cares about your grade.

If you value your GPA, do not take her for calc. Says "email me with questions" but never replys. I've emailed her 6 times through the semester regarding webassign issues and math problems and never once got an email back. Webassign is absolute garbage. Be ready to learn from youtube. Never made less than an A until this class.

She has a bit of an accent so if you can't respect that, don't take her. She is genuinely the sweetest person, as long as you show her you're engaged, she will always help and be supportive of you as her student. The class is an "easy A" if you do All the work. Also she can make any difficult subject sound simple without being condescending

Professor Vintu gives you a workable hw load, compared to my previous Pre-Cal class. She workouts out the problems from the textbook in class. If you have any questions regarding the homework she will work them out. You turn your homework in when you take the test, which to me allows me to review my homework. I would take her again.

She is very engaging with the curriculum in her lectures, most of them are online, however, she still does her best to help her students. The tests can be hard if there is no way to get to the modules that she provides but the powerpoints do also help with the homework even though the powerpoints don't cover most of the problems it still does help.

I had the pleasure of having Professor Vintu as my Elementary Algebra professor. She was concise, clear, in-depth as well as constantly reaching out to touch base if I ever needed assistance. She also provided the option to work on past modules to improve my grade so that I would be satisfied with the score I earned.

Professor Vintu is a good teacher and she listens to your concerns and struggles. This class moved from the classroom to online due to Covid 19 but she was virtual live for each class, so you were able to see her work out problems and answer questions directly. You must participate in this class. Mathlab was a requirement for this class, no book

Professor Vintu is amazing! In this pandemic she has been extremely caring and understanding of everyones life. Her lectures were long, but really informative and she answered questions as best as she could. She even offered to email you with more information after her online lectures to make sure you got it. I wish I had her for every math class!

Professor Vintu seems like a nice lady, but the disconnect between herself and the students while teaching virtually is galaxies away. Want to stare at a whiteboard on a blurry camera with glare right from a lamp for an hour and a half twice a week? Than this class is for you. Goes over the simplest arithmetic until you feel like a child.

Ms. Vintu is very nice. Used MyMathLab w/ no Canvas. What I didn't like was the mid-term/final was over half the entire grade. This means if you want to get an A you can't play around and you got to come in and put in the work. Study yourself and use outside resources. This was not an easy A but I'm happy because I actually learned something.

Highly recommend! Her lectures were easy to understand. Homework wise, you use myMathLab: you have at least three homework and one quiz a week. BUT they are unlimited in tries, and she'll take the highest score. For midterm/final, she unlocked everything to help us get to the highest grade we can. Great teacher!

Not that bad of an online teacher. She's very nice but the only thing that's bad is that the camera quality is hard to see. A good thing is that she lets you do homework and quizzes multiple times, however, you must study for the mid and final exam because you only have two tries. I say take her if you need an A or B if you need to pass math.

I think she was a very good professor and at first I was worried about how she explained the lessons, but in the end I did think she was helpful. She is pretty caring as far as I could tell, which can sometimes be hard to find in college. I would take her class again!

I do not recommend her if you plan on truly learning.She moves quickly.She does not record her class sessions so be prepared to take notes.DOES NOT properly explain how to solve problems.She also is easily frustrated by students asking questions and will either disregard or go around said questions.I would not recommend if you are a visual learner.

Overall Ms.vintu had a very easy class that was all completed through Pearson. there was a lot of homework but it was all easy and can be done if you manage your time correctly. The online portion isn't mandatory so you are able to work at your own pace per week. But if you need constant communication, consider a different professor. 9/10 overall!

To clarify, I took MAT0022, but that wasn't listed as an option. Monica is a fantastic lecturer and provides examples for every learning type. Because her lectures are so detailed there was no reason to go through the multimedia lectures in MyMathLab. Homework is heavy, but necessary. I would 100% take another class with this professor.

I took Topics in Mathematics for 7 weeks (live online once a week) and regret taking it with this professor. There is 4+ homework assignments (15+ Q's/problems) and about 2 quizzes each week, & a total of 4 test (around 15-25 Q's). Be aware she has an accent, doesn't cover many lessons during lectures BUT did extend turn in date until the last day.
