Got behind and rushed through topics, no clear good understanding
nice lady, very leaneant. she does get behind but i didnt complane. just do your HW and stay awake and youll be fine. overall an alright professor.
Beautiful woman, both in apperance and conversation. What can I say? I made an A in calculus I and still struggled in cal II. It behooves you to be dedicated, for this is the "true" weed out class.
2 much time on basic algebra topics.only did example probs from book.i can read for myself,thank u.got behind & rushed thru harder topics.got stuck on her own examples.trying actually spending some time preparing for lectures, please.
v. nice lady! good teacher! note: also a math tutor at south campus!
mrs. vintu is great. i took here for intermediate and college algebra and both times i made better grades than i did in high school math.
She was easy and diffcult at times. Towards the end of the semester However, she started going at a much faster pace. But overall, she was alright.
The teacher just is not very warm and cariing. If you have a 79.9 then you get just that. There are so many students that come for help confused in her class.
DO NOT TAKE AN ACCELRATED CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. THE CLASS WAS VERY FRUSTRATING AS SHE RUSHES THROUGH TOPICS. I COULD BARLEY KEEP UP WITH THE NOTES MUCH LESS UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS WRITING.
Needs to be more organize and review more, need to works on build more stucture for those student continuing thier studies in math. does not consider the students as important.
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.
Earned an A in Cal I and B in Cal II. It benefits the student to know Trig and be familiar with analytical geometry for success.
Great teacher! I took MAT1033 with her last semester and I'm about to take MAC1105 with her again.

Very difficult class. If you do not have the concepts of Algebra down this will be a difficult class. She moves fast and will leave you behind and her tests are extremely difficult. The only good thing her final seemed to be easier than the tests were. I struggled to get a "C".
She is very unclear in her teaching, and when asked to go back she will insist the class must move on, leaving all who aren't Einstein clones in the dust. I got by with a C, and even that was by the skin of my teeth.
I JUST GOT OUT OF MAT 1033 WITH MS.VINTU AND I MUST SAY SHE IS A WONDERFUL MATH TEACHER AND THE ONLY WAY SOMEONE COULD NOT DO WELL IN HER CLASS IS IF THEY DON'T PAY ATTENTION WHEN SHE IS TEACHING BECAUSE SHE LIKES TO SHOW INFORMATION STEP BY STEP AND GO OVER THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE IN THE CLASS UNDERSTANDS.
Good teacher. Very clear and organized. Moves a little fast. Will help you out one on one if you ask.
Very sweet lady. Does not teach what she test you on. Shows you very basic concepts then expects you to be able to tackle extremely complicated problems. Does not teach you what she test you on. Gets behind and hurries thru lessons. If you want to be taught this subject, avoid this teacher. Straight from the book.
Great Professor. Multiple choice tests. Goes at a good pace for those of us that suck at Algebra.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Says the test will reflect the quiz-Doesn't! Not helpful if you have problems. Tries to finish the entire book.
VERY VERY GOOD TEACHER. TESTS ARE MULTIPLE CHOICE. VERY VERY HELPFUL. ALL CHAPTER HOMEWORK IS DUE ON THE DAY OF THE CHAPTER TEST. KEEPS ATTENDANCE POINTS. OFFERS SOME EXTRA CREDIT. I RECOMMEND TAKING HER. EASY A AS LONG AS YOU DO THE HOMEWORK AND GO TO CLASS! ALSO HAD TO DO A SERVICE PROJECT.
This teacher is awesome. She goes at a pretty steady pace and she's extremely helpful when you don't understand. The workload can be a bit heavy if -you- let it build up on you, but homework is due on test days. Tests seem a bit harder than homework problems, but they reflect what she teaches on the board. Very good class.
Easy class if you attend, take notes, and do homework. She is willing to help if you ask. She provides practice tests on Blackboard. She taught until the last minute of class so don't expect to get out early. Overall easy class and nice teacher.
Very good professor! Very Knowledgeable and easy to understand. Test are multiple choice and homework is due on test dates. Come to class and you will pass. This was my 2nd time taking this course and ended up with an A
She was a great teacher. Very structured. I learned a lot. It's best not to miss any classes though. You learn something new each class and she teaches up until the last minute.
Because of Professor Vintu I actually like mathematics to the extent of doing really akward equations. SHe was very helpful. Yeah you should take her.
Very easy and fun to learn. She is a sweet lady. I love her though.
I can't believe this teacher got theese ratings. She might be good for students who understand math already but for the remeadial students I would not recomend her. No quizzes, 400 out of 495 points of your grade are based on 4 tests. When asked a question she doesnt explain clearly. DO NOT take this teacher unless already understand math.
She is awesome! she teaches very well, and will not go on untill everyone understands! She leaves examples on the board during exams. all you have to do is go to class and do the work and its an easy A
Professor Vintu is great! She goes strickly by the book and breaks down the problems for you. I love math and enjoyed taking this class. If you come to class and do your homework you will pass the class. Gives multiple choice test.
As far as math teahers go shes as good as it's gonna get! Doesn't really grade homework just gives you credit for trying. Test are mult. choice. I'm taking her again for Statistics!
She's a very nice woman willing to take the time to help with what you don't understand. She does have a thick accent that is a little difficult to decipher, and sometimes looks caught off guard in trying to explain things. Lots of notes taken in this class, but worth it in the long run.

Great teacher,She will do her best to make sure you understand the work
Good teacher.
She's a good teacher. She doesn't make things hard. She only cares if you did the homework, and not if you got it right. Her tests are kind of long but not too hard. They're all multiple choices.
she is the best in math...
nice lady. quick to return e-mails. don't take her class if you wish to go into higher levels. tests are long but not very difficult. teaches straight out of the book though. if u have a problem with homework she will have a lot of trouble explaining. all the examples she gives are straight out of the book.
SHE IS VERY PATIENT AND EASY GOING. SHE IS WILLING TO TEACH YOU IF YOU ARE WILLING TO LEARN. TAKE HER....
This professor is excellent. She teaches from the book, but shows you her own way of solving problems that are not in the book. They are much easier her way!! I went in knowing nothing and came out with an A+. She not only taught me math, but made me enjoy doing it.
Not clear...she has a strong accent.
Ok here's the deal. Pros: very nice, willing to stay after to answer questions, encourages u 2 ask questions during class, will take time 2 make sure u understand before she moves on, hw boosts ur grade, tests r multiple choice. Cons: has a VERY HEAVY Romanian accent, when showing problem steps she sometimes speeds up to a very fast pace.
She is a disorganized mess of a professor who is always skipping and delaying chapters and quizes. She doesn't know how to communicate with people. Her teaching is convulted and confusing. She doesn't care if you understand anything and doesn't care what you know or if you're learning. She is a total waste of time and money. Don't take her at all.
Super sweet teacher. Very understanding and willing to help. Minimal homework. Multiple choice test. Would definately take her again!
Ms. Vintu is a great professor! I took her MAT0024 class first and am currently taking MAT1033 with her. Explains everything thouroughly. Homework is just checked to see if done, not if the answers are right. Lowest test grade can be redone and then lowest grade dropped after that. Nothing unexpected. Would highly recommend
A great professor. Helpful and would advise anyone to take her. Go to class and show a interest and you will pass.
Homework assignments had to be turned in and attendance is part of your grade; easy points if you can show up and make an effort. Multiple choice tests. Professor Vintu is very nice and helpful. If you make the effort and do the homework assignments, it's an easy A.
I love her. Still in her class right now and so far she is a really patient teacher who shows every step to problems on the board and ask you if you require any problem to be done for you.If you want to learn and are going to put forth effort shes great!!! deff take her class ")
I really like the way she teaches. She is a VERY caring teacher that does not want any student to not make it... at all costs. She has much patience and drops the lowest test score. TAKE HER FOR MAC1105.
I really liked Professor Vintu if you want to pass the class you have to come to class. She will give 100% to those who want to succeed.
awsome teacher she actually teaches if you want to learn show up and ask questions she goes over problems until you get it and will stay after
OMG!!!I love Ms.Vintu!!! She made the class so easy. I hate math and it's MY WORST SUBJECT but was able to pass the class and the exam with a 25/30!
I took Ms. Vintu for MAT0024, MAT1033 & MAC1105! She is AWESOME! You will have 5 tests. She drops the lowest test grade. She will explain the steps to do each problem and you WILL understand! If not, she will help you anytime! You will also get points for doing your homework and coming to class. You won't regret taking any of her classes!
love her!!
Professor Vintu is a good person at heart, but as a math teacher i would recommend you do not take her. She does not follow the syllabus/calendar that is set for the term and is horrible about getting grades back to you.
She's a nice teacher with alot of patience.This class is taken on computers so yu can do your assiqnments home but quizzes&tests are to be taken in class.Even thouqh you can work on your pace,its mandatory you stay on task because the deadline will sneak up on you.
Professor Vintu is awsome, if you take very, very good notes. Make sure you ask real questions and you will be in great shape. Of course study and do all assisgned homework problems. Oh yaeh come to class because that helps your grade, especially if you pay attention in class. It's a done deal an A for you!!!!!!
Professor Vintu is a good professor for those who understand/enjoy math.She would teach us one way and the computer another which made the work difficult to understand. She did not drop any test grades and did not go over the last section in the book but still riequired us to do the homework/test/quiz/final with these problems.
good teacher! highlly recommand!**:)
Knows what she is teaching but have a very bad way of teaching it, she only knows how to explain the work in one way, most people learn in diff. ways. She is not fussy on when you get the assignment done as long as you get it done. Overall she is a good teacher but she just makes the class boring with her way of teaching.
This professor has a very poor way of giving notes. She only teaches one way and get offended when questioned. I would not recommend this teacher to my 2nd grader.
Made every attempt to help during and outside of class hours. Highly recommend. Course was hard but she dropped the lowest test grade and counts attendance and homework, which helps with overall score.
Professor Vintu is a very patient instructor to the point to her student take advantage of her kindness. Test are through MathLab, but she is willing to come to class early to help, get tutors...she will go out her way to help the student succeed, there is no reason for anyone to fail unless they are not trying. I highly recommend Professor Vintu.
Professor Vintu is a kind hearted professor, but her teaching is not clear. Her wat of explaining is difficult. She will try to help you pass her class though.
Mrs. Vintu doesn't teach well. You write notes for the whole class period and she teaches one way. When you try to ask questions she won't answer directly and then moves on. All homework and quizzes are on line which is a plus. Don't take this class if you are not excellent in math and can't teach yourself. Its sad! :0( I really love math.
She will do her best to help and ensure that you pass, great professor she really knows her stuff! (WARNING: she has a strong accent)
Nice lady but I wouldn't recommend. Can't explain things in layman's terms. Throws up equations on the board, works them out and moves on without giving us time to digest. Only one 15 min. break (4hr class). Half the class dropped or withdrew by the 3rd class. I was confused or lost most of the time and I consider myself an above average student.
Professor Vintu is an AWESOME professor. You will take a lot of notes from the board, but she will stop and answer any questions. She has a STRONG desire for students to succeed. Before passing out an exam, she will go over areas covered on the test to ensure you have a good understanding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! (and I'm not a big fan of Algebra)
Nice lady. Her teaching style is so mundane and beyond boring. Was never available during her office hours and always told me to go see the tutors. Half the time the tutors didnt have the answer either. Avoid her for Calc 1.
worst. teacher. ever. If you do not understand Algebra and struggle in mathematics. Do not take her. She will put a problem on the board solve it and move on. She wont answer your questions just look @ you and smile. Spent most of my time in the math lab. DO NOT TAKE HER.
Must take class! Professor Vintu gives easy tests, homework is checked for completion and attendance is for a grade. You must put a little effort on your behalf to understand the material, you may feel somewhat lost at times but she makes up for it on the tests. She is a very good looking lady and a fun class to take!
She is on my top 5! She is a great proffesor, and the way she teaches is awesome! She helps you a lot. Just do your homework, even if you failed a few problems, she will put a check mark. She dropped the worst grade of the tests. Test every other week, but she explains until you get it. The class can get a little boring, but I do recommend her.
I LOVEDDDD HER! She was so helpful and never gave up on me. i rarely went to her class and slacked off on the work at first she suggested i dropped the class but i told her i can do it. She stayed on me about finishing the class and i ended up with a B! she even let me take my final the day after i was supposed to take it!
Prof. Vintu , I recommend to take her, easy going and very understandable..
Very good professor. Will take the time you help you understand. Has a very simple teaching method. But I don't think her English comprehension is top notch, you have to explain a lot of stuff.
Don't take online unless you are willing to teach yourself. My questions were never answered and she took forever to email you back!
If you take this class 2 days a week it will one computer day and one lecture day. Lecture day is very boring. she rambles on and on never really gets to the point. takes for ever. But is very helpful and understanding. I basically taught myself because it took forever to get thru the lessons. Make sure you don't procrastinate.
Whenever i take a math class her name is the first i search! i'm awful at math but i passed her classes twice she gives a lot of notes which are really helpful not many quizzes tests are easy if you studied, not so bad if you did not. did not stress attendance but she does follow school policy her accent is strong but understandable
She has a tendency to go on and on and on and either dodge the main objective of the problem in question or ramble off about some other problem, very unclear and leaves the class confused most of the time. She is a very nice lady and willing to help, however you will spend most of the time teaching yourself. Not recommended for introverted people.
I hated this class. I have never had a problem with math but this woman confused me more than she helped. She copies straight out of the book and looks at you a little crazy when you ask her to explain. Most of my classmates struggled through this class and the average grade was a C.
This class is very easy. I took Ms. Vintu for intermediate algebra and once I seen that shes also teaching College Algebra I made sure I took her again. We had 5 test and whenever we took a test homework was due, the test were 25 questions each. Class is very boring and she made sure she took advantage of EVERY minute but it wasn't hard at all.
Professor Vintu is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I took her for Calculus I and wish that I could have taken her for higher level maths. She is helpful and kind. Participate in class, do your homework, and study for the tests.
Curriculum is more computer based. lectures are usually very long and mainly consists of her just doing examples on the board( which were helpful;similar to tests). tried to fit too many sections into one class period at times; like 5 mins till dismissal, but did try to help if you asked for it. No extra credit, and cannot use notes on tests.
Great professor. Goes over any questions you may have. Lots of homework though. It helps that she is stunningly gorgeous. Highly recommend her.
Vintu is okay. She let's you take tests whenever you are ready at the assessment center. She isn't the best teacher but she is nice enough. If you fail her class it's because you didn't do your work. If you aren't good in math I wouldn't take her. She also doesn't care if you type answers in wrong but have the correct work. That's kind of annoying
Whatever you do, do not take her online. She uses webassign, which is the WORST online math class out there. It does not help you at ALL like mathlab. She Takes forever to responds to emails, does not help, and is overall useless online.
Honestly the only time i heard personally from her was to be reminded to schedule exams. this class is totally individualized online. if you can't self teach i don't recommend taking it online.
Did not like her. She was very snarky with her responses, if she did reply. The class work was very time consuming but relevant. Would not suggest taking her if you are looking for any positive interactions, or are a first time online class taker.
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 was great, I really enjoyed her class. Took were 8 week class & finished in 2 weeks. Shes awesome!!!
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.
She is very sweet but doesn't know how to teach.
Great professor but if you are not fast you will fall behind the class
She does a great job at helping you understand the topics through lectures. lots of work so you need to keep up or you will fall behind. Gives chances to improve and retake assignments. Great math Professor
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.
Genuinely the worst teacher I have ever had to deal with, half of the class stopped attending, she was terrible, and didn't answer question properly. Such a waste of a semester
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.
Good Professor. She has a strong accent but is understandable. Helpful and responds promptly. Some days it was frustrating because there was a glare on the whiteboard that made it hard to see since it was an online class. I would take her class again.
She made math feel approachable as an adult returning to school. A very kind lady who was happy to help answer any questions, she explained things very thoroughly and would offer different approaches if the first was unclear. I want her as a math professor again SO bad.
Kind and caring teacher, she wants to see her students succeed and will go above and beyond to help.
Professor Adina is really organized in her lectures. Her personality is awesome and she is really patient. Everything is so easy after her lectures. Even her tips and advices are so helpful. Definitely recommended!!
Prof. Vintu's class was manageable with good time management. The online format allows flexibility, but midterm and final exams require solid preparation. unstuckstudy and other resources were helpful for study prep.
