She is an awsome teacher! Didnt even do the homework and got an A! I would take her over anyone else for any math course!!!! Worksheets are awsome! We should have more math professors like her!
Prof Shaw is a excellent teacher. she is very understanding and always willing to help. her methods of teaching and grading is something that all math teachers should pick up! i am taking her again next semester for college algebra and cant wait. defiantly take this teacher!
Easy class! Hands out notes and you do problems with her, you get points for that. Homework is online, and her tests are from the notes! Really easy! Highly recommended!
Amazing teacher! took her for intermediate alg and then college alg and it was great both times. shes explains everything, can get in contact with her quick and she is very understanding! Highly Recommend
I took this class online, and we use a program called my math lab. The class is very routine. The good thing about this class is that she offers lots of extra credit (3-6) extra credit points every WEEK and adds them on to your midterm and final exam grade. If math is not your best subject than she is the teacher for you.
Took online. Material hard & got frustrated at times trying to learn it. A lot of work. Put into groups to work on discussions together. Does give opportunities for extra points added to midterm & final. Online quiz each week, can take twice. Project @ end of semester. Midterm & final taken @ testing center, does allow you to take a formula card.
Took this class online I am not good in math at all got a B. She is very helpful, quiz every week,and group discussions. She says you can take the quiz twice but I have taken quizzes three and four times. She really want you to pass. This is the best professor I have had thus far.
Although Ms Shaw asks more from students than other teachers with the same class, she is so helpful and encouraging, available to help you, and patient if you fall behind. She will work with you till the end. If her class is still open, sign on. You won't regret it.
Took her online and she gives out a lot of homework on Course Compass. 30 or so questions a week with 1 mid-term & 1 final. I passed with a B but this class would not count as "easy" unless you're good at Math to begin with. So beware of the homework. But otherwise no complaints.
omgosh! Dr. Shaw is amazing! I had to take intermidate 3 times, and FINALLY passed with her! She WANTS her students to pass. She makes it very hard for you to get anything under a "b" in her class and in all assignments. I hated math and always failed before her, and now im taking her again for college algebra! SO.. easy....and shes pretty hilariou
She was pretty good. I was so nervous about passing this online class but left with an A! Dude! Fa real tho! She will ALWAYS be there to help when u need it. The end of the semester gets a bit hectic tho. HW and Quizzes are ok. But u can do the HW again and again with diff examples to help until u understand. I shud have taken her for MAC1105 too.
Good teacher. About 20-30 hw problems and a quiz each week. Very lenient. Easy grader. I did very bad in math my whole life but did well with her. I thought I would fail the midterm and got an A. I have an A in the class too. If you need more time for assignments ask, she will give it to you. She is a really nice lady not much help via email.
Online class, work load was not bad at all except for the projects. I mean seriously, who gives 3 GROUP projects in an ONLINE math course? Great Prof. though, very kind and understood when students needed more time to do certain things within class. I would recommend allowing yourself at LEAST 6-8 hours a week to do work.
Took the online class. Very lenient and understanding prof. writes back right away. material not to hard. easy directions. only con would be the three GROUP projects. i like doing things on my own, so having do work on something as a group was hard, especially if you're assigned with slackers. mid and final have to be taken in campus.
I love Ms. Shaw. She is AWESOME and I mean it. She is very leniet and she wants EVERYONE to pass. I always thought I'd hate math but after taking her I LOVE IT. Especially if your bad with math SHE WILL HELP YOU. TAKE HER YOU WILL PASS...FAILING IS "NOT" AN OPTION.
If your wondering if you need the book.."NO" but she will tell you to study from it lol. But you will need the code to do mymathlab. She is an awesome teacher ESPECIALLY if you are not good in math at all. I highly recommend her seriously!!!
Very nice and lenient professor. She sincerely wants you to do well. Although the majority of the work can be done online, I did find the book useful when I needed more detailed explanations. There are 3 group projects, but I found them very helpful in understanding the material better. She gives exam hints so be sure to study those.
I cannot BELIEVE the amount of group work for this online class! Group was required to work together to make a posting every week. This class would have been tolerable if it wasn't for the insane amount of group interaction. Prof. is nice but the class setup is horrible, largely due to dependency on others.
Dr Shaw is definitely a great teacher...She does everything in her power to make sure everyone passes..I had a lot happen to me this semester so I got behind and she gave me a lot of time to catch up. Very very nice person..>TAKE HER IF U CAN!! The group projects are kind of weird but good.
She is awesome! She gives extensions on assignments and lets everyone re-work tests to earn points back if you want to improve your grade. She cares about every one of her students. I am taking her for College Algebra and Stats. Her GPS system is great. You don't need the book, just the access code. A MUST TAKE! Math is my worst, now it's my best!
Mrs. Shaw is the greatest math teacher. I have never gotten A's in math until I took her. I had her for mat 1033 and now for mac 1105. Her tests are extremely similar to the review, she just changes around the numbers. She is very helpful and is easy to get an A!!
Do not take her class online. She is not helpful.
LOVE HER! I took her for MAT1033 as well and she is great. Her GPS system is so helpful, you don't need the book at all. So helpful, nice and very approachable. I missed a couple classes and the next class meeting day she took an hour out of her day to go over what I missed, one on one, before class. She needs to teach more advanced math! TAKE HER!
The best teacher ever! she is very helpful and her gps help you study for the tets..I highly recommend this teacher to any one...
I love miss shaw, shes probably one of the best math teachers ive had at valencia. her class is easy, has a considerable amount of homework, tests, and quizzes. But overall great teacher, knows what shes talking about, and extremely helpful. Ive taken her for two math classes, and i plan on taking her again.
Ms. Shaw is one of the best teachers ive had at valencia. Shes very helpful with everything, and her GPS classwork helps tremendeously. Overall she knows how to explain anything in the best way so that everyone understands. I would definitly take her again.
LOVE HER!!! she is one of the best teachers in valencia.. she actually explains everything in detail and if someone does not get something she starts over and explains it until we get it.
Professor Shaw is awesome. She always answers emails promptly and will help you when you get stuck. I took the class online and she had every resourse one could possible want to teach themselves math. I am not a math-inclined person whatsoever, but Professor Shaw made it possible for me to pass this course. She should be nominated for best professo
i took her class online and in the beggining it will seem a little confusing but you'll get the hold of it. She is really respectfull and replies to emails very very fast, she's always there to help you. on a weekly basis we were required to do homework, answer questions in the discussion board, reply to 2 posts, take a quiz. 1 midterm, 1 final :)
Took her fro College alg., precalc, and trig. very good teacher, sometimes hard to understand but you get used to it. Highly recommend her as a math teacher. Online classes: "each lesson/chapter you get a quiz on it. homework. two tests on campus midterm and final." Inclass: "quizzes every few weeks, online homework, and multiple tests."
She is a wonderful teacher. Easy A gives out extra credit and wants you to pass. She does everything in her power to help you pass PLEASE TAKE HER. I wish she taught every other class i need because i would take her for everything. GREAT PROF!!!
Do not take her ONLINE... 2/3's of our class dropped at least. She refused to regroup our groups so, in my case, we had a group of 5 and it dropped to just me. I had to do all the work and she refused to redo the groups or help in anyway. Many other classmates where in same situation with only 2-3 peep left. I had to post response to my post.
Dr. Shaw is one of the best professors I have ever had. She responds to emails immediately and she is very supportive of her students. I am taking this course online and working a full time job. People who dropped the class are just lazy. She has examples for everything, homework, quizzes and projects! Highly Recommend taking her :)
She is by far my favorite teacher at VCC. She always answers questions and even ask before a test if you are unclear on anything. She offers extra credit as well. She tries her hardest to make sure every student leaves with an A. She also answers emails very fast .
I took her for college algebra, precalc, and trig. Very good teacher. Unfortunately it seems she only teaches stats now. I would recommend to anyone if you can take her take her
Mrs. Shaw was unbelievably good. I am NOT a math person and so struggled. This was my 3rd attempt at Stats. I got an A. She explains it so I get it. She tests on exactly what she says. Don't bother to read the book, it's useless. Just listen to her and follow the notes she gives in class. Thanks Mrs. Shaw!-sidebar, I got an A!
I took this class online; mind you I am a 4.0 student who excels at math (all the way to Calc 2 and trig). This course was awful! For an online class there was a ton of needless blogging and "group projects." As a working adult, the time required for this course consumed me. It was completely self taught material, and constant work necessary. SKIP!
I MISS MS. SHAW !! she was by far the best math teacher ive had period. extremely helpful when it came to anything, responds to emails fast, gave extra credit. her HW assignments were extremely easy and helpful. first math class i ever got an A in. definitly recommened taking her if you can !!
Dr.Shaw was my favorite teacher at VCC. I took her two semisters ago and loved her class. The class consisted of 4 test, online hw, and online quizzes. The hw was so simple and the quizzes were based on the hw. If you want to learn and be successful take her I have recieved A's in trig and prcal now and thinking about taking stas with her!!!!
I was never a math lover. But Mrs. Shaw was amazing. Although STAT is really hard and annoying, she made me understand it so well that i got an A+ on my final. I never got lower than a B on anything. Honestly, i know everyone says this, but if i can do it, you can for sure... of course you have to practice lol
She was the best prof ever! very very easy going...you always have alot of time to do the homework and the quizzes..the test are very easy!
Hello my lovely reviewers! Agatha Shaw is a great teacher. She is very understanding yet very professional. She requires a lot of group work and also a lot of individual work, however, her grading and weighting system is great! Homework is weighted heavy and very important. If you take it online, choose your group members wisely. Hands down, A. Sha
I took this class online. She was very helpful. It required a lot of group work as well as individual work. There were weekly assignments and quizzes. It is a faily easy course. I would recommend her to anyone! Easy A as long as you try.
I am a UCF student who decided to take it at Valencia and glad I did bc Dr. Shaw is great. Group projects and weekly quizzes but nothing to extensive. I'm selling my textbook with the 3 solution manuals for $100 or best offer. All you have to do is buy the access code. Email me at [email protected] if you are interested.
This Stat class is not terribly hard but it will take a lot of time. Weekly group projects and a large stock portfolio due at the end on top of homework and quizes. The Professor is very nice and understanding but it is a large time commitment. Guaranteed A if you have lots of time for the 40 or so weekly problems + group projects.
Great teacher! Easy class if you do what is expected. If you do all the HW and little projects you will have a great grade no matter what you receive on the mid-term and final. I am bad at math and got a B+ in the class just for participating and doing what was asked of me.
She gives a lot of work but as others have said, if you do it, you will do well in class. Group projects a little difficult for online class but she seems to be lenient on grading them. I recommend this professor but plan on spending the time on the work.
A truly great professor who actually cares about her students success. Took the class online & make no mistake, it was a great deal of work. However, in the end, you will be glad you made the trip. My highest recommendation.
I took the precalculus class online. I still have the binder edition of the bo0k if you need it. Its the gary rockweld precalculus with modeling and visualization 4th edition my email is [email protected]. She was a good teacher and good at getting back to you. I would take her again in the future.
Easy A, but very hard to understand. I had difficulty most the time but she helps as much as possible and overall is a good teacher. I would not take her again though with the exception that I had to go to the SPA a lot during the semester to teach myself the material and do all the homework. She will pass you if you show interest and come to class
I'm taking this online. It requires a time commitment, but that is because the subject matter is not easy. If you do your homework and post your discussions on time, you should do well in this class, but if you're a slacker you're probably going to feel overwhelmed. Statistics isn't easy, but if you have to take it, take it with Dr. Shaw.
*This was an online course.* Dr Shaw is very well versed in math and teaching math. She assigns a ton of busy work, but it helps keep you focused on the class. Follow her advice and stay ahead by at least a week and you should do very well. I really appreciated her teaching style.
I took this class online and recieved a B. The hw, discussion, and group project helped me pass the class. I did not do well on the exams. You work in groups for everything online.
I really enjoyed the class and all, but her accent got to me. I could barely understand her, and she teaches very fast. She will stay after class to help you with any issues you may have. Overall I like this professor.
I took Statistics online with Professor Shaw and she was the most helpful teacher I've ever had. As an English major, math and I don't get along, but she was so accommodating. It was the last class I needed to graduate so the stress and pressure were high. I would definitely recommend taking her class.
She is awesome. Took her online for precalc. All homework & quizzes done through mathlab website. Weekly discussions. Very organized and quick to respond. As long as you follow her instructions, stay on task, do all of your homework and quizzes, you will be fine. I scraped by w/ a C in algebra and I got an A with her.
Took precalc online it's a ton of work, but I have an 88% going into the final. Very fast paced and time consuming. Would definitely recommend to get math out of the way, since she's a great professor.
Great Professor! You have to keep on track with all the assignments and due dates, if you can do that, you should be set. Gives practice exams that are really helpful for midterm and final.Work out of Mymathlab,discussions and group work. Quick replies and helps you strive for that A if she sees you trying your best. Recommend!
I thought I was going to have difficulties in this class, but with the help of the teacher, PowerPoint slides, discussions, there is no way you can do bad. Just put the time and effort because it is a lot of busy work and stay on track with the modules and due dates. You will do fine if you finish on time and study the material. Highly recommend!
Took this teacher for STA 2023 and MAC 1140. All I can say is: Wow! What a great teacher! Love the homework, unlimited tries, and 30% of the weight. Discussions are easy, and if you explain yourr issues, she's very understanding. This has been my favorite teacher I've had yet...now she just needs to teach MAC 2311 ^_^ Highly recommended!
Amazing professor that will go the extra mile to make sure you do well and understand the material. You have to earn your grade, but there are many chances to do so. Take Dr. Shaw's class if you can. Great teacher and Professor!!!
This is how every teacher should be. She is nice and understanding, crystal clear about her expectations. So nice having a test where the review matches the difficulty of the test. Great teacher! I only wish she was teaching MAC 2311...
This professor is very helpful! Just make sure you understand everything in every single module. Her online class is challenging but easy just do the homework! I suggest this professor to everyone wanting to take the online class.
I would have expected more interaction from an online course. The school should actually have a listing of self-paced as opposed to online. This course was solely online and almost all self-taught. The power point slides were all right but I found the need to look elsewhere to get clearer explanations of things I did not understand.
She is a great professor. She is very helpful and cares about her students. Turn everything in on time. She does give extra credit.
Loved her she is a great teacher you do teach yourself the material but that is with any online course hw was easy and she is understanding if you need an extension on any assignment especially the tests I had a really busy schedule and she worked around my schedule keep it mind you actually have to work for her to help you! I recommend her
PROF SHAW WAS A HELP TO ME DURING THE COURSE. SHE MADE STATS SEEM EASY. I GOT A B+ IN HER CLASS. SHE GAVE EXTRA CREDIT. DO YOU WORK AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYTHING SHE HAS TO OFFER AND YOU WILL PASS THIS CLASS. SHE ANSWER EMAILS VERY QUICKLY. I AM SO HAPPY I CHOSE PROF SHAW.
Dr.shaw is a very caring person who only wants to see you rise to the top. she will do everything in her to her ability to make sure you under stand the material. I love this teacher and she's just a great professor and person overall :)
I took the class online. Stats is NOT easy. However professor Shaw is fantastic! she replies to her emails quickly and gives extensions if you really need them. If you want to get an A you need to do your work in time. Do so and study the quizzes for the midterm and final you will pass! she gives extra credit if you do all of your work. Take her!
I took her online. She truly wants you to succeed. Dr. Shaw replies to your question the same day, usually within a couple hours. She gives a lot of work but if you do it then you're guaranteed at least a B. Show her you work hard and she'll work with you. A's are possible (I made a 90%). She gives extra credit as well.
I have never met her in person, but she truly does everything to make you do great in the course!! Very helpful, and answers you right away to any question. It was my first online class and I was very scared of taking it, but she made it easier. Oh, and I love her extra credits =x Please, take her!
Dr. Shaw is an AMAZING professor. I took this class online. it is NOT an easy class, but she truly wants you to succeed, if it wasn't for her motivating me, I would have withdrew from the class. No textbook required.
Prof Shaw really cares about your grade. More so then any teacher I have had. She may be hard to understand at times but she gives you every chance to succeed. Pay attention and practice and you will learn. It's an Easy A if you try.
Excellent teacher! Good online class. HW is in MML. Midterm and final are in Blackboard. She provides excellent PowerPoints and practice tests on the material. Very clear on due dates. Stay ahead and you will do fantastic in this course. Online textbook is included in MML, no need to buy a separate one. Work is easy with enough time set aside.
Statistics isn't an easy subject to me, but I actually found this course interesting because of prof. Shaw. She's very helpful and communicates well with her students. A lot of work is involved as well as time, but I understood most of the sections because of all the practice/homework we did. Great professor!
Online class you are basically teaching yourself. Questions to the teacher get unuseful pat answers. Lost more than half our class by midterm. Doesn't even read your posts so don't put a lot of work into it, just make sure to put page numbers with your questions.
I took this as a 6 week summer course and it was a challenge. A LOT of work to do. That said, she was very helpful when I had questions and got back to my e-mails very quickly! Be sure to read the textbook thoroughly and you will be fine!
Precalculus Algebra is not an easy course, especially if taken online. That said, Professor Shaw was quick to answer any questions and was very helpful in directing me to the right answers and allowed me to figure stuff out for myself which helped me to retain the info better. She's great!
No professor I have ever had has cared more about my grade than Prof Shaw. Constantly gives extensions for homework on MML. Great lectures and reviews. As a result her test are really easy. If you try and show up you will get an A or B.
Dr.Shaw has to be one of the best teachers I have ever had. She cares and wants you to do well in her class. She answers her emails right away, and will make sure she can help in anyway. I took her for the 8 weeks over summer and still passed.
Stats 2023 is no cake walk by any means but Professor Shaw answered all questions asked right away and was willing to help in any way possible. She really helps you pass the class.
Agatha Shaw might have an accent that is hard to understand in the beginning but her lectures are clear and is very helpful when needed. She gives hw online and tests after each chapter. One of the best math teachers valencia has!
Professor Shaw is one of the most caring professors I've had at Valencia. She loves her students and wants to see them succeed. She helps in any way possible and will not let you fell. I plan on taking her for the rest of my math classes. She has a strong accent but you'll get use to it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.
I took statistics online with Dr. Shaw in a summer 8 week course. She clearly states what is expected, she replies to questions quickly, gives extra credit, and wants you to succeed. The 8 week class is a ton of work compacted but it can be done. I would definitely take her again if I need another math course.
Worts decision that I ever made this class gives so many pointless thing to learn and not many assignments to keep your grade high! The slides are pointless it doesn't help you, too many hw and the test are so different of what you have learned, the midterm and final basically determines if you pass or fail.
I loved her class overall the only thing i really hated was that the exams were 50% of the grade. I had an A in the class but getting an A on the exam was hard so basically your final grade is what you get on your mid term and finals. Got a 85 ON THE FINAL AND BECAUSE OF THAT GOT a B IN THE CLASS :
She is the best teacher at Valencia, she understands that this class is not your whole life and she extends the homework for you. She is honestly the best, even if her handwriting isn't. I love this woman
SHE IS THE BEST PROFESSSOR, SHE EXTENDS YOUR HOMEWORK EVERY TIME I LOVE THIS LADY!!!! TAKE HER CLASS DONT EVEN QUESTION IT, JUST DO IT!! if you get an A on the final, you get an A in the class no matter what you've missed. She is a legend.
Took her online class. She responds to emails quickly and is very flexible and there to help the student you just need to communicate with her. If you do your work and participate in the discussions you will get what you worked for.
lots of hw and discussions, but if you're able to keep up you will definitely pass. No surprises on the exams, its exactly the material that was learned. Homework and quizzes done on Mystatlab so you get multiple chances to get a 100%. Not an easy A, you have to work for it, but i would still recommend! 30 question final, passed the class with a B!
Dr. Shaw really wants you to successfully pass her course, BUT it won't be easy. There's group and class discussion posts that you HAVE to participate in. Towards the end it became ridiculous because it was just adding to a discussion that you really just did to get it over with. I didn't find it to be helpful at all.
First half of semester is rough - about 3 chapters/week. After the midterm (on which I got a low 70%) the workload decreased and became much easier. Weekly: discussion post, homework assignments, quiz, then 1 midterm & a final. Gave extra credit opps and was EXTREMELY helpful in saving my grade - from a C at midterm to an A. Loved her as a profess
Amazing professor! Math is not my forte but she kept me motivated and gave me confidence. There's 2 modules (6 sections) due per week with about 10 problems per section and there's 2 discussions due per week too. This teacher is worth taking if you want someone who responds quick and wants to help you succeed. Offers extra cedit too! TAKE HER!
So much work in so little time. I took this as a flex class and she let us submit a few things late at first and it put be behind the entire semester. I withdrew. I know of another girl that had to withdraw as well. There were two others in my group that were struggling also. Very hard class to take online. She did get back to my emails very fast.
She is incredibly caring and understanding - I had to drop the class due to work/life balance issues, but I plan to take her next semester
She is incredibly understanding and only wants the best for her students. I had several missing assignments throughout the semester, and she let me make up all of them. She encouraged me to finish strong and was available almost all the time to help answer my questions. You do have a lot of work, but she's very understanding if you fall behind.
Ms. Shaw is a very good professor and you can tell she wants you to pass and do well. Which is a good plus because some professors could really care less. She tries her best to make sure you understand. While I think she is a good professor it's kind of hard to understand her while she is teaching sometimes because of her accent. Caring professor.
So far professor Shaw has been awesome. She does not make you do busy work , instead she passes out a work sheet on the topic your learning and goes along and teaches it to you. I'm not the best at math but she's good at explaining stuff. She's also funny and sweet love her !!!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Shaw. She is an wonderful person. She cares so much and it's nearly impossible for you to fail her courses. She's a bit hard to understand at first because of her accent but you get use to it. She is funny and seriously such a great human being. I would recommend and will definitely take her again.
The kindest professor I've ever had! I took the 8-wk fast track course & struggled to meet deadlines, she gave me tons of extensions & wants every student to pass! The hw, quizzes are all on MathLab, best program to break down everything w/ videos & examples. Be prepared for 6-8 sections / wk, PRACTICE, and midterm & final are all multiple choice.
LOTS OF HOMEWORK!!! I took this class online full summer 2017. I'm no stranger to hard work, but I was overwhelmed. She helps some with deadline extensions. There was so much HW due that I'm not sure if I actually learned the material, I was just trying not to drown in it and get it done. Be prepared, especially if you work or take other classes.
Lots of homework, but her syllabus was super clear and detailed. The weekly discussions we're tedious on top of HW but I think they did help me learn the material. She grades quick and gives 2 chances to pass each section quiz.
I LOVE this lady, very kind and cares about you and your education
Professor Shaw was a very understanding professor. If you want to take it online she gives you new modules every week along with quizzes. On top of that, discussions with four questions that you need to respond to. Its a bit overwhelming and you have to dedicate a lot of time to the course however she did extend deadlines and was very helpful
I took Professor Shaw for Intermediate Algebra in the Fall semester. She really wants her students to pass and gives them many opportunities to succeed by extending deadlines and offering assistance. She is very kind and understanding and responds immediatellywhich is truly hard to find in many professors! I would 100% take another course from her!
AMAZING I love her so much she is so sweet and actually cares about her students and is accessible outside of class. It is a lot of homework but definitely worth it and shes one of the few teachers who give the real test EXACTLY like the actual test just amazing first math A I have gotten in a long time no question take her you wont regret it
I absolutely LOVED this class! Not only is professor Shaw a great teacher but shes also a great person, she truly wants everyone to succeed to flying colors. You have to work for the grade you want but she explains things very well and this is the first math class I have ever recieved a B in(usually a C). Take her class!
I can definitely say that the time given was not enough, however, I did take this course in the summer (12 week course). The mid-term and the final are graded very heavily that anything below a B will make your grade go down by a lot. The professor does give good tips and will give a study guide for mid-term and final.
The most sweetest down to earth teacher ever. Has a bit of an accent but is so sweet and helpful always available and will do whatever she can to help. Lots of hw but only to help She is so caring def recommend her. She only wants the best for her students. I suck at math but she made it easy I got an A .Easy going
My class was half hybrid so all the hw, quizzes, and tests were done online. None of it was hard!! She extends everything and anything. There is a discussion every week but not hard. She does not really care about the lab. May not learn a lot but will get an easy A if you do everything before the final. She is HILARIOUS and so caring. Take her!
Probably the best professor at Valencia. I really enjoy her class. Her lectures are amazing and she actually helps you understand the content. She's really kind and patient, too. 10/10. (This is coming from a student whose never been too fond of math)
Professor Shaw's goal is for her students to pass. I took this class online, this class requires a lot of time. Every week there is 3 modules, 1 discussion and 1 10 quest quiz due on mymathlab. Although class is online midterm and final exams are taken in person and you must pass the final to pass the class. Prof gives opportunity for extra credit
One of my best&favorite Prof. She was always willing to help me with all my questions/emails. What I admire is the fact that I would get responses ASAP. That really help&made my learning exp funeresting. The class is very easy IF YOU READ. As someone who failed AP Stat in HS&thought it was hard. I thoroughly enjoyed this class & found it easy.
She is quite honestly one of the best professors I've had at Valencia. She is so kind and easily accessible and more than willing to help you earn your grade!
FOR PRECALC. Well, she barley speaks English. No lectures only power points that is difficult to understand, expect to learn from God.
Theres A LOT of work: 12 modules and one due every week, along with a discussion. She gave us several extensions throughout the semester though. Shes very kind and is always posting reminders and responds to emails VERY QUICKLY (within hours, even on weekends). Good PowerPoints, and the textbook is on MyMathLab. DONT PROCRASTINATE, trust me.
Uses MyStatsLab access code for homework and quizzes, and that's basically gonna be where you teach yourself. A discussion post every week. Lots of material to get through, but it lightens up as you go. As long as you do the homework, it should be easy, just time-consuming.
Im not sure if its because I took this course as a hybrid but I found that a lot of the time I was teaching myself through all the homework she assigns through web assign. However, she does want you to do well. She gives plenty of chances to make up hw if deserving and is there for you if you need any extra help. She's super lenient and caring.
You're an idiot for not taking her class ESPECIALLY if you need the class for credit. Covid-19 in addition to my mother passing from non-covid related illnesses made my summer six-week course a rough time but this woman is so compassionate and gave me extensions. She wants you to succeed. Just communicate with her and you are ok. Good luck to you!
My class was mixed-mode, we only met once a week. Make sure that you finish the homework before lecture day. She goes through the material fairly quick. Take the class as a review for what you already went over in the homework. The professor is really nice and understanding. She wants you to succeed.
She is a good professor. This is an online class so she won't be very involved but she had a lab assistant that did Zoom weekly. There are weekly HW assignments and chapter quizzes. Easy A or B if you just do all of your work. Most of it is on MyMathLab and then discussions and Labs on canvas.
Even though there is a lot of homework and quizzes, this Professor makes learning the material a lot of fun. I definitely recommend anyone to take her.
mgf1106 Prof Shaw is amazing she responds quickly. She's encouraging. Weekly you have to do 4-5 hw's and a quiz/test you get 7 full days to complete and get 2-3 attempts (quiz) to get an 80 or better. for hw, 80 or better no limits. 4 tests total including the final. 8 discussions easy participation points. hw is more than tests. extra credit.
Shes a really good teacher. If you have a busy schedule shell help you and shes very flexible, gives a lot of opportunities including extra credit and she cares a lot. I was going to fail the class because I had some stuff going on, but she never gave up on me and I got an A. I absolutely recommend her!!! One the best teachers I have had.
Took this class online( Year 2021 ) . Dont take it . She respond quickly. But MYMath lab is annoying. Each assignment has a password and you must pass everything with an 80% even the test then ask permission if you can continue to the next Module . And you have to finish it in order , you cant go ahead and skip to finish the other assignment.
There is a lot of note taking but she provides different resources and a lot of extra credit. I had a lot personal issues during this semester and she was so understanding and such an amazing help. She is a real gem of a teacher and long as you do what she asks you to do the class will be so easy
Literally the best she gave a lot of extra credit opportunities that really helped my grade. Definitely a lot of assignments that are time consuming but shes so helpful and answers emails extremely fast. please choose this professor you will not regret it.
/5 She assigns a lot of homework but will open it all up if needed, however, I honestly recommend doing it every week as intended because you get points off for it being late as well as it stacks up. Online class tests are Zoom proctored but exactly what the homework shows. Final cumulative but makes you show work. Lots of cool extra credit.
She's a great person and caring, but this is basically the most work I've ever had to do in a class, did every single assignment and homework averaging a 90% on them, passed every test (above 80%), to end up with an 89.54% and she refuses to round it up. First time getting a B as a final grade in 6 years. Do not recommend.
Do not take her if you have any other options. Seriously. This is the most demanding class I have ever taken and the only class I've had that requires you to pass the final or else you fail. Homework every single day and discussion posts that are insanely extra just to automatically fail if you do badly on one test. You teach yourself. Terrible.
I took this class online in spring 2022. The class is pretty straightforward. Their are about 3-6 homework assignments each week which have 10-20 questions and a 10 question quiz as well as a weekly discussion. The only 2 exams are the midterm and final which are monitored with zoom. If you have any questions Professor Shaw always answers emails.
Greatest math professor at Valencia (for online students at least). She's so kind and accommodating! She offers plenty of extra credit opportunities and is willing to help you get the grade you deserve. 10/10 recommend!
Agatha Shaw is the first professor I have ever wrote a review for on #ratemyprofessor. She was excellent on communication and very helpful and understanding of my situations and very motivating. It is easy to feel consume by doing a math course online and its hard to be discipline and she understands that really well and gives alerts everyday.
I have to say, I had a terrible experience taking this class. To be clear, I have nothing against Dr. Shaw herself. But oh my god does she assign work. If you're willing to go through this class with her, then get ready for a bludgeoning. Discussion posts (in a math class??), 4 assignments and a quiz a week, and a project. A brutal level 1000 class
She is good in the sense you have extra credit opportunities and such, but the amount of homework she gives is ridiculous, if you are willing to spend at least 6hrs a week doing homework go for it.
Easily over 100 questions of homework, discussion, and quiz every week. Learning is done through textbook reading and short PowerPoints. Homework can be redone before the midterm and final. Quizzes have 3 tries too. A lot of work overall for a 1000-level class and not a lot of actual teaching done, but the grading was fair and the teacher is nice.
I had my class with 96% I got in my final 78% and I end with an F because I didn't pass the final, no matter how much effort you put in the whole semester it would not matter if you do not pass with at least a B on the final she put the test the same day as my bio final and she didn't help me to solve my issue I couldn't take my bio final bc of her
The professor is nice, wants her students to succeed, & is good with communication. However, I have never taken a class where the workload is THIS heavy. The amount of time I had to spend each week keeping up with this course is honestly unreal. Proceed with caution with this one...Especially if you are taking other important core classes.
She's so kind and intelligent. Quite a bit of work with at least 2 homeworks, a quiz, and a discussion post every week. I understood the material so it wasn't that bad for me, but if you feel like you will struggle with trigonometry, this class might not be a good option. Overall, she was great and the class was decent!
There's a lot of work to be done, but it's not too bad if you're good at managing your time. You have a weekly lab, reading, discussion post, test and homework! It can be a lot, especially if you have another work heavy class. The material isn't too difficult but it's tiring.
Professor Shaw was so nice and accommodating. All of the course work was online and she offered great resources for doing her extra weekly assignments. She had a great TA who had set zoom hours to help you get an A on all of the homework. She really cares about her students and really wants everyone to get an A in her class! Take her!
Professor Shaw is super nice and the work load is not a lot at all. There's about 5-7 assignments per chapter and there's 8 modules total. She gives about a week for each chapter and each chapter has a quiz. There's a final practice and the final as well.
There is a LOT of homework! Expect to be doing homework nearly every day. Professor Shaw is very nice, but I learned more from the Pearson online platform we submit homework on than her tbh... Also, she uses honorlock and Zoom-proctors exams.
Professor Shaw is the sweetest math professor I have had. She emails you back quickly and cares about her students. Everything is done on MyLab with a few discussions but she does extend the due dates, but try to keep up because it is a lot of assignments but you have a whole week to do them. Take her you won't regret it ( I was an online class).
Super caring teacher right here, emails you back with great feedback and class is organized and she is ready to teach. Her accent and handwriting can be a bit hard to understand but she makes up for it with her great attention to detail. This teacher needs a raise, its not an easy course but she is very helpful indeed!!
She was very nice, but the class did include lots of assignments and does take up a lot of time in the week. She also responded quickly to emails and the quizzes were very similar to the homework assignments.
Professor Shaw is a caring instructor who provides detailed feedback. The class has a heavy workload, but using tools like Unstuck AI can make the prep more manageable. Expect lots of assignments, but the grading is fair if you stay on top of the material.
