Very clear voice. Students MUST ask questions. TONS of quizzes. I used to hate exams, but when you are required to do HW everyday, it’s a piece of cake. Where was she when I was in HS ? :)
Good teacher. Has an in-your-face, cheerful attitude, testing, though I g2 admit: in the end I began to understand what I couldn't in HS. Leads a very fast paced environment. tip: Although only 2 ppl failed summer, she got no problem going over the grades and failing the student on the spot

Knows math very well. Keeps eye contact and has a strong voice. Strict grader.
girl moves very fast. were breezing through the material. quizzes, tests, hw... you name it, she got it. its good she gives hw, or id forget it in 2minutes.
good old fashioned teacher. wish more of the other profs would be like her.
in order to really appreciate her as a professor, she had to miss a few days. OMG, the substitute (fulltimer also, I think) was so bad, that we literally fell asleep to his mumbling. Her teachig is intense, but at least it's clear and to the point. And you know something by the day's end.
Great at explaining complicated things
She rushes through the material. When she is absent u r held resonsible for knowing the work. When u ask her questions about the work it is as if she can't answer them so she ask "is there any student that can explain" shes the worst i should of dropped her like a bad habit.
She is one of the worst professor have ever had in my life. She cant teach if her life depended on it.
she's tough, no question bout it. BUT she forces people to learn. Had 3 whiners in my 1st class, so they dropped. They annoyed the crap out of everybody anyway. She does rush, but I dunno anyone else who can teach so much material in 3 months. And believe me I took quite a few other profs, so I can compare. Best thing: time flies in her class.
She's ok. Has a bit of an accent, but i don't care for it. Leads a tight ship. Contagious smile. i think i got a B in that class, though in all honesty i'm a slacker.
she's a funny, but strict teacher. time management = 5/5. ability to pass on material = 4.5/5 grading = 4/5 after clas availability = 5/5 (e-mail), 3/5 (in-person) vocal cords that would wake ANYONE up middle of the night = 6/5 :)
the woman is a blessing. homeworks collected & checked EVERY class, occasional quizzes, tests... and she's mad funny. and that's being funny while teaching math - hats off. As far as I'm concerned, it should be in the job req. **********************Note: In general, I can't stand math, but I'm glad I got her.
She is a good prof.
I didn't like Math before I went to her class. She is a great teacher but she gives A LOT of homework, quizes every class and has little patience if you don't understand to explain the material again. Overall though, she can teach very well and I learned so much in so little time. She made me like Math again and helped me to pass my exam.
Online course had good amount of hw (summer course). Tests weighed as good amount of your grade. Clarity hard for an online class but explanations were seriously confusing (several students didn't understand certain topics). Exams from practice questions makes it easier.
I liked her class. Unlike some others, she's got a clear agenda, a syllabus that actually makes sense, and she's funny. The bad: her jokes can be mean-She'll crack an occasional, especialy if you miss a HW (hehe), or just complain too much. Yeah, she's a tough cookie, but I feel I earned that B+ fair&square. I wish there were more profs like her.
Fair, and honest. I wish other profs just observe her or something-she doesn't waste 1 minute, everyone is always doing something. And G-d help you if you fall asleep or if she catches you loose concentration - she'll be on your tail till end of the semester. Be prepared to take many quizzes and tests, but soon it becomes a routine and even fun(?).
A lot of homework. If you don't like math don't take it on line. It can be very hard.
There's homework everyday, a quiz every other week, and you're kept busy for the majority of the class (plus, you need to bring your textbook into class every other day, which can be a pain, depending on the person). She expects a lot, but in the end, you learn something.
Stay away from this professor online class. This class should not be taught online. Very difficult class and impossible to explain online. Gives a lot of homework and quizzes. Very hard. Do not take her.
she was the worst
This class can be difficult to take online but I have never encountered a professor that will take time from their personal schedule to meet with you and explain the work. She is extremely helpful. If you decide to take this course online, don't wait until the last minute for help go see her in her office. She is extremely helpful.
A good, real teacher. You can see that she likes to teach, while others barely tolerate student presence. I dunno about everybody else, but I liked her. Yeah she's hard, but she's also fair - the online class is very similiar to the book (boring), but if you come to see her personally, she is VERY helpful. I'd recommend her.
I LOVE HER!!! SHE IS THE BEST. SHE HELPS WITH NOT JUST PASSING HER CLASS AND EXAMS, BUT ALSO PREPARES YOU VERY WELL FOR THE NEXT CLASS. THE PROFESSOR IN MY NEXT CLASS WAS IMPRESSED WITH WHAT I KNEW, HE ASKED ME WHO WAS MY LAST PROFESSOR. PROUDLY I TOLD HIM. HE DIDN'T SEEM SUPRISED THOUGH - GUESS I AINT THE FIRST ;). MRS MORGULIS IS THE BEST !!!
Good prof. strict but well organized, if U don't pass it mean you didn't care, she helps everybody pass
SUMMER ONLINE CLASS: here's the thing...DO NOT take the online class if Math tends to be a hard subject for you. I should have taken a regular class. I thought online would be easier. However, She is an excellent professor, explains things crystal clear. In an online class, you HAVE to go to her. She is very understanding and loves teaching.
very good prof, but you have to do EVERYTHING on time - very intensive. i definitely agree with whoever said that her in-person classes are much more beneficial. in my case however, i had no choice and had to take the class online - no regrets though...
SHE IS A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR.SHE CAN BE STRICT AT TIME BUT SHES VERY GOOD.SHE LIKE FOR YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS LOTS OF THEM IF NOT SHE WILL CALL YOU OUT!!!YOU WILL HAVE HW EVERYDAY AND LOTS OF QUIZZES PLENTY OF THEM!!!GRRR I HATED THAT BUT IN THE END IT ALL PAYED OFF.SHE LOVES LWHAT SHE DO ALOT OF PRO. NEED TO BE LIKE HER=]
very nice teaching skills
I took it online, She does answer all questions on her own time, I did not like her quizes because the questions were not similar to the book... If you are taking stat you should be more focused on the book you will by,,,, go to the library and get STEP BY STEP approach and borrow it for the whole semester.... that was the book that got me a B+
Giveeveryone what they deserve I say,and the woman knows her stuff....but on the other hand there is nothing but being bias in the claculus class. I mean seriously if you're not a math major DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS, majority of the material she teaches is unnecessary and irrelavent if you're not pursuing a career in math!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took her 2 semesters ago: very thorough and caring professor. Definitely no boring classes with her, but not monotonous either (quite a few laughs actually). Demands a LOT, but I remember most of the stuff I learned with her till this day. And my major was not even math ;)
VERY WELL MANNERED AND HELPFUL PROFESSOR.HW COMPULSORY,QUIZ EVERY CLASS AND HARD TESTS.YOU LEARN A LOT.SHE MAKES SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THE MATERIAL.BE PREPARED FOR A CHALLENGING CLASS.
Excellent professor. Extremely caring and helpful.
I cannot praise her enough. wonderful caring teacher. gives a lot of HW but that pays off in the end. quiz everyday. strict grader but she will work with you after class if you need help. strict on absents/lateness. she is the best math professor i have ever had!!!
took it in summer online, intense class, a lot of work, but she made it clear, especially if you come to see her in person before the exams. She is very helpful and understanding
I also took her summer class: thought this was going to be a breeze, but this was a serious wake up call: no less than 3 hours (!) of DAILY study. There's just WAAAAY to much material to cover in too little time, though truth be told the professor was available (some replies are within minutes) and made it clear (recommend to see her before exam).
This professor is the worst, everyone on here is lying to people. She gives hard quizzes every class, her test are even harder. She expects you to already know half of the material, she will not explain anything if you don't ask her. If you are not a math major don't take this class she teaches a lot of useless math problems that does not help.
cares about her students and always ready to help. i would recommend her, but be prepared to learn and work hard!
STOP, find another teacher she is the worst. You will fail, half the kids dropped the class i should have to. she can care less about you. math majors apply because you are the only ones that will pass this ladies class and i am serious. If your math skills are not strong don't waste your time you will just screw up your GPA i warned you. =[
if you have weak math skills take someone else Its not great when all of her homework eats into your other classes her test are marathons you only have an hour to do it. 10 questions sounds simple with 4-5 parts to each question so its really 35 40 problems in an hour, and its ridiculously hard i know its college but believe me take another teacher
Save your self the headache and find another teacher. So much homework it makes you hate math, her test are really and i mean really hard. Math majors should not have a problem with this class but if your not a math major find another teacher the work she gives she expects you to know already.Be careful, she smiles with you and fails you in the end
LOVED HER !!!! I'm working as an Actuary right now (started with 60K and hoping for a raise by Q3 2010) because of her mentoring and guidance 2 years ago. She helped me pick this path & I, who hated math before, will forever be greatful. Other prof "discuss" how not to be afraid of math; she drills u until you learn HOW to learn ON YOUR OWN.
To all the morons that say don't listen to the negative comments on this page. First of all, if your taking math 051 don't speak its elementary math that's right elementary math so its easy. The mere fact that your in elementary math is because your slow.=] oh by the way for people taking real math trust me on this one find another teacher.=]
Little confusing on exams... Expect a quiz EVERY class
I had her and I know students who have her still. When I say that she is the worst its the truth. My former class with her is empty really empty. Its freaking unbelievable how everyone on this site praises her like she is the best math teacher around. Her friends are writing the good comments. Trust me take a night class if there is nothing left.
i always had trouble with math before taking this class and hated it with a passion, but she is really disciplined (lot of hw and quiz everyday) so it forces you to practice. and what do you know? if you practice you will excel. i love math now thanks to her.
real old school: speed-quizzing, HW checked daily, tests... I challenged the final grade, and on the spot she went over my grades/compared them with syllabus: it barely added up to B. I still feel like I deserved an A for all the effort I put. Word of advise: keep checking on how you're doing before the last date to get W. If C or worse, drop it.
To the third comment below my, this professor has open door to certain students not all. her answer would be go to tutoring. Matter of fact she told one of the students to drop the class, she wasnt young but still was very bright. it was a waste of my time. she graded my scrap paper. who does that? I advise people to pick another professor.
if you really want to learn math, this professor is for you. She is very strict, gives quizes every day, but in the end you will know this stuff...she is fair, and the classes are somehwat even fun, truly cares about her students. i would recommend her.
She's LAZY. She doesn't teach. she forces the students to learn by way of online h.w. assignments or the expensive yet useless textbook. she does everything too fast and will make you feel stupid if you dont understand. The only way anyone could pass this class is if they have no life, practice ON THEIR OWN 24/7 and happen to be her favorites. bad.
if you're a good student, you shouldn't listen to half of these comments on this website. she's a good professor and it's up to you to work hard outside of class to EARN your grade. some of you will be in for a rude awakening when you transfer to a 4 year college.
Don't bother she is that worst does everything too fast n givEs a quiz everyday please don't take u will regret it
Do NOT TAKE HER!!! SHE IS THE WORST YOU WILL REGRET IT TRUST ME. SHE DOES QUIZZES EVERYDAY AND THE WAY SHE TEACHES SHE DOSENT STICK TO ONE METHOD AND WHAT SHE TEACHES IN CLASS IS NOT IN THE HOMEWORK AND DONT BOTHER ASKING HER SHE WILL GIVE YOU AN ATTITUDE
She prepared us for the final by giving us more challenging quizzes everyday and pushing us a little further than final exam preporation. When the day came to write the final I finished in 30 min and got an A. As long as you respect her she will do whatever it takes to help you pass. I'm well prepared for MAT206, half the curriculim has been taught
She is good professor but teaches fast and spends too much in quizzes, homework and gives tons of homework that you do not have time for anything else. You need to go to Math Lab otherwise you do not pass it. She is now horrible but she is hard. You need to follow her if you want to pass We started 23 or more and we are 11 right now final next week
Do not take this lady class, unless ur really good at math and can get most of the work done yourself, other than that she is difficult to have as a professor for a whole semester. Her lessons arent clear and she focuses more on quizzes and homeworks smfh
Old school tough professor. She gives a LOT of H/W every day, which she collects every moring before a dayly quiz. Her explanations are very clear and she encourages students to ask questions. The material she taught was a little bit more advanced but it helps a lot if you are taking MAT206. Then it felt overwelming but I am very thankful now!
I advise against this one unless you are willing to work extra hard for no real reason. Excessive homework, anywhere from 30-50 questions per class. Speed quizzes at the start of every class, 5 minutes to do questions that require a lot of time. A bit condescending. A nice teacher though, but she makes the class much, much harder than it should be.
She gives excessive homework plus web assign homework. She gives quizzes every class before beginning a lesson. She waste too much time going over quizzes and any homework questions. She makes math seem so difficult when they're easier methods to get it done. Overall I didn't like her teaching techniques.
WOW. Should've read these reviews before applying to her online class. She is officially the WORST TEACHER EVER to teach Statistics. She gives excessive HW's which are Not on the Exams. She does give a lot of quizzes. Doesn't help AT ALL with any confusions. She is disorganized and doesn't grade HW"s - so you're on your own Pal
OMG!! She is so disorganized,it's loads of quizzes with questions not even based on the same chapter all done on Blackboard where even if your answers are correct, you may get it wrong. Stay away if you know whats good for you. Only stress comes with this class, the subject is simple but this course turns statistics into rocket science.
Extremely ignorant and horrible Professor. In the beginning no one knew what to do in her online class and she takes forever to answer emails I made the wrong choice choosing this course don't make the same
Avoid this professor. I am telling yu no matter how hard you're trying you'll get nothing. Don't make this to your gpa
worst math teacher i have ever had. I really love math and the challenge and she made me hate it! since she didn't go to school in the US, her methods of teaching are completely different and even harder than some simpler ways i've been shown in hs. She is rude and makes it clear if she dislikes you. She does not care about her students at all!
She's good with clarifying a problem on homework. as long as everyone wants to go over it. She doesn't always check to see if the homework is done right. She missed at least 8 class during the semester. She doesn't like to review the material or explain herself more than once after the topic is finished. She gives at least 60- 80 problems a night.
The worst professor I ever had for any math class. All she does is go over hw over 90% of the time of the class and the rest is about 10-20 minutes on a subject thats it. She also misses way too many classes which makes it even harder to understand math. DO NOT take her classes
She's very hard on students, gives tons of homework and says it's due the next day. Always give pop quizzes and goes very fast with teaching. If you don't understand and you ask for help she would get upset and gives advice "you shouldn't be in this class if you don't know this"
Dont bother, she doesnt double check the online hw only lets the bb grade be as it is. She whack b
Whenever you type in the answers for your homework, be aware that you will not get full credit if you type in your own as it does not count as the right answer. To get full credit for the answer, you have to type what she answer exactly which is unfair. As this is a writing intensive course, she does not grade them as I am still curious on my grade
Great professor! A bit strict but really wants her students to do well. She always was available during office hours and before class. She gives tons of homework but it is really beneficial especially if you are not really good in math. I took this course 2x prior and failed but as soon as I took this course with her I passed!!
I had Prof Morgulis for my online summer class and I this class was more work than I expected. Although she gives alot of homework and a quiz after every chapter she doesn't count it heavily towards your grade as long as you complete and submit it on time. The thing that mostly determines your grade in the class is the midterm and final.
This was an online class and i suggest you look pass this professor if you thought you were gong to save time taking this class online. tons of homework tons of assignments tons of test must teach yourself tough grader just very diffcult
She is tough but if you want to learn you should take her class
she has a clear grading ! yes for online class she does give a lot HW but It is online class so its expected ... as long HW complete on time you get full credit . The thing that matters most is midterm and final hoenstly ! She also make herself available Just email her she will email back or if you need to skype her She WiLL just to help you.
Far and away the WORST professor ever. For an online class over the summer and crammed into 4 weeks, timing is everything. She "lost" emails was an inflexible grader, and her comments were about as unhelpful as could be, while maintaining this fake facade that she was there for support. Total disgrace to the teaching profession. Steer clear of her
took her stat online class, not easy, a lot of work, but you will know this stuff and get a good grade if you do the minimum she requires. she was available for skype meetings with students individually, really cares if you understand the material, went over all my midterm mistakes, I got A- in her class. would recommend
You will do approximately 30 to 40 homework in 2days. Please don't take this professor.
Worst teacher i've had so far at BMCC..I do not recommend her! Had to retake Math 12 and had a way better teacher that made me understand the work way better than she did.
Worst professor ever! Have to retake math cause of her. She does not guide you through the work, she expects you to take pictures and send it to her and above all she gives you 3 chapters and 50 questions based on those chapters and they are due at the end of the week. If you actually want to exceed and do good. Stay away from her!!!
horrible professor! I have taken many online classes and the way her class was formatted was terrible. She makes you answer questions and then email her a written copy. And the work load of the class is just way to much especially that I have work and other classes. I understand its a summer class but she is not realistic at all.
Alla Morgulis is the absolute worst math professor. She has been getting terrible ratings since 2013, and nothing has changed. My entire class feels the same way as me. She talks way too fast, is very negative, does not care for her students, and does not know how to teach at all. You can see my review and ignore it, but youll regret it later.
Please don't take class with her. She disappears before the Final Exam and then after she summits your final grade you have no idea why she grades so low because she doesn't bother to respond to her emails.
Not an easy professor at all, strict Russian style. She will give a lot of homework. On the other hand, you can pass it even if you don't do so well, just how your work, and don't cheat, she's gonna be supportive and give you a good grade. If you like Math just take her, but if you are lazy and hate Math, you should avoid her.
Stubborn.. Is not willing to listen. Overcomplicates easy topics. I do not recommend taking this class even if you know the topics she goes over.
Just dont take her class!
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! SHE WILL NEVER LISTEN TO YOU. SHE'S NOT FAIR WITH EXAMS/QUIZZES TIME LIMIT. GIVES 3 HOMEWORKS WEEKLY BUT NOT ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETE IT. Makes things overcomplicated. Is not a fair grader. Her teaching method is just confusing.
I do not prefer anyone to take her class. The way she teaches this course you will receive no support, emails, instruction beyond the syllabus. This was my worst professor so far. She seems like she just doesn't care about her students.
I am a current student is her MAT150 course and I can honestly say she's great. yes we do have an overload of homework due in not so much of a timely fashion but she gives second chances. she's also very big on communication and making sure you understand the work.
Do not take this woman unless you are ready to teach yourself statistics. Countless emails unanswered, ridiculed for not understanding something on the first go, the list goes on. Would hardly call her a teacher, all she did was post pages to read from text book and then assigns HW from said textbook. NO lecture, NO personal communication, NOTHING.
LITERALLY THE WORST TEACHER YOU COULD TAKE. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. YOU WILL TEACH YOURSELF EVERYTHING AND SHE IGNORES YOU IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS.
This is a very hard class.
I do not recommend her class. Lots of homework plus notes to keep for each assignment. The book is very expensive and all of its answers match those of Chegg. The criterion by which she puts grade is not clear.
This was BY FAR the worst experience I've ever had with a professor. I wish I read the reviews prior to taking her class. I beg anyone who has to take MAT 150 PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HER. I can't go into detail of how bad this professor is. She is like a robot and she doesn't care about her students passing or failing. Literally the worst professor.
DO NOT REGISTER FOR HER CLASS IF THIS IS YOUR LAST SEMESTER!!!! She is very unsupportive to her students and actually recommends them to drop the class instead of actually trying to help students pass her classwork. This was supposed to be my last year at BMCC and I have to retake this course because of her. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
Hardest class and Professor.
Stressed.
Prof. Morgulis is a very professional and extravagant woman. Math is her gift. I leaned a lot from her class.
I meant to say exquisite ** not extravagant on the last review !!
Insane amount of homework. No lectures, no other sources, only textbook, homework and quizzes. Be prepared to do calculations by hand, scan all hw and tests, convert to pdf and email it once a few month. One week we had to do hw, quiz, midterm review test, midterm itself and scan all hw we did for 2 month.All in 1 week! Awful. Do not recommend
Horrible professor with the worse communication .If you ask for help she just suggests you drop the course and retake it. She takes her time to respond to emails and does not hear you out. Please just don't take any course with her
Never take this professor. Never responded to any of my emails regarding my midterms and my finals and she just graded me an F. Now I can't drop her class which will ruin my transcript. If you are looking to choose this professor, this is your SIGN to not do it and take any other class but this. This is a for sure F!
You pretty much teach yourself the material. All of the assignments say read to understand but if you don't understand shes not there to help. She has homework and tests due on the same day which she only posts the day before it's due. Hw takes hours to complete because there's so much. Doesn't answer emails.
Currently taking this class. This professor will make you hate math with a passion. Midterm questions, midterm test, papers, quiz, homework scans, and homework all due the same week. She uploads material late into the week and does not respond to emails at all. Barely grades anything so your grade at the end of the semester will come as surprise.
A ridiculous amount of homework per week, "mandatory" weekly meetings for an asynchronous class. If you're not a math major avoid this one.
Fall 2024 - Drop this class b/c I took the Async class; Should mean no Zoom Meetings! Sadly, not for her class. 1st HW: Read 10 pgs & 20 HW questions & 43 quiz questions (20 from HW). All Calculations from the week are due via email weekly. Assignments due every 2 days make it tough. Sucks at Email replies too. #StayAway #NotFullTimeFriendly
Professor Morgulis was always respectful and created a positive learning environment. Professor was always available to help students when needed. I would definitely recommend her.
Tough class with a heavy workload - lots of homework, quizzes, and exams all due in the same week. Professor Morgulis doesn't respond to emails and can be difficult to reach. However, I found unstuck study helpful for preparing and studying. Overall, a challenging but manageable class.
The brightspace page is a mess, assigment due dates are unclear, inconsistent. Her excuse is "go by the syllabus". Bc it makes so much sense for me to keep checking a pdf instead of just listing it on the assigment... And the way she does HW is ridiculous. I spend as much time tracking down the questions as doing them. She can't handle brightspace.
Avoid this class if you want a fair learning experience.The workload is excessivewith constant homework, quizzes, and mandatory meetings in the same week.The professor is rude, unhelpful, and dismissive, ignoring emails and discouraging outside help. She talks down to students and constantly tells them to drop the class instead of offering support.
Steer clear of this class if you want a fair experience. The workload is heavy with constant assignments, quizzes, and mandatory meetings (the class is supposed to be an asynchronous class). The professor is dismissive, ignores emails, discourages outside help, and often tells students to drop the class instead of offering support.
Seriously, avoid taking this class with this professor if you can. I only registered because it was the last option available. The homework assignments are long, she rarely responds to emails, and you're expected to take pictures of everything and upload them with just a one-day notice.
Only take this class if you want to spend hours every week completing assignments. She assigns too much work and doesn't give enough time to complete them. During midterm week, she assigned a midterm review, homework, quiz and writing assignment to be due all in the same week. Sometimes she upload the assignments late and make it due the next day.
terrible. just please don't take her class. two 40 question hws weekly and then 4 tests with 7 quizzes. forces you to meet up with her every week and then might even quiz you on the work. heartless b****
A lot of homework, but the professor is available and caring.
