These people must have had a different prof... the problem is she spends the entire class writing her notes nicely on the board for you to copy while trying to understand the material. You need to triple task because you have to listen to the explanations, copy down the notes, and answer questions. She made the lecture very stressful.

She only writes notes on the board and you are expected understand the lecture, listen and write down the notes all at the same time. She doesn't put up anything on moodle asides exercise problems. Her exams are a lot harder than what she teaches in class. She is also a very tough marker.

I signed up for this prof based on the favourable reviews on this site. Makes me wonder about the credibility of this site. This prof was lousy. I suggest you ask previous students and don't rely on this site. This site only accepts good reviews. You've been warned!

Gives very irrelevant and difficult test questions, and does not give solutions to exercise problems posted, so you don't know how she wants you to solve the problem. She does not post lecture notes online, so you must make sure to attend class or you will fall behind fast. Her tests include material not covered in lectures or exercise problems.

People say she's harsh and a difficult grader, might as well just say she's screwing students over. No bell curve, nothing whatsoever. If she's trying to look more intelligent by having low class averages at the expense of her students, it's not working.

she is a very difficult person to deal with. She doesn't want to help

A silent Prof without her notes!!!!

Good things first, she makes herself clear with respect to the material and requirements. However, she is full of herself and looks down her nose. Makes you embarrassed to ask questions, puts you on the spot and humiliates you. Just disrespectful and condescending full of attitude. Not approachable. All in all, greatly disappointed.

Examples she gives in class are nothing like what questions you get on the exams. She is extremely rude if you ask a genuine question. Hands down the worst prof I have taken in all 4 years of being at York (yes, i decided to take math 1505 my last year of york lol). AVOID AT ALLLLLL COSTS.

She demands to be respected and when you ask her a question she starts laughing or smiling even if it is right or wrong. Like why would you laugh even if it is wrong, arent you there to help us? Does not share her notes so it is hard to get them unless u follow from the textbook. Thank God I dropped this class for 1510, I will retry it again.

very rude

She sucks !! Do not ever ever ever take this course with her. She expects students to already know the material cause its a first year course (expects them to be right out of highschool) i am not a math major but i needed math credits and when i asked her a question she gave me a dirty look as if i should already know it. Class average was 37%!!!!!

Very condescending prof, I dont know where they got her from. Doesn't let anyone leave early, always on time or she will call you out. Someone's phone rang my accident and she got very mad.

Clearly the person at the bottom is lying as 6 people disagree. If you guys don't listen then that's on you. She's extremely rude and ridicules others.

All the tests and exams are webassign questions. Webassign is not even considered for marks , I couldn't afford webassign, it's bad enough I was paying for everything else. She bases your whole mark on test and exams. Beware no bell curve with her or extra assignment. Theres no way she'll give you free marks like other profs do with surveys

Webassign just condenses textbook questions to specific ones. Amenda's whack for not giving out assignments to boost your mark, everything is riding on your tests and exams. She's better than the other profs but she expects everyone to just know the content that she explains vaguly. Math is already hard and the profs make it harder

All her notes were nothing that was on the midterm. You could literally skip her class and just do web assign and that will be the midterm/exam. I had to watch YouTube videos to learn how to do things. Someone asked her a question and she told them "thats a bad question. any good questions?" so rude.

Amenda is one of the rudest, worst, and most uncaring professors I have ever had. During the COVID-19 pandemic she doesn't have the care in the world to have a zoom lecture or session where she can help the students as there's no more in class sessions. She also doesn't have the audacity to bell curve marks with her 45% class average. Useless.

Amenda is one of the worst professors I have had. All she does is care about taking the students money and making them retake the course again. She doesn't care about helping the students to get a better mark rather she just wants to take your money and set you up for failure. Craziest thing is she's making the students take an oral exam for MATH.

worst. professor. ever. rude. uncaring. set up for failure

Lecture HEAVY, seems very nice and approachable but is a very rude person. For instance, once in class a classmate of mine had a question relating to the math topic and her question had been basically answered before but I guess she wasn't paying attention or understood, and the prof says, "Okay guys, that was a very bad question lets move on".

She is the worst professor I have ever had, she is rude and does not care about her students at all. if you have the option of taking literally any other professor, I suggest you do that. She lacks common sensitivity and explains concepts so vaguely and unclear.

Very rude. She will only set you to failure. I will NEVER recommend anyone to take her course. Trust me, It is better to pick someone rather than taking her course and failing/getting a low grade. She is VERY RUDE. I will NEVER take her course, ever again. Trust me when I say this. Worse prof ever.

She is very rude, and she does not care about student's efforts. She just assumes everyone is copying each other or solutions from the Internet. Every time, I explain what I am trying to solve the question by myself, she just told me to contact the math office to have exploratory meeting. She wants all her students fail the class. Worst professor.

She has laughed multiple times at some of my questions during her office hours and is in general very rude and condescending.

She is very rude and does not care about how her students feeling. She thinks everyone copies the solution from the Internet. The WORST professor I have met

Probably the worst prof I've had so far at York. She suspected half the class of cheating on assignments even though they did not and she seems to be more concerned about catching "cheaters" on every chance rather than assign TAs that grade effectively and fairly. Do not take her if you have a choice not to.

She is a VERY RUDE professor I have EVER had. I will NEVER suggest anyone taking her courses ever again. Most of her emails are straight-out rude and her replies too. I would say, she must learn how to talk with students and she's a worst for teaching. Assignments are marked zero without reason. She doesn't even care about students AT ALL.

she is very rude. She wants students to solve the problem in the way she learns it from Alberta. If you don't follow it , she will assume you copy from the internet. Attend her class is most effective way

She's the rudest professor I've had, very unapproachable, and calls students out for having "bad questions". Her exams are very different from what is taught in class, I would give her a lower rating if I could, avoid her at all costs.

Shes not even teaching this semester for math 1300 so why did York make students sign up to be in her class when we would have been thrown into the sections with Juris? This is pretty unfair, her quizzes made are much better than the content but dont match with the level the assignments are given. I dropped, could have saved money if I knew

She's awful. Probably the worst professor in the math department. Lecture videos take too long to finish, TAs just assume you cheat on assignments even though you never cheated and she's a very rude prof. She really needs to learn how to talk to students. Please avoid her if possible.

avoid this prof at all costs , one of the worst experiences of math I've ever had and will deduct marks for doing work in a way that's not hers. please choose any other section

BEWARE!!!! I wish I had good things to say. I want to believe she has good intentions but it is becoming harder and harder to believe. She doesn't even grade the whole assignment. Save your money please.

I was always distressed about the grades of the assignments because they're designed to make you fail. She randomly chooses few selective questions to grade the entire assignment and skips the other ones. If you've answered 6 questions correctlyin a total of 10but failed to provide the perfect answer on the other 4, you're guaranteed to fail.

I thought this course would be very similar to 1300 in the sense that it would be challenging myself to some degree but 1310 with Amenda Chow has been way far beyond what I thought the homework assignments would have been in terms of difficulty. The quizzes were okay but how the homework and quizzes were weighed it's very difficult to pass.

The worst prof ever at York. She only corrects about 4 questions out of about 10 to 12 questions, so if you did bad on those 4 questions, you are set to fail the assignments. Also, if your answer is correct but your solution is not how Amenda does her solution, you are set to fail the question and barely get any points. Please save your money.

Good luck to those who took it.

She is too pleased with herself Garbage Professor

Her lectures and assignment are totally different and unrelated. No professor ask student to complete all question in assignment and say "only a subset of questions will be marked" like wtf. Worst professor at 1000 level math course. She ruined every student career who wants to take math major. Terrible.

Her recorded lectures are good. But she has no empathy, she does not care about students, she thinks students are machines. Humaneness = 0 AVOID HER!!! So many students dropped the course, only handful left, and not sure if everyone will pass. U need to spend days trying to figure out how to attempt assignments

Avoid this professor AT ALL COSTS! To get a high mark you need to dedicate extensive amounts of time and effort. The risk and return is not worth it, you can spend your time on things more beneficial to your career.

The rudest and most conceited professor. Outwardly rude to and does not care about students. Difficult to approach, judges students' questions and often refuses to answer/ignores students. Gets annoyed when asked for clarification. Teaches material way too fast, expects students to grasp concepts immediately. Avoid if you respect yourself.

Terrible professor, had her in my first year. She incorrectly identified me of academic dishonesty, and even after our meeting, she did not give me the marks I deserved. Feeling pressured that she may continue this wrongful accusation to the department, I had to drop the course. AVOID.

If you do not have a math/engineering background, do not take her. She expects you to know a lot of information and makes things unnecessarily difficult. Her exam is worth a lot and she does not record lectures. Most of the time you are writing her notes instead of understanding the math. She does not share the slides either

If you don't have any background in calculus, DO NOT TAKE HER! She does not provide any notes after the lecture, no examples during class, her midterm and exam was a disaster. Once again, please don't make the same mistake I did. I recommend switching.
