Fun teacher, a bit late sometimes, but you learn a lot. She's lots of fun for a new teacher and if you don't understand something, she will review it again with you. test at the end of each chapter (easy if you paid attention) and mastery quizzes throughout chapter (easy)

The class is one where you MUST do the work to get the grade you desire. No sugar coating, the homework is a MUST. The only complaint I have is that the lectures are incredibly fast and she tends to go off subject for long periods of time but she is incredibly informative and smart. However, that being said she is fair at grading.

Best math teacher I have ever had! Best class structure EVER: No homework. Your grade is the tests (There are like 7 or 8 but the lowest test grade is dropped, and 2 tests are take-home). All I did was go to class, make sure I understood the material before showing for a test by using the book's practice problems and EASY A! (not to mention EC)

Let me just say math is a nightmare for me no matter what I just can't get it, but with Kincade that was not the case. I loved her teaching style she explains everything and answers your questions. She makes math easier to understand. You can use index cards on her test and finals. Hw is optinal and there are test reviews. Wish she taught pre calc

Walk into class on the first day and Professor Kincade says this is my first time teaching Calculus I so, we will just plan everything as we go. What? One thing you do not say to students and then and there I found out I made a big mistake choosing her to teach me Calculus I. After the fourth test in students started to drop like flies.

Professor Kincade is an excellent math professor,I honestly hated math before taking her. Her lectures are very informative and she allows an index card of notes for each exam. She drops the lowest test grade, so that is awesome. You must show work on tests to receive credit, but if you get it wrong you can get half credit for showing your work!!

In the beginning she seems like she's going to be great with her long lectures that are pretty detailed but as the course goes on she starts to give less details, rushes through lessons, and crams unprepared tests.

Prof Kincade, is phenomenal! She is sweet, intelligent, and has a funny side. I love her Happy Monday, Happy Tuesday. etc I learned a lot from her, and also enjoyed her class even if it was a 2 hours long and met Mon-Thur. She is very efficient in her lectures. 6 Exams, Drops lowest one, Can use 1 note card on exam, fair grader, and give EC!

Stay away from this class. She's a good person but as a teacher not so good, she will try to explain how to solve a problem but will get sidetracked easily and won't explain nothing. She only grade the test which are super hard and nothing of what she teach appear in the test, even the study guy is different from the test (not useful at all)

She is a very nice person, but she is very hard to get a hold of outside of class, you can leave multiple messages or voicemails and she won't get back to you. She has a different way of teaching math, she really only goes over the content, she does not give you any time to practice in class. She just shows you how to do it and expects you to learn

Good professor. Explains and goes over material as well as lets you practice in class. Practice and do the review she puts up. Might not be exact but is 60-70% similar to the test since they are all from the same generator. Goes over the test before the exam and tells you whats on it so you study for it. Very fair grader.

She is an awesome teacher and I learned a lot from her. She gives you positive feedback. If unable to understand a problem she will go over it in class and show you a different way. She also gives extra credit for showing your work and getting the answer. Grades don't get posted until the end of course but she'll show you how to figure it out.

If you have a ALG 1&2 + Pre-Calc background from HS, you will be just fine in her class. Tests easy because she tells you what kind of questions there are ahead of time. She's chill if ur late

I had to drop out of this class because I was studying 10+ hours a week and still getting high Ds at best. Almost failed all my other classes because there was no time in between the piles of homework and the frequent tests. This class kind of ruined my GPA, and the prof. is partly to blame. Way too hard.

She's not bad, but you have to study hard for it as in general calc is not an easy class. Durable as long as you try your best by doing all of the assigned work and do the 30 extra bonus point assignments which is consisted of 15 Zoom note assignments that can help with passing the class. Be aware of the grading as she can grade in a bit picky way.

Professor Kincade is a gem, a rare math professor who thinks deeply about how to best teach the material.

Extensive recorded lectures and organized notes. Worksheets prepare you well for the exams. Workload is not too high relative to previous math classes. However, in-class lectures don't go into too much depth and have low information density. Attendance is not mandatory so find what works best for you.

She is amazing. At first, Canvas is a little confusing, but once you get it, everything feels simple. Zoom meetings 2x a week, and recordings are available. There is a lot of work. She cares about you understanding the process, not just the answer. No Honorlock. I learned so much and feel ready for Calc 2. She is very caring and sweet.
