she is an excellent teacher. She knows what shes talking about and always wiilling to help.. even if shes gone over it 50 times. She gives a lot of bonus points for nothing. take her. highly recommended
She does not know what she is talking about, she does not know how to add or subtract! She messes up on 15+37! If she messes up on the board she erases it and says "OOPS" and starts back where she was and does not even try to talk you through where she messed up! Don't take her!
She cries almost every class. It is bizarre. I wouldn't recommend her if you are new to university life - she may freak you out too much. Otherwise she's pretty nice - when she isn't crying.
Gives EXCELLENT notes!
She cried every class?! Ms. Ramnarine is an excellent teacher!!!! Make sure you go to class and you'll be just fine!
teaches kinda fast, but is still able to be understood. willing to work w/ you. overall 7 out of 10.
whatever, she sucks!! i took her fall semester and got a C. and then in the new semester, she emails me and says i got a D and need to take the class over again the day that classes closed! so i was in the math dept. trying to get in her class 20 min. before the deadline! i had tracy poole for math but had to go back to her. DO NOT take her class!!
Not my favorite teacher, her class isn't hard though. She does give ALOT of extra credit throughout the semester, go to class to get it. Her notes are sooo freakin long! However, when study they are helpful. I don't know what people are talking about when they say she cries in class... maybe that semester she was going through some stuff, she never
She is a great teacher
I had to go to CSTCC this summer because her class was so bad. But hey, I got a B to replace the F from her! She couldn't teach the material. So many in my class failed. It was just horrible. Tests were nothing like the homework or Projects.
I think she is a good instructor. She explains the material well with detailed notes and she seemed willing to answer and help students even after class.
good teacher
Unless this is the last prof to take, DO NOT TAKE HER. She is unclear and does not explain anything. Her classes do not get you prepared for the tests, and she will not excuse you even if you are in the hospital with mono. She writes pages on the board and then walks out. BEWARE UNLESS YOU LIKE FAILING CLASSES!!
Cool teacher. Can convince her to move quizzes easily. Dismisses class early all the time. Let's you do hw during class and turn it in at the end. Very helpful.
She is a very good teacher and very easy. I had her for math 106 and passed with an A. She made math a breeze and always willing to help. She gave us a lot of help on our projects and homework. The way she allows you complete your homework and assignments, there is no reason for anyone to fail her class.
She is a great teacher. I suck at math and I'm passing with an A. She goes over the lesson clearly and if you still don't get it she's more than happy to help. Definitely take her for an easy A.
easy A most def. she does right PAGES of notes on the board.. they may be extremely annoying at the moment (oh they are) but they help SOOOO much when the test rolls around and you can refer to them. take her!! excellent professor. no one failed in my class so thats also an incentive!
Excellent teacher. Took good care with her students. Really cared!!
Of all the math teacher I've had in high school and in college I think that she was the most dedicated to her job. She was always willing to answer questions and explained the material in various ways so that if we didn't understand it one way we would hopefully understand it another way.
Ramnarine is sooo good! She's super easy. She gives you print out of notes and you just go through and fill them out as a class. No homework, except eduspace.com things, which can be time consuming, but not hard at all. Go to class to stay caught up on all the notes. Do the online homework and definitely the reviews online and you'll do just fine.
Great math teacher! She is very clear, and she know what she is talking about. She cares about the students and their grades. The notes are already typed out, so all you have to do is fill in the blank.
I loved her!! I would recommend her to anyone!!! She is understanding and cares about her students doing well and is very helpful! Take her!
She gives way too much homework! Talks so much, I get confused. Not very helpful. MOVES WAY TOO FAST! Gives no time to let info. sink into the brain. Hello, it's math 106. Take it slow. gives so much work that we never finish it in class, always ends up being homework.:( Does all the problems BUT Doesn't really explain how she gets her answers.
Not very helpful. She thinks everyone understands her and keeps on moving no matter what. Leaves questions hanging on and just doesn't give a straight answer. Good Luck to you if you decide to take her. If you really care about learning, find someone. else.
She is an amazing teacher! Cares about her student's and tries to help as much as she can! I recommend taking her!
I did not like her. She moved way too fast and barely explained herself. The only helpful thing was that she printed out notes that you just fill out during class. On top of everything, she just has the personality of a rock. I know that shouldn't be a big deal, but it makes math even more boring than it already is. Not recommended. :(
Good teacher. She is willing to help if you ask. The class material is designed to fail its students but thats not up to her. Overall good teacher!
She's not the most exciting professor, but she's more than a fair grader, tells you exactly what she wants in a pretty straight forward way, and is overall flexible. Don't bother with the text book, there's almost no homework, and the test have no surprises. It is important to attend class even though it's not mandatory.
i didnt like her at all. she didnt know what she was talking about half the time the students always had to correct her. the only thing i did like was that the practice test she gave out was exactly like the test so that was nice but for really learning the material i didnt learn anything
She was willing to help even if it meant meeting after class. she moves kind of fast and I suggest going to class. dont be afraid to ask questions and as long as you try a little you should be fine in her class
She is a good teacher. It always helps me to know a teacher is good when the student is not good at the subject and that was the case for me. she gives out worksheets which are the notes for the day. Her tests aren't that bad and she gives out bonus points for stuff sometimes. she takes attendance but i dont think that affects your overall grade.
1.) I think she is gorgeous 2.) She was a really good teacher with nice hand writing on the board which made it easy to read and understand. 3.) Come to class every day in order to master the material 4.) She is really nice and helpful when you talk to her about problems concerning the subject.
She is absolutely amazing!! I would reccommend her to anyone! I have been at utc for 2 years now and this is my third math class and she has been BY FAR thee best math teacher! Homework is easy, class work is easy, and she never keeps you for the whole class period! You would have to be the epitome of STUPID to not pass her with atleast a B!
Professor Ramnarine is by far one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I took Pre-Cal in high school and she made things seem so easy that seemed so hard in high school. She gives reviews before every test and they really helped me out. Only one homework assignment before each test. Gave extra credit for coming on rainy days.
LOVED HER!! TAKE HER CLASS IF AVAILABLE! She is awesome! Great, great, great math teacher. Learned a lot from her!
Terrible teacher! She was not clear at all and made fairly easy formulas seem like rocket science
Great teacher, willing to help students that actually try!she gives notes that are very helpfull and explains things clearly.
very nice teacher goes slow so you understand. sometimes to slow but very nice. definitely a good class to take if math isnt your strong subject
Best. Math Teacher. Ever. Super helpful. Really nice. Take her class if you have trouble with math!
She is the best - and only excellent - math professor at UTC! Must take her if you are not good in math. NO textbook homework - so don't waste your money. Easy A with minimal effort!
Compared to other teachers, she's hot. She's single and maybe somewhat depressed. The class is the easiest one they offer, and she's willing to work with the class to make it easier. Awesome teacher! Big heart, and lots of empathy. The final isn't required, but it can replace a test grade if you take it. I would highly recommend her.
Great pick, if you're shopping for professors. If i had another math class I'd take her again.
Great teacher, I would recommend her to anyone who is not very confident in math as she is very good at explaining things. She is also very fair and understanding if students have problems.
Awesome Teacher....very easy on the eyes....big heart...helpful...would take her for any math class...Did I mention she was easy Hot?
All notes are filled out in class. All homework is online. All quizzes are take home. All tests were multiple choice. Good professor and willing to make sure you understand the information before moving on.
You will never use the textbook. All the homework is online in coursecompas. The tests and quizes are only over the notes that you must print out at home on your own. You bring the notes to class to fill in with her. She explains everything very well. I would recommend her!
She's a great teacher! Probably the best math teacher at UTC and her classes usually get full fast. She teaches the material very nicely and her quizzes are take home and her tests are quite easy too. If you do the quizzes and online homework you'll do good on the test
Very great instructor. Explains material very well if you go to class and pay attention. Never uses book but you need to get the code to do online homework which is very easy and multiple attempts. I would recommend her to anyone that has to take this class.
She's awesome. I took the class with Dr. Darken in my first semester and dropped it on the first day. I tried it with this professor and have loved it ("love" being relative since I hate math with a passion). Overall, she made an otherwise miserable experience pretty good. I'd recommend taking her to anyone I know.
Ms. Ramnarine is very helpful! You need to attend class. She gives you study guides before each test and the test are VERY similar to those. You can make an A if you go to class and study.
tests, take home quizzes and online homework comprise your grades. attendance was usually taken. you print off the notes at home and bring them to fill in during class. she's an excellent teacher, and is always willing to help (she has multiple study sessions outside of class). Ms. Ramnarine knows math. I'd recommend her to anyone.
She is a Boss! Best math teacher I ever had! She writes EVERYTHING DOWN. We don't just assume 2+2=4. We do the math on paper. So easy to follow. She gives you notes to write on [YouPrintBTW] and you follow her through math world like its a dream. Her tests are comprehensive and A's are in sight. Quizzes? Take home & Check with your friends!
Great teacher. She gives you notes to fill in as she teaches, and thoroughly goes over everything. Our class was doing terrible so she re-opened the HW assignments a lot, and also easied our tests up. Class is hard for the math, but she teaches it well. I would recommend her. But make sure you go to every class! That really helps a whole lot!
Best math teacher I've ever had. She makes notes that you fill in as you go and she covers everything so well. The only homework is online and it's really easy. She also gives take home quizzes that you have all week to work on. Only con is that test are over a lot of material, so it's a lot of studying if you want an A.
I LOOOOOOOOOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!SHE IS SOOOOO AMAZING!!!she has the notes online ususally prints off the first notes from each section. exaplains EVERYTHING!!!i really do wish more professors were like her.if you struggle with math and have to take college algebra i would DEFINITELY take her!!!
I love her! She is really nice and explains everything very well. She is laid back, but for you to fully understand everything, you should go to class. I recommend her :)
She gives great notes! I am not good at math but I have learned a lot in her class. I highly recommend her! As long as you go to class, take notes, and do your online homework you will do fine. Do not get a text book you do not need it just get the online code.
She's ridiculously easy. All of her notes are online and you just print them off and go to class. I'm not gonna lie, you need to go to class just so you know how to do the work. The homework is all online and the tests are easy. 25 questions each. She gives you take home quizzes. She sometimes talks to you like your dumb but she's easy
I couldn't believe how easy this class was. You print off the notes, go to class, take the notes, do the homework, and it all makes sense. Don't buy the textbook, you don't need it. But seriously, just go to class. Every class. My math ACT was a 24, and I ended this class with a 97. Didn't have to take the final. No midterm. Whaaaat
I'll be the first to say that I SUCK at math but Ramnarine's class was a piece of cake. She prints off the notes for you. 4 take home quizzes, 4 tests, online homework and one final.(Which is optional if you get an A or B.) Not a very personal professor, but she's an excellent math teacher and makes things as easy as she can. Take her!
Don't get the textbook. I had both sections of this class and never bought the textbook. She prints off all the notes you need for class. It's a fill in the blank type thing. The tests are straight from the notes and she gives reviews/homework that lets you know what's on the test. Overall, a really good class and most of it was review.
A good math teacher that is helpful. Study the study guide before test. Take home quizzes. Study and you will do fine.
Best math professor I've ever had! I am terrible at math and she helped me understand everything. Don't buy the book.
I am terrible in math, I had to retake this course and took her and it has been the best decison I have made. She's helpful, prints off the notes for you, just make sure you don;t miss class and do your homework and quizzes and you should be fine. She drops your lowest test grade and two lowest quiz grades.
Amazing
Guys. I hated math. I HATED math and she made it a walk in the park. She is sassy, precise, and so easy to understand. She tells you EXACTLY what is on every test and is just amazing. I read these reviews before I took her and wondered how someone could like a math teacher so much....now I know. TAKE HER!
Her teaching style makes it easy to follow and she's really nice about answering questions. All my life I've sucked at math and she made it so easy!
TAKE HER FOR MATH!!! I have never liked Math one bit ,but when taking her course she made it soooo easy it was actually enjoyable. Make sure you go to class,do your time in a Math Lab and homework and you will easily pass this class. I ended up being exempt because she is such a great teacher!!! I highly recommend you take her class!!
TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!!! She is a wonderful teacher, and I would recommend to everyone who hates math. She made it super easy and the stuff you learn here will help you in life! Great teacher, and great personality!
She is hands down the BEST Professor that I have ever met. Without a doubt, she has drastically changed my life for the better. I will truly miss her professionalism and everything that she has taught me. Ms. Ramnarine made the impossible..... possible.
GREAT teacher! Her teaching style is really easy to understand and if you do well in her class (B or higher) you don't have to ta the final. Attendance is mandatory but I would recommend going to every class anyway cause the my math lab homework won't really help you learn the material the same way the classes will
She gives you notes (some she prints off, some you print off) You don't need the textbook but you do need the my math lab (just buy that online at pearson it's cheaper)
I thought she was very difficult. The test are so much harder then the quizzes and homework and since those are supposed to be practice for the exam you won't do very good. I'm not the best at math but I'm good enough to say that I've had WAY better math teachers.
Ive never been good at math in my life so entering this class I was aiming to at least pass it, but if you truly want to pass math she makes the material easy to understand and will stop to answer everyones questions. The tests are a little difficult but if you practice the study guide and understand it youll do fine. Take her class! its worth it!
She treats you like you're in 6th grade and I hate listening to her talk. Plus she skips out on teaching important stuff that's on the homework and in the quizzes.
She isn't much help. Doesn't show compassion for her students. The class is NOT regular math and the tests are worded differently from the homework, which could cause you to fail because of the wording. The book isn't helpful. It isn't a structured math course, meaning none of the chapters build off each other.
I'm in Pre Law so I only needed one math course but I absolutely cannot stand this woman. I'm not great at math and she NEVER helped me. I failed 34 tests and am retaking a different math course.. Do not let your advisers tell you this class is the easiest math class because it is NOT. Would not recommend her or this course at all.
She was alright. I suck at math but that doesn't really reflect her valor as a professor. The tests don't mimic or even remotely resemble the homework, but they are pretty similar to the quizzes. I failed every test but managed to a C. Make sure you pass all the quizzes, do the homework, and attend the hour at the Math Plaza and should be alright.
Very thorough with explanations. Never met a teacher that went out of their way to explain math. Failed the semester before, but when I took her, I got an A.
Although I hate math, she was a great teacher. Very organized and clear about what she expects.
Ramnarine is ok. She is very serious with very little compassion. She expects you to understand each concept and if you do not understand it is almost as if she is looking down upon you. She is very strict and serious with very many sarcastic comments under her breath. Tests are more like the quizzes than the homework. Study hard. Do well.
Ramnarine is decent. She is a bit condescending when students ask for help. She does not have a very bubbly personality, but not mean at all. I took her for Mathematics In the Real World. It is not an easy A as I thought it would be. An hour a week at the Math Plaza is mandatory, and there's quite a bit of My Math Lab homework.
Online quizzes and homework was a breeze. Onl took attendance ocasionally. Tests were very easy if you looked over the study guide. Get a C or above and you dont have to take he final!
Mrs. Ramnarine is a very nice professor! She does a very great job of explaining the course material. Homework is easy, and she is always willing to help! Text aren't bas, as long as you pay attention and do the homework!
Took her class during the summer. She keeps a tight ship but she is a great teacher. If you need help, don't be scared to ask.
My favorite class of the semester!
GREAT Professor! She uses guided notes in lecture and they are really helpful to use for quizzes and homework. Make sure you do the homework and talk to her if you need help or an extension on something because something happened she is pretty understanding. SHE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT ON FRIDAYS JUST FOR SHOWING UP SO DON'T SKIP ON FRIDAYS!!
Her lectures are very clear and sometimes oversimplified but that is much better than the alternative. She gives you guided notes and goes through the whole process when teaching a new topic. Only gives 4 or 5 tests and they are generally pretty easy
Has pages of notes that you just fill in, so it's easy to look back at them to do homework. Online homework and a quiz for each chapter, but you get two attempts for each quiz. A few tests, provides study guide. Nice, answers questions. Two excel projects that are super easy. Roulette attendance, usually for extra credit on the next test.
Professor Ramnarine's Math 1010 is set up very well. The notes are fill in the blank style making everything very easy to follow. The subject material is a little strange, but as long as you study it and practice using your resources you will do just fine.
The way she structures her class worked really well for me. Made math easy. Don't buy the textbook, just the online My Math Lab code. All you do in class is notes and exams, everything else is online. Doesn't take attendance often, but sometimes you get extra credit on the next test if you're on the attendance sheet. Will definitely take her again.
Professor Ramnarine is the best! She gives detailed note sheets and even prints them for you. She goes through step by step and answers any questions you have. Tests are a bit hard but she gives good guides and review days for extra credit if you go! Highly suggest taking her for statistics! Super relaxed teacher!
Professor Ramnarine is one of the best professors I've had. She is extremely organized and helpful. If you have a question, she will answer it in depth and is extremely patient with everyone. There is a ton of online homework, but if you get that done it's an easy A. I would totally take her class again!
You have to print out all of the notes, but she goes through everything in a lot of detail, and is very willing to answer questions. There is quite a bit of homework, but completing will help you in the end. If you have a good grade at the end of the semester you don't have to take the final.
Lots of homework, but it's wicked easy if you paid attention in class. She's more than willing to work with you on deadlines.
She is fair and has high expectations. Her lessons were well organized with notes that helped with homework and quizzes.
Really wonderful Professor. She points out a lot of stuff on notes that I feel like a lot of professors don't, like underlining words that help you know when to use a certain formula, and that helps out a lot. Would definitely take again.
I really enjoyed Professor Ramnarine. She seems stoic in lectures, but if you talk to her in person she is really nice. Her class is really easy if you just follow along with the notes and do the homework. There is kind of a lot of homework, but it is all really easy or can be done in around 30 minutes. I would highly recommend Professor Ramnarine.
Professor Ramnarine is a very good teacher and if you have questions she's really good at explaining herself. The tests are easy if you know the material, and the homework is easy to make 100s on. Just show up and pay attention and do the homework and you will do fine.
I took her class online and it was easily my best grade of the semester. She provides so many resources to set you up for success in her class & responds the emails almost immediately. She is very flexible with you. While the class is a lot of homework & quizzes it did help prepare me for the unit tests
This class is not hard if you do the online homework assignments every week, take notes, and do well on online quizzes . The homework gives you textbook examples and gives you the correct answer right after. YOU DO NOT NEED THE TEXTBOOK. Just buy access code for HW. She is very nice and a laid-back person. Tests are kind of difficult so STUDY.
As long as you come to class, take good notes, and do the reviews she posts online for tests you will do very well. There is homework for every section but its an easy 100 as long as you use the unlimited attempts to get correct answers. Love the class, it's easy and fun.
I had Ramnarine for my first online class. She is so incredibly kind and helpful, and is willing to provide extra assistance if needed. She is very thorough in her explanations, so for those who don't love math (like me) the lectures are clearly understood. She also provides a lot of resources to obtain the grade you want.
Very good professor. Lectures clearly explain the concept and give plenty of examples. Online homework has multiple attempts and is straightforward. Tests aren't bad. Had two excel projects which are very straightforward as well. Offers extra credit for coming to class sometimes. Always willing to answer questions. Great professor highly recommend!
Took her for stats. Great professor, just did't like the material. Final exam is optional with 2 excel projects, lots of quizzes and LOTS of homework. Show up for lectures and you will be fine
I absolutely hate math, but professor Ramnarine made it the most bearable math class I've ever had. She gives clear lectures and always answers questions clearly. There are extra credit opportunities as well.
Professor Ramnarine is an amazing professor! Her class is super easy as long as you pay attention to her lectures and stay on top of assignments. She's really good about reminding students when assignments are due and she explains material really well. As long as you show up for class and pay attention, you'll have no trouble passing.
Ramnarine is a very sweet lady and obviously cares about your learning. However, she moves very quickly and there is little time to ask questions in class, so it is easy to get lost or fall behind. She assigns TONS of homework, but you get unlimited attempts and 2 attempts on quizzes. Overall not a hard class, even if you're bad at math.
Ramnarine is great. She cares a lot about student success but is also to the point and concise. Very helpful about when assignments are due. It's easy to pass if you try. Lots of homework. Unlimited attempts on homework, two on quizzes. Tests are kinda hard but as long as you put the time in to study for it, you'll do well.
This class is literally so boring but pretty easy. The math is really dumb and not really applicable to anything and lessons don't build off each other. Ramnarine is not very personable and is long-winded and at times confusing during lectures. I would still go to class because the attendance grade is helpful to your final average.
Ramnarine is a great professor and good at Math, however, lecturing is not her thing. Although, attendance is taken I skipped most classes besides test days to listen to her online lectures rather than her face-to-face lectures because I felt like I got more out of them. Homework is heavy and multiple tests are harder than they need to be.
Tests are worth 52% of your grade. Professor is extremely nice and willing to help you outside of class. She is a fair grader but there is a lot of homework. Would take again.
I thought this class was pretty easy to follow and an easy A! Lots of online homework and quizzes, but they help you a lot on the tests. If you do well on the homework and quizzes you should be good to get an A or B in the class!
dont take her. this class was awful and she gives a ton of work. Something due almost every day and every assignment takes an hour or more.
You definitely have to work for a good grade. A lot of homework. Strict during class. However, she explains things very well and is definitely willing to help you
If you struggle with math professor Ramnarine is amazing. I never thought I would actually understand math. She goes slow and explains things in a way that people who suck at math like me can even understand. Highly recommend!
I signed up for this intro math class thinking it was going to be pretty average in difficulty.. I did not do well on the 1st test- at all. I did all of the homework and studying and still made around a 50 on the first test. The way she weighs her exams is RIDICULOUS. You also take quizzes on Proctorio- which is horrific. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR
Ramnarine is amazing. She takes time to explain everything you have trouble with when you attend class; she goes over every section even after you watch lectures. Homework can be a lot, so time management is key. Open note quizzes help your grade and closed note tests after every section aren't too bad. Highly recommend!
For a gen ed math course, I'd say this is a good choice. Math concepts are all easy and she goes into painstaking detail in lectures. Consistent schedule of homework, quizzes, and tests. Provides fill in the blank notes for every lecture and gave extra credit for submitting scratch work on tests. Only catch, no late work.
she is a HORRIBLE teacher. DO NOT take her if you dont have to! Im almost failing right now and im normally really good at math! she doesnt help you whatsoever. if you need help, then you better ask someone else. the tests are 50% OF YOUR GRADE! where as the other EASY stuff is only 10-13%. definitely do not take. find a different math.
prof ramnarine will allow you to make up any homework you missed and work with you to get your grade up. its a flipped classroom. tests are online proctored. the reason im not failing is bc she worked with me and let me make up some assignments.
You will be doing work on work and it means little to nothing. This professor makes her test worth 50% of the grade so no matter how well you do on the quiz or homework your test grade out weighs it all. She also try to trick you on the test, it will look like none of the work you have done to study.
Due to Covid in-person class is optional but if you need extra help show up for the class because she will answer them. she does move fast when teaching so you have to speak up if want her to go over something. there is a lot of homework, quiz, and test so if want a good grade you have to be willing to put in the work but there be time to improve.
I took a hybrid of this class and attendance was optional. I found the online lectures at a good pace and learned a lot. Tests were not terribly hard.
Dr. Ramnarine is the best of the best. I struggle with a math related learning disability and most of the time my teachers don’t know how to help. She has been reassuring, and has provided so many avenues for improvement. I’ll say this: communication matters. Each time I have emailed in a professional way she has been more than happy to help
Very work-heavy. Expect to spend alot of time on this class. Doesn't help much when you need help. She also explains very slowly and it is hard to pay attention. The tests are also weighed extremely heavy and they are hard tests. It is alot of homework that takes multiple days to complete.
Not a bad professor at all, math just isn't the easiest subject. It can be overwhelming at first but take the time to schedule things out, or use her provided calendar. Watch lecture videos and go to class if stuck. She goes slow and is able to help, or use SI meetings. If you put in the effort you can at least pass.
There's lots of homework, and I mean heavy on the homework, and for my class we did something called recitation, which was an extra hour of math class which I would gladly do again simply because I am not the brightest when it comes to math, also she does this review that happens at night specifically at 8 PM, however it is worth it
Lots of homework and quizzes, easy to get behind. You must go to class. She's a nice lady, but it is difficult to wake up for her early class and stay motivated even though the material is easy.
She was so easy to follow in class and as long as you study and listen, you will be fine. The content itself can be a little tricky but she is very accessible and wants everyone to succeed. She makes lectures fun and light but do be ready for a lot of homework/quizzes and test reviews.
Dr. Ramnarine advises to invest time early on in the heavy load of coursework before you. She alerts you to important points to know for upcoming tests. During class lectures she is very open to questions. She explains the material better than the E-Textbook. She informs you of all the study skills you need to employ to be successful.
A lot of due dates for homework, quizzes, test reviews, and projects. So make sure that you stay ahead of all your assignments. Overall a very easy class and very sweet professor. She gives out note packets and works through them in lecture and reminds students of upcoming deadlines constantly.
this professor does not teach in my opinion. giving out notes sheets and simply telling the answers does not help students learn. the class is also very homework, quiz, and test heavy. although tests are 50% of your grade and do not look like anything learned in class. do not take this class with her, it is incredibly hard to stay focused.
The homework and quizzes weren't hard per se but tedious and time-consuming. The lectures weren't the most engaging, but they got the job done. I wasn't able to get to know Dr. Ramnarine because of the lecture hall-style class (and her somewhat impersonal approach to it), but I'm sure she's just a fine person outside of class.
The lectures mostly consisted of her writing down answers to problems and students writing them down on a notes sheet. Each week we have something called recitation which I found to be super helpful if you use it to improve your knowledge on the course. I was able to connect with peers and the professor to gain a better understanding of the units.
The homework and quizzes can be tedious, but Dr. Ramnarine's lectures are straightforward. She's accessible and wants students to succeed. Using Unstuck AI and attending SI sessions helped me stay on top of the workload.
She is really good with explanations, goes slow, and reiterates all her steps, i would definitely recommend taking her, especially if you're not strong in math. the only thing i wasn't a fan of were the online homeworks, and she smacks her lips in between sentences which was annoying but it's ok.
I am a senior and this is one of the most difficult to understand classes I have ever taken. There are VERY detailed discussion posts with backyards due dates. She isn't flexible, I had to take time off of work just to do the homework. Also anything in the lecture videos do not help very much since she explains everything under the sun. Avoid!
This could have more to do with the class than the professor but I struggled greatly with this class. I'm already not great with math but this professor's overly complicated explanations of seemingly simple problems threw me for a loop. Grade relies heavily on test scores. I had 100's on all homework but I'm a poor test taker, so it tanked my grade
Do not take this class if you have a chance, especially if you can't take the test, because that is really what your whole grade is, just a test, almost 50 percent of your grade. Her class is very long, and sometimes she talks so much that you get confused about what we are learning. She seems nice but not the best math teacher.
SO MUCH HOMEWORK but she teaches the material well. You basically have to pass all assignments to pass the class if you fail the tests.
