Anna is a awesome math teacher. She constantly asks if there are any questions before moving on. Sometimes it felt like she was moving on too fast, but there is a lot of content to cover so it's not her fault. Very caring person.

She is an amazing Professor. If you hate math, you will change your mind after you take her class. She is able to deliver information to the students in an amazing way. A very enjoyable class that is not boring. She answers all questions, whatever they are.

I took Math10 which wasn't in the drop down menu so sorry for the confusion. She is very nice and respectful, but she gives out a lot of homework. So if you go to school and work full time like me, you are not going to get the homework done in time and you won't do well on homework quizzes. Not fun and VERY stressful.

MATH 10: I found this class difficult but, Anna really does care for students. The moment u realize u are struggling go to her office hours or u will fall behind. I would go to her office hours and complete the homework w/her help, this ensures that hw was done and correct. No late hw penalty and group quizzes. Take this class w/ Anna!

Taking Anna's class was the best decision I've made this semester, the drive to Petaluma was 100% worth it. She was such an amazing professor; she gives students the best possible chance of receiving the grade they want with,group quizzes,previous tests as study material,and homework extensions. Promise you won't regret taking any of her classes!

Great professor. During lectures, she passes out notes and goes over several examples with the class. Always stops to make sure everyone is on the same page and understands everything. Homework can take time sometimes, but nothing too hard. Tests were a walk in the park. Allowed to work in groups on weekly quizzes.

Anna is one of the three best math teachers currently at SRJC (others are G. Bach and J. Martin). Had her for Stats, Calc 1 and Calc 3. Caring, great teacher, and very accommodating. If you see her class available, take it.

I took this class as someone who hates math and always struggled with it. She was one of the main reasons I passed with a high grade. Make sure you have her check your classwork before it is submitted not the TA! Try to attend every class or I guarantee you will fall behind! She is great professor!

Anna is the best! She truly cares about the success of her students and it's very evident in her lectures and communication. She's extremely responsive to questions in and out of class. The course is naturally difficult and will require your time and commitment. The homework is online, so that can be challenging to those who aren't as tech savvy.

Easily the best Math teacher at the JC. If you are able to take her, 100% take her. I was a math major and had 4 other math teachers at this school, so trust me.

She's very kind, but I had a tough time grasping the concepts. It was fast-paced and was simply lecture after lecture. She's very busy, which makes outside communication difficult at times. I would have passed if she had given more time in class to breathe and connect for tutoring. Not everyone learns by just copying her notes from the board.

Just an overall fantastic professor. I took her class after not being in school for a few years and yet she was able to explain very complex material in a very understandable way. She is a wonderful professor who cares deeply about her students and their success. I only wish I could go back in time and study the way I should have.

Anna is one of the best instructors I've had at the JC. She explains concepts clearly and ensures everyone understands before moving on. She's responsive to emails, flexible with office hours, and also tutors at the tutorial center—so she's always available when you need help.

If you want an easy A, take this class. However, be warned, you will not learn the content well. She does no derivations, no proofs, and teaches straight from her previously written notes. She allows any calculator on the whole test, and the tests are really easy, so an n-spire will guarantee good grades. Her homework is a really large grind too.

She was a great teacher and seemed real passionate about her work and always gave good feedback and was willing to answer any question you throw at her. No textbook the 4 tests including your final is worth a whooping 68% of your grade. Lots of homework too. Be warned if you suck at math take the concurrent support class

Anna's approach to teaching is so systematic. Her handouts are designed to teach the material, there are weekly quizzes based off of the HW and in class notes, the exams are based off of the quizzes, homework, and notes. There are no curveballs, everything on the exams are things we have looked at before and she is very clear about expectations.

Mrs. Brown is a caring teacher and thorough in her teaching style! Her class is easy for the most part, I really recommend to keep up with the homework as much as you can, and study really well for the test. Quizzes are group effort which makes it easy. I didn't enjoy the project at the end of the semester, it made the workload harder.

Organized notes, group quizzes, very kind and non-judgmental professor. It's apparent she loves her job and is passionate about what she teaches. If I could take her for every class I would. Since I am based in Santa Rosa, it was a difficult decision to make, driving to Petaluma for her 8AM class. I have never regretted it and you won't either!

I am taking Anna Brown right now and I can see why she has such a high rating on here; however, I will say that for a 3rd semester calculus class, she does go over a LOT of the algebra behind things when calculus would have been easier to do. She is really fantastic for lower math courses, but isn't quite as good with the upper levels.

Passionate, understanding, organized. Great for Calc1B, below: posts notes online; quizzes allow teamwork. Not conceptually rigorous. Too few exams worth 40 points, with algebra graded too heavily on them, 3 errors is maybe b. Online work penalizes you for wrong attempts. Too slow, had to rush at end. Section work due by exam. Wouldn't take
