She isn't that good tends to treat you like a little kid. Explainations seem rather difficult to understand sometimes; overall average teacher. Good luck!
Completely incompetent and did not help students until deadline for her job was at risk
She is a great teacher and spends a lot of time outside of class helping students. Before I had her for class I absolutely HATED math!! The only students that hate her are the lazy ones who don't want to do any work. She doesn't like cheaters and she doesn't like lazy students.
Horrible teacher, treats her students as if they're highschool freshmen. Should be teaching elementary math, not college. Find someone else.
Lets face it none of us who take this class want to and most of the students in this class are absolute "whinners" who think that if we complain enough we will get our way (which we usually do). This WEB site is great for complaining. Anna is great and helps out a lot.
This is a great class. It is review of high school mathematics and it would be great if the IDIOTS in the class would stop complaning so much. I appreciate Ms. Cox's help and the fact that she will rearrange her schedule to work with me. She is GREAT!!! She treats us all with respect.
Learned so much as to why things work. Anna is great. It never all made sense before. One of the best math instructors I have had and we had an awesome dedicated class where everyone wanted to learn.
Only get good grades if you suck up and visit her after class during office hours.
Seems impatient with students when they ask a question in class. She expects a lot out of students, which is probably a good thing, however, her ability to explain things is moreorless lacking. She is a very product-oriented and traditional teacher. Not the worst math teacher I've had, but far from the best.

Lots of information to learn. Keep up on it and you will do great. She is awesome for anyone who wants to learn. NOT the teacher for you if you do not want to put forth effort. Will definitely answer questions but also understands that time is limited and when she answers the same question a hundred times some of us who do understand get bored.
Overall I am having a good time with this. Math is not my thing and I don't care for it much, but Miss Cox is helpful and clear. She does have standards and gets frustrated with some of the students who aren't really quality students - so don't take her if you are a lazy butt - if you really want to learn math, take her.
Worst Math professor I've ever had. If you don't understand a concept, she looks down on you and treats you like a little child. I don't recommend her. She was never very nice to our class either, kind of a *****. Truth hurts...
Best reacher I have ever had. If youre serious about wanting to learn about math, I would take this teacher. Otherwise, take a night class if you're only looking for the easy road.
Anyone who is having a problem with this professor, is simply not applying themselves. She is very helpful, not mean at all and never looks down on anyone for "not getting it". In fact if you don't get it, she will show you several methods until you do get it. Best math teacher I have ever had.
She was very nice and she cared about my class and every student in it. She tried hard to get everyone to understand the materials and she was in her office for anyone who had questions. I highly recomend her!
Good instructor. I had to really work hard but she explained things well.
Anna is a decent professor. I'm average at math and had to work hard to get a B+. Don't take her if you want an easy grade. She will teach you quite alot, however, it is a little extensive for the community college level. The possitive thing about taking her is that she is very helpful if your willing to work with her.
i liked her fine - it is weird that people can get on here and lie if they got lousey grades and say things that aren't true about faculty - mrs. cox was really fair and wanted us to learn - but not a pushover.
Excellent Teacher
Bad from the first day. Seriously, she doesn't go over syllabus, how your grades are determined, when tests are. And she doesn't keep her posted office hours! Told class they'd have to spend 3 hours on homework a night. Unusually hard to pass class.
Took her for the summer, which is harder, she is a great teacher, if you need help she will do everything she can to help you. also had alot of homework. dont take her if you want an easy grade! you must absolutly work hard!
Do not take her class unless you want to take it completely online, she is not at all helpful when asked a question and acts like student questions are a burden to her. If she's not willing to help, and all content is offered free online (with exception of book) why am I paying so much for her to teach me?
I'm paying for a face-to-face class but apparently she likes to do work online because she is lazy. When students ask questions she acts like it is too much work to answer them. She won't write a review for tests because its "too much work" for her. Basically the laziest instructor I've ever met. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES
Terrible experience with her. Took the online class and ended up regretting it after it was too late to get out of the class. Treats the class like it is a graduate course with different projects and the workload required for the class. Changes due date of homework. Only good thing about her is she is somewhat understanding.
I've never had her for an online class, I had her for MATH 141 (Calculus 1) and she was fantastic. She helps out in any way she possibly can, she is VERY good about answering questions and the most accessible teacher I've ever had. Would take every class with her if I could.
I payed to take a class in the classroom so I could take notes and learn accordingly. Didnt expect to do every assignment online! I wouldn't recommend this class with her..
AWFUL TEACHER, she isn't willing to explain things, but expects you to know them. Only reason I passed with good grade was YOUTUBE. Perfect teacher if you want to go to class and socialize, if you wanna learn I suggest you find a different teacher.
Bad experience, teacher not willing to help, but expects perfection.
Unfairly Hard Exams and Extremely High Expectations. Doesn't lecture in class, expects students to watch online videos. The homework has to be done daily online at a different website. Cannot do homework with pencil and paper!!! Not for me!! Not suppose to be an online class.
She was very very helpful if you were interested in learning. She is not so great if you just want to get the grade and get out. I am not a big fan of math, but she got me through it fine. Other people who were lazy and didn't want to do any work really didn't care for the class. So I guess the issue is do you want to learn or not.
She is extremely helpful and quick to respond to e-mails. Her class is extremely fast paced though and you cannot get behind or you will fail. I found myself spending upwards of 2 hours per day on this class in order to be successful but I am not naturally good at math.
Take this class with Prof. Price or Sabouni If you care about your grade. Mrs Cox Is A horrible instructor.............if you don't know something she will not help yoou understand it
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. teacher makes class 4 times as hard. NOT a fair instructor.
Not an online class but, all the work and lectures are online. Why would i have to go to class to NOT LEARN? I got an A in thew class. However, the homework was WAY TOO time consuming.
this was the worst instructor i ever had, made the class hard for everyone. She says she likes students to do well but, will do EVERYTHING to make the class harder
This class was way to time consuming. Her videos to me were useless. She didn't explain squat. It's like she expects everyone to already know what she is talking about. There were not any test reviews only what was on the Pearson website. Which the test reviews were not even close to the quetions on the tests. Should have read the reviews before...
This class was terrible. I do well in math but couldn't get through this class. I took this same class and got an A with a different professor. Her videos don't explain material well enough to get a good grade. Do not take any class with her unless you want to fail.
Student has to learn material on own time. Then come to class to watch other kids explain problems they don't know how to do. It's a circus act! And it makes life suck! Don't take this professor.
It took me 4 weeks to figure out that if I did the assignments I would be golden. I trashed my grade early on because I was lazy. Anna went out of her way to help me. I failed the class anyway because I was treating it like high school, thinking I did not need to put in much effort. She might have tried harder to help me than I tried to get work do
Awful
My friend and I are both rating Mrs Cox because, we both experienced the same issue in our Math class. She make thing unnecessarily hard. I love Math and I like teachers that work hard to teach you the material. Mrs. Cox wants you to learn it on your own time. THATS WHAT CLASS IS SUPPOSE TO BE FOR. Thats what TEACHING means. bottom line NOT GOOD.
Professor was amazing and motivated me to do my best. I was amazed at how much time and effort she put forth wanting us to be successful. We had the typical LAZY students who seem to have posted here. College is about effort and learning. So sad that such an amazing professor doesn't get more recognition for doing a GREAT job!
Surprised by mean spirited comments here. I took this class last year and found Mrs. Cox was great. She worked so hard to help me. I am not good at math and I had a hard time with the class. Lots of work and lots of on-line stuff to do, but the teacher is so helpful and I learned a lot. You can do well if you work. Teacher is very fair but hard.
It saddens me to see so many bad reviews for Anna's class. I took her class for Pre-Calc and found that while she was very specific with what she wanted, it was only because being specific becomes essential as you move on into Calculus. I remember an instance where I had a question and she made a video at 3 AM to answer it.
Only four weeks in to the semester but absolutely loving it. So different than any other math class. We actually do work at the boards and interact with each other. Learning so very much! Scared about the first test but I feel like I know the info from the board work and homework. (Lots of homework but it is needed to learn the stuff.)
This Prof. made my personal Experience NOT FUN. Take another class if you can ! !
This is the kind of teacher that make people dropout. Yuck!
Homework is due constantly (online), but its funny you don't learn the things you need to know during class time. This means your teaching yourself while doing your homework, IT TAKES HOURS to do it right. Watch online videos, read the chapter, reverse engineer the answer. IT SUCKS. Exams are hard only because you won't be ready!!
Try to avoid this Prof. she is not helpful, doesn't care if you fail, will always find something wrong with something, yet hates to work hard to give you the knowledge. Worst I ever had.
Not a GOOD EXPERIENCE. Avoid!!!!
There are two kinds of teachers. The ones who understand that you have 3 or 4 other classes, a life, job, kids, and so on. This kind of teacher will keep things simple and to the point, outlining exactly what you need to know. And then there are Those who DON'T CARE. This Prof. MAKES LEARNING HARD INSTEAD.
Not a good teacher, do not take Her class!!!!!!!
Did not enjoy math as I usualy do, there were too many assignments do all the time. One section due everyday (counts toward your grade) plus another online assignment, and sometimes two. All lectures were online. NOT an online class, but you will spend three hours a night online.
If you like learning on your own, what could easily be taught to you 10 times faster, you will still not enjoy this class. It is designed to make your semester hard! Take a prof that likes to teach. NOT THIS ONE.
The best math instructor I ever had. So not traditional. She had us at the boards and talking every day. I learned so much! Not an easy class but I understand math better than I ever have.
Anna is an amazing teacher. She is always there to help us succeed. She is the only teacher I will take a class with.
She's nice, but spends a little too much time socializing with students. She gives the most complicated type of homework problems on her exams. Her lectures are online, then you do board-work in class. She didn't fit my learning style, but many other students did really well.
I am looking at the reviews and wondering if I took another teacher. I really enjoyed Professor Cox's way of teaching. Mathematics is something that you can easily learn via online video. I felt the follow-up testing of your competency in its use was a great way to strengthen your analytical skills and gear you towards success.
Love the active learning and going to the board. Wish she did not care about us texting in class but I guess we really aren't focused on the material if on the phone. A quick message shouldn't matter.
I am not certain I have ever had a teacher care as much about my success as she did. Just finished an amazing eight week class. I had failed this course with a previous instructor. Can't believe how much I learned or how helpful she was. E-mails usually within a few hours, tests graded and back the next class period. She is amazing! Love her.
#BTF (Best Teacher Ever)Calculus 2 is a hard course.I was ready to give up so many times.I can honestly say that if it was not for Anna, I would of. Anna is not human, she doesn't sleep you can email her at almost any hour of the day and you will get a response (at times you will get a video response). You have to put in the effort. UCANDOTHIS!
I have to say taking this class in the summer was not easy, but it is Calculus II in the summer what else would you expect. I can't accurately describe this class with Anna as the teacher in all the characters I am allowed. So... Favorite Class, Best Teacher Ever, Very Detailed, Worth All The Effort, Very Well Prepared for Calc 3
Cox was there for her students but I hated how she taught her classes. Out of class was when you watched the lesson on the material and then did the homework. The next day you did group work to go over the material you learned the night prior. Prepare to spend 4 hours a night every night on homework.
While taking the class, I learned that the teaching style didn't meet my learning style. That being said, looking back, Anna did everything she could to try to help me succeed. To this day, if I need anything I know I can reach out to her. She doesn't sleep, and does everything possible to see students be successful. Seeing these poor ratings
I didn't expect to be handed a grade in college. I worked for it. Too many spoiled children on this site! Anna was kind, understanding & yes hard. So is life! As an adult learner she helped me analyze & think. Much more effective than most! College is supposed to challenge. Anna makes you use your brain. If u who want to show up for an A, grow up!
Math is my favorite subject. I hated this class due to the teacher. Very bossy and kinda mean. Mrs. Cox is a lazy professor that is not eager to help students. Her students are made to learn online and from the book. Instead of the traditional teacher lecture and student learning you will be forced to seek out the mathematics needed to pass.
Wasn't sure in the beginning as we do a lot of board work. Learned to LOVE this style and am amazed at how much I have actually LEARNED not just memorized. Wow! Truly an amazing course. Am a better student due to this course.
I loved Anna! She was amazing, took her time to do things right, was always there for you, and knew what was best for you. She really helped me through the rough times, and was able to laugh with me through the easier times. I would take a class with her again any day!
All of the lectures for his class are online. When you show up to class you will go over homework problems and do work on the board but rarely are taught anything. Be prepared for 4-6 hours of online work a night and the hardest of these problems will be on the test. She was very unhelpful and would not give me my current grades when asked. Awful!
Professor Cox priorities student participation. We spent most of our class time working out problems at the board. A really difficult class, but an excellent professor to help you through it.
Prof. Cox was really clear when explaining things that didnt make a lot of sense. She had bad days where students would get on her nerves and she would be noticeably annoyed. If you are on ur phone at all, you will owe the class snacks or lose 10 points. Overall she was a good teacher, but she can be sassy a lot of the time.
I loved math. I pushed myself to excel in math and even took AP math classes in high school. Anna completely ruined my love for math. Most of her lectures were done online. Through a video that didn't show her face because she was insecure about her looks ( as she repeatedly told the class). She is a know it all. Did not help well.
I enjoyed Anna's class, she makes you work for your grade and all her homework is online. You take the notes in class, so I wouldn't recommend skipping. You do a lot of board work with other class mates and she makes you explain how you solved the problem. Her tests aren't super hard if you do the review before hand.
Anna was the teacher I needed when I was learning algebra in high school. She explained the concept to you, had you practice, and then had you explain the concept back to her. If you don't want to socialize, this class will be hard, but only because she has you work in teams and *gasp* work at the board.
I have never had an instructor care so much about us as students. I had personal things going on and she reached out to me and showed her concern. She is an inspirational leader. I worked in her class and really appreciated doing the tough homework problems in class so that when I went home I could do them much easier and quicker.
I genuinely have lost information when I joined this class. I was taught things in high school that she told me was wrong. She doesn't lecture in class, she makes videos and doesn't care about her students at all. If you need to take an algebra class for your major, do not take her class.
Anna gets a terrible rap, relative to how valuable she is as a teacher. She cares SO much about her students and their success, but she won't just hand you an easy A. There is a hefty amount of hw, but it is incredibly important to PRACTICE calculus! She doesn't give them for the hell of it. Work hard, participate in class, and you'll succeed.
I paid for a in person class because i learn best that way, but what i got was a online class where i had to go into a room once a day and listen to my professor complain about her job. She relies on short, and terrible videos she makes to teach a lesson, and expects the students to know how to do it before class even starts. Do not recommend
Anna was the best professor in my entire academic career, I would not be where I'm at without her. If your willing to be put in the work she will do everything in her power to help you grow and succeed.
Unclear instructions for online.
Expected you to learn something new everyday and switch gears all over again the next week, then take a long timed test. Expects you to learn off short videos. Expects you to do tons of homework every night. Not encouraging. Told me if you dont already know this you need to drop the class. Worst teacher/professor Ive ever had.
Anna Cox is the single worse professor I've ever had. She doesn't care about her students. The amount of instruction is nonexistent. 4+ hours of homework every single night, as well as a quiz every day as well. Also, she sets it up so you take the quizzes 2 days before you do the assignment where you learn it. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS.
a nice person but did not like her course, would not take anything from her again
She was great but a lot of work needs to be put into the class
She hardly lectures during class, so if that's how you learn, run very far away. All of her class is basically taught through stupid videos from the 1990's. You have ONE DAY to learn parts of a chapter in its entirety and then she assigns the videos and lots of homework every night. It's as if she thinks you have no other life outside of her class.
literally the worst teacher I've ever had! I had so many assignments that i got 100% on and then I took the tests and nothing that was on the assignments were on the tests.
She has pre-recorded videos you are expected to watch and learn the materials from. Once you get to class, she makes you start doing problems from the unit that she has based on the videos she recorded. Each homework assignment is worth 1 point when on average they take 3 hours to do. The tests are worth 100 points and there are no quizzes.
wayyyy too much homework. Cares about students and will go the lengths to help them but expects students to be able to learn a subject after one class period. would take again. Make sure to set aside ALOT of time for this class. mymathlab will be the death of you. she does cold call on people to answer questions.
To this day, Anna Cox is the only professor that could drive me into the looney bin within the first week of classes. Her homework was far too much and the program was difficult to figure out. She refused to lecture in person and made us search for her "Anna Cox Homepage" to find her guided notes where she talked in a monotone voice.
Anna is the most horrific "Professor" to ever walk on KCC's campus. She is of no help when you ask. All she will say is Did you watch the video. Be prepared for 3+ hours of homework every night. Don't like it? she will say "average students only take 45 minutes to complete these assignments". KCC needs to see that she is failing her students.
This is such an extremely hard class. I was sick for a couple of tests and took them a couple of days later and she got mad at me and told me it was unacceptable for the last two tests. I have stayed up all night doing her homework and I have never had a teacher pile it on this heavy ever, this class will truly mentally affect you.
INSANELY difficult course for KCC. She told us not to have jobs, take other classes, or have a social life during this course bc of workload, and it was real. Took during summer & spent 5+ hours on homework daily beyond lecture and only finished 70ish%. MANY all-nighters. Hard tests weekly. Only like 5 people made it to the end without dropping.
Anna's one of KCC's best! I took all 4 Calc classes with her. If you want to really know math, take her classes. If you just want a Math credit as easily as possible, look elsewhere. LOTS of homework. Watch her videos, participate, use office hours, send her questions. She's very quick to respond, and bends over backwards to help you understand.
This class requires a lot of work, but the professor cares about the students. Try using unstuck AI alongside the textbook and study sessions - it really helped me prepare for the exams.
Class is very fast paced. I took two other classes and worked 25 hours during this class. Never pulled an all nighter and completed all assignments on time. She is very flexible, the tests are difficult she gives nice partial credit. I barely studied for the tests and did okay. Definitely not an easy class to take and crying did occur occasionally.
