Excellent teacher. Motivating. Good looking and youthful. Funny. A Math Dept. treasure besides Daniel Judge. Clear. Lots of homework and online quizzes mean success. Slight , but sweet, accent. Math is a breeze with her, but will never struggle.

She teaches the way math should be taught. She's not at all easy, but super clear. No make-up exams, unlike Judge. Don't get me wrong, Judge is a good teacher, but she just cannot be beat. She will make you find out that you were actually good in math all this time. You wont pass if no work done.

i think we should give her a chance since it is her first time teaching it, but really, she is somewhat unclear in this course.

I hope she is ready to teach Cal3 by the time I get there because her exams are straight-forward. She is very understanding. It sometimes feels as if you are not taking any math at all. Of course, if you want an A, you must work a bit harder. (It is surprising how she does not skip word problems)

Vicious grader, online quizzes are stupid because they are closed to any other possible answer, spends too much time teaching the same thing, the amount of homework is tedious as it is useless, says "yeah" and "all right" too many times, tests don't give clear directions.

Idk how she teaches in other math classes but in math 120 she does her worst...we raced through the chapters with no review for the any of the tests besides the final and is very unclear about the material given... Everything she teaches are from previous notes she has saved so all she does is read. Them and writes down what she has with little explanation and skips a lot of steps to arrive to an answer...not recommend for math 120 do not take her if u want to pass...

Professor Siswanto was born to teach. She has clarity and patience. She is highly organized and very approachable. If ever I had a question, no matter how simple, she answered it w/o bias or a frown upon you. She is encouraging and very clear. From my stand point, she is a gem at ELAC.

Her tests are easy, but sometimes she adds a tricky problem here and there. Likes: no midterms, drops lowest test out of 7 exams. Dislikes: Final is cumulative!!

Not recommended at all. Not very approachable. She gives a ton of homework. You have to give at least 20+ hrs/week for hw. Goes over the lecture with only 1 example per section & expect you to know it right away. She assumes that 1 per section in math is enough. You will eventually have to learn on your own to catch up.

Ms. Siswanto is an amazing professor. I took pre-calc with her over the summer and man I don't regret it one bit. She is very caring and gives many opportunities to raise your grade. If you want an A, you definitely have to work for it. She is such a beautiful and very loving professor. I highly recommend her.

45% of your grade depends on exams, it's tough if you struggle. She lets you do take home quizzes, & partner/group quizzes. Takes attendance but does not count it towards your grade. She provides study guides for all your exams which is highly appreciated! She explains concepts so well, and if the class doesn't understand it she makes it simple.
