she helps you understand the material
Has a very great sense of humour. Pretty easy to understand. If you're having trouble with something, Dr. B is very easy to go to for help. Makes math fun (which I didn't think was possible in highschool)! ^ _ ^
I loved her sense of humor, and the way she always had these cute tricks to help you remember things. She is very blunt, she will tell you exactly what she thinks about it.
she is a wonderful teacher, one of the best with math that i have had the pleasure of being in her class. i would recommend her to anyone she is just great!!!
awful
shes such a swetheart. If u have a good atitude with her shell have a wonferful one with u. Shes very clear and knows her math and is alwayz willing to help out with a smile on her face. Shes a comedian and loves to joke around and put smiles on her students faces. Overall i reccommed Mrs.B to anyone who needs to take dmath cuz shes one of the best
Taken in Mayterm, She was nice. Her class is fun, but you may need to try to work for your grade a bit.
best math teacher i have had.
this is my second semester in her calss and im looking forward to another quick sucessful semester.
She is real nice and makes sure that you understand your work. I was actually happy to learn, she made it fun. She made it understandable and made it seem easy.
She was the first math teacher that i have ever, ever, ever enjoyed. She's acts crazy by throwing things and talking to the board and stuff but it's all good cause somehow i learned the stuff and passed. Not hard at all she reviews over and over all the time, which makes it easier.
Terrible! She was very incosistent and she moved way to fast and her test were not easy to understand!
She is a great teacher, this is my second semester with her, and i will take her again if i can. She is helpful and gives you good examples of math problems. If you have trouble in Math you need to take her class
She is a great teacher! she makes it fun and interesting. if you do not understand her lessons then you need to drop out and go flip burgers at wendys!
Dr.B is a fantastic math teacher. She brings her class to life and makes math fun to learn. She should teach highschool teachers how to teach math. You can not go wrong by selecting her class.
great teacher
If you were one of those kids who was bad in math because you could not stay awake because your teacher was so boring, then take ms branum. She is really lively and helps alot. She really helps you understand and will help you outside of class, and she is really funny.

I have always hated math. I don't care about pi (unless I'm eating it) parallelostuff, or hypothowhatevers. I have made it so far through life (41 yo) knowing how to balance my checkbook & leave a good tip at a restaurant. Dr. Branum deserves credit. She really helped me to understand math. Dare I say it? Math is my "favorite subject" Yikes!
Great lady! Will wake you up first thing in the morning, adn is crazy enough to make you laugh. Knows her math and more important how to TEACH it. You have to do the work but she will help alot. I keep taking her!
She cares a great deal about her students
I took Branum for two computer math classes. Shes lots of fun and very helpful if you just ask for help. The nature of the course requires lots of work but she makes it enjoyable. She cares about her students and will do whatever she can to help as long as you are nice, polite, and respectful to her. I would recomend her to anyone.
she is awesome and funny! you will def not fall asleep cause her voice will keep you up haha. must do/turn in homework, tests can be a lil bit hard, just stay on her good side and sit in the front!
the Best!! always making sure that she answer ur ?'s... always willing to help! and very really nice...!
Terrible teacher when asked to help with home work she teaches stupid little songs that are supposed to help you but in reality you forget them in about 30 seconds also if you dont do the homewrok the exact way she wants you to she will either not let you take the test or she will let you test but she wont let you retest if you fail I do not recome
great teacher!.. she actually makes sense and you wud learn alot from her and she reviews for all her tests one day before plus her class is fun!
She is a nice and hillarius person, her class is not borring. This lady find easy was to remember formulas. Unifornunality, She does not give a lot of extra credit, you can met her iguana for only 6 extra credit points. You can learn a lot in her class. In additon, you do not need to buy a book, she will provide it for you.

She's so funny! You actually have to do work in her class, but she is always willing and ready to help you. She makes sure you do all of the homework before she lets you take the tests. She really likes you if you're responsible.
Very nice teacher! Makes her students laugh and she helps you learn with songs which really to me it really helped! She is the best! Does not bother to teach you the steps to solve a problem! I recommend to take her classes DMAT 0098 (lab) very helpful!
Best professor ever! I took her for 097 and 098, she makes math fun and easy to understand. If you don't get it at first she'll be happy to help you out. You won't regret taking her!
I have taken her for 090 and 097 for developmental math and she is TRUELY A BLAST!!
she is a very good teacher. very nice person too she only gets mad at the students that dont try and learn.
Wastes TOO MUCH TIME being fun, nice & goofy. There's a lot of info in each class and she has to race thru it to accomodate the time she spends on YouTube or getting the classroom technology to work properly. Choose Tinsley or Browne if you need a prof to actually talk about HOW to do algebra.
Gosh, what a great teacher. Took her for developmental math a couple of times, then took business math from her just because she was teaching it. I was NOT a biz major. BB ROCKED. That was 16 years ago, I read these comments and remember how much I loved her. Hilarious, and very helpful. The goofiness helped, loved it. Rock on BB!!
Okay I have taken B.B. for all the Dmaths 90-99 and she is freaking awesome. She totally prepared me for college algebra and any other mathmatic courses I may take in the future. BTW she doesn't waste time being goofy, her jokes relate to her what she is teaching! and help you remember formulas!!:)
one of the best professors ive ever had. shes eager to help her students and sincerely wishes you the best.
AWESOME!!!! she is extremely goofy but knows exactly how to get her point across. doesn't get mad if you ask questions and has the best test reviews. genuinely cares about her students and their grades. if you put the time and effort into this class you will do great :)
She's a great teacher, gacve us a homework assignment the first day of class, then we do it and our my math lab and that's it. She is very helpfull, class is usually crowded, but she lets other students in the class help you. I'm taking her for all my DMAT classes
She is so helpful! I specifically arranged my work schedule so I could be in her class. She is always ready to answer my questions, no matter how elementary they are. She is very good about going over the important things to remember on a test. She explains things so clearly and uses a lot of tricks to remembering things. She is great!
Barbara is extremely helpful and fun when it comes to math. She makes these songs to help you remember equations with a lot if steps which is also very helpful. I hated math never got it and thought I never would she opened my eyes to learn a lot in Math. I so appreciate her. My advice TAKE HER!!!!!
Very easy. pay attention and you will get an A. Holds reviews before test, she gives the same type of questions just diff numbers all in order for the test etc.. Mathlab is easy also. if you get it wrong you can keep re-doing it to get a 100.
Pretty cool teacher, pretty helpful also. I recommend her to anyone who just wants to get the class over with quickly.
Great teacher, I'd recommend her to anyone. She's friendly, considerate, outgoing, and easy to get along with. She might seem a little weird, but you'll love her for it in the end.
Awesome professor! Extremely helpful, easy to understand, always gave us a two minute review before we took her daily quizzes. She goes out of her way as a professor to help you understand the material so you can get a good grade. She's cheerful and upbeat, would recommend her in a heartbeat! :)
Great teacher! Very helpful and wanted us to all get 100. the day of the test you had the option to stay in class and she would go over the whole test. loved her! she get to know everyone and made it easy to understand.
Great teacher!! Very clear in her work and tries really hard to make sure we all pass. Very highly recommend her if you want an easy A!!
Great teacher very enthusiastic you will really learn from her
Awesome teacher, and very unique. She is really helpful and nice. I would recommend this teacher to anyone.
I love this professor so much! She is absolutely amazing. She is so sweet and helpful. If you visit her often, ask questions, and pay attention; you'll definitely pass her class with flying colors!
Best teacher ever! She's great in every way and very helpful she is also do much fun in class it's hard to fall asleep in her class(:
I recommend her to everyone that needs to take DMAT. She is awesome and I have learned a lot from her! Take notes and I would highly recommend her lecture class. She makes learning math fun!
best teacher..i would recommend her to anyone..very very helpful
If you need a DMAT class and are dreading it then this is the instructor for you. She helps build confidence, is available when you need her, funny, and fair! I want to take all my math classes with her!
Ms. Branum is wonderful! She is very helpful, but also very encouraging! She is one of the few instructors out there that is not only willing to help you when you don't understand the problems, but also is genuinely happy for you when you accomplish your goal! She is funny and sharp as a tack! I love this instructor!
No words can describe this woman! Incredible, wonderful,sincere,funny,encouraging,awesome! Deserves only the best of students to attend herclass because she is there to give you 100%.. I love her to pieces!
This has to be the most caring instuctor out there. she will keep your attention and always makes sure that her students know everything ther is to know about the material. she knows that life happens and is willing to work with you when it does. i cant explain the wonders she has done for all her students. i highly recomend her.
Barbara is amazing! She is an excellent mathematician. She has helped me grow in mathematics! I will continue to choose her as my professor as much as possible.
This is an amazing professor. I really enjoy speaking with her and she is extremely kind to all of her students. She has a NO CELLPHONE policy, so keep that in mind. Attending class is extremely important! She helps everyone and is an overall awesome professor!
Awesome...do not be disrespectful and you will do fine. She is awesome. She is best in a lecture environment vs. a computer based or lab based one. :)
MS. BRANUM IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!! She is HILARIOUS! she will keep you awake no matter what! she is random, funny, LOUD, and talks to every student and makes you smile and makes you feel like your at a comedian show learning math. SUPER easy and she will be determined to make sure you understand. i suck at math and got a B+. I reccomend her
She's a great professor! You guys should take her class!!! She's very helpful and caring, she knows her stuff & she'll do anything to help you.
She is the BEST. She will make you succeed. She is an asset to the school.Dr Branum, thank you.
Dr. Branum is a really nice and caring person. She was very helpful to me. My only problem was that i registered thinking this was a lecture class and it wasn't, it was a lab class. Make sure you know what you're signing up for, this class was very hard for me because there's not a lot of help in class--you just watch a video and do your homework.
very good teacher and cares a great deal about each of her students. The math is sometimes hard, but she helps you until you know it
She is awesome! I suck at math and she helped me understand it. She really cares about her students and is so helpful. I wish she taught 0099. I strongly recommend her.
Very nice, and funny. But really helpful only when she is not occupied or stressed out. She tends to be absent minded, so just be sure to get a clear explanation when you ask for help.
Dr. B is Amazing she's so funny, she caring she sometimes bark like a dog but it's awesome i love her i spent a lot of time with her and she makes sure you understand what she teaching and will have one on one when she has extra time words can't express how great and amazing she is i would recommend her to the world take the lecture class it's fun.
Nice teacher .Review before the tests.
Barbara Branum is too bad professor. She will not help you to solve any equation. She will tell go to the textbook and solve equation by yourself. I recommend you guys especially international student not to take this unfair professor, otherwise you will get a great failure and depression even if you work hard.
Terrible teacher when asked to help with homework she teaches stupid little songs that are supposed to help you but in reality you forget them in about 30 seconds also if you dont do the homework the exact way she wants you to she will either not let you take the test or she will let you test but she wont let you retest if you fail. not recommend
Terrible! She was very inconsistent and she moved way to fast and her test were not easy to understand! I advice you guys not to take her class
A great teacher, care about her students and is willing to help in any way she is able . Gives a lot of reminders before tests are due and homework schedule is very easy to understand. Thank your help Professor Branum.
Dr. Branum is nice and clear. She's also very helpful and works with you to understand the algebra.
Dr. B is so awesome. Her personality makes her a great teacher. Not only is she hilarious and witty, but she has a very effective way of teaching. She simplifies everything and she teaches patterns so that things are easier to remember. She reviews the homework and the tests, and gives credit for effort. I actually like math now!
I took Statistics 1 last semester with Dr. Branum and am currently in Stat 2 with her. The semester ends next week and the only reason I am now passing is because Dr. B has been more than fair with me and the rest of the class. DON'T EXPECT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING! If you WORK HARD and SHOW UP, Dr. B will go out of her way for you.
This woman is hilarious. She is very helpful. I prefer the Lab class because it is self paced. Stay on top of your work though. Everything is online, including watching video lectures and she walks around and helps you with questions. You can work ahead in the class and finish early too. You do not need the book for this class at all!
I took Branum's class for Summer 1, and I was really worried about passing because of how condensed the class was. However, due to Mrs. Branum's support and advice, I got a pretty good grade. She really wants everyone to pass, and never caused me to feel dumb for asking questions. Textbook was online, so I didn't use the hard copy.
Branum was recommended by a friend. And was the greatest decision I made! Every lecture is explained and reviewed very well. She is fair and will work with you if your falling into some trouble. She can make the class laugh while teaching a concept which is always great. Truly a professor who wants to see you succeed. I recommend 10/10. You won't regret taking her course!
Although I took an online course and had minimal interactions with Dr. Branum, she was very willing to help if you'll ask for it and very supportive of your success in the class. She's a great professor and I highly recommend her classes.
I took her class quite recently and although I did pass with a B, I personally wouldn't take it again if I had to. Her course load was too heavy and she moved too fast for my preference. If students had questions, her remarks were quite sarcastic and rude. Tests were hard as well and there was hw every single day. Do not recommend.
The class was so great!!
Dr. Branum is a sweet teacher, she cares about her students, and she is willing to help. The homework part is a little challenging because she wants you to show the work on a spiral, which makes you take longer with the homework, but it helps you get it better.
Shes so great. Im not a math person but I can get an A because she teach very well.
I took self-tought class, for that I don't know if her class is difficult or not. But she is very nice, and she likes to help her students.
Professor Barbara Branum is an excellent teacher and is very patient with students who are returning to college after several years out of high school. She explains basic mathematical concepts very well and goes above and beyond to guarantee each student's comprehension of the subject being taught in the classroom. Take her if you have the chance!!
Dr. B is great! If you call her "Ms." or Ma'am" she will return the favor by calling you "student". You're Welcome. She a little weird at first, but you will get used to it. Make sure you complete the homework and Online checkpoints, as those are major grades. Unless the curriculum changes, expect to have 7 Major Tests + Final. Study!
Dr. B was by far my favorite math teacher ever! She makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on to the next section. She is very strict about cell phones, but you should be paying attention because she teaches so much better than the book could ever try to. There is a class review session the day the exams open.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Took her online class it was pretty self-explanatory if you need anything she was always an email or a call away. She gives you a schedule that outlines what you should be doing every day until the final exam also, make sure you DONT GET BEHIND!!! Deadlines sneak up on you quickly. You must take 3 exams then a final ALL ON CAMPUS.
Dr B is an awesome instructor took 2 classes with her and she presented good methods of teaching. She is passionate about her class. Always responds to emails. Like her style of teaching she made math easy and doable Recommend to take her classes.
Dr.B is by far the best professor you could ever get. she has about 4 tests and she is always there when you need her. Homework before every class and you need to do them to pass. She's also very adorable with her little jokes during the lectures. She cares about you passing and being successful more than you know. Highly recommend taking her!!!!
Took Dr. B's online DMAT-0305 class, and I will say it was a grind for me because of how bad I am at math, and she took the time to help me. Worked around my work schedule for the online help sessions and if you go over your exam with her and you can explain what you did she will give you the points back if it was unclear to her. She was the best.
Highly Recommend for those who do classwork around their work schedule. 100% online. Responds to emails quickly to help me understand any material! Grades work, not answers. After an exam MEET with her,she gives points back if you explain your work. Dr. B IS THE BEST! 10/10, LOVE HER! I Can't believe I am saying this, but I'm more fond of math now.
Do not take this professor! Save your time and money.
I got a good grade because of my hard work, and I do not recommend her at all.
This class had a lot of assignments in a week, then a study guide before the test. The tests were nothing like the study guides, and four or five out of the ten questions were NOT multiple choice. I do not recommend taking her.
She literally finds any reason to take off points on your exams it is like she wants you to fail. Do NOT take this professor.
