Concise teacher, explains fairly well, but does not elaborate too much on her own (will if you ask). Tests with very few problems on them, but gives partial credit, so not bad. Accent that takes a little time to get used to. A good prof, but not overly easy.

Avoid her Linear class AT ALL COSTS. I took her Calculus 1 class and it was pretty easy, but I am a 3.95 student transferring to Georgia Tech, and her 3650 blows physics 2 and chem 2 from the hardest professors way out of the water. None of the definitions, theories or explanations make any sense and no amount of studying changes anything.

She was a great math teacher. She explains the material very well. And the test are not too hard. I would suggest make sure you study for the test and you should do good. I liked how she put the class notes up online so you could see the notes later.

Professor Hebda is a very nice person, and a gifted mathematician. The only thing that gave me any trouble was her accent. She speaks great English, but for some reason it made it harder for me to understand the more difficult concepts. She is a very caring though and more than willing to help her students.

Prof. Hebda is great! You have to really be willing to put in the effort for an A. Weekly webassigns, 4 to 5 tests per semester. Straight forward test questions. If you can do the questions in the webAssign and Book, you should be fine on tests. Accent is difficult at first but not a problem. I'd take her again if I could.

The tests aren't super hard and are based off the homework; almost no word problems on tests. I have a hard time understanding Dr. Hebda. Not because of her accent, but she teaches in a roundabout way. I don't know what she's talking about most of the time, and she tends to goes on a tangent about said topic. I recommend watching calculus videos.

She has an accent, but I was able to understand her without problems. She likes her students and wants them to understand the material. She is kind, helpful and open for any kind of feedback. I would take her again any time!

Dr. Hebda is great at providing clear information about what she is testing you on. If you do the homework, listen to the lecture, and read the textbook, actively, you will know how to do everything she asks of you.

Dr. Hebda was great. Her class was super organized. She ended up dropping the lowest discussion and homework grade + she'd replace your lowest test with the final. She always responded to our discussion posts and was super involved. She really wants you to understand. Each test we could have a page of notes and the final was open book.

She is very nice and is teaches well. You are not given any study guides so be prepared to make them on your own. You will have a homework every week as well, if you take notes you will pass this class

She is a very nice, caring and great professor. As long as you take notes, do homework and study your notes and the powerpoints with solutions, you will do well on the tests.

Do NOT take this class! I don't know where any of these positive comments came from, but for an online class, it was the hardest class I've ever taken! You literally have to teach yourself. Power points are given, math videos, and the math book but thats it, & your on your own. So much to learn in no time! Not even on tests. DONT TAKE THIS CLASS!

Tests are based on homework and lectures. Teaches through PowerPoint. Homework is different from what she teaches??? She gives you the tests back and my advice is, KEEP THEM. Study them for the final test. They will help you a ton. Homework is a headache but do it to get a grade. Your calculator will be your best friend. So make sure to get one.

I took her online statistics course. It is an online self paced class, so with that you need to be very motivated and able to self teach yourself math which can be challenging to people like myself who may struggle with math. She very good at answering questions, providing feedback, and dropping some lower grades. I wish there were more videos.

Hands down the best professor that I've had, she cares about your grade and will give you opportunities to get it up. She bases her tests on the WebAssign homework, really easy tests, always explains the material good. She does respond to emails, and she also very accessible during her office hours. I am also taking her for Calc 2 in summer.

light work. If ur good at math, won't be hard at all. but she isnt the greatest professor, so if you struggle with algebra, be careful but you should be able to make a C at the least.

Worst online professor. Office hours are through email. I had a 4.0 taking mainly science courses as a bio major, before this class. Spent countless hours in tutoring with professionals who couldn't figure out her problems. Might be ok in person but sucks online. DO NOT TAKE. Tests are impossible. Save your time & sanity. Rude, unhelpful emails too

Terrible online teacher. Very strict curriculum/syllabus policy, even in circumstances like personal emergencies. The questions on her tests weren't situations we would encounter in classwork or homework. All her notes were just summaries of the textbook; no videos or any other resources. Good portion of class got lower than passing grades.

Would spend hours & hours with tutors & they could not comprehend her coursework either. The practice labs & on the homework/quizzes don't correspond with what's on the tests. Professor was unwilling to also accommodate students who had emergencies who needed to do a make up discussions/exams. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES WITH ThIS PROFESSOR

Professor Hebda is a challenging but fair instructor. The coursework takes a lot of time, but she provides helpful resources like class notes and the option to replace a lower test grade. Using Unstuck AI alongside the textbook and tutoring made the class manageable.
