She is rude, she rolls her eyes at questions. She makes you feel dumb. She loves taking .5 off for anything. I did not like her at all.

She seems really nice out first--until she singles out students to make passive aggressive comments. Complete control freak with NO patience. Worst math teacher ever it is painfully obvious she does not teach elementary school anymore because the kids did not like her/ she got fired.

At first you think she will be the best teacher ever but then she's turns on you. There is no point in taking this class in person she doesn't teacher you anything a video is more helpful the she is. Her attitude is questionable through out the semester also almost like she thinks lesser of you.

She treats you as if you are an 8 year old who needs to be scolded on everything you do. If you are even 2 mins late to class she'll yell at you. Her homework is tedious, & her tests are very hard. You basically have to teach yourself the course because her lectures are no help. So please, if you want to pass math, DO NOT take her class. :)

She is the worst teacher I have ever had in all my years in school. She panics about everything and she worries about things that students are doing wrong half way through lecture and make herself look dumb. She never lets you speak or ask your question before she answers and always seems to get mad when things are not done her way. WORST TEACHER.

Probably the worst teacher I've ever had and most unorganized class. Lectures are 2 topics ahead of the actual homework you're supposed to be working on. Ask her for help and she tells you to watch the instructional videos. Not a good teacher. But I passed with a B

She has her days where she can be so nice and days where she overreacts with EVERYTHING. Messes up when she does her lessons a lot. When going around the room, she touches people's belongings when they are in the restroom. Doesn't like to be asked questions- leaves it to her TAs.

Um, taking this class online and horrible at math? AVOID!!! Teacher doesn't work with you half the time, and responds late to questions. There are not much available resources. Don't take. Maybe she's better in person, but online HORRIBLE!

Just uses recycled material that is not aligned to her homework questions or tests.

Worst teacher ever. Basically sets you up for failure. If you take this class don't get this professor! Trash

The class was overall easy. The whole course was online and the explanations were really helpful. There was no need for a teacher because she didn't do anything. When I would ask her for help she either did not know the right answer or would tell me the wrong way to do it. No extra credit and no final and she made it so we can't finish early.

Okay so this was supposed to be an in person class but everything was online. You literally showed up and worked on a computer. This teacher didnt give one lecture the whole semester. How are we supposed to do the material of you dont explain it to us? If I wanted online math I would have signed up for that.

This is the only course I've ever taken where the methods of testing and completing homework were more difficult than the actual subject matter. Several students sent complaints regarding difficulty accessing exams, which the instructor responded to apathetically. Unnecessarily difficult and unhelpful overall.

We are military so we had to move and I couldn't take this course in person. Anyways I struggled as I took this online course, made it to the end with 69%. I asked her for extra credit, didn't allow it. I was super bummed. I just feel like she doesn't cooperate with the students. If your not good at math AVOID ONLINE!!!!

This professor refused to teach the course. What she does is everyone is expected to do everything on the computer and if you have questions dont ask her she doesnt help you. There are only 3-4 TAs in a class of 100+ students so you have to wait a very long time for help. You arent going to get a single lecture if you take her. Dont do it.

MTE281 was the hardest class I have had to take because of this teacher. The class itself is not hard but Beth makes it impossible. She does not understand what she talking about and makes us as students feel stupid when we don't understand her. I do not recommend taking her as a teacher if you are in MLFTC. She is the worst teacher I've ever had.

This class was extremely disorganized and Schlenker never seemed prepared for her lessons. If you need help from her, she is sarcastic and makes you not want to ask questions. Her teaching did not serve the course purpose and was taught horribly in my opinion. Not MLFTC quality and I would avoid at all costs.

I am so upset that I even tried taking this class. Started online just one day late and already lost out on points for not "attending" I even got a snarky email from her stating I was falling behind already. This class is ALEKS based so your trying to teach yourself and have to do 70 topics (each about 5 problems) per week. I ended up dropping.

I literally lost points for using a slashed zero because that "means empty set" in a problem that didn't involve sets at all. Her grading on explanations in her problem sets seems pretty subjective. At least participation points are easy. So glad I tested out of 80% of this class based on the ALEKS assessment and finished by week 4.

Basically the worst. The highlight of this course is that there is minimal contact with the professor. The only thing she grades are the worksheets, everything else is through ALEKS.

Do not recommend this instructor. She overcomplicates assignments and is not clear on how to access materials or assignments. These aspects of her teaching methods set students up to fail. Nearly all communications from her were full of sarcastic, snide remarks. She is difficult to reach for help for anyone working a full time job.

Worst professor I've ever had. If you like paying 2k for a class only to have the instructor insult you and avoid any questions you have, you'll LOVE this class. Got accused of violating conduct for asking a question and no-I'm not exaggerating. She will only tell you to read syllabus instead of answering questions. Glorified ALEKS babysitter.

The worst professor I've had within the teaching college. She doesn't know how to work technology and gets annoyed at the students for not understanding what's going on. It's truly aggravating to sit through a zoom class, and she seems annoyed at her students for not being able to deal with her lack of effort.

This class will make you want to drop out because she is so inept at being a positive TEACHER. She makes you fell stupid and easily annoyed when questions are asked. Please someone that can make hiring decisions read this and reevaluate her employment, she is not fit to motivate students or teach.

She is the worst teacher I've ever had. Despite the majority of the class saying they do not understand she continues to move on to the next lesson. She makes mistakes that confuse everyone alot. I understand that technology is difficult for some but it seems like she's never used a computer ever. She is rude and sarcastic and is of little help.

Its evident that Beth doesnt care about students at an individual level. She doesnt know how to run an efficient class and the group work is tedious. Not clear in giving directions either. Would waste time to call out students who didnt have their camera on over zoom. Sit down Beth, its a 100 level class and we can get an A w/o a camera on

A classmate from another class told me to double check my test scores because this professor is notorious for marking right answers wrong, after I told my current classmates about that "magically" we can no longer access tests to see how we did. I asked her a question and instead of answering she told me to dig through announcements for my answer.

100% worst professor I've ever had. She is clueless all the time &.calls out & offends her students for asking for help. Cares so obnoxiously much about whether students have their cameras on during Zoom. Im not kidding, take a shot every time she says cameras must be on & you'll be blacked out by the end of class. Just teach the class Beth.

I cant count how many times students were called out for no reason. Many of us received condescending private messages on Zoom and/ or were put down in front of the entire class. She embarrassed a lot of us and used scare tactics to get her way. She also treated us as if we were literally children. Her attitude is awful and she didnt really teach

Teaching and learning online is difficult, but Beth Schlenker really took it to the next level. I gave her the benefit of doubt first couple weeks in, but her mistakes were consistent the entire semester. It was to the point where many of my classmates began learning on our own, because all Schlenker could worry about were if your camera was on.

god i HATE this professor. the course material was ridiculously easy, but she managed to make even the most self-explanatory content difficult simply because of the idiotic way she made us submit assignments. please, please, PLEASE do not take a class with this prof, she will make you want to put your head through a wall.

Worst teacher I have come across at ASU. She made one of my peers cry today and individually called out students, talking to them as if they were children. This was over assignments being submitted incorrectly (the professors fault) and she approached the situation unprofessionally and rude. Not to mention she literally doesn't know math lol

Beth is the absolute WORST teacher I have ever had. The course should have been simple and easy, but Beths honest stupidity made it impossible. She refuses to answer questions, all of her assignments have errors, and overall makes no sense. The more time I spend in class, the less I understood the content. Do yourself a favor and do not take her.

Professor Schlenker does not come to class prepared. There are many times we had to correct her mistakes and it took her a bit to understand what was wrong. She accused half of the class for not doing their homework, even though everyone completed it and she had mistakingly made 2 submission links. I felt I would be ridiculed for asking questions.

This professor is one of the coldest, and least inviting professors I have EVER had. Vague, almost condescending feedback on assignments. Is not willing to work with you IN THE SLIGHTEST, even for things that are out of your control. The Canvas layout for the class is confusing and her requirements to submit written problems are ridiculous.

It's only my 3rd day of class, and this teacher is the absolute worst. The format is unnecessarily difficult to navigate. She's rude, not at all helpful, and doesn't care about her students. She expects you to eat, sleep, and breathe math(that's now much homework there is). Do NOT take this teacher. If I could give her lower than one, I would.

So disrespectful and disorganized. Many links were broken so I couldn't access a lot of things. I told her about it and instead of working to try to fix it, she told me to call tech support. They were busy so I asked her to email me the homework and she didn't even respond to my email. Do NOT take her. 10/10 would not recommend.

Assignments become unlocked the day they are due! DO NOT TAKE. Still in class, hw due every night. taking this class solo, content ok but written assignments on ALEKS unlocked the day they are due. Recommend only if you are a full time student, good luck if you have work and family life too.

THIS IS THE WORST CLASS I'VE EVER TAKEN. The layout is confusing and difficult to navigate enough as is (double triple check that you submitted something) and then she requires a ridiculous written assignment that is worth a giant chunk of your grade. Math is hard enough for a lot of people- why does she need make it more difficult?

This teacher does not want to help students via email & does not even teach the class herself. She relies on ALEKS to teach & her organizational skills are poor. I spent 2+ hours per day on homework most days. I missed one assignment on ALEKS, scored a B average on tests, and did all other hwk/extra credit & barely scraped by with an A. 0/10

Professor Schlenker does not care about her students or respect us at all. Rather than helping you with homework, she stares you down, and there's an awkward tension. She gives you a lot of reading on ALEKS lot of parts to each question. She is a fast-paced teacher who goes over each lesson quickly, rushing you to take a quiz, learning nothing.

I repeat do not take MAT 142 with her because she has multiple assignments due everyday and can not teach, when you are stuck you basically have to figure it out by yourself. ALEKS software was hard to learn, if you do not pass subject you have to keep taking it over until you pass it. She makes you record while taking tests. Overall awful class.

Don't do it. Schlenker is so rude and gets angry when the class doesn't understand the material she can't teach. She should not be a professor.

This class is a waste of time and money. I have special needs and trouble understanding math. In this course you show up and she refuses to teach or answer questions on the problems simply referring you to online lectures which offer minimal info. Better to save money and take 142 at a community college. Schlenker doesn't care about her students.

Extremely unhelpful. Most of us in the class could not figure out the HonorLock program and were posting about it on the community forum and her response was just to copy and paste the instructions we all already had. Workload for this class was way too high and she won't help you when you don't understand, she leaves passive aggressive comments.

She Accidentally didn't put 2 of my assignments that I got 100% on in the grade book. I told her this, and she refused to give me credit for them because I didn't keep one of the papers even though it was her mistake not grading them. I lost points even though I did the work. She's also just mean and yells a lot and tried to take someones phone.

This professor is not willing to work with students at all. If you miss something you get a 0 end of story. You have to check in and out every day or you'll get a 0- even if you turned the assignment in that day. She entered my grades wrong multiple times and will not tell you why you got a 0 on something unless you track her down. Don't recommend.

Dont take this class unless you want to be doing hours of work on "Aleks". Had to teach myself everything in this class. Teacher doesn't help at all and is rude. She very strict with assignments and heavy work load. Aleks is the worst software for learning ever. The only reason I got through the class is because of the IA's who were there to help.

one of the worst teachers ever. made class mandatory on election day- almost every other teacher emphasized the importance of voting, so to let them know if you needed some time off to go vote. Not beth, her class according to her is the only important thing on earth. she WILL yell at you in the middle of everyone, and no she does not care abt you

In a class that does not require much teaching or effort from the professor personally, she still finds ways to be completely incompetent and unhelpful in every category. She has an extreme lack of empathy towards student situations, I would not recommend taking her class if you want a professor who is in anyway going to care about your success.

She is by far one of the worst professors I have ever had. She will email you constantly and is extremely passive aggressive. I ended up dropping the class because she was so terrible. 142 is a very common class so please do yourself a favor and find someone else. DO NOT TAKE HER

Did not help me with assignments and not understanding.

Teaches what is essentially an online class, adds busy work, and requires in-person attendance both at the beginning and end of class. The Math itself is pretty easy, she just makes sure you do 10 hours worth every week She's not compassionate or understanding towards her students at all and treats everyone like a paycheck. AVOID if possible.

Extremely passive-aggressive and unkind. She had all 130 students swipe in AND out for attendance in every single class. It was basically online with too much busy work. If you can slide under the radar and don't mind doing reviews every day, you could survive, but even after getting an A, I hated that class.

Just not a good teacher all around

This entire class was on ALEKS, if you don't know how to teach yourself material I suggest finding a different class. There's no lectures, the TAs are the only ones helping, attendance is mandatory, and there's a ton of tests.Take the course completely online if you can. There is ZERO point to be in person. She clearly has some control issues.

She won't teach you any mathematics but she will teach you how to become hated by everyone you know

DOES. NOT. TEACH. Every single person in this class complains about her. She makes snarky comments, doesn't teach, and doesn't even grade. The TA's basically do her job for her in class, she doesn't even grade. If you are not willing to spend hours studying and teach yourself the work through ALEKS... it is not worth it to take this teacher!

The struggle was real with this class. The whole class is on ALEKS and you teach yourself the material. The TA's are the only ones who will help you in class. It was nice to excused from class if you worked ahead. Avoid taking her class.

This teacher gives busy work and keeps the course very participation heavy, but doesn't teach at all. Doesn't allow any late assignments ever and offers no help. She gives a million assignments and a lot of it is busy work, not even going towards the grade. Do NOT recommend this professor at all, take math with anyone but her.

She was rude. Definitely will not recommend it.

She doesnt actually teach 142, its all online so only take her if youre good at math but if youll ever need help you should pick someone else. She was very rude to students and strict about phones and talking. She once told me to stop working ahead but later praised those of us who worked ahead. The content is not difficult, but she is.

Honestly this class is pretty easy if you're decent at math. If you can get ahead on all of the homework, you'll be golden. Although, she doesn't teach anything really you mostly have to figure out stuff yourself.

I had a hard time getting the help I needed in this class. Whenever I made mistakes, it felt like the instructor was distant and not very encouraging, which made it tough to ask for help. It would be really helpful if there was more support and a more positive attitude towards students, especially when they're struggling. Not approachable at all!

Might as well be an online course, instructor not involved AT ALL, TA's are life savers in this class. They do her job for her.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. She is the worst prof. I've ever had. She does not teach ANYTHING, if you need help look online or ask a TA, she will not help.If you fall behind even because of a legitimate reason, she doesn't care there really is no catching back up with her.She doesn't do anything besides talk to your class for 2 minuets at the beginning.

Do NOT take this professor. Change immediately. Class is fully online, class time is used to complete online work. TA's are wonderful people, the professor refuses to help whatsoever and is very condescending and passive-aggressive.

Prof. Schlenker has got to be the WORST professor I have ever had. Doesn't teach and doesn't know the material herself. Be prepared to ONLY watch videos. So strict about attendance but very unclear about the attendance policy. Be prepared to not schedule anything that might conflict with class because she will make you cancel it.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Does not bother to teach her own material and has no idea how to help students when asked for help. Her TAs do all of the teaching and working with the class. Strict on attendance, checks you in and out of class. Also very rude when emailed and approached in person. Take any other professor!

Terrible with instructions and sugar coats everything. Not helpful whatsoever

This professor creates an unwelcoming environment. Questions are met with passive-aggression or blatant disrespect. This environment is not supportive, making it hard to ask for help. She has no issue lecturing students in front of the class; unprofessional and unnecessary. The environment is discouraging, and everyone I've talked to dreads class.

teaching style tailored for students with strong Math142 foundation. Does not accommodate diverse learning styles. volume of HW assigned excessive and focused on quantity vs conceptual understanding. students who struggle w/math or need addt'l support, I would not recommend her as the approach is not conducive to mastering material effectively.

Professor wrote questions incorrectly and still marked the class as incorrect. She was literally no help at all, would not elaborate on anything you asked her.. I regret signing up for her class profusely.

This is by far the worst professor I've had in my few years of college. She does not care to help, let alone she does not care to teach. She is a huge red flag as a professor, as well as a person. She will make sure that every single one of her students does not pass her class. I don't know how she still has a career. What an awful “teacher”.

She refuses to think that one of her students is successful in her class and automatically assumes that you're cheating. She has given numerous students in this class zeros because she assumes we are cheating on every single one of her exams. I am extremely disappointed. To have my hard work stripped away from me.

No exaggeration when I say you will spend at least 2 hours on each homework assignment, and there is an assignment due every weekday, so an assignment due mon, tues, wed, thurs, and friday. Sometimes there are even two assignments due on one day. Class is incredibly time consuming and exams are 50% of your grade. Would never recommend to anyone.

This class was way more difficult than it needed to be. The workload was excessive and overwhelming. When students asked for help on the Ed discussion boards, she was often dismissive and condescending, which made it harder to feel comfortable asking questions. Save yourself the time, do not take this class.

She is completely unreasonable and Her work load is unrealistic. She accuses many students of cheating and fails a handful, and this has been going on for years. I do not know how ASU continues to employ her. By far, worst course I have ever taken. I'd rather take a full year in person class than ever take this professor. Do not learn the hard way

i do not even know where to starts but i can tell this proffessor is either burnt out or just no longer cares for her proffession. Shes lazy and hates answering quenstions, when she does shes rude and doesn't answer them correctly.

Unnecessarily difficult, excess of homework, terrible at communicating. Practice exams are nothing like the actual exams.

This professor assigns an excessive amount of homework. In the first week of class, you'll feel overwhelmed and stressed. Every week you'll have two Edfinity assignments (an online math program you'll do HW), a lesson HW assignment from her that you must download and complete, separate practice and written problems, and an exam. FIND SOMEONE ELSE!

Professor was rude and condescending when students needed help, wasn't very good at explaining topics, and homework was usually long and tedious. Would definitely not recommend, most of the students in my section were stressed beyond belief by this class!

Super rude to students. You have to teach yourself the course basically. Lots of homework and not very understanding at all. Don't take this professor. Also literally not allowed to talk in class to other students despite the fact that she isn't even teaching we just have to figure it out on our own.

This professor exhibited the worst communication skills out of any professor I have had throughout my college experience. Being an online class, it was very technology dependent and nearly every single assignment had issues with links not working or answers being marked wrong when they were right. When the issues were brought up she lacked empathy.

Does not teach at all, you have to learn everything yourself and the TA's guide you sometimes, group quiz type assignments every week and she doesn't even grade anything herself she makes the TA's do it, literally all she does for the course is unlock the homework assignments on ALEKS and send hoards of emails at 1 in the morning.
