This professor expects you to do busy work and if you talk about anything not math related she will make rude comments and roll her eyes. makes a lot of mistakes on reviews and tells you the mistakes are the right way for the exam. On exams she makes you justify everything and if you don't she marks you down a ton of points.

I wouldn't advised anyone to take Professor Welling. She does not teach you any material, instead you watch videos of other people doing the topics on YouTube and do word documents as "notes" that are very unhelpful. She usually makes mistakes when she does explain things and will try to correct herself. Test are hard because she did not teach it.

Terrible professor, I would not recommend her to ANYONE. You have to watch videos at home before class, and then spend the entire hour and 50 minutes doing busy work that doesn't help you for the test. I had to teach myself everything. She also makes a lot of mistakes while trying to explain things. She is also rude and hard to talk to.

She is terrible, I read that she was a great prof so I took her class but all I have experienced is no teaching in class and lots of homework outside class. She will sign three or four things at the same time and make many mistakes on the homework she is assigning. She also makes mistakes on tests. She also talks very slow-making it hard to focus.

AVOID THIS PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS. I took this class after taking advanced math all throughout high school hoping it would just be a refresher and now I'm failing. Welling does not give notes, doesn't give real assignments, and expects you to know everything for tests despite not teaching. Impossible grader. Only online quizzes and homework.

For MTH110, She is the best professor to have. Her lectures are a bit sloppy and she requires a good amount of participation outside of class, but other than that her class is amazing. Her grading criteria is so good and easy that it almost makes this class an easy A. You can use notes on every single quiz/ test.

Professor Welling was ok. If you struggle with math like I do go to her office hours and she will help you. Make sure you do her test corrections to help improve your grade. If you do test corrections too then that'll improve your grade and you won't have to do the final exam if you don't want to and are happy with your grade.
