Being awful (and I mean awful...) at math had me coming into this class with no confidence. Mrs. Mitio is a very sweet lady who takes up the whole lecture time to provide the class with examples of certain math problems and the steps. She took her time explaining. Sometimes she would do easier examples than what the homework had, but she's good!

Just great! Takes the time to explain things and does not put pressure on you. Makes you feel comfortable asking questions and uses the entire class period to explain or help students out. Grades the optional homework for extra credit which is GREAT! Having those few extra points helped out alot! Overall, nice, patient and easy to learn from

Wonderful professor! I took MAT092 and MAT120 with her, she's a great teacher. Very clear in what needs to be done, is more than willing to answer questions and help if you need it. In 092, no homework was graded but in 120 she used homework as extra credit. Tests were very simple if you had done your homework/practiced the problems.

FI am BLOWN away at these ratings after my own experience with Professor Mitio! In my experience, if you got left behind in class, it was because you did not speak up, ask questions, pay attention, or get off our phone. Betsy was constantly asking us questions, helping us and seeing how we were doing. It's college and not her job to hold our hand.

Overall, she was very good at explaining the steps to solve the equations and problems. All you really need to do for this class is pay attention, get the homework done, and study off of the reviews to do well on tests. If you keep on top of your homework and do well on tests, you can skip the final! It's a pretty easy class if you put the work in.

I took this teacher twice, huge improvement from last semester! She loves to teach the math, she goes in depth on each topic before teaching the formula. She gives the proof then explains how to do it, The bad thing is assignments are due online and you learn through videos but she explains jn class the next day, just ask questions! ASK QUESTIONS

Professor Mitio is a good professor, just make sure you set yourself up for success. If you're not tech-savvy, this class is a good challenge. My best advice would be to watch the video lessons BEFORE the class to better utilize that class for clarifying questions. Printing out the homework and keeping ALL of it- really helped on midterm and final.

Prof. Mitio explained concepts very well and would show us different ways to do them. For the topics that we could use calculators to find the answers, she allowed us to use them, but she would show us how to get to the answer first, so we understood the foundation. She was very patient with questions and reviewed building block concepts.

This professor was amazing, she made this math class alot easier to digest than a prior professor I had. I also had her for mat114 so it also made it easier to acclimate to her teaching style. As long as you show up, participate, and do your homework, you shouldn't have an issue with the quizzes or tests she has.

Very old fashioned in the way she taught. Tests are created by her, and they are only paper and pencil so if you're struggling with a topic, you need to be able to start the problem from scratch. Won't answer questions if she thinks you should already know the topic, I ended up dropping the class and testing out because I wasn't learning anything.

Betsy as a person is okay, Betsy as a math teacher AWFUL. She gets frustrated if you have questions. When I attended her office hours because I was stuck on a concept, she was irritated that I wasn't getting it "her way". She doesn't create a welcoming class environment and she is very old school. I don't recommend her at all. 0/10 class

I took Betsy this year, and all I can really say about her is that she is very old school. If you're used to learning math by slideshows and presentations, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. A LOT of students dropped out because they couldn't understand what she was teaching. This class is very test-heavy, and she never gives formulas on tests.

She bumped up my extremely low exam grade, which gave me a C in the class rather than a D. I didn't ask her to do this; she did it out of the kindness of her heart. I appreciate her greatly. She is an incredible teacher! She answers questions with thorough explanations and is a fantastic help.

If you struggle in math, do not take this class. She tends to overcomplicate simple problems to confuse her students, and if you ask questions she gets frustrated that she has to go over it again. She has one test every month, and you do not get given any equations. This is a very old school class.

She treats her adult students like high schoolers. Her class is ridiculously long, and she spends way too much time on problems that everyone can move on from. She genuinely makes learning in the class so infuriating. Looks at you like you're dumb when you ask for clarification and over-explains to make it even worse.

Betsy is everything that I dread in a teacher: impatient, old-fashioned, and often times disrespectful. Despite it being 2025, she relies solely on a whiteboard and despises questions, viewing them as interruptions rather than learning opportunities. She reacts defensively instead of adapting her lessons to different learning styles.

Most of these reviews are coming from people who didn't put in much effort and still think they're in high school. She explains the material very clearly, and expects students to be respectful in her class (no phones, no talking over her), which really isn't a lot to ask.

Unsure what the previous two reviews were trying to accomplish but my experience (and several others) were very different. Yes, she demands basic respect but didn't give the same level to students taking her class. The classroom environment and teaching was lackluster. For how long she's been allowed on campus tells me there's a professor shortage.
