Professor Banawa responds to emails quickly and was always willing to help her students when they needed help. She takes care of her students by providing live tutorials to go over content in each long test. Her lectures are well organized and clearly explained. I would recommend this teacher for anybody who needs a great learning environment.

solid class. Each week you have 2units you have to finish, with it you have 2 homework assignments and 2 quizzes. Its normally pretty easy to finish because its all on MystatLab. However some of the stuff in the homework & tests aren't included in the lecture so you'll have to result to youtube. But she gives opportunities to improve your grades.

I learned how to think in addition to learning how to solve math problems. I'll encourage everyone I know to enroll in your class, lol. Last but not least, thank you. You are one of my favorite professors.

If you want to do well, you will have to study 4-5 hours a day including weekends. The time this class will take away from you is ridiculous. I've had 2 other friends who took other CAL1 classes at TCC saying the class was an easy A. Take another class, otherwise you will spend countless hours teaching yourself everything.

Prof. Banawa made the class harder than it had to be. I studied rigerously for one of her exams only to get a low grade because she included a question that was NEVER introduced prior to the exam. She started the class with a grade weight distribution that did not match her ICR and changed it, and never graded my course evaluation for extra credit.

Through her encouragement I was able to pass the course with a B. I was already contemplating of dropping the course but she encouraged me to work harder and seek help when I needed it. She is very responsive and always available to help me. Her class was very organized, sent announcements on almost anything, and drops the lowest test grade.

Im writing this review after taking cal2 and cal3 and realizing she made this class so much harder than it needed to be. Her tests will have things you've never seen before in order to "challenge you." Her lectures are also just her reading straight off the powerpoint

I can understand how her teaching style isn't for everyone, but I personally thought it was fine. As long as you pay attention and ask questions, you will be able to understand what is going on. It is a bit fast-paced but the homework (on Pearson), while a lot, was relatively easy. Make sure you know your calculator! It saved me so many times...

Professor Betty was a phenomenal professor, I would gladly take her again .I took the online Cal2 with her and it was a difficult class, but if you paid attention to the videos and her notes you would be fine. It is only difficult if you didn't watch the videos and do the homework. The homework and videos were designed to help you do well in exams.

Get ready to do a lot of work at your own pace and from YouTube videos since this is an online course. I feel like she did way too much as I am an English major and I feel like I stressed too much about this course overall. All the assignments are done on mymathlab and exams are proctored. Do the practice tests, it helps!

Doctor Banawa is such an incredible teacher, she makes sure that we get the lesson before moving on. She is also very king and patient with her students.

This professor was good, there is only so much that can be done in an online course. She lays out the course very neatly and does respond to emails pretty quick. Her videos and guides are pretty clear and useful. The tests are two attempts, but they're pretty tough and it's pretty much impossible to get partial credit. Reccomend to serious students

Professor Banawa lies to her students and sets them up for failure. She stated the test would be online and multiple choice and sent a reminder that morning to bring a laptop. She gave us a paper test that was all open ended questions. Test average isn't even a 40. Look at reviews closely she writes some herself and many high ratings have dislikes

Class was a bit challenging but Prof. Banawa's lectures and resources helped me keep pace with the lessons. She was responsive to questions in class, or via email or during office hours. Take her class only if you want to learn and ready to put in the work. If you just to get by, not attend class or do homeworks, think twice.

This professor set clear grading expectations and guidelines. If you have any prior knowledge and have taken Calc AB/BC in High School you'll be fine. Just make sure you keep up with homework and do the practice tests before your actual test (it is formatted similarly). There will be 4 Tests and 1 Final all done through Honorlock.
