If you just do the homework, and attend all the classes, you will not do well in this class. If you dont understand something the first time, she will not explain it again, so plan on at least 2 hrs a week working in the tutoring lab.

We are only human, negative comments do a disservice to the kind of person people truly are. Besides her drawbacks, she truly wants all her students to do well, and put her reputation on the line for it. A hard trait to find in todays academic culture. If you seriously find her classes hard, they are not, then blame yourself for trying hard enough.

Ms. Onzol is very specific and thorough. If you ask her a question she will answer. She has an accent but she is very clear. She tries to engage the class with jokes and with questions about the lesson plan. I think she is very good and thorough. Make sure you do your homework read the assigned reading and show up to class. Very sweet.

Please stay away from her if your are a math major or a STEM major. She is not great at teaching. She grades her tests out of 150. Her first exam will be graded out of 100. Most of the time we run out of time to cover a chapter. She told us to learn one sub-chapter on our own. You would have to basically teach this course to yourself. She cares.
