Material is tough and there is a lot of note taking but she drops lowest test and lowest quiz and she will have some sort of extra credit contest during the semester. be sure to attend class

Loved her, never had to show up to class and still did very well in the class.!

Only good thing was that homework was never due and I never had to show up to class. She taught out of the book. She didn't really go into detail, and I am not strong in math, so it didn't help me at all.

A regular hottie.

Mrs. Cooke is very good at teachig math. SHe puts it such a way a dog could learn it. Very easy tests, doesnt require you to be there. Very awesome class would suggest her above any other teacher!

Brandi Cooke is an awesome teacher. Super helpful in every way, she is always there when you need her help.

Awsome teacher. very helpful with everything. will make sure you understand the problem before she moves on. i will be in her class next semester. I recommend to everyone.

Very nice personality. Very fair on her grading policy. Quizzes are difficult, tests are not.

Mrs. Cooke is a lovely teacher. Given Intermediate Algebra is nearly a remedial-level class, she explains her processes to the dumb folks rather clearly. Although I hate math, I feel that Mrs. Cooke is both helpful and considerate; I'd recommend her.

She was a great help for me during office hours. If you show any degree of interest in math she immediatly opens up. Plus she's hot!

Strict but easy

She's an awesome teacher. If you're having trouble, she will take how ever much time is needed for you to understand. Some people don't like her, but those people don't come to class, or pay attention when they do. Both her quizes and tests are easy if you stay on top of things. She really cares

She's very matter of fact when explaining material, which is good for a math class. The quizzes are usually 2 questions, but tests are a little harder. She does grade very strictly, but if you only make stupid mistakes (like leaving a $ sign off) then you will still get your A. If you are looking for a straight forward class, then take her.

I personally thought she was a great teacher.. she explained everything very well. Yes, you have to go through the material fast, but that is how it is in every class (its college). . but cooke even offered outside study sessions b4 tests and the final for people who needed more help. Def. recommended!

Mrs. Cooke is very straightforward with her teaching. Overall I liked her, but sometimes I felt like I was back in high school when she would lecture us about doing the homework. If you're not going to do the work you're not going to do well in her class. She has no tolerance for slackers!

you must really study and practice to do well on her tests. quizes are grade boosters but not by much. gets papers back to you with in a week. not an easy A or even an easy B class. really must work hard but she's willing to help

Not my favorite math professor but definitely recommended. 3 tests during the semester with the lowest grade dropped making up 50% of grade. 7 quizzes (including a worksheet) with the lowest dropped making up 25%. Final exam the final 25% of grade. Lots of extra credit available on 2 of the tests. Tries to be interesting in lectures.

I thought this was a pretty easy class, made a B+ without trying too hard, she is just very picky on wording on tests!

Great teacher! She is very nice and very helpful and makes algebra completely understandable! I never do any homework and halfway study for the tests and I got A's! I have never really enjoyed math or been really good at but I really enjoyed this class and Mrs. Cooke makes it easy. Take her! You will learn a lot and enjoy the class!!

great teacher. explains everything very good.

The class was very short, so she didn't get to explain in much detail. However, when you have a question she happily answeres. She is very understanding. Homework was not mandatory, but a lot of quiz questions came from it. Quizes are easy, but the tests are a little harder.

Mrs. Cooke was so completely awesome in instruction and very helpful. If I had a question, sent her an email, and later that day have a response in my mailbox.

She was an alright teacher...I never went to class,never did any of the homework,and did poorly on some of the tests,but pulled up enough quizzes to get a C+ in the class,so I can't complain.LOVE LOVE LOVE her attendance policy and she almost never collects homework.The tests were worded awkwardly,but shes a math teacher,not an English major. =)

Very nice and good teacher. Tests are sometimes worded weird. Homework is not required. Great class as long as you go and pay attention.

Mrs. Cooke is great. She is very patient and nice. She explains things well. Lots of homework, but she does not collect it. Not much extra credit, and we had to do group work, which I hate. But overall, I think she was great and I would take her class again.

Good teacher, easily understood. Very helpful, deals well with questions, good office hours. Did not require homework, but many test and quiz questions came from it.

She is a good teacher,does pretty well at explaining things, my fiancee got into a bad accident half way through the semester and she worked really really well with me, taking tests early and makeups, I went to class only half the semester and did okay on the tests and quizzes and made a B. Pay attention, hmwk not required but helpful in studying.

First of all this is rate my professor not bash my professor!!!Mrs.Cooke is a wonderful teacher.She made this semester easy! She grades fairly(do the work,work the problems the way she instructs and bingo you get the grade!!!)Graded material was given back the next day of class with an answer key with the problems worked completely so you know wher

She's an awesome teacher! I would definitely reccommend her for students who have trouble with math. She's very patient and willing to help!

In online section Spring 08. Mrs. Cooke is a great professor. She takes the time to handwrite examples and upload notes to WebCT to help in problem solving. She answers email promptly. She encourages us to ask for help. She's always there for us. Math is not my strong point but she has really made a difference for me!

She very maticilious when it comes to your tests

I'm not a math person at all and have struggled with math since middle school. I did not care for her, something just didnt click with the way she was teaching. I felt the class period was rushed and always went to the last minute so really no time for questions. If your not a math person I would recommend someone else.

I am no math whiz but I took the online course, she is great, went above and beyond making up handwritten notes and posting them online. She cares and answers questions promptly. Anyone who does not pass her class isn't trying hard enough. She makes herself available to students and helps them in every way possible! Hard course but she's great!

TAKE HER. Great prof. if you come to class and take notes. This is the easiest math class I've been in. She is a really good teacher and wants her students to excel. Gives lots of extra credit if you do your homework. I rarely did homework and I earned an A. Highly recommended(:

Easy class and teacher, I rarely went to class and never did homework and I ended up with an A. She gives group worksheets that boost your grade up and the quizzes are extremely easy. If you have any trouble she is always willing to help you. Take her

Young, helpful, and sweet. Makes sure everyone grasps the concepts before moving on, but moves at a fast pace. If you do the homework and pay attention, take notes, etc., then you will definitely get a good grade. :)

PRofessor Cook is just the sweetest professor in the world, she explains the material with 100% Clarity and is always worried about her students and making sure they're learning the information as the class advances.

Ms. Cooke is a very helpful teacher. I would love to take another class with her. I don't live in Gainesville so she let me take my tests with a test administer in Starke because of my job.

Very good teacher, she expects a lot, but you learn a lot!

She has helpful handouts that she uses during class and the homework she assigns is not mandatory which is nice, however I advise you to do the hw!! the hw is basically what is on the quizzes and tests. She is very straightforward, and does not try to trick you in anyway! If you have any questions go to her, she is very nice!

extremely helpful, and if you actually study, and use the materials she gives you. YOU WILL GET AN A. easy class if you actually try. great teacher, sometimes alillte anoying with all the worksheets but it is school right? lol

TERRIFIC

Great teacher, always there to help, will make sure that you understand class. However, this is a two sided deal. You have to show up to class and want to learn, then she will go out of her way to make sure you learn it!!

She is the first professor that actually shows you how to use the calculator. She wants her students to do well but she won't just let you slide. Even though the class was an online class her tests were still on paper. She will get back to you with emails and will make arrangements to reschedule a test. She is tough, but she knows her math.

Great at answering questions and helping the students. Very friendly and is the queen at handouts(which are very helpful). **extra 5 pt. on tests if you are there every day between the tests**

She has two young kids and teaches the class as if talking to little kids. Very easy class.

Very helpful teacher. She loves her job and will do anything to help you if you are having trouble in the class. She also gives extra credit to help with your grade, so I would advise to take her!

Her lectures are fast-paced and her tests are brutal, but she does give out a lot of partial-credit. There's also lab assignments which are big grade boosters. She makes sure there's time to respond to student's questions, which is most certainly needed after one of her lectures.

Ms. Cooke teaches effectively for some students, but I believe she was a bit too fast paced. It's a challenging class that requires all resources; math lab, extra studying, maybe math sites that can help. There's really no extra credit so you'd have to work even harder.

Ms. Cooke was very clear on what was expected from her students. She made sure that we new when she was available for office hours and help. She gave plenty of extra credit to help the overall grade. I would recommend her!!!

Had her class over the summer she is a great teacher, fast pace but very helpful and makes it clear when her office hours are and any available resources that could help you.

Took this class online so I didn't get much interaction with the instructor. She offered lots of extra credit and was helpful when needed. Just make sure assignments are turned in on time.

Took this class online. Love this teacher, really nice, very organized and helpful! You have to be willing to put in at least 2 hours of work in a day. Highly recommend. Do not take online if your not good at math.

Online class. She is remarkable. HW and Quizzes online, but paper Unit Tests and Final. She allowed me to have my paper tests/final proctored in Starke. I am awful at Math and have worst math anxiety so taking this online was scary. Helped me every step of the way. Take her if your an older student! MyMathLabPlus and TI83 calculator req'd. <3

Cooke is great. Sweet, helpful, clear, and very organized. Willing to help anyone that falls behind. A lot of worksheets that helped explain hard material. Attendance not mandatory but she'll give you extra credit on the test if you attend regularly. Highly recommend!

i love prof brandi cooke! she really does care about her students and she gives fast feedback. she makes time to work with you even if she isn't available she will try. she's awesome

Well I took AP and IB calc in high school and when I took her class I pretty much didn't understand. Tests are half easy and the last few questions are tricky. Looking by the ratings there aren't better for other calc 1, she is one of the ones that's popular but if I had to take this class again I'd try someone else.

Love Prof. Cooke! She actually make math interesting. She is thorough with explanations, provides handouts for study and review and always gives you a chance to ask questions. No surprise problems, you are quizzed/tested on what she goes over in class or gives from HW. EC is available. Show up, pay attention and study. You'll do great.

Prof. Cooke is clear on what she expects. Attend class, pay attention, do the HW (isn't graded btw). EC credit available. Quizzes and tests are exactly what she taught. Best thing about her is that she is always willing to answer a question and walk through a problem with you.

Amazing, best teacher ever

Professor Cooke is a picky grader but it's with reason because it helps you in the long wrong. She's clear about what she expects from her students. She assigns a lot of homework assignments but that's good because it buffers your grade! She really knows what she's talking about so I definitely recommend her.

Prof. Cooke was one of the best math teachers I've ever taken. She didn't just teach the math, she explained why it worked. If you are planning on taking higher math classes than Calculus 1, I would definitely recommend her. She's clear and concise and her lectures are very organized. It's a tough class, so of course you'll have to study hard!

If I could have Brandi Cooke teach the rest of my mathematics for my college career I would. I generally have a tough time with math, but my lifestyle didn't allow for a physical class. I thought taking math online would be a disaster, but Prof. Cooke is so clear and concise. Do the work, and make as much effort as she does to earn your A.

She is a tough grader. More specific on your syntax on your math work and WILL take off points if you do not write it correctly. She is helpful during office hours and will respond to your emails almost immediately.

Prof. Cooke was probably the best math teacher I've ever had. Her lectures are clear-cut and easy to understand. She was very helpful and kind during office hours, I'd strongly recommend going to them if you have questions. Attendance is important as it leads to 5% extra credit on the tests if you go to class often enough. She's a tough grader

She was very clear with test dates and deadlines. Sent out lots of announcements and kept us updated on any changes. She also responds pretty quickly to messages. Since it is an online class, we learned through videos. I wish they had some more examples but overall, it was a pretty easy class. It was all on MathLab

Cooke goes out of her way to make herself accessible and to help with individual areas of issue. Class is time-consuming & hard. 70% of grade was determined by 3 regular tests+final. She is a harsh grader but goes out of her way to give points for effort and attempts. Her kind E.C. saved me. Good class but requires lots of studying and hard work :)

I have never had a bad math teacher, and I can absolutely say that she is the best one I've ever had. Lots of office hours available; she will work out problems out with you if you don't understand them. Lectures give plenty of examples. Homework is all online and reinforces topics taught in lecture. Labs help a lot. Clearly defined deadlines.

Honestly, Professor Cooke was the best math instructor I have had to date. She provides good feedback and step by step guidance for questions missed.

She's good with feedback and really does try to help you through the material.

best professor ever! really easy class, just do your homework. she gives a lot of extra credit points.

Professor Cooke is the best. She's a really fair grader, attendance is not mandatory but having perfect attendance before the test gives you 5 bonus points (this is THE BEST). She explains topics well and answers questions - definitely go see her in her office hours to get extra help if you are struggling. Overall, a great prof.

Prof. Cooke is very well organized online. Everything is very clear. I learned mostly through lecture videos and lecture notes. She answers emails promptly and with full detail. There was an opportunity for extra credit for each test we took as well as the exam. Great class, I would recommend.

Although my grade wasnt the greatest. Professor Cooke gave every opportunity for students to pass. Lots of homework but was needed for the tests. Great tracher.

Ok, so this is what you need to know if you are taking Cooke. Test are medium level. She uses the book. Assigns 2-3 homework a week. People say she is a harsh grader, but that isn't true. If you understand the topic well and make a simple alg mistake she won't mark it all the way. But if you use improper notation then she will take points off. :)

She's the best math teacher and doesn't go hard on the grading. She gives you extra credit opportunities for bonus points on tests. The work is super easy you just have to study.

Professor Cooke is an amazing calculus professor. She gives extra credit on the tests based on attendance, and being in class helps substantially. You'll have three homework assignments per week, one lab per week, a quiz every week or two, and four tests plus the final. She is great with communication and wants her students to succeed.

She is a great Calculus Prof. he gives a lot of homework and quizzes which if you do them boost your grade significantly. The COVID-19 situation this year also did not disrupt the course as much as one would think. Highly Reccomend.

As with any online math class during a mini semester, there is a ton of material to cover in a short amount of time, So lots of homework and notes. There are plenty of opportunities to keep your grade up. Professor Cooke really did an awesome job; I loved the fact that the lecture videos she used were her own videos. She also gave extra credit.

Professor Brandi is one of the most amazing professors at Santa Fe imo. I was very scared that I wouldn't be able to handle the course at the beginning of the semester and almost dropped her class, so glad I didn't. She is quick to respond and amazing at explaining. Go to office hours and do everything assigned on time she is a lil picky on grading

Professor Cooke by far is the best math professor I have ever had. She makes her own lectures and the test are very straight forward. She is very accessible. Please take her class!!

She is good at teaching but assigns a lot of work, expect at least one HW(10%) every class. Lowest Quiz(10%) and Lab(10%) gets dropped. 3 tests making up 50% of your grade, lowest replaced by final(20%). If you have perfect attendance you get +5% on the next upcoming test. I was able to pass without knowing Calculus 1 or 2, good teacher overall.

I've taken Calc 1-3 at SF and this class was by far the best out of all of them. Prof. Cooke gives straightforward lectures and is very accessible for questions and clarifications via office hours and email. While she is a very picky grader, she gives 5 points EC per test including the final just for showing up to class.

She's a chill professor, do note that there's hw almost every day. Being a math professor, she is known to be picky on how you approach a problem. In other words, she'll take points off for silly mistakes, just make sure to listen to how she wants it done and you'll be fine.

I enjoyed taking her class. Everything is very clearly laid out for each week, though there is a lot of work to do; homework and lesson notes are due just about every day. She will take time to work with you outside of class and help you. The only negative I can think of is that sometimes she writes extremely fast in her video lessons.

Online class requires "attendance" by submitting pre-printed notes that you have to complete by watching video lectures (this was not my favorite thing, but the notes were useful to look back on). Tests are a major part, however, she provides opportunities to retake each test.

good, she is lit bit mean but its fine Something she goes really fast, so you migth pay attention to go in the same page

Professor Cooke has high quality lectures that clearly show you how to complete the work that is expected of you. She is also responsive to communication. Only kinda weird thing is her honor lock room scan requirements are pretty intense but it's not really a big deal.

Great professor. I'm not a math person and I've never liked it, but she explains it all in a way that makes sense. The material is definitely tough, but it's doable. Office hours are definitely helpful.

Professor Cooke gave a lot of homework, but her lectures were very detailed. The exams perfectly reflected the homework and quizzes, so passing them was easy. My only reason for not receiving an A was because she required going to a tutor regardless of grade, which didn't work with my work schedule.

Brandi Cooke is particular about note-taking, but her lectures are detailed. Utilize unstuck ai, the textbook, and office hours to stay on top of the fast-paced content. Overall, a manageable class with a fair grading system.

Very good professor. I understand that she is a very tough grader and will push her students to the limits. Believe me, I was a dual-enrolled honors student. However, with enough time and effort (and patience), you can succeed. She is always willing to help, no matter what. I will always be grateful for Prof. Cooke and how she prepared us.
