makes difficult equations easy, never to busy to answer questions.
knows what she is doing and how to teach algebra, doesn't make student feel stupid for not understanding the first time.welcomes all questions
I found her hard to understand because she talked to the board when doing the math problems, however she was very understanding when asked to repeat the problem.
No Comments
Very easy to understand. She is willing to help you in any way she can. If you do not understand something she will explain again, if she needs to she will figure out another way to explain it. She makes even word problems a breeze.
Great professor. Very easy to understand, and very helpful. Very enthusiastic and motivated, and never seemed to be in a sour mood. Only the Calculus itself is a little tough, and without such a great teacher it could be quite frustrating.
Ms. Bellovich is a great teacher. She makes understanding algebra easy even though her class is not easy. For each homework assignment she works an unassigned problem from each section. She is willing to go over homework and work the problems you do not understand. People who are willing to work
I took this class online, so that means alot of busy work to replace lecture time. The subject is difficult, but she responds to all questions promptly and thoroughly. She is very involved and organized.
Great instructor. Always in a good mood and willing to help. Very enthusiastic and seems to really enjoy helping people. I fell behind in homework and ended up not doing so well in this class, but I still give her an A++++. So take her class and KEEP UP WITH YOUR HOMEWORK. Best wishes
Poor examples!
Very interesting teacher. Always in a good mood coming to class which makes the learning environment more comfortable. Always set aside time to help review over any homework problems. I recommend her for any math courses. Great teacher.
Good teacher, she has an exellent knowledge of the subject matter. I took this online, most of the problems I had were just the result the time it took to get an answer via email or discussion.
I took the class online and she made it so easy to understand. She posted examples and was quick getting back to you on questions and is very understanding. I wish more math teachers were like her.
Man she is hard. I need this class so bad. I failed bad. Some parts of the test. She wouldnt even let you use the calculator. She explains stuff so hard. Dont take her unless u really really have to..
Sweet teacher!!! Very helpful! Do your homework and you will be fine. The tests are just like your homework problems.
She is my favorite professor at TCC. She explains things very clearly and is always in a good mood. If you do the homework, you should have no problem with the quizzes. She also gives very helpful reviews for the exams and is very fair in giving partial credit for problems.
Very nice & very helpful. She tries to make math as fun as she can! I highly suggest her!
she is a very good teacher and explains everything so clearly. she will go over any homework problem you had a problem with and will work hard to try to get you to understand it.
GREAT TEACHER, IF YOU NEED BUSINESS CALCULUS TAKE THIS TEACHER SHE IS SO CLEAR ON EVERYTHING.
She is very good teacher. Take her class if you need math class.
A great teacher, really helps you out outside the class, and very clear in instructions.
Professor Bellovich is very sweet. Her class was difficult; she does nothing to make it easier, and gives no extra-credit. However, I breezed through College Algebra, and believe it's due to the fact that I really had to work hard to make it through Intermediate Algebra. Just do what you're supposed to do and you'll be fine.
You knew what was expected. Tests were the ONLY thing that were hard, just because there are 30 or so questions and it's worth 200pts... not much room for error. But your homework and stuff make up for it. I reccomend her, she's extremely helpful and tries to help you do your best.
She was so helpful and explained all of the concepts very well. I took an intermediate algebra class of hers and it really prepared me for college algebra! I wish I'd taken her for coll. algebra too! One of the best.
Ms. Bellovich is a great person, nice, relaxed, easy going, but horrible at explaining things. Our only points are quizzes and test! Not good at all she rushes through chapters and won't slow down if you ask. If you have a grasp of trig. already then take her if you have never had it then don't.
I think Mrs. Bellovich is a fantastic teacher. I took her online stats. She is incredibly fast with returning emails and answering questions on the discussion board. She also encourages you to stop by her office if you need help. Take advantage of the study guides and practice tests. I highly recommend her stats class!
Mrs. Bellovich was the best math teacher I have ever had. She explains everything in detail and is very patient answering any questions the class had. She doesn't assign homework for a grade, but it is very beneficial to do the homework. She is a very nice woman.
I hate math, but not so much after taking her class. Her quizes and a few of the test questions are directly out of the homework. She was always eager to help me understand the subject. Comprehensive final is VERY easy if you did all the homework during the semester (avg. 3-5 hrs/wk.) Requires a graphing calc, but willing to help us learn to use it
Brena is tough, but you will actually LEARN Business Calculus if you take her. She has many office hours available and is very patient when a student is seeking extra help. GREAT teacher, helpful, and always in a pleasant mood. She is always willing to help the student understand. Test reviews are awsome! Take Brena if you want to succeed.
she is ok! but I don't advice any body need a good GPA because thee is no extra credit or curve or any thing else and she thinks her self is funny but not? nice lady but not great teacher.
Very nice teacher!! I loved her she was crystal clear with all of her explanations and always willing to help anyone!! If you do your homework and pay attention in class you will have no problem passing the class witha good grade!
Mrs. Bellovich was a great instructor. I learned a lot in this class. Expect to spend a LOT of time on homework assignments. It is possible to have a 100% on HW because it is on mymathlab. Tests are average in difficulty. Make sure you study for quizzes(she tells you when one is coming up). Make sure you attend class regularly.
Brena is a very good teacher. Must study for this class and do all assignments (not that many). No extra credit. She will give you all the help you need, you just have to ask. Very nice person I recommend her. Tests are a little on the tough side so make sure you study, if you do you should be able to make an A in the class.
I took Business Calc 1. She is one of the best teachers at TCC! Take her class if you get the chance. She's very upbeat and wants you to learn.
She is a pretty cool teacher! Tests are mostly multiple choice and easy as long as you pay attention in class. Homework on course compass but she is really good about replying to questions quickly. Overall recommended
she is wonderfull!!
I took this class online. She is very very helpful if you ask. She is very quick to respond and will make time to visit with you in person. The tests are kind of hard, just study well for it. There was a lot of work to do but I would have done horrible if it was not required.
Gives short and easy weekly quizzes to keep you on track and does not surprise you on tests.
I took elementary statistics online. She far exceeds any online class experiences I have had. It's a busy class with some busy work, but you get a very responsive teacher in return. Study guides are given for the tests, and she's great about providing more information if you are struggling with a particular area. Highly recommended instructor!
Very nice lady. Does very well at explaining the lessons. Drops lowest test score and a few of the quizzes and homework assignments.
I had her for Business Calculus. She is a great caring teacher. Wants you to learn. You just have to do your part and show up for class study etc. Best math teacher at TCC. I Would highly recommend taking her for any math subject.
I would take another one of her classes. She speaks quickly, but she will gladly go back and repeat anything if help is needed. Lowest test, and quiz grade is dropped, as well as lowest 5 homework grades.
AWESOME!!!!!! Take her class, take it now!! Best of the best!!
Took her for elementary statistics online. Easy class but a terrible subject in my opinion. She's VERY good with communication. I made a B in the class but I never studied so it was more than I expected! Drops the 5 lowest homework grades, Tests are proctored and on campus, and she has all due dates mapped out in the beginning.
SHE IS AMAZING, she really knows her stuff and wants you to learn all the skills needed to pass the class... loved her class!!! Stats is a hard course so get ready, but its do-able! Good luck and take her if you can!
Great teacher. Very knowledgeable in math. Extremely helpful. drops 5 worst hw assignments. Take her!
SO nice & really wants to help. She responds to e-mails quickly. Replaces lowest test grade with final if it's higher. HW is easy since you can do it until you get it right. I got a 100% HW average. The tests are only about 25-30 ?'s long, but you need to study. Does a few easy projects that help raise your grade. TAKE HER!
great teacher! really wants to help you learn. always takes questions at the beginning of class and will answer emails pretty fast. 4 or 5 tests. replaces lowest one with final if it helps your grade. 5 "projects" that help grade.
Took her online stats class, and she is tough. Probably a much better teacher in person, but average online. Lots of homework. Cold and insensitive to students' extracurricular issues (like death in my immediate family). Not recommended if you have a life outside of her class.
one word... AMAZING!!! she is so helpful and understanding, i read one person said she is hard to deal with, but i didnt think so at all. she expects attendance (understandable) and expects you to work for your grade. calculus was a hard class and she gives you so much room for error, she is so easy going though, deffinatly take her if you can!!
I had her for elementary statistics. she is extremely fair and very approachable. she is more than willing to answer any questions that students have and help them succeed in the class. i would definately take her for another class if i needed to.
fantastic take her to learn more and clearly
Took her Elementary Statistics class online. She used MyStatLab for homework assignments. There were several additional projects for the class, but they were all related to the material in the homework. Tests were proctored, and worth 50% of the grade.
I had Mrs. Bellovich for Trig, and she was extremely halpful and nice. She really knows her stuff. Math isn't my favorite, but she made it bearable. I recommend her!
First mistake I made was taking this class online. Everything through math lab. Hw took forever and the projects were tough. The test were also extremely hard.. But I reached out to her and started coming up to campus and she helped me so much.. She is an amazing teacher. I wish that I could have taken her in class, bc she taught me so much. I ended up only with a c in the class but that was bc I didn't reach out soon enough and took it online.
I cannot speak highly enough of this professor. It had been well over a decade since my last math class - while I met the prerequisite, my skills were definitely rusty. Not only did she teach calculus, but the algebra necessary to understand it. Yes, HW is online, but you can work it until you get 100, leaving quizzes & tests in class. SO helpful.

I took her blended class. I definitely recommend her! She's always available for extra help. She takes off the lowest quizzes, homework and test score so you should have no problem passing if you try! Has study guides & vocab for the tests that are very helpful. Take her!!
Great professor, super nice lady. Not an easy A but she actually TEACHES the concepts. I don't know what it was about her but I developed a bit of a crush on her.. I think she's adorable.
Mrs. Bellovich is awesome, she is always willing to help. Every class period she would go over any homework questions, she is one of the best professors I ever had.
She is an excellent teacher and is always willing to help. She is good at explaining things. She provides a review for each test and gives 3 per semester plus the final. Each and every class she was always friendly and upbeat.
Mrs. Bellovich is extremely helpful and really helps you to understand Statistics. Definitely have to work for your grade, but more than willing to help if you are struggling. Lively personality, easy on the eyes! Tests are moderately hard, but if you know the material, it's not. Drops 5 Homework grades, 2 Quizzes, and 1 Test. Very sweet lady!
This was literally the hardest class I've ever taken... I wouldn't have passed on my own. Mrs. Bellovich really cares for the students and wants them to do good. She is very forgiving when she's grading, so the class is doable. If you have to take trig, take it with her, if not don't take trig.
This was an online class and if I had to do it all over again I would have taken her traditional class. She is extremely attentive and communicates her instructions and expectations incredibly well.. However, it's not the easiest course material and I would have benefited more from being in a class.
I'm really ashamed of myself for doing so poorly in her class. She is extremely helpful and very clear in her lectures. Do well on the tests and you will get an A. She's a great trig teacher.
This is truly a wonderful teacher. She respects her students and wants to see them succeed. Her hours are posted and she's available through email as well. There is a lot of homework, but it's math, it's to be expected. She makes it look so easy so sometimes when you do the homework and it's not it can be a little frustrating. Take good notes.
In my opinion this was kind of a boring class but I can say that I understood everything that was going on in this class. She makes the info easy to understand and simplifies everything for you. The homework and projects are fairly short an easy.
LOVE HER! she's corky funny and has a great personality! Eager to help, made learning material easy! on test you must show work, but she gives your credit for what you do right, if answer is still wrong. Homework is a must, it helps you in the long run. covers everything in each chapter
YOU MUST TAKE HER. Overall I loved this class, she's always happy, and very helpful, always ask questions if you're confused. Subject is hard but she makes it easy to comprehend. Take notes it'll help a lot! She an awesome professor. HIGHLY recommend her.
Great Professor! Took time to answer questions. However you do need to show up to class to pass. Her tests aren't easy but if you study you'll do well. online homework.
Professor Bellovich is an amazing instructor. I took this class online which was a huge mistake. She offered to meet and help anytime we had issues. She made this clear in all of her emails. She wants everyone to succeed. My only advice is if you have any math struggles at all this class should be taken in a classroom setting.
This is a very hard subject and the tests are VERY hard. Does not give extra credit, even when asked. Probably won't bump your grade, even if its a few points away. She is rude when replying to emails and talks to you like you're stupid. Overall, I would not take her again and I suggest not taking her for this class. Take it in person if you can.
Best professor ever. It had been years since I had taken any type of math class, she was so helpful and explained things so I could understand, and prepared me for the next math class. On-line homework is a must. Test are hard, but if you study and show up for class every day you will do great. Highly recommend her.
This teacher is available any time you need her. She will work with you on any problems you're having trouble with until you get them. Tests are passable if you are willing to study for them and the homework is due twice every week.
Took her for Statistics online. She responds very quickly and clearly to emails. She was flexible with late assignments 1 point a day after due date. There was quite a bit of reading and homework involved but nothing overwhelming. Having a decent calculator helped a lot in her class as well.
Professor Bellovich is amazing at teaching trig! I have always struggled with learning trig, but she made it fun and easy, with the work I put in outside of class. I would definitely take from her again and can't say enough good things about her and her teaching!
She is a perfect professor I have ever take. So easy quiz, review before test. She a perfect explainer.
I took her for Calc II and she used MyMathLab. Which makes me not want to recommend her, but she is a very good, not great, teacher and knows her stuff. Tests aren't too bad. Homework problems take a while and there's usually about 20 of them, what makes it worse is having to work with MyMathLab... I wish profs would stick to problems n the book
It had been 6 years since I took Calc I and I was nervous going into Calc II. Prof Bellovich always took the time to explain every part of each problem, even the basic algebra/trig. If you attend most of the lectures, actually DO the homework yourself (she uses mymathlab), and study the test reviews you will get an A
Took Bus Calc during summer. The class itself was difficult, but she always explained things in detail. If you show up to class, do the homework, and use the study guides that she gives you you should do pretty well. She was always available at her office before and after class and was willing to meet students to help them.
Prof. Bellovich teaches hard classes and makes the subjects workable (not easy. She is the best math prof I've had so far.
She is awesome. Gets back to you on email very quickly. Straight forward. Homework is not hard if you go to class and learn the materials. Very good at explaining everything during the lecture.
Professor Belovich is not an easy professor. She's accesible outside of class and encourages office hours for help, & works homework questions in class. She uses handouts rather than writing on the board. Extra credit is rare in her classes, but she did round my high B into an A. Calc 2 is hard in the first place, so take this with a grain of salt
Brena was very interactive with me and fellow students. She made the class easy to understand and I ended up rocking the material. She's happy to answer questions and help out any way she can. I only wish I'd attended more because I missed out on quizzes I couldn't make up. But if you show up, do your homework ASAP, and ask questions, you're good.
I took this class in 8 weeks so it was intense. I made sure to complete all of the homework with 100's. There is 4 projects not difficult I tended to do them along with the homework made them easier. Read the material and do the homework ask questions.
This professor is my favorite!! She makes math easy to understand. The text book is online and you do homework every week. She does not do surprises, she will tell you ahead of time when and what a quiz is on. Homework can be taken over until you reach 100%.
If you dont have a well standing in math, dont take her.
Not bad Professor, homework and quiz are easy, the test is just crazy.
always lecture a lot of hard stuff and then on the test it even harder.
This is just one of those classes you have to put in the work to pass. She's quick to reply and very helpful when you have questions. She also makes it clear what her expectations are from the start of the class. Her weekly emails are also very helpful reminders. Don't take the online course if you aren't willing to work for your grade.
The test is very hard, heavy lecture, if you dont have strong basic skill in math, you wil..........
I took the online class. Prof. Bellovich actually encouraged you to contact her with questions. Replies to emails quickly as well. However, this class was challenging for me. I worked really hard for my B. I met with my tutor at least once or twice a week every week of this semester to help me understand this class. Homework platform was Pearson.
If you plan to take more math classes in the future, you want Mrs. Bellovich. She's incredibly patient when you ask for help during office hours. Also, she's not one to just mark a question wrong; she'll highlight the step where you messed up and lets you use graded exams as a study tool. Easily the best math professor I've had so far.
tests are worth a majority of the grade, she teaches two lessons every class period and a homework assignment for every lesson, most of the time 4 homework assignments a week, very fast paced
Very old fashioned with her methods of testing and quizzing, both done on paper while all homework is done online. Discourages use of calculator for the most part as well. If the class as a whole does not participate during the lesson itself, she will assume they do not know the material and assign a quiz the next class day. GPA killer.
I LOVE Mrs. Bellovich! Maybe math isn't so bad after all. I HATE math and she made me so comfortable in what I'm doing. She gives unlimited attempts at your homework so as long as you do your work on time you will end with a 100 on all homework assignments. If you do miss the dead line she gives 50% credit. I was completely prepared for all tests.
Not even sure about the Teacher herself, taking the online course. All she uses is Pearson, nothing on blackboard. Pearson is the single hardest thing I have had to use in my life. The projects need you to gather info outside of the class info (interviews, etc.), it's an online class. She is good with emails. BUT DO NOT TAKE THIS ONLINE!
Professor Bellovich was amazing. She had the perfect amount of work spread across a reasonable time span, her syllabus and calendar were comprehensible, the course work and text book were well thought-out, and you can tell she cares. She will check up on you, encourage you, help, and get back to you quickly. Just a wonderful professor in general.
All tests and quizzes are pencil and paper, and sometimes permitted a calculator. Felt like a high school class though, homework is entirely at home through pearson, all you do in class time is go over lecture, but I always felt the lectures and homework consisted of completely different problems. Personally not my forte, so I wouldn't recommend.
I don't like math, it is one subject that I seem to always struggle with. I took the 8 week statistics course over the summer and it was easier than I thought it would be. Lots of homework and a fast paced class, but if you do your homework and take the practices quizzes you should do well on the tests. I would recommend her to other students.
Prof. Bellovich was very accessible when I needed help. I took this as a summer class online and she would respond to emails very quickly. She made videos to go along with some of the chapter content and explained things very well. I would take her again!
She is a really nice person and a solid professor. Knows her stuff and is very organized. The downside to that is there isn't a lot of room for error or laziness, especially when it comes to her tests and homework. Her lecture videos online were about an hour long each in addition to our two in-person class meetings and homework assignments weekly.
Really takes a subject that is hard for a lot of people and makes it doable. Its not fun and you have to work for it, but she's there if you need her and she has walkthrough videos that are super helpful. Very responsive to emails and sends encouragement to you.
I LOVE Prof Bellovich! She's so sweet and really wants to help us understand math better. She gives students options to get in touch with her about a problem on the homework. Her section videos are straightforward and really helped me when I was stuck. She responds quick to emails which is always nice. Highly recommend her!
Take her! She has been my favorite professor so far! She really knows what she is talking about and is super chill. You get to use all your notes for the tests. There are homework assignments every week but you have unlimited attempts. So as long as you turn it in on time it is an EASY A! I have enjoyed this class so much!
Best math teacher I have EVER had. Completely aware that a lot of people avoid math like the plague for a variety of reasons but she genuinely wants to make you feel comfortable and confident with the material. Nice speaking voice in lesson vids. Knows that past math classes are still at the forefront. Study & get the homework done. Period.
She is one of the sweetest professors I ever had. She encourages questions and explains everything so well. She is the perfect professor. I learned so much from her and will be taking her again. TAKE HER
Here lectures are very long and detailed, but that is good if you listen because she will explain every detail in the lecture. She was always willing to answer any question and re-explain. Lots of long homework and projects, but you could get online help. And tests were not hard if you paid attention in class.
It's hard to figure out your actual grade in the class because she doesn't put grades in blackboard until the very end. She is willing to help outside of class just be prepared to study with the class
The class is not easy, but she make it easy. You need to study for the class.
Only annoying thing was that I signed up for an in-person class but she would expect us to watch the lecture videos outside of class. If you hadn't watched the lecture video before you came to class you would be very confused when she started doing example problems. Tests are hard so make sure you study and see a tutor to not get behind.
If you need to take a math class, do yourself a favor and take it with Professor Bellovich. She's a great teacher and very personable.
I took pre calculus and essentials for pre calculus with professor Bellovich. She was always so cheerful and nice as well as very clear on the material we were covering and her expectations.
This course was difficult because the review would have the easiest questions on a topic, and the test would have the hardest, making it hard to judge what the test would look like. Also, get ready to teach yourself most of the time.
This class was tough, but using Unstuck ai for practice questions helped me stay on top of the material. Go to office hours if you need extra support.
