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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
