MATH125 - 1.0 rating“I have her currently she is hard to pass the first two weeks everyone is getting books she doesn't care she goes over the work like if you bought the book the first day she gives pop quizzes and her first test is worth 150 points and if you get below that you basically won't pass even if you do good on everything else DONT TAKE HER”

good teacher and very helpful
She teaches very very fast. you have pop quizes all the time. she would teach 1 or 2 lesson in one day and she would come to class the next they and tell us we have a quiz. so you don't have time to learn the stuff,either you get it or don't.I drop w/ a W
she teaches very fast and u dont have time to study. even if u do homework it has to be very very neat, clear, right and even if u get the right answer but in a different way she will still say u did it wrong. no matter what u do its wrong for her.
Teaches very quickly and you do a 1-2 chapters a day. She also constantly gives pop quizes. Because she lectures the full period it's hard to get her to stop to explain something more slowly. Would not recommend if you are not a "math person."
i actualy had to drop her class because she taught so fast...and i had never dropped a class before
Never again
i hate her... she's one of those teacher's that's very nice about givin u an F...and then she'll give u this smile that makes you want to poke her eyes out.
Make sure u do all the work completely on the book she will not accept paper work.also check 4 ,mistakes or she'll return it back to you. Overall she's an okay teacher but really boring
she is incredibly straightforward. if you do your work you will do well. She can get very mad at people for disrupting class but i actually came to appreciate that she was strict. i recommend her class!
Horrible horrible teacher. Taught super fast and lots of pop quizzes. I had to drop her class and it was the first time I ever had to drop.
she is not helpful AT ALL! she just expects you to know everything. doesn't offer help. and the tests are very hard. take this teacher if you want to fail.

She doesn't explain things very well in class, but if you go to her office hour she will break it down as much as you ask her to. You MUST do the HW or you are screwed. Tests are hard, cuz you actually have to know the material, but if you work hard in the class she will grade you fairly.
For this particular class, she was very clear. I found her patient, yet strict when necessary. I don't understand why so many students give poor ratings because a class is difficult. Teachers are supposed to challenge students, not "hand out" good grades.
What are all of these people talking about?? She is a great teacher who is unbelievably clear and organized. You will really learn from her.
She teaches too quickly and doesn't really repeat things. She expects her students to know what she's talking about and doesn't really review much. She has this mean shark's smile that drove me nuts, too. I'm slow at math though, so maybe it was me.
booooooooooooooooooooooo!
Teaches way too fast, even if the class doesn't understand the material. Told me to drop after 3 weeks cuz I was failing -- she didn't want to help me.
She is an excellent instructor, she has a lot of patience and is very clear when teaching. She makes the class fun, I would love for her to be my math instructor again.
Teaches way too fast, even when the class can't keep up. She wouldn't tutor me. RUN LIKE THE PLAGUE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!
BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD. I don't know what that other guy was thinking. Mrs. Rudin is the best. She's even patient with students who ask dumb questions. She's very helpful and will tutor you during her office hours. I found her class to be FUN and INSTRUCTIVE. If you want to learn and are willing to work, she's the one.
She is a very enthusiastic, supportive teacher and caring teacher! She really helped me when I was having trouble. I want to take more classes with her.
good teacher , explains good, a little hard.
shes very sweet but she does not know her stuff too well. loves to use calculators. less intense than tishler but tishler knows his stuff much much better.
very helpful, very clear, nice person.
Her class is straight forward, yet challenging at times. She is a great math teacher with lots of patience and she knows her stuff.
She is awesume. Take her you won't regret it.
She is so nice. I was having a lot of trouble in calculus and she really helped me and tutored me during her office hours. She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. I wish she was teaching calc 2.
very good teacher. she is helpful & will not tell you any more infomation then you need to know to solve the problem. wont confuse you. must do homework & test arn't as hard as she makes them seem.
Mrs. Rudin is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is sweet and smart. She explains the course in a way that everybody understands. It's a joy to learn from her.
i took her calculus 1 class.good teacher.very helpful,but the test are hard and the lecture was so boring.i don't like the way she grade me.QUIZ IS GOLD...!!!
Great teacher; clear lectures; tests are hard but not impossible. Just study and do all the homework and you should do well. She is very easy to get help from too.
Do not take her. She does not teach well and the tests are vary hard. I got an A but I don't recommend her.
One of the nicest, most patient instructors I've had. She answers any questions you ask, and makes sure you understand before going on. She doesn't rush through things. I'm not great at math so I only got a "C" in her class, but it was not because she didn't teach well or explain properly. Math just doesn't seem to adhere to my memory cells.
I do not recommend her at all. Her tests are very hard and the online tests she does not help with very well. But I do agree that she does good lectures.
she is the worst person i have ever met...has some kind of passive aggresive attitude...her class is worthles..her lectures are worthless..and she even said, and i quote "calculus is all guessing" she couldnt even explain why a slope is conitnuous when o is in the demonitaor of a fraction. her tests are usless, and she should be fired immediately

she is sucks...don't even think to take her
i could honestly say 1 good thing about this class; the morning air is fresh when walking to it.
i think i speak for everyone in my class when i say she sucks...no extra credit..she assigns hw but never checks it or gives points...each test has like 5 questions that are each worth 20 points... i seriously have never hated a teacher sooo much...trust me take someone else!
do not take her, trust me it is not a good idea, no partial credit and if you show your work she checks to see if you made a mistake with that even if you have the right answer, yes, she is sucks
DON'T EVEN THINK TO TAKE THIS TEACHER.THE WAY SHE GRADES IS SUPER DUPER SUCKS.SHE TEACHES LIKE EVERYONE HAS ALREADY UNDERSTOOD IT.THE TEST IS NOT REALLY HARD AND NOT REALLY EASY.THE QUIZ IS EASY BUT SHE WILL NOT TELL U WHEN THE QUIZ IS.
She is horid!!! She does not teach and she hates answering questions!!! She knows less than the students in her class!!! Do not take her!!! Out of our whole class less than 15 kids passed!

She is very helpful. Just come to class and listen to herlectures and do the homework and you'll be fine.
easy online class. great teacher. tests are online in class. same as homework. do homework=get a good grade.
She's a really good teacher. You don't find too many teachers who can teach and explain things very clearly. She's a great teacher, but her tests are medium-hard. She's very helpful during her office hours, and also before and after class.
she is great at explaining. this is the first time i understand the material. she is very helpful also
She's very clear and helpful. As long as you do the homework, the tests and quizzes will be easy.
This might be the best math teacher I'd had. She is very concise and VERY helpful. She does her best to try everything to help you understand a concept. I just wish she would teach Math 125.
The best math professor I have ever had, period. If you're interested in actually learning mathematical concepts, and not just getting some credit, Prof. Rudin is excellent! Be prepared to... be prepared. The subject is not easy, but the prof can make it a joy.
she is such a helpful teacher!!...i loved her..when i had a question, she always helped me!!...all the homework in online and i had a test every wed. of the week!....but she was helpful!
horrible teacher. never take it with her. instant F.
it's all perfect. as long as you attend the class and do your homeworks you'll get an A in this class. she is very good in teaching, very helpful and clear.
I love her! She is very helpful and nice. As long as you do all your homework and attend classes, you cannot have any problems with her. She is very patient and explains everything you need to know. I couldn't have chosen a better Math teacher!
She will nickel and dime you out of points. She is the only professor who has ever given me a C, GPA 3.6. She will stand between you and your grade. She should go teach elementary school with all of her group projects and cookie day. If you are a grown man you will not enjoy this class. Passive agressive is right.
If you want to get definitions instead of learning how to do the math problems you should definetly take her! Don't be stupid!! Stay away from her! She expects everyone to be at her level! SHe sucks!!!!!!!!
shes great at explaining the material.
she's a very good at explaning the work.
She is crystal clear in her teaching. She is a fair grader when it comes to her exams. I would recommend her to students of all levels of interest in math.
Professor Rudin explained everything clearly. She was happy to help and explain problems. Tests were very similar to the homework questions. I thought she was nice, she made geometry a breeze.
I was failing but she passes me because I asked a lot of questions. She was very helpful and wanted to see me and my fellow classmates to succeed. She seems like a hard ass but once you get past the exterior she is actually really sweet.
Seems like most of the people who hate their teachers, can't keep up, can't spell and don't appreciate education. Yes she's a "Hard Ass" some times but you need that when you teach "children". Half of the comments say she doesn't help and the other half say that she is very helpful? Hmnn... I think she ROCKS! Now we'll see how "Jack" rates...
At first, I thought this class was going to be hard, but it turned out it wasnt. Showing up to class helps. She tells you what will be on the tests and what sections to study. Just Study
AMAZING teacher. Really sweet and helpful - great for someone who doesn't particularly like math.
She is the best math teacher I've ever had. She explains things clearly in class, always answers her e-mails quickly, somehow makes math fun and funny, & her tests are predictable bc they are based on homework. The one thing I wish she did differently was give partial credit on her tests. That would be hard to do though because they are on the comp
Look. I took this teacher a year ago, aced every exam, and got a B at the end of the semester. Very disappointing teacher. Terrible lectures and spends too much time with useless worksheets/real life props to try and explain calculus. Do not take this teacher if you want to learn Calculus. Take Tischler if you want to actually learn Calculus.
She's the WORST teacher ive ever seen in my entire life! Doesn't know anything about the subject she's teaching whatsoever.Im sorry but she's just a #%&@ dumby who just shows easy examples from the book and then gives you hardcore test out of know where.If you're a genius who can do it no matter what then take here! if not you're gonna get an F
Just have pitty on yourself and DO NOT take care, she's just an evil hearted teacher. I cant even call her a teacher cause she doesnt know how to teach!! all she does is read easy examples from the book and give you ridiculas questions on the test. She SHOULD NOT teach calc! she doesnt know anythinbg about it!
She is a very good teacher. Her tests were pretty hard, so you have to study a lot. She is very good at teaching concepts and tries to help whenever possible. I would reccomend her.
She is a good teacher. She will always answer your questions. You must work hard. Gives pop quizzes on the homework. Must do the homework. Tests are not easy, not hard. Just do the homework and ask questions.
She was not able to explain her thoughts very clearly and is not able to answer certain text book questions on command.
Calc2 is hard. Rudin is good. Her final was actually pretty fair. Her tests are harder than her quizzes & the hw. Go to her during office hrs for help! I struggled A LOT in this class but ended up with an A. Compared to other math teachers I think shes pretty good.
Her class is actually fun. Tests are hard but fare. Must do homework. She is great.
shes veery helpful. i go to her office for help everyday. good teacher.
awesome teacher.. she seems really happy about teaching and her enthusiasm infects the class. homework is done on the computer.
you learn alot with rudin :)
Such a great professor. Easy to understand. Attendance is needed in order to understand concepts, however attendance is not mandatory.
if you take this class you must supplement it with outside help. i don't beleive she truly understands math like some professors. she sometimes had a hard time solving problems she had not prepared for. had to drop the class along with 50 percent of the students
I had to drop her class after the first week after getting a D on the first test, and went on to another class where i got an A. Calculus II is hard but she makes it even harder with her ridiculous grading. If you don't make mistakes while doing math, she is the professor for you! If not, get the hell out of there.
Amazing professor! Loves to teach, try to show up to class and have to study. Not an easy class in general, but makes it as easy as possible. Totally recommend her.
She teaches really slow which is annoying for some people, but if you have a laptop like I do then just do the homework in class that way you can ask questions while you are there. I had no hw outside of class and it was pretty easy. I got an A. Ps... Teacher is very sweet but don't give her any bs.
She's a pretty hard professor. Does online homework with only 3 attempts. The third is only worth 60%. Her lectures are short and to the point so try and keep up. Tests are difficult but not impossible. Quizzes are always on what the homework is about. She answers lots of questions but really quickly. Always do the homework when you go home. You will do good if you do.
Prof Rudin obviously cares about how her stdnts lrn, and I lrnd a lot in her class.
She is the BEST professor I've ever had. Yeah she grades down based off mistakes u've made or "non clarity" but it teaches you to perfect the quality of work u produce. (i had an A+ test go down to a mid B for this =) ) She is clear, can slow down and explains in depth the material. Only teacher who bothers sharing the why's and proofs. Nice& cares
Just shows up to class to answer questions and wont let you ask more then one question. does not go over tests! not a good professor for math 125! thinks you should already be able to do it!
Homework is online, and so is the textbook. I don't know what's the deal with online studying, it doesn't help! There's a million problems for each homework section. quiz every week, and the tests are really hard! When I took her class, she did not teach math 125 for a while. maybe that's what.
She was a horrible teacher. Not understanding at all of students who are struggling, she embarrassed me in front of other students because I was having issues with the tests, and told me that there was no point in me continuing to come to class. She told me to drop. Very condescending and rude.
Math 125: She was a great teacher. She'd help you if you were struggling. But if you ask questions from math 115 or prior classes. She has no patience for that. And nor should she.If you know your stuff you should be fine. Only whiners and lazy people hate her class.
Very hard class. Her lectures are rushed so she doesn't really do a lot of examples. Shes available for office hours which is helpful. Gives pop quizzes all the time. Tests are VERY difficult. She doesn't round grades if your borderline, not cool. Barely any extra credit. Recommend if your awesome at math. Otherwise, good luck
I don't recommend her if you're going into engineering fields which require great understanding of math.In fact, she were not able to answer questions smart students asked in our class,nor were she able to answer problems from the text book and had to refer to a book including the solutions to the text book problems.not very hard to get an A though
Prepare for this class to take over your entire life. You will need outside help because shes not the best lecturer. Nitpicks while grading tests. Wouldn't recommend unless you don't have another choice
She's harsh, if you don't rock up to her classes or rock up late, she will keep you in mind. I got an A in this class only because I have done calc before. The most annoying thing is that she gives suprise quizzes, so annoying. her extra credit assignment is impossible. in terms of test.. its actualy easy just dont panic.
Love this teacher. Explains everything. Easy to understand. Do the homework and you should pass.
Rudin rocks! Very helpful and easy to follow her. She explains very well.
I took her for the ASAP community learning program; only lazy and whiners dislike her. If you put in the work, ask questions, form study groups with the outgoing and interested students you will succeed. Thank you Ms. Rudin your class was cool.
Very fast pace. Uses the book a lot. Need to be in class for lectures and pop quizzes. Very thorough with her explanations. Hard grader.
From having so many bad experiences with math professors, Rudin is the best. She explains everything well. Her tests were not too hard. This is not an easy class. You have to work very hard to get a good grade.
great professor.
Great teacher, however in the beginning of the semester she goes by the material quick. She slows down to the material that is important for the MET FINAL EXAM. She's nice and funny. Oh and if you want to do well in her class, do the HW!cant be lazy in this class.she's is the only professor that actually teaches the origins of formulas.
If you want to do well in this class, you can. HW is online and allows you to try each problem until you get it right. There is no reason to get anything less than an A on HW! Math isn't easy for me, but she was very helpful during office hours and is quick to respond to any email questions you may have! First A in math ever! Rudin is great!
I have her currently she is hard to pass the first two weeks everyone is getting books she doesn't care she goes over the work like if you bought the book the first day she gives pop quizzes and her first test is worth 150 points and if you get below that you basically won't pass even if you do good on everything else DONT TAKE HER !
OKAY. So I'm currently taking her class, and let me tell you. If you don't have time to do homework every single day for about 2 hours DO NOT TAKE HER. There are always assignments due at the end of the day and if you don't turn in one assignment you don't get to take a quiz or an exam. If you struggle with math this class is 100% not recommended
Currently taking her online class of Math 125. Gives math projects, homework due 4 days a week, and discussion board. There has been a quiz almost every week and gives about 25-35 questions each HW section. I would not recommend taking her online class as she is not very helpful when you ask for help. Gives the basic responses:tutoring &online help
You can pass this class if you actually do almost all the HW she assigns and make time to study for the tests and quizzes. She doesn't collect HW, but she does go over HW questions you were confused about the next day. Overall, the tests are what makes your grade basically. They're worth 150 points at the beginning(easy ones), then 80 points(hard).
Mrs. Rudin was a great teacher. It's definitely up to you to pass. Take notes, be present, and study a lot. She made me appreciate math ( I used to hate it). Just be organized and study. You'll get the hang of it. ( If she decides to come back)
Very terrible teacher, doesn't give proper lectures and doesn't care if you are confused of left behind. Pop quizzes constantly. Many tests.
Awful professor, really could care less about you and how you progress in the class. If I could just give anyone one piece of advice, it would be to stay as far away as you can from any of the classes she teaches.
The online format is extremely tedious, she would assign a ton of homework and tests within a small window of time to finish it. Contacting her is of no use, because she doesn't care enough to help you. I loved math and by the end of this class I grew to hate it. Avoid this professor, there are far better ones who are willing to help you succeed.
