for her, ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.
This was by far the worst professor I have ever encountered. She was extremely rude, very unhelpful and just not a good teacher. Had I known before I signed up, I would have been better off. Don't take this professer if you can help it.
learned a lot in this course! if you do all the homework you do well in the test. Sit up front in class and participate in class you will do fine with this professor.
this person is a miserable ****. never take her course.
Worst experience of my life, i would not recomend this class or teacher, trust me!
Don't ever take this course, you'll have to withdraw like I did. such a waste of time!
rude person, better then other teachers at makin you learn stuff though. Very unapproachable, best classes youll have is when her husband comes in and teaches for her...he's nice and deserve better
WOW DO I HATE THIS WOMAN!!! this beastly woman is a very unhappy person and likes to take it out on anyone who dares ask a question or make a mistake. dont say i didnt warn you
ok so she is a bit of a miserable ****, but if u do just SOME problems from the h/w the tests are SO easy. she doesnt try to trick u or make them hard, she goes so easy on tests, you would think otherwise. Just dont try to make friends with her, shes not very friendly. And damn her booty is huge. Shes an eye sore.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She is a liar and a cheater. I have never had a teacher who cheated before. She marks you wrong even on proven correct answers. The quiz's are given at the END of the CLASS each night. Picture sitting through 2 and 1/2 hours of lecture and then being given a test at 9pm at night based on work you did 2 weeks prior.
easy class, maybe easier than high school precal class, Try and get this teacher, she is probably one of the easiest teachers. Easy A
I've A+s in all my classes including this one HOWEVER- I study 17 hours per week just for this class "YES 17 hours". It is week #10 and we are on page 430. Ever do 43 pages of math a week? Like others I too have had several 'proven' correct answers marked wrong. 1/3 of the class has already dropped out. Don't take her classes.
She gives ten quizzes, and eight count, but the quiz average only counts for 1/4 of your grade. The final and 2 tests count for the other parts of the course. She marks you wrong when you are right, and expects you to be at every class even if you're dying. Gave me a C+ when my quiz average was a 88. I hated this class. Goodluck if you take it
This teacher SUCKS!!! All she does is put you down if you ask a question, and she only lets you have 1 UNEXCUSED absence.. after that it's 2pts each time off you FINAL grade! She wants you to be there on your death bead, it won't make a difference to her! Don't take this class if you want a hag for your teacher! Best of Luck!
Material is easy as pie. But she is completely horrid of a teacher. I am in total 100% agreement with the others. I read here before her class and now I see why she's got such a crappy rating. Avoid her if possible! She took a point off for something non-math related and after confronting her she attacked me! Teacher has a severe temper!
She is a very rude person. Never smile or joke in class, and she has no personality.
This was the worst teacher I have ever had. She would ask if anyone had questions and when I would ask her a question she would yell at me. I told her that I didn't understand how to do the problem and she told me there is nothing to understand you just do it. She is a witch and shouldn't be teaching. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!
*** THE WORST TEACHER EVER!!!***,do not take precal with her. She is rude and incomprehensible. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!. you've been warned.
Weston is really nice. You have to go to class - only 1 excused absence. Work is pretty easy. She doesn't collect homework but does expect you to do it.
I don't recommend this teacher at all. You are better off taking professor Stick for Pre-calc. The material is somewhat easy, but she does a poor job teaching it. Making it harder and confusing. In class she really isn't helpful either. She is very rude to the students and doesn't act accordingly as a teacher should. Overall the class isn't bad.
Ms. Weston is a great math teacher. She really knows her stuff. If you have taken pre-calc in highschool, then this class should be a breeze. Homework is given, but not collected. Attendance is mandatory, but she'll add 2 points to your overall semester grade if you don't miss a class! Pretty easy class.
I will admit ONE thing... she can explain the material well... But there is absolutely no other redeeming quality about this woman. She grades VERY unfairly on tests... She is terribly rude and is pretty useless if you need help. She encourages you to ask questions then criticizes your question and doesn't even ANSWER it.
She grades OUTRAGEOUSLY harsh and is HORRIBLE at teaching. If you don?t already know the material, you still won?t. I was a Dean's List student and am now happy to get a D. I didn?t learn anything from this class. Attendance is required and penalized heavily when you don?t attend. Don?t take this class with this teacher! I hear her husband is good.
If you have already taken precalc or calc in high school then her class will be very easy, she only collects like 2 of the hws so you can get away w/o doing it. she is mean though, but if you really try and ask for help she will let you do extra credit. overall okay
I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Yes, she makes you attend class. No, she wont pass you if you dont know your stuff but she does a great job of explaining things. she asks what you need help with. i also have never heard her talk down to a student even when they ask stupid questions. i learned a lot from her actually. she is helpful
I had her for Precalc. For the most part, she is a pretty miserable teacher. She can be sarcastic when you ask a question, making you feel like an idiot for asking anything. It's obvious that she knows what she's talking about, but she is not a great teacher by any means.
that class is simple if you putthe time in. and i dont know what some of youare saying. She's the fairest grader ve ever had. if you pay attentionand arent afraid to ask quetions you'll be fine.
Horribe professor. Grades horribly harsh. No sense of humor. If you ask a question she belittles you. Take this class with Professor Stick. Sooo much better. I got a C with this woman in precalc and got an A- with Stick in calc. Stick actually wants you to pass his class and will answer your questions w/o making fun of you.
She is a very mean and ugly wrinkly obese woman. Allowed one absence per semester. She is OCD about being late too. Very rude to students when they make a simple mistake. ("How could you not understand this it's so easy!") She never did anything to me personally but I was overall very unhappy with being in the same room as her. pre-c was still EZ.
This teacher is by far the worst teacher i have ever encountered in my my career as a student. She is rude selfish and does not care about the welfare of the students. If you have a question she chirps you as if you are a two year old and are useless. She allows one absence and wont let you make up a missed quiz or pass in homework even if you are in the hospital. She is a JOKE and a half. Dont take this class if you want you pass. Shes not even a real professor she's part time aka no benefits!
Returning Adults or those who care about getting a good education and really want to learn: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PROFESSOR! She is extremely rude, verbally abusive to students, sets her students up for failure, and just doesn't care about offering any help or support.I don't know why she chose teaching. She clearly hates her job.
TERRIBLE, AWFUL, THE WORST..25 people started in our class. Only 3 finished. Does that make her a fair teacher?
horrible person. all i will tell you is i missed one class due to medical condition, showed up at the next class with a doctors note, and she said in front of the whole class "it doesn't matter, it's not like you have any chance at passing this class, anyway." Horrible professor, extremely rude and unprofessional. she needs to be fired.
If you have this woman, swap your class immediately unless you want to really work hard to pass. Calc is tough, but she makes it harder, she is not helpful, she constantly asks if there are questions and then is very condescending when you ask a question. Also she is very rushed, always in a bad mood and never empathetic towards students. Avoid her
I have read the negative comments, but I think she is a good teacher, if you put the work in... If you're looking for an easy A, this is not the class for you. If you pay attention, take notes, participate in class and do your homework, you'll have no problems. I would take her class again.
Very rude and not helpful in the slightest. Yelled at a student for coughing during an exam. Outright does not care about the student which is huge issue.
This teacher is the absolute worst teacher I have ever taken in my 17 years of learning! She is very very rude and it is impossible to ask a question, unless you dont mind getting embarrased or feel stupid. She sets her students up for failure. She tries tricking her students on quizes, because its not already hard enough right? Dont bother! 3/10
This teacher is horrible! Please do not take her at any cost! She is very very rude and miserable. I asked to visit during office hours twice and she wasnt available. Quizez are nothing like homework. Yells at students for asking questions. I honestly dont know how she still has her job. Good luck if you are in her class. Transfer out if not late.
She is intimidating and can be rude, but it all depends on the students. If you get to class on time, do your work, and participate, you will definitely get an A. She is very straightforward when teaching the material. I loved having her as a professor. You will learn a lot, but you really have to put in the effort. She can be a very nice woman.
Wicked easy if you take notes and show up to class. Notes are exact questions on quizzes and exams. Don't expect a cake walk, just showing up won't get you a good grade but being a student will get you an A. I feel behind and half way through the semester had an F but still ended up with a B+. Def take her
Mixed bag. Lectures are not extremely helpful and she will defer you to the tutor instead of offering help. Class is not necessarily difficult, but it's certainly not easy. Show up everyday and do all the homework, you can get a respectable B. Just don't expect too much help from the teacher.
This teacher is a misogynist. She lives to insult her students . I dropped her and requested a refund after 2 weeks.
Mrs. Weston seems to not like college students and treats them as if they are children.
It is Calculus if you don't get it, it doesn't matter who the teacher is its going to suck. Having said that she does her best to make sure students do well in her class. She is a bit old school but if you do the homework, and take notes you will get a good grade.
I haven't taken any math courses for over 10 years. She said I wasn't going to do well in this class and that I should take fundamentals of algebra because I got everything on the placement test wrong. Her teaching style is horrible. You're better off learning from Youtube. It takes 10 minutes on youtube and 3 hrs of hell in her class.
Excellent teacher but the subject material is difficult if you are not up to speed already on algebra. Ms. Weston works very hard to help students do well. Her tests are fair and she covers the material before the tests. Attend class and the homework and you will learn the material and do well. But it took 4 hrs each week to do the homework
Her quizzes are really difficult. She moves very fast and you can't ask questions in class. I wouldn't take her again. She only teaches in the morning because she isn't around the rest of the day so you can't meet with her for help unless you come at 8am. I had her with Calc 1B.
WORST TEACHER in the school system. Students ask questions and she makes them feel stupid for asking. Once she said, "did you try the help me solve this" "yes" "did you try the tutoring center" "yes" "Ok well I don't have time to answer your question in class" Save yourself. Do not take her class avoid at all costs.
Not helpful, if you get lost or confused she won't take the time to help you understand the material. She gives tests/quizzes on material at the end of class AFTER 2 weeks of additional material that's NOT on these exams, which fills your mind with new material that you won't use for 2 weeks. I dropped the class and will no take her again.
compared to a lot of people here that have taken her class, i personally enjoyed having her as an instructor. she definitely gives off this mean, rude old lady appearance, but i found her to be extremely sweet and helpful during lectures. her class is very fast paced, which i liked. the only downside is that she makes you submit work for the hw.
I personally do not find professor Weston to be all that bad. She works through various examples of problems and if you don't understand something, it is best to ask her outside of class. If you do the homework, show up to class, and study your notes you will be fine.
The woman is frustrating. She is very strict and ask for extra work which at some points seem very ridiculous. I would never take another one of her classes and she is the sole reason I will do my best to check RateMyProfessor before I make my schedule.
Terrible i took calc in high school & I think she made me worse shes the if i start at 801am & ur not there she marks you absent. Grades Extremely heavy even if u get the right answer on a quiz (which are 2 problems usually) she takes off points for not doing it her way
She is not a good professor, academically we would rush through chapters and she gives an attitude if you simply ask for help. I see the way she treated some students and simply it just is not helpful. I was struggling with calc and a tutor was better than her.
If you enjoy writing example problems from the book down for 4 hours a week, doing hours of homework, taking 1 question quizzes, taking tests outside class times, having a teacher who is very rude and makes faces when you ask questions, take this class!!! Hands down worst class I have ever taken. 10/10 would NOT reccomend
Very unenthusiastic professor. This was the one class where I have despised the professor and the teaching style. We are told to ask questions but when someone happens to ask one she basically calls you stupid for not knowing the answer to the question. If you rely on learning through doing examples on your own, good luck!
Treats you like high school students but gives you a lot of work.
Legit the worst professor I've had so far. Don't even bother asking for help, she'll just yell at you. Grading wise, she'll take points off for not doing the work her way. TBH, I hate the entire Calc department. Don't take any calc classes, they're all scrubs. But if you HAVE to, don't take Weston.
she's the worst professor I've ever seen in my lifetime. No matter how good you are in calculus you'll still struggle. Don't bother listening in class because you won't still learn anything, you're better off watching ten minute youtube videos.
worst professor, only commenting to safe a life. lots of assignments and listening in class is pointless. getting taught by a brick wall is would have been better.
if i had to guess, the worst calc professor at this school
I had her for Calc 1a, I felt almost afraid of asking questions. She was very blunt and rude, and didn't teach the subjects very well.
Won't let you ask questions during the lesson. Struggles with understanding students
shes kinda rude and dodges a lot of questions/also does not really go into depth when explaining
She can be pretty rude and bad with technology but she teaches the material very well. Quizzes were ungraded and she offered two extra credit assignments during the semester to help our test grade. First test was curved because most people did poorly on it.
Very hard to understand, is not a fan of receiving questions and is very monotone it is very hard to stay awake.
I don't know why Professor Weston is so poorly rated, but she's a good professor. She makes you purchase a $88 course for homework and has weekly tests, but they are all meant for you to learn calculus. She's soft-spoken, and I have NEVER seen her snap at anyone, as many people have complained here. You also get unlimited tries with your homework.
Weston wasn't as bad as the people on this page said she was. She seemed to care about student's success and she was fairly nice. She does a lot of examples in class. I liked how the homework was set up because you can get as many tries as you want and if you get stuck, there's a button that helps you solve the problem.
Gets irrationally angry when you ask questions, reads off of a paper, practically teaching off of a powerpoint, this class is just a vessel for you to teach yourself, pray that you dont have a question or she will beam down on you with disrespect.
She was so rude to anyone who asked a question like they should already know the answer. I've already seen her snap at multiple kids and I'm still in the first month. Worst math professor I've ever had the unpleasure of having.
Offended when people ask questions and seems to hate teaching. Please save yourself and find a different professor.
She literally hates teaching. She is the only professor that gives both paper and online homework, She does NOT go over anything in class. She prewrites all the notes in illegible cursive and if you ask a question, she will shame you in the middle of the lecture. She is a case for tenure going away.
Expect an absurd amount of homework and getting side glanced if you show up even a minute late. Take's her job too seriously.
Prof. Weston is incredibly unprofessional and will find anything to complain about you if you do the slightest wrong thing. Also forget about going to the bathroom in the first 30 minutes of class because she will mark you late. She is incredibly monotone and all her notes are in cursive so good luck staying awake and/or reading anything in class.
Its honestly surprising on terrible Weston is at her job. She doesn't even teach, she just reads from her notes written in 1920s cursive, that consists of writing from the textbook, and the practice problems. The only reason I passed was because I took Calc in high school. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!!
All notes are in cursive and can be difficult to read, and she sometimes gets upset if you ask questions in class. If you approach her after class for help she will give individual attention, and she is fairly clear about what will be on tests and quizzes. Just pay attention and give your best and you will do fine.
She's a hardball; won't hesitate to call out students or make borderline rude remarks. She's the most nit-picky grader I've ever known. DO NOT USE L'HOPITAL'S RULE! If you don't use the exact method she teaches, the answer might as well be wrong. Be prepared to spend more time writing pristine scratch work than answering questions on tests.
This broad has no respect for her students. Cursive + calc is coocoo banana lands.
Pros -Grades tests/quizzes fairly quickly -Accessible outside of class Cons -Talks incredibly slowly, class is a complete drag -Unbelievably condescending and rude toward students who ask questions she thinks they should already know -Reviews test answers before actually giving tests back -Didn't give an answer key for final exam practice problems
I watched organic chemistry tutor during her lectures.
I have never had a teacher get so offended for asking questions. She makes students feel bad for asking questions and then gets mad when no one has a question. I suggest watching YouTube videos after her class since she does not teach well.
Candice Weston is a nice woman but a terrible teacher. She is helpful if you need help outside of class but don't expect to get anything out of her lectures.
She is so objective in her grading that she'll take points off for missing equals signs on scratch work or "not neat" scratch work. Her quizzes are nothing like the notes, which are unreadable pre-written cursive notes. She yells at you for asking questions. Told me to get tested for a mental disability because I couldn't do integrals.
