Carla Hill's pre-calc class should be a piece of cake if you are good with math. However, if you struggle with the subject, avoid it because her in class reviews are very unclear.

She is a great professor. very understanding if you are going through a difficult time. Gives test corrections to boost your grade too! If you are looking for a math class to take for your core, take this! it is a lot of assignments but they do not take long.

DO NOT take Carla hill. she assigns an insane amount of work and doesn't grade any of it until many weeks after. The workload is a lot and she also doesn't explain why she does the problem the way she did, she just does it and expects us to know how. every WEEK you have classwork, chapter project, preclass assessment, and Wiley plus assignments.

I am not learning anything as well as many other of my peers in class since we all have a group chat. Notes do not really pair well with what we learn. I am glad we get a chance to earn points back bc trust me you will need it. Class is very boring. I can't tell if she knows how lost everyone is sometimes. Wouldn't recommend. At least she's nice.

In my honest opinion, Professor Hill as a person is amazing. So caring, understanding, and really wants to see you succeed. She is available outside of classes which is really good to take advantage of. The course was a little dragging because lectures can get pretty monotonous. She doesn't quite explain the material, just repeats the textbook.

From what I've heard, she's the best in the stat department at marist. She's also very nice and an easy grader on tests. There's LOTS of HW. She lets you bring in-cheat cheats for exams but honestly, if you don't know the material then they're not that helpful.

This was a hybrid class so she posted the lectures to ilearn and we just worked on problems during class and she went through them at the end. She's always accessible during her office hours are many different times if you need help though. Lots of homework even for a hybrid class I felt. She drops a few low grades from each grading category.

Prof. Hill was the best math teacher I've ever had. Def recommend taking her for stats. I've never been a math person, but she explains everything very well for the most part. She gives a lot of HW, but if you're worried about how you will do on tests, you have those other assignments to help boost your grade.

Considering this is the easiest math class offered at Marist, you would think it wouldn't be my most work heavy class of the semester. Insane amount of homework (at least 4 assignments a week that take 30min-1hr each). Never grades quickly. Teaches material on Statkey but doesn't allow Statley on quizzes. Take another prof. if you can.

The class was pretty easy, but there are homeworks and pre-class assessments (just more homework tbh) due before every class, which she grades strictly, which can be annoying. But the tests aren't bad, because we get to bring in a sheet with anything we want to write down to help us on the test, and we get test corrections.

I had to take this stats class for my major, loved her as a person, not so much as a teacher. She messes up the number when doing calculations sometimes making her lessons hard to follow. She will tell you, you need a 4 function calculator (+, -, x, /), when in reality you will need something to square and square root in later classes as a warning.

Professor Hill is very nice and the class is easy. However she gives out lots of assignments each week. There are 5 exams, 2 weekly HW assignments, 2 weekly preclass assignments, chapter projects, reflection papers and a final presentation. You can use calculators and tests are open notes. Its an easy A if you pay attention and do all the work.
