I hated that class. One little mistake and you dont receive credit for the entire homework. The homework will take 2-3 hours to complete for one chapter. Do one mistake and you wasted that time. Test are different from the homework and lecture and most likely you'll fail a couple. It is a time consuming class. Plus her lecture is boring as heck.

The plus side: she is a VERY good teacher, she takes time to explain everything very thoroughly and is very sweet. Minuses: Her tests are not mulitiple choice, they are all handwritten. So if you do not understand the material, u cannot fake it. She assigns a lot of HW (everynight) and it is EVERY odd,not every other) so it is time consuming.

The truth is, her lectures do go incredibly fast. What often happens is that you understand the material in class, but once you go to do the homework, you're completely lost. This is because she teaches you how to do the math, but doesn't teach you how to read the problems, which is problematic for those of us that are bad with word problems.

She doesn't even grade and return the homework before you take the test. So then you end up taking the test and getting a bunch wrong because you don't know if you are even doing it correctly or not. Ridiculous

Awesome teacher. She breaks down how to do everything Barney style. You have to attend the lectures but she gives you the short version of how to do things so it's way easier than trying to read. The reviews for each test prepare you to get an A. Extra credit is given for doing all the homework for a chapter. Best math teacher I've ever had.

One of the best math teachers I've had. Teaches straight to the point and breaks it down easily. Attendance is a must, you miss one day, and don't understand a section, the next sections will be confusing. So much extra credit, you get 10 points for each test by just doing the HW. Got over a 100 percent in the class & didn't have to take the final.

I took the hybrid class and she was easily accessible for questions via email. Very clear communicator and helpful. If you ever needed help in any area she would make herself available. Great teacher who cares about her students. Don't procrastinate - do the work, it can be a lot if you stay on top of it. I wouldn't call it an easy class.

Dr. Curtis is the best! She teaches step by step like you're in HS. She assigns a lot of homework, but if you do all your hw, she gives you a 10% boost on exams! Her ch. reviews are exactly like the exams, just with different Q's and A's. She makes everything easy, BUT you have to work for your A. Do your HW & attend class! You will pass.

she did a lot of lectures and tests. but she gives cheat sheets where you could literally fill up the paper with whatever you wanted. some people even wrote down the questions to the hw onto the cheat sheet because the examples are nearly the same. missing one day is like missing a month's work because you can and most likely will fall behind. $

Lots of homework because it is a math class. Helpful in office hours and ETC was my lifeline. Don't miss too much class because it's where you learn how to do the work. Tests every other week, do the hw you get a 10% boost and she drops the lowest score at the end of semester. Ask for help and you'll pass the class -coming from a non math person.

Theres lots of homework. Way to many problems for the assignments she assigns. Must show up in order to understand the lessons. She also tends to go on tangents about problems and they take way longer than they should. Tests can be pretty difficult as they are often a little different than the study guide.

Dr. Curtis is an amazing professor. Im not the biggest fan of math, but she truly made it fun and easy. Her exams are literally the study guide (obviously different numbers). She also offers 10% extra credit on each exam if you do all the hw. This basically means that if you get an 80% on an exam and you did all the hw, you now will receive a 90%!

Had this class last spring semester during the transition from in class to online. I prefer this class to be easier online than in class. She post lectures that are available to students during their own time. Zoom class was not required. The homework is very time consuming, so don't wait last minute to do the assignments the day before it's due.

Just horrible. Gives no time for students in other classes to do their work because homework is constantly a lot. I can say her lecture videos are okay, she just doesnt have well timing. Not really any zooms either, making the class asynchronous. Its hard when its all online so zooms would really help at this point. Wouldnt sign up for her.

I took her online class last semester, but it wasn't a great experience. Her lectures are okay, albeit a bit long, but anytime I had questions she was very dismissive. Communication from her wasn't great. Taking tests required us to be watched, and the program used was very invasive and unreliable. I wouldn't recommend.

She is a professor that obviously knows her craft. However, her teaching style is a little old school and very fast paced. She's not bad but if Math isn't your strength, i would look for another professor, or just take her class itself a semester. Got 2 have webcam on during test. she drops lowest score, excluding the final. Go to ETC if u can!

Idk y her rating is so low, she is amazing. For every test, you get a printer paper (front and back). She gives out study guides that are the same as the test, just with different numbers. If you get 70% on each assignment for the unit, you get an extra 10% on your test. I had a 104% at the end and didn't have to take the final to finish with an A.

There was an exam for every unit. I liked this b/c I learned the material in a week & had a test on it the same/next week. There was also hw for every unit and if you earned 70% on the hw you would gain an extra 10% on the tests. Weekly tests were mostly MCQ. 1 page of notes was allowed. She is also very understanding if you communicate with her.

1000% take this class. If you do the homework every week she adds an extra 10% to every test. For chapter 9 she replaced our lowest grade with what we got, and also dropped our lowest test score at the end of semester. You can tell she is a passionate teacher I'm surprised she doesn't have a 5/5. A very soft spoken teacher, but try not to be late
