Professor Sampson is an excellent teacher. You don't need the book, but the CD's are defiantly a must. More of a hands on training with presentations via Powerpoint, listening and so forth. If you pay attention to both the Professor and Powerpoints/Material, you will have a great time. She is a music major so she knows what she is talking about.

Ms. Sampson is very rounded in her subject matter. I learned more music history than i though possible. She is very easy also, her quizzes are so easy they're dumb. It helps if you have a little musical background. She only requires two concert reports and a research paper on any topic in music. She's a good teacher.

At the beginning, I enjoyed her class. Her long powerpoints are boring and I ended up dreading going to this class. She stays until the FINAL minute even if the last part of her lesson is a child's video. It's an easy A. The quizzes are dumb/easy. I recommend her but get ready for a boring class. She lets students sleep. Take advantage of that.

Professor Sampson makes MAC1105 simple and easy. The class while being mostly online is laid back and at your own pace. Professor Sampson is usually always available if the student has a question about an assignment, and is willing to help out. I will be taking Professor Sampson again in the spring semester, this time for Statistics (STA2023).

Professor Sampson is as easy of an A that you're gonna get. The quizzes are exactly like the homework and the midterm and final are exactly like the quizzes. Everything is open book and not timed. Attendance wasn't mandatory but class time was when extra credit was available. She also gave 10 late passes, but try to not fall too far behind.

We used lumen for our homework. On tests and quizzes you were given three tries for each answer and it would tell you if you were correct right away, and you got 10 late passes for the entire year. She offered many extensions and is just overall very nice. She is also very LGBTQ+ friendly and always respected my pronouns, I literally love her!

If you struggle with math, Prof. Sampson's class is perfect. She is clear in her expectations, provides video tutorials that help SO much, she's easy to reach when you need anything, and gives "late passes" that you can use on assignments you're struggling with to get more time. I wish I could have taken her again for my next math course.

Professor Sampson was incredibly kind. I took her 7A course, and it was definitely busy but only because that's how any 7-week course works.
