She knows her stuff to begin with and definitely knows how to teach. I learned so much from her and she made math concepts simpler. It's a tough class, however.Alot of studying but if your a math person then you will be fine. It must have been hard for me because I dislike math. Overall, if you are up for alot of homework and studying,takethis clas

Thought the class would be easy A, but i was wrong. You have to actually study every night and do the Test review homework. If you're a lazy student who's average at math, expect a low grade. You're going to have to work hard to earn that A. Prepare to fail the first exam. Half the kids drop the Math class due to how hard it was.

I definitely regret taking this course with her. She made it way harder than it needed to be. The syllabus doesn't mean much as she just tossed an exam at the end because we didn't have time (due partly to the fact that she is very unorganized and shuffling through teaching four courses) Homework and exams are returned a week later if we're lucky

She prevents students from seeing their grades on Canvas and she's very particular with the amount of work you have to show on assignments.

She goes over so much material in such little time and it gives students barely any time to understand it. Also, if you missed a class, there was no effort from her side to help you. Homework/assignments are very time consuming and she doesn't even allow you to see what your grade is throughout the semester. Super strict classroom rules as well.

By far the worst professor I've ever had. Hates everyone in her class. Very tough grader (if you have a minor calculation error, don't expect to do well on the question). 80 % of the content doesn't even appear in her mid terms. She's also just straight up rude, yells at people even if they're challenged. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS

All these reviews are very dramatic. She seems a little harsh and rude but talking to her one on one she is actually nice and cares about your success. The only reason she seems that way is during lecture is because she wants to get through all the material so we can do well on exams. Homework load is heavier, but helpful. Not that bad overall

I really don't understand these reviews. She is an amazing professor, sure in the beginning you may feel intimidated but she truly wants the best for her students and will answer any question until you get it. Exams were very specific and easy to lose points but the final is easier than the exams. Homework really boosts your grade. I recommend her!

Somewhat unapproachable. One-on-one, she's much more helpful than in the lecture. While her lectures were required, I found myself learning through the textbook, with her lectures almost being counterproductive to my learning. Not as evil as some of these other reviews suggest, but definitely among the worst learning experiences I've ever had.

She's a tough grader, doesn't allow group work, gives unclear lectures, barely relates anything in class to the quizzes or exams, and her written feedback is hard to read or understand.

If I could rate her a 0/5 I would. You will never in your life meet a professor as rude as Ms. H. Not only does she not answer your questions, but also LOVES to correct you when you are saying the right answer! Also, if you answer a question on the test that isn't EXACTLY LIKE her answer sheet - you might as well have left it blank. AVOID!!!!

Her teaching style is extremely outdated and she refuses to branch out and try new things. Shes not passionate about teaching and it shows, her lectures are unclear, the work load is unnecessarily heavy, and the homework never relates to anything you might see on a test or quiz. Rendering it virtually useless. If you can, avoid taking her class!!!

The homework was fine and manageable, but she was also a tough grader. Tests were graded harshly and inconsistently, making her easily the worst test grader I've ever had. Beyond that, she was rude, not empathetic, and often disrespectful toward students. Even with effort, her attitude made the class feel hostile and discouraging. DO NOT TAKE!!!

I HATE HER. If you are reading this PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. I tried so hard to get an A in her class, and I ended with a super high A- which she refuses to curve or give any extra credit to help me cross her high 93% threshhold she put for an A. When she is grading something she finds ANY way to take off points, even when you have it right.

She was at most passive aggressive, but honestly respectful. Despite that, she made me deprived of any ounce of hope or confidence in my life. I would be the one in class who answers questions and sits up front, studying for hours every day. No matter how much I tried, I always failed. By the grace of God the final exam helped my grade.
