Very good class, excellent teacher!
Excellent Teaching style. Strongly Recomended.
Miss Griffin is a great teacher, and is very helpful. She is a very good person. You should take her class, if you have problems with math!!
Does a very good job in explaining the subject matter. Very helpful, and cares for all her students.
I am not a big Math fan, but Miss Griffin, made this class enjoyable, and helped me understand the material.
Was a Great Class. Learned alot
This was the easiest class if you just listen and learn from the teacher, she makes it so easy to do good.
Catherine is a great teacher. I dont like math at all, but she made it really easy to learn for me.
EXCELLENT TEACHER! I have math anxiety and she explained everything clearly. Helps out all her students. She has a very good sense of humor! Makes u want to attend class everyday so u dont miss a moment of her! Her tests are easy as long as u do the homework. Well organized class setting.
i agree with everyone above ;o) shes great
An awesome teacher!
Took 107 with Catherine several years ago. Very good instructor, encourages group participation, more than willing to go out of her way to help with a very difficult subject.
one of the best teachers ever!!!
She is the best math teacher! I never understood math before taking it with her! I got a C in high school and I have an A in her class!
Very easy class, even if math doesn't come easy to you she helps a lot
Catherine was a GREAT teacher. You cannot go wrong with taking her class.
She uses a point scale that counts attendance points. Uses group teaching method, and teaches material quickly. Over all is a good teacher, will help during office hours if needed
Very easy class. She made it easy to get a good grade, as long as you come to class. Very helpful. Had study guides that were very similar to tests.
She teaches math her own way, and covers the chapters very qucikly. She is not understanding ..so if you're late don't come to class. She is one of the worst teachers I have ever had (REALLY!!!)
Completed ****! Our Homework Covers Nothing We Recieve In The Lesson/Notes...Teaches New Material Before We Get Tosted On The Old****! Terrible Mean Person...Do Not Take!!!!
Horrible women and teacher! does not teach the material lectures for two hours a day and items in the book are not even similar to those in her useless hour lecture...mean cold hearted person!
Best math teacher I have ever had. Lets you take quizzes w/ your group...very interesting approach to math...she has great methods to help you LEARN the material and makes math fun! first A i have ever gotten in a math class...also gives extra credit for practice tests...everyone in my group got an A!!
Greatest math teacher i have ever had!! She uses practicle aproches for all she teaches. Very understanding. If you strugle in math she would be a great teacher!
great teacher!! homework and atendance is a must but very entertaning classes you will get a 4.0 if you work ( ps, she is big on vocab. don't forget to study that.
Love her to death. She is highly paced, with alot of group work. Makes you learn the material. Do ALL the homework and you will love her.
This class is hell. I have never worked so hard in a math class in my life. She is kindof out there with her songs & short cuts but they really do help. Use every resource you can to get you thur this class, you will need it. You have homework in your book & online. Exams are hard but study guide is great and if you know that you will be okay.
good teacher
AMAZING TEACHER! Not even kidding, I adore her. She taught me the most incredible ways of learning new material where other teachers have failed. I strongly recommend her!
Amazing teacher. She comes up with the most random things to help your remember, and sure enough you do. Group work helps a lot. Attendance and homework is required, but you WILL learn from her. Take the class you will like it. Would recommend her over any math teacher!
super good teacher, hated math until i had her now i feel that i am good at it. As long as you show up to class and do your homework your good. She has all these crazy analogies for math work...but there very fun and helpful. If you don't liek math, be sure to take her she makes it seem so easy! great teacher, i wish i could take her again
One of the most helpful instructors I've ever had!
I hate math and she makes it endurable.
AMAZING TEACHER! She has crazy analogies for everything but they are fun and they stick with you. She is very helpful and takes time explaining things. I am now a tutor for a 7th grader who is struggling with algerbra and I am using all the things I learned in her class. This is the first time I've ever gotten an A in a math class! :)
What an awesome teacher, i just love her.Very helpful, her teaching style is wonderful,she makes math fun,as much as it can be at least.she is such a great person too,i'm very sarcastic and she has no prob being sarcastic back,i love it. RECOMMENDED HIGHTLY,YOU WILL LOVE HER!!!!Makes math easy to grasp!
I LOVE HER!!!! Prof. Griffin is one of the most entertaining teachers I have had so far. Although I am not the best at math, she puts forth a great effort to help her students succeed. I would HIGHLY recommend her! Wonderful lady!
Prof. Griffin is one of the best teachers in math I have ever had. She has crazy analogies but she is awesome and her teaching is wonderful! Awesome teacher. If she taught higher than 112 i would take her again without question!
If I wanted stories I would have been a lit major. Horrible instruction process and no help on homework. She makes the rest of the class teach each other; she may as well not even be in the room. Doesn't teach from the book and is proud of it. Try to learn from the book in combination with her 'methods' and you're screwed. Wish I'd taken mathlab.
I didn't mind her, I'm better at teaching myself anyways. Didn't even go to class for the last 2 weeks and still recieved a 4.0. Liked that I didn't have to do the homework! Didn't like that she wants student to teach eachother, felt like I was constantly having to spend all my time teaching others, and I'm not a good teacher, let alone in math!
I like her style she puts you in groups so if you are unsure you can get help from others or you and the test are not to far off the extra credit she gives us pratice exams I like that glad to have her for the second time easy to ask question
She knew what she was talkiing about!
Prof Griffin is my favorite teacher. I took her for 107 and made sure to have her for 112 as well. She is dedicated to your success and uses funny/off the wall analogies to explain math equations. If you learn hands-on, she is the teacher for you. You work in groups everyday making it not so boring and actually a FUN math class.
This is the best math professor I have ever had. She made math fun to learn and made sure that you understood the course material. She also came up with nice little catch phrases to remember the laws that you need to know.
She has been the best Math teacher I have ever had. She is always willing to explain it to you, and it's nice being able to work in groups. There is always someone or someway of learning it, and she ensures that everyone understands!!! I highly recommend to everyone!
I was kind of using this as a blow off class but Griffin was AMAZING! I hated math in high school but because of her (I'm taking her for every other class she offers, no joke) it's my minor. She is THE BEST. She makes everything relevant to everyday people and she's brilliant!
She is a fantastic teacher. If anybody fails one of her classes I assure you, it's not because of Prof. Griffin.
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY I SUCK AT MATH. AND TRUST ME WHEN I SAY I FIND THE EASIEST ROUTES TO DO THINGS, AND DO IT RIGHT. GRIFFIN is the best of them all. Trust me, of all the teachers I took in 4 years. she is the only teacher whose name I remember. She was just that good. One sentence to describe her; she makes the impossible, possible.
She was wonderful, she makes sure everyone knows how to do everything she shows you shortcuts and easy ways to do it and she explains why you do it that why she doesnt just say"because its how we do math"at first i thought i didnt really like her, but that was the 1st week, i just signed up for another one of her classes i liked her alot-thake her!
Very energetic and actually enjoys teaching! She uses stories to help students remember formulas. She drops the lowest test and quiz score (over 115 points) which really helps improve G.P.A. at the end of the semester. She does reviews for difficult tests and for the final. An excellent teacher that enjoys her job!
I TOOK THIS CLASS AND 107 WITH HER. SHE IS WONDERFUL. SHE TEACHES YOU HOW TO USE YOUR CALCULATOR AND TEACHES SO THAT THINGS MAKE SENSE! I DIDN'T LIKE MATH UNTIL I MET HER! SHE TEACHES TO ALL TYPES OF LEARNERS!
prof. Wont let you fail, she makes sure you're understanding the material. She available for extra help if you ask. Truly an amazing educator, highly recommend. ...lol don't be on your phone in her class tho :)
The absolute BEST math instructor I've ever had, including high school classes. As long as you put forth the effort and show you're trying, there's no way to fail this class. Makes learning fun with innovative methods. Puts you in groups so you can work together on almost everything. No clue what negative reviews are talking about, she's awesome!
Best Math professor ever! I took her online class. I had been dreading it but it turned out great! She makes extra study guides and videos explaining the different things you cover! She's really interested in making sure you do well! I would take any class she offers again!
Amazing teacher, by far one of the best teachers i've ever had. I had not taken math in 5 years and was very rusty. This teacher knows her stuff and teaches it so well. I studied about an hour everyday during the week and easily 4.0 the class. I definitely recommend taking math with Catherine.
With out a doubt, the best math teacher that I've ever had. She is able to explain everything so clearly, and will help you with any questions until you understand. I wish she taught calc!!!
I had Professor Griffin for both 107 and 112. I love her she is by far the best math teacher ever. Not only does she make learning fun but she makes it easy. I would recommend her class to anyone. In her online class she is very interactive and stays on top of things to make sure that no one miss any deadlines. Wonderful teacher!
I loved Professor Griffin, she was clear with all subjects and made the class fun and interesting. Class attendance is a part of your grade but thats ok because class is fun
I think this class was to much on vocabulary then on math this class was very hard and there is not much extra help from her she is very nice but needs more in-depth ways to do the work when math zone was always freezing up and that was where all your work was
She's an awesome instructor! Her approach to teaching this course works! She has students in groups and makes learning the material very easy through her lectures, solving out the problem in front of the class, and then group work. I 4.0 the class and definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to take math 107.
Griffin is an amazing professor. She's very clear and offers as much extra help as you could possibly want. A lot of work is done in your group, which is another great way to learn as well.
This is an AWESOME instructor!!!! I strongly recommend that you take this professor for MATH 112. She is top of the line. She provides you with very clear direction and makes math fun. My best professor by far at LCC. You will not be disappointed... Unless you just don't do the work.
One of the BEST teachers you'll ever have. She explains math in a way that actually makes sense and doesn't just tell you what you need to know. If you show up and pay attention in class, not only is a 4.0 a breeze, you'll be really well-prepared for your next math class.
She is the best math teacher i have ever had.She really helps you understand math. She has printable notes to fill in, so you can keep yourself organized. Homework was online,no book needed.She give a lot of extra credit.Take note do homework, do extra credit, you'll pass with a 4.0!!
Hands down she is the best. I'm not good at math and I took her online and passed with a B. She means business and will do whatever she can to explain so that you can succeed. I love her she rocks wish I could have met her in person. Take her!
She might have been an okay teacher if she didn't get an attitude when she didn't agree with what you said in the progress check in her online class in then dropped you for missing 2 test/with a 97% overall GPA. Will not recommend this online class ever.
She is very good at teaching, but you have a lot of (really very very much) homework to do in a short time ( after deadline you can not get any points even you do all of them), also if you take this course online you still need to go to assessment center for paper tests (4 paper tests + final test).
Very good professor. I enjoyed her class however I did NOT like the way she had us submit homework assignments using ConnectMath. I spent more time trying to type the answer in than actually doing my homework. If you don't type your answer in perfectly, it is marked wrong, and she counts against your grade.
This professor is by far the best math teacher I've had. If you print out the notes and attend class you are guaranteed to pass. She makes sure you fully understand what she is teaching before moving on to the next section. I would highly recommend her as a math prof!
She assigns an enormous amount of homework to do every night, and if you're not that great at math it's pretty impossible to do, especially between other classes and work. She also makes you do the homework more than once, you have to complete your homework on connect math, write it all on paper, plus record all the key strokes.
Good teacher, however, if you don't enjoy boat loads of homework every night then don't go with her. Had 90 problems to do in one night for the next class. Willing to help you, and gives quizzes that you can eventually work on with your groups. Would take again if there wasn't so much homework.
I took math107 with her and she was very helpful but you had to work for your grade. You get homework every night and it is done on a website and you must write everything done with the calculator key strokes to get credit for the homework. You must take notes in class or you will more than likely fail the work, so it is important to do everything.
If you don't like tons of homework, I wouldn't recommend her. The normal for just one section is over 40 problems and you have up to 3 sections to do for the next class period. Plus you have to write out ALL of it. The quizzes are nice because you can work with other groups to finish them. However her grading is sometimes ridiculous.
In her class she loved to put you in groups and that was your group for the semester to help you out with quizzes but she does have her favorites and if she doesn't like you she wont help you I personally would never have her again she made me feel like math was my worst subject if you love homework (80 problems a night) Good Luck
Cathy is very outgoing and will tell you exactly what you need to know for the tests. The reviews are exactly like the tests and very clear. She cares a lot about students and wants you to do well. I would definitely recommend her for a math teacher!
The greatest math professor I've ever had! This is an amazing lecture. Her examples and experiences are really interesting. I wish she teaches Pre-Cal or Calculus so I can take her class again.
The best Professor I have had in many years. She explains the material very good, and she has a great sense of humor that keeps the class motivated.
very good at helping students understand math concepts. Best math teacher I have ever had. Do expect to do homework and participate in class or you won't pass. textbook on-line
She was honestly awful. Had surgery and she made everything available to me literally the day before. So I had to do 2 weeks worth of homework in one night. She rarely gives out full extra credit and she assigns over 200 math problems a week.
This professor is the best one I've had for math. She put you into groups so not only did you have her to help you, you also had your group mates. Of the four in our group, only two of us showed consistently. But the help of that ONE other person helped a lot. Not only that, but she explained things in a way that made complete sense. 10/10
If you even remotely struggle in math, DO NOT take this professor. I had over 15 hours of homework put into ConnectMath homework alone every single week. If you make a minor mistake in a problem you will be awarded absolutely NO points. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.
You will have online homework every night (except after a test.) Work must be shown in a notebook to her everyday in class. She is tough but she really is a great and inspiring teacher.
She is a good professor if you show up to class and want to learn. She is very nice and very willing to help as long as you're willing to try. I would recommend taking a class with her.
Basically, you need to set aside a couple hours every day to do the work. Follow her advice from the beginning of class: go through her notes first, watch her videos where she explains concepts and problems, watch other videos provided, and complete the paper homework first before completing the online portions. Take the quizzes and tests on-time.
I have always struggled with math until I had Professor Griffin, she is one of the most caring people I have ever met. Took both my math courses from her. I would take any class she taught. She is one of a kind!
She is super clear about everything and how it should be done. If there is a due date and it is that night she will email you reminding you that you still have to do that (but don't depend on it! It's just nice!) There are a lot of exams but they are very easy if you pay any attention at all in the course. 5-6 E.C. opportunities as well!
Worst teacher I have ever had. Her tests were extremely difficult and very vocab based which is ridiculous for a math class. Had over 200 math problems due each week. Makes you work in a group and ask each other questions instead of her. She was very rude and passive aggressive if you showed up with homework not done. Do NOT recommend her.
I loved Professor Griffin! I've never been good at math but I've excelled in her class. Yes, there is tons of homework due each week, and the tests can be hard. But if you do your homework and come to class you'll pass easily. She puts everyone into groups which helps a lot. I would retake her for all of my further math classes!
Professor Griffen is the best math professor I've ever had! She makes class a lot of fun and her teaching style is great. She puts you into groups the entire semester which helps a lot because she lets you and your group members learn from each other. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and explains things very well.
She is a fine professor. All you have to do is show up, do your homework and mildly pay attention to pass. Her tests are kind of hard because they're very vocabulary based. She's a nice person. Just do your work. The math problems are all online which is good because you don't have to get a textbook, but there are a lot of problems in connect math.
Catherine takes time to explain everything in great detail so that it can be easily understood. Visual explanations, good humored and friendly and very encouraging.
i always struggle in maths alot she's always there to help, she explains the lesson pretty well, she makes you sit in groups of 4 so if you don't understand you have 3 others to explain it to you & help each other! she brings in daily life uses for the math we learn. do all your homework & you'll pass in class. i passed class first time around.
Kind of kooky, but explains everything very clearly and is happy to show you easier or different ways to do problems. She cares a lot about student success. Very moderate online homework, and plenty of extra credit opportunities.
put us in groups for the semester required. we moved the desks around so our tables were put together. huge waste of time. felt like middle school. was rude to students who didn't follow her directions. she took phones from students and made a huge scene if she THOUGHT she saw anyone on their phone
Terrible at communication! Absolutely terrible. Tests are completely different than what we actually learn. In conclusion if you want a failing grade take her, you wont be disappointed.
Terrible professor to say the least. She takes half the time going through warmups and never finishes the note packets. Tests are difficult because her questions are unclear and typically up to 50 of 170 are vocabulary that make no sense. Bad professor.
Prof. Griffin is absolutely awesome!! Super organized, works extra credit into everything, and really wants you to pass. She applies the topics to real life and makes sure that everybody understands the material. You do have to get used to her personality, but that goes without saying. Overall, do the work and you'll pass.
shes really nice and explains the material in a clear and concise fashion. also gives you multiple ways to get to the same solution, so everyone finds a way that makes sense to them. Lots of homework but not that bad. tests are kinda hard because of they're vocab focus. put you in groups, but it really helps if you get paired with a good one.
Somehow talks for the entire time you are in class, but never finishes any notes. You are left wondering how to do homework and quizzes.
Shes a really excellent math teacher, however there is ALOT of outside class work. I would say if you are not totally in the right mindset for this class. Which would have been me in my younger years, you will do terribly. She however 100% willing to go the extra mile in helping you to improve your math skills. Would highly recommend.
