Ms. Stitt is a new teacher, but she's great. I've always struggled in math and I took her for math 75 and I finally understand it. She goes step by step and is by far the best math teacher I've ever had. 5 exams, no quizzes. If you struggle in math, take her! She will help you so much!

passionate about teaching Loves the material and knows it well Makes sure you learn Not easy

Definite thumbs up. Teaches very well, but you still have to put in the work.

Straight forward, listen and do the work. Great personality!

She's the coolest teacher by far. She breaks everything down for your understanding. Overall, tests are easy.

Man she's such a great and easy (in a positive connotation) teacher! Her tests questions are literally picked right from the text book, so if you do your homework, you're bound to get an A. Also she goes out of her way to help you, should you need it! If she was teaching Calc next semester, I'd take her again! I highly recommend her! GLHF

She gives a respectable amount of homework, plenty of chances for extra credit, and is very fair in grading. Anyone who stays after class to ask her questions she is happy to help. Her tests are based on homework questions, so if you do that you can do the tests. I'd take her again for Precal if I could.

Although I got a B, her summer 121 kicked my bum. So much homework and test were tough since it was my first time seeing trig functions. She was pleasant to be in class with.

Willing to go over any/all homework problems on the board, and clarity is phenomenal. She goes step by step for those of us who have trouble with math. Obviously it's not an easy class but she's always there for you and wants you to pass! Would take again if she were teaching Calc.

She is an excellent instructor! Even if you are an experienced math student, she helps you learn new ways of looking at math and numbers. I plan to find out what classes she is teaching next semester.

Ms. Stitt is AWESOME! I finally understand math and it is all thanks to her and how well she explains things. She never makes anyone feel stupid for asking questions and she will go into as much depth as she can to help you understand. I am so bummed that she isn't teaching the next math class that I need. If I can take her again I will!

I have avoided College for the longest time due to my attitude toward this subject. from day 1, Catherine had me in love with numbers and highly motivated to learn more. I was actually.. EXCITED to come to class. She makes the class fun and enjoyable and really wants her students to enjoy the subject and takes time to do so. See you in the Fall!!!

Catherine was the best math teacher I ever had. By a mile. She is young and enthusiastic, and you can tell she loves teaching. And she's really good at it. She's a little heavy handed with the homework but prepares you well for it in class so its not hard, just takes some time. No droning from the textbook, she makes it fun.

Fantastic teacher. Gives quizzes every week there is not a test, but they, and her tests, are very easy. Only complaint is that she tends to be a picky grader. She assigns HW, but doesn't collect it, so no easy points there. Very clear and very helpful. Offers extra credit. Final was cumulative, but easy. Take her, I wish she taught calc2.

Amazing teacher! Very helpful and patient.

I took Calc 1 without taking precalc and was terrified going in because math wasn't my strong-suit. However, Catherine is a WONDERFUL PROFESSOR and she really helped me succeed and believe it or not, i actually enjoyed her lectures and ended up receiving a B. But, be prepared to work for your grade.

Honestly, she is the most caring person ever. She will help you when you need it. Work hard and you will get a good grade. Attend office hours whenever you can, even if it's just one hour, you should be fine. She is so so nice and extremely sweet. Study, work hard, and do your homework.

If you are a slacker and do not take an initiative to learn the material then you probably wont like the class but if you try from the start you will be ok. She is very sweet and clear about the material new at stats but everything was great, the only thing I hope she changes is having to solve problems by hand and calculator

Stats isn't easy subject, do the Hw and if you do not understand see her from the start I am an A/B student and this was not difficult, this is college,students should stop expecting a Final Review Guide, the final was easy if you did well from the start. Also don't show up to class MOST of the time SHOW UP EVERYDAY, how else do you expect to learn

Good at explaining things when you have questions, nice lady thats ready to help. She can move a little fast in lectures and you go through a few chapters a day but just slow her down and ask your questions and she'll elaborate. Doesn't put grades in canvas at all which is frustrating bc you never know how something will affect your gradePassionate

Very enthusiastic and approachable. Don't be afraid to go to office hours for help on anything. During the beginning of the year we had a quiz almost everyday on little bits of each section, but the amount went down towards the end. Doesn't make you feel bad if you get a low grade on your quizzes. Homework is not mandatory but do at least some.

A very kind professor that is full of passion towards her students and math, if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask her. There would be a lot to learn in class and at home but you take away a lot after the semester and she will also help her students be ready for next level of math.

Catherine is the best 192 math teacher you will find at DVC. She cares about her students and is always happy to help. She gives a lot of homework but it is helpfull and a good review. Her quizzes and exams are similar to the homework problems you do. Just show up to class, take notes, do your homework and you are good to go.

Catherine is the best math teacher I have taken at DVC. She drops one your loswest exam and quiz scores. She gives a lot of homework but it is a good review for you. Show up to her class take notes, do your homework, and you are going to pass her class with an A. I 100% recommend her.

She is good at explaining concepts. She really cares about her students and is really approachable. She provides students with an extensive amount of resources. She does give a little more than average hw but it prepares you very well for the exams and for future math classes. If you could take her, go at it.

Prof. Stitt's excitement about math is so infectious that you almost stop hating it too - almost The class was hard for me, but mostly because I struggle with math and not because of Stitt herself. She provides a lot of resources and opportunities for office hours. She genuinely wants you to be successful and will invest the time in you.

Great professor. Cares about students, wants to see them succeed. Things can get a bit hold-your-hand-ish so if you've taken Calc 1 before in high school, you might be in for a slow ride. Can be a nit picky grader, pay attention to detail on quizzes/exams.

Id taken calculus before but never grasped WHY I was doing something She breaks down the material very well, so as opposed to just memorizing what step came next, I could actually understand what I was doing and why I was doing it. She is VERY specific in her grading so pay attention to her examples to see what she is looking for on her tests.

she is a great professor but she gives a lot of homework which is good thing. she teach very fast and show one example per section, she is tough for grading, attendance is mandatory, she is OK, but not professional.

I do understand why other gave such a bad overall score toward this professor. You are going to memorize lots of things in order to take test, and her lecture is speedy(maybe it was because summer class). However, she does care students' curiosity, welcome to personal questions, and lectures are informative and speedy enough to enjoy them. Loved!

One of the nicest professors I met really tries to help you pass and teaches everything you need to know for the next class

If you want to pass college algebra, you'll need to practice so be prepared for lots of homework. Lecture heavy but essential to learning the material. Favors a step-by-step approach to help you build skills quickly. Tests only material covered in class. Has the patience of a saint. Give your best effort and she'll support you.

I though Stitt was an awesome teacher. She does expect you to memorize a decent amount of formulas (no notes on tests) but it's because it gets used again in later classes and shes setting you up for success. Super nice lady, cares about her students. Her lectures were organized and clear, tests were just like the hw problems.

If you are a step-based learner take this class. She is very picky about notation because IT MATTERS in math. She drops the lowest test and lowest quiz. HW is not collected/graded but if u dont do it you will see it in your grade. No XC besides dropping the lowest but if you come to class and do your work you will be fine. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trig.

Professor Catherine Stitt, is a great instructor. If you need help, YOU NEED TO ASK. She notices effort. Homework almost everyday, but its a math class... isnt that expected. Anyone who disrespectful Is obviously is too immature to handle this course. Shes very fair, and will help you if you ask for it.

Had her class when everything suddenly changed to online in the middle of the semester due to COVID-19 and she handled the transition really well. Both for online and in-person classes, she waits for confirmation from students before she moves on to the next topic, and spends as much time as she can making sure everyone understands the lesson.

Professor Stitt was my favorite math teacher at DVC. Her lectures are a lot of fun, and make sense. She makes everyone participate and that helps a lot. She sometimes treats her students like their still kids but she means well. she really cares, but you will DEFINITELY learn from her. I was really sad I couldn't take calculus with her.

Professor Stitt has been the best math teacher I've ever had! She's very clear, makes her own notes, and will always answer any questions you have. There was nothing that ever appeared on a test that we hadn't learned. Be aware though, she gives a lot of homework. She is super sweet and understanding! I wish I could take her again.

She's definitely awesome professor I've never met before. She's really kind and always wanna assist us as much as she can! It's kinda lot of assignments because it's summer session. But one thing I could guarantee is if you follow what she says carefully, you'll be able to get good grade!

I wish Professor Stitt taught all my classes. You have to put in the work.

Professor Stitt's classes aren't for those that want to just get by knowing as little as possible. She wants to guarantee you know the material. With any math class you are not going to learn anything by just doing one problem and moving on that is why there's a considerable amount of work to do in her class.

Incredible teacher. I wish all professors were as caring and available to discuss trouble that I'm having in the course. It was a difficult course but professor Stitt was inspiring and helped my gain the confidence to keep working hard.

Math is hard for me and professor Stitt made this class so enjoyable. Professor Stitt's kindness and attitude made me want to go to class and persevere through the toughest concepts.

Def recommend Stitt, she cares about her students. I took her class twice and if she was teaching next level math, I would totally take her again! You still need to do the work, but she makes it almost effortless to go to her office hours, ask questions, she explains over and over until you understand the material. Sad to say I can't take her again

Shes really good at explaining material. Her videos are amazing. Id take her again but I didnt like that she made us learn all formulas. Im not a math major, I dont need to know it by heart and next week I wont remember any these formulas either way. Shes a little bit old schooler but very sweet and approachable. Take her! :)

Catherine is a very nice lady. If you take her class in the summer, be prepared to treat it like a full-time job. Exam every week with loads of HWs/assignments and a cumulative final. Her worksheets are so organized and comprehensive that I didn't have to use the textbook (other than for HW). Easy A/B if you put in the work but you can't slack off!

I took her this summer, which consisted of 32 mylab assignments, a handful of written hw graded on completeness, discussion post, 5 mid-terms(lowest score dropped), and a final. If you're not ready/willing to put in hard work, I'll not recommend her, but if you're then, she's a solid choice.

If you're taking a college level pre-calculus course in the span of 6 WEEKS, you should expect to spend A LOT of time on homework. It was stressful at times but I ended up with a 98% and i'm not a "math person". We got to drop 1 Exam and the lowest 3 assignments, which was nice. The Final wasn't too bad. Catherine is friendly and encouraging.

Very helpful and supportive, but you will need to study a lot.

Amazing professor, very helpful and supportive, but you will need to study a lot. I dont recommend this class in summer.

I honestly dont get all these bad reviews here. Yes, its hard to take such a complex class over the summer. Yes, math requires a lot of work to be good at it. This is college yall. You got to put work if you want to succeed. Stitt is really sweet and great at teaching. And btw, everyone makes mistakes, be a good person and point it out in class!

Awesome teacher! Taking this class over summer is tough. You're going to need time and put in the effort but you'll know the material well afterwards. I'm sad I can't take a class with Professor Stitt again

I haven't had a professor yet that has been as engaging and caring as professor Stitt. Math is hard for me and her being available during office hours and answering all my questions helped a lot.

Prof Stitt was one of the best professors I had. I will complain that the class was extremely homework heavy and she is a very tough grader on tests, she docks points unnecessarily. With that being said, she explains things very thoroughly and will make time in her office hours to go over things with you. She has definitely helped me the most.

There is a lot of homework in this class, and that is normal for a pre-calculus class. You have 4 exams in the semester with your lowest grade being dropped. Professor Stitt is nice, caring, and extremely accessible with emails and office hours. She teaches well and gives handouts with the steps of everything to make studying much easier.

i took this as an online class and professor stitt is really nice, her tests are easy. you can't really cheat because your camera has to show your hands during exams. i got a b because i slacked off and got missing assignments but if you just do the homework you'll be fine.

One of the best professors. I would love to have her in my next mathematics classes. She explains everything very simply and provides notes to make studying easy.

Professor Stitt has great lectures and really helped me understand the material. However she is really homework heavy with no extra credit. I would take her again because her lectures were excellent, however note to self that you will be doing a lot of work in this class. It's not easy to get the A. I left the class with a good understanding.

Stitt explains complex math concepts very well, if you want to learn math properly, she is the professor to go to. She is not a tough grader, but she does have a way of doing math that you have to follow in order to score the full points. Her class is pretty test heavy too with quizzes every week and 5 exams total.

Had her online and she would post her lectures in short 10-15 min vids. Some professors just post 1 hr long videos which are hard to sit through. Always explains the proof behind topics and ideas and is always able to answer questions and help students. Tests based on hw. She does assign a lot of hw but allows around 10 late assignments.

When having Professor Stitt, she helped me so much and I can honestly say she was the best math teacher I've ever had.

Prof. Stitt had good & clear lectures. However, I had to memorize rules/defns for each exam & would be marked wrong if I did not use the same method stated, even if I used a method covered in class. I found memorizing the numbered laws etc redundant bc she could see the methods I used from my workings. Ex. Answer w/ methods from Sect 5.2 Defn 4a.

I took her in the summer. She gave a TON of assignments. However, she is one of the kindest souls I've ever met. You can complain all you want about all the paper and online homework, but at the end of the day, you will know Pre-Calculus better than anyone else. Take her if you want a solid Pre-Calculus foundation.

I personally really enjoyed Professor Stitt's pre-calc class. She thoroughly went through each lesson and explained everything pretty clearly. There is a lot of homework, but most math classes are like this. As long as you took notes, the homework went by pretty quickly. Tests and quizzes were based on very similar problems from homework.

The most thorough lecture videos I have ever encountered in an online environment.Tough grader, but that is good because she shows you exactly how the questions should be worked on and answered. Her class and prep work gave me an excellent foundation for Calc 1 and for all math moving forward. Please take her if you ever have the chance!

a lot of homework

Grade was 90% exams (4 exams/1 final), homework got heavy at times and it was only worth about 3% of my grade. She is really nice and willing to answer questions, but she is picky with grading on tests. Takes away points for lots of little things, but the handouts she gives for exams are pretty helpful as they list practice problems for each topic.

Professor Stitt's pre-calc class is challenging but rewarding. Lots of homework, but the lectures are great for understanding the material. Unstuck AI was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.

Great teacher and explains very clearly. I failed my first semester of Calc 1 with a different teacher and retook and got a B with her. Always open to help. Take her!

Professor Stitt is super sweet and is a RLLY good teacher and you'll rarely leave class confused. She's specific with what method to use on tests so memorize the methods. 4 tests + a final that are worth 90% of your grade combined so do NOT bomb your tests and study for them!!!! (lowest score is dropped) HW is worth 10% but rlly good practice

Wonderful Professor. She provides her own note papers for each section that breaks down the process to solve the problems very handily. Quizzes look just like the homework so they are easy if you study. She will ramp up the complexity of the problems for the exam, but after the first one all the students were prepared for it.

Really awesome proffesor! Took her over the summer for precalc. Lectures were clear and easy to follow along with. Reasonable/ good amount of hw. Homework is very helpful. As long as you do the work and manage your time reasonably well, then Im sure most ppl wont have trouble getting an A, especially over the regular semester.
