Easy class, not that hard. Don't text in her class she will take your phone away from you. Nice sweet old lady. Willing to help and always has office hours.
Easy class. Professor always willing to help you. Will go over material again if you do not understand.
She was my favorite teacher at Rider University! She is extremely helpful and knows the subject in depth. Her meticulous nature is lovely. My only advice is to listen and do the work she gives you. You will learn a lot from her and if you do well in her class, upper level class math will seem like a piece of cake.
She was my favorite teacher at Rider. I took her for all my statistics classes. She loves her students and does anything to help them. She really knows what she's talking about. Pretty heavy work load, but definitely worth it.
Professor ZT was great. She was extremely helpful and was always willing to answer questions during class, as well as outside of class. I truly learned a lot from her course.
Her class is pretty easy. She makes it VERY clear what questions will be on the test, and takes them directly from the hw. Definitely one of the better math professors
Overall not a bad class. ZT is a good teacher that teaches the subject matter, and what ever she goes over in class will be on the exams. If you do the homework and not afraid to put a little extra work in, then its an easy A. She might come off "interesting" at times but it just makes for a better class.
One of my favorite math professors! She really goes out of her way to make sure that all her students understand, and is always willing to answer questions. None the less, make sure you put in the effort!
The best math teacher i have had. she is very clear with the material, and what will be on quizzes and exams. she always offers extra help. i liked her class
One of the best math professors I've had so far at Rider. Professor ZT is extremely helpful and wants you to do good in the class. She is very knowledgeable and often relates material to the business world. She provides plenty of handouts and if you do all the work, you should be able to get an A! I definitely recommend her!
This is a hard class, She can be rough and her handwriting is hard to understand. She gives out ALOT of handouts that are mostly handwritten by her. If you put in the amount of effort (2hrs each day is expected) then you will do fine. My best advice would be, do not take this course with another harder course that is also demanding as Stats 2 is.
Do NOT take her classes!!!
for STAT II she is an extremely good professor she goes out of her way to make sure you understand the material. you have quizzes but she goes over what it will be on and does examples right before the quiz. There is no way you should fail this course unless you don't try. I would take her again over any other math professor at RIDER.
Raises the bar; high expectations. Actually do your homework, come to class prepared to ask questions (come to class period), & try hard to keep the tons of handouts organized. If you do this, Prof. ZT will do the rest--very helpful, offers her time, explains things well, goes over everything on tests/quizzes, and truly cares about her students.
Probably the best math teacher at Rider hands down, she explains everything well and makes sure you don't mess up, she tells you what on the test ahead of hand so you can study.
Awesome teacher. Makes herself available for help. Goes over so many problems which really helps students understand problems. Lectures can be a little dry but as long as you semi pay attention you'll be fine.
SHE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD. Her tests and quizzes are simple and pretty easy if you pay attention in class and do the homework. She explains things really well and if you don't understand something she always encourages you to go to office hours. She made me actually enjoy math. TAKE HER.
One of the best professors I have taken so far. Encourages students to seek assistance from her. Definitely complete the worksheets she hands out b/c they will help you a lot. She will always tell you what is on the quizzes and tests, so there are no surprises. Highly recommend taking her. You will learn a lot and be prepared for future courses.
ZT is great!! She is so helpful and funny. Seriously, you will laugh a lot in this class. Take her.She is fantastic. Very fair grader, lets you know exatly what is on quizzes and tests. Easy.
Probably the best math teacher I've ever had. She explains everything well so you really understand how to do the problems and what they mean. Extremely hilarious as well!
She is an outstanding math teacher; however, if you do not pay attention in her class you will fail. Her tests and quizzes are easy if you do all of your assignments.
I loved professor zt because she really cares about her students, always gives us advice for our future and everything she gives for homework or shows in class WILL be on the quiz/exam. Her class is not hard at all, all you need to DO the hw and you'll be fine. I am so happy I am going to have her next semester too. take her, she's the cutest!!
ZT is a great professor. The class is extremely easy. Everything you need to know for tests is in handouts she gives you. Many kids failed because they did not do work. It is an easy A if you work.
Dr. Z-T is a a excellent professor. I would absolutely recommend her to a friend. Homework is very similar to quizzes and tests. If you take the time to understand the homework there is no way you will not get an A.
Very helpful and dedicated to the material.
Dr zt is dedicated to her students and explains material with clarity. Tests and quizzes are from material taught in class. Professor zt is always available to help student and urges struggling students to improve their grades by attending supplemental instruction sessions.
ZT is fantastic! I have always been awful at math. I originally took MSD 105 with Klein but dropped that course because he didn't click well with me and i was doing poorly. With ZT, i did SIGNIFICANTLY better, understood more, and enjoyed the class a lot more. Don't miss more than 4 class, she drops your lowest quiz grade. great prep for exams
Horrible teacher for Stat 1 if you have the option take someone else because if you do, you will have to drop and re-take like I am.
Not a good teacher at all, if you have any other options for MSD-105, take them.
Math has never been my strong point. With this being said, if you're like me and you take advantage of tutoring and office hours you'll be okay. The beginning of the year is easy and she explains things well, but once probability comes into play it can be tricky. Overall she has an old fashion outlook and has very unique advice for her students.
She is a very sweet lady and an easy grader. As long as you pretty much know what you're doing, or ask for help, you'll be golden.
Professor Zucco-Teveloff was my favorite college professor so far. She is excellent at clarifying complicated math concepts. She is truly a marvelous professor, I would highly taking recommend her if you are willing to put in effort. In addition, you might wind up enjoying math like I did! If you enjoy learning, take her.
I passed her class with a 98. She was a good teacher and wanted people to ask questions. She was always there to help and only wanted the best for her students. I would take her again
She is fun and a great grader. Very good on partial credit and making sure you fix your mistakes.
She was by far my favorite professor. She really takes the time to make sure the class understands. If you don't understand something speak up or other wise she will assume you understand the material. She assigns hw every class, but she doesn't collect it. It's up to you to do it. Make sure you know the how to do the problems and show all work.
Fantastic Professor. Very clear -cut, cares about her students, would definitely take her again.
BEST STATISTICS TEACHER EVER! She gives a practice exam before each test, which are the problems just different words and numbers. There is HW, but doesn't collect it i never did any got an A. She goes through everything step by step, ask her questions she will explain everything even 2+2. Quizzes sometimes but those help with the test. Take her!!!
Professor ZT is the best professor I have taken at Rider by far. Not just in math, overall. She is exact in what she wants and helps you whenever you need it. Class examples are exactly what is on tests/quizzes. She comes off strict but it's because she cares about her students. She is funny, teaches valuable lessons outside of the classroom too.
Professor ZT is a very helpful teacher who makes sure you understand everything. She expects you to do well and will help you along the way. Class examples are exactly what is on tests/quizzes and she makes sure you are properly prepared for tests. Would definitely take her again for another math class!
Gives 6 quizzes and two tests not including the final throughout the semester. Helps you prepare very well for all quizzes and tests. Is nice and approachable if you need help or office hours. I took her both semesters and would continue to take her.
Great professor. Such a nice person and very understanding. Can't wait to take her again for Stats hopefully!
Seems tough at first, but really goes over material until students get it.
She is a great professor. Make sure you attend class, it is super beneficial and you won't fall behind. She explains the work throughly and you will most definitely understand as long as you pay attention.
She's great! I would recommend taking her. She cares for her students, and she lectures good. Homework is a must, that's how you prepare yourself for her exams.
ZT was my favorite professor this semester would definitely take her again
I'm genuinely surprised to see that many people enjoyed taking her class. I personally think that she's kind of rude, overly opinionated and puts down a lot of people for weird reasons. However, she is very straight forward, answers any questions that you have, and teaches something different every class.
best math teacher. students generally don't like her because they are too childish and just want to sit back in laugh. if you worry too much of what other are doing you are most likely not getting a good grade in the class. 5 quizzes and 2 exams in her class
Professor Z-T is an excellent professor! She really cares about each and everyone of her students & really explains the material well. Her class is pretty easy if you pay attention in class & do your homework. If you are just struggling in general she says every class where you can get extra help & her office hours. Hands down my favorite professor
Professor Zucco-Teveloff (ZT) is an amazing professor, she takes all the time to teach and break down each topic and gives a lot of examples to help you clearly understand it. I would definitely recommend taking her, she is a generous grader and knows how it is like in the real world. Participation, 6 quizzes, and 3 exams counted towards the grade.
Do not skip class. You learn a different thing week. She is very understanding and is a great teacher.
Great teacher and wants you to succeed in her class. Six quizzes, two tests and a final exam, drops the lowest quiz grade. She occasionally goes off on tangents about society or politics and bashes other majors. Overall a GREAT teacher and well recommended if you struggle in math.
She is very friendly, and encourages students to go to her office hours if needed. I thought she was a very good professor and I would take another class taught by her in the future.
Professor ZT is amazing! Her class is not hard if you pay attention. She goes off topic sometimes, but she still makes funny jokes and makes the class enjoyable. Quizzes and tests are easy if you pay attention and practice the reviews. I would definitely take her again.
The class itself is not difficult. Although a lot of HW are assigned, it is very beneficial to do them because they are similar content to the test and quizzes. She makes sure you understand the content, and if you have any questions she goes over it in and out of class. Overall Professor ZT is a good Professor. Highly recommend on taking her
Do the homework because it helps a lot when it comes to test and quizzes.
It's an easy class if you want a 'B', but getting an 'A' is definitely challenging. Don't buy the textbook, she doesn't grade or collect homework. You're better off just doing the worksheets she passes out in class because they're similar to what you will be tested on.
Prof ZT is wonderful. Everything on paper so no online platforms Her quizzes and exams are exactly what she teaches so no surprises. I never really used the textbook, but if you like doing extra problems then I would get it. Everything else is handouts and worksheets that she prints for you. Sometimes goes off subject but has some funny stories.
She is very passionate about what she does, however, she does expect a lot out of you. You must show up and listen to her lectures if you miss one you can be screwed for the next quiz and section's test. Great at explaining but she definitely thinks her class is the only class your taking. Overall I got a B could have gotten an A if I didn't skip
Professor ZT was a great math professor because she gave you a lot of practice problems to help you with quizzes or tests. Also, there was an SI session every Monday and Wednesday. The sessions were very helpful because it was good practice and it helped me understand everything.
I struggled due to her teaching strategy, grading type/pickiness and every-week quizzes. The way she grades HW/quizzes is insanely strict. She takes off points for not formatting answers her way. Very inconsiderate, as shes stated how she doesnt care about our free time, leading her to assigning HW after EVERY class including over every weekend.
Shes very inconsiderate and she gets off topic super easily. Her teaching method is very confusing and hard to follow. She doesnt really understand the homework that she gives out and assigns a lot of it. Doesnt let student use the bathroom when needed and in general just a very mean person.
I loved Professor ZT. She is a real gem. She does have you do a lot of work but it counts as practice so it is all worth it. She always is respectful of her students. She wants you to EARN your score and will push you to the max. She is very motivated and loves her job. I'd recommend her a lot. Just be prepared to work.
Great professor, taught clearly. Lots of homework but it ultimately helps in the end. Textbook is there to assist you with problems.
Professor ZT is amazing. She explains clearly and makes sure you understand everything. Be aware that you will receive homework for every class, some of them really long, however the practice will help you a lot for quizzes and tests. She doesn't use canvas for grades so you have to keep track of your own grades. I would definitely take her again.
ZT really cares about you, and how well you do during your time at rider. You're going to hate her during the beginning for how much work her class is, but you are going to be thankful she did in the future. She thoroughly explains each lesson and makes sure everyone understands. Definitely take ZT!
At first she didnt like me since I was doing poorly but once I got the hang of math she was really sweet. She is very intelligent and gives feedback on quizzes and test. Attending the tutoring session they will help a lot. She does call on anyone so be ready and learn from your mistakes. Her humor is one of a kind .
Great professor love her life lesson lectures
I really liked her teaching style. She would teach in class but also give us worksheets to review. Coming to class was mandatory. She does give homework but if you start it earlier it is easy to finish it. She really cares about her students and you can go before and after class to ask her questions.
If you pay attention, come to class and do the homework, you will do well. She has office hours for extra help and wants everyone to learn and cares for her students. Gives a lot of practice and goes over for quizzes and exams.
She is extremely hardcore and treats her students as if they aren't people, Multiple students get called out and criticized for things that don't pertain to them. She almost bullies the students and only calls on students who do poorly in class so if you are doing good and want to actively participate she will not call on you unless you do poorly.
Professor ZT is great. While the class is filled with lots of homework, the homework is there to help grow knowledge of the work. She's always there to help and a great teacher in general.
Professor ZT is an amazing professor. Class has a lot of homework but in the end it does help you a lot with the test and quizzes since they are almost identical. You really have to pay attention and come to every class, otherwise you will fall behind. Overall, I enjoyed the class and the work was pretty easy.
This course is relatively intense because of the amount of homework assignments, but the assignments are important to succeeding in this course and set students up to do well on quizzes and exams. I'm not a strong student in math, but Professor ZT made the material manageable, engaging, and relevant. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed this class!
This is class has prepared me a lot even though I loved going to class. ZT is a very good professor, the way she taught lessons, the material and homework online helped me along the course. Her quizzes and exams are really easy. She is a very sweet professor, I will miss her class. She is very thorough and lessons were deeply taught well.
Professor ZT will definitely make you work for your grade; however, if you do as she says, you will receive an A. She gives a ton of homework, but it helps with the quizzes and tests that she gives out. She is very accessible, as she has many hours for students who may need help. Make sure you do not miss class, or you will fall behind fast.
she's very sweet, but she does not play. Get a chance to get to know her after or before class. She can easily help you with the material and don't slack off because she will keep it moving. If you pay attention, you will have an easier time in this class.
ZT is amazing. I had her last semester for MSD 104. She moves fast, so make sure you go to class and pay attention or else you'll have difficulty. Being an intro course I knew most of the material but she explains clearly and refreshed my knowledge. Go to the SI sessions! It helps! She's sweet when you give her a chance
Professor ZT is an outstanding instructor, and I highly recommend taking her class. While the amount of handouts may seem excessive, they greatly aid in preparing for quizzes and exams. With her support and accessible office hours, there's ample opportunity to succeed. ZT's dedication to our success makes her one of the best professors at Rider.
Professor ZT was a great teacher all around! Though it may seem like a lot of work, if you pay attention and don't slack, an A is very attainable. She reminds students of office hours and tutoring often, so use that to your advantage if you see yourself struggling. Overall wonderful teacher and I highly recommend her when picking your math classes!
Professor ZT is a good teacher and although she gives a lot of homework and her classes are long and boring, the amount of work she gives does actually help you for exams and quizzes. While she does seem like a bothersome professor, if you get to know her, she is very nice and caring. She wants everyone to do good in the class.
Professor ZT might seem like a very tough and serious woman but she is honestly very sweet. Once you get to know her, she has her ways of showing that she wants everyone to do good in her class and cares. While she does give a lot of homework and her classes were boring, the amount of work given really does help you for exams and quizzes.
Professor Z.T is an amazing teacher and I would take again.
Professor Zucco-Teveloff is easily one of the best math instructors I've ever had! She does assign a lot of homework, but the homework will definitely help you on tests and exams. As long as you show up to every class and take good notes, you should be fine, she wants her students to be successful. Would HIGHLY recommend her course to anyone!
Professor ZT was a very good teacher. Although she gives a lot of work it makes sure you are prepared for all exams and quizzes.
Professor ZT is a great professor just make sure to do all the assignments and attend her lectures. Also attend tutoring if you need more help.
