She is a good professor. goes over topics and makes them understandable. There was a total of 5 test ad a final. You will need to buy the book bc she uses that as guided notes for class. There is a lot of homework when sections add up. Attendance is taken everyday. You will have to put in time to study outside of class if you want to be successful.

Do not take her online class. She does not show all the steps needed to complete problems along with not simplifying things that just ends up confusing the student more than anything. If you are unfortunate enough to take her, just watch taylorsquared on YouTube. This is another Uncc math professor that actually knows how to teach properly.

I struggled big-time with this class and managed a B, Mrs. Crosby is a nice lady but the class structure is extremely fast and if you haven't taken math in a while, or pre-calc it can be a real challenge to keep up. Sometimes she doesn't explain things fully, but most days were okay. HW is awful, but I wouldn't mind taking this from her again.

I would not recommend this professor if you actually need instruction to be able to understand calc. Though Ill pass the class, it was an absurd amount of work and I even relied on other professors study guides and videos as she didnt provide any for the SIX!! exams before the final.

Given that I hadn't taken a Math course in over 4 years and never Pre-Calc I'm not sure how much of my struggles came from that or from her aggressively paced structure.

This class is probably fine if you're a disciplined student. However, if you're like me (and most other students tbh), you're probably gonna suffer somewhat. This class punishes you very, VERY hard for doing assignments the day of. The assignments get massive (up to 7 hours of lectures a week w/ note checks), and the teacher takes no late work.

I'm not happy with Professor Crosby at all. She is very selfish and doesn't communicate with students. I prefer do not come to class and study by myself from the videos and Hawkes.

When I say Dr. Crosby is the best professor/teacher I've ever had in my educational career, I TRULY mean that. Breaks everything down so you can understand and doesn't use heavy math jargon. She teaches like she is talking to beginners, which we are, doesn't assume we know everything. Homework/Group work was easy and related closely to exams.

She is really good! I'm not great at math, but taking her class, attending regularly, and paying attention made a big difference. If you stay engaged, you can do well. After each chapter, the Hawkes homework is due in two days, but there isn't too much homework. As long as you pay attention, the class is very manageable

Dr. Crosby made calculus feel like basic algebra! All you have to do is GO TO CLASS, take notes and you will do just fine. She sends out weekly course reminders so there is never an excuse to not finish the hawkes, practice tests, or quizzes.

Explains concepts very thoroughly and the Hawkes homeworks aren't too difficult. The class isn't too fast-paced so if you show up and follow along with the guided notes, it's not too bad. Definitely pay attention to due dates because some assignments don't offer late credit.

I absolutely love the way she teaches. She'll teach a little bit with the guided notes, do some poll everywhere's, teach more, and then a group work activity that she will happily help you on. She explains very well, actually prepares us for tests, and doesn't have surprises up her sleeve for those tests.

This is the ONLY professor you should be taking for ANY math course. Dr. Crosby was excellent, she dumbs down the material and explains very well so that you don't get lost. She cares about her students success and I wouldn't have excelled in this course without her! She is literally the best, she deserves her flowers!!!

She is so sweet! I did not classes much but she posts her lectures and what I learned in class stuck with me. She teaches the topics well and allows you to redo a test at the end of the semester if your attendance is good! ( i did not get it but that's my fault lol). Def recommend!

Dr. Crosby was an outstanding teacher. She gave credit for showing work, which I liked. If you show up to class and pay attention, you will have no issues in this class. Homework is using Hawks, which isn't the best, but her practice tests are on Canvas, and you get 3 attempts.

BEST MATH TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD! She was super clear on lectures and explained everything in detail. Take detailed notes on what she says in class, do the homework (it helps with learning the material), and pay attention in class. I'm usually a B-C student when it comes to math, and this is the first math class I EVER got an A in. Take this class!

Great professor! She's very straightforward and will make certain content digestible so you can understand it. When working on group projects, she gives great feedback and will enhance your project idea. Her practice tests are accurate and are similar to the actual statistics exams. Some exams are harder than others, but the class was a breeze.

Professor Crosby was an amazing professor. There is alot of HW but if you get ahead you should have no problem. Most of the class is based on tests, so if you dont do well on the tests you wont pass the class. I love the way professor Crosby explains! She makes calc make sense and she is quick with answering emails and questions.

Dr. Crosby is fantastic at what she does- she's matter-of-fact, no-nonsense, patient, and explains things extremely clearly. Attend lecture and do your online Hawkes homework to succeed! She will help you establish a great foundation in your first calculus class(es), but that only works if you show up to class, haha. She's an excellent choice!

Dr. Crosby made calculus easy. She is very clear in her lectures and patient if you're struggling. She cares a lot and will help if you ask. She also provides study guides specific to the tests she makes, so you can feel really comfortable going into them. I would 100% take another class with her and feel prepared for calc 2 thanks to her.

Dr. Crosby is amazing; all her lectures helped me learn the material so well. She does assign homework for each lesson, but they are not hard at all, and completing them gives you a 100, which is a nice grade boost. She is always willing to answer questions, and I would highly recommend taking a course with her.

TAKE HER! Kind and knowledgable prof. Im bad at math and I did great in her class. She breaks things down step by step even if you "should already know it". 3 MCQ exams + cumulative final. Takes attendance through PollEverywhere, and posts recorded lectures online. Hawkes HW/quizzes which are tedious, but easy 100s. Occasional group work in class.

Professor Crosby is the best. She treats every problem like you've never seen it before and it helps you learn the concepts so much better. There is a lot of homework, but the tests are pretty easy. She also posts practice tests on canvas that are super similar to the real ones. The final is no joke though
