She's a good teacher but she went through everyting way to fast. I prefer to have things explained throughly and half the time she was messing up on her own problems that she used as examples for us and had to have the class correct her several times.

She's super laidback, but try to figure stuff out on your own before you ask a question. The homework is way harder than the tests, and she gives partial credit on test questions. Feel free to correct her if she makes a mistake. She goes over the material really quickly towards the end so take notes. Lots of study days too.

I was on edge before taking her because she was a 3.5/5. However if you put in the effort to pass you will do great. I thought I was terrible at math and figured Id either barely pass or absolutely fail but I ended this class with a 93. She does teach a bit fast but will re explain if you ask her to. She is very respected and I would take her agai

She is a good professor for math but her lecture over the material can be difficult to understand. It was pretty easy as long as you study. Honestly, if you don't know each step of the problem for the review questions, you won't pass the test. The test cut and paste of the review with different numbers.

A kind teacher, however, she speeds through notes very fast and notes are necessary to pass this class. Expect lots of homework and a test after each chapter, but usually the test is just like the review she puts out. She drops the lowest test grade after the semester ends! Overall, if you take notes during class and study the reviews youll pass!

Unless youre already great at math, I would recommend you stay away from her. Her goal is to get through the chapter, wether you understand or not is on you. She will stop and answer questions, but with a degrading attitude. She teaches as if you are an honor student, she talks incredibly fast and erases the board almost immediately. Good luck!

I took her for Pre-calculus, as well. I definitively preferred her precalc class over trig, but I think that is mostly due to the different material. I found it near impossible to stay awake and focused in trig lectures. It is so boring and confusing, at times. As a person, Ms. Hudgeons is easily the best math prof I've had yet.

She was a good professor I just recommend not skipping class, she covers a lot of material in one sitting. She gives practice tests before each exam which are EXTREMELY helpful.
