Amazing teacher! Very clear notes and happy to assist in questions. The material itself can be difficult but she makes the material easy to learn. Personally i took her for calc1-3 and i will miss her when the semester ends, shes that good!
great experience! took calc 1-3 with her
Explains the material well. Makes the class seem easier.
The best teacher ever, she will help with ANY problems you may have.

I love Mrs. Cantwell. I took her from MAC1105 to Calculus. She is an amazing and enthusiastic intructor who loves to teach and love mathematics. She is the reason why I decided to Major In Math. I will miss her!!
Interesting class to go to.
She is the best teacher I have ever had. She explains the chapters with full clarity. She will always answer questions and never makes anyone feel stupid. She teaches many different maths so see if you can take her if you're thinking about taking math.
Great teacher very helpful. Smoking hot bod
Cantwell is awesome! She is kind and easygoing and easy to understand. Plus, she gives oodles of extra credit for those in need!!
SHE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER THAT I HAD. SHE DOESN'T DOUBT WHEN YOU ASK FOR ANY PROBLEM. SHE KNOWS THE EASY WAY TO MAKE MATH EASY FOR YOU. I AM TAKING CAL III WITH HER AND I AM AMAZED OF HER WAY AND KINDNESS TO TRANSMITT HER KNOWLEDGE. SHE IS THE BEST.
She explains things clearly and does even-numbered examples from the text, which is also very good. She also does an excellent job of answering questions. I was dreading Calc III but she made it reasonably enjoyable!
No words To express this teacher as u could see other pipo's comments too. Very nice lady, very helpful,i took all calc classes with her (calc 1 2 3) and got all "A".
Horrid teacher. Easy, it's taught like a high school course. Wastes class time going over things we should already know. Concentrates on the unimportant material and rushes the important stuff. Will not take her again tho got A. Talks down to the class.
excellent math teacher! makes the lesson easy for everyone to learn, really like how she does the evens out of the lessons, this really helps when doing the homework. I plan on trying to take cantwell for the remaining math classes
She is by far the best instructor I've had at the college. She breaks everything down so well that it is easier to understand. I would definitely take her again if I had the opportunity!
Got C's with Rickman in Calc I, and II. Got an A in calc III with her. She makes class easier, but a large portion of it is the fact that she does explain the topic more thouroughly. Great teacher!
I had her for college algebra, and she is the best math teacher i have had. She is very organized and helpful. I liked her so much i am waiting till i can get her for Pre-Calc.I loved her class, the extra credit, & study groups. Highly recommened!!!
the rumors are true she is the best math teacher in SCC i highly recommend her if you dont take her your an idiot she is the best.
She's great. She takes the time to make sure you understand and she assigns homework but you dont have to turn it in. Its really for your own benefit to do it... I will take her for pre-calc. and i strongly recommend her.
Prof. Cantwell is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She gives a lot of extra credit and sets the beginning of class aside for homework questions. The tests are pretty good, too.
She makes me excited about Algebra! I am so glad SCC has her!!! She is awesome person and knows her stuff AND knows how to teach it. I will definitely take her again. What a great professor!!!!!!!!!!
WOW, what a relief it has been to have her for algebra. I can not recommend her enough. Do anything you possible can to get into her class. You will not regret it, I promise.
She was the absolute best teacher i have ever had, she cares about her students and it shows, she is great, i recomend her to anyone and everyone taking any math class she teaches.
I dropped Algebra, 1 times before I found her! She is a walking talking miracle to me and I learned so much from her! SCC needs to clone her! Take her and you will not regret it!!!!!
she is a excellent professor.Very easy to understnad, very aproachable to ask any questions, very patient. But you have to study, do your homework and do the extra credit and study group and you will do just fine. Good Luck. I will diffently take her again for the rest of the of the math cls I need.
She is a very good teacher, you just have to do the homework and the study and you will be just fine.
For those needing to take Biz Calc (Concepts of Calc). Take her...she's great and can clear up a lot of problems you may have. Study groups are great and the extra credit really helps especially for those who are borderline.
Love this teacher. Soo helpful and is very kind hearted. Tests can be alittle challenging but her extra credit helped me a whole letter grade. Gives lots of opportunities for improvement and is ALWAYS willing to help. Highly recommend her
Not an easy class! But a great teacher! I have taken 6 math classes at SCC and HERS was the best! "Worst was Howard Smith DONT EVER TAKE HIM" ! Anyway Mrs. Cantwell is a great teacher and even the worst student can do good!
Ms. Cantwell is GREAT!!! I got an A in her class. If you are not good in math, take her. She goes step by step and is willing to help you when you don't understand. I highly recommend her!!!!
She is the nicest teacher. Very friendly caring and will help you if you ask. She is very clear, her teaching is very easy to understand. What she teaches in class is what you will see on the tests. She is awesome.
she is good, may be the best math professor at scc. what a a great teacher she is! great help in and out of class, clear, really shows that she cares about the success of her students,kinda weird looking and short but it doesn't matter i guess. i confidentally recommend her.
great teacher! very helpful. if you don't pass her class, you are not going to pass it with any teacher. make sure you are attending classes. she would answer any questions you have. always in the office during her office hours.
SHE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER TO TAKE AT SCC. SHE WILL PASS YOU AS LONG AS YOU TRY. SHE LOVES TO TEACH STUDENTS AND SHE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING STEP BY STEP.. I WILL TAKE HER AGAIN...
Had her for col alg. plan on taking her for con. calc. by fa the best math teacher on campus. the way her class is set up is great. lots of xtra credit and chances to improve your grad.
Great Great Great Teacher!!!!!!!!!!!
I took basic with her and she is the best math teacher i have EVER had in my entire life. I will continue to take math classes with her until there are no courses left. She is very thorough and explains things very well. If someone has a question she helps them until they get it. Her online math site is great. I love her so much. She really cares about her subject and cares that you know and understand how it works
Very good math teacher at SCC offers extra credit alot and study groups; if you put in 10 hours or more you drop one of your test grades.. awesome math teacher!~
I love Dr Cantwell. I took her for calc 1 2 and 3 and can safely say that I had the best Calc teacher ever! This is not an easy class, and if you don't do the homework, etc, you WILL NOT PASS, but she is always there to help and genuinely cares. Her tests are challenging,yet not impossible. She prepares you well for your upper level courses. Bravo!
Very clear and easy to work with. Lots of extra credit and do 10 hours of study group or learning center time & you drop your lowest test score. The homework is harder than the tests. I am not a math person. I had to take this class 3 times but if I had taken Cantwell to begin with, I wouldn't have had to repeat it so many times. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I LOVE ms.cantwell,i had her for college algrebra and i loved her so much i took an 8am class with her for trig.she is very clear,so nice,and doesnt mind questions.for tests she posts test prep questions on her website,she also reviews how to use the calc and does homework quizes every class,which i like b/c it doesnt base your gd only the exams.
Ms. Cantwell is the best math teacher I have ever had!She is so good at explaining the material. She is very patient and thourough.As long as you do the homework and study you will do great.She gives chances for extra credit also which is nice.I'm so glad I had her for College Algebra.Would definately take again!
Really nice and helpful teacher.Do your hw and review and you will get an A. She gives extra credits!!!!!
The best math professor that I have had experience with at SCC. She explains the material well, and is always glad to answer questions. Tests are not the only grades, making it much easier to do well. There's also extra credit. Study with people from the class for 10 hours and drop lowest test. Best math teacher I've had at SCC!
I thought I was gunna fail and I got an A. She gives you extra credit and if you pay attention you can get As on her tests! Shes awesome I love her! PLUS shes super nice.
she gives a lot of extra credits. she is very clear and helpful. be on time in the classroom. tests are no too hard but not too easy either. try todo the homework so that you can get a good grade.
SHE IS SUPPER NICE.
She is very clear and will go through each step with you until you understand. She drops the lowest TEST grade and counts homework as a test grade. You will have homework Everynight, and make sure to do it b/c she checks it everyday! But I def. reccomend her! Good Luck!!
Definately the best math professor that SCC has to offer. She explains the material crystal clear, always helps out, and wants you to succeed. Assigns a lot of homework, but it is expected. Tests are challenging, but if you study and do your homework, you'll be fine.
A+ teacher, tons of extra credit. clear explanation. easy tests.
Ms. Cantwell is great as always. She is definately the best teacher because she explains things very clearly and is always organized. She is also very patient and is willing to help you if you don't understand. You definately have to study for this class-it's calc! I wish i could take many more classes with her. Now I can actually say I enjoy math!
she is the best math teacher ever.
The best math professor i have taken thus far. Lots of HW but she gives incentives to do it. With 10 study group hours you get to drop lowest test. 4 tests including final plus hw grade which equals a test and that brings you up to 5 total. TONS of EC. Take this class and you will thank me the first day of class. GREAT TEACHER.
If you are not good in math or its been a while since you took math, i strongly discourage you from taking this class. During the summer especially, it goes super fast. She assumes that you already have the basics covered. I am a good student and had to drop the class. She is a good teacher & provides ex credit and answers questions in class.
Exelent teacher.Very clear. Always ready to help.I will take her again.
Ms. Cantwell is great as always. She is definately the best teacher because she explains things very clearly and is always organized.

Now I can actually say I enjoy math!
Very helpful teacher. Offers extra credit. Breaks down each step in the math problems. Offers a seesion of questions and answers!
She is realllllllllllyyyyyyy helpful and clear. You have to do homework in order to succeed in this course. She offers a lot of extra credit, therefore there is room to get a good grade in her class. tests are a little challenging but she assigns prior the test what to expect.
Took her for college algebra and concepts of calculus. Wonderful teacher who will help and offer extra credit. Loves her job and her students. Will make u work but just to make sure that u understand it. Recommend taking her if u are serious about ur college future.
she was great! offers extra credit, which really helps. tests are hard, you will work for your A
I know its is calculus and I was always a very good student, but I discouraged you from taking this class if you are slow learner. She goes extremely fast. Twice I asked questions her answer was go to the learning center. The examples She goes over in class are easy and the test is very hard. You have to learn on your own. Lot of HW.
She is nice. Thats it. Tests are very hard N she doesnt cover the material.U R own your own, n U ll have to learn by yourself n work for your A. There's opportunity for xtra credit, U have to work for. She doesnt give anything easy. If you dont understand her answer - learning center. Do not recommend; SCC doent have many options. U R stuck w her
Mrs. Cantwell was extremely helpful for any questions you may have. She keeps excellent office hours and is always willing to help any student who ask for help. She took my most hated subject and helped me understand the material better than I ever thought possible. Her Test are straight from the Test Prep she gives. Lots of ex.cr. given. Must take
She's really nice but her teaching is awful. She gives way too much work and moves very fast. She teaches about 3 or 4 chapters everyday. So if you don't understand one little thing you are screwed. She gives quizes everyday on material that wasn't taught. Her tests are very hard. More than half of my class failed the class. DO NOT TAKE HER.
Very sweet professor. Really wants you to pass the class. Gives extra credit and helps you understand the material.
She is a super nice teacher. She does go fast but is always available before or after class . Lots of extra credit, big help. Attend class and go over homework.
I went through all three Calculus classes with Cantwell, and she is the best math teacher that SCC has to offer. Lectures are clear, tests are straight forward, and teacher is nice and extremely helpful. Her tests are intense, and you will do a lot homework and studying, but for her class, it's worth it. I highly recommend her!
If your good at math and it comes natural shes then one. If you think math is pointless and youll never use half the stuff you learn and have trouble dont take her. Im a slow learner in math and she goes so fast. shes explains what shes doin but doesnt explain how and why shes doin it. Its a hard class.
For all of the bad comments: here's the deal: The only time Ms Cantwell will move too quickly is if you are not asking questions. She will also refer you to the learning center if your question is about basic math. She shouldn't have to reteach fractions in college algebra. I hate math. But if you go to class, DO THE HW, an A is possible!
Prof. Cantwell, will not make it easy. She will expect you to know your basics before entering, but she will still review them over with you. She also offers alot of Extra Credit, take it where you can. She's a very kind lady, but she will make sure that you know your math before you're done.
Down home but highly educated, Mrs. Cantwell is an outstanding teacher. Exams reflect homework and the professor is very lenient when grading tests. Although the course is stupid easy, Mrs. Cantwell will stay after class to help students to better comprehend the material. BTW, Mrs. Cantwell graduated from James Madison Universtiy.
What an incredibly gifted teacher! If you don't understand something she is more than willing to explain. If there is not time in class you can go to her office and she is always very accomodating. I can not recommend her enough.
Very ggod teacher. She tells you the therom and then does on the board several problems that you might see on the exam. doesn't mind questions. for tests the problems are usually very similar to the problems on the test prep.
Ms. Cantwell is the best math professor that I've ever had. I have taken her classes from Trig all the way to Calculus 3. I wish she taught differential equations as well! If you go to class, do the homework, and study for the tests, even harder subjects are easy to pass. There is lots of extra credit, and dropped grades, which really help too!
Very Easy Drops lowest test score and give lots of extra credit. class was three hours and she gave us a break half way thru and i always left at the break and still passed with a b. does homework quizzes almost every class. Just 1 problem from homework to make sure u did it
I am taking her for intermediate algebra, she is very clear and makes sure you understand, she runs a website which will help you a lot... test preparations, extra credit and all other useful things. She moves a bit fast but thats how every math class ive had is. Lowest test score ive had is 82.
She is wonderful, I HATE algebra and she made it understandable. She gives you plenty of chances to earn extra points and can explain math like I have never seen. If you want a professor who can teach you the concepts so you can understand them, she's the one!
College Algebra is going to be a challenging class regardless of the teacher you take. Mrs. Cantwell does an amazing job with the material. If you come to class and do the homework, you really should have no problem passing her class.
This is an AMAZING teacher. The only reason I got a C was because I myself didn't do much of the homework on time. She offers a lot of extra credit and lets you drop an exam if you have 10+ study group hours(that saved my grade). She's extremely patient and really brilliant. Do your work and get an A :)
WARNING students in MAC 2233, there will be lots of random pop quizzes if you take her in Summer, especially shorter terms. Be careful, they are very difficult and go beyond what she teaches in class! She is great in fall and spring, but try to take someone else over the summer.
took her coll. alg. class over the summer cause i needed it for my A.A. she depended on a system called ALEKS to teach us math. it was ALOT of work online through aleks. the system itself did a poor job of teaching and on top of that she taught very basic never went into depth and when it came down to the test the questions where and not basic at a
ok im going to tell people the truth. she is a good teacher yes, but doesnt prepare you for test she does easy example problem them leaves the hard ones for u, pop quizes are on sections in previous classes when you are on a tottaly different section and tests are tricky, test prep questions are related to test dont take if you are not good in math
Mrs Cantwell by far is the best Math teacher I have ever had. I had her from Trig through Calc 2. Her lectures are extremely crystal clear and detailed. You will understand the subject after every lecture. Use the test prep to study for tests. Drops one test (optional Final) or Final replaces lowest test score. CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THAT SHE'S AMAZIN
Sucks so bad!!!! If ur not good in math this is not the class for you she will make you feel stupid if u don't follow along , not really motivating bad experience
HIGHLY RECOMEND MS. CANTWELL AKA MS C I LOVE THIS LADY SHE IS REALLY HEALPFUL LOTS AND LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT HELPFUL AFTER CLASS AND DURNIG OFFICE HOURS IF YOUR NOT GREAT AT MATH STUDY DO HW AND EXTRA CREDIT AND U WILL DO FINE
She is the best teacher I have ever had. I suck at math, and I passed. If you do the work you should pass. It's alot of work.
Very nice but if you do not have a good background in math this is not the teacher to be with. Don't get me wrong, she's very good at what she does and if I had a better experience with math I might of done better in the class.
It is very clear from the beginning to end of the term that Ms. Cantwell has been teaching this for a long time. Yet she still tweaks the class each term... she has structured the class in a way that I can say is the most fair, solid, well-paced class I've ever gone through (had her for the whole Calc series). She is fantastic, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Listen up! I had professor Cantwell for Calc 1 - Calc III and she is an excellent teacher Those that are complaining are those who were probably lazy and didn't do the homework, didn't do the extra credit offered, and didn't do the test prep for each test. She goes through every example to the t and explains them in detail She will go over homew
Love this teacher! I really like math and as long as you show up, do the homework, you will do good on the tests. She is really helpful and really wants you to understand the material. Great teacher!!!
Best math teacher ever!!! Very helpful teacher, and will even go over homework problems you didn't understand in class for review. She also encourages classroom discussion, which is always helpful. :)
Does a thorough job of explaining everything. Her expectations of students are made clear, extra credit is offered, and is always willing to help students if they cant figure something out or need help (= I would take her again for sure!
Absolutely amazing math teacher. Her instruction is crystal clear and she will take the time to work with you on questions that you may have. She offers lots of extra credit and gives partial credit for questions where you may have shown the correct work but got the wrong answer. One of the best professors I have had at the school, period.
This is College, not Middle school. This teacher is amazing and I think is very fair. If you sits and complained, well then, you should not be in College... Many of our hard work pays. STOP blaming the teacher, blame yourself. TAKE HER, I HATE MATH, BUT PASSED WITH B FOR 6 WKS SUMMER SESSION. HARD, BUT YOU CAN DO IT.
Fantastic teacher! Mrs. Cantwell is exceptional at presenting complicated topics in clear terms, which makes it easy to follow. She enjoys helping her students learn, and she responds well to participation and questions. You must put in the study time, but it pays off. TAKE HER. (PS:Get in a study group right away!)
This class is very challenging but Mrs.Cantwell will do every thing she can to help you get through. The web-assign sucks but if you can do those problems you will be highly prepared for any of her test. Be prepared to truly to 8+ hours of math homework a week though.
Outstanding math teacher. I took both Calc 2 and 3 with her and can't say enough positive things about her. She explains the topics very well, welcomes questions any time she is available, and has a true passion for the subject. If you need to take math, you need to take Cantwell.
Best teacher I've ever had. You get what you put in.
Best teacher I ever had. Always willing to help, and is really easy to follow. If I had the opportunity I'd take any class with her. You really learn the subject.
U all complain about her not covering "basic" material.... that is b/c your not in a "basic" class anymore. How does she have time to teach the "college algebra" material when she has to keep going over how to factor, or add frations, or simplify radicals, which if you passed your last math class you should already know how to do that. Stop whinin
Great teacher! Online homework using webassign. 4 Extra credit opportunities. One bonus on each test. Lowest test dropped. Gives good examples during class. 30 tries on homework. Hard class, must put forth effort. Not an easy "A". Well worth it though, one of the better math teachers I've had.
I have had the pleasure of taking Mrs. Cantwell the past 2 semesters. I have made A's in both Calc I and Calc II. All you need to do is ALL homework, try the extra credit, and do the practice exams. Calculus is not for slackers. Be prepared to do 20+ hours of HW a week to be really successful. You do not need to buy a text, you can use E-book too.
Where should I start, Very excellent, clear on what she expects, but hard as well. Expect to spend 30+ hrs on homework and reviewing but at the end it will be worth it. I had the honor of taking her for Calc 1 & 2 and im also taking her for Calc 3. Some advice, make friends because you will need them, trust me.
Fantastic teacher, available and cares about students. Her explanations were very clear, took time to answer all questions, got tests and grades back to you right away, and gave plenty of extra credit. I'm not good at math, but got an A in her class taking Algebra in 6 weeks because of her helpfulness and instruction. I will gladly take her again.
Professor Cantwell is EXTREMELY helpful is her area. She is smart, and easily approachable when needed. The extra credit in this class REALLY helped me out! I would take every class with her if I could! Sign up for her class and you'll know you made a wise decision!!!!
Simply the BEST!!
Great professor. She is so helpful and makes sure you understand math. Best math professor I've ever had. Just remember to take notes since they really do help!
Professor Cantwell is super nice and helpful. Explains things well and gladly answers any questions. She offers TONS of extra credit, take advantage of it! If you do the practice tests online, you'll do fine on the tests(and it's extra credit)! Definitely taking her for Calculus over the Summer, only because her Spring class was already full!
She explained everything well and had extra online help if she was not clear enough in class. Had lots of extra credit. I have nothing bad to say about this professor.
Easiest college math course I've ever taken. She offers a test prep quiz and personalized homework for every exam, and they count as extra credit plus she offers other extra credit on top of that. She is crystal clear in her lessons and offers office hours if you need some extra help. AMAZING woman, it would be a huge mistake not to take her.
Great teacher!! Its amazing, I took College Algebra twice prior to her class and failed both with other teachers. Then when I took her I got an A. But,SHE'S NO PUSHOVER. Her tests are challenging, but not impossible. If you do all the HW, test prep quizzes(you get a 3-point bonus on your tests), extra credit, and actually STUDY, you'll do great.
Professor Cantwell is AMAZING!! She goes above and beyond in helping to make sure you understand the material. There are plenty of extra credit opportunities given for this class. Wished she taught all the math classes!
Not the best teacher to take if you struggle and dislike math initially. She's nice but you need to be good at math already to not be victimized by the math gods:\
A wonderfully, wonderful teacher. Like other commentators said lots of extra credit is offered. She teaches clearly and offers lots of resources for you to succeed. It is math you do need to do your work and keep up but Prof. Cantwell will give you what you need to succeed.
She is a really good math teacher! She works everything out on the board and waits for any possible questions. She cares about each and every one of your success. Do all of your homework, even though you don't want to. And do the study group option, really helpful for your grade.
This class is a bit difficult but if you try you can do it. Just do all of your homework and the study group hours (even if you do them at the ASC) and you'll be good.
She is an amazing teacher and every time I needed help she was there to help. Whenever I would e-mail her she would respond in a decent matter of time. I am definitely going to take her again.
I've never written on this thing but this is by far the BEST CALC teacher EVER!!! I took this class 3 times with 3 different teachers and they all sucked and weren't helpful. But yo, this for sureeee BEST TEACHER. i love her. she WANTS you to learn and even though i hate math everything was straight.
By far one of the best professors I have ever taken at SSC! I haven't taken a math class in ten years. I was petrified! If you keep up with the homework, take good notes, attend lectures there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON you should not pass with a high grade! If I needed higher math courses I would certainly take them with her!
Great person and great professor. She is good at explaining and makes sure everybody understands the content. If you do all the homework and write down what she writes on the board, you should get at least a B easily
Great teacher! Iam not very good at math and I got an A in her class. She teaches so well you really understand it. I recommend her to anymore. Attend class, take the notes and do the homework, it really helps. She also offers extra credit which is nice. She always responded to emails right away and helped with any question you had in the class.
She is very knowledgeable and knows to deliver her material very smoothly. I would definitely recommend her.
I dreaded the thought of having to take math, but this teacher is super awesome. There are a ton of extra credit opportunities and is very approachable when you have problems. She made math really easy for me and I will be taking another class with her.
Mrs. Cantwell was certainly a wonderful teacher! She is VERY clear when she lectures and she offers extra credit too! She even has her own grading program you can download so you can know your grade 24/7 which is amazing. I would recommend her to anyone out there. I will be taking Calculus I with her :D
Very good professor! Material was clear as were directions. If you did not understand the material, you had to learn it on your own, which was fair. Only complaint is that she is a very boring lecturer. Being stuck in class for 2 hours was often times unbearable if you catch on fast to the math.
She does book examples as her lessons and the rest is on you. I am not really a fan of that style of teaching. I paid for her to teach and explain, not show me and let me figure out the rest.
I was nervous starting w a Calculus course after no math in 10 yrs., but Ms. Cantwell made my nerves go away. Very clear and thorough with the material, and takes extra time if needed to make sure everyone understands before moving on. Make sure you show up for class and stay on top of the homework. There are also many extra credit opportunities.
I've taken Professor Cantwell for practically every math course I've had to take. She is very fair with grading. As long as you keep up with the homework and go to class the tests are pretty easy. You can't completely blow off the class and expect to get an A. Do the work and you'll be golden.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS if math is not your strong suit. She moves extremely fast, assuming every student is a math genius and can keep up with her pace. Tests and quizzes contain material not lectured over. LOTS OF HOMEWORK!!! Do not take this class unless you can commit at least 20 hours or more per week otherwise you can kiss your GPA goodbye.
Ms. Cantwell is a wonderful teacher. Very caring and helpful. She wants you to succeed at math and life in general.
One of the best teachers I've ever had, but don't expect an A merely because she's a great teacher. Calculus is an extremely difficult class no matter who you take it with, but take solace in the fact that Professor Cantwell leaves the difficulty to the material and not her teaching. Would definitely take a class with her again. Phenomenal help.
She is extremely nice and works with you to help you receive a better grade. Her class is very important and do not want to miss. She can teach very quickly but will ask if you have any questions through out the class. If you struggle in math and need a teacher that will help you get through it, she will be the one.
do not take her! take lochnicht or any other professor. her tests are really hard. no extra credit. homework is outrageous. please save time and money and choose someone else.
took her twice for two separate classes, and she was terrible in both. she is good in explain things. but she teaches way too fast. for example... instead of reviewing for a test the class before, she moved on to the next chapter. DO NOT TAKE HER!
Very good professor. Be sure to do the homework on time and all of the extra credit for it really helps in the end. Tests are a huge portion of your grade so be sure to study for them. Prof Cantwell is very nice and will help you with any questions you might have.
One of the best math teachers I've ever had. She explains things very clearly and if you have any questions she will answer them, you can always see her after class too if you need a more thorough explanation on whatever you got stuck on. Will definitely take again in the Fall for my next level course. Calculus is tough, pick a good teacher fellas
If you do hw n extra credits n study for every test . You will be ok
If you're bad at math, this is the class to take! She makes everything so simple and if you work at it, you'll definitely get an A. Best math teacher I've had in this entire school.
i took her over summer. she teaches like you're in middle school. its insulting and isnt helpful. its frustrating. i do not recommend at all. especially if math isnt your specialty. if your not in class, you won't pass. does give extra credit, but it can only help so much. you have to do homework.
Professor Cantwell was an excellent teacher. Gives lots of opportunities for extra credit points which help a lot. Clear in the grading and posts grades quickly. Do you homework on time. Expects you to be at the necessary level but is very willing to explain and is responsive to emails and available after class. She wants to see you succeed!
She is a very nice woman and teacher. She gives as much extra credit as possible. Very caring. College Algebra was by far the hardest courses i have taken. I ended up getting a tutor outside of class to help me. Homework on MyMathLab is a must. If you are good at math you will be fine but expect to study A LOT. I recommend taking her.
She is a great teacher. If you have any questions for the homework all you have to do is ask and she will show you exactly how to do it. I have a math brain but I was nervous coming into this class. With a little over a month left in the class I have an 89.58. TAKE THE TEST PREP QUIZ. It's such an easy 3 extra credit points. If you try you'll pass.
Professor cantwell is great, sweet lady but students show up late constantly and it seems she does nothing about it. People that show up late should get in trouble for disturbing her lectures.
Cantwell teaches very well and always tries to make sure everyone understands what she is teaching. dont need the textbook but need to buy the code for MyMathLab. gives quizzes, 4 tests and a final. do the homework to help study and boost your grade. She gives plenty of extra credit so even if youre not good at math you can still pass.
This is literally the best math professor i've ever had! Her lectures are absolutely amazing and she breaks things down so you actually understand everything. She actually cares about her students and wants you to succeed. She pretty much tells you want to expect on her test so along as you listen and actually do your homework, you'll pass!
When I was young I was excellent at math but then after a series of horrible math professors, I grew to hate it. That was until I had the honor to have professor Cantwell as a math teacher. I would recommend doing the homework for at least an hour after each class with another classmate. That will help you secure an A grade. Thank you, professor!
She cares about your success in her class. Responds to your questions in a timely manner. I would definitely take any of her classes if you could! Easy to understand, makes concepts of calculus fun, if that is possible.... Best of luck
Excellent professor. She does not try to thrick. What u see on the homework is what u get on the test. I really recomend her.
She is a great teacher and really cares about students. Would recommend to anyone.
Mrs. Cantwell is an amazing professor! She really cares about her students and wants to see you pass the class. If you do your part in class and homework you will pass with an A and get a study group together.
She is great. Took her for Calculus I. She is very helpful and clear. Gives a lot of extra credits including extra 10 points if you have more than 10 study group hours.
Calculus is a hard class but she made it easy to understand and she is always there to help.
Shes an awesome teacher! I havent received anything higher than a C in a math class since 3rd grade. Im so bad at math nd previously dropped this class 2 x's but she explains everything great, even when we missed days bcuz of irma. She gives so much extra credit u can raise ur grade a letter just by study groups. Dnt buy txtbook. Go 2 class 2 learn
Prof Cantwell is a master teacher. She is shinning example of what all professor should aspire to. I think she retiring soon. Take any of her classes while you still can!
I loved ms. Cantwell she was awesome and gives so many opportunities for extra credit of course you must study in order to pass but she makes it easy to understand the material.
Great teacher. Took her for college algebra. Really did a good job of explaining lessons and tries her best to help answer any questions you have and go over the homework or tests. I plan on taking her again for Analytical Geo w/ Calc 1
Best math teacher I've ever had. I struggled very hard for a B in a previous College Algebra class and worried that Calculus would be my hardest class ever. Professor Cantwell made it easy to understand and wants to make sure you succeed. Even if you are no good at math, you will do well in this class as long as you show up and do what she asks.
Her lectures are fantastic. Well organized, going through all the essential content that will be tested. There is lots of online homework, little extra credit. You can be exempt from the final. She normally reviewed for upcoming exam and explained what types of questions would show up.
Professor Cantwell is amazing! Coming from someone that struggles in math, I highly recommend! There are a few quizzes but you always know ahead what to study. Exams are very much based off problems you've seen in lecture or on her exam review. She breaks things down to make math so simple, I wish her classes fit in my schedule every semester.
She is passionate about the subject and it shows. I believe she legitimately loves teaching it and does everything possible to help you understand.
I would not recommend this Professor. Test preparations have nothing to do with the exams. She does not conduct a review before the Exam, so you are on your own. You spend so much time studying, then you take the Exam and it is nothing like what you studied. Gives a lot of extra credit. If you are good at College Algebra you will be fine.
Never cared to come on this site but I couldn't let this one go unnoticed. Hands down best professor I've had. Do EXACTLY what she says on her syllabus/emails and you will SURELY pass this class. I took her for Online Calculus (made me nervous) but I definitely understood her lectures. Shes always responsive if you need extra help. Awesome teacher!
I was nervous about taking calc but Professor Cantwell really breaks it down. She reviews what you need to know from previous classes so you can understand the material that you're lecturing. There is a lot of homework but you REALLY need to practice it. I wish other professors took the initiative as she does to help us suceed.
Cantwell was such an amazing professor! She loves what she does and you can definitely tell by the quality of her lectures. Dont be afraid to ask questions if you dont understand whats going on! Calculus is a hard class on its own, but with Cantwell it seemed so much less intimidating.
She was a great teacher! I didn't go to class for anything except the tests. There is alot of homework through my math lab, but I feel like that's pretty standard for a math class. 10/10 recommend her!
Cantwell truly wants you to succeed. She gives amazing lectures and will thoroughly explain anything you have questions on. She gives an ample amount of extra credit. Her test reviews help to know what is specifically going to be on the test. Doing some, if not all of the homework for a current lesson will help in the next class.
Her videos are very well done and easy to follow. Online hmwk/ quizzes through WebAssign- very tedious/ time consuming entering in your answers. Longer to enter the answer than working the problems ;) Proctored test. She's fantastic communicating with, always there to answer questions, super quick response time, which I love-She's a good teacher.
Toughest grader I have ever had and what she teaches looks nothing like whats on the test.
While I am in concepts for calculus online due to the pandemic, I usually struggle with math. I bought the textbook, but each week she posts detailed videos to follow along, so as long as you watch the videos, your set for the tests without the book. She posts additional videos for questions that she receives questions about explaining the process.
I took concepts of calculus online and I wont lie it was quite a bit of work, but professor Cantwell posted good lectures that explained pretty much everything, and if it didnt, she would answer my question in like 5 minutes! Overall I learned a lot through the resources provided and got a good grade, would take her again.
