Hayter was the greatest math prof I've had. She knows people hate math, gives opportunities to raise grade and makes it SO easy to understand. She is very organized and that helps a lot. I highly recommend going to class, its not boring its VERY helpful if you go. Hands you test info. Very funny and passionate about what she does HIGHLY recommend.

One of the best teachers/profs I've EVER had. Math is not my strong suit and I only needed one math course towards my major. Prof Hayter is the reason I passed! She genuinely wants each and every one of her students to do well. Easy A if you're already good at math. If not, there's a lot of wiggle room if you do bad on exams. GO TO OFFICE HOURS!!!

Hayter is a fantastic math professor, but she's a busy woman! I'm sure it'll depend on how each semester goes, but she has no TA's and a short block of time for office hours. If I leave class not completely understanding a concept, I have to struggle in the math place with others until we have a grasp on it. her "hayterisms" work wonders

She is very good at her job as a professor and knows what she is doing. Her lectures are packed with a lot of information so skipping class is not a good idea, she also takes attendance. The final exam was optional if you were okay with your grade after the final test. Be prepared for a lot of homework but it does help if you put in the effort.

Hayter: She does not give us any range of our grade besides the midterm grade (it's not definite, she only tells us if we are passing). Even during the pandemic she said "if it is given in at 12:03, it is late & will be graded as a 0". I asked her for an extension on an assignment bc my mental illness impaired my work, she told me no & gave me a 0.

She teaches incredibly fast. It's tough to process what she teaches you because you write down notes but can't understand the material you're jotting down. Get outside help, because if you don't you're practice problems become Googles problems to solve. At that point you learn nothing, so if you have her, get a tutor because it may be ur only hope.
