Awful. Whatever is taught in lecture is forgotten, and the materials she presents are often flawed. She'll stop in the middle of the presentation to fix it, and overall it just feels really jumbled. The TA's are pretty good. Her projects are kind of tough, though-- but she grades them pretty easily, so that's fine. :/

Worst Prof so far. There is no point in going to her class. Just show up for the Recitations. I never went and i got a 4.0 in the class.

Was an ok teacher, didn't directly deal with the students. The TAs did everything. You don't really have to show up to her lecture, and she'll even tell you that, but the recitations are mandatory, but easy. The TAs go over everything. EASY class.

Tests throw you a curveball, they are actually pretty hard.

Useless class. Lack of an actual professor. She needs to learn that lecturing is NOT teaching. Rarely helps with anyone that needs it. She seems to have a "I don't understand why you don't understand" attitude.

Pointless class. She is terrible at lecturing. She refuses to wear a microphone and so it is near impossible to hear her. Cannot take control of the class. Not good at answering questions. Just a bad experience overall.

Worst math teacher I have ever had. She lectures to over 200 students and only cares about getting through all the slides. Cannot answer questions, acts like we are children and gives out a project that is supposed to be "realistic" but is completely not due to her requirements. I learn more from my TA than her.

My worst teacher so far. Extremely rude when someone was attempting to turn in a field trip letter. Though the class is very easy, she does not give us time to take notes on the important concepts. Most people have good TAs but unfortunately, mine was not. The class is an easy GPA boost, but be prepared for somewhat of a hassle.

If you are a slow learner, terrible at test taking, and have a ridiculously busy schedule, stay away from this teacher. The class has over 250 people in it, and for whatever reason, she does not have a microphone, so unless your schedule is so free you can sit up front, you're screwed. The lessons aren't effective and the lab policy is very unfair

Refuses to wear a microphone so she is impossible to understand. A rude woman who spends 80% of the lecture telling you how much your life is going to suck because of all of your debt from student loans. Plus all of her TAs are unintelligible foreigners.

Not the best teacher I've ever had, thank goodness for my TA otherwise I wouldn't have understood anything.

Terrible, she makes you buy a textbook missing vital info because shes the editor. Your TA will be your lifesaver if you take this class. Very unclear, doesn't care about students or outcome of their grades. You'd do better to keep an old high school text book than buy the one she recommends. good luck if shes your teacher.

Why is she teaching in an lectue hall? Very quite and won't use a mic! Not helpful, condescending. Not a good teacher.

Ms. Horsmon is a very kind woman, however the class is structured horribly. Make sure you know the material well and can write fast. the midterm was only 45 mins. Everything is rushed, practice rounds, exams, etc. Heavily relied on the tutor lab and my TA. If I didn't have a good TA in this class, I don't know what I would have done.

Does not help people at all. Makes the class SO much harder than it is. The math is basic algebra. But the way she presents it makes it seem like vector calculus.

Aweful teacher. I do not usually rate professors on this site, but she was dull and not helpful at all. She would not allow the t.a.s to accept homework if the student was late to the lab even by 30 seconds. Expected everyone to get it the first time. She went extremely fast for people who like to write notes and you need them.

Uses a stupid book, doesn't help out at all with questions

she gives you 20 problems a week and if you get 19 of them right but skip one you only get 2/3s overall grade

i just want to warn everyone before they take a class with her....run don't walk. she gives countless useless examples and even after you complete an entire homework assignment, if you get one wrong, just plan on failing the assignment.

Plan to teach yourself. USE TUTOR LABS!!! She made it clear that having class during office hours was, "not her problem." Reviews for exams are outside of class time. Expected to use a book that wasn't even a textbook to understand. Grading very inconsistent. Class doesn't need to be as hard as it was.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! This teacher is useless, and inconsistent. Take regular calc instead of engineering calc, you will learn much more, and have a better grade. This teacher believes that you don't deserve to pass unless you "have mastered calculus". That won't happen with this lady teaching.

Wildly unhelpful; would not explain her example work, would not review homework or tests, would mark students down on *required* shown work without explanation, and her favorite quote was, "It's not my problem", when adressing classroomcurriculum troubles. Lots of self-taught studying, not much in terms of help.

She reads word for word from her slides, and if you have a question she will just reread her slide. Her exams are awful the class average was so low on the last one, I did her study guide that took 8 hours and still got a D. Also she starts her class "on time" which is five min early, and if you're even a min late don't show up.

This class is lecture and lab based. As far as a teacher overall all she does is read of slides that are already available to you. Best piece of advice is go to the TA sessions if you are struggling. Keep up on E-learning and Pearson My math lab. Practice exam are somewhat like the actual exam.

She goes through lecture lightning fast with lots of material covered and few examples that are useless in exams because it's nothing like that. The way she grades, she nit-pick EVERYTHING. If you are not 100% perfect, your grades will drop drastically.

Chris was willing to meet outside of class if I had a question & needed clarification. Other than that, she was rude and didn't respect her students, resulting in a lack of respect from them to her. If a student walks in on time or early, yet she already started class, she'll blame you. She is nice if you speak to her 1 on 1, but rude to the class.

Do not take her classes. She is rude and disrespectful to the class.

The lecture had 150+ people in it but no one showed up because there was no point. She spent all lecture on three or four example questions that had nothing to do with the homework. There were three exams, and they totaled 65% of the final grade. Homework is all online, and not easy. One on one was helpful though, and she did make to meet with us.
