if u deserve A,take her class
She is patient and very helpful, and her explanation is crystal clear. She is one of the best professors.
she is one of the best professor in the math departument. i think you should take her if you want to revice the grade you deserve.
She is the best proffesors. Her tests are very easy. She is very helpful and great proffessor. If you attend the class,you don't have to study, because she explains very well.
She is really the best professor I took two courses with her and got A's. She knows how to teach and is very helful
She is an easy going professor. Easy HWs, easy tests. You will learn something about math but you probably licking the surface only. I recommand her. She is very clear. If you want A take her class.
she was fun... she moves fast so u have to be able to catch up... her teaching is clear and i loved her personality... she gives a lot of extra credit and u have to do it cause it will benefit u... if u do all the hw and assigments its a garanteed pass
I like this generous female professor who always wears her little white glasses.I had taken her course MAT200 in the summer session. she is so lovely that near every student in her class wants to take her course.
She is very enthusiastic about Math, its cute. She is a very good teacher. You learn what she is teaching because she makes it very simple and uncomplicated.
Eternally patient. Painstakingly simple explanations. If you know you are particularly weak at math and are looking for a professor on whom you can depend to be as understandable as possible, Professor Rizza is for you. Those who catch on quick might find themselves slightly impatient at times.
very good teacher
She is cool, I dont like math but she helped me out and was able to pass the ACT plus got a B. Thank you Prof. If you can take her class do it.
She is by far the best professor I have ever had in my whole entire life. She is extremely helpful and she is very good with exams. She gives you a break and gives you extra points on homework and adds it to the exams. Every exam we took maximum was always around 120. And literally everyone in the class passed. I recommend her and no one else.
I never understood math but she made it very easy. I agree with most of the comments here that she is VERY PATIENT and explain everything step by step. You have to be an idiot not to understand her. She`s great !! I got A :)
Great Professor. I failed the first time with another professor. I took it the second time with Rizza and got an A+. Very Patient and helpful. Explains every step. Gives homework and counts alot, but its good to do it in order to understand. Text are sometimes openbook.
free A
She is the one of the best professors in math department. Her explanations are clear, and she goes step by step so you will never get lost if you pay attention in class. She gives a lot of extra credit work that will count toward your test grades later. That was grate!!!!!!! She gives you much more opportunities to get a good grade. Highly recomme
Highly recommend her for everybody, especially for people who afraid of Math. After her classes I guaranty you will fall in love with Math!!!! With this professor Statistics is just a joke 
great
The kindest,best, smartest professor. She teaches in an understanding way that you can finish a problem in one second. very nice I highly recommend her for those who are weak in math.
She's extremely helpful to students. She's very kind and listens to your concerns. She wants her students to get an A. Best Professor in LaGuardia.
Good professor. Recommended. Chemistry was bearable after taking this class!
I just passed her class. She is a teacher!! She can teach with patience and understanding and at the same time be nice and funny
This Prof is soooo Nice and Funny. She makes the class laern with ease. Her examples for the lessons are on point and it seems hard but she knows how to teach it to us. She is also a patient professor and we all loved her!!!
I just passed her class. She is a teacher!! She can teach with patience and understanding and at the same time be nice and funny
BEST MATH PROFESSOR FOR MATH
Wonderful teacher, her exams were simple and she usually used questions from the (non mandatory) homework on tests. She also would give extra credit questions in case we got one or two wrong. Congrats on the baby!
Explains very clear, uses very helpful examples, manages teaching time very well, always on time, well prepare. one of the best math teachers. She really has a beautiful way to help us understand and learn new material in math.
very eassy and professor was extremelly helpfull.My whole class got As.I passes her exams on 110 % because she use to give us one extra question just in case if we misundertood something, we can still have chance to get a 100%!!!
great professor. got an A. extremely helpful the extra questions really help. even when i failed one test i still got an A with the extra credit and help :)
Excellent!!! Rizza is the epitome of what a math professor should embody. Her brilliance of teaching will sort of persuade you to become a Math Major. I sincerely hope I get a professor just as good as her for mat120
I am in love with her class! She is just so awesome, she helps student in every way she can. Take her you will not regret neither you'll fail her class. KEEP IT UP Professor Rizza :)
Thank the Lord for Professor Rizza. I love Math because of her. She makes sure everyone understands and challenges the whole class. If this woman taught any other Math class I wouldn't care what time it was, I would sign up for it!
She's a excellent Math Professor, I struggle with math, took class with other professor he didn't even knew how to teach and explain, but Professor Rizza explained everything so well in 6 week session! Must must take her because she's a gem in LaGuardia C. College! You will not regret taking her !
I LOVE PROF RIZZA SOO MUCH , SHE IS THE BEST SHE CARES FOR HER STUDENTS AND TRY TO HELP THEM IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE . TOOK HER THIS PAST SEMESTER 6 WEEK SESSION FOR MATH96 SHE HELPED ME SO MUCH AND BELIEVED IN ME . AS A RESULTS I PASSED THE CUNY EXAM IF IT WASNT FOR HER I WOULD OF NEVER MADE IT. AFTER THIS CLASS I ACTUALLY LIKE MATH . TAKEHER!!!
She is extremely nice, very understanding and tries to help in every way possible. Do not pass up doing the review exercises in the book as well as the extra credit questions. Do not be disrespectful in her class by having your own conversations please, she is so accommodating and when students do their own thing, it just looks plain bad
I was moved by this woman. I entered this class with 1 prof. I was confused though I normally get A's. Something happened & Ms. Rizza replaced him. If u want a professor that truly cares about the well-being of her students, truly teaches, allows questions, is patient, she is it. You will really learn in her class. Inside & out beautiful, rare gem.
Prof. Rizza is by far the BEST professor I have ever met in my life. She is very caring, she wants every single student to understand and know what they are doing. You ask a thousand questions, no problem she will clear that questions off your head like a magic. She's very clear with her lectures and definitely would take her classes again if possi
She is a wonderful professor. if you have a difficult time with math, i would suggest you take her.
Very good professor. She knows her math I'll tell you that. Very easy to work with. She'll help you if you need it, just ask. Communicates with students very well. Easy to pass her class if you just do the homework and work on the review.
I'm not here to bash Porf. Rizza. I'll be brief with my observation: For as good a mathmatician she may be, I didnt feel like she understood that not everyone can go at her speed. She had an air of expectation that everyone should follow what she does and get it from the moment her marker left the board. Wasn't happy with her approach.
Take her!This lady made my summer amazing! I took mat200 with her and she's awesome. She cares, teaches well, and helps you learn. She gives a lot of hw but that helps you understand concept. Do reviews and hw she gives and you will be good. Smart, nice, sweet- prof Rizza!!Thank you so much! Stay the best and I would take you in a heartbeat again!
I've had so many different math professors. Dreaded all but Prof. Rizza, is amazing! She helps you and always goes back if you cant understand. She may seem shes going fast but she will always help explain further. Def. would tak her again. She gives a lot of opportunities to get extra credit and she will meet you during her office hours. take her!
She is very organized. She is my elementary algebra and stats professor. She helps us on our test. She is very helpful on our midterm and final. She answers emails. If you hate math and your having trouble take her. She is very helpful and she make sure you understands. PLEASEEEEE TAKEEE HERRRRRRRR. Right now I have an A.
Excellent professor. I had to drop her class but she is a real gem. Cares about her students and knows how teach. If math is your weaker subject , Take Her. I look forward to taking her again next semester.
She is a slaaaayyy. Great lectures, very thorough. Lots of extra credit. Would 100% take again
Professor Rizza has the gift of pedagogy. She is a natural teacher. If you struggle with math and do care about learning, she is the right professor for you. She gives lots of extra credit, and is willing to go over a same topic a couple times until you get it.
I took this class in the second session. Even though she give a lot of Homework but it was really worth it. She's sweet and really helps students to learn. I'd recommend this class 100%, you'll learn a lot from her.
Take her! You will learn, she gives extra credit for days! There is no way you can fail her class. She teaches you step by step, she wants you to pass trust me when i say that. The course itself is intense but she makes it fun. This professor is here to help you pass. I failed the final but still managed to pass with a B. She lets you retake tests!
'All I can say that is "She's the best!" She cares about students and she knows how to teach. You can learn a lot from her.
She is truly the best math teacher I've had. She's a natural when it comes to teaching and truly cares about how you are doing in class. Don't hesitate to take her.
Shes very caring and passionate. She doesnt want anyone to fail. She encourages extra credit and highly recommended. If youre one of those that do struggle with math she offers tutoring for her class if you come earlier. When I needed help with my homework she always guided me to the the answers and a lot of the classwork is from the homework.
If you need to take MAT 200 or MAT 120, I highly recommend you take prof Rizza. She is hands down the best math professor Ive had at LAGCC. she makes the concepts of what your learning extremely easy to remember,she will help you one On one as well, is a very lenient grader on exams and she assigns a lot of hw that she converts to extra credit
Professor Rizza is the best in lagcc. She made math such fun and easy. I love her structure of teaching. She makes math as simple as she can!.i definitely recommend her. She is a real gem. Keep up the good work professor Rizza!.
If you are scared of math and have a bad math background, don't worry. She is life savor. You will start to love math classes. You will get lots of extra credits. I would strongly recommend Dr. Rizza for Mat 120 and Mat 200. Sad I doubt she dont have other math classes.
Can't express how Pre-Cal flew right thru me this semester, she is really caring and has high experience in teaching all her students in order to succeed. Just study the review and you will do fine- did I mention all the available extra credit she hands out- comes in handy. would love to have her again
I had MAT 119 with professor rizza. She is very kind and understanding. The only way you could fail this class is if u dont ever show up or put forth any effort whatsoever. Ive been out of school for 5 years, just now starting again and I struggled with math my entire academic life. Professor Rizza made it easy for me to learn the material
SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!!! finally a math professor who gives multiple opportunities, cares about her students and is super sweet!!! Im finally able to understand math she makes it super easy. I took Mat119 and she broke it down in ways other professors wouldn't even think of doing! Def gonna miss her.
SHE IS CARING!!! I recommend her because she will help you out and gives extra credit if your falling behind. Straightforward grader. The only way you'll fail if you barely show up and don't do her homework and classwork, she will help you if you need it. Deff will take her class again.
Professor Rizza is very helpful and friendly. Her teaching method is very clear. Gives a lot extra credits and make sure you understand each and every topic. She is not a tough grader at all. I would i like take her again.
She's the real gem. So caring, wants everybody to pass, offers a lot of extra credits. Again, if you put in effort, A is going nowhere. She just makes it so easy. I'm pretty good at math but she made me awesome.
Professor Rizza makes classes easy to understand. If you participate in class she will know that you are studying. She doesnt give due date for homeworks. The tests are easy. Try to not miss any class or you will be lost for the next class. She makes 1 chapter per class, so do the homework to practice what you learned in class. Extra credit.
Shes one of the best math instructors! shes super caring, she gives numerous opportunities for extra credit. She just wants everyone to pass. Shes the reason I understand math better now shes super patient and if I could I would take her again!
She is an excellent professor I have ever seen.
Gives a lot of Extra Credit highly recommend Professor Riza
She is amazingggg!!!!! Just take her, you won't regret ever. She cares a lot for her students. She will give so many extra credits for you to do well. Best professor I had in LAGCC. She is accessible outside the class if you need any help. She is so sweet and kind. Just Love HER. Highly recommend her.
One of the best Professor I've ever had, she teaches really well and work with all of her students.
She cares a lot and is delightful to learn from. Gives tons of extra credit. If you put the work in you will almost be guaranteed a good grade.
Amazing. I was dreading taking statistics but she makes it easier to learn and understand. She puts a lot of effort into her notes and she gives extra points on the test for completed homework. You wont be disappointed !
BEST PROFESSOR YOU CAN GET IN MAT!!!
the best professor. She makes everything easy
BEST PROFESSOR I've ever had. She would always look for ways for students to do well in her class by doing office hours, extra credit, etc. Her notes were extremely clear. You receive the grade that you put into the course. As long as you pay attention, complete the homework, and try your best, you will understand the content and prepare for Calc I
bad prof.
She's by far the best math teacher I've ever had in LAGCC, she's caring and want to make sure you understand. Although i took her class online it was as good and understandable as if it would have been in a normal classroom, I would have loved to meet her in person though ):
Took her in a short session. She gives extra credit. Multiple chances to resubmit labs for higher grades. She calls on people because she wants everyone to understand the material. Overall a caring and great professor. Ive never had a math professor make things as clear as she did.
So much homework and shes a tough grader, much tougher than other math profs
I had chose to take this professors class because of all the positive reviews but didnt know I was going to be embarrassed in front of classmates and be harshly graded to the point where I never got an explanation for my grade. This professor wont show you what you got right or wrong in the tests. She seems nice but she could be incredibly rude.
Very tough grader. She picked her favorites early on and humiliated other students for getting questions wrong. Impossible to teach if you love making people feel bad about themselves.
Professor Rizza is the BEST professor I've ever had. She is kind-hearted and has a great talent for teaching. Her notes are exceptionally clear and it made me understand the concepts wayyy faster. Lots of extra credit and your lowest exam grade dropped. I'd take her class again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Professor Rizza, EXCELLENT CLASS!!!
SHE IS AWESOME SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING SHE W=IS VERY UNDERSTANDING ASWELL SHE JUST WANTS US TO PASS AND DOES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS
Mrs. Rizza is the best professor. I highly recommend taking her class. She take care of the student, and she helped us one by one in class. For every question, she has explained to us everything. She worked hard with us.
I have always been afraid of math, but this Professor was the first to actually make believe I could learn. Her lectures are really detailed and her class is extremely organized. She always does reviews before any quiz/tests. The notes from class really helped with homework and she provided us with links to videos lessons as well. Amazing class!
She is a fantastic person and it is straightforward to speak with her. She is friendly with students and very helpful. I highly recommend her if you want to learn everything in class. She collaborates with students and helps them to achieve their goals. She is very nice.
She breaks concepts down so well, probably the best math teacher I've ever had. Precalc was a breeze because of her. She gives lots of homework, but we dont have to do all of them. She gave so much extra credit throughout the semester I ended up with a 120/100 for the class. She doesnt teach Calc here which is sad, I'd love her as a Calc professor
Best professor ever!
I am someone who deals with a lot of anxiety when it comes to Math and Professor Rizza made everything so much easier. She was caring and helpful. She understood how to structure her classes so that you would get the most out of it. She actually made the class fun. If you struggle with math, I recommend her.
She is brilliant when it comes to teaching. Breaks down all the concepts concisely and explains it perfectly so you not only can get a good grade, but UNDERSTAND. Possibly the best math professor I've had here, I just wish she taught Calc I and above.
The best professor I had this semester! She encourages you to try your best and will always give you more than enough opportunities to catch up on anything. She explains all the concepts very well and if you need help she has no problem repeating herself more clearly. If I could I would take her in every class she teaches!
Best professor!
My favorite Calculus professor ever.
She is great. Best professor I ever had. She grades generously and gives a lot of extra credit.
Professor Rizza is one of the best professors I've had at Laguardia. She is very encouraging, motivational, and offers many opportunities to earn extra credit. I took her class in the short semester and found it to be very difficult, however, her excellent teaching skills and enthusiasm helped me pass this class.
A very kind and easy going professor. Math has never been my strong suit, but I did enjoy taking this class as Professor. Rizza did her best to make everything easy to understand. One small critique I have is that I wish she gave us back our graded tests so we can use them to study for the midterm & final, but it's not a huge problem.
Professor Rizza is amazing; gives so many opportunities for students to do their best and even incorporates EC for those who answer lesson questions in class. I am fortunate enough to have taken this class.
Professor Rizza explains concepts well, always open to questions, but can be strict at times. Strict in the sense that she wants you to succeed in her class and do the best that you can, but also not taking pictures of the board. She enlightens the class from time to time, she smiles pretty often, and is overall an amazing professor.
She is an excellent professor and generous at offering extra credit.
Best Professor ever. She works with all her students
i love prof. rizza so much and i'm actually going to miss her 😕😞😭😢 if you aren't good at math, take her, and if you are good, take her. she's seriously an amazing professor, and breaks down the lessons well. if you fail her class, i don't see how that's possible!! 🤷‍♀️ if i could, i would go through this semester again with her in a heartbeat.
Best professor (I've ever taken) at LaGuardia. Works with and believes in all of her students. Come to all the classes, she goes step by step and makes sure EVERYONE understands. Sometimes also gives class extra credit just for being there. Take the class if you want to pass, esp. if you're not good at math, and need as a graduation req. like me :)
Professor Rizza is an amazing math teacher. She breaks down concepts clearly and is very engaging. Use Unstuck ai, practice questions, and attend her office hours - you'll breeze through this class. It's not too difficult, and she gives tons of extra credit.
Prof Rizza is an amazing professor. She explains concepts clearly. She truly cares about our understanding. She also motivates us with extra credit opportunities and provides valuable advice. Her dedication and support make a big difference in the learning experience. she will always have a special place in my heart!
Professor Rizza, takes the time to know whether or not you understand the fundamentals. Gives extra credit and does everything she can to make sure her lectures are transparent and fairly simple to understand. I would take her for every math course if I could, one of the best math professors I ever had.
Prof. Rizza is one of the best professors I have. Her lectures are very interesting and easy to understand. Everyday she goes over basic foundation and starts to lecture. She is caring and supportive to individuals need. I strongly recommend taking her all the classes if match to your schedule.
She is such a wonderful and caring person. She is really invested in your education and wants you to learn and pass. She is sweet and funny! I wish I can have her again because she is very passionate about her job. I really loved her. TAKE HER! You WILL learn, even if you don't want to.
LOVE PROFESSOR RIZZA! Everyone wants a professor who is kind, caring, professional, lenient, and here she is. Wonderful lectures that will leave you knowing the lesson from beginning to end. AMAZING!! You will definitely pass with her!
Professor Rizza is a genuinely nice person that does a lot to help students to succeed. She gives a lot of extra credit, so my all of my exam scores were far higher than expected. Her homework is straight forward and she explains math concepts slowly and carefully. It is an easy A, though I felt that her extra credit policy was a little too nice.
literally amazing. no complaints. she gives so many extra credit options its hard to get below an A. in order to understand material its best to go to class but you can teach it to yourself.
She is so sweet, a great professor, gives extra credit if you show up and participate, always tries to help the students to pass with an A. Her hw might be a bit too much sometimes but it's so worth it because it helps you study. TAKE HER i promise you will not regret it.
Professor Rizza has been one of my favorite professors. She is very kind and caring. She genuinely wants to see her students succeed. She gives extra credit opportunities for exams and goes over homework in class. This class is an easy A if you pay attention, study, and do your homework. I would recommend her to everybody taking statistics.
