She is definitely old school. If you are like me and enjoy seeing pathetic slackers (pretending to be students) squirm - take her classes.

She is so scary at first...but listen and do exactly what she says and you will make a GOOD grade. I followed her instructions and had a 108 average in her class.

Very hard but I learned a lot!

she is one great teacher. All you need to do is work hard and think possitive. I had problems when I decided to get another instructor, he started at a different point and I had to play catch up. Professor crumb is a good instructor but she has a different schedule when it come to teachings. Keep that in mind. I am in the air force now and i will never forget the hard work I had to put into getting a job accomplished.

I took her husband too. He is a total mind wiper. He revealed that his wife graded his tests so I took her. Those who rated her low would say having to actually work in a class and getting no (extra credit) work a bad thing, unless she has vastly changed in menopause or something. The math clinic students she assigns (unless you are in a semester with an anal student) are some of the best. It can be difficult to understand her just because she thinks a little dyslexic like me:)

Mrs Crumb expects you to know your stuff. I wanted to drop at first, but if you stick with it you'll get it.I strongly suggest if you have any problems GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS.She is more then willing to help!!

Mrs. Crumb is the best math teacher I have ever had. She inspired and pushed me to my full potential. Yes, she expects a lot out of her students but she gives twice as much back. I only wish that she taught CAL II and III. If you want to slide through math don't take her. But if you want to really learn and know your stuff, then she is for you.

Not for the faint hearted in math! Very good teacher though.... takes the extra time to help if you ask. She has a very unique outlook on math and when you have the basic understanding down, her methods make everything easier. LOADS of hw so be prepared to put in many extra hours for this class. Great teacher if you love math like me =)

Very nice teacher but very hard. If you are good at math and want a class that will really prepare you for upper level math classes, take her. She is tough but very willing to help people succeed. I wouldnt take her again but I think that she has helped me for the future.

had her for cal II. she's really rough, so if you don't like going to class or doing homework, you should prolly look elsewhere. she has an odd sense of humor, too.

Math is one of my favorite subjects. Dr. Crumb is very knowledgeable of what she teaches. I enjoyed this class, but you do have to work for your grade. She will explain something many times until you understand it. Work load is HUGE, but i think reasonable. I would recommend if taking higher maths.

Tough but fair. Really knows math and will make sure you know it too. Expect a huge workload but a better understanding of Calculus at the end of the semester. Wish she taught Calculus II this semester.

Great teacher... Students need strong math skills.

I don't know. I liked her. Her teaching method was a bit odd,yes. BUT, she makes you feel that the grade you got is the grade you really earned in the class. Go to class, do the work, don't be afraid to ask any questions, and you should be fine. Can't guarantee an 'A' though, heh.

Okay, I am really sick of the winers that complain about crumb. Yes, she is hard, gives tons of homework, and is a tough grader. But newsflash this is college! She expects a lot from her students and you have to work hard for an A. TAKE HER..GO TO CLASS..DO YOUR HW.. STUDY.. ASK QUESTIONS and you will pass. and prepare your self for the real world

i hated this teacher at first.. But i didnt drop, i stuck with at and it helped me a lot. She is very hard but she gets to the heart and soul of math. method of teaching is weird but if you ask for help, she will help.. She also gives a pretest that is exactly like the test. If you have a future of math, take her.. very sweet lady and prepares you

Slightly more difficult than some other Cal 1 classes quite possibly. At the same time, however, I feel like I learned more than other classes. I would suggest going to class every day and doing bonus homework. She grades on a large curve usually.

Not sure why everyone thinks she was so mean. She was extremely nice, and very willing to help anyone who was helping themselves. She is very difficult and expects a lot from her students. But if you really put in the effort, there's a low chance of failing the class. I liked her..

Easy A if you come to class everyday and pay attention. She will not leave a student confuse. Only thing that may seem troublesome is that she only gives two tests during the semester, the midterm and final exam. Beware only 10 questions.

Great teacher if you already have some basic knowledge of algebra. Assigns lots of homework and grades it each week.Very fair in grading. Gives points where ever she can. If you go to her office hours and she sees that you are making some effort she will help you out in the end. Overall, not a terrible teacher.

She is extremely tuff. However, if you plan on taking follow on math courses it would be worth taking her. Because she demands that you learn the matirial.

If you want minimal effort and a tough time in future math classes, don't take her...she is the only instructor that truly cares how you do, which explains her high expectations. She isn't just "showing up", she's there outside of class to help and gives ample extra credit towards the end to help boost your grade. Keep an open mind

She is definitely one of the most hardcore professors around. She is tough, and set in her ways. However, I respect her and she will work after classes or in between her time to help you as much as possible. If you are a complainer of professors don't take her unless you want a real challenge.

Professor Crumb is great for any person who wants/needs to UNDERSTAND math, if your degree doesnt involve high level math pick someone else. Class is a lot easier if you see her in her office, she really wants you to do well.

She is tough! Do your HW and all assignments. she is very helpful if you take the time to go to her office and ask for help. would not reccomend her to a lazy worker.

I DONT KNOW WHY EVERYONE IS SO HARSH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT I LOVE THE CLASS SHE ALWAYS KEPT ME LAUGHING. I MADE AN A IN HER 112 CLASS AND THE ONLY REASON I FAIL 115 WAS BECAUSE I STOP GOING TO CLASS FOR STUPID REASON.

She didnt seem that bad to me. Very strict on what she wants for homework and how to format answers on the test. But I came out with an A. Just have to stay on the homework and online homework because I would forget sometimes

I never understood math until I took her course. Hardest class I STILL rave about to others as being the foundation I wished I could've gotten years ago. Take her - you will work hard, but it will be worth it, especially if you have students who "don't get it" one day in your own classroom.
