This teacher adds life to a boring subject

for such a boring and difficult subject she taught well and I would recommend her to any student who is required to take any math she teaches.

Ms. McGinnis is the best math teacher at OWCC, maybe the best mathe teacher there is. If you don't understand a concept, she always has another way to present the concept so that you do get it.

Great Teacher, very personable

For a math dummie like me, she was the best math teacher I have ever had. She is very nice, explains well and is willing the help. Lots of work but it pays off. I ended up with an A, and made a 100% on the final!!!I recommend her for any math class!!

I enjoyed this class. I always had B's in math classes in highschool, but I had A's in both her classes, well worth the time. If you think statistics will be hard, take it with her!!!

Never thought I could enjoy a math class of any type, but really enjoyed her statistics class. Great teaching methods, used things you could relate to in real life. Fun classroom activities and some writing assignments which were great for those of us with math phobias. All around great instructor!

Great Teacher for those who want to learn. The children should stay home.

Great Teacher

I really enjoyed this class. She has a way of explaining things that non math people can understand. If someone doesn't like her teaching its because they are lazy. She makes you work but its worth it.

I really enjoyed her interaction with students and the course. And I hate math but now I kinda of like it

Ms. McGinnis is an awesome lady. She does have a unique method of teaching, and it is fair to say that she expects you to review the material before class, but she was ALWAYS willing to help both in class, and during her office hours.She bent over backwards to make I sure I understood every concept everytime I presented a question. She was good.

Excellent teacher! Ms. McGinnis makes learning math so much fun and gives such interesting assignments.

Great Instructor!!! Its refreshing to have a teacher present math in a fun and interesting way. There's lots of work to do so don't expect easy.

Love this instructor! Wish I had taken her the first time I took statistics!

Very helpful. I made the best grades in my life in any math subject because she is a great teacher-unlike my HS teachers.

Excellent

Okay people... This is the third class I have taken with Ms. McGinnis... I took Beginning Algebra, Math for Lib I & II with her. I am not good at math at all but if you TRY in this class and treat the teacher with RESPECT (which a lot of students DONT DO) you will pass!! She WILL HELP YOU AND EXPLAIN things but you do have to earn your grade!

Excellent instructor. Hands on instructional methods. Very helpful. Would highly recommend.

I read several horrible reviews of this professor before taking her class and was terrified. However, not only did I wind up taking the class still-- but I enjoyed it and found her teaching techniques very helpful. I have a whole new respect for mathematics and am taking her again next semester!

Great Instructor! I love her teaching methods. She uses a hands on teaching method that gets us involved in the classroom. You really feel like you've accomplished something. Its not you typical math course. Very refreshing to have a teacher that teaches in such a modern style

Statistics is not an easy subject, and it's even more challenging via DL. You're not on your own; she almost overwhelms you with outside resources and she is very enthusiastic and helpful. Yet, when you hit the wall, it's pretty much up to you to figure out how to get over or around it. Be prepared to devote a lot of time.

She is one of the sweetest teachers we have. She will work with anyone if they are having trouble and is flexible with due dates.

Great Teacher! If you enjoy learning, take this teacher. If you're lazy find someone else. The students who don't like her are imature and lazy.

I enjoyed her class more than any other math class I've ever taken. She has a different way of helping you learn math

Decent teacher, you will be using mymathlab.com a lot. Make sure you go to every class, there are worksheets done that you cannot makeup if you miss class. Tests weren't bad at all and she posts old versions of the tests online for you to study.

Great Instructor - is always there to help you; even on the weekends

Great Teacher, will help you even on the weekends. She is very organized and gives us a semester schedule.

Very smart professor. Is very helpful but makes us work hard.

Great Calclus instructor. She's very helpful and provides lots of handouts. Is always there to answer questions.

Great Instructor! Will help you all you want

Great teacher. I enjoyed this teachers teaching style and personality. She is willing to help and is very clear on grading and tests

Very good instructor. She is clear in her teaching style. provides tons of notes.

Was a bit weary after reading comments, but I thought she was a great teacher. I took her online class and am terrible at math. She was very helpful and responsive. I loved the "view example" on the homework on mymathlab as it was VERY helpful with understanding the problem, easier to review than the book. I'd rate McGinnis with an A!

Online Math Liberal Arts 1 - She was fair and the assignments are clear. Any questions and she will address them. This is college - Do your work and assignments and you will do well. Extra credit is offered throughout the semester.

Great teacher. Very organized and helpful. She goes out of her way to help students. If you want to really learn math take Ms McGinnis

Great instructor! She will work with you if you ask questions. Put in the effort and you will do great in her class.

She is very good instructor. Patient and helpful. She gives students lots of chances to earn their grade.

This istructor has a great syllabus and calendar that is easy to follow. She is always willing to answer questions. Her tests and grading system is fair.

This is an online that is challenging to most students bu Mrs. McGinnis is very helpful and responds to email very quickly. I enjoyed the course.

Ms. McGinnis is an excellent instructor! She always asks if there are questions at the start of every lecture. This is college people! Do your work!

Great class! Ms McGinnis uses current events to help you get an understanding of statistics. She is very organized. Good student like he

Although this class was suppose to be an in class room class, we did everything online. Which really was not that bad. You did have to go to class everyday. Ms. Mcginnis is not a bad teacher once you figure out how she goes about doing things.

GREAT INSTRUCTOR! I feel so Mich more confident in math. She made me work hard for my grade but that's a good thing!

I love mrs McGinnis. She will always help you if you ask. She has alot of enthusiasm for math

She's a wonderful instructor! Very caring and helpful. I love the projects we did in class.

This is the best PreCalc teacher I've had at this school! I'm finally understanding math for the first time.

I took MS mcginnis class about 10 years ago. I now have a PhD from UCLA in mathematics. Follow her directions do the work and you will come out with a deeper understanding of math as a language

Students are so disrespectful. Mrs mcginnis is the best teacher at this school! I really learned a lot in her class. I'm using her teaching methods in the classroom.

I didn't like math until I met Dr. McGinnis. She helped me understand and I now love math! If you really want to learn work hard and it will happen.

Great instructor! I love that she answers all our questions! She is very kind and patient! She answers emails promptly

Mrs. McGinnis tells you where you will use math in your life. She is good at connecting book math to real math.

I find this class to be challenging. The professor gives us lots of chances to learn and make a good grade. If you don't like her it has more to do with you than with her teaching.

She I a good teacher. She gives a practice test for every test and allow us plenty of chances to make a good grade on the quizzes.

This is my favorite class!

The class is very well organized. Mrs. McGinnis answers emails promptly. She is very helpful. I've enjoyed this course.

Great instructor! Yes the course is a lot of work but this is college not high school. She gives us many chances to make a good grade. She assigns 12 quizzes and drops the six lowest grades. If you can't make a good grade in her class then its your own fault.

Wow! McGinnis lets us work in groups on our quizzes and use notes and the book. she gives us a study guide for every test and the test consist of the questions from the study guide! She is more than fair!

This is a hard class but Dr. McGinnis is very fair. She gives us the chance of writing the test questions. I like that she gives lots of quizzes but only counts the top 6. We are allowed to work in groups on the quizzes and use our book!

Mrs. Mcginnis is a good teacher. I enjoyed this class. She is very personable and will help you if you ask. I've been to her office several times. She always makes me feel welcome. I'm going to take her again for Liberal arts math

I took this course online. Ms. McGinnis answers email promptly! Sometimes within minutes! The course is very well set up. Learning on your own is hard but she is there to answer all your questions, even on the weekends!

I dont know why all the bad reviews. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had.

Ms. Mcginnis is a great teacher she has the ability to explain things in a way where students actually understand. The other people probably just gave bad reviews because they weren't just given A's for free.

Knows the material, but very disorganized. Would often schedule two chapters, but would often teach one well and rush the second. Good at answering questions outside of class.

This was an online class. I enjoyed the class. A good bit of material was covered and I am more confident in my mathematic abilities since taking this course. As with any online course, if you are in need of hand-holding by an instructor, you will be better served in a live classroom or perhaps some remedial courses.

I took Mrs. McGinnis for College Algebra and she was a great teacher. She gives very few tests, and they are all take home. She grades by a point system which gives you a better opportunity to do well in the class. Participation matters to her, but she is always available and helpful with any questions you have. Easy A in my opinion.

Prof. McGinnis is amazing. I'm horrible at math and failed with another, highly rated prof. I PASSED. COMFORTABLY. That's a huge deal. If you have a pulse, you can pass. You only have to do 10/25 quizes at 100%, homework, and tests. If you miss a test, your midterm or final count again for it. Take her if you're a creative thinker and bad at math!!

Great professor. She is always there to help you.

I learned that math can be fun

GREAT Teacher! She is very patient and will help you anytime you ask.

I really enjoyed her class. I feel like I can really understand statistics now

Very difficult class but I made it through. You really have to work in her class

It's math. What can you say. I think I understand it now and hopefully can apply it when I get a job. She will work with you and is always available for office hours. Students who don't do well don't really try

I really like this teacher. She has a good since of humor and makes learning math fun. It was a lot of work but it's math. Math is always work.

McGinnis is the best math teacher I've ever had. I like how she teaches and that she is alway willing to help you whenever you need it.

This was a hard class. I really had to work to make a good grade. Ms. McGinnis is very caring and will help you if you ask.

hard class but I enjoyed it. Professor McGinnis gives you lots of chances to make a good grade. You do have to do your homework.

WOW! I REALLY ENJOYED HER CLASS. THE FIRST TIME I CAN REALLY SAY I LIKE MATH.

I enjoyed this class and feel I learned a lot. I am taking Professor McGinnis for all my math classes.

Great Instructor. She grades using a point system which is great because a low percentage score will not bring your grade down. She gives quizzes almost every class period but you know you're going to have a short quiz. If you do your homework, you'll be fine. It is a difficult class.

Best teach at the college. I learned a lot this semester but it was hard work. As one of the reviews said, she doesn't grade homework but you are expected to complete homework out of the book. The quizzes are taken from the problems in the book. If you study you'll do fine.

Easy A if you do the work. She gives you so many chances to make a good grade in this class. We even did a real study using which was interesting to see how statistics is used. Because of the point system, if you happen to mess up once in a while, it won't hurt your grade. She's very personable.

Mrs. McGinnis allows us to work in groups. Gives take home tests. She doesn't grade homework but gives quizzes that cover the problems in the book. I liked the group assignments because we can work in a group.

I worked hard in this class but it is doable. Professor McGinnis is very organized and easy to understand. I enjoyed the class.

Calculus is a tough class but the teacher is fair and I feel like I'm learning a lot. I appreciate her concern. She is always there to help you

I'm enjoying this class but it's a lot of work. The professor is very helpful. She is always there to answer your questions.

She is always there when you need her. Answers emails almost immediately. I like that she is always giving feedback to students. Well organized course.

Mrs. McGinnis always answers emails. I've emailed to inquire about math problems I couldn't understand and she emailed back almost immediately. She is always sending encouraging emails.

This is a hard class but the teacher helps you whenever you ask. She promptly answers emails and answers all questions.

Great teacher; is willing to help at every turn. Be prepared to study though. She always answer emails and is very organized.

Tough class but professor gives back lots of feedback. Is always in her office and willing to answer questions even on the weekend.

Great instructor; of course its a difficult class. The person that sat next to me was taking the class for the third time. I enjoyed the class. The point system was beyond fair.

I learned a lot and more than I though I would in this course. I didn't like math and took it as my last class but Professor McGinnis made it enjoyable. It was a lot of work as a distance learning course but I'm glad I took it with McGinnis

I took McGinnis several years ago. It's because of her tough style that I'm successful today. Work hard in her class, do everything she asks you to do, keep your homework up to date. And always ask for help. She is always there to help students who ask.

I graduated! Prof McGinnis helped me all the way. Yeah, you have to do the homework but I'm cool with that.

Prof. McGinnis is really a pretty good professor. Most of the HW was online, and I liked that we could work on it ahead if we wanted to , because that gave me time to focus more on my papers later in the semester for other classes. She offered a good bit of extra credit options, and was always wanting to help the students when she could.

Very caring instructor. I took this class before with a different instructor. Dr. McGinnis is always there to help you learn.

Great instructor. Very personable. She is always in her office and will help you when you have questions.

Ms. McGinnis is a very dedicated and caring instructor. Math is always a lot of hard work but I enjoyed the class and all the help she offered.

I very much enjoyed Professor McGinnis' statistics class. I learned a lot. There were a few winners in class you just didn't have common sense because that's all statistics is. Common sense and learning to use your calculator.

Great Prof, easy to talk to. Emails back within hours. Calculus is a hard course but the prof will help you if you ask

Professor helps you any time you ask. I went to her office several times during the semester and she was always there.

This was the best math class. I was dreading coming back to school and taking a math class that I needed for graduation but the instructor made the course enjoyable.

Mrs. McGinnis helped me tremendously through this course. I was really unsure of myself at the start of class but though her always encouraging me I made it though the course!

Mrs. McGinnis answers emails almost immediately. Her D2L is the most detailed of any instructor I've taken at NWFSC. Learning math distance learning take work but she is always there to answer questions and help you through it.

Dr. Mcginnis has given us data that is relevant and interesting. We did a data analysis of dolphins in the bay. Since I'm a biology major, I found working with a data set directly related to my field of study most interesting. Statistics isn't an easy course but I appreciated Dr. Mcginnis's approach to teaching

I really enjoyed this class. It was a distance learning class so lots of work but Ms. McGinnis is always there to help you even on the weekend.

Even though I had to work hard in this class, I think it was a great class. McGinnis used data that was interesting to me and not just book stuff. Gives tons of handouts and examples to help you learn.

Great Instructor very personable

Really nice teacher. Very motivational. Home work is Brutal, 3 modules a week to include tests and quizzes that are 20-25 questions a piece on the program My math lab, so its gonna be annoying. Don't forget to check the board for challenge questions, and discussions. 10 points each.

Ms. McGinnis is a genuine instructor. She cares about her students. I worked hard in this class but found it do able. She's one of the best math instructor at NWFSC

Prehomework was the best for having time to review for the lecture. I found it very useful. Papers are turned back by the next class period on most occasions. I thought she was a great teacher. She called our quizzes learning opportunities which I though was cool and let us work in groups on quizzes and tests.

She always emailed me back within a few hours. She's great at responding to your questions. I admit I had to work had in this course but she has so many ways of helping you. Her course on blackboard had more content than any other professor at nwfsc. I graduated with my AA ! yea!

Ms. McGinnis gives feedback almost immediately. Papers and tests are given back usually by the next class period and always by the following week. She is always there to answer my questions and answers emails on the weekend. All math classes are work and I had to work for my grade but I liked the instructor

Wonderful teacher. Dr. McGinnis is always available when I stop by her office for help. She is very kind and caring. The course is difficult but she has helped me through. I'm not very good with algebra which makes this course difficult but Dr. McGinnis gives us algebra reviews which I believe helped my grade

This was a distance learning class. I enjoyed the class and learned more than I thought I would learn in a math class. I don't like math in general but Ms. McGinnis made it interesting. She returns emails almost immediately, which is amazing.

Shes a great instructor. Shes helped me tremendously throughout this course. Amazingly she answers questions on the weekends. Her handouts and videos are so helpful. We get three chances for every test. So if you mess up the first time you can take it again! I really enjoy the class

Mrs. McGinnis is so understanding. I've had a few set backs this semester and she so inpired me to keep going. She answers email almost immediately. I don't know how she does it but she is good with feed back and getting back to me.

If you want a class that's not test heavy, this is the one to take. There are graded assignments, challenge questions and discussions that are so much easier than taking a midterm and final. The set up of this class is somewhat different than what I'm use to but so much easier to make an A .

This instructor is the only instructor at nwfsc that answers emails promptly. Math is difficult no matter what teacher you have but she is always there to motivate me to do better. I don't really like math and this is my last math class. I'm glad I took it with Dr. McGinnis. this is the first math class where I felt I really understood it

I took her class online and like the layout of her class. She is very understanding and answers her email promptly. I would recommend any student to take any of her classes! It is a lot of work on connect but she is very fair in her grading system! I think she is a pretty awesome professor ...

Ms McGinnis is an awesome teacher. She has clear grading and allows us to take tests in groups of 2. She provides a calendar at the start of the semester. I always knew what we would be doing in class.

Ms. McGinnis was my instructor several years ago. What she taught me was very useful in the real world.

Great instructor! I learned a lot and was able to use it all in an engineering degree.

Best instructor I ever had. Wish she was still teaching here. Students who have the opportunity to study with her will gain skills for a lifetime. She is very caring and will help you anytime, even on weekends. You have to study but she helps to create a fun class. She is the reason I continued my education through the doctoral level.

Prof. McGinnis is a fantastic instructor. Her lectures are engaging and she's always happy to provide extra help. While the material is challenging, her guidance and resources like unstuckstudy ai make it manageable. Definitely take her class if you can.
