SHOW UP! Not only does she pass out candy but she makes sure you learn. If you struggle with the concept of math, she will set you for success. She provides constant interaction between tutoring department, her office hours and even personal email to ensure you are grasping this. Set me up for easy sailing in future stats classes.

Cindy genuinely cares about her students, and wants them to understand the material. She makes herself available much more than just in class, will walk you through a problem if needed just so you can understand the material. Great professor, inspirational and changed my perspective on. From a "D" in math56 to an A in Cindys class. reccommended!!

Prof. Perry is absolutely amazing. One of the best professors I've had at Palomar. She is tough and definitely makes you work for your grade but she takes ALL measures possible to help you succeed! She even provides her home phone number if you ned to get a hold of her immediately. Would 110% recommend Prof. Perry!!!!

She always has a positive attitude and really cares about her students passing the class. She makes the lectures enjoyable, interesting and tries her best to make it easy to follow. Has lots of homework but it's identical to the test, which she is a tough grader for. Overall, She was a bit tough for me but I worked hard and she acknowledges that.

You have to show up for class and do the homework, but she will definitely help you if you are struggling. She is a really great teacher that makes learning this information much easier. I don't normally enjoy math but she made this much more digestible. She is extremely entertaining and you will not be bored in class. She'll help you immensely!

Professor Perry is a really awesome teacher, she makes the lectures really fun and interactive. Her lessons are clear and if a student is struggling to catch on she will do her absolute best to help. She gives good tests, homework is manageable and she also makes herself available during off hours. If you need psych205 take Proffessor Perry.

Cynthia is a great professor and will really break down the material so you can easily understand the concepts she is teaching. If you have a question she will do her best to respond in a timely manner and assist students outside of the classroom. However if you read the book sometimes the lectures seem a bit repetitive. Very optimistic professor.

During the syllabus reading I was a bit uneasy about staying in this class. She let us know upfront that the course requires a lot of work and she was not an easy grader. Throughout the semester I have grown to love this class. She is very willing to help students who ask for it, and no question goes by unanswered. She even supplies the textbook!

She's a great professor! at first she might seem intimidating but once the class moves along you'll see she's not bad at all. most of class time is just lecture and working on practice problems that resemble test questions. exams are a mix of m/c and problems that require showing work. textbook is available at the library to checkout.

This class made me, who failed algebra three times, like math. She structures her class well, she details exactly what's expected- no surprises, and she is the most efficient grader I've had at Palomar. You get your test grades within days. She herself is a card- she's exuberant and passionate, and honestly an inspirational teacher. I adore her.

She was a fantastic statistics professor! When I took her class, I was retaking stats since I struggled taking the class online last semester. I was worried about the class since I thought I was horrible on math, but I'm actually not! She is very helpful and very easy to reach outside of school (email and by phone). Make sure you study and do hw!
