There are not enough words for how wonderful a math teacher Cyndy is. I put off college for 4 years because of fear of math. I did better in this class than I ever dreamed I could do in math, and it is almost all because of Cyndy. In orientation one of the first things she said was there is no question too stupid to ask. I am taking her for MO3.

Cindy is a wonderful teacher but I cannot recommend her MATHMO3 online class. It is a ridiculous, nearly impossible amount of work for nothing. If you took MATHMO1 you already know everything from this class. It is like a review with quadruple the homework. Also, as great as Cindy is her syllabus was unclear and led to confusion and lost points.

Cindy was an amazing Calculus teacher. She's been teaching for a really long time, so she knows what she's doing. My only complaint was sometimes she talked too fast. However, she was extremely positive and supportive of her students, and always very willing to help. Cindy is very fair and wants to see her students succeed.

She's got to be one of the best math teachers I've ever met. Lectures more than clear - she will make sure everyone's on the same page before jumping into the next subject.

She's very nice and helpful, but very unforgiving when it comes to grading. No notes or calculators on tests. Extra credit totalled to 10 measly points, which does nothing for your grade. All the points are made of up of tests or quizes. If you slip up on one test you're pretty much screwed.

One of the worst teachers I've ever had. She seems very friendly, and is helpful, but is one of the harshest graders I've ever had. Just when you think you've done well on a test, you find out you got a C. Even getting A's on all homework and quizes won't help your grade. Avoid her if you value your GPA at all.

Professor Reed is outstanding, she is through answers questions and really wants to help you succeed and pass her class. That is, we vocal and ask questions. You need to do your homework, for the quizzes come directly from the homework. She has funny stories and analogys for Math that really help if you listen.

If you struggle in math, do not take this teacher. She goes VERY fast through the problems. She doesnt really "teach." It is a very fast paced class. Quizes every week. On the other hand, if you just need to refreh math skills, I can imagine this class would be great. She does not make you do any homework.

Only take this class if you already know Algebra and you want a refresher course. This is not the class to begin learning. She shows a few problems on the overhead then you split into groups to figure out the problems assigned. You pretty much teach yourself at home doing the homework or hire a tutor in addition to attending the math lab.

I'm naturally not good at math and when I took this class it was very unhelpful. We did over 120 math problems for homework each week and they didn't even count as our grade.

If not, make sure to work with the class tutor or tutoring center and do all the homework. 3 exams, a final and every lecture group work that is graded, and a quiz before leave class.

But, if you are determined and not a slacker, her hybrid class is pretty simple. Work hard on the study guides, they are very very similar to the tests.
