Sinibaldi should NOT BE TEACHING, PERIOD. She is RUDE, OBNOXOUS, and stuck-up (on herself most of all) She cares less about her students. TCC should fire her so she can sit at home on her sofa with her husband - that's where this dragon belongs! Fire her TCC - After all, students pay for tuition.

Jumps at any chance to be rude or condescending in some way to her students. Likes to brag about how much she knows about Math to people who are trying to learn from her. Her attitude probably stems from bitterness of being a professor at a community college, and feels she has to prove herself...

She's not exactly friendly, but she can teach well. She is very intimidating and makes it apparant in class. She'll argue when no one asks questions and assume it must mean because the students don't know. If you give a wrong answer, she will make fun of you. As far as teching goes, sometimes her way is easier, and sometimes the book is easier.

This Sandra Bullock look-a-like is amazing! She tells you how you may use the math in the "real world" making what you do relevant. She ensures you get it before moving on. She explains WHY we are doing a particular type of math and the math's origin, which actually helps you remember it. Memorization of steps and rote teaching are not her thing.

She gives notes for each chapter and goes over what is required and what mymathlab would cover. Her lectures are easy to follow and gives you plenty of time to get homework assignments done. The only problem I had is her feedback is poor. We took tests that we never got back until the end of the semester. A lot of students were frustrated.

Worst math professor Ive ever had. Shes constantly talking about things that have nothing to do with math and we end up learning nothing at all. She assigns online homework and quizzes that ask questions that should be for an Economics class. Acts super self defensive when you ask her questions and attacks you personally too.

I received an A and I didn't really care for her. She talks a lot off subject and about herself . She throws random tantrums. It takes her forever to grade papers. We didn't know test grades until end of the semester. Many students were frustrated. Rude and has an attitude. Tests are easier than expected though.

Honestly, if i didn't buy the access code i would've dropped this class day one. We are put into group where we basically teach ourselves the content the majority of the class. She'll come by and ask if you need help at the end. If you do she'll make sure to let you know she doesn't know either, but it's in the book somewhere.

She doesnt know what she's doing for this new math course. She stays 1 lesson ahead of us and still gets confused on what to do. Saw another class with formulas and math across 2 boards and she doesnt write anything we get into a group and basically rely on them if u need help. She has even asked the class if we knew an answer because she didnt.

If you are not good at teaching yourself then you are screwed! She has no idea what she is teaching either. You can ask questions, but prepare yourself for attitude and a long lecture about it. She spends more time talking about her personal life then the actual material. BEWARE!!

I really enjoyed this teacher. She lectured really well and seemed passionate about what she was teaching. She really wanted us to pass and gave extra non graded quizzes for practice. Easy class if you like math. Could have gotten an A if I had studied some of the material more than I did. Lots of online homework to do. STUDY STUDY STUDY.

Sinibaldi is by far the worst teacher I have ever had. She is extremely rude, will not answer your question because she does not know the answer herself, and will call you out in front of class without hesitation. The only way she "teaches" is by reading the books problems aloud in class. She literally googles answers for problems. Save your money.

I had her back in Fall 2018 in MTH 167. I loved her class, To be fair, her class is tough and she can be finicky when it comes to work, but when she lectures, she makes the criteria clear. I'd say pay attention and keep up with the homework and packets and you'll be fine.

Good person but not fair when comes to grading. You mess one thing up? No second chances. You need to attend every class. It is basically a computer class, not a math class. So if you dont own a computer at home, do not take this class. Everything you are graded on is outside of class besides the tests.

Goes fast when teaching. She will explain it to you again if you don't get it. She made others feel dumb when they asked a question. Sit in the front if you want to learn and understand. She gave us 2hrs to take the test, half way through she said times up. I wasn't finished and I know I failed that test because I thought I had more time.

not sure how i felt about the course, mathematics are not my strong-suit, but she didn't make it any easier. for one thing, she's not the best person to answer your question because she'll try to make you look stupid and give you an answer like "why would you ask that? i've mentioned it multiple times" and continues to have that attitude. 2/10

The textbook was online, you have to purchase it. This class was very difficult for me and I personally thought she did not give great feedback. She is a nice teacher but if you ask a question she answers back vaguely so you are still left without help. Asking classmates for help was very helpful. Her assignments can be time consuming.

Ms. Sinibaldi means well, but her irrelevant tangents often take up a lot class time. Which leads to rushed lessons and at least for me a lesser understanding of the material. Some times she won't even be able to recall some aspect of a lesson, or incorrectly do something she must have done ten thousand times. Nice person, subpar teacher

Unless she's the last option, do not take her class. - Doesn't give good feedback - LOTS of closed book tests - Material seemed rushed and convoluted. - Sometimes talks to students that finish early on a test while other people are still taking an exam so it's hard to focus. - She makes you depend on your peers to help you.

Sinibaldi as a person is a bit different than her as a teacher, as a person shes become kinder and tries at least a little to be more understanding, she tends to talk often if she likes the students and it can be off-topic sometimes but good convo nonetheless. However as a teacher Mrs.Sinibaldi has to understand that we dont understand the material

As somebody who struggles with math, this was a refreshing math class. More of the learning done comes from online material than Ms. Sinnibaldi herself, but her own explanations and examples made certain difficult sections easy to understand. She does have off-topic conversations but gets back to teaching when needed.

uses mymathlab for homework which counts for grades. Test are pulled directly from practice test in there. Worth doing all of them. She actually teaches the concept and will explain them in a way you will understand. Really missed that now, compare to my new professor reads from a packet and doesn't explain any concept.
