Horrible professor due to her inability to properly treat students. After being disrespected in front of other students for asking a question I confronted her demeanor. She immediately took me and another student who made a comment to be dropped from class. The lead professor over math stated every employee of SAC knows she is mistreating students but is unable to do anything about it. Please just take another professor, but don't take my word for it - read all the 100 reviews .

I can't understand I paid a teacher to mistreat me. I dropped third day. The whole class feels the same way .
