Fantastic. Very helpful. Reinforces material and really wants you to enjoy the process and learn. Very patient with a good sense of humor.
this is an on line course but Deb makes herself available on line and off line when ever needed. she cares about her student and will help in anyway so the student will learn from her
Excellent teacher...online course is really tough though.
an excellent teacher, extremely helpful and wants you to learn. this was an on line class teacher responded asap, she cares about every student and makes herself available if need be. highly recommended
teacher was very helpful
Deb is a great teacher.She cares about her sudents. She wants you to learn and makes herself available if you need help. Highly recommended.
She is the most helpful teacher in the department. Loves what she does and tries to make sure you do too. If you show you want to work she will help you as best she can.

This is an online course, fastpaced, lots of homework. She's strict with grades. Not that prompt with email response, not that considerate. BUT she's very fair.
GREAT TEACHER WITH A GREAT PERSONALITY. ALWAYS VERY HEPLFUL AND UNDERSTANDING.
GREAT TEACHER! SHE REALLY EXPLAINS THE MATERIAL WELL, AND IS COMMITED TO HER STUDENTS
I have taken College Algebra with her and I would definitely recommend it!!! She is very helpful and a great teacher. A great class as long as you do all the work!
Great professor~ She really understands that we have lives and will help us in any way she can. She was always available for extra help and let us come in early for exams so we will have enough time to finish :)
you can tell you really wants everyone to pass. she is the nicest math teacher i have ever had. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
I agree...great teacher...great personality...she IS a very good math teacher. I wish she taught every math course. I would take her again for all of them.
Very good teacher..she is very helpful.if one is not there everyday u will be lost..
Had her for online college algebra. Very quick to respond to emails (which is good). Incredibly friendly and helpful. I recommend her.
this woman is a saint!
very nice teacher!
Deb is a great teacher. She will take time with students if they need it and will explain things until everyone understands them. Although the work is tedious and there is a lot, it only beneifts you in the end. She tells you exactly what to study on the tests. She makes Stats actually kind of fun. You'll enjoy her.
Awful teacher! I would never take her again! She claims she will help you, but when you show up, she helps with one problem, doesn't even make sure you understand it, and then has somewhere else to be. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! Very spacy, not clear at all, mainly expects the computer to teach you, etc. SO many reasons not to take her!
Excellent Instructor!! Was always there to help and very nice.
Professor Litwinko is a great teacher over all. Statistics is hard and she explains everything in a way that you'll understand. She is so good i'm taking her again for college algebra next semester. Very helpful, and pushes you to pass. Highly recommend her. 5 stars!
I had her for math 137 and 172 and i plan on taking her for stats, she is extremely helpful and will take time to explain things to you if you need it, definately recommend
I had Deb for statistics fall 2010. What a great teacher. It was an on line class with tests taken at the school. I have only ever been Average in math and with help - Hers and ACE - I did really well! Would highly recomend her.
She is a really good and nice teacher, sometimes it's hard to keep up with the work if you are doing it online. If you are good at math definitely take her, if not then you have to be really dedicated to learning because it won't be an easy A. But she will try her best to get you to pass.
Great teacher took her hybrid course (online and classroom time) She really makes the online lessons come together when she explains them. Very helpful with reviews.
She was ok.... math is an overall tough subject for me and she teaches in a way that she expects us to know... also she doesn't like when you ask questions she will answer you but get mad.
I am horrible at Math, but I had Debbie for online Statistics and she is definitely one of the best teachers I've ever had. She is so nice, helpful and truly wants the best for her students. I recommend her!
I had a rough time this semester with my mom passing. I missed some assignments. Ms. Litwinko personally called me on the phone to see how I was and when I could make up the missed work. She showed she cared. Its no free ride, you actually have to learn the material, but I will be looking for her again. Thanks for everything!
She is the greatest math teacher I've ever had! She is the kind of professor that loves her job and her students. She is quick to respond to questions and she is online everyday. She is a wonderful professor and extremely down to earth. Her class is a lot of work but you learn a lot You'll get a good grade if you try. I would highly recommend.
Outgoing and easy to talk to and understanding when it came to quiz and test deadlines.BUT,it was so difficult to understand her and though she gave just 3 fat tests in the whole semester, it was too much info to grasp at once. No review for the final (wtf moment). Overall, she has a cool personality but her teaching style is all over the place.
I would have to say that if you struggle with math or are not up-to-date on the material, do NOT take the computer based course. There is no lecture at all, the course is entirely self taught through PowerPoint and MyMathLab. What a waste of time! Find another prof. I switched classes before it was too late.
This instructor is awesome. She takes the time during class to explain the concepts clearly. The course is nicely structured making is easy to learn. However, the course is a lot of work.
Very accommodating professor. Is willing to explain everything as many times and in as many ways as possible to make sure that everyone understands the material. She uses mymathlab for homework quizzes so everything is very easy to follow.
Awesome professor dedicated to her students, fair grader, highly recommend
Wonderful teacher who is extremely organized. Truly enjoyed her course.
She is a really good professor. She knows what she is doing. The best part is she is easy with the grading and stuff as she understands that people have busy schedules. I liked the way she had designed the class schedule over the semester.
I took the intersession Intermediate Algebra, which is synonymous for an entire semester of math in a mere three weeks. That being said, to anyone who needs this pre-req, take it with her! She is patient, friendly, and supportive. She even helped get me into a class for Spring semester purely out of the goodness of her heart.
I've failed Intermediate Algebra 3 times before taking Professor Litwinko's hybrid course. It was a combination of mymathlab help and the professor's patience that helped me to get a solid B in this course. She's very understanding when it comes to a few missed deadlines or if you need extra time to work on a lesson you're struggling with.
When I asked her for help she would just send me to the ACE center which would just confuse me more because they would teach it a way that was not her way and made it difficult too do it on paper when it came to test. Although she does grade fairly if you show your work. She just waist time on off topic.
I've been out of school for 2 years and I could not have asked for a better teacher to help me get back in the process. She was very understanding when I told her I work full time and was willing to work with me every step of the way as long as I matched her effort.
It was an OCLR math over the winter - It was condensed in four weeks. She helped me get through to take Algebra this spring. I really had to work at getting a C+. I have a 98% in Algebra. She is very understanding but you have to do the work...a lot of it. Do not recommend Math courses over winter break. You will set yourself up for failure.
Absolutely terrible! Not helpful what so ever. Very hard to communicate with. She responds to emails with very little detail and her responses are barely, if at all, related to the original topic. I asked for an extension on some missed assignments due to personal reasons and she replied with a question about the midterm exam...?
What a great professor! She enjoys making a fun learning environment! Even though I found math boring, class was always fun. If you ask questions in class, then the more you understand the material. I would recommend her. Ps Don't be afraid to ask questions!
This was an awful OLCR College Albegra course. She was not helpful at all, didn't respond to emails in a timely manner, or with any sort of clear communication method, and didn't provide any help for difficult problems. Some of her tests included material not covered in the lessons, and each lesson took about 6+ hrs to complete.
This online class was awful. The my math lab assignments took forever to complete, you think you had the material and the tests would throw in curveballs. The mid term and final exams were ridiculous (many people said they didn't pass!!) The portfolio project was extremely time consuming and no fun! Nice teacher, but wouldn't recommend this class.
Online was a poor choice. She told us give her at least 2 full days to get back to her I would ask a question on wednesday she responsed back monday after the assignment was due. Email her don't use the discussion forum takes even longer for an answer. Tests and 98% of assignments were all my math lab. The help just wasn't there.
She is the best teacher I've had. Unfortunately, I fell behind just because it was my first semester and I was already taking 5 classes, so I got stressed, and withdrew. But when I go back, because I need that class, I will take her again.. I never fully understood math and why we do things they way they're done until she explained it.
She did not do her job as an edcuator i went to her many times letting her know that i was having a difficult time understanding certain math problems her response was go to the ACE center they will help you. At the time you were lucky if there was a student there that did not have at least 5 other students needing help. if mathweakness NO 2 DEB
I absolutely love Professor Litwinko! She is Extremely relate-able to her students and really gets to their level when trying to explain something youre having a difficulty understanding. She is very flexible with answers on written tests and gives alot of partial credits. As far as online courses - she is very easy going about extensions.
Deb is my favorite professor at NVCC so far! She is very helpful with assignments and gives you tons of advice.. even on exams! If I could take every math class with her, no doubt in my mind I would!
I took Prof. deb in summer for 136 . I personally think summer class is easier for math. deb is very helpful and also we had an si class after where you would ask for help if needed.
Took as an online class and did well on the homework and quizzes on MML but the midterm was insane. She counts the midterm and the final as 50% of your grade so it was difficult to get a good grade once I didn't do so well on the midterm. Her office hours are not convenient for busy working students and she does not accommodate other times
explains everything well, very fair with grading.
Math is scary, but I had the fortune to be instructed by Professor Litwinko. This is why I passed. She will not move on from a topic until the entire class understands the material and is comfortable with it, reopens assignments if you made mistakes, and is an all around amazing professor. She also has a great sense of humor and keeps class fun!
I took Professor Litwinko for math 136 after failing math 137 twice with two different professors. I passed her class on the first try. She is absolutely phenomenal. Very clear on what she's teaching and very caring. She's got a great sense of humor and as long as you do the work, you will pass. I honestly thought I was unteachable until I took her
I love Professor Litwinko, she's a great math teacher, i would take her again if I could. Her stories are the best, and she is Hilarious. Not a boring professor at all. Just be ready to give 100% in the class or you won't pass.
Litwinko's way of explaining things didn't always jive well with how my mind works, but she was an amazing teacher nonetheless. She understands that we all aren't math majors, and her intent is to help us get through it and find the value in problem-solving. She goes above and beyond to give you chances to pass. Plus she is an awesome person.
Took her summer math 137, I wouldn't have passed if it weren't for her. She truly cares about her students and will go above and beyond to make sure you understand the material.
I took the online Statistics class. I feel like she wasn't very good at communicating in a timely manner. Often, I didn't know what was expected of me. The syllabus would say something was due, but I would find out weeks later that I didn't need to do it. As long as you read the textbook and did the homework on time, the class wasn't that hard.
She honestly a great professor Highly recommend if you not good in math
Dont be fooled by the other comments. Very nice lady but if u think by writing equation on the board and giving u the answers is a great way to teach then yes u will love her. She gives u a study quide then the test is different. N o extra credit what so ever.
Recommend her for statistics, took her for 137 and 167, if you not a math nerd take her I struggled a lot in math but , she honestly is amazing, there no way you could fail her class.
Drops the lowest test exam and even offered extra credit took her for Math 136 & 167Statistics computer base class ) highly recommend her ended with B plus in both classes and Im not even good in math . Not hard
I felt like she was rude and did not understand or take into consideration that not everyone is good at math. She did not take the time to teach the material and just expected you to know it. I do not recommend her at all! Her lessons are rushed and she has no patience with you if you do not understand.
After taking Math137 with 3 different professors , I finally was able to pass with Deborah !! MUST TAKE !!!!!!! Trust me you would not regret it ! She truly cares about her students and is even available for extra help after class ! I feel like those who leave had reviews just did not do their part as a student . Now Im taking her for Stats
as a business major who needed stats 167 as my last math course , this class is pretty easy . Not hard . She is a sweetheart .
hated math until I took statistics with her end up the class with an A . The class is not hard
Great Teacher But You Got To Study Study Study
She was a great professor. Know what she was talking about and help you a lot if was lost.
Very hard teacher, goes very fast
She prioritizes your understanding and ability to apply concepts over overdue dates and minor mistakes made on tests. She will work with you to help you pass the class if you're struggling. Her sense of humor also makes class time go by quickly. The class is work intensive, but that's the nature of the class itself, regardless of the professor.
This professor is great, she truly cares and does her best to help you and make sure you understand the content. She does whatever she can to help, goes above and beyond and is super accessible outside of class
Professor Litwinko is one of the most respectul and most optimistic for her students both in and out of the class. She takes passion in helping students who have questions whenever help is needed. I highly recommend her if your searching for a Professor who focuses on the student's success as a top priority.
Professor L. such a good math teacher. She always comes to class with good energy. She does not mind repeating herself for those who do not understand what is going on. She loves a hardworking student. All you have to do is grind,communicate, and be interactive and you will pass. Just prove yourself as she would say. Deb is for sure my fav!
Shes a very nice professor and really cares about each student. Willing to work with everyone who needs help. Only downside to me personally is that all of the work is done online on mymathlab. Her teaching style is not suited for those who need step by step work by pencil and paper. If you have difficulty with online math courses, dont take this
Professor Litwinko is a great teacher. I took online Stats which was is a really tough course. She worked with me multiple times to explain concepts and to complete portfolio assignments.
This was tough. Has everything done on mymathlab. It feels like such little time to get everything done.
Best Math Professor Ever!! She takes the time to give detailed lectured even though the class is remote. Gives multiple exams vs just a midterm and final exam. Prof Litwinko cares about her students.
MyMathLab is used in this course which is mandatory for ALL NVCC courses. However, the professor is consistently helpful.
Such a nice and funny lady! She made math fun for me and made me enjoy it a lot more than I thought I ever could. She is a clear and direct teacher and will take her time to teach you. The class can move fast at times but she never hesitates to make sure everyone is okay before moving forward.
Ms. Litwinko is a super generous and flexible professor! She's helped me with a very enthusiastic attitude and has never left me confused throughout her teachings. She has also been easy to contact and is very insightful. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better professor for my first semester!
There is 2 homeworks and 1 quiz every week. A midterm and a final. I was struggling after the midterm and she helped me stay on track and really worked with me to get a passing grade. Im so grateful that she was my teacher. This class is incredibly hard but if you reach out to her she will help. Show her you care!
Never responds to emails or discussion boards. Granted this class was taken online but responses to basic questions was no where to be found. Avoid if you need teacher interaction
Prof Litwinko is phenomenal !! She is present for every class and takes the time to help all her students. Do not take her if you don't like to work for your grade. You will definitely learn in her class but it is a lot of work.
Prof. Litwinko cares and wants her students to pass. She will lecture you if you miss assignments (well deserved) but wants to see everyone succeed and will work with you to make the assignment up. She is thorough and gives ample time for questions. Taking a math class online is hard especially during a pandemic & she was very understanding
Professor Litwinko was extremely helpful and attentive to my student needs, I was struggling at the end of the course and was always offered help to ensure I would end with a good grade. I am so grateful I took statistic with such an understanding professor, I would recommend this course and this professor to anyone!!
Professor Litwinko was extremely understanding and continuously ensured I would finish with a good grade in the course. She was very accommodating and cares about her students, she makes it easy to do well in the course while also learning a lot. She guides you through the course material in a way that leaves no room for falling behind!!
Professor never managed to answer emails or messages, she actually asked the class at one point to stop emailing her because it apparently was too overwhelming.. not great considering everything is online at the moment. Lectures were ok, but she constantly gets sidetracked or makes the material more confusing. Just with another teacher.
Professor Litwinko was a great Professor; she was very clear on what to expect in the class. Even if you may struggle in the course, don't stop trying, and she will be understandable and helpful. In the end, one's hard work pays off.
Prof Litwinko made me realize math is just like a recipe. There is only one answer to each problem! Make sure you pay attention from the beginning, one thing builds up on the other. Ask as many questions as you want, she is happy to help! She is understanding and really cares about her students! Highly recommend!!!
The class was hard but with a good teacher like her, you can understand math and working hard you pass the class.
Everything felt very rushed. Every class was basically taking notes, doing 1 example of the chapter we took notes on and then moving on. I had to spend a lot of my time going through my notes and doing multiple examples to try and learn it myself. She also gave us a test 2 days before the final exam which I find very unfair.
Professor Litwinko was an amazing professor, and was very easy to talk to! I honestly thought that she was very nice, and she was completely understanding. She wants you to be successful, and if you ever need help, she is always there for you. I would definitely recommend her.
professor litwinko was so helpful to me and she made me want to join class everyday i really hate and struggle with math so she made it kinda fun i would recommend her to someone and i would love to have her again
She is a wonderful Professor. She is understanding and wants you to succeed.
for you to pass Math class you HAVE to do a lot of practices aside from the class work. She makes sure you understands, asks if you got it. She is strict with doing weekly Quizzes. several tests(4) before the final which actually helps to understand the chapters.
She puts in 100% effort to make sure that you are successful.
never looked at our work hopefully she will, but the spring class were done 3 weeks ago, so no credit for all the tests I did. she writes a questions and solving very few, refers us to the tutors. if you are having an issue, it will take like forever for her to answer back or correct it for you. not a class for a starter or returning back to school
I would take this class again and probably will :)
Very good teacher, Goes the extra mile to help you succeed
Professor Litwinko is amazing! She's funny and really easy to speak to. She never made me or any of us feel like any question was a dumb a question. You can really tell she teaches because she cares not just for a paycheck.
Great Professor! She explained all questions, my peers had a tough time with. She is VERY patient and will work with you if you have difficulty understanding anything. She makes time for her students and is VERY flexible. I will definitely take this professor again!
Really cares for her students, patient and reliable. She is very clear about what to expect and very fair.
I took math Summer'21, Prof. Litwinko & Mrs. Mari were great to work with. It was tough-LOTS of info to cover in a short amount of time. So, don't expect to pass if you don't do the homework; all of the problems I got on quizzes/test, I remembered from the homework-just different #s- get help in class for exams just by doing homework.
Lectures tend to move quickly, and she can be a little bit intimidating, but she is patient and will answer your questions clearly as long as you ask them. Participation in class gets her to like you but she doesn't give brownie points. Splits midterm and final into smaller exams, and grading is fair but still tough. Overall good.
She is nice but I personally don't like her style of teaching. Lectures go fast. You HAVE to speak up if you have a question. She teaches on a virtual whiteboard which is illegible most of the time. Tests are way harder than quizzes and homework. We had a sub for the first half of the semester (Pettinico) and she was awesome!
She goes very fast, the only good thing about her is that she goes back into tests and gives u credit for what you did on the scrap piece of paper.
Very nice, makes sure everyone is involved and wants everyone to do well.
This is my first year of college I couldn't ask for a better professor she's very helpful and makes the class super easy. Sh's an amazing professor
Great professor, always encourages interaction from everyone and is helpful.
took her 075,095,and now 137 class and she is a great teacher. Helps you whenever you need help. Goes through lectures thoroughly Really recommend to take her. Do the work on lab math and you will be fine of tests. Whatever she teaches is what will be on the test
Professor Litwinko is a great instructor who loves math. She takes the time to explain examples until you understand. Her class is very structured. If you do the homework in my math lab, and practice, practice, practice, it will prepare you for the test. I would recommend taking her class. She is very pleasant, and wants her students to do well.
Professor Litwinko is a great instructor who loves and enjoys math. She takes the time to explain examples until students understand. Doing and practicing the homework and quizzes in my math lab will prepare you for the test. I would recommend taking her class. She is very pleasant and helpful and wants her students to do well.
Professor Litwinko, is such a great professor. I took her online intro to statistic's class. It was a tough class due to the class being completely online. Any questions I had, she would answer them and more. I would most definitely recommend her for your next math course.
*deleted review*
Challenging stats class due to minimal professor communication, strict grading (75% min. on all assignments), and heavy workload (10-12 hrs/week). Lecture videos often posted after homework. Be prepared for a rigorous experience."
Extremely unprepared Professor affecting my learning experience. Can count on one hand how many lectures were actually given in class the entire semester. Be prepared to teach your self. Tough grader with unrealistic due dates for work load. Don't bother taking the support version.Unable to answer questions due to not knowing the answer.
Prof Litwinko is well-prepared. She assigns a lot of homework which directly aligns with her in-class lectors. You must attend class to be successful as her lectors have a lot of important information.
Professional, Understanding, Expects your best, and most of all, makes sure you know what to expect with clarity. Awesome experience.
Very good teacher, answered her emails very quickly. If you do the review you will easily pass the course with a B or higher. Tests were not bad at all. I would definitely recommend taking her for a math course you may need.
I took her over the summer doing a Live Online Class. She is so amazing. Simple, she explained everything really well and was also super flexible and really wanted you to succeed.
Fast pace, but will be very hands-on.
The classes are fun, and she is always available to help.
She wants you to succeed!! Email response could be better, however she is very helpful in class so it works out.
This Professor will be one of the best STATS proffessors you will ever have. She is very understanding and will give you many opportunities to be a better student and will give you chances to try again on homeworks for a better grade.
If you're looking for (a) stats class(es), make sure you choose this professor right here. Helpful, clear, will take the time to help you understand whether repeating info over and over again or staying after class. E-mail system is lacking so better contact in person.
Professor Litwinko was a great professor!!!
Pretty easy course if you just pay attention and do the work.
Mrs. Litwinko has a pleasant personality.
Prof Litwinko runs a challenging but rewarding STATS course. Lectures are dense but valuable - stay engaged and you'll learn a lot. The workload is heavy, but using unstuckstudy for study prep made a big difference for me. Overall, a tough but worthwhile class.
She was a kind, caring human who always took the time to answer questions. I took it online with her and genuinely looked forward to her stats class. Homework is heavy, but when it comes to stats practice makes perfect. She knew how to teach and get the point across. If you participate and show interest, you will do well.
The Professor will send you emails with spelling errors, information buried within endless rambling, and doesn't show up to her own class. This class is a waste of time, you'll learn more googling what is statistics. On top of that the website for the assignments is terrible get ready to get lost in the amount of chrome browsers you have to open.
Professor Litwinko is kind and genuinely wants her students to succeed. She was always making herself available to answer questions and explain the material clearly. She didn't offer extra credit, she emphasized participation and provided plenty of support and resources throughout the semester to make sure everyone had a fair chance to do well.
Professor Litwinko's class was genuinely one of the most fun and informational classes I have taken... ever. This woman is so lovely and so good at explaining the concepts it honestly makes me want to start looking into careers in stem. This class will make you a math person. Just listen and don't fall behind and it'll be fine.
