Very helpful and easygoing. Open note/book/class quizzes, semi-easy hw, and TI-83s are allowed on tests, everywhere. Also, she allows one front back page of notes for tests. Cum. final.

I have never met someone so enthusiastic about math! She is awesome as a teacher and also very helpful with advice about majors and transfering and stuff. I recommend her to anyone.

Prof. Hill is a great teacher! her quizzes are easy and she always has helpful study sessions before her tests. She is glad to help anyone who needs it, but you just have to ask. You can tell she's really passionate about math and brings out her enthusiasm during her lectures. Overall great teacher!

Mrs. Hill is one of the best math teachers at Sierra College. I took her class in the summer and it was a breeze and it was fun (the math type of fun and the entertainment type). She is also very friendly to everyone. You would not regret the classes you take with her.

Well, I thought she was fantastic. Her white-board-color-coded lectures break everything down and are amazingly helpful. The hw may seem like a lot, but if you read how to score you'll see you only need to do 75% of the problems for an A. You can drop the two lowest quiz scores and turn in one hw late w/out penalty. Study and go to the math lab

I don't know about her upper division classes but her algebra class is excellent. I've had a hard time with math and she makes it so easy to understand. She writes everything on the board and breaks everything down. As long a you write down what's on the board and do most of the homework you'll get and A. Her tests are short and easy!

very easy. she writes everything on the board in tons of different colors. as long as you don't miss class and do most of the homework it's pretty easy. the tests aren't too hard and not long at all. one of the best math classes i've ever taken. but, she can treat you like it's middle school sometimes.

She's great, tough but great. She knows her stuff and treats every question with respect. Easy to follow and doing all of the homework is not required. Overall, a great teacher.

I was really worried about taking calculus. But Mrs. Hill is an awesome teacher. She is demanding and gives plenty of homework, but she does an excellent job explaining and leading you. If you can't do well in her class it's your fault - you get what you put in.

I am not a math person by any means but Debbie is a great teacher. Her notes are topnotch although tests and homework is a lot but if you do the study guides you will pass. I was a C math student in high school and getting B's on her tests.

Debra is an awesome teacher, i am actually looking forward to having her again for math d. She makes everything very easy and explains algebra very well. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone.

Debbie is great! She explains everything very well. I was horrible at math previously, Debbie helped me understand stuff I missed in other classes. She's very animated and makes class interesting. She reminds me of Dory from Finding Nemo. She likes participation but isn't a nazi about it. I'd take her again if I take another Math class.

I consider debbie to be the best math teacher i have ever had. She spent several years as a private tutor. Since she has worked one on one with many students having trouble with math, she knows how to explain things so all can understand. I cant recommend her enough. there is quite a bit of Hmwork but you dont have to do all of it. I still got an A

Extremely large workload. Tons of quizzes and exams. In one week you can expect all of the above. If you have a problem with the homework, too bad, the day after it's due you'll have an exam on it. I'm a 4.0 student and was ready for a lot of work, but it's more than I could have imagined!

She provides clear instruction and presents material in a logical & organized manner. If you do the homework and attend class, you will know exactly what to expect on exam on quiz days. Pay attention to math notation! Details ARE important.

There is A LOT of work. She is not kidding when she says 3 hours homework per hour of class. BUT, if you do the homework and ask questions you WILL be successful. I like that she has real-world experience. I did find having to write all the steps a little frustrating, but she showed us what she wanted. GREAT instructor.

Hill is a great teach. She gives a lot of work but it the work is intended to help you learn the material. If you do the work and go to class you will have no problem doing well in her class. Very clear and detailed lectures are very helpful in learning the material.

Mrs Hill is a really good teacher. She was very organized and stays with her schedule that she gives you. You know exactly what to expect with her. He tests were on the hard side, but she prepares you for the test & I don't think any Calculus test is easy. Attendence is a must! I highly recommend Debra Hill. She also really knows her stuff too!

Great teacher! I have a very hard time with Math and she did a great job helping me understand this class. Very helpful if you need clarification and always available during her office hours.

GREAT!! A re-entry student myself, I thought I was going to be overwhelmed. However, she made the math seem so easy. I really understood the material. I would recommend. I plan on taking another course of hers in the fall.

I was nervous not have taken math in 7 years and never getting past pre-algebra in high school. I took her over the summer and she was phenominal. Explained everything to where it made since. We used MyMathLab which was great! Group Quiz for easy points as long as you should up to class. I will take her again for sure!

As a re-entry student I really liked her, she is quirky but it's fun and light hearted. I love that all the homework is online, my math lab is great. I think she is a fun Math teacher. Wish she was teaching Bus Calc next semester.

Best math teacher ever! She teaches math so well that a complete blonde would totally understand how to do math. The only thing is that you ALWAYS have to show your work.

This was my most challenging class yet, and I'm not sure any professor can make it much easier. She was hard but fair. My advice is to go see her during office hours as she is very willing to spend time and help you. Plan on spending a lot of time on homework and studying for tests. If you put in the effort you can get a good grade.

If you are in school to LEARN and not to just pass, this is the teacher for you. Very thorough, and won't hesitate to get on your case if you're not doing your work, but that's your own fault. It's a lot of work, but learning isn't easy. Take her class, and I GUARANTEE you will have LEARNED the material. Great person, super-smiley. Take her!

For those of you who did not do well in her class it's b/c you didn't put enough effort into it. This is not a class that you can put off until the night before the exam. Do your homework and go to the math lab. I don't think any other professor could have made this class any easier. She's extremely helpful during her office hours.

A very rushed course. While perhaps not the instructor's fault, she could have addressed the problem more effectively. Below average teacher-student connection, and a dull class overall.

Professor Hill's math A class was a good experience. It was on the program ALEKS which was pretty easy to work with, good explanations. she is very sweet and helpful when you need it. Take ALEKS if you already know some of the math because if you dont it could be hard. Take prof. Hill

Prof. Hill is a GREAT teacher. She care about her students and wants you to not only pass but learn! Math is not easy for some so go to class and study and ASK the questions if you don't understand! She is very helpful. I took the hybrid class using ALEKS w/ Prof. Hill and she is constantly in touch. I would highly recommend Professor Hill!!!!

Ms. Hill is a great instructor. She gave a lot of extra credit options for students who needed help. I'm a horrible math student, got less-than-desirable grades on the exams, and still passed with a C. She was willing to stay after class many times to help. Also, she seems to understand that math is NOT everyones thing. I highly recomend her.

Very good proffessor explained everything cleary. A must take for MathA.

Not an easy grade. This class takes effort, I got a C, most other students got a B or an A. Grading was fair and there was no confusion on what was going to be on the tests; Mrs. Hill will tell you exactly what she expects. I would recommend this class to another student, and I would also recommend a study group to help your grade.

Mrs.Hill deserves higher ratings. Iam a student who struggles with math and by putting effort in i was able to pass calculus. She is a sweet lady, understanding, and recognizes effort. Calc is a HUGE workload but if you show up and try you can pass. The bottom line: She is a great lady who wants you to pass her class. Take mrs Hill if you can.

If you want to learn the material and prepare for calulus, Hill is your woman. She was an engineer before teaching so trig is right up her alley. Take good notes and study hard for tests. She moves fast so read the chapter ahead of time. She is also left handed so sit accordingly or you will see the back of her head instead of the white board.

I am one who struggles with math I liked how she taught outside of the box when explaining things it helped me a lot. She tries to emphasis certain things, but it totally fine. I think she deserves a higher rating. I understood what I learned and she is a great teacher!

Debbie is an amazing teacher. She really prepared me for the 30 series. I was way ahead of even the people who had taken AP Calc in highschool just because of her class. She was even great when it came to help with Math 31 stuff. LOVE HER!!!

I LOVED HER. I was never very good at math but I aced her class. Her lectures are easy to follow and she responds to emails very quickly. I would definitely recommend her for Math A and D.

Debra Hill is a very good teacher! She promotes a great learning atmosphere and its fun to be in her class. There are usually group and take home quizzes ever week, her tests are fair and based accurately off of homework and class lessons and you don't have to answer "super ridiculous problems" on the test to get an A. Awesome Teacher!

Nice teacher, but hard grader.

As expected the course material was not easy-this class requires you to do ALL the homework to grasp the concept. Mrs. Hill is straightforward and clear on her expectations-and is the same with her teaching style. Expect to work hard in this class-it will be rewarding if you do!

She is a great professor. hard grader but ull get use to labeling and everything. I liked her teaching method. SHe is organized and her quizes every friday belp you very much in class. This course is hard either way, no teacher can make it a breeze!

Very good teacher. She really makes sure you understand the concept behind what you're doing. Lots of interesting application problems. Pretty strict grader, but you get used to it. I never really sought one-on-one help from her, so I couldn't tell you how she is in that capacity. Get a study group going, do your homework, and you'll do fine.

She is by far the most helpful online and offline teacher I have ever had. She answers all of your questions and is always willing to help you out. I highly recommened her for any math class you want to take.

Very involved for an online teacher. Made sure we were keeping up and was encouraging and helpful with quiz feedback. She used this "pencast" program so that she could work and explain specific problems we asked for help with (great for visual learners). She also created a class FB page so that we were more connected.

Such a helpful professor. Math is difficult for me. At one point when I was stuck, she showed me 5 different ways to do 1 problem until she found the way that made sense to me. She loves math, and loves teaching people who want to learn. Don't be afraid to ask her questions, make sure you show up to EVERY class on time, and you will do well.

Great professor! Toughest Calc class, but if you work at it, you'll pass no problem. Final exam average was low, though she did curve it to help out. The final and exams were exactly what I expected, mostly middle-of-the-road problems. Not unanswerable, but did make you think. She alludes to what you need to know on the tests. Would recommend!

Debra keeps the class structured; she puts stress on quizzes, encourages homework, and reminds you to work hard - which is more than appreciated. Her pickiness in notation only helped me in the long run, and although her lectures went off on tangents every now and then, she makes sure to power through all the material. Great teacher overall

Everyday there is an assignment due the. A mini quiz, then a quiz to cover multiple sections. she gives weekends off. She is always there saying good job or sorry to see you didn't pass can I help you? I tried my hardest, but needed tutoring to pass! I am not very good at math and so the online lectures weren't enough. Dont fall behind, you will not be able to continue until past homework is finished. Very consistent due dates. Wonderful teacher hard work! Apply yourself and you will survive.

I wish I could take her all the way up in math. The notebook that she assigns is very important to her! If you are on the brink of a grade and you impress her with your notebook (i.e. by following her directions to the letter on it) you'll get that grade you want. :) I was at 88.1% and she pulled me over to 90%.

This class was challenging, but you WILL learn. It might seem like a big load at times, but you'll find yourself really enjoying the class. This class is not your typical math class, it has a creative edge to it and very group oriented. If you enjoy doing creative projects, are a hands on worker, and enjoy socializing this is the math class for you

Debra is an excellent teacher. She really cared about our learning math and connected with us as individuals. It was 15 years ago that I took her class. Looking back it was a turning point in my life, and started me toward a great career in data science.
