I'm taking her right now. Great teacher! She's funny, very helpful, and keeps the class entertained. Hw due once a week, but hey it's MATH..You have to practice math problems to understand the material. Tests and quizzes are similar to hw. Study guides included, which are very useful (Do all the problems on the study guide to do well on the test).
great teacher...she was easy to understand and helpful and always reminded us that she is there when we needed help...homework was not that bad...i would recommend her to everyone...
She Is Such a sweet lady!!! extremely helpful and fun. Easy grading on tests. HW's, do it and you'll get an A. Highly recmd!!!
Great professor! Lectures are clear, detailed, just the right pace, shows all the steps &gives plenty of examples.Gives quizzes, most were take home, some partnered shes so nice! most test problems from study guide.Helpful & approachable during office hours.Drops a quiz, 2 hws, & final can replace lowest test score.Take her she has good personality
This professor is the greastest professor in math department. Do all the homewokr you can get 10 point ,extra credit and review sheet for the test. very easy
Definitely a great professor! I would take her right now for 180 if she was available. This class was not exactly 'easy,' but the fact that she teaches it so well makes the material easier to understand and do. Study guides are extremely helpful; USE THEM! Attendace is not mandatory but her class was fun and made it worth going to every time!
She is very good at teaching. As long as you do all the hw and take good notes, then you should at least pass the class. Make sure you do her study guides, they really prepare you for the exams/final. She keeps class interesting with her funny personality. And she really makes sure to try and get to know/remember every person in her class.
By far the best teacher on campus. She is FUNNY and makes the class interesting. She also has cool travel stories. Her personality mathes her beauty. My advice is to do ALL homework and do NOT fall behind. Good luck
Awesome teacher! teaches very clearly. i hate math with a passion but she made it so it was understandible (which is almost impossible for me) Likes to crack jokes too which makes the time go by faster. Highly recommend her
This was an 8 am class. I'm not a morning person, but I LOVED coming to this class. She is smart and funny, perfect combination for an 8 am math class! She is also a beautiful person, inside & out! ;) It was not an easy class, you still have to work. But she was always willing to help.
I heard she use to be really easy, but some rumors went around the school and now she's really hard. No extra credit, she doesn't replace your final with an exam, 40% test, 40% final, 10% assignments(quizes) and 10% hw. make sure to show work ALL the time
Cool professor for sure, but not an easy class. She does drop the lowest test for the final. Her lectures are clear and she is very helpful. She gives a study guide, which are all hw problems. Her quizzes are from the hw too. There is a lot of material but if you study the guides and the quizzes you will be good. Don't be scurred to ask questions.
One of the best professor Mt. SAC has to offer. Extremely nice, pretty and great at what she does. Highly recommended!
Chavez is probably the best professor I've had. She has a great personality and is an excellent teacher. As long as you do and understand all of the HW you'll pass the class because all of her quizzes/exams come straight from the HW and notes. She gives plenty of examples and won't move on until it is clear to everyone. Highly recommend her.
this was one of the BEST math teachers i have had in my life!! i hate math with a passion but i would actually be excited to attend this class!!!! shes extremely helpful and has a great personality!! if u need to take math take her!!! u wont regret it EVER!! AWESOME TEACHER!!
Ms. Chavez is a superb teacher. She's funny and she knows how to rap. Ask her to bust a math rhyme. She's recording her CD as we speak. All that aside, she's very clear and is one of those teachers that cares about your success if you do. Take her.
Great teacher, has a lot of examples and goes over them until you understand. Recommend taking Trig and College Algebra prior to this class. Study the study guides and don't be shy asking a lot of questions as she loves teaching the subject. Class may be hard, but she teaches as well as any other professor so just study hard and you'll be fine.
she has an awesome sense of humor!
Chavez is hilarious! Beautiful person to be around and easy to talk to. Claims she's good at pool and poker but doubt it! (I know you're reading this!!) Listen to the lectures since those problems are used on tests. Not easy, but not super hard either.
WTF?!! Seriously. She tries to be funny but she's not. As for her teaching style it's horrible. All these people gave me false hopes. Plus she's not hot at all. I guess I'll have to get LOTS of help outside of class. Wish me luck!!
WTF?!!! Her teaching style is horrible and her writing is hard to understand. She tries to be funny but she's not. Plus she's not hot at all. Seems like I'll need to get LOTS of help outside of class. Wish me luck! I'll need it in this class.
This teacher has a good attitude. She makes math fun and interesting. She is funny and has a great sense of humor, not to mention she is totally hot. She moves fast, so you need to keep up. Good luck, study hard.
Chavez is a beautiful teacher. Awesome pesonality and makes math ... managable. She can go fast at times, but speak up and she will slow down or just go to her office hours. HW is ONLINE, which is pretty useful because we can email questions. Best teacher at SAC. Just compare her to D. Martin! Good luck & get ready to do a LOT of HW!!
Super Hot, Super Sarcastic, and Super helpful!! I'm not going to major in math or anything, but she made it understandable. Gives a lot of homework and exams are pretty hard. I like her a lot.
Chavez is Amazing. She tries to help everyone and really cares about you. She is a good teacher, but its still a lot of work. I'm getting an A so far, but I am always at the Marc or her office hour (I don't like some of the Marc tutors)
This proffesor is pretty cool and yes jokes around at times. Funny? Yeah. Truly interested in her students success. However, sometimes found it hard to stay awake. Once she starts to lecture it get kinda boring and hard to concentrate but still recommend her class. Shes an honest professor really trying to help students pass.
Chavez is a great professor, really funny, makes sure you know the material if you have a question. ALWAYS in her office hours. but HW is online and is EXTREMELY time consuming. replies to emails really quickly.
Ms Chavez is such a great all around person. She's hilarious, helpful, and very reasonable when it comes to grading.. she is one of the few teachers ive had at this school who is actually concerned with the success of her students. Take her class!
great teacher ..but its a HARD class. The exams are hard. go to EVERY class. do all the homework.
Ms. Chavez is such a great teacher! She makes math fun which isn't easy to do cause who likes math.. really?! she's very helpful & is willing to work with her students so that everyone can succeed, but of course you gotta do your part. Show up EVERYDAY cause if you don't you'll fall behind. Do all the HW & take notes cause the tests come straight f
I took her in winter class. I was scared about taking 71 short term. Prof. Chavez was freaken awesome. She was funny and really cared about you passing do the hw and quizzes they are what is going to be on the test she likes to joke around a lot definitely makes math a lot more fun wanted to take her again but she dsnt teach stats :(
Take good notes! Study notes good!
GREAT teacher. Cares, dresses professionally, gives extra credit, tells jokes, and great stories. She knows when to teach and when to have fun. All around awesome experience. I hate math, but she made it fun! All her tests are simple.
I have taken this professor for math 50 as well as 71a & 7b and she is very helpful. She will let you know exactly what will be on the exams. Just take good notes and stay caught up with the homework and absolutely study and you will do well.
Great teacher! Tells funny stories during class which keeps everybody interested in what is going on. She knows when to teach and when to mess around. Highly recommended.
Chavez is a great professor. This class was HARD. If you didn't get an A in 71, then don't take 130
Lots of energy for an 8 am class. I'm trying to take her for math 51 shes funny and very attractive.
Math50 is a pretty easy class,and Chavez is such a great teacher,she is funny and makes sure you understand the material.She is also very friendly and willing to help you out on her own time I feel bad not taking her 4 51 but she was all booked;however,she did tell the class that we can always go 2 her 4 help, even if we dnt have her as a teacher.
Amazing Instructor. Very young and teaches as if she knows what the class wants. Teaches with a passion and is hilarious. Definitely made math interesting and never thought I could do well in Math after taking 6 years off. HIGH RECOMMENDED.
Great Math Professor. I struggle in math and she makes it very understandable. She is also nice and funny so it makes class more enjoyable.
this was a hard class. shes a good teacher, pretty and funny. all HW is online. undersetand the HW and ask questions. best teacher ive had at mt sac.
Great teacher. Do all of the homework and don't fall behind. exams are hard, but just like the HW
CHAVEZ IS AWESOME! VERY CUTE AND FUNNY. HER EXAMS ARE HARD BUT EVERYTHING COMES FROM THE HOMWRK. SHE CARES AND HELPS. GREAT CLASS. NOT EASY A. GIVES A LOT OF HOMEWORK
cool teacher.. hw kinda piles up.. but its just the quantity.. its real easy.. and usually if you ask her to give you more time.. you will extend the deadline... listen to what she points out.. it WILL be on the test.. and she LOVES fractions... she isnt easy at all.. but she is also not a hard ass.. and is really cool..
Take her class! she's probably the best math teacher you could pick.. the subject is hard, but she tries to help you as much as she can. She has an awesome personallity and enthusiam for what she teaches.
I took this class because it was the only 51 class that was available when I registered. She is nice, but nice doesn't make her a good teacher. She gives a lot of HW, hard exams and takes shortcuts on the examples. I am one of those people who learns by trial & error. Her fast shortcuts don't help me learn. Oh and her test grading is bad as well!!
Solid professor, no real complaints homework was not difficult, Test were some what challenging. would continue with this professor. Presents material just at the right speed. Always open to questions very helpful and clear. Uses online program for math homework.
Loves herself more than the students. Loves to embarrass students while pretending its all in fun. No math book, everything online, which makes it difficult to study. Worst part...never responds to emails, even though that is how she wants you to communicate with her. I would not choose to take her again, even though I did well in her class.
i learned a lot! gives a lot of homework and exams are hard. Not an easy A. Everything is online and you don't have to buy the book :) Always available to help just try not to fall behind!
Ok...so she has attitude and will embaress you in class. ohter then that shs nice ad is always willing to help a student. Her test are really really hard. Shes tuff, so study hard. Double check your exams because she does not grade fair. I had the same answers as my class mate and she marked my wrong and hers right.
Really tough class. Her grading on exams is just wrong. Gave me only 1 pt for getting the answer but didn't put negative, yet gave me 4 pts for a problem that I just jotted anthing down on. Not to mention that she goes really fast, and like someone else said, she NEVER answers emails. Bottom line: Choose another professor for math.
Chavez is the best math teacher I had! She's funny and sarcastis but I think it made the class fun. If you cant take a joke take someone else. It's not an easy A. I think grading is fair. Exams are hard but she was always available for help and gives a lot of hw. No problems w/ email. It was hard but I wouldn't take anyone else.
I took her this past spring for math 150. She did a good job at teaching us the material and since I sat in the front I learned a lot. She is funny and down to earth. She is also very attractive and charming. Just make sure that if you see her at Target to say hi to her. Or else she will tease you the next day. Overall, I highly recommend her.
Professor Chavez is hilarious and makes the class seem a lot less boring than it actually is. She goes at a moderate pace, goes by students input. She is ALWAYS helpful, won't stop until you get it. All HW was online, kind of helpful, mostly annoying. Definitely recommend taking her!
Mrs. Chavez is one of my favorite professor. She makes the class laugh and she explains the subject really good. Do the hw and practice because that going to help you with the test the you take. She a young professor and she knows her stuff. Take her she really good and pretty
She explains each chapter very well, but before I can understand it shes already on the next chapter. She moves from chapter to chapter really fast! and its hard to catch up once your lost! and her tests are just as hard. Liked her teaching but not her pace! If your not the best at math&cant handle a fast pace class, DONT take!
Chavez is awesome. this class was a lot harder than 51. especially at the end. shes funny and made it easy but gives a lot of homework. its all online but that was good for me. do not fall behind if u do then just drop its too hard
I took pre-algebra, elementary algebra, and intermediate algebra with Chavez. She's a really good teacher especially for math. She's helpful and tries to explain things so they're very easy to understand. She's also pretty funny. Her exams aren't bad. She usually gives a bonus question and a lot is straight from homework or old tests.
Best teacher ive ever had
VERY helpful when it comes to questions, she goes at an easy pace for everyone to understand. Bonus Q's on the test from HW. Easy to understand. HILARiOUS. Definitely take advantage of her office hours for any class. She uses MyMathLab. RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE.
i took her math 130 class over the winter- and although it was allot of material to cover- she kept a good pace. She has a GREAT PERSONALITY, and class never seemed boring. She answers all questions with clarity. Her Exams are based off of lecture and homework,so review class notes.
She is the best professor i know . I'm not really a fan of math, but chavez made me love it. She is very helpful and clear. best math teacher ive ever had. and bonus she is hilarious.
BEST Professor at Mt. SAC!
I like this teacher alot! I had her last semester. I wish she was teaching math 71. It is hard, but learned alot. really cares abuut the students!
Prof. Chavez is not interested in helping her students. She does not return emails nor offers extra credit.
Best Math professor I ever had. She explains the material very clear and it's a good pace. It might be fast for a person who hasn't taken math in years but I think she's great. She is HILARIOUS. She has a great personality and she likes to interact with her students. Take advantage of her office hours. Definitely Recommended.
She's pretty okay. Problem is she loves to use an online math program for hw. It seriously sucked because this was not a online class, and I was not very fond of doing math online. I struggled none the less with that part of the class. She's one with humor. If you're not totally good at math, she's probably not the best option. But stil pretty okay
She teaches very straight-forward! And always follows-up with her students with questions to affirm if they've understood the material. She has a bright smile & has a cool daring personality. I enjoyed taking her class. RECOMMENDED!
She is amazing! Very nice and truly care about her students. Her teaching method is very straight forward and clear.
Hard class. But she's a good teacher. I wish she were teaching 71
TAKE SOMEONE ELSE!
Professor Chavez is an excellent professor, she is passionate about what she does, and it shows! She has an AMAZING sense of humor, which is a great quality especially in a math class because we all know math can get boring, but she does a great job of keeping her students entertained! Overall if u try youll get an A/B. HIGHLY RECCOMEND + HOT!
Highly Reccomend! She is the best professor at Mt.Sac! She genuinely cares about her students and will deff put in overtime to make sure u understand any problem. Chavez is quite the charmer as well so prepare to laugh! Homework is done online which i liked and u can re-watch any lecture which is EXTREMELY helpful! Easy on the eyes!!!
Super cool teacher! But not an easy class. She explains good. I finally understood this class. It was my third time taking it. I wish I would've taken it with her sooner. A LOT of homework. Online. I wish I could take her for all my classes.
Very nice lady. The class was once a week so that was hard. Homework online was also hard but it helps. It's a lot of work. Glad I got her for 51 ;)
This professor has great clarity, anything you ask - if you do some study on - you'll grasp. Draw back she use's My Math Lab and gives ton's of homework. YOU MUST KNOW - IN ORDER TO PASS THIS CLASS --- YOU MUST STUDY YOURE NOTES! All your tests will be off your notes - no joke, don't go of what you study on your book or on my math lab.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! I took her for 51 awhile back and she made me fall in love with math. She is really clear on how she teaches and test are based off of homework and quiz questions. Not an easy class but if you're willing to work hard you should be able to get a good grade ( ended up getting an A) :D
She is the best professor I've ever had. She es funny and easygoing. She is a very nice person and makes the class very enjoyable. The video lectures she had for this class were extremely helpful. She has to be one of the best professors of MtSac, and she should be recognized for her job of excelent quality.
First off I hate math. Prof. Chavez made it understandable, I may even try some higher levels. I now feel comfortable with alegebra.
Great Professor. Really Dedicated and Helpful. So far the best teacher I ever had.
AWESOME....made a difficult subject easy to learn. Wish she were teaching in the Fall
She is an awesome instructor. Very clear and makes it fun to learn math. Explains easily for a person to learn without getting confused. However, attend all the classes, she is strict of her class, which I had no problems with. Reason I got my grade cause I did not do much of the homework. nevertheless, I will diffidently take for 51.
Took her because I needed it to transfer for my aero major but after her class I'm seriously considering changing my major to math.. she is fun and very clear on all lrssons I totally recommended her
Great Teacher! This was my second time taking math 51 and this time it was easier for me to follow as she explains math in a simple way. She cracks jokes but does not ramble on like some other math teachers. She is nice, approachable and willing to help her students. Uses my math lab which is a plus, for a mom like me who cant get to the MARC.
By far the best math professor I have yet to take at Mt. Sac. Not only does she really know her stuff, she teaches it extremely well! I took this class in the winter (6 weeks). Yes it's a lot of homework, but it's for your own benefit. Study always, don't leave it to the last minute. Ask questions, she is more than happy to help her students. Take!
Best math teacher evee. She taught me more than 4 yearz in high school taught me
she is a good professor, I'll give her that. She knows her stuff and teaches well. The only problem I had was she was overly sarcastic, to the point where it made some students embarassed to ask for clarifications. Must do homework to pass exams.
idk why everyone here is giving her good ratings?! I took her for MT51- it was horrible. 1 Quiz every week, homework is not apart of your grade, Tests are hard & NOTHING like homework or lecture. GIVES NO STUDY GUILDS. tough grader!
Took the online class. VERY challenging but her video lectures are awesome. She's funny, sarcastic but it's funny. A lot of online work so you gotta do a lot on your own
Funny sarcasm, & nice but could not keep up with her fast pace in teaching. If your quick to learn in a minimal amount of time- take her, otherwise she doesn't have time to explain it in class because she is on to the next chapter and you have to go to her office hours, which can be difficult if you have a class before & after her class.
Great teacher, I took her for Pathways Math 5171 so the class moved. She explains everything clearly. She does give a quiz everyday before her lecture in math 51 but it is only one question. She doesn't collect homework but it does help to do it. She pulls all of her test and quiz questions from the book.
Interesting woman. Tests are really difficult. She asks for a lot of homework and she is very fast-paced. If you stumble at all, be sure to pick yourself up ASAP or you will fall behind and get lost quickly.
She's an amazing professor. I would totally recommend you take her for math. Not only is she hilarious while teaching, but you will definitely pass her class.
I took her for math 50 and continue the pathway til 71. She is really good at teaching and enjoyed the class very much. This class really makes you push yourself since the class is fast pace but it is manageable. Her tough are a bit hard so studying is a must. I recommend If you grasp things fast if not take her in the normal length of time.
I took this class online, hybrid. so you only show up to class for tests, and when you need help on homework. Chavez is funny, and she wants you pass and do well. she is really good about being available for office hours for help. and gives and goes over great study guides before each test. Hybrid is hard, there are no lectures, you do it yourself.
I took the hybrid class so it was only 8 weeks, but i thought it was super easy. Other people said it was hard and moved too fast, but i didnt have any trouble.
Great Teacher, Took her for pathways 50-71. Pulled quiz and test questions from the books chapter tests. She keeps the class interesting and fun. Just pay attention and ask questions, she is great at explaining something you don't differently. Highly recommend! Im still not that great at math but now at least I like it thanks to her.
I took the condensed hybrid class so we only met once a week. She was very helpful and clear. As long as you do the homework and complete all the handouts and study guides on the MathLab you should be fine. I'm HORRIBLE at math and i was able to pass.
Took her from Math 50-71. Overall did enjoy the class to be a math class. You connect a lot more with the people in class in the pathways program. She explain clearly. Her test were hard though in 51 and 71 so do study in advance not just the night before. The class is fast paced but is manageable. Homework is more practice and isn't collected.
Pros: she's engaging, explains concepts well, returns work/grades quickly, fair grader, & sets clear expectations. Cons: she's strict (late work not accepted), sarcastic, and teases students. She humiliates students for asking "dumb" questions. Do NOT take her if you are shy, easily embarrassed, or thin-skinned, or she WILL make you uncomfortable.
professor Chavez is a great at teaching . she helps a lot outside of class and is willing to answer your questions not matter what . would take an other of her math classes
She was a smart teacher who has great personalities. I was taking her hybrid math class during the spring semester, she shared useful resources with the students, not less not more. She always approached us, solving any problems about the class. She talked funny and clearly in the videos which made the dead knowledge alive and easy to be understood
Hilarious and clever teacher, very likeable, but the class was hard and she won't take any excuses or hold your hand along the way. She gives A LOT of homework, and tests frequently If you're talking or get something wrong she's probably going to put you on blast
I loved her as a math teacher. She really knows her stuff, once you get past her sarcasm( which can be tough), she really is a great math professor. You have to work for your grade. While HW isn't graded, its best to do it for the practice. If you don't practice or study or only very minimally, don't expect to pass this class.
I have always hated math, but because of her I found out math its actually FUN! she always has an answer for everything. her classes are full of energy, always has something funny to say, love her stories!
Took her for a condensed hybrid class this fall. Math is the subject I like the least and this turned out to be my favorite class this semester. I wish she taught every level of math class offered.
1/18/2017 Im currently taking her class for Math 71 overall she is a good teacher knows how to talk to students, and knows what to talk about during her lectures. If you know math already or dont know a single thing about math then i recommend taking her class. I took math 50 thru math 51 with Chavez, and learned new short cuts/ methods.
I took Chavez for math 50-71 and I have to say it was the best experience I've had as a college student. She really cares about her students and goes over the material enough for everyone to comprehend. She takes the time to get to know her students, making the class enjoyable and seem shorter than what it really is. I highly recommend taking her.
favorite professor since ive been at mtsac for 2 years. cares SO much about everyone passing, will change her schedule to be accessible out of class, gives LOTS of extra credit opportunities and is super funny during her lectures always smiling & willing to help. Easy material! Took her friday class and wish i could take her again ill miss her! :(
She really is such a good teacher takes the time to make sure you really understand everything. I hate math partly cus Im not good at it but this was my fav class to go to cus she always managed to make us laugh wish I could take her again!
Since Chavez is a Great professor in Mt. Sac, student should take her. I took her in math 50 through math 130. Students who got off from high school I recommend taking her. Im going to miss her.
I took her hybrid class and she was so great. She breaks it all down and gives you a million opportunities to bring your grade up and get your bad scores on homework up to good scores. She is very nice and cracks a lot of jokes. She is very easy going and will help as much as she possibly can. She even gives days IN CLASS to do the homework
Dropped the class since it was a hybrid course. ALEKS was being used as homework, (which also costs around $80). ALEKS is annoying, since you cannot move on to another problem until you get it right, which takes forever & makes life miserable. She does not teach during the day you meet, you teach yourself basically. Don't take the class, seriously.
If you have a hard time with math than the online class isn't for you. She doesn't teach/lecture AT ALL. On the days that you meet, you only do exams . The program ALEKS is the one teaching you how to solve for problems and 99.9% of the time, I would have to youtube it because ALEKS explanation didn't make sense. If ur good at math then take her.
my experience with her was amazing. She is such an easy going professor and easy to talk to. If you took high school algebra 2 or trigonometry it will be a breeze for you. if you struggle with math and aren't willing to work at it, shes not an easy A. you need o buy alex code, but no book so not bad. daily online aleks quizes. Shes amazing!!!!
I really enjoyed her hybrid class. She is a hilarious person. If you need to take any math class for credit, take her hybrid class. But if you are struggling with a math, do not take hybrid class.
Hybrid class. Super great! Really cares about her students and making sure they all succeed. Makes sure everybody knows they can reach out anytime and gives her availability. Oline work on Aleks can be tedious but not very hard. Very easy class if you do your study guides and keep up with Aleks. Definitely recommend taking her class!
I took math 71+7, I highly recommend this class. I've always been good at math but hadn't taken one since 2008. B/c of her class, I have my confidence back! The Aleks hw can be challenging but if you complete it you will do really well. The tests are much easier than the hw. Just dont fall behind on Aleks. Spend at least 2 hrs a day on it!
My class was a hybrid mostly online but I did had class time with this awesome professor. She's super funny and knows her stuff, she's a fair grader and she wants you to succeed but you have to show her that you know the material. I had 15 units and this was my hardest class, there's a lot of concepts to learn so use YouTube and her office hours!
The homework is online and graded online. Attendance is not mandatory, but his used for your grade. She does give other options if her lessons are not as clear (but they are.) This professor is laid back and enjoys to talk before the lessons and enjoys to know about her students. The homework at times is heavy depending on the chapter.
If math is easy for you then you should take this professor. If math isnt your strong point then I suggest not taking her as she can be discouraging to those who struggle. Before taking this class be aware she uses a math program called Aleks, pls look into it before enrolling. Aleks is what ruined this class for me and others in the class.
I took her HYBRID class. I have a strong math background but it was kind of hard to keep up because my other class would conflict. Her lectures are great!!! If you go to her office hours asking for help then you'll do good in the class trust me. ALEKS is used, if you don't finish by the due date, after the final she will open them again for a week
She will not contact you before dropping/withdrawing you. It was a self paced class using ALEKS and ALEKS was the worst platform I have ever used. I am pretty strong in math but ALEKS does not explain well. I had to rely on other mediums to understand the material. This class wasn't for me. If you need help w/ concepts don't take this class.
First of all, she uses a math website to upload a lot of homework to interact with you less. Then if you decided to take this class online, she will post lectures from a class she previously recorded during covid and the notes she pre filled out wont match those videos. DONT DO IT...
TERRIBLE!Avoid this professor at all costs. Has no idea why online courses exist, daily participation required abs small windows for tests. Used ALEKS only which is a program that spams with homework. Final exam is cumulative with 1 small notecard for notes and proctored via camera.I cannot empathize how horrible she is
Worst teacher ever, she discriminates against those with disabilities. Do not take her class I recommend another professor she will not be easy on you.
Great professor. Online class is super hard but it worked for me. She is easy to talk to and always available. Bad reviews are probably lazy students lol not an easy class by any means. Definitely prepared me for my next class.
100/10 prof. Trust me, she's so friendly and try to reach out to her. She'll give you extra credits, just ask. The lectures are not boring at all. Kinda her fav student in class, lol. Just do HWs after each class, you will not stress out before exams, or quizzes. Easy A.
Took math 130 + 13 support class. Professor has awesome personality. Great sense of humor and cares for students. The lectures and reviewing material were in person in class. All assignments and exams were on ALEKS and completed from the comfort of my home. Professor was well organized and had clear expectations. She allowed extra credit.
no lectures. no actual teaching, grading, proctoring. pay $$ to do HW and exams. u dont even know whats due.
Personality wise, she's cool and approachable. She used Pearson for our homework which was a little unintuitive at times. She allowed us to choose if we wanted to conduct our exam in person or online. Overall an okay professor.
Great professor! You get what you signed up for... lots of online work. Professor Chavez was available anytime I had questions. I kind of wish I had taken the class in person with her. It is a lot of work online. Notation is important too! You have to know how to write math
I took the online course. She didnt answer any emails I had when I asked for help regarding the homework. She also didnt provide her own lectures, but gave you lectures made by another professor instead. All the assignments are done on webassign which isnt as informative or helpful as MyLabMath. Lots of homework as well.
Professor Chavez is a great math professor, I would recommend attending every lecture and do as much homework as possible, 90% of the grade was tests and final tests, but if you understand most of the homework you should be fine for every test. Overall Professor Chavez is a 10/10 Professor.
Professor Chavez has a great personality and really cares about her students. The online ALEKS work can be tedious, but with help from Unstuck study and office hours, the class is manageable. Recommend for self-motivated learners.
Don't take calculus online. She assigns lectures from another professor and she takes weeks to reply. Many students had to talk to the dean to get answers from her ONLINE class. I've never had a class like this at Mt SAC or in my life. Pls take this class with her in person or with anyone else.
This rate is for Math 100. I had to drop the class after two weeks due to lack of guidance. Despite reaching out twice, Professor Chavez never responded. The course relies entirely on Pearson, which is costly and confusing. Her lack of communication left me lost, causing a "W" on my record and delaying my graduation. Very disappointing experience.
She barely even looks at emails about asking for help and questions. I had to drop during the week and wasted my time and money on the class. I have to take a extra semester because of this. Try to take it with someone else if possible.
She isn't very good at answer emails. She uses pearson which is hard and confusing. Another is that she doesn't have lecture notes or n0 lecture videos in general to help with pearson work. TAKE IT IN PERSON, I attempted it online but its a no. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY on math 150.
She's super funny making a lot of jokes and talkative with her students and very lenient with work. Her teaching is very simple and easy to understand especially if you already understand math. She even makes tests easy. As long as you do your work you're good with this class. Recommend her!!
this professor makes you pay for a subscription to access and submit homework. HIDDEN FEES ALERT. She does not give free access to this software. it should come with this course.
Summer course, (Math 100) they were all very throw and done though Pearson just be prepared for daily assignments since its a short term course, Ms.Chavez was amazing very good at communicating, very understanding and kind. I got very lucking taking her class since I am not the best at math but she really facilitated that for us.
I had the pleasure of taking Professor Chavez class over the summer. IT was very fast pace but the instruction was very clear.
In the classroom Prof Chavez is very competent, however we started the semester with all online homework assignments, intended for the whole semester, due the 3rd week of class (About 50+ assignments). As we went through the semester she manually adjusted the due dates of the assignments for the week, making it really difficult to track due dates.
Best Professor ever.
Prof chavez truly cares for your outcome for this class. If you have any questions she is not afraid to answer them. She also gives extra credit opportunities when necessary. If you show up and work hard she will notice that.
