Makes learning stressful. Penalizes students for handing in homework if incorrect as opposed to showing them what they need to work on. If you have a question, her answer is, "It's in your notes." If you miss something during class you're S.O

Never have I met such a non-objective grader in my learning career. She takes points off of assignments very liberally. You are allowed almost no freedom in your code. If it's not 100% to her specification (down to the comments), you're not getting full marks. Do your best to avoid this professor.

Seems like a very nice woman, but her class was overly difficult. She made frequent mistakes on the problems she demonstrated on the board & she was often absent. Her grading policy on homework was ludicrous, taking off 'style' points if she thought your work wasn't neat enough. She was not an effective teacher.i had a 3.8 before her class. AVOID!

Professor Lukaszewski is a efficient, fair, caring, flexible and professional person. She is always clear when lecturing. Professor Lukaszewki seems to grades homeworks and exams for neatness and styles. She is so willing to give extra credits on exams and include group work as well. Professor Lukaszewsk seems to give her students a grade report.

I have never had this much trouble with math. She took off points because i crossed out an answer. This should tell you what kind of professor she is. Gives almost no partial credit. Take her if you want to struggle in math. Im one of the few lucky winners in my class that received a B, thats because half of the students had to drop.

lectures are confusing. claims to want to help you but once you email her for class she tells you she went over it in lecture and gives no help. Claims to be so caring and helpful then show otherwise when a student reaches out for help. do not recommend.

I thought she gave a lot of opportunities for students to raise their grades with group works and graded homework. Her lectures were pretty clear but if you missed a class, you will be confused for the next few classes. I think she really cares about her students and wants us to do well.

Normally, math class is an overall easy class for me. Go to class, pay attention, take notes, ask questions, do the work, and I'll pass with at least a B. Not this time. In this class, if you don't understand it, you won't get it. She doesn't answer questions and often teaches material not related to the class. I don't recommend her.

She's a tough grader but also a nice person. It's impossible to teach a 700+ page book in one semester, so make sure you study the topics voluntarily. Hand in every homework, do extra credits, attend to every class, and study the cumulative review sheet from the Math Walk-in Center for the final.

Her way of teaching is very sloppy. She uses random examples that she creates, and are significantly simpler than the questions she posts on her tests. She does occasional group works which makes the class more bearable. Very tough grader. I used to average nothing less than B+ in my math courses, with her I barely have a C.

Uses random examples that she just makes up. These examples are nothing compared to the problems on the exams, which take up 85% of your grade. Terrible at giving you help, usually just tells you to figure it out on your own at home. Awful teacher, nice person, but awful teacher.

You'll end up doubting yourself after taking her class. Her method of teaching is one size fits all. She does not bend or try to accommodate different levels of understanding. She requires to purchase the textbook but not once used in class and gives handouts of problems to practice instead. Strict classroom policy enforcer. A rocket scientist.

She is not a good professor, I advise you to switch out of her class ASAP!!!! Her tests are pretty difficult and she is one of the toughest graders I have ever seen.

I do not recommend this professor for MAT-160. She does not take the time to lecture to the class, instead of handed out paper notes and assigned us to read them with no lecture what so ever. When she did chose to lecture, it was to the point but would confuse us by using future concepts as examples. Sarcastic when asking questions to her.

This teacher did not care for their students at all for Mat-160. She didn't teach at all. She posted videos and assigned homework that was never graded. When she sent the answer sheet on moodle, it was impossible to understand her writing. 3 tests and 1 final. She will not post your grade until it's too late.

Professor L. is very straight forward with what she wants. Exams are difficult but if you're good at algebra, you'll pass or else you have to end up teaching yourself! Homework assignments aren't graded but it definitely benefits you doing it in order to learn the subject. 4 exams are graded along with confirmation emails that count as attendance.

Does not teach, gives dead links as the resources. Gives no graded work; dependent on tests alone. Instead you send "confirmation emails" every week. Does not respond to emails. Makes you calculate your own grade average if you'd like to see it. Stingy on math notation.
