Ms. Massey is an older gal that has that "old school" style of teaching. Write it on the board, you copy, onto the next thing. Very boring. She is helpful, but her style is outdated. If you can do a moderate pace, take this class, it isnt too bad, if you don't die of boredom first.
very good teacher. explains things very well and always opened for questions. always willing to work out a time to meet for help. gives lots of quizzes but if you do the homework youll do fine. ill be taking her again in the spring! for mac 1105
This Teacher is the best math teacher at TCC. She is an old school teacher thats uses every inch of her chalk board to get you to learn it. When she takes off her shoes, you know she's ready to throw down and teach. She gives quizzes almost every time. And her teaching method is the best. Pay attention in her class, come to class, Easy A
I really enjoyed her class,, great and helpful teacher.. she gives extra credit and replacement quizzes to help you get an A. Also around test and exam times she host 2 or 3 day tutor sessions for students.I am taking her for MAC 1105 because she is very understandable. hint: she gives extra credit when you do boardwork in class and ask question
Excellent professor, especially for students who have been out of school for a while. Same as with most classes. If you show and do the homework, you will do fine. She always makes herself available for 1 on 1 if you ask for it. I will be taking MAC1105 with her this summer.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! took her for 1033 and 1105, she's awesome! Always available for help :) Plus she really wants you to pass so she goes the extra mile. Do the online homework and quizzes cause it'll help!!!
Excellent teacher! Very helpful before, and even during tests. As long as you study, you should pass this course. Like I said, she helps you on the tests! She also tries to make the class somewhat fun and has a good sense of humor.
Great Teacher. Very Helpful/Determined. She Truly Cares About Her Students & Will Do Anything To Help You Succeed. She Gives A Lot Of Replacement Quizzes Incase You Score Low Or Miss One. She Also Tells You Whats On The Test & Goes Over The Material Again Before That Class. As Long As You Study And Put In Effort You Will Get An A I Did Take Her!
the best math teacher I ever had she make math fun!
Don't take her class. I went into the final with a "93" - I realized I had to take my final at 6 AM because I had a flight and she then decided to not count any of my quizzes and my grade went to a 79.4 - she would not ROUND. She has a very ridiculous personality and attempts to be funny with her "trash" and "junk" comments - not funny. Boo.
She is a great teacher! She gives multiple oppurtunies to make higher grades on your quizes and you have unlimited tries on your homeworks. There is no reason why you should not atleast get a B in the class, it was an easy A for me.
TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!! she is amazing! I sucked at math in high school and I was scared coming to college as a freshman. She makes everything easy and gives easy quizzes to those that actually show up to class for extra credit. She is very organized and humorous as well! I wish I could have her for all my other math courses.
This teacher is amazing!If u miss a quiz, she gives replacement quizzes that have questions like 1+1 on em or what day is a test. I took this class before with another teacher and I had to drop it but there was no way i'd drop this lady's class. Its super easy and all you have to do is do the online homework, the 3 tests and a couple of quizzes!!!
she is a really great teacher. i got an A in her class. i took her express term so we had to learn alot in one day. she lets you ask question during the test. she hold study sessions on weekends. and she would stay after class for any questions. just do the online home work cause it makes a big difference. highly recommend her.
I took her class this past summer, she is awsome. Explains everything well. Lets you know what she wants and gives extra credit. Take her. She is the best math teacher I have taken at TCC.
Ms. Massey is an AWESOME teacher. She's willing to help out everyone and she's super nice. I strongly recommend her. Textbook is online. All homework is online and you can retake all online quizzes and homework's till you get 100%. She gives 3 tests and it's based on the practice test she gives you with answers. Final exam is cumulative.
Ms. Massey was an excellent teacher! Very helpful, explains math clearly and gives extra credit. I did very well in the class and math is not my strongest subject. Make sure you do the online homework. Also, she gives replacement quizzes occasionally which helps out a lot too. Just don't be rude and talk while she's trying to teach.
I have only been in her class for a week, and find how amazing Ms.Masey is.She makes everything seem so clear and wants her students to succeed.I really enjoy how she teaches and she is really a nice person.She breaks down every math problem.Please don't be rude and talk while she is talking.She is soo inspiring.Plan to see you in Mac1105 Ms.Massey
Ms. Massey is one of the best, most caring professors I've met at TCC. She works her hardest just to make sure passing is simple and intuitive for her students. She makes a lot of brief jokes in class, so if you don't have a sense of humor it's probably best not to take her. Quizzes once/week at least, no formulas on tests, but tons of bonus points all around. She illustrates graphs extremely well and she focuses on the visual and spatial aspects of algebra, making the material more memorable. I wish she taught higher level math...
Ms. Massey is a God-sent. She cares so much about her students and goes OUT OF HER WAY to make sure they understand the material. She gives a lot of replacement quizzes & chances for bonus points on tests, so your chances of failing are slim. She always welcomes questions and makes herself available to everyone. She's such a great teacher take her!
It's easy to get behind if you miss even 1 day. If you attend, and do the homework, the class is easy to get an A in. She gives lots of chances to bring your grade up with all of the quizzes she gives. Many of them are replacement quizzes. She's a great teacher.
I have say it before and I will say iy agian MS. Massey is problem one on the best Professor at TCC.She is wiling to help you as much as she can.I enjoy listening to her techer, because everything seem so clear.She is a very nice person and funny at time but so means business when helping her students.Ms.Massey is so inspring and love caming 2class
Ms. Massey is awesome.
One of the best professors at TCC. She is amazing and will help you if you are willing to help yourself. If you don't show up to class you are really screwing yourself. It's easy to fall behind though. Do your work and show up ready to work and u should get a B at the MINIMUM.
Took Ms Massey in an express session during summer. She was very helpful in explaining anything you did not understand but you have to be willing to speak up. Don't fall behind on homework since its a BIG part of your grade and always come to class and stay until the end (you never know when she will give those unexpected bonuses)
Ms. Massey is GREAT!!! Best teacher I've had at TCC!! Class is rather hard, but Ms. Massey explains everything crystal clear!! Highly recommend taking her class even if math isnt your storng point!! GREATTTT TEACHER!!!
Professor Massey is a great professor. She gives you a lot of practice in class. And its mandatory to do your online homework and quizzes. Those are easy A's For those who hate math, you would need to do to class. She gives help on the weekend close to test and she makes class fun. And she will explain in great detail to make sure u understand.
Massey does not take attendance but if you don't go you will mis quizzes. She is very helpful if you ask and does a great job going over problems. Prepares you very well for all tests and makes the class very simple.
Had to take College Algebra again and Im so glad I picked her. If you suck at math and have a hard time understanding it TAKE her. She is very easy to understand and if you dont she is always willing to help out! She provides study sessions on weekends and the study guide is pretty much the test.
Ms. Massey is an AWESOME professor! I had to retake MAC1105 after withdrawing the first time with an F. I passed Ms. Massey's class with an A+! She helps you understand the work even if you have never understood math before. She has weekend sessions before tests and also gives you old tests as the reviews for coming up tests! TAKE HER!!
GREAT TEACHER. Certainly will make the material crystal clear, very helpful with preparing her students for the tests!!! I would recommend her to anyone if you fail her class, you weren't pro-active with studying the material.
What can I say? Ms. Massey is simply amazing! She does a great job at explaining all of the material in class--very clear and fluid. She provides lots of notes and study problems to prepare for exams, and also gives lots of extra credit. Very sweet lady who really wants students to succeed, and will do whatever she can to help!
Great teacher! She teaches very clearly. She gives excellent test review and offers a lot of extra credit on tests. She even has test reviews on weekends. Very dedicated teacher. I ended with a 98%!!!
I have struggled with math for the greater portion of my life. Prof. Massey was the light at the end of my infinitely depraved tunnel. If you struggle as well, don't look any further... Massey is the answer.
Genuinely a good teacher. She cares and gives countless possibilities to get help. She will provide you with stacks of different study guides, and just the right amount of work. Attendance is not mandatory; however, I did miss several days and had to catch up. She was honestly more understanding about it that I would have been on myself.
Awesome professor! She made the class fly by and kept your attention the entire semester. It was my second time taking it and I made over a 100. Definitely worth it!!!!!
Awesome teacher! Massey is the math teacher you want to have. She explains the material clearly, she listens to you and answers any questions you may have and she has a great personality. Eventhough I EARNED a high C the way she taught class and all of the extra time she gave for assignments I should've EARNED an A! #NO work, NO grade,NO Kidding
I have been out of school for 14 years. MAC 1105 was intimidating to me, Professor Massey was a huge help to me. She explains all material, lets you know how the class will be taught and is extremely helpful to those who have questions, by far one the best math teachers that I have had.
She is the best teacher ever! She is very sweet and humorous. Definitely take her. I had her for Algebra and she is clear and helpful. She can be a hard grader sometimes but she gives plenty of bonus points. Again, TAKE HER! Awesome teacher.
I LOVE HER. She's such a nice person, and she's very clear and helpful. You can tell she really cares about her students. Definitely go to class because she gives out random quizzes, but sometimes they're so easy (like 2+2=4) or you just put your name on it, and she gives you full credit. TAKE HER. SHE'S AWESOME.
Ms. Massey is FANTASTIC! I loved her class. She has a quirky sense of humor and she is extremely helpful. She is always willing to help. I took the class last year and we had to use Pearson's mymathlab. The book was on there but we never had to use it. Ms. Massey is a great teacher and you won't regret taking her.
Great teacher! If you go to class and take notes you're most likely going to get an A. Super helpful, and if you go to the class right before the test she'll pretty much tell you everything that will be on the test.
Very good teacher, knows what she is talking about and very helpful to the students. The first day is a little intimidating but it turned out to be a great class. In class quizzes and test aren't hard at all. TAKE HER
Great teacher all around. She has some quirks and some unique humor but a great teacher and great lady.
I mostly took this class because I needed another math credit & was looking for something simple. Definitely take her as a professor! She is very clear and super patient with you if you need any help. I never had to study much for her tests because of how thorough she was in class. No textbook&no final. Gives you option to retake test.
Ms. Massey is an all around great teacher. She is knowledgeable, very helpful and accessible, is approachable and extremely friendly, and expects from her students what she gives as a teacher. There is no final, just a retest for any test you want to improve on. Just show up to class. She gives easy surprise quizzes as rewards.
Best Teacher Ever!!! Mrs. Massey is very patient,helpful,and passionate about teaching. She goes sbove and beyond to make sure her students do well in her class.She make math easy to learn,so if you are not a math person,this is the class for you.
Professor Massey was awesome. Come to class. Speak up. There is never a dumb question. We are in college so don't be afraid. Anything you do not understand she will explain it especially if you are coming to class everyday and she knows you are doing your best. Keep up with your online homework and quizzes.
Awesome lady, just had her for my first semester and she made the semester better. She's extremely clear and there are never dumb questions in her class.
TAKE HER! I got an A in this class, and I am not a math person by any means! If you go to class, take notes, and pay attention YOU WILL GET AN "A". She has a lot of funny little expressions for things, and she gave a ton of examples and was happy to answer any questions.
While Donna Massey might be a good teacher to some, I found her class to be painstakingly boring. I could literally not bear to be in her class, the lectures are dull and the material is even duller.
Great teacher, reminds me of my nana. She gives replacement quizzes later in the semester. It's a math class, so unless you like class, its not super interesting. Good teacher, however. tenouttaten, would take again.
I am horrible in math yet received an A in college alg! I went to class every single day because of notes and the random extra credit quizzes. There's a good bit of homework but it counts as a quiz grade, its an easy A, and it helps you understand the problems you'll be seeing come test day. You have to work for your grade but she helps big time!!
Very nice and good math professor. I'm really bad at math but she made the lessons very clear on how to do them and what she is looking for on tests. YOU NEED TO GO TO CLASS. If you don't go your grade will suffer so I don't recommend taking an early morning class with her. But she is really great!
Great Teacher!
Great Lady! She does great with dealing with students. I hardly EVER went to class. Notes online! Lots of homework though. Would take again! Goes above and beyond to help her students pass! :)
Super sweet, funny lady. She teaches just like Salak, uses all of his material. There is a bunch of online homework!!! She has two review days before the test where she goes over everything you need to know! She answers every question and doesn't make you feel dumb.
Absolutely on point in making sure she gives you all the resources you need outside of the basics to pass. Ms. Massey loves what she do and it reflects in her teaching. Would definitely take her again!
Donna Massey is fantastic! She is very caring about her students. If you ask, she'll offer Saturday help sessions before a test. I've learned a lot from her. Also, she gives VERY easy pop quizzes.
The text is online and a must. Professor Massey will help you succeed if you put in the time. She goes above and beyond the call of duty regularly. She is a super nice person and a treat to learn from. I am not a math person, historically, but Indid very well in her class. Take her if you can.
She is the most wonderful math teacher I've ever had the pleasure to have. I've never enjoyed math and have had a bad experience and overall found it boring but she changes that. She is sooo sweet and I admire her respect she shows to her students. She makes it fun and enjoyable and cares so much! She wants to see us succeed and I love her for it.
TAKE HER!!!!!! If i didn't have i wouldn't know what i would do. She makes learning math sooooo easy. She answers all you question and explain everything very well. i have an A in her class. if i can do well then you can(;
Notes were in the mymathlab, and she taught from the notes. she explained things when needed, and overall was just as awesome as the reviews. i would love to take her again.
By far the best math teacher I've ever had! She makes sure everyone understands a problem before moving on to the next. She answers every question directly so there's no confusion with/during a problem. Very accessible out of class. Professor Massey really cares about you passing. If you're not a math person like me, take her and you'll do great!
One of the best teachers I have ever had in my entire life. If you can take this teacher and want to actually learn, she will make everything easy to understand. I skipped a lot but when I went to class I truly felt like I understood the criteria and my confidence went up about the subject. I regret not being there more often to take in everything
Best teacher ever!!!! Very patient and passionate about making sure every student learns the material. She extends office hours if times permits and gives easy extra credit assignments to help boost grades if you need it. I took her MGF1106 class and I made a 108%. She makes math super easy. Come to class be on time and you will pass.
she is amazing just lots of homework, but plenty of time to get it done
Easily the best teacher I've ever had. Homework is easy although there can be a lot. Test review problems are similar to what the actual test will be like.
Shes an acceptable teacher but unless your ready to do tons of work I advise not taking her. And if youd like to hear her call herself "The Wicked Witch of the West" all the time and make corny jokes I advise you to take someone else. Test are pretty straight forward but test reviews have nothing to do with whats on the test.
She's the best!! She's very clear in her teaching methods. She gives extra credit, allows you to retake one test (each count as 22%), and homework counts 12%. She's the nicest person ever too!
She is so helpful and truly cares about her job and students.
shes just great if u want to pass go to class study and you will prevail
She is an amazing teacher! She will be there for you if you need help with anything you don't understand. There are specific instructions on how she grades and there are bonus points included. Homework is all online, very simple and not much if you don't procrastinate. If you study the Test Study Guide, you WILL pass the test, Very similar to Test.
Professor Massey was extremely helpful with college algebra. I struggle with math and attended her office hours daily because the lectures moved fast. She helped me every step of the way in this class. The homework is definitely important and a large part of your grade. Tests aren't bad if you study and the final is straight from the review guide.
One of the nicest professors I have ever had. She explains the material really well and makes sure everyone understands before she moves on to the next thing. She always has atleast 3 review days before tests so it is impossible not to understand unless you dont show up. If you show her you care she will help you as much as possible.
Professor Massey is just a straightforward person. She makes sure you got the material before moving on to the next topic. The test is exactly like the unit test reviews, plus there are bonus questions. Just show up, study, and you will pass.
Not very helpful and didn't seem to care about student success. Visited office many times and wasn't helpful at all and even left once and didn't come back to finish helping
The best math teacher. Just do it
Very nice professor. Try not to miss her class or you will miss a lot, but she will work with you if you need help. Her test reviews are just like the tests, but STUDY for them because she is a TOUGH GRADER! There is a ton of online homework, so don't procrastinate on that. Only had 1 real pop quiz, but it wasn't for a grade.
When I ask for help
Really great professor, she graded tests pretty strictly but if you do the homework and show up to class youll do fine!
Professor Massey was the best math teacher I have ever had. This was the first time I truly understood math thanks to her. She is always willing to work with you and answer any questions you have. There is a lot of homework assigned but you have plenty of time to complete it. 10/10 would recommend.
Ms. Massey was a fine teacher. Thats the perfect word to describe her class. Mediocre but online homework was ridiculous. She did what she had to do and constantly reminded us that it was a hybrid class and for that reason we had to go extremely fast through the lessons and work in class. We also had limited access to the test reviews/ answers.
Not many assignments
You are only graded by a few tests and the homework in this class; so its important to do good on her tests. It was probably easier for me because I have learned all the material before, but if I had a question on the homework she would always email back very quickly. The homework can be a little excessive and take a while.
she is a very harsh grader, test are all free response & if you dont do it specifically to her standard you get the entire problem wrong meaning theres 18 questions but 10 parts to each question & if u miss 1 part the entire thing is wrong. There is a lot of hw but she gives you the unit to do it & 1hr in the math hub is required, go 2 office hours
she requires a packet that she puts together herself for notes in class and examples that could be on the test and is around 17$ I recommend getting it because she moves fast in class and theres a lot you have to do and learn on your own. she doesnt post individual grades on canvas she post a percentage of your grade from off of lumenohm
She is the best. Her test reviews are exactly like the test. There is tons of homework but it is manageable. She makes the subject so easy!
Literally the worst professor I've ever had. She's not helpful AT ALL and will not help you if you ask, she kind of makes you feel bad about asking? She is a super tough grader and requires you to show every bit of work on your test, forgot a parenthesis in your work that took you 15 minutes? whole question is marked wrong. Do. Not. Take. Her.
She'll mark an entire question wrong if you skip steps, or leave out a single parentheses. She moves fast and can only really explain things one way, so if you don't understand that one way, you just wont understand it. SO much online homework that is worth most of your grade. Tests are all short response.
This class was an easy A. Mrs Massey made the class extremely easy, print out the notes that she gives you because she goes over each page as her lectures. Her review sheets for tests help a lot for the actual test itself, and she really wants you to do well meaning she will work with you.
In the beginning she seemed like she was so hard but really she's not. She gives you all the notes and study guides to help you study for the tests. She literally gave out pop quizzes with questions like "2+4?" If you do the work you'll pass.
Professor Massey is literally the best math teacher EVER. Her class fills uo fast, but i but my whole first semester around her and i am so glad i did. She is extremely helpful and gives you every chance tto pass her class with over a 100%
She is awesome! She explains stuff very well and will go over stuff as many times as needed. Does lots of extra credit. Responds to emails very fast. Very approachable and makes time for her students. The homework can be hard but she will help you with that. If you put in the work, you will pass. I highly recommend her!!
AMAZING. I had to retake mac1105 because I failed over the summer ( with a diff. prof) and i was told to take Massey. I ended up passing with an A and i am awful at math. she really takes the time to make sure you understand it. goes out of her way to do study sessions on weekends, study guides are like the tests. please take her!
Worst professor ever!!!! There are three tests, each have about 15 questions but have 12 parts to each question. If you miss ONE step, such as a parenthesis, she won't just take 1 point away, she'll mark the ENTIRE THING WRONG!!!! You can get a 5% on her tests for missing two steps on the entire test, where normally you might get a 75-80%.
Honestly, she's a great professor you literally have to pass her tests that's it which are just like her reviews. The homework is 10X's harder than her actual test and it's just solo much and barely effects your grade. I passed with a 97 by just passing her tests, I barely did any homework. She's amazing:)
If you're looking for an easy way out, you won't like Ms. Massey. But if you actually care about learning, Ms. Massey is an AMAZING teacher. She's a tough grader, but really cares about her students so if you study and ask questions when you don't understand, you will get a very good grade. She offers lots of extra credit. I totally recommend her.
Best professor ever!! There were 4 units cover and there was 1 test and a few homework assignments for each. For the homework and had 100 tries for each problem. The teacher was very understanding and gave SOOO MANYYY extra credit opportunities. She was always ready to help when I needed help with an assignment. A++ RATING FROM ME!
She has very few graded assignments but she makes up for it with her easy explaining. If you get stuck she will go back to the specific question and she will do it in class. She treats her classes like group work, she waits for people to ask questions so she can help you! She was also EXTREMELY accessible outside of class, she was ALWAYS available!
The best prof I've ever had. She's kind, funny and you can ask ANY question and she won't make you feel stupid or sound angry. All lectures and notes are accessible! She's so willing to help and the class is really logical, can be a little tricky but, as a non-math person, I absolutely love this class especially with Ms. Massey as the professor!
Professor Massey is one of the BEST professors I have ever had. She is the sweetest, most helpful professor ever. I've always struggled in math until her course, where I finally understood math. She also has VERY helpful office hours; if you need a little extra help, all she wants for her students is success!
This was a class that you definitely had to show up and give your 100% attention to in class, but I loved Mrs. Massey. She is such a good teacher and you can actually understand the math. There is a lot of homework, but you can have an easy A if you come to class, and do your work as it's assigned. If you struggle with math, TAKE HER CLASSES!
One of the best math professors I have ever had. Her lectures were so strong and easy to follow. If you showed up and took notes you were set. You could use your notes on the tests and she did a walk-through study guide before every test. 100% recommend. Easy homework assignments with plenty of time to complete.
She uses Lumen, not Canvas so that would be my only complaint. She cares about her student's grades and is always willing to help if you ask. I had her for zoom and I loved it. She's the first math teacher I've had where I wasn't struggling 24/7. Her way of teaching made it easy to understand.
Professor Massey is one of the most caring professors I have had. I am awful when it comes to math, but her notes and test reviews are very helpful. She offers extra help every week. Very easy class to pass as long as you make sure to do your homework and read the test reviews before the tests. There's 4 tests, hw is due every few weeks.
This class is very strict on the use of PROPER NOTES, she will absolutely kill your test grade if you do not provide the in-class work that you learned during her course. Do any form of the problem differently and she will mark the entire question wrong. Tests also suck because problems are worth different scores so make sure to study.
I love Mrs. Massey! She's spunky and tells you exactly what you need to do to pass. She even offers some extra credit, but you have to go to class to know what it is. Whenever I had a question, I could just email her and she was really good about responding, plus she has really generous office hours. I would definitely take her class again!
Great professor! You can tell she cares about her student's success. There are 4 tests and each is worth 22% of your grade, but there's an alternate grading scale if you're not a good test taker. She also allows test retakes as well. I hate math but this class is not hard.
There are 4 tests with an opportunity to retake each test, she let us use open notes, and we did a mock test for almost all tests. Homework is online and doesn't always follow the teaching but she helps you if you ask. Wish she was available for all of my math classes.
She's an amazing instructor. Very helpful and kind.
This professor is not at all what these ratings say. Math is by far my best subject, always been in accelerated classes. She wears a mask so you can't understand what she is saying. I'm literally scared to talk to her now so will probably drop which is very unfortunate. She is probably the worst teacher I have ever had.
She has all of the class notes posted from the beginning of the course so, if you miss a day the notes are there. She also gives you two practice tests per test that are almost identical. All of the homework is online and she is very helpful going over questions in her office hours. If you go to class and apply yourself you will be fine.
Professor Massey is an amazing professor. I am usually very bad at math, but she is great at explaining. Is always eager to help you and answer questions if anyone is confused. Tests are open notes, and at the end of the semester you are allowed to re take all 4 of the exams once if you choose to. I'd recommend her to anyone!
Was an amazing teacher, overall great and super helpful. If your not ready to put in the hard work you will not be successful in this class. It is hard but worth it because I now know math very well! Shes also super helpful so work with her if you struggle.
Mrs. Massey is a kind person and she is always open to helping students. There is a bit of homework nothing insane but still a lot. There was 4 tests and they were each worth 20% with one replacement grade with a higher score on the final. Effort matters. I wouldn't recommend this class to FSU pathways students but if you just need a C take it.
This review has nothing to do with Mrs. Massey as a person, she was nothing but nice. It was the way she taught and graded that I struggled with. On tests your work is graded quite harshly, if you have a mistake in your work the whole problem is wrong. Tests are a very big part of the grade, so it can be very hard to come back from a bad start.
I never get below B, and the only F I had in my two years was because she didn't want to cooperate when I told her that my brother was in a car crash. Went IN PERSON and took the final in front of her own eyes and she would still say "If u don't show math work just like I do in class, that's missing steps" I never had issues with math in my life.
Terrible. Downright abhorrent. AVOID. She will absolutely kill your test grade if you miss a single step or don't show work the way she does it. I got a TWO out of 100 on the first test because the work was not done "the way she does it in class." Every other professor I've had lets you do it however you want, and I might've gotten a 75 or 80%.
Way too much homework and she is one of the harshest graders I have ever seen! She marks off for simple mistakes such as a wrong sign or missed step, in which she will mark an entire question wrong that took you 10 minutes to do. Other professors just ignore it or take minor points off, but she demands the work be done her way. Stay away!
Her expectations are insane! She really expects you to do the problem to her standards or the whole question is wrong. Lots of homework and I found her to be less than helpful. Tests are 80% of your grade and HARD. If you do not show your work the way she does it or do anything differently the whole question is wrong. Take someone else!!!!
Prof. Massey has high expectations, but if you put in the work, it's worth it. The tests are tough, but she's always willing to help. Unstuck AI was a game-changer for my study prep.
Never again. Was not at all understanding when I was knocked out with COVID and wouldn't listen (this was during early 2021 when it was still an issue). Absolutely kills test grades when work isn't done exactly how she wants it. Ridiculous amount of homework.
Rude and condescending, makes fun of you for asking legit questions. She gave me a dirty look when I was looking for clarification on a topic and another classmate sitting next to me defended me over it.
Never again. Rude, makes fun of you and is an insanely harsh grader. Unrealistic expectations and expects you to show the work the exact way she does it. She does have good office hours but still expects way too much for AA seeking students.
I am a straight A student but the only C I ever got in college came handy of this professor who was rude and inconsiderate. You do any part of a test question differently than she shows and she gives you a 0 on test, even if it's right. There's a YouTube video of her talking about "retention" so I guess she absolutely loves to flunk her students.
