This teacher is very caring and sweet. She will go out of her way to help you but at the same time she is not afraid to fail you. Easy test if you study, she makes class fun with group activities.

Really sweet lady. She is a good fair teacher, but it ultimately depends on you to get a good grade. If you hate mellow people, don't take her class.

Her tests are not too hard nor too easy. She will help u if u don't understand her lecture or your homework. However, she's a little bit weird. On one side, she's very kind and nice. On the other side she's mean. she's a great teacher, though.

I noticed 3 posts of ratings 1 1 1 on the SAME day. I wonder if it is the SAME person. My rating: Indeed her tests are hard. Nevertheless, people get 90%+ test in the class. I thought I'd be gettin a D in the class but I'm actually passin. Good teacher.

best math teacher i ever had. she goes back to the basics & explains how (and why!) many math concepts were developed. although in math 15 she seemed to talk too much about irrelevant things or things that were TOO basic.

She's the best. She counducts the lesson clearly. And I love the way she says:"God bless you!" when there's somebody Atch-chy. She's very generous on grading her students and for sure, she's responsible! I mean, she's my favorite teacher.

Ms. Nordstrom is so nice, she is soooo easy, all you have to do is the homework and most of the times she doesnt even collect it, she prepares you really well for all the tests, and she answers every single question even if it takes all class she's great!

She isnt as bad as ever1 makes her out 2 B. If u dont understand something she will explain it to u. She'll even go out out of her way 2 help u if u go to her during off. hrs. just dont expect her 2 spoon feed u during class- this is COLLEGE!

i liked her personally, but i understand why everyone else on this page doesn't. well, i liked math so i was ok, but everyone else in the class were struggling. she doesn't explain things well enough. people don't really ask questions, so she assumes everyone understood. there was only 1 A, no B, the rest were C's and D's.

so much work.....

i think she's a great teacher in that she understands the concepts of what she's teaching and she shows that to her students. what she doesn't do is go over how to do everysingle problem. if you just read the section you should have no problem figuring i

Mrs. Nordstrom is a great teacher. she is always helpful and enthusiastic. she makes the class environment fun. tests may be a little hard. she's kinda picky, but that ensures her that you understand the stuff. homework is easy points. she drops low quizzes and curves tests. i don't why people would be negative about her.

I personally like mrs. Nordstrom very much, i think she is a very nice teacher and if you go to her in her office hour, you will get a lot of help. she doesn't grade too hard. if you are going the right for the problem, she will give you most of the points you deserve. overall she is a very decent teacher.

A warning for all.Reviews must be carefully read before making a proper judgement on a professor.Mrs Nordstrom is beyond great and her ability to always be animated is great.She knows her stuff and is ALWAYS willing to help her students.People who give her bad reviews are just slackers that dont care to work hard.This teacher will get you there.

People who complain just did not study.This teacher is very helpful and teaches the material well.All you need to do is study,do homework,take notes and ask questions.Highly Recommended!

Mrs Nordstorm was a great professor i've ever seen. Those people that complain about her because they didn't even try to study hard. I'd improve my mathematics skill after attended her class.

Nice and personable. Oversimplified instruction and hard test material. you'll get the icing and gumdrops version of calculus in class and the shaft on the exam. You'd better study!

Nice, competent, and energetic, but a bit moody at times. She teaches well, but her no calculator/no extra-credit policy sorta bugged me. She will try to pull fast ones on tests and I don't think she allows make-up work, but overall, she's a good teacher.

Very nice person! She really hopes you to succeed in her class. She is a type of easy-talking and humorous. Just my opinion, the clarity of her lecture is not so good. You gain your skill mostly by doing homework.And her test is not hard but its length makes us difficult to get an A.If you are type of hard-working people, take her and you can get A

Her teaching is actually quite efficient if you pay attention, however, shes does, very frequently, try to relate math concepts with something that makes absolutely no sense. Her tests are really hard and require a full understanding of the material. She's challenging.

very good teacher. took her for winter intersession. shes really nice and is very helpful. she made me love math again!! i struggled with trig. in high school. after taking her, its one of the easiest subjects for me. she helps u really grasp the concept. no memorizing once u understand the material.

On the first day I was thinking, "What did I get myself into." This math is very different and challenging and overall very interesting and fun. As for Prof Nordstrom, she is always friendly and cheery. You are expected to participate in with others in class and help each other out during class. English comprehension is a must.

She is a good teacher, u can totally understanding her lecture. Once u done ur homework u go credit on that. it helps u a lot. like me, i usually got 80 something for the test, but i turn in all the hw...final i got 286/300 and i got a A from her class!!

do your homework

She is so nice and friendly. Her tests are hard sometimes, but if you study u will be fine. She does her best to help you understand the material!!! Try to go to her office and ask questions.

Great professor! The class itself was hard but her lectures make the material very easy to grasp. Hard test but if you study you will at least get a passing grade and if class didn't do as well she will curve tests! I got a B in her class, but i put in alot of effort. i probably could have got an A but i screw the final(got a C)..

I took her during Fall 2007 as her MATH 402 student. I'm not sure how she lectures in other level of math classes, though I think she is an excellent 402 teacher. Even though you may think the class is useless, after you leave he class, you'll realize that you've gained a lot from that class. I loved her!

I was very scared to take her class since her rating was pretty low here. Despite all of the negative ratings, I think she is a great math teacher at least for 402 students. She is very energetic and will go over any kind of questions that students ask. Recommend for 402 students!I don't know how she is with other levels so I'll keep my mouth shut.

She's nice but she's a pain to ask for help. She treats you like you're a 5 year old when she's helping you and it's annoying so no one really want to ask her for anything. I really wasn't interested in coming to class because of her and I always get this awkwardness when I approach her. I feel like she just looks at me like I'm a little kid.

Prof. Nordstrom is a good teacher. She has tons of energy. As long as you understand what you're doing, the class will be easy. She will cover basically everything that is tested and if you have questions she will go over it so you can understand it. Very helpful. Take her if you're serious about trying in math.

THIS TEACHER IS THE BEST!!!! very cool very sweet will help you with anything you ask!! take her! the best teacher at PCC by far!!!! i wanted to learn from her i enjoyed the class took it this winter and the time went by soo fast! i was in class everyday for 4 hrs and it was great! drops 1 test grade and 1 quiz grade! oh and she has ENERGY!!!!

Great teacher! class is pretty easy...tests and quizzes every week, drops one test score, works with math xl. I highly recommend her.

AMAZING PROF. ALWAYS willing to answer your questions if you just ask! her teaching style pretty much changes & adapts to YOUR needs. understands that each student learns differently. extremely helpful. believes in understanding big picture/entire concept rather than making you memorize/regurgitate equations. def. prepares u 4 higher math classes!!

NORDSTORM RULES. it is true, she often has short 2 minute tangents but if that's really affecting your learning anymore than it is to occasionally daydream than i suggest you don't take math. utilize her office hours, she is extremely helpful and patient but do your homework! math path is hard but she helps make it very possible to succeed

She is amazing! She will try to make you understand everything according to your learning style. She really invests a lot of time into her students understanding but if you like a teacher who just wants you to memorize formulas and use them without knowing why, then don't take her. She prepares you for higher level classes and is very fair!

Professor Nordstrom is a very caring teacher. I love her and I'm planning on taking her for Math Path 7A&B. She cares about her students so much! If you need help, GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS! She's always willing to help you out!

I had Prof. Nordstrom for a sub for just one day and I knew instantly that this was a teacher that cared. Her lectures are clear and concise, and interesting enough to gauge everyone's attention. She's a fast talker and sometimes goes off on tangents but she's very interesting.Def recommend her.

Yes Ms. Nordstrom can go off tangent, however, she is a good teacher and EXTREMELY helpful. She will take time during class AND office hours to guide you step by step through a problem. Her exams are also very long and tedious! But she grades fairly easy as long she can tell that you understand the problem

She's a great professor! I had her for 7A-B math path and I will continue to take her for calculus. Granted that the content is not necessarily a piece of cake, she does go out of her way to help students succeed. Do your part, study and DO the hw, and you'll be fine. She's always willing to meet outside of class as well as on her off time, so I REALLY recommend her if you're committed to learn and to get a good grade.

I thought she was a very devoted teacher. I was always good at math but she definitively goes beyond just memorizing formulas. She teaches you to actually comprehend it. She's a very reliable teacher who loves to be asked questions.

Ms. Nordstrom is an awesome professor. At first I wasn't sure I would get used to her teaching style but once I gave her a chance I really adapted to it. I am not one who is good at math without having to do the work behind it. It was a challenge, but her door is ALWAYS open to you. She grades tests & responds to emails very promptly. Great lady :)

What Can I say..AWESOME!!!! Proffesor Nordstrom is a phenominal teahcer. She is full of life and very resourceful. You gotta be prepared to do the work, but she'll be excellent in preparing you. Highly recomend.

Ms. Nordstrom was an amazing teacher who goes out of her way to help you. When I was having problems in another class, she tutored me through on her free time. I not only got a lot out of her original class, I made a friend who I can count on to help me. And she laughs at my sarcastic remarks. Love Nordstrom!

Nordstrom is a nice lady. She's attentive to her students needs and generous in her office hours if you need math tutoring. She's challenged in her ability to control people and class distractions though, including her own off-topic stories about her son. Test questions are pretty straightforward and homework is directly out of the book.

Ms. Nordstrom is the best maths professor I've had. I was worried about taking her class after reading these ratings, but I'm really glad I did. She's a genuine instructor with a big heart that cares about your education - and wishes you cared about it too. Take her class, pay attention and better yourself, please.

Great teacher loved her ..will need to complete hw and study for test will replace ur lowest grade w/final in ur favor .. Really recommend her !

She is the sweetest lady ever and will do anything she can to help you pass. Just go to class, pay attention and do your homework. If you're struggling, just communicate with her. She's really helpful and understanding and will make time to help you. I woud definitely take her class again! :)

Nordstrom is by far the best professor I've ever had! Her teaching method is phenomenal and she is the kindest, most generous teacher anyone in my class has ever had! She will help you to the moon and back if you really want to succeed! She makes it very easy but you need to do all the homework & quizzes or you won't pass. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!

Really caring and helpful, she will go out of her way to help students who ask for it. She has lots of office hours and puts a lot of thought into her lessons and how she teaches/communicates with students. There is a lot of homework/homework every day, so don't take her if you are looking for an easy class. But if you want a challenge, go with her

Took her for math this summer. First impression she's a really nice lady. Her class is pretty easy as well. Her lectures aren't even that bad I'm interested in her lectures. Overall she is really nice and caring. Ask for help and she will help you! You can pass this class no problem.

Great teacher loved her. i hope i will find her on the 402.

Prof. Nordstrom is simply AMAZING! I despised math until I met her. She truly wants you to understand so she simplifies lectures and clarifies anything you're having a problem with.

I love professor Nordstrom!!!! She always wears a big smile and comes to the class with a positive attitude. You can tell that she really loves her job. She wants everyone in her class to pass and she will put time and effort to help her student. Absolutely the best professor I have ever had. She made math so much fun! :)

I have a tough time grasping math. However, I am taking her again because I KNOW that she wants each and every student to pass her class. She will take time out to explain problems to you. She will make time to see you if you agree upon a certain time. She's funny and makes math bearable! She will step by step & break it down. She KNOWS math!

Professor Nordstrom is an amazing and very helpful math teacher, also she will go to great lengths to help an individual student, so I do highly recommend her.

Professor Nordstrom is easily my favorite professor. She explains things very well and is more than happy to help students if they don't understand the work. She's also unbelievably nice and polite with a bright and positive attitude about teaching. You can tell right away she cares very much about education and math. I couldn't recommend her more.

She is great Prof. She knows how to teach students and which way is the best way. She gives homework that comes from text book. Also, she uses many sources helping students to understand easily. Her lecture is very is to understand. Tests questions comes from homework. She respects her students. Definitely I will take her classes again.

Professor Nordstrom is BY FAR one of the BEST teachers I have ever had. I've always had anxiety over math and she is always there to help! The only people who don't pass this class are the people who don't complete their homework and don't take advantage of her office hours. This class is meant to make you think! Do the work and you will get it!

Prof. Nordstorm is one of the best professors I've ever had. She's VERY caring. She's willing to help you if you don't understand the material and encourages people to go to her office hours. I would say homework is good amount. I didn't do so well in the beginning of the semester, but she definitely helped me get back on track. Would recommend!

Her class demands a lot of your time on doing homework and studying. In class I found her to be very engaging and very easy to talk to. If you paid attention in class, the material wasn't hard to understand and if you at some point felt lost she was very open to helping you in her office hours. All the homework paid off for her quizzes and tests.

She is one of the sweetest person. I did struggle in her math path classes because the test questions weren't based on what she lectures in class. She does drop your lowest test score if she sees that you did better on your final and in the end, she does try her best to pass you with a good grade. Really appreciate her for that. HW is not a problem

Highly recommend taking her and honestly I suck at math and avoided it as long as possible but Nordstrom made it enjoyable

LOVED her! best teacher ever! she's super nice an super accessible for office hours and any help you need!

I enjoyed her teaching style and thought she was a fair instructor. I guess there might be a bit much homework but that's ok for me. I feel like she did a great job explaining things and making things make sense. Sometimes calls students out who are making it harder for others (coming to class late and the like) but that doesn't bother me

All Math classes have a lot of homework. Prof Nordstrom was very patient, kind and encouraging to help you in anyway she can. As long as you do the homework, you'll be fine. She uses Canvas for some homework and the book She entourages all her students to come in during her office hours for study group tutoring. She is willing to help.

She is really friendly and she really helps out a lot of people and wants you to understand shes a wonderful professor

Professor Nordstrom is so sweet and fun. Math is not my greatest strength nor my favorite subject but she is super sweet and very flexible. Lots of homework both online and from textbook. The class is super long but gives breaks. If you do the homework and study, you will pass but she is willing to help you if you make an effort.

Shes an engaging, top-notch professor and she kept the class under control. I am so lucky to have had her as my first math teacher in community college. She taught me how to self-study and be prepared for school. Thanks to her methods, I am now an accomplished student at Cal State.

I took her class during winter. She is an amazing professor. She gives us bunch of homework. Make sure that you have enough time to do homework. Homework weighted 15% of your grade. All tests are really basic. She put most of formula on a test paper. Anyway, she is a really good professor. I highly recommend you take her class!

I took Professor Nordstrom during winter, so the work was rigorous but very rewarding. Shes honestly the best math professor Ive taken so far. Highly recommend.

One of the best math professors on this campus. She really cares for her students and wants everyone to pass. You just have to be willing to put in effort.

I've taken math 150 and stats with Dr. Nordstrom. They were both fantastic experiences. As long as you are willing to learn, she will go above and beyond to make sure you comprehend the material. She is very passionate and wants all of her students to succeed. I once feared math, and now it is my major. Seriously an AMAZING professor!

Professor Nordstrom is an amazing Math teacher. There is a lot of homework if you don't pace yourself. If you understand the homework, you'll do fine on tests. Her lectures are sometimes a little fast but nonetheless, they're great. She is extremely nice!!!! If you have any questions don't be scared to ask, she is always there to help you succeed.

Nordstrom is the nicest math professor ever! She is really caring and if you are willing to put in the effort, you will learn a lot in her class. Her lectures are great and she always explains things thoroughly. if your confused, ask questions!!!! she will try her best to help you. The class is test heavy but they are easy as long as you do the hw

She is an amazing woman, gives a welcoming vibe, great lister and very help and lots of office hours. But the material is very heavy and the way she presents the information is too much. Its basically new material every day and hard tests that if you fail will lower your grade. Long story short, my class started with 30 and ended with 10. so yeah..

Prof Nordstrom is such an inspiring professor. She cares deeply about her students, and it shows. She is a great professor with warmth and dynamic enthusiasm- that motivates her students. Her instructional aids were clear and organized on canvas, and her way of highlighting the main ideas helped me retain the major informations. Thank you Professor

This is probably the hardest class I've had to take ( I suck at math too ) but Professor Nordstrom really does everything possible to help. She responds quickly to emails and has office hours everyday. She went out of her way to schedule a conference zoom just to help me, honestly a really good professor.

Calculus is going to be difficult no matter how great your professor is. What helps with the frustration and struggle is having a caring professor who knows how to help you examine a problem from multiple angles in hopes that you might understand one of them. She grades tests based on how well you understand the concept, not on the final answer

Prof. Nordstrom is always willing to help students. She spent long hours during her office hours helping me. You'd get the best out of her if you participate in her class. And her recorded lessons were well organized. Easy to understand. Overall I enjoyed my experience with her.

Doing the homework is essential to learning. you can go over the problems with her during her office hours. She takes the time to make sure everyone understands. Participation in class matters.

This class is crazy hard but shes is very extremely helpful and has unlimited office hours let you retake tests. Shes great. Its a sync learning which sucks and test are irl but its better than failing.

Professor Nordstrom is the best professor that I have ever taken at PCC. She is so caring and accessible. There is a lot of homework, but her exams are very similar to the homework and if you struggle, she will always try her best to help you. If you want to do well, go to her office hours and ask questions. I would absolutely take her again.

Fantastic educator. I learned so much in this class. Prof. Nordstrom expects you to work hard, but in turn offers a ton of individual support. When I went to office hours for help, I always found a teacher who was patient, supportive and interested in students not only learning calculus, but also why it is important and beautiful. Highly recommend.

Ms. Dona is a perfect professor for those who want to learn and understand math. Dont expect an easy A, however you put in work, she will help you to acchive it! She is always reply email with a crazy speed, extend home work deadline, extra credit on test, also some test allowed cheat sheet, but really strict on math notation. Believe in yourself !

Professor Nordstrom is so nice; this course REQUIRES the TI-84; if you don't have you will struggle. The course was paced well, exams are weighted heavily, and she's willing to go above and beyond in helping you if you are willing to do the same. This course was challenging but not difficult, put in the work and ask questions.

Professor Nordstrom is the most caring professor I have had. Very accessible outside of class and is always willing to explain everything. She definitely wants you to learn. Take her!

Dr. Donna Nordstrom expresses profound enthusiasm for teaching her students. She genuinely cares about all her students. Math005a is a challenging course that requires consistent practice and application. Attend office hours because it provides a necessary advantage for students struggling with fundamentals and specific concepts.

Prof. Nordstrom truly cares about students doing well. If you fail a test you can retake it. Patient and helpful during office hours. Recommend her class if you're willing to put in the effort to learn and do homework. Do not recommend if you plan to coast through with a C: when students are lazy she takes it personally, can be hard to watch.

Prof. Nordstrom was an amazing teacher! Calc is a hard subject but she did a really good job teaching us. She truly cares about her students doing well and is a very kind professor. If you need help, be sure to go to her office hours, they are very helpful.

Professor Nordstrom cares about her students. I previously took AP Calc before so her course was not that hard. Her lecture videos were really helpful.

Good professor, this class might be "diffcult" because it might be your first college math class. There's quite amount of work you need to put in this class. If you study hard enough, you can get a A. And be ready to learn on how to learn.

Professor Nordstrom is a caring instructor who wants her students to succeed. The coursework is challenging, but going to office hours and using resources like unstuck study can really help. Overall, a rewarding class if you put in the effort.

Professor Nordstrom is incredible. She smiles all the time. She even puts smiley faces when making announcements. I always feel warm and welcomed when I meet her.

I took this class with STAT065 so we were working on the stats using Python. Professor Nordstrom cared about our grade and made sure we understood all the material so we were learning at the students' pace in the beginning, but we got very behind so towards the end of the semester, everything was fast paced and a bit stressful.

Hwk is difficult and many of her exams are from hwk questions. If the hwk question is SUPER SUPER hard it won't be on the test. U can drop a quiz and retake an exam. There 4 exams & hella quizzes. Nordstrom is an overall nice person. I think if u really care about ur grades and GPA, her class is not bad. I would say jst do ur hwk and ask questions.
