She's very friendly and will try to help as much as she can. Her teaching skill isn't excellent, but she makes up for it in willingness to help you understand. My tip is just to try your best from start to finish, and you should get an A. I got a B- because I went in not caring, but eventually she got me focused on doing good.

Dr. Hammer is an amazing teacher. People who do not get how to teach math may fault her, because she does not lecture at you for two hours. Though, this is not how people learn math and should not be how it is taught. Math is learned by doing and that is what Dr. Hammer lets you do. Though, she does examples and is good at explaining the material.

Hammer makes learning subjects very easy and is very forgiving for homework and quizzes. You essentially get two attempts to 'master' a quiz (once per week for two weeks), and then one last chance on the final. The final is over any area that you did not 'master' during your two attempts. Hammer cares a lot about student success. Great overall.

I've never loved math, but Hammer makes it easy & knows how to break down each topic into something manageable. Pre-class assignments are intros to the week's topic, which then builds through group activities and other HW through the week. The checkpoints are super helpful & focus is on concepts, not memorization.

Professor Hammer is extremely nice and easily accessible outside the classroom. You'll have three attempts on checkpoints and then one more attempt on the finals day. You can use Desmos on almost all checkpoints. You also have a take home final which is separated into three parts all open note. She does move quickly sometimes though lectures.

Ms Hammer is a rude person. If you want to not learn anything, take her. Waste of my money and time. Run!

My whole life, I have struggled in math (specifically algebra). Professor Hammer's unique class approach (S, G, and N grade) for mini quizzes and exams was fantastic. I actually learned from her class a lot. Participation matters, and you have to show up to pass. She teaches great. Take her if you struggle in math.

Professor Hammer is by far the best professor I have ever had. She really cares about her students and makes this class very easy to understand. If you show up you will have no problem getting a great grade. She does concept checks instead of tests and allows retakes.

I had professor Hammer for both semesters, MTH 108 and 109, she honestly made learning so much easier and the homework wasn't a lot at all. She projects her voice and class might seem slow sometimes but it honestly helps with getting a higher grade.

Mrs.Hammer is nice, but she overly projects her voice, I feel like I'm being yelled at all the time! THIS CLASS IS VERY GROUP-WORK-HEAVY! Her grading scale consists only of N or S. There is no such thing as partial credit in her class. Personally, I hated this class as it did not reflect my learning style, I also didn't like switching seats daily.

Professor Hammer is one of the best math teachers/professors I have ever had. I have always struggled a lot with math, but the way she taught made so much sense I felt smart for once in a math class. She cares a lot about her students and is overall an amazing teacher.

Professor Hammer is a great professor I would definitely recommend her. only negative is that she makes you do lots of group work but other than that she's great!

mth 109. Explains in a lot of detail which is very helpful, and the pacing of the class isn't too rushed or too slow. Don't get on her bad side or she'll call you out lol.

Prof was VERY confusing and made everything look hard. She went way too fast and made you look stupid if you didnt know what you were doing. Would always call you out if you are never there. Also it was always group work. She grades with S/N
