Very helpful teacher. She realizes not everyone is good at math and will work with you to get you to understand.
I remember having her teach me years ago! She makes math easy, would you believe. If you show up and do your homework (and talk to her if you need help), expect an A. It's that simple.
AMAZING! i went into a summer course of intermediate algebra HATING math, and came out of there almost actually LIKING it!!!! i highly recommend Mrs. Bishop to anyone who actually wants to learn math without dying mentally!
it's a hard class, but she goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone understands. it's especially nice for women who may not have always had success in math to see her being excited about algebra.
Awesome teacher. Very clear and wants to make sure everything is clear and understandable. A++
She is a really good teacher. I have never gotten an A in any math class and i got one in her class. I totally recommend her. She is very helpful and her teahcing skills are outstanding
if you watch her closly she does some funny things. as a teacher i wasn't influenced to try harder. and with a tutor i still didn't do as well as i hoped. shes one of the better ones though.

Very clear lectures. It's obvious she loves what she does, which is fun to watch. Cares about her students, is available before class, and helpful during office hours. Great website! I like being able to check my grades. Gets exams back the next class! If you do your homework,ask questions during class and participate, you'll do well.
BEST PROFESSOR AT MPC. I absolutely cannot believe that I enjoy math. She gave me an enormous amount of confidence. If I can do well in her classes, I can do well in all the others. She enjoys teaching and it shows. And the guys go class just to look at her!
In high school, I failed Pre-Cal. I never thought I'd do well in a math class, until Ms. Bishop. She explains things clearly, and is willing to review. Her enthusiasm makes the class pleasant. I got an A in her class, and was able to move past general studies requirements and live out my dream of forgetting all the math I've ever learned.
Helpful, nice; I'd be glad to recommend her as a teacher.
Excellent instructor! Very clear in class, fair exams. Prepared me well for calculus. Highly recommended.
Clear, concise, fun, and good looking. Take Bishop for any math class.
Great teacher.
She's a wonderful teacher! I enjoy math and she was one of the clearest teacher's I've had. I highly recommend her for a math teacher...great lady.
Great Teacher! Highly Recommended...
awesome teacher! shes easy to understand and really helpful. she kept my attention most of the time, which is usually hard for math to do :)
UNFAIR. She hates having to refresh people's memory on concepts that haven't been talked about in 10 years. She is unclear and hard. She doesn't like to help students. She likes to kick you out of her office as soon as possible.
Most positive math expeirence I have ever had. Mrs. Bishop provides great class instruction with the benifits of SSI gives any student the opportunity to succeed in a math setting. I would definately recommend Mrs. Bishop to any student who needs to take math 263.
I was never good at math and was totally dreading this class, but I needed it to transfer. It really turned out to be my favorite class this semester. She is an awesome instructor, always willing to help you out with anything. Great energy, and well worth taking!
Unless you are a math whiz, run from the summer version of this class. Rushes through the material, rehashing the unclear explanations provided by the book, then chooses the absolute hardest problems for the tests. Completely demoralizing.
Expected her to be great from the reviews, but she was terrible. Teaching was unclear and full of jargon, chose the absolute most difficult test problems, wasted hours on useless stuff, like proofs, but skipped most of polar coordinates, which are needed for calculus. Piled on homework, but couldn't be bothered to correct it. Big disappointment.
I really enjoyed her Precalculus class this summer. She was always helpful before and after class when I needed help. Her test were hard, but I thought they were fair. I would strongly recomend her!
I loved her class. It was awesome to have a great math teacher after 4 years of terrible ones. She was very clear about what would be on the test. I felt sorry though for people who aren't good at taking tests since that's all the grade was based on.
Great teacher!
THE TEST WAS FAIR, don't even listen to the other reviews, test wasn't even hard. In fact, the test questions are based on your homework, Mrs.Bishop just switched some numbers around or sometimes it's exactly the same homework problem. I guess some people didn't do their homework. I aced with mostly A's and B's on the test, and I'm not a math whiz!
Ms. Bishop's class was interesting. Her tests where not very difficult at all. The only complaint I would have about her is that she rushed through all the material and seemed annoyed when asked questions.
She's an amazing teacher and really willing to work with you. Mrs. Bishop is knowledgeable and she enjoys teaching. She has a great sense of humor as well. I totally recommend her classes!
I only recommend this instructor to those who completely "get" algebra, need no remediation or concept review. She has no time between classes and rushes through class. She is very condescending and handles questions poorly. NOT recommended for older, returning students who have difficulty grasping Alg. concepts. She teaches "patterned learning."
witty and enthusiastic
As a reentry student in 1995, I dreaded taking math, as I had proven muslef a math moron in previous attempts. I took 261,263,&Precalc from Ms Bishop,& not only got A's in each class, but got an A in Calc. All due to her thorough, patient, and compassionate teaching methods. She is a gifted instructor. I have her to thank for my love of Math.
She's a challenging teacher with high expectations. There's no room for falling behind, so don't make this mistake. I did, then had to drop and take it again so I spent a year on Int. Algebra. I had this class online and loved the format - the tools in the software were GREAT! Sign up for the online class, then attend her lectures if you have time.
She is nice as a person. But, she is does not have a lot of patience. She rushes through the material because she says that she has to cover all the book. If you are a math wiz, take her class.
Great teacher for someone who struggled with algebra years ago. Brushing up on basic math before taking class helps. She does not reteach middle school math. You must attend class, do ALL homework, and ask questions. You'll work hard, but tests are fair. She is upbeat and nice. Highly recommend.
Elizabeth gave me the tools and confidence to master the math language. She to me is the epitomy of what a teacher of her calibre should embrace. I no longer have math anxiety. If you struggle with Math she will teach you the correct method to understanding this difficult subject. She deserves the apple award for teacher of the millenium! Thank you
She is a great teacher!
Elizabeth was so helpful! I have always struggled with math, especially algebra but the way she explained things they just made sense. I highly recommend her! It is the first "A" I have ever gotten in an algebra class and it wasn't easy but with her help it was achievable!
I love math, but there isn't enough space to express my full disdain for this teacher. I will try to be concise with an analogy: She is like a guitar teacher that shows you a chord, jams out for a while and then expects you to understand what just happened and recreate, even though you haven't even touched the guitar yet.
Before I took her i failed out of two math classes...she is awesome! Doesn't make you fell stupid for asking questions, always willing to clarify and really seems to enjoy her students. I recommend her class to everyone!!
Great gal, terrible teacher.
Great Teacher! I recommend her if your struggling in math. she is patient and know how to explain things clearly
Mrs. Bishop is realy good at doing math and she is very helpful.
Mrs. Bishop....AWESOME!!! So helpful, patient, supportive, pretty, gracious..did I say pretty? I had Math 263 online and she made it work for us busy students. Thanks Liz!!
The online class was actually very draining; the amount of work due each week was insane, even more than the physics and chem classes that I've taken. Hours and hours worth of homework, WAY more than you would have in an in-person class. Prof. Bishop is helpful and upbeat, but the workload is too much.
Dropped this course multiple times, but Elizabeth Bishop has helped me to achieve an "A" in class. Fantastic instructor! Grade is based on 5 exams (lowest grade dropped) and the final. I cannot say enough great thins about her!
Elizabeth is the ultimate teacher. Beautiful, intelligent and caring, with an amazing way of making the subject interesting and approachable. If you take good notes, you will need the book only for the homework problems. You need to do them, but she is available and willing to help you suceed. She gets an A+!
Very fair teacher. Teaches the book. Read ahead and you will be prepared. Tests were fair, some right from the h.w. Told us we didn't have to do the homework, but told us we wouldn't pass the course unless we did. Available after class and during office hours to help you. Never made me feel "like a dummy" for asking questions.
I have had 3 semesters with her, she is the best teacher I have EVER had. She got me to understand things I have never been able to. Take her, she is a really helpful and straight forward professor!
I took this class online after taking 263 online- big mistake! This class was very difficult and I felt that the homework wasn't repetitive enough for the material to be absorbed (even though it is the same online class) overall the class was ok, but I would suggest taking it in person.
Not an easy class to take online, but Elizabeth was available and quick to assist where she could. As the chair of the Math Dept at our school, she naturally has high standards and it shows in her teaching style. Tests were easier than course material and quizzes and there were always bonus questions at the end. Good experience overall.
No doubt this teacher will make you a better math student. Somehow she presents all the new material in way that isn't "too bad." I mean, yea.. it's math, so it's going to suck at times. But Mrs. Bishop is always helping and will slow down for you to ask questions. Wonderful teacher. Her enthusiasm for math really shines in the classroom.
Great Teacher! Really made everything easy to understand. I was never good at math but I actually enjoy this class. Do the homework and you can get at least a B in the class. The tests cover exactly what is taught and what you practice in the homework. Fast response to questions and she loves Math!
BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER.
shes a great teacher gives you the easiest way to understand the chapter and section very little homework its daily but not many problems shes very helpful and hot!
Great instructor. Very clear, easy to understand. Very helpful. I wish I could have had her for every math class ever, I'd probably have done better.
Elizabeth was sent by the Math gods to save all of us who were panicked by it. Elizabeth is a truely gifted teacher who made me understand math for the first time. Her methods are unlike any math class I have been in which may explain why I found success with her.
She's a great teacher but I think she could make her lectures more exciting I have fallen asleep in her class almost everyday but i still seen to learn in my sleep so she's an amazing teacher
took her for 363 and precalculus , shes great!!! i hate math but she made it bearable. take her she will definately make u a better math student!! love ms bishop !!!!
Elizabeth Bishop is a great instructor. When I need guidance she was always quick to respond. I took this class online and it was an enormous amount of work. I would highly suggest taking this class in person. This was the hardest class I have ever taken online. Too much work!
I've taken pre-algebra and inter algebra with Bishop and she is GREAT! She stays on topic and makes sure everyone is on track and understands material before moving on. I would definitely recommend her! She does give out homework usually everyday but it isn't much. Practice test are just like the real thing. Easy if you keep up!
She is a great teacher. I took her course online. I would recommend her to people who are use to online courses and willing to do the work. She is great though! The math can be hard.
She's so helpful and approachable. If I could have her as a math teacher for every math class I have to take I would!
I don't really remember a whole lot from the class as I was under a hydrocodone because of surgery, but I remember her being very understanding and there when I needed her. Thanks for helping me get through a VERY tough class for me.
Best teacher I ever had, of any subject. Clear, organized, structured, and enthusiastic about students actually learning material instead of rote memorizing.
She is an amazing teacher and is patient and explains extremely well
A lady who has good spirit, communicates clearly, and always takes the time to answer ALL of the math related question you may have. For you future Engineer students; pay attention, the "Wheel of Knowledge" is your friend. I have had the opportunity to apply these math principles from Trig and Calculus, plus Geometry, it makes your future fun!
Bishop is one amazing instructor hands down the best math instructor I have ever had in my life there for students lectures are easy to follow I highly recommend taking her classes she will make math fun and easy like 2+2 if you have questions about the homework she will answer them will definitely take any math class you need with her!!!!
The kindest, most genuinely human instructor I've ever seen. She is strongly invested in her students' welfare and it shows. I wish she taught calculus too since that's what I have to do next.
Bishop is a very kind, patient, and organized professor. Her lectures are easy to follow, and she makes sure that all questions are answered. She is clear on what she wants/expects from her students. Overall a wonderful teacher, and a great person :)
Online SUMMER class A LOT of work, but if you stay on track with your given calendar you will be good. If you can work ahead of schedule, highly recommend, very easy to fall behind. If struggling in any area, professor will have times to meet with you.
Mrs Bishop is the queen of math. She is a great teacher! Highly recommend her if you want to understand the concepts behind math. Very easy to learn from. Very clear teaching methods.
Great math teacher! Took the online course & it is a lot of work so it is good to stay ahead.. Exams are almost exactly like the practice ones. Lets you use calculator and note card on exams! Very nice and pretty. Gives extra credit if you post on the discussion board, and on tests! Highly recommend taking her. She is very helpful if you need it.
Very nice professor. Very understanding as well. If you ever need help, do not hesitate to ask her. I fell behind because of personal issues and she was very understanding and gave me an extension to finish my hw for that week. Make sure to not procrastinate if taking online and you will do fine.
I always thought I was horrible at math, Mrs. Bishop showed me otherwise. She is always there to help, no question is a dumb question. She cares about her students and want us all to succeed. She offers a bonus 5 point question on tests which can greatly help. Take her she makes math easy.
If you need to take math and pass this is the teacher you want. By far the best math teacher I've had at mpc. Homework is all online and exams are basically the study practice questions. Very understanding, nice and a wonderful teacher. Do yourself a favor and take her!!!!!
Absolutely the best teacher/professor I have ever had. In high school I failed precalculus and went into this semester with low expectations for myself. She taught me that I am not actually bad at math. She is kind, caring, takes time out of her own to stay after class and help. Does excellent explanations very quickly, and makes an 8AM class fun.
This woman is amazing. I keep failing math, so I took it over the summer in hopes that I could pass. She checks in, makes everything accessible, and best part? One of her exam times for most of the exams wasn't used for the final, which didn't work, so she's having me take it with her husband on Saturday! (Student at another school)
This was my first course taken online and boy am I grateful she was the instructor. She responds within minutes of any questions, and goes into such great length to explain. You can tell she has great passion to see her students achieve. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Mrs Bishop makes math so easy!! The online homework assignments makes it easy to understand whats going on. Does assign quite a lot of homework due Sunday nights but its not hard at all; just time consuming. Will definitely take her class again if I have to.
Very helpful, and gives you a break on grading. The class is very work heavy however.
Being my first class on campus, I loved her! super good at explaining and patient. Easy homework and not big loads. I like the Pearson she uses as well because you can learn at your own pace. Tests are simple just to test the skills. No hard numbers.
Best teacher ever!
I wish she taught the next courses I take!! She made the class a breeze being my first class on campus. I highly recommend. The homework is easy and the tests in class have easy numbers, she only tests you on the skill.
BEST PRECALCULUS TEACHER
Love her! Very clear expectations, she's organized and knows what she's talking about. I wish she taught calculus!
She's an easy going teacher, I think she understood that I understood the material well enough so she didn't bother me if I wasn't paying attention or sleeping in class. I started skipping class half way through the semester because I didn't want to be disrespectful and sleep in her class. Very easy has extra credit for those who show up.
I had Professor Bishop for 263 and Precalculus and she is by far the best instructor Ive ever had. She explains things clearly and her tests are formatted exactly like the guided reviews. She is always available for extra help and basically the nicest lady youll ever meet. If you apply yourself in her class, shell go out of her way to help you
As a person who wasn't confident about math, she was really able to explain it to me and I did very well in her class. A downside for other people might be that the homework is done online but most pre-cal class are doing it now. She was always there for office hours and allowed you to ask questions during the lessons.
I loved her class. It was an online class, but the way the homework and quizzes were it was excellent, I wish she thought my next math class online as well, but she doesn't have it. Easy A if you do the work. She is an outstanding teacher and communication-wise she is one on one. she always gets back to you quickest
Ms. Bishop is a great teacher. I've had difficulties with Math my whole life, and exams stress me out. She does reviews the day before the exam which really helps you pass. She is sweet and understanding.
She made my first online course and my first MPC course a great experience!
One of the best online classes I have taken! All though there is no weekly zoom calls we are required to attend, she has 2 pre recorded ones every week. There is good prep for the tests and she will any questions. It is encouraged to ask each other questions and help others and we get extra credit for it, great class!
Her class is well structured. We did not use the textbook but it was provided online through the homework system she used. You have to purchase an access code but its well worth the money considering you actually use it. Her tests come with excellent feedback and you get points for trying! Would absolutely recommend her shes an awesome teacher!
I took Bishop's math 263 online course during Spring, it was pretty straightforward and an easy pass if you do the work and truly understand it. The only thing I did not like about the class was that the tests were not multiple choice and you have to show your work in order to get credit. Tests were also proctored through Proctorio.
Shes very good with helping you understand any and all questions that you may have, and is very understanding of your schedule and technology issues. And does give heads up of things that you will need to know for future parts of this class, and also other classes that she teaches.
One of the best professors you can ever meet. Super caring. Super smart. Super helpful. Makes me want to major in math because of how awesome she is.
she is one of the best professors I have ever had. I wish that she thought more of higher classes of math as well.
Professor Bishop is a good teacher and a very nice person. She will help you any way she can. For the class I took, precalculus, the material itself isn't too hard, but there is just a lot of stuff to go over and it can be overwhelming at times. If you feel like you didn't understand anything in class, she has all lectures posted online.
The best math teacher I have EVER had! Elizabeth explains everything step by step! I am horrible at math but she made me really want to learn! She really cares. Take advantage of the math lab and if you forget info like me, use the notes she provides to the class. They really helped. She's very sweet and I cannot express how good she is!
Very kind
The professor was very helpful and insightful. The only issue I had was that about half of the exams questions were questions that we barely practiced, which ended up getting me very bad grades on the exams.
She's really the best in the math department. Really nice and cares about the students. Probably one of my most favorite teachers I've ever had. Thank you Mrs. Bishop for being so warm and helping us all.
She is the best teacher ever I had, I learn a lot from her, she supports you, helps you and motivates you. she teaches 3 days a week that's why it helps you a lot. she does anything to help you pass this class.
Prof. Bishop was amazing! LOTS of homework but it pays off. I am awful at math and was always last to leave for the exams, but she really helped get the material through my head. Very fast paced but she goes over many examples crucial for the hw and exams. The hw and examples are pulled from the textbook so you know what to expect on exams. Love!
Professor Bishop is ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING PROFESSOR EVER! She does everything possible to help you be successful in class. She provides not only personal help, but many resources to help you learn and to support you. Responds very quickly to emails and is very approachable. She is also very motivating, encouraging and understanding.Choose her
Professor Bishop is amazing! Lots of homework, but it pays off. She explains concepts clearly and provides helpful resources like recorded lectures. unstuck study was a game-changer for my test prep. Highly recommend this class!
First online class taken and Prof Bishop was great. Good feedback and she was very clear about assignments which made the class easier. Clearly cares about student success.
Mrs. Bishop was amazing! I was volunteering at a hospital with a very strict schedule during the same time as the Monday exams but she was very considerate of my situation and flexible. Since it was an online course and I wasn't able to go to the tutoring at the Math center, I emailed her many questions and she replied quickly and gave great help.
Elizabeth is the greatest professor of all time. she's the greatest professor to ever walk this planet. If she stepped onto another planet, he'd instantly become the greatest professor on that planet. 10/10.
