Liz Fleck is a disaster. Dont wast your time or money taking college algebra with her because she simply wastes your class period with quirky jokes and expects you to complete 80+ problems a night, watch multiple hour long videos failing to explain stuff and giving exams having nothing to do with any of the work you do for the chapter.

I have no idea what todo at this point. I get really good practice on mymathlab. Zoom her on weekends to clarify stuff. I put SO MUCH work and effort into the class yet the tests look absolutely nothing like homework. Every body got an F. Great as a person HORRIBLE as a teacher. I have no idea what todo at this.

Horrible communicator. Tried communicating that there are no due dates on the syllabus so I assumed as long as they're in before tests then it's fine ( you can also retake them) but kicked me out instead. ( Don't assume) and said look at syllabus ( the reason we're here.) homework every single day. Terrible lessons. (Math0094 not noted above)

I don't even know where to begin! Do not take this professor! I never ever had trouble with math! With this class no matter how confident you are in your homework and review. The test will challenge you!Her tests are not meant to test you but to Challenge you. Never seen anything like it. If ALL students FAILED a test who has the problem?! Warning

I have always been an A student until this class. Fleck is a very kind person, but a terrible teacher. In class lectures are pointless- she wastes time talking and only gets through half a section at most. If you take this class, you will be teaching yourself. She takes forever to grade tests and to respond to emails. Tests are nothing like the hw.

Fleck's heart is in a good place and wants everyone to succeed. However, she is a terrible professor. She assigns boatloads of homework each week (150+ problems). She is very disorganized. She does not follow the schedule in her syllabus. She often has uncovered material in the chapter tests. Overall, for the sake of your wallet and gradesdont tak

Nice person, terrible professor! She graded an exam,feedback was "very bad math" instead of explaining. She gives certain people points but not others. She'll call u out if you don't have right calculator. Cancels class a lot and expects you to learn on your own. Not a lot of points in the class, end of semester & there is only 60 pts for semester

Literally such a horrible teacher, please do not take her class! When i had covid she took me out of the course because i was absent, even though she responded to my email telling her i had covid. You do about 3+ hours of HW a night and still have no idea what is happening on the test. When i asked for help i was told to study more

Liz is hilarious albeit very off-topic sometimes. She canceled class a lot when we really needed help. This is a hard class if you are not very good at math. The only reason I passed was that she curved the tests and final grades. Great teacher but be ready to work. Very fair. If you work hard you will be fine.

She means well, but she just isn't the best professor. Lectures were basically nonexistent, but what was given were too easy in comparison to the tests. The online homework was also incredibly easy compared to the tests, making the course incredibly hard to pass as exam grades weigh HEAVY. I'm unsure if attendance was mandatory.

This class was terrible! I have never gotten under a B in any classes and I failed this class! Liz literally never gives lectures, she gives at least 3+ hours of homework every night and her lectures are doing one example that the students come up with. She consistently was late for class or canceled at least once a week. DON'T RECOMMEND!

I've never had an issue with math, but this class made my health plummet. Fleck didn't show up for lecture many times and consistently forgot to cover topics within units. She forgot/called in sick whenever I had scheduled work make-up sessions. Tests are insanely difficult compared to the homework (which takes 3+ hours/topic). Wouldn't recommend.

Fleck is generally kind, but doesn't teach well (gets distracted, misses class, assigns excessive amounts of hw, etc...). She acts nice, but now I'm thinking it's a cover up. After I left lecture, I saw her talking to a classmate, and she was being cold and dismissive. Not sure what the context was, but is she always like this outside of class?

I personally have MANY issues with Fleck. She assigns lots of homework, covers little in lectures, and misses class often, and trails off. My main issue is her tests: There isn't enough time to take them! Each problem can take around 7-10 minutes to solve, and there's 12 questions every test. But 60 minutes is all we get! I didn't get halfway done!

One on one, she'll answer your questions and is pretty kind. In class and online? Prison warden. She will publicly flog you in front of your peers for low homework grades. Speaking of, the assignments are arduous. She loves to change up the homework and syllabus constantly. I lost hair and sleep over this class. I also lost my 4.0. Save yourselves.

Ms Elizabeth Fleck is a Professor that should be finally removed from the RCTC Roster. Her lectures cover the bare minimum of the chapter/lesson that is covered for the session that we're in. This class with her is a class that is guaranteed to be a full time job. If you are a full time job and full time student (80hrs/wk), DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!

Great person, horrible professor. For the online class, you basically teach yourself because her lectures are about 15% informational and 85% of her rambling off topic. Half the time, she just posts an announcement that she isn't available for weeks. Flat out she just can't teach. She's a great person, but she's hurting students more by "teaching".

Disappeared randomly for weeks on end. Checks her email once a month if your lucky. Basically a teach yourself course and random and unpredictable schedule. Got a test graded back 2 months later because I bugged her constantly.
