She is very helpful in lecture and with any homework help. I would strongly recomend taking her class. She explains concepts very clear and makes it easy to understand.

She is friendly and is more than willing to help. She responds to emails fast and is pretty fair. Her lectures are clear, but we usually waisted a lot of time talking about things that didn't pertain to math. Her tests are hard! I usually spent more than 2 hrs at the Testing Center. She grades critically. So a great effort needs to be put in.

BEST MATH TEACHER AT ASU!!! I had her for two semesters of math and I loved every minute of it!!! She is by far the nicest person and the best teacher- always willing to help students and such a down to earth woman!! LOVE HER!

Jones is a great teacher that is really helpful and good at explaining concepts. The class itself is incredibly easy!!! She goes over any questions about the homework the morning that it is due so that it is pretty much impossible to get any homework problems incorrect. Tests are easy. Good class to get your math credit over with.

She is an amazing teacher! The class was so easy and she is very helpful. She makes the material very understandable and the test are really easy!

This class is EXTREMELY easy. It is pretty much impossible not to get an A in this class if you are trying. Mrs. Jones is very nice, very approachable, and overall very helpful. I recommend not opening the book until you see if you need it or not. I didn't use the book at all, but I opened it and now I can't return it.

Good teacher and VERY helpful. The homework is the most important thing, its worth a lot, and if you understand it, then you will ace the test. If you need 142 credit, take it with her. I 'suck' at Math and got an A.

Very helpful and understanding. Will email you back if you have questions on the homework or about class in general.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I am an honors student and my major map requires me to take one math class. She belittles students with comments like, "Well, I wouldn't expect you guys to read the instructions" and "Well, I mean, my KIDS are doing this type of math..." Yes, easy class, yes, easy credit, but her personality is so abrasive.

Very helpful, and by far one of the best math teachers I've had. She's very interactive with the class. Tests and homework were a breeze, just look at your class notes and theres guaranteed to be an example just like it in there. Didn't open the book once. She was very helpful in and out of class. Overall it was a easy class and learned a lot in it

Awesome teacher! I would take another one of her classes any day! Don't buy the book, you will never open it.. Homework is online and if you have any problems she will help you out, no question.

ONE OF THE BEST MATH TEACHERS IVE HAD!! her teaching methods are easy to follow, she takes attendance and only allows u to miss 5 classes, she RECORDS every class period! so you can go on youtube and watch em. some people didnt use the book but i did. keep up with webwork n you'll pass. test are easy to follow. GOOD CLASS TO TAKE!!

AMAZING teacher! I suck at Math and this class was a breeze because of her. Homework is online, she will help you anytime, very accessible. Quizzes are in class but open note. Tests aren't too bad either. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better Math class. Beth is a fantastic teacher!

This class is a cakewalk. take it.

I have dr. jones right now and i've gotta say this is the best math experience i've ever had. this is one of those few teachers that really want you to succeed, dr. jones if your reading this YOU ROCK!!

I truly admire Dr. Jones-- she works so hard for her students success and answers emails so fast it's unreal. She is so dedicated and I am loving my math experience with her. She is not out to trick or fail you, put in the work and you will get a positive outcome. :)

Beth Jones is by far the BEST math teacher I have every had in my life. She is such a sweetheart and really cares about her students. Homework is online and she replies to your emailed questions crazy fast. Quizzes and tests are simple. I would recommend her to ANYONE!

Extremely helpful, good lecturer. Best math teacher I've ever had! Covers a lot of material in a short time. Very fair system of grading and keeping up with homework is key.

Took precalc as an easy review to satisfy my math req. She's so dedicated & helpful, answers all email/questions and her website is amazing! Don't forget to do the online homework. DON'T buy the book. She does tend to assume students haven't heard the info before--which can come off as patronizing--but it's no big deal. I really liked the class.

Dr. Jones is glued to her computer when not in class, that's the only way she can respond to emails so fast! She answers any question quickly and is willing to clarify!! Awesome teacher, consider the subject matter sucks.

She is a great teacher, her teaching style significantly aids those who struggle because she rarely does more than 4 or 5 examples during class so she can help everyone get through all of the steps. She is possibly the most helpful teacher ive ever had and is very welcoming during office hours and will spend all the time needed to clarify things

I am math retarded and have not taken a math class in 6 years, but Prof. Jones helped me every step of the way. I never would have believed anyone who told me that I would be getting a B in a college level math class. GO TO OFFICE HOURS. She makes herself available and this made all the difference for me. She WANTS you to do well, trust me.

She is such a nice person. The class structure is, you do the math hw online when you need to take a quiz you attend class, then she gives you a pass to take the exam if you feel ready. She has deadlnes for when the assignments are due. Really helpful if you attend the class as well as her office hours.. Recommend her if you want an easy grade

I suck at math point blank but after taking her class i actually enjoy it... no lie! I took this class with another prof. &had to drop it. This class was made for math dummies like me all her lectures R online videos so you can look back on them, in class you just work on hw and she helps you with it.if i got an A anyone can. oh and no text book!!

Love her - best style of teaching math I've ever had! Was a B math student in high school and got an A in this class. It would be hard to get lower than a B. She is awesome! This is the perfect class for someone who has to fulfill their math requirement but does not like math.

This was the easiest class ever! Professor Jones made everything really clear and her grading is really fair too. At the end of the semester she drops your lowest quiz score and your two lowest homework scores. Definitely recommended.

I'm an idiot in math and I passed this class. You have to be self-motivated to pass though. All lectures and homework assignments are online. During class time, (which is mandatory), she annoyingly tells personal stories the whole time... responds to emails quick.. all quizzes are in a group.. tests are somewhat difficult. I'd recommend her though!

Best math class ever. You watch the lectures online before class, do your hw in class and ask her or her TA any questions then. Everything is online. You can watch the videos as many times as you need to until you understand the material which is awesome. You have to take exams in the testing center at odd times. Do the work, easy A.

Take this class if you just need to get MAT 142 out of the way! Quizzed are in groups, tests are 10 questions (usually from the homework) homework is online and you get about 4 days to do each assignment. You do have to watch videos before coming to class, i suggest taking notes but class is only for homework - once you finish it, you can leave!

Jones is the best math instructor at ASU. This class is an easy A. If you view the videos and complete the homework assignments you should get an A on the exams. The way she explains the concepts in MAT 142 seems so elementary. Highly recommended

I like this professor very much. She teaches very clearly and she is good at answering any questions. Have to go to class because you must scan in. Homework is online and very easy plus there is written work like once a week at the most two problems. The tests are easy as well. Highly recommended!

just ask questions for clarification. She's so sweet, but can often go off on tangents. Seriously though, ask questions - she will help.

I took this class online, the layout of the course is well done. Takes a little work but you should be able to do well no problem.

The online system is setup to help you through the class, the video's work well. It's math so it takes effort, but if you try you will pass.

She is such a goofy, kind teacher. Most of the class is online, but she is extremely helpful and truly cares about her students.

She was a lot like my high school math teachers, which was helpful for me. Class is very easy and just like HS math until you get to the last 2 sections which are loans/mortgage calculations--that stuff is hard. She won't call on you for answers or anything like that. If you put in a good effort, you should pass just fine!

Only saw her twice for the two in-person exams, but she seemed like a nice lady. Always answered my emails extremely quickly. Homework assignments/quizzes were due every MWF. Got to use a cheat sheet on the final. Great option if you are okay with taking online classes, especially with a tricky subject like math.

The class itself is useless, but Jones makes it bearable. If you approach her with any questions regarding content, she will always try her best to help. If you refuse to seek help, you won't get it.

Professor Jones was very responsive and made sure I was aware of every deadline with helpful e-mails. Definitely a great instructor.

No textbook, super easy, and Jones totally understands that if you take MAT 142, you're not a math fan. Finish the class online and pass all the tests and you never have to come back.

She is the head of the math department. She sometimes seems stressed because of it; however, she is a nice lady, though humorously sarcastic. Cannot miss more than 4 classes or you will be dropped from the course, all of the math courses have this requirement however. Its not too difficult. Easy B course.

Jones is an irrelevant professor, but not needed for the course. It's entirely online, class meetings are seriously useless. If you do the online work and pass the tests (also online, in the testing center), you can get whatever grade you want. You can also finish the class at your own pace, some people finished in two months.

You seriously do not need her but she is so sweet and really helpful if you go into her office hours.

This class is a hybrid, and if you're at least decent at math, you can finish way ahead of time and she'll let you stop coming to class. Basically a "teach yourself" class, but it's easy to get help if you're having trouble. You can fail all the unit tests and still pass the class if you show up and complete what she assigns on time.

Jones is an awesome professor. She is funny and helpful. The class is hybrid and they definitely to work on the online part of it because the videos are so difficult to understand, but Jones will help you if you don't understand.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY. This class is basically all online and you can do it at your own pace though there are some deadlines. It is not the hardest math class if math isn't your strong suit, so I would definitely choose this class. The professor and TA's are more than willing to sit down and help you out if you are having any trouble.

I am a student who really struggles with math. This professor was beyond helpful! I am so thankful to her and her help this semester. She is very understanding and if you ever have a question just email her and she is willing to help. I highly recommend this class! I took the 7 week online session.

Professor Jones is really helpful and always there for you. The class itself was basically like an online class. The math system works online, so during class you work on that as you can ask for help or have any questions. It's long, and sometimes dreadful but what math class isn't. If you study, show up, and work hard you should get an A.

So happy I chose this math class! She is a great professor and an easy class. Most work is online and you can work ahead as far as you want. You could finish the class in a month if you worked hard enough. In class work every Thursday and you get homework time every Tuesday. If you can do the homework, you can pass the tests.

I'm horrible at math and I didn't hate Professor Jones's class as much as I expected to. I didn't score over a 70 on any of the tests, but still managed to pass by getting 100% on the homework and showing up for the problem solving on Thursdays. Work ahead! She mentioned on the first day that some people have finished in 3 weeks. I'd recommend her.

College algebra was pretty easy. There are 5 units, 5 exams, and it's all available from the beginning of the semester. If you wanted to, you could finish the class as early as you want to. Personally, I finished a month before the class ended. If you happen to do this, just email her and she'll let you know when you can stop going to class.

Just do your work on time, do the problem sets in class, and ask questions and you can pass pretty easily.

Professor Jones and her assistants are amazingly helpful. I suck at math, but I passed this class with a B. There are 5 tests total, 3 are proctored via on campus or proctor U. There is also piazza where all students go to ask questions and ask for help and where you can find help from other students questions. Best math class I've ever taken!!

I think Professor Jones is awesome. Her lectures were great and she was always responsive and helpful.

Class moves fast and there are daily assignments due, but I took this class a B-session online so that's understandable. All the covered material was easy and stuff you should have learned in high school. There is access to lecture readings and videos just in case you need a refresher. She responds to emails fast and is aware of technical issues.

Math is absolutely my worst subject, but this class made it incredibly easy to understand. This was an online class, and the video lectures were clear and concise. She explains things very well and responds fast to student's questions. But don't take this class lightly. You need to do the work and study hard for the exams.

I'm half way through Math 142 online. Yes they are amazing lectures, tons of support, but the online exams suck! You're not allowed to refer to notes. For someone like me who sucks at Math, trying to memorize formulas for a test is impossible. I'm getting 100% on all homework and bombing all of my tests. Please reconsider letting us use notes!

The class was very clear from the start. You can finish it as early as you want. I found the amount of hw average. She, and her 3 TA's answer questions while you work on hw one day a week. And the other day, which you shouldn't miss is group solving day, as it impacts your grade. took almost all lessons in hs. Allows 2 wks of absences

This was the easiest math class I've ever taken. Homework can be redone as many times as you want so you're able to get 100% in that category. All her lectures are videotaped and posted online so you can go at your own pace. Just complete the homework/tests on time and you'll be fine. She knows her stuff and is willing to answer any questions.

This class was honestly fairly easy and one that I found to be quite nice. All of the homework is online and you can redo it as many times as you want. Also, if you finish everything early then you don't have to come to class anymore, which is a big plus for me, since I don't like math.

I loved Jones! Very laid back, helpful, and allowed us to work ahead and finish the course early! Easily one of my favorite professors which is shocking considering I hate math!

This class is a basic math class that everyone needs to graduate. However, it is not basic and requires a lot of work. Be prepared to do a lot of online homework and 5 tests. She cares and wants her students to pass. She lectures on Thursday and there will be group test for points, so be sure to come on Thursday. Good luck!

This course is a basic math class that is MANDATORY. I liked it because it gave you real example of how math applies in our everyday life. Professor Jones, is very intelligent and knows her stuff. The finance section was the most difficult! I'm glad the course is over! Can't use notes during exams. They are proctored RPNOW

Dr. Jones was amazing. Math is not my strong suit but she made things super fun and clear. Tuesdays are work days in the library where she literally gives you ALL of class to do homework. Thursdays are small group days where you work on a quick worksheet then are excused. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR.. She's the best

This class was an easy A. I liked the way it was set up, homework was easy and when it wasn't, it was easy to get help. Don't miss the class more than twice or be late. You can get the class over with in a month or so. Only thing I didn't like was having groups on Thursday.

Amazing professor. Her online lectures are thorough and easy to understand--I only had to refer to the textbook occasionally. There was constant help available on Piazza if you were stuck on a question (no matter how small). The interactive homework feature helped to ease my severe math anxiety. I think all math should be taught like this!

I took this class in person at Tempe and it was real easy. About 10 people in my class finished the course within the first 2 weeks. All you have to do is show up and do the homework's on the site. The homeworks you can do as many times as you want until you get it right. The test can be hard, but they're all multiple choice.

You'll initially take a knowledge check to determine how many topics you've mastered. If you're not proficient, expect to do extra work here and there to catch up :/ But Professor Jones has wonderful lectures that break problems down. She is very present in the class and responsive to questions.

Professor Jones is the best math instructor I have ever had. I'm an ASU online student and I was super worried about taking a math class after 5 years of being out of school. She is straight forward and thorough and funny!

The class is actually fairly easy if you put the work in. Attendance policy was annoying, as you automatically get an E if you miss class 5 times. So theres no point in being in the class if that happens to you. Very nice and enjoyable to be around. Homework and group projects once a week.

MAT 142 online course. Some of the better lectures I've had through ASU Online. Course is taught in a straightforward way, with an emphasis on actually helping you learn. Would recommend.

This class is pretty much taught online. All of your homework and lectures are on her canvas page. You basically show up to class to work on homework and work on group problems. Very easy class and she's very willing to help you work through problems you may be struggling with

This class is a good choice if you're terrible at math and/or are attention deficit like me because the course content is straightforward and available online, no lectures. Beth is friendly and responds quickly to emails. Homework is easy to follow, non-time consuming, and if you have any trouble, the TA's are eager to help. Easy A if you show up.

If you stay on top of things and watch the lecture and take notes you will be fine. If you have any questions about the homework which is a bit tricky there is Piazza to help. Professor Jones gets back to you quickly and she makes sure you understand the problems and concept well. There are five tests and they are pretty straightforward so study.

A lot of work, time management is important .

Do well on the initial placement test. It will make it so you have less work throughout the class. You can work ahead in ALEKS and not have to go to class sometimes. Tests are short so its easy to get a bad grade. This is a very self-guided class. The professor can help but it is mainly in your hands.

I suck at math. I was not looking forward to this class. It was hard in the beginning. Nothing in the first part of the class is useful for "everyday applications." You'll watch a lot of videos and do practice assignments inside of ALEKS. Do the practice exams!!! They are optional but, do yourself a favor and do them. Overall good though!

I suck at math and got an A+. Expect to have homework everyday, but you get 100% on all homework assignment and practice assignments as long as you complete them. I would say the most difficult thing about the class is the written problems as those word problems can get tricky. Watch all lectures videos and you should be good.

One of the most practical and helpful math courses I've ever taken. Jones genuinely cares about students understanding how this applies to daily life. If you are taking two or more classes per session as an online student, take this class as a session C course. You'll have one or more things due (homework, quiz, exam) every other day or so.

The class is all on the ALEKS website. Once a week there is a group assignment which is much harder than the test. Personally, this class was pretty easy. Ask the TAs for help during class, they are the most helpful. Professor Jones can be rude sometimes but over was understanding if you do the work. Tests were short but were the same as homework.

Hybrid class, do all the online work and you can skip out on recitation. Do well on the topic test means less work throughout the year. Replies quickly to emails. Very easy class. Just do all the work, meet the deadlines, and you could have an A+.

We had a lot of ALEKS homework, but every MAT142 does. She provided very helpful, clear online videos on Canvas to teach us the material and did not teach in class. By not lecturing she was able to help us in class on concepts we didn't understand from the videos. Every Tuesday we had a "lab" that was really difficult (I had to rely on the TAs)

She's a great professor, was always available for questions, and found other ways to teach if you couldn't understand. She does not lecture you're taught off of Aleks & her online videos posted on canvas, but its a very simple course so its a great class. TA are very helpful, you have group problem sets that may be difficult but there is lots help!

This professor is good at her job, and the class is probably the easiest math course I've ever taken. Jones sometimes seemed a little disgruntled when I asked for help, but her feedback was always great, and the TA's were pretty helpful too.

We went through the math and she really explained the topic and, surprisingly, the group work was really helpful. I was able to actually learn the material and only felt lost once or twice (which is big!) and when most of the class did bad on areas of the exams, she cut them and we went over it all again. She was very accommodating and helpful.

She can be a little blunt, but is a good professor. The class is mostly done using Canvas and other tools, you learn outside class and apply in class; if you took pre-calc in high school you barely need to study to get an A. Just turn everything in on time and show up.

I hate math. There is a lot of work in this class and some of it did not make a lot of sense to me. I work around doctors and nurses that were stumped by some of the questions in the homework. The last part about amortization of loans was very useful. Lot's of work throughout the week and strict tests (audio and video recorded) Don't sneeze! lol

There is no teaching in this course, so if you're looking for a lecture-based class then this professor isn't for you. All homework and exams are completed on ALEKS and there are weekly group assignments that count for a large amount of your grade. The professor is kind, understanding, and always answers her emails.

Okay, some of these reviews are a little unfair, The main class component is ALEKS which is an online tool. This is no different than any other 142 class, they are all like this so if you don't like this boy I got bad news for you. Attendance is MANDATORY and I mean it. I saw a couple of reviews saying she was rude? I personally never saw this.

When I initially read Professor Jones's reviews, I second-guessed taking her class. Honestly, this is one of the best classes I've taken. Do the homework, read the instructions, and ask for clarity when unsure. You can't be lazy. She has strict policies, but all you have to do is communicate. Don't listen to negative comments about the class.

Prof Jones does a nice job explaining ea module. You'll practice what you learned in the lecture videos via ALEKS which is within the course. You can revisit the homework for more practice. Ea topic has a 3-part assignment, a problem to solve (draft copy, peer reviews, final copy). You can retake tests. Highly recommend Session C, and take alone.

Took C session. Do ALL parts of the written problem assignments. If you do not attempt the problem, you will get 0 credit. Inscribe is a great resource; students will post where they are stuck & P. Jones watches the posts & will get you on the right track. ALEKS is great to help with problems you have trouble with. Stay on top of the coursework!

We used an online platform that was straightforward and assignment-heavy. I spent so much time in this class but focused on the homework and tests. I should have taken the written assignments more seriously because they ultimately got me a B in the class.

If you need to take an entry-level math course, I recommend this class with Jones over the other option 117. Assuming you did decent in high school math, this course will be pretty easy bc it's just a bunch of algebra and some basic geo/trig. I came in late all the time too, and she didn't care. Be nice to her, and she'll return the energy.

ALEKS is used for this class which a lot of students fail because they do not understand math. However, If you follow everything the right way = you will suceed.

Every MAT142 class uses the same program called ALEKS. It sucks. However, this professor offers something for every learning style. I'm a visual learner and she offers step-by-step videos. Or reading, or office hours if you need. I haven't taken math in 40 years and if you put in the work you will pass.

Professor Jones was great! Her review sessions on Zoom each week were incredibly helpful when solving ALEKS questions and written practice problems. She expeditiously responded to our questions and concerns on InScribe! She was frank and candid about sticking to the ALEKS course material over her own video lectures for simplicity's sake.

While the ALEKS platform can be challenging, this professor provides helpful hints to succeed. Attending class, completing the assignments, and using study tools like unstuckstudy can make this course manageable. The lectures are engaging, even if pre-recorded. Overall, a solid math class option.

Overall this class was not very hard for me personally. I believe it all comes down to your math knowledge prior to this class, but ALEKS was easy to navigate and all the weekly group assignments were easy to complete as long as you ask a TA to help you.

Jones is chill and silly! Class is super easy; you do lessons on ALEKS asynchronously and group tests once a week (you can check with an IA to make sure all your answers are correct before submitting). If you finish all the lessons and practice quizzes for a chapter before a certain date, you can miss designated class days. Easiest class ever :D
