Great Teacher but you do have to put the time in and do the work. She's always willing to answer questions and explain them. Reviews before the test which is extremely helpful. It's a grade you will earn and not be given, but she's great at explaining how to do the problems.

good teacher. lessons are planned out and she is organized. she gives reviews for the tests which make getting A's easy. didnt use the book at all, since all HW is internet based and she plans lessons around exact problems from Maple. even if you think you might use the book, you wont, save your $$. i would recommend her and would take her again.

Zeiss' teaching style is she does easy problems really slow than puts harder ones on the exam. The homework is through MyMathLab which in itself is a frustrating grading system. There are questions where it will mark you right but you are in fact correct. The only personal issue I have is Zeiss tends to be that she is very rude and quite insulting.

Professor Zeiss was a great professor. This was the hardest math I've ever had and she really broke it down and made it understandable. She drops your lowest of the four regular tests. Also offers 5 extra credit points on every test if you get an 85% or above on the practice quiz. Would absolutely take her again!

I took a Precalc/ Trig class. She did a guide note packet. She does 3 test reviews all of which are helpful. The class is lecture-heavy. All quizzes are at home. Homework was due twice a week but had 3-4 days to get it done. We also had in-class activities which I got to know my classmates the best out of any class.

Attendance isn't mandatory but in-class activities are a grade. When the lecture isn't finished, we have to review her online lectures ourselves, which is a downside to her class ( it happens allot). Tests are worth a lot but she is very fair. She also makes you feel stupid when you ask a question. Overall, she's worth taking, not great to talk to.

Before signing up for any of her math classes, be aware that they operate under a flipped format where you will watch lecture videos and take tests at home (except the final) and work on homework in class. This style does not work for everyone especially during a summer session where you have to watch a lecture video every day. Still a solid class.

She's a solid professor but she makes you watch lecture videos with ads instead of lecturing in class; sometimes she even makes mistakes doing the problems in the videos. She makes class participation a part of your grade where you have to present homework problems in class to assigned groupmates. Pretty odd class but I guess it works for some.
