Must attend class. She has an attendance sheet that she passes around so students can sign. She's very helpful and willing to answer any question. Do your homework and review it beforehand. Take lots of notes and review them because her exams are based on them. Overall, it is an easy A if you enjoy math.

She literally will start class without even saying 'Hello'. She pulls out her notes that she probably prepared over the summer and just re-writes them on the board, leaving little time for anyone to ask questions (so nobody does). The class is just copying exactly what she writes and praying you'll understand it when you review it at home later.

Take lots of notes, but don't write down everything that she does either because she'll go off a tangents a lot. Homework (6 questions with 1-3 parts per question) is due almost every week and tests are pretty easy if you do the HW and study for the exam. GO TO CLASS, though, because she flies through material and takes attendance as a grade.

The reason she does not get a 5 on easiness is because I took her for calculus 2, and that is not her job to make that class easy. She is probably the best math teacher I have had in a long time. She doesn't waste your time (comes to class, does examples, explains) and in general gives rocks. Overall. Respect and gratitude for her teaching.

Cool person but not a very cool algebra teacher, at least when the class is online. Given the unprecedented circumstances due to COVID, you can't put all the blame on her, but her online lectures are dull, long, and occasionally dreadful. Easily my least favorite class of the semester due to lack of helpful resources and general uninterest.

Shes a good teacher but she has to fill up the class time so she goes way too far in depth with lectures. Aleks (what we do homework on) will help you so much but if you dont have algebra knowledge already, it will be difficult. Shes a sweetheart and wants to help.

Professor Hartmangruber sounds like she's a great calc teacher but I can not stress enough how terrible she is at teaching algebra. Especially online. All of the tests are on lockdown and webcam. She is not very accessible and is not clear about her insane expectations. Many of the people in my class are withdrawing because she's the worst.

Her lectures are dull, long, and she likes to overcomplicate things. Tough grader, if you don't get your equal signs/arrow signs right, thats points down the drain. She's hard to reach outside of class. As for material, most of the stuff you learn will be on ALEKS. Exams are on lockdown+cam. If there's a better professor, choose them avoid her.

AVOID AT ALL COST LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! DO NOT TAKE! SHE IS REALLY TOUGH ON GRADING AND REALLY STRICT ON JUST MINOR ISSUES LIKE EQUAL SIGNS AND ARROWS AND IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HER METHOD OF TEACHING AND USE OTHER WAYS MAJOR POINTS WILL BE TAKEN OFF OF YOUR EXAMS!

Professor Hartmangruber is the BEST math teacher I've ever had. She explains concepts very clearly, and never gets flustered no matter how many times you ask her to explain something. Her lectures are pretty hard to sit through though, since they're long and she goes SUPER fast. Not too much homework and exams are straightforward!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! Save yourself from this monster!! More than half of my class failed or withdrew. During tests she will take off 5+ points per problem if you don't show all of your work even if you got the correct answer. She makes you write down the mental math and by that I mean writing out 1+12, biggest pain in the a$$

BEST CALC 2 PROF EVER, her lectures are long and heavy but she does multiple examples and is super nice about asking questions, and never makes you feel dumb. Her tests are similar to the quizzes and the practice problems she puts up. The final is just like her tests and she does everything she can to prepare you. If you suck at math take her

Perhaps the best Math professor at this school. If you're the type of person who has to take Calc II but is generally bad at math, she is perhaps you're only chance at passing. This is because she reviews basic algebra concepts every time she uses them and tells you how to do each problem step-by-step. She'll be your saving grace.

Professor Hartmangruber is an excellent professor. I had her for college algebra on an course. She reteaches you everything you learned in high school, and is very helpful and caring. The class consisted of hw on ALEKS every week, 4 tests, and quizzes. She can be a little strict with some things, but overall a great prof.

She was great! It was a hard class for me, I had not taken a math class in a very long time. She was always available to help and answer questions. I loved how she validated students who asked a question in class and would follow up with them to make sure they understood. There is a lot of work in ALEKS but if you do it it will help you learn lots!

I love Ms. Hart. Listen to this review if you're planning on taking her, this is all you'll ever need. Her lectures are very fast paced, she is very understanding if you ask questions. My advice, pratice problems outside of class. Final replaces lowest exam, but for me it was all the lowest. You have to put in the work this aint no pleasure cruise.

Worst math teacher I have ever had. I literally took AP Calc in highschool and received a 96 the semester before and still managed to do poorly in her class. She was horrible and makes the tests so incredibly difficult and worded poorly. She also made a huge deal about not coming to class if you felt sick, yet required a doc note every time u miss.

This class wasnt bad at all and she worked through every problem step by step, even basic algebra. There were a bunch of in-class assignments + 3 tests and the final. Super easy to be honest. Her notes/assignments follow closely to her tests. Also a lot of Aleks homework but every class has that! She doesnt grade hard & gives partial credit

she is a good teacher but talks the entire class nonstop very fast. you have to be able to keep up with her. she gives partial credit as long as you show your work, but also says attendance is not mandatory then proceeds to randomly give in class activities that are worth quiz grades. basically if you take her, attend every class.

She is a great teacher and her tests for the most part are sort of similar to the notes and study guides she provides. However, make sure you really understand the concepts so when there are any tricky questions on the tests you will be able to handle them. (2pts extra for attendance - can only miss up to 2 classes)

She is a fantastic teacher. I've been out of school for about 14 years and just recently returned and it was a lot of work to catch up and get a good understanding of how everything worked again. She's extremely accessible and very willing to help you understand whatever you're struggling with, inside and outside of class. She's the GOAT!

I took AP Calc in high school and struggled to grasp the information. She goes over lots of examples and explains everything very well. Attend class otherwise, it is very hard to keep up. If you have near-perfect attendance bonus points are added to your final grade. I ended up with around a 96 in this class! I definitely recommend taking her!

Professor Hartmangruber is a fantastic math professor. She is very knowledgeable and gives good explanations. She grades fairly and gives a lot of partial credit, which is particularly important for Calc II. One of the best professors I've had. Just be ready to work, because that's just what you have to do to do well in calculus.

She is good to take if youre fine with fast paced lectures. As long as you do a little bit outside of class you should be fine. The first two exams were average and the last one was hard, but there are so many opportunities to replace grades that you shouldnt worry about passing. She is nice but passive aggressive. The homework load was average.
