Can barely speak english, very hard to understand her.
She is a bit hard to understand for the first week for class, but she helps soo much, she is one of those teachers that actually takes time to teach you math. Deff one of my fav teachers at Pbcc. I mean she speaks english right, just a small accent, if that dosent bother you, dont hessitate.
Dr Cox is a humorous and dedicated teacher. She presents the ideas very clearly. This is my 2nd semester with her in a subject not dear to my heart. She was able to explain the subject matter so well, I received an A. There has been some unkind comments made by unkind people that are not true.
Her english is a little hard to understand, but trying to decipher it is part of whats fun in her class. We were all shocked when she said "4 cubed" to us. shes funny too
I did not like the class she never had time to really explain homework. I had to drop the class.
I love Dr.Cox. she is soo sweet, I love how she takes her time to explain, she dosent rush her students, if you fail a test, she will most likely help you make it up, she gives extra credit, and is very helpful. The only people in my class that dont like her,r the lazy ones,that dont do hwrk and fai
this professor inspires me to be the best that i can. she makes math seem like its a magical thing. love the attitude.she is very educated!!!you can ask her any question and she can answer. she is excellent!!!i run to her class everyday.always a pleasure to be in her presence.
i loved this teacher! this was my second attempt at this class and i thought i would fail again until she helped me. she really took the time to make sure we understood everything and listened to our suggestions on how to improve herself as a teacher. i am taking her for mat1033 and i highly recommend you do too
hard to understand because she said she cannot find the words, but very nice lady
even though she is from russia she is very good at what she does
This teacher is the stupidest professor ive ever had. its like she woke up one day and decided to come to america and teach prep math, if ur having trouble with math DO NOT TAKE HER. she gets easily frustrated, its hard to understand her, and she makes up equations that cannot be solved. DONT SUFFER LIKE I DID!!!!!
The worst teacher i have ever found.
serisouly do not take this teacher, she is nice until the cut off date then nothing she is like from hell
The nicest lady in the world!! If you ask for help she will give you more than you need. Wants everyone to succeed. A little funny but so nice. Dont be scared to go to her office and ask for help. Other than that its the usual... study, go to math lab, and get an A!
At first I thought, "oh god, i'm going to have to drop this because i can't understand her" but actually you get used to it, and to her teaching style. I like her now, and will choose her again. She's cute, and polite, and wants you to do well. People act immature in this class though,I've seen people cheating with calculators in their lap,or floor
I don't like math at all. When i first entered her class i was like "oh no, this is my worst subject and on top of that i don't understand my teacher!" Everyone told me to get out now before it's too late. THANK GOD i didn't listen to them. She is a great professor. I always laugh in her class and i actaully have a B so far. That's unusual for me!
All I can say is her russian accent is hell when it comes to learning math. If you already have a hard time learning math as it is, then I suggest you don't take her. She talks like she has food in her mouth. You can barley understand the terms that she says.
Dr.cox is the best math teacher ever. she is very helpful. Even though she has a accent you can easily understand her. she also is very funny. she even give you extra credit. i highly recommend her.
Only good if you have great knowledge of math already and like to study only through the book. this teacher uses all the examples from the book and communication could be a bit hard sommetimes.
Eventhough Dr. Cox has a heavy Russian accent she is one of the best teachers I have had in a long time. I have dislexia and she helped me a lot through both her prep classes. I did not pass prep 2 with her do to some personal problems I wanted to take her again but she chose not to teach over the summer. Best teacher ever don't judge her 1st day.
Dr. Cox is very easy and a great teacher if you have a hard time with math she will help you. I thought that I would have a hard time understanding her but after two classes she was easy to understand since she is from Russia. Great teacher, great attitude, great class. If you have a hard time with math you should take her.
This is one of the worst teachers that ever walked the face of Palm Beach Community College.

Nice professor but very un-clear. Barely
Ahhh... never take her! Worst class ever! I had to try so hard to not fail. She doesn't even speck english. JUST DON"T TAKE HER!(thats all i could tell you)
The tests are hard mainly because she puts material not covered in class on it. She goes over easy examples and when the test comes, it is much harder. She never gives a review, even for the final test.When anyone asks for help, she just tells them to go to the math lab. Would not refer to another student.
She is the most caring helpful math teacher ever. First time I have gotten A's in math and actually understood everything I was doing. She has grades for a few things..not just test grades like a lot of teachers and if you do the other work...not only will it help your grade but you will be overly prepared for the tests. She is the best.

Dr. Cox is a very good teacher but hard to understand because of her russian accent. You do have to pay attention do understand what she is saying but if you do you will be able to do well, I did so thats what it was like for me, I do recommend her.
Very nice lady, but teaching method very hard to understand. test are not easy but there not extremly hard. shes from russia so she has an accent,If you have trouble with math as a subject, Don't take her
this lady is horrible she cant speak english well , her teaching style is in greek.....she gives out alot of work and doesn't grade homework.
umm..ya i only went the first class, she didnt make a good first impression, went right to work, hard to understand, everything on comp. pretty much, 6 people walked out in the first 1/2 an hour of class, i gave up on her and i advise u to do so aswell if math is ur weakness, although shes probably a nice lady.
This professor doesn't know how to teach at all. Im failing her class, and she cant even speak good english......
IF MATH IS YOUR WEAK SUBJECT THEN STAY WAY! In this class you teach everything yourself! She does not speak english and her teaching style in nonexistant! Her homework and Practice test and Quiz are all Online (Which could be a good/bad thing for you)An hour seems like a DAY and attendance is MANDATORY or she will hate you!
WORST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!!! teaching method is bad. Does not explain things. This teacher has a strong accent, if you can teach yourself take her. not helpfull!! if you ask her for help she will tell you to go to the math lab. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
THIS TEACHER IS THE WORST. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WANT TO FAIL AND HAVE TO TAKE THE CLASS AGAIN WITH A DIFFERENT TEACHER. I TRANSFERED FROM HER 3 DAYS AFTER I REALIZED I'M SURE TO FAIL WITH HER ACCENT, LACK OF INTEREST IN ACTUALLY TEACHING AND STRESS JUST TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S SAYING. STAY AWAY.
ok at 1st her accent can be a bit overwhelming.. but shes not as bad as everyone says she is. She knows what shes teaching. She tries to make it as easy as possible. She's the ONLY math teacher that gives practice tests before the test which is IDENTICAL to the test.I got an A in her class, but studied from the practice tests.I would reccomend her.
She is a sweet lady, loves to stay after and help students. You cannot understand her, so dont try to. Try to pay attention and you will do fine. Do all the homework and us the MATH LAB! It helps soo much. I wouldnt reccommend her b/c its hard to understand but if you HAD to take her it wont be the worst thing ever.
She is a very nice lady and she works very hard to overcome her language problem! Yes, she is a little unorganized, but if you do the homework and you are not brain dead, you will pass the class! Her tests are almost identical to the practice tests online.If you have problem with 2+2=4 than you should NOT be in college in the first place.
Worst teach I've ever had. She has a terrible Russian accent that is almost incomprehensible. Her notes are unreadable with her hand writing which resembles that of a 5 year old. Deserves to be fired and go back to school to learn how to speak proper English.
nice teacher but hard to understand. you get used to it
even though she is hard to understand she is a great professor. do all the homework and practice test and you will pass her class. you dont have to be good in math because she is willing to help. she wants all her students to pass. i would recommond her to everyone! if your not good in math take her! easy A!
Dr. Cox is amazing! Even if u have a hard time on the tests theres extra credit and ways to get an awesome grade. As long as you show interest in her class and dont sleep she'll love you, but you dont even need to go to everyclass!! i got an A and i dont even know how TAKE HER!!!!
Another great semester with Dr Cox. She was very helpful and nice again. If you need a good grade and you are not a genius in MAT you should take her. She gives similar practice tests before each test and extra point for everything. Her English still needs improvement, but you will get use to it. She is great. Take her!!!
I LIKE HER AS A TEACHER BUT SHE JUST HAD A STRONG ACCENT. IF U ARE NOT GOOD IN MATH I SUGGEST YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE HER.
She IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!!!!! DONT BELIEVE ALL THE CRAP OTHERS TELL U ABOUT HER....GREAT PROGRAM, NICE CLASS, WELL U HAV TO WORK AND DO WHAT U HAV TO DO BUT SHE IS VERY NICE AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND HER EVENTHOUGH HER ACCENT IS NOT SO GOOD....THE MATERIAL IS GREAT AND THE TESTS ARE EASY IF U DO THE PRACTICE TEST THE NIGHT BEFORE-EXCELLENT!!!
NOT horrible. But the way her combo class curriculum is set up there is RARELY enough time for her to get all the material covered. This leads to constant frustration at home and with the tutors when you realize you're being asked to do something that was supposed to be covered. It's like swimming with one arm. Again, she's not a bad person.
Took her express course in fall 2008. It's true that she does have a thick accent that takes some getting used to. If English isn't your first language or you aren't good in math, I'd recommend another teacher. The course did move very fast and sometimes the material was hard to understand due to the shortage of time, but still a good teacher.
ommmmmgggg dontt take her. she can be sweet but its all about her she suckkssssss reallyy. !!!! dont take herr trusttmee!!
I took the combo course. She has a very thick Russian accent but it's not as bad as people say; it's kinda entertaining, and she's hilarious so it makes class better. She's a great teacher even despite the fast pace. You just gotta do your hw and STUDY. Book use is minimal and go to class for your own benefit. Be involved and you'll definitely pass
Great teacher. Very accessible. Did the class online and she is on top of everything. Will answer anything. Tests are identical to the practice tests so unless you are lazy its an easy class to take.
Dr. Cox's class was, for the most part, a breeze. Sure, her accent isn't the easiest to understand and she may not be able to convey concepts well, but she is always willing to help explain things to you after class. Her tests are also quite easy if you study, she only likes to test on the rudimentary elements to make sure all students understand.
I took her online class and I couldn't keep up with the homework. I was doing several hours of homework a week and still couldn't keep up. I couldn't understand the practice tests so I failed the real test. Too much work and I was confused and frustrated. Don't take this class unless you are already good at math and have a lot of time on your hands
she is a great Proffessor. It took her combo class MAT1033 and MAT1105 during the fall, and it was great. If you do the homework, you will easily pass the course.. i would take her class again :)
Dr. Cox is terrific. This was an online class. Her assignments are clear. Her tests go exactly like the pretests. She is incredible on her communication with email questions. If you put in the work you are guaranteed and easy A. Highly recommend.
run for your life i took her in 06
Had her for an online class. any question i asked her just referred me to the syllabus, which is understandable. never ment but class is reasonable
Don't Take Her!!! Class Is Soo Hard, She Doesn't Care About Your Opinions, And She Isn't Helpful
If your not good at math dont take this class. This class is a fast pace and theres a lot of work. I barely passed and worked really hard. She is very hard to understand and doesnt like any questions to be asked. The examples on the tests are very easy and all are multiple choice. She only tests on concepts!
worse math teacher ive ever had doesnt explain anything she will just tell you to go to math help if you dont get it. she barely speaks english so you dont understand what shes saying half the time.
Not at all useful. What is the point of taking a math class that is web enhanced if you learn more online than in the class. Her grading scale is the complete opposite of her syllabus. She gives extra credit for tutoring sessions that are with her assistant, but she speaks little English as well.
SHE IS AWESOME!! Me & math are not friends especially cause i'm a procrastinator.I loved her because she went through EVERY step.Even with her accent she is really clear.Sure she is a little mean & scolds you for stuff but its well meant.Going to her assistant's tutoring helps tons for tests.Make sure you have your materials & no excuses! PS-STUDY!
She is very good teacher,but she's strict.
Great teacher, always there to help and answer any questions. its college go to class and do the hw and youll pass. dont listen to these ignorant people about her accent. she is very nice and strict when she needs to be. She offers tutoring and occasionally gives out extra credit. the only way you will fail her class is if your lazy point blank!
I hate math! but I took Dr. Cox online and if you study and do your homework you will pass her class. Her assignment are clear. her test are easy. I actually failed this class because i didn't put time in it. But with a little more effort I would've passed. Anyways She is a GOOD teacher
She is my savior!!!! I took her online course, she is fabulous. She answers e-mails right away, and is very organized. She is always helpful. The tests are in the testing center..just do the work and make an effort and she sees that and works with you. I'm horrible at math and I finally passed on my 3rd time with her. She is great.
This is the first online class I have taken and she made it easy for me. She replied to emails pretty quick and was good at explaining things. This class is an easy A. A lot of tedious homework but it prepares you roe the tests and final. I will definitely recommend her and take her class again.
Took online and, while she herself is not easy to understand, the math lab she uses makes learning a breeze. Best grade in math I have ever gotten, but I worked for it.
I LOVE Dr. COX!! SHe is a wonderful recher. She wants her studets to do well and she really cares. She is stern and you do need to do all the homework. If you try you will get an A or B. She is very fair and her tests are easier than the homework. But you have to totally understand the homework. SHE IS WONDERFUL!!!
Annoying. Sends like 6 e-mails a week.
I dont even have this professor she was a sub for my class one day and she was horrible, could not understand anything very unclear and very rude. Do not recommend and thats just from one class with her. Take someone else.
Awesome teacher, I've had Dr. Cox for my 2 algebra courses and it was killer. I took her online my second course because her online and class course are legit the same: easy. So nice, always willing to help. she is from Russia so there is an English barrier but really wants you to succeed. I'd take her again if I could. You don't need a textbook.
I took Professor Cox for my MAT1033 class after failing it twice at BCC. I passed with a breeze and it was easy. So then I decided to take her for MAC1105 and it was not easy at all. She was well organized but very strict. She tried to fail me for 3 points but I knew something was missing and turns out she owed me more than 3 points. So I passed.
Professor Cox is amazing! I failed 1033 3 times at Broward college and took her class online at PBCC and Passed it with a B! Her extra credit points are so helpful and the fact that she uses mymathlab made passing this class a breeze!
Great professor. She knows what she's talking about. Makes something difficult easy to understand. Very nice and caring professor. She has an accent, but it's great! Love love loved having her as my college algebra professor. TAKE HER!
Dr. Cox is amazing. If math is not your thing, take her. I'm serious. All homework and quizzes are online and tests are too in the classroom. She is very clear. She can be a little strict but that's only because she wants you to learn
This professor is pretty average.. I'm terrible at math, and Cox really didn't work for me. She is very eager and knows what she's talking about but her methods didn't exactly work for me. She is a very sweet woman. Strong russian accent. If you can, definitely try to take a math class with a My Math Lab component. So helpful.
her class is really easy to pass just do your homework, take her quiz,and study your notes for her test.
I LOVE Dr. Cox. She's a very sweet woman & she's very helpful. Be careful she has a strong RUSSIAN accent, very strict but she only does it so you can learn, she goes over lessons twice and do a lot of notes. The mymathlab was a pain though because I would spend 20 minutes on a question and get it wrong by a number and re-do the whole thing.
Liberal Arts Math - I struggle in math but this class was laid out in a way that I fully understood and excelled. There isn't much work at all. You have to take tests at the testing center but that's ok. She gives extra credit if you take the test on the first few days it's open! Great, easy course and now I have a better understanding!
I'm terrible at math but this class was really nicely organized and I ended up with an A! Cox is a nice woman and often gives extra credit points for taking the tests early. Lots of opportunities to do well. My first positive math experience!
Best teacher ever..I would of take her again
Professor Cox is simply amazing. She has a Russian accent which I personally think its very understandable. She's extremely passionate and very inspirational about math. She loves her students and does whatever she can to help them get the best grade. Prof. Cox makes math very easy and she answers every question you have !! RECOMMEND HER !!!
Professor Cox is an amazing professor. Though she have a really strong Russian accent, she explains the assignment very well and is out there for you to really pass her class. As a person who is not good at math, she has helped me and made it easier for me to comprehend the subject. Assignments are online, tests are in class.
Professor Cox is excellent. She often comes off as very strict but it gains respect from the students and its only because she cares. Do homework, at home quizzes, and notes and you'll be great.
Between her accent and expecting you're great at math already, its tough . I just couldn't grasp her teaching style and although some kids were ok in the class some weren't also. If you're weak in math i HIGHLY regret changing profs. i failed with a D because of the final, but I'm retaking it right now and i have an A if that shows you anything.
Her lectures are ok for the most part but, she lacks connection with her students. She expects everyone to be on the same page when in reality that is not true. I would never take her again. I had to retake the course and passed with a B if that helps.
This course is super easy but she makes it my worst class. She's very strict on attendance but she doesn't grade it, however she does grade classwork. She says not to buy the book but the book is helpful because her english is off with words like can and can't. She gets angry if you ask too many questions. No midterm, 1 final. LOTS of helpful hw.
She is THE BEST!She cares about her students doing well. Pay attention in class, put the phone down, she is trying to help you. She is always around. Im BAD at math and I got an A! I forgot 2 questions on the test she emailed me to come to her office and finish and spent 1 hour just talking. She hugged me on the last day. Take her! She cares!
If you have trouble with accents, do not take her. She gets angry when asked to repeat something or when someone asks too many questions. Attendance is mandatory but you won't get points for it. She expects everyone to understand everything and when asked to explain something, she gets an attitude and is rude to the person who asked the question.
I try to talk Pro. Cox after class but she rushed out of the class. She don't answer any of your questions. Oh and she Russian so but of luck with understanding any words that come out of her mouth.
Took this class online, and the most important thing is to know the due dates. The content of the class was personally cake for me, but I did not pay attention to what I needed to take at the testing center. But otherwise, read the syllabus and if you're decent at algebra, its an easy A.
She has a HEAVY accent. as a Russian i understood her well but my friends didn't. Symbolab for homework is the best helper, she doesn't check the screen and all tests are online. you're very welcome.
