A good teacher. Took her for summer. Explains the material well. Gives review sheet before tests, which are great!Also gives quizes(because it was a summer class, she let us use notes) also we got to drop one quiz and one test (very helpful!)
Easy 'B'. very nice and helpful.
She is so helpful u can make easly B in her class. She explains everything so clearly. the way she explains it makes u more interested in doing the work.
She is so helpful, clear and alway there if u need some help. You can make B easily in her class. All tests n quizzes r from the material that we cover in class.
Easy A! i highly recommend her. does everything step by step. shes funny...doesnt make the class seem boring
Extremely good teacher. I took her for 3 of my math classes. She will help you get a good grade, and everything comes from her classroom lectures..I highly recomend her
very good teacher! she explains things very well. i didn't even open my book once for this class. you don't need it. as long as you take notes, you'll get an easy A!
This teacher is very clear at explaining, but you have to do online homework to pass her tests. You will definitely learn in her class.
This is a very good Professor, very knowledgeable and loves to teach. I would recommend anyone who has been out of school for at 20 years, like me to take this Professor for remedial math.
easy A! took her during the miniterm in the winter and it seemed like i wasnt even taking a class.had the textbook but hardly even used it becuz she wrote everything on the board. i regret buying that textbook. she works the problems step by step. u should take this class during miniterms cuz you don't have to do math labs online
I really enjoyed this professor. I took her for the Summer II session in 2005. She made Math seem so easy. I had not taken Math since High School and well I passed with a B. I highly recommed this teacher.
She is a very capable teacher.
DO ONLINE HOMEWORK DO ONLINE HOMEWORK it will do you good . . Math sucks but she made it less painful
She is SO nice - and very smart. She makes learning SO easy - I didn't even buy the $100 textbook!!!! She is a great teacher - and I would take her again for College Algebra - but she teaches in Stafford. =(
She makes math so easy to understand! You don't even really need to buy the textbook for her class. As long as you do the online homework, you're pretty much good to go. She's not boring, so take her if you can.
I took her two classes, 0342,1314. She teaches very good and very clear. She also gives students review before every test. Do onlin homework and come to review, you will pass this class. You don't even have to buy text book.
Awesome teacher. She is the best!!!!! I hated math and now I actually like it. I wish she taught Chemistry!!!!
This is the first time I ever love math!!! She made it easy to understand and teaches you every step you need to know. She always review for each exams and test are not long. I will take her again for College Algebra. :-)
She's more than an instructor she's a mother; she knows her stuff and she delivers it well. She's one of the best instructor I have every come across in the Houston Community College System. If you want to learn and excel PLEASE and PLEASE take her class.
she is the best teacher i have ever had for math....she explains really good.....i was grateful i had her for college algebra. i would definitely recommend this teacher to any student..
Very good teacher. Helpful teaching. I definitely recommend her.
Super nice & helpful professor - she really explains everything very well! You do NOT have to buy the book for her class - it can be attained online since the homework is done online, as well. She helps you prepare for tests with the in-class discussions. EXCELLENT PROFESSOR whom I would totally recommend.
VERY GOOD
very nice and helpful teacher
Well lot of my friends think that she came on this site and rated her self cuz wasn't all that good. Its true that she's hard and her tests are not multiple choice. But this a class for those who want to study and actually learn. If you miss a class than you will be lost. Take her if your a nerd, she's worth your money and time.Dont slack Off !
She is a wonderful teacher. very easy to understand, thougt she does have an accent. when i first meet her i did not think i could learn from her because of her slight accent, but now i barely notice it. She makes hard math seem like 1st grade math. I am going to take her for all of my math requirement and i would recommand you to do the same.
shes super nice and the way she communicates and teachers to her students is very easy. just as long as u do your homework its fine will be taking her for college alg. in the beginning of each class she does a "recall" and reviews everything u learned from the previous class. easy A!
If you struggle with math Professor Kallarackal is the instructor for you. She gives extra points, so you can't fail the class. She is always willing to help her students. Please don't try to cheat on the test! Do your homework, attend all the lectures, and you will pass the class.
indian teachers are usually "hard" buh she is the complete opposite..she is an easy math teacher...i used to hate math.. buh damm i felt like a smartass in her class...as long as you do the hw, in which you get several chances to get good grade u'll be fine...the tests ARE EASY..i made an A+ in tat class..deff. recommend if u wanna get a good grade
Take her class!! She teaches well..even tho she has a fobby accent..but shes funny. And she won't go on until she knows everyone understands how to do it! U barely use the text...infact u dont have to buy one! But u do have to buy mathlab online for $60 to do your hw which isnt bad. If u get a 100 on ur hw u get extra points added to ur test!
she is the best math teacher that HCC has am taking her for my College alg this semester but i had her last semester best teacher
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS NOW! ALL THE COMMENTS BELOW WERE WHEN SHE WAS A NORMAL TEACHER. BUT NOW THIS COMMENT IS THE NEW EDITION OF HER IMAGE. SHE IS NOT NORMAL I MEAN 12 FORMULAS IN ONE DAY AND TEACHES MORE THAN THE ACCTUAL CLASS TIME... THATS JUST STUPID.
this teacher is so helpful and she is very nice.you never boring in her class, her tests are very esay it similary to the review.
Took her for Calculus I...very good teacher, just make sure to keep up with the homework it is helpful though not mandatory. she gives quizes which i thought were helpful so you know where you stand in knowing the material.
ok maybe the person below isnt normal...but she is a great teacher..i took her last semester and got an A. If you dont understand she will not go on until u do. I RECOMMEND HER!!! she probably is the best math teacher at hcc.
You do not have to buy the book just buy the homework code and do the homework you will pass
i agree with u. I think dat person iz not normal also. I took this woman for ma College Algebra and Calculus 1 and i made A's in both classes. If u study and ask questions u are bound to do well in her class. Just mention ur problem in math 2 her and they'll be solved. TAKE HER PEOPLE, she iz the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am agree with both of ya, she is the best teacher that have ever had in my life as student, her class is really great even though she has accent, her class is clearly. The review comes exactly mostly likely the test. The only things is that you have to solve problems in the test as faster as you can since she does not have enough time to solve th
I love this teacher. her class was sooooo easy. If you want an A take her!
Awesome teacher. At first I thought I wasn't good at math but after taking her class I realized math isn't hard. She will give you extra time for the homework if the class participates when she asks.
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER I LOVE HER SHE WILL HELP U THRU UR PROBLEMS ..... EM WELL IN SHORT SHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST
OK SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY I HAVE NEVER DONE GOOD IN MATH BUT SHE KNOWS HOW TO EXPLAIN AND NOW BC OF HER IM THINKIN ABOUT CHANGIN MY MAJOR THAT INVOLVES MATH TAKE HER HER TEST ARE EASY IF U STUDY HER REVIEW AND SHE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT !YOU WILL MAKE AN A!!!
She's a great teacher. I have no complaints about her except for the fact that she likes to teach till the very, VERY end of class. It just get ridiculous & repetitive. Great teacher though. Take her if you want an A.
I took algebra 1 onlin. I had a really hard time with it and had to drop the class, if you struggle with math don't take this class online!
Probably one of the best math teachers i've ever had. She's very nice, helps you out if you really try. She has jokes to keep the class alive so early in the morning.She has these math meetings every Friday and if you go and sit there she will add a point to your AVERAGE each time you go! Thats why i got an A. Her tests are exactly like the review!
never had a teacher like this 1. This teacher made me hate math! no kidding,every morning she comes in and begins writing on the board,and doesnt teach anything because its the same thing thats in our book. Everyday i walked away with 5 pgs of notes, the whole time in class you take notes. she expected us to learn 10 sections for a written test.
she gave a ridiculous amount of homework, and random homework quizes. the only downfall she never went over the homework so i never knew if i did the problems correct... thats how we learn isnt it?... so all you do is take notes of whats already in the book (no help on homwork) and then do homework and get tested over a bunch load at one time.
The class is cool....I guess. Our class had MyMath Lab homework everyday:( Its suppose to help you,but only confused me more due to the online techniques. I would recommend her. You must work hard and communicate with her often
She was not helpful, I went to her many times for help and she just shot me down. Doesnt give extra credit or tutorials.
I Love this teacher; she is so friendly, happy and creates a good vibe in the class. she makes tha hardest problems so simple and she is so helpful with whom is determined to learn. Only people that are lazy and unwilling to learnn will have a dull class with this teacher.
she is nice i took her class on online she waz very nice specially if u do the review she only change the number n i even missed the test n she gave me the chance to take it so u should take her class do not lesten those lezy student take her!!!!!!!!!!!!1
At first i thought she was hard, but later it was easy.. Took her for the summer, and made a A+... Reviews were like the test.. But you must attend the class, otherwise you will get lost..
Great teacher. I took her for Business Cal this summer. She is very helpful, her reviews are exactly like the test, she also gives tons of extra credit. She does speak really fast though, if you just study her reviews, and go to class you will do just fine.
the hardest professor i have ever seen toughest grader, very rude, if u cant keep up the pace in the class u dumped she is not gonna help u any way the
toughest grader ever
the class is gonna be your worst nightmare grade will be the worst
he gives too much home work
devastating prof
does not have any quality
low quality
low quality toughest exams
One of the best teachers of my life. I actually learned the material versus memorizing stuff. Her knowledge is so amazing! Highly recommend her as a teacher.
I had this teacher last semester and she is super easy. i enjoy the way she teaches cause everything she teaches, it's on the HW. She's very organized and helpful.
If you are a true dork of math then take her. She assumes that you already know the material before you enroll in her class. She does'nt make the realation between the previous math course & the present. She 100% fluent on her math skills but if you can'nt communicate than the students are loseing out...
Takeing her class was my mistake I should have done my research. A good teacher is one who can reach all, not just 2 or 3 students in the classroom.
I had this teacher for exactly One hour and thirty five minutes. First thing I did when I got home was dropped this class. Best decision I made all year. Has a real thick accent and can tell it would be difficult to comprehend her lectures.
WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN IN MY COLLEGE LIFE.SHE JUST TAUGHT THE STUDENT WHO SAT IN THE FRONT OF THE CLASS.
Horrible teacher. She favors those in the front and has a negative outlook on anyone else. I have always been very interested and good in math, she just ruined it for me.
Had her for calc 2 summmer. Does problems on the board and reads from the book. Doesn't allow you to tape lectures because she teaching method is "copyrighted" not sure who would want to steal her teaching method. Didn't give us a final review because she was out partying. Favors students in the front. Condescending and rude to those not her pets.
Wow! people are so stupid, you say such bold statements like "firing her would be best". You idiot, you can't even set a goal and achieve it in her class, thats your problem not her's. Like any class... show up and try hard and you will make an A. Whine and stay where your at, arrogant as if you know best... but you didn't know enough to get an 'A'
I had her for college algebra. It's hard to understand at times what she's trying to teach. But do your math lab and you should be able to understand what the heck is going on. She's super easy and does curve!
She was great; I took her online college algebra class and as long as you do the homework on time and do the review for the tests, it is impossible not to make an A. I didnt use the book, i used the video tutorial available through my math lab. I highly recommend for those who dont do well at self teaching. Wish she was teaching 1316 online.
For me, Pro. Eunice is not very hard. The way she teaches is EXACTLY the same in the text. But she gives the Reviews, all you need's doing the review as much as you can,you' ll pass her tests easily. Also,she gives students chances to increase scores by redoing wrong questions after she grades them, and you'll 5 extra points. Sum,Good Prof!Easy A!
I took this online. She was more than helpful for anything I needed. She is a good teacher, I would have done better had I studied.
Can anyone tell me if all the exams are online including the finals please. Thanks
wise instructor
I am terrible at math, truly. Prof Kallarackal was my life saver. If you try, she will make you succeed. I can almost say, I actually enjoyed the class. She's good humored, but doesn't put up with tardiness, distruptions, etc. Overall--Great Teacher!!
Awesome Professor!all u need is to listen and be attentive,bet all reviews revised thouroughly and you will make an 'A'
She is very helpful. She enjoys what she does and loves to help students like me to pass. Just don't do what I did a procrastinate and you will get a "A" .
I took this class online during the second summer session (5 wks), and the professor was awesome. If there was a question, she answered it quickly. The online instruction videos were very helpful and she allows you enough time to complete all of the homework. I made an 'A' in her class and she made it easy to do so.
if i take her 1314 class online do i have to do my final in person?
She's a very good teacher. I really like her teaching method. She instructs step by step, so Math becomes easier for me. Her humor makes the Math class lively. I recommend her to students who don't like Math should take her class.
Best Teacher ever! She is very clear and teaches by giving examples. She makes the course very simple, she should be teaching a course on how to teach to all the other professors, I have so much respect for her. She is always willing calmly explain every thing to you. i use to get C in all the other math courses and the with her class i got "A"!!!!
She is a wonderful professor.
The best math teacher i ever met. Has a good sense of humor and able to clarify things, she could even work with you one on one. She taght me how not to miss any step when solving math problems which is crucial to anyone's success. She has a passion for math.Take her if you need to rediscover your math skills.
Absolutely one of the best math teachers I have had since I have been in college. She is extremely helpful and she takes her job very seriously and she does get a little irritated if you goof off in her class but that's because she cares. I got a B!!! I recommend her all the way!!!
i took this class online and she explain everyting well, i did not have any problem and if you work in the online assigment there is not anything to worry, she makes evrything easy, final review about all tests, just u have to follow her.
she is very nice!!!!!!! she is clear and respond to the email fast. the only problem is that her final is on campus. so if u are out of state dont take her online unless u will be in town the day of the finals. however, she has couple days which you can choose from.
She is very nice and knows her subject very well. She is very helpful and want her student to make an A. overall a very good math teacher where you will learn and make an A
I took Calculus I with her during a 3 week summer mini session. She is a wonderful professor and genuinely wants her students to succeed and will help whenever necessary in order to make difficult material easier to understand. I would definitely recommend her to other students and wish I could take Calculus II with her as well.
Prof Kallarackal is a great instructor for hard classes. She is awesome!
She writes every steps on the whiteboard to help you understand and make up of her accent. Three exams and final, the lowest grade of the exam is replaced by the average grade of five quizzes. She tries to help you get a high grade. EASY A if you do the hw & reviews which are mostly likely the exams.
Tests don't have a makeup even if you work hard. She knew that I worked hard, gave me extra point for being prepared day b4. On test day, My alarm didn't ring and I was late. it was obvious that I wasn't prepared;she had find someone to give me a Scantron. Most of the people in my class dropped.She was heartless, saying she couldn't give me advice.
Made a C took it online, I did all the home works, my homework average was 97%, and made 80 & 86 on my tests. Final is departmental idk how I made a C, spoiled my Gpa but she's was rude at first she tells you to read the syllabus even when you don't understand like weh, make the syllabus clear, overall good instructor
Awesome.... If you want to learn math, Take her.. work hard and listen to her.. She is very helpful.. I just love her.. thank you madam. <3
HORRIBLE TEACHER In her class right now, and I still cant understand her. Accent is way to strong. Doesn't teach, just copy off the notes, and moves way too fast. AVOID even though there isn't too many options for trig at HCC
Just be Careful guys.. She is indeed giving us hard time. I mean really really hard time with this course.
She does not respond to emails as quick as she could. She does not help at all. This was an online class, but she provided no assistance when needed. And, who puts the final the week before finals?
she's a good professor
She explains calculus very well, and she provides reviews for the tests. If you can complete the entire review with ease, which you should if you have been attending class, you will do fine on the tests. I wish I could take her for calculus III and engineering mathematics.
Took precal online, regular term. Not clear as to when exams are due. Missed 2 exams because of it. Managed to make a D even with missing exams. All work is online, homework and exams (final too). Takes about 2-3 days to answer emails. No curve. No drop lowest grade. No extra credit. Exams retakes on campus. Its ok if you are on top of her course.
Simple course. She teaches the material very well. If you didn't pass, you probably didn't go to class everyday or didn't complete the online homework (which has an UNLIMITED number of attempts!!) Definitely recommend and am taking her for my next math course!
Online class-2nd start spring2015. You have 3 online tests and a on campus final, homework. No extra credit, curves, dropped or bonus points. You learn from the book, online resources, reviews are on her website.25 question tests timed75 min. With about 5-8 word problems. Drop the class because I had a C that was dropping quickly & I love math.
She's very nice. Her lectures are easy to understand. Something that I don't understand is because of my English skill. If you do enough homework, you can use it to replace one of the test. Moreover, you can drop 1 test which means if you do well in class, you don't need to take final exam.
Since it's online course, most of the assignments, exams luckily the final were online. This makes the class so much convienient for my busy schedule. Need to spend lots of time for note taking, do HW, and practice over & over to fimilarize with the problems in order to prepare for the exams. Most of the exams problem are from the reviews
Just do your homework and you will be fine.
Worst teacher ever! I took her for the summer, her syllabus was wrong. It would say one day for the test and it was the day before. When I tried to explain this to her, she said too bad. I tried scheduling at the testing center, and then well.. unreliable. She doesn't use my mathlab, which every math teacher uses in HCC. Difficult teacher!
CALCULUS REVIEW for non-MATH majors do take If you're doing engineering take her. She will make you understand calculus and help you get ready for the next one. PS. she does a lot of extra just ask. Test are easier than the study guide
She is one of the best calculus instructor at HCC. She explain everything in detail. Her class was not easy but if you put in the work you will receive a good grade. Took her in the 5-week summer term. there were 3 test, 5 quizzes, and online HW. If you average an A before the final you will be exempt from taking it.
I took her online. She is good. As long as you do hw and study for the tests you'll make an A.
I emailed her once and got a condescending reply. The second email I sent her went unanswered. I am not that strong at math so I shouldn't have taken this in a minimester. Not impressed with her from the little interaction we did have. I got a "D" so I will be taking it over with a different profession this spring.
Her response test is freaking hard. If she find out some mistake, she took away half of the grade. This class is brutal and hell.
When it comes to tests, you're pretty much on your own for everything... no reviews... its not easy at all...
She is very knowledgeable in math, tones of teaching experience. Highly recommended if you want to know anything about math.
Simply one of the best math teach in HCC. Take her if you want to know math.
She is an amazing teacher. She knows her stuff and explain them very well. She gives a lot of examples in class that are very helpful. Just do the test review before your test and you'll definitely pass
She has so much knowledge, you will start loving the subject! Yes, it was hard to wake up at 7 and go to the class but I participated a lot and learned too. I was not able to do good in the first two exams (Don't know why) but I didn't care, at least i was gaining knowledge. Did great in Exam 3 and final though
Professional. Replies really quick. If you do your work you will pass it.
If I had of focus more could have gotten a B in the class but I took Math 1316 during Winter Break, just have patience and you will survive. Take it day by day but as a teacher goes, do not really need because MyMathLab teachers you everything you need to know. JUST STAY FOCUS!!!!!
I will not recommend to take online classes with her. I though she will giving lessons online but instead she just ask me to open an account in mymathlab. It's a lot of homework and the end of the day you have not learn enough.
WORSE AND RHE MOST RUDE TEACHER EVER Thinks she is the best and have a superiority amongst others I would not recommened her at all. If you want to fail, she is the one for you At once says she will give the extra credit and then say too bad iam not. Lady you need to make up your mind
DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!!!!!!!!! Even though she teaches fine, shes mean and she doesn't listen to anyone's questions. Her tests are also super hard so if you want to make a decent grade find someone else.
I had Trig with her. it's a pretty straight forward course. everything in on MyMathLab and predefined and pre-programmed. make sure be ahead of your schedule and do the optional quizzes before the exam to be ready. overall great professor.
Mrs Kallarackal made calculus seem easy. I went into her class very skeptical because it was calc , but she quickly put my fears to rest. She's a great calc teacher, she really knows her stuff and tries very hard for her students to understand too. I had taken calc before with another teacher but dropped it, then retook it with Mrs. k and had an A
Worst teacher ever. I would say don't take her class. She is very disrespectful to her students.
I am extremely satisfied with this professor! The class was a challenge but not impossible. I'm walking away feeling skilled for the next level! If you want to learn take her!
I took her from last semester, I did not met the requirement to take the Calculus 1, so that's why I chose this class. She did not teach you anything, all the homework was from Mymathlab, you have to pay for it. You must study by yourself to pass the test. If you are bad at Math, I don't recommend to take her. If you are good at Math, then easy A.
If you want to learn Math, take her class. She tries to explain the lecture to help you understand easily by using 2 3 example for each content
She is a very good prof to learn math. She explains everything in class well, clears all doubts and makes us practise tough questions too in class. She is really passionate and caring. her tests are really easy as it is same as the review. quizes are same as the class problems. lets you to do open book quizzes and allows to write formulas on board
Calculus 2 introduces us to new conecpts. quite different from other math class. If you have good foundation in Calculus 1 , you will do well in any Calculus 2 class. She is a good prof. Teaches really good and practises many problems. Her tests are really easy as she put up easy questions. You can do well in this class if you study as she teaches.
I got a seat in her class the last day before the class started and I am so glad I got her. She is good in math and teaches well. Her tests are easy if u study and understand the concept. Calculus 2 is hard, but if u pit your effort, it is so easy with her. She never blows your mind in tests and quizes with hard questions
dont miss her lectures
just study as she teaches and follow her instuctions. you will do good if you put effort to practise the problems she teaches in class. her exams are easy and the finals too. she tries her best to give extra credits in everything. put in a little effort and u can get an A very easily. dont look further for any professor, take her if there is a seat
Do her reviews before tests. it wont be the same questions but similar pattern. her tests are easier than her reviews. If you can do the review good u will score high for the tests for sure. she drops one quiz. you need to attend all the exams.
one quick tip- make sure you start to work on your final review as you finish each test as the final test is comprehensive. If you solve problems for the final review as you finish each test -it will be easy at the end. her quizzes are questions from the reviews as well. so practise the review as u study- for quiz, tests and finals.
good prof with in depth knowledge and skilled to teach. No need to get the textbook but you need to purchase web assign in which we do our home works.
she is a good prof to take. she has online classes in which she posts only homeworks, tests and quizzes but she teaches a lot if u take the in-class. i think those who had put negative comments are those who did online which is the same with any proffesors as none teaches lectures online and just posts homeworks and tests. She does an excellent job
Doesnt explain well and you "just gotta trust her" She doesnt teach you how to understand the concepts but expects you to just memorize and somehow do well on tests no formula sheets no calculator. Shes so unavailable and unwilling to help out cant ask a question during tests because "she forgot" She's so strict on her grading. you are on your own
Cal 2 is not a easy class, however, Ms. Kallarackal always try her best to cover each chapter thoroughly. Practice the exam review as many times as you can, if you can do the reviews, then you can easily do the tests.
Explains the material very well, although most of the time very quickly too. So if you wanna keep up, give the chapter she is going to cover a quick review beforehand. Overall caring, funny, and she will explain something multiple times if ask
I took a 4-week long summer online course, so the coursework was heavy, as expected. However, her attitude was passive-aggressive borderline hostile when I emailed her about extra credit. And even before the final test was due, she took down all powerpoint lectures and homework so students cannot access them to have a look over. Not recommended.
Worst decision ever taking it online. If you're not good at math, DO NOT TAKE ONLINE.
Best Math teacher ever. Took her for the summer 5 week session. Do your review and the home work and youll pass with ease
The course load was heavy since it's a summer class, but she always take her time to explain the materials. Write down the all the notes and examples she gives, because they will be on the quizzes and exams. She's very knowledgeable, you're definitely going to learn a lot in her class
Really good teacher. Very sincere and willing to help. Explains thoroughly and very easy to understand her lectures.
Will take her for every math class that I can. Do your homework and exam reviews and you will make the grade. Extra credit is given. Homework is online & an easy 100. Very knowledgeable and wants everyone to learn. The quizzes cover the info you need to use repeatedly. If you make it to the final you will be glad you stayed till the end.
Dr. Kallarackal is very nice. She cares about her students and helps us a lot. She answers every question. Her tests are not hard if you pay attention and take good notes in class.
The PowerPoint slides and WebAssign homework are really good and understandable. This class makes you work hard for the grade. Sometimes, her feedback and announcements are hard to understand until you ask her again (more than 1 time). Also be expected to change your schedule for Online exams as the dates will change without notifications.
Ms. Kallarackal makes her in person proctored exams very difficult. She is very not accommodating at times. Her exams are not multiple choice for the most part. I can't be that conscientious and input every number, variable, radical, fraction right all the time. Your standards are wayyyyy higher than most teachers. AVOID!!
Shes a good professor but her exams are ridicules you get docked points for almost anything and calculus 2 is just packed with too much information that its hard to memorize or know whats going to be on the exam, she has exam reviews but shell usually choose the most confusing questions from the review. This class will take most of your time.
She is so rude and aggressive it makes it hard for students to ask her questions, more than half of her class failed and she did not curve, She gives too much homework! and her exams are all written and extremely hard to do
she is a good professor, I took her online class, many people commenting here are may not work hard in her online class. she is not through her powerpoints are good, she may give extra credit if you ask her. just to get an A you need to work hard practice her reviews, mainly practice the concepts in the reviews. she may extra credit if you contact
She covers important subjects thoroughly & explains the reasoning behind them. Quizzes are 15% of the final grade & help you review. Test reviews are good and the tests are doable (4 tests 70% final grade). Her accent is not a problem & she explains any questions really well. Cal 2 is hard but study notes & read the online book for clarification.
I took Ms. Kallarackal for Cal II online. It was a bad experience! Her exams are on webAssign but she doesnt check them! I lost points for not entering a parenthesis,not using a capital letter,etc. When I asked her, she was arrogant, dismissive, and did not even check! She gives a LOT of homework and her exams are hard as can be! AVOID HER!
I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this professor. More than half of the class failed the exam but she said she doesn't care because there were a few students scored really high. Her class will stress you out through all the semester bc you'll have to keep studying for the quizzes and the exams. 20 questions each exam no multiple choice. Goodluck!
I swear this class was about to take me out bc its extremely difficult, but I made it. The professor is engaging at times, and hard to connect at other times. ConnectMath hmwk & 5 exams. Do your best and she will do the rest.
Took this class during summer 1, must do the homework and practice on the review and you will pass the test. She will drop your lowest test grade, and you can ask questions during the lectures if you don't understand. Will be taking her again for Cal 1.
Took her for 2412, 2413, 2414 and got an A in all, i had to work very very hard but its not an easy subject so its as to be expected, 3-4 tests replaces lowest with the final, 6 quizzes and drops the lowest, best math teacher by far of the 4 ive taken at HCC, she is an amazing lecturer and gives study guides to do that are very similar to tests
I am taking her right now for Math 2413 (Calculus 1) in Summer 2 (online). Can anyone please tell me if her exams are similar to review or not?
I took the online summer mini which is a 5 week course. Since it is Calculus, you can expect it to be difficult but you can do it! This class requires much time so beware of time management because I almost fell behind in the class. The reviews do help with the tests. 4 exams and the final can replace exam 1 or 3. Good luck!
I took her in summer 2 online and got an A but it was the hardest class I have ever taken since prof. won't help at all. You have to search and understand all the concepts yourself since she didn't provide any study material at all till the end of semester (She forgot to open it). Don't take her online or be ready to study at least 6 hours a day.
I took this professor for 5 weeks online summer class. She did actively participate in discussions and tried to engage students in solving problems on discussion board and answered emails promptly. It is easy to fall behind if you don't work every day, but you expect calculus to be hard and even harder to study online in 5 weeks.
I took her class. I think she is amazing. She gives extra credit. Just study for what she has taught in class and you will be fine. She makes math class is interesting.
I loved Kallalrackal! She is an amazing math teacher. I normally do not do well in math, but she taught in a way that I understood. The class was very challenging and fast paced. Get ready to write because she goes fast! You HAVE to study and do your homework. All that said she made me like math; I even called it fun once! I would take her again.
I wish she could have Cal 3 class! I've taken her for Cal 1 and Cal 2. It's not easy (as it should be) so you have to work hard for your grade. She covers all of the materials on lecture so you should take good note, do the homework and you'll fine. She's also a sweet and caring person, gives a lot of extra credits too. Take her you won't regret!
Im going to assume that because this class was online, I didnt hear much from her. It was a simple class, do the homework on Connect Math, take the weekly tests, take the final. My problem was that many of my emails were left unanswered. They were genuine questions, and many were left without a response.
I really looked forward to taking this professor after reading comments from this site. I know this class is hard, I dont expect and easy grade, AND being forced to learn online in a whole new world for some of us. Her test are super hard, and not being able to receive partial credit just really sucks right now.
I would absolutely not recommend this professor. I had a lot of questions that unfortunately did not get answered. I emailed her multiple times, no response. To make matters worse, the final exam had issues (questions not loading) and she did not respond. Her lectures are not helpful. Im not the strongest math student, so this was frustrating.
I had for an online summer class. Be ready to put in a lot of hours for her class. The textbook is free and available online through canvas and that is where the homework is. She gives reviews for her tests but you do have to study extra material. You can always reach out to her and she will try to help you out. It is frustrating because its online
I have to say the same are my peers who took her online class for the summer. She only taught for two hours a week and the rest was self-teaching. Although the exams were ABCD, they were still hard due to the self-teaching and lack of clarity. If u take her online, just focus on the REVIEW, NOTHING ELSE!!!
Amazing professor. She'll make you work for your grade, but explains everything in detail and tells you what to focus on for the exams. Out of the quizzes you can drop the lowest one. Don't miss any of her lectures and make sure you do homework on time, it really helps to stay on top of it. Really nice lady, especially during the covid crisis.
I took this class online over the summer. She gives lectures, but its mostly self taught. The reviews help, but it doesnt always correlate with the test.
Well, this professor was pretty fair in general. She isn't really accessible outside of class (if online) The good thing about this professor is that she seems to teach well, if you pay attention and you take really good notes, you should be okay as she bases her exams on the reviews. Expect written portions in exams and also show your work quizzes
The way she handles her canvas page is horribly inconsistent. She never looks at the reviews she posts if she even posts them on canvas. There are questions on there that aren't even related to the exam. She doesn't do lectures like my previous math professor would. All she does is remind you of quizzes that have no dates. 1/10 would not recommend.
Ask a question, get told "post it in Discussions and I'll look" - 3 weeks later, nada. She never looks. Her "exam reviews" are shoddy quality - all but one had several verifiably wrong answers in the answer key. No viewing what questions you got wrong on an exam, so who knows how many errors are on those too with how careless she is.
Took her for online anytime class Pros: She gives multiple choice question tests, Cons: barley responds to emails, extremely strict about cheating ( even if you look away for any reason she will send you an email thinking your cheating), No lectures, Bad at english she seems to be a good teacher when shes teaching in person, but not online.
I have attrndended 3 years of college abroad though i was forced to retake cal, if you kniw the answer without answering with her method she will consider it wrong jtlyk. You could be having hard times and be forced to take a few days off but she wouldnt care and will still ask you for medical proof, even if a parent of you dies. So play it smart.
Just NO
Prof. Kallarackal seems only to care about who is cheating. As for the actual learning, she doesn't even bother. If she suspects you are cheating, she sends you an email, and makes you do the test in front of her. Why does HCC allow this? She never responds emails. I rate her difficult for her inability to create a positive learning environment.
She’s is obsessed with cheating, has no lectures in her online classes, and refuses to drop the lowest test grade. Our exam 2 was only one hour with 20 questions and the average grade was a 45 due to difficulty and lack of time. She refuses to give extra credit and curves also.
I withdrew because I felt lost. Worst aspect: Pop quizzes. She would teach something for the first time in the video call, then that same video call put out a quiz to take, and she would close it in 10 mins. This is my first time learning the material and she expects me to take a quiz already? I felt I had no chance to get a good grade.
Professor Kallarackal is simply not a good professor. She gives no lectures, grades the steps on the problems mercilessly, and refuses to drop the lowest test grade as she did in previous semesters. For many students, she called meetings requiring them to authenticate their steps in front of her because she thought they were cheating.
Do NOT take her if you're taking an online class. Grades scratch work harshly without offering any type of lecture/instruction to justify her want for perfectionism. Expect to teach yourself the material and to find your own resources bc she gives none. Slow to respond to emails/questions. Cares more about catching cheaters than teaching.
Don't be fooled by the positive review she's had in the past. She is right out cruel, to say the least. Gives zero lectures, so you're on your own. Textbook provided is horrible. Tests are long & difficult with very limited time, and she expects u to show every detail of ur work. Doesn't drop 1 exam, & does not curve at all. Obsessed w/ cheaters.
I do not recommend taking this class with this professor. I lasted a week in this class because I was fueled with frustration due to the lack of teaching. There were no verbal lectures provided by the professor whatsoever. Teaching yourself this type of material without verbal feedback is impossible. She took days to respond to emails. Don't take.
The prof. does not provide any resources and the online textbook doesn't help at all. You're going to have to search up 90% of everything yourself. The exams are usually around 20 questions long but you're only given 5 minutes per question and each correct answer gets you 3 points while showing the correct work gets you 2. Highly don't recommend.
Extremely hard even for a math lover like me. Tons of homework to do in a short amount of time and very weird quizzes that only opens for 12 hours on a week-day when people work. Hardly comprehensible lectures and homework. EXTREMELY TOUGH grader. I do not recommend it if you want to pass a class or learn.
She was very patient with me, she saw that i didn't understand and explained it in simpler terms. gave us opportunities to bring up our grades. It's a tough class don't get me wrong
Just do not take this class if you want a good GPA. She is the worst teacher I ever had.
She's the worst. takes off a lot of points on the exam. If you want a good gpa do not take her in fact just don't take her. She will mess up your mental health. Just don't take her, save your money, your time and your emotional health
Worst professor ever! So rude not understanding at all. Always speaks rudel. DO NOT TAKE HER! You will be miserable. Always miscommunication never answers.
Pick another professor,waiting on the ADA professor still didn't care and would not extend assignments, very cold-hearted DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS, on top of issuing 3 chpt at 1 time she expects you to write a paper about what your learning, she also gives exam but gives you very little time to complete, this professor really sets you up to fail.
She is very extra and annoying. Everything has to go her way without any compromising. If you have the choice don't do it to yourself.
Took 2413. Excellent teacher and super sweet. Speak up in class if you don't understand something. Be prepared to keep up with the homework (practice!) or else you'll easily fall behind. You will be required to purchase a book online to access the homework. Exams have both multiple choice and free response (FR), but gives partial credit for FR.
She overly difficult, lectures are very heavy. Her reviews don't help much, it's a hard class but she makes it worst. If you don't want to end up in therapy for mental health, don't take her. She's so awful
She is little challenging and a bit stubborn with grading. My only problem was some instructions were not clear for free-form questions. She is well-organized so no last-minute surprises. Book is useless, you need to teach yourself using online sources. Don't expect sympathy from her or expect her to make things easy. You need to put in the work!
I am taking Eunice Kallarackal's Math 1316 Plane trigonometry class. The course is supposed to be online anytime but you are not allowed to complete any of the course work until the professor allows you to I contacted the professor about this matter and all they said was " My class is structured the way you see it". They do not care ab students
No mercy whatsoever, very difficult class.
Do not to take this professor if you want to maintain you GPA. She would only allow things her own way. If you forget your calculator, she would not allow to borrow one nor does she allow to use a paper for the calculations. She has no mercy for anyone.
RUNNNNN if you can!!!!!
Can barely understand her and she grades really badly, if you did not show work then she will give you a 0 for the whole thing. Horrible teacher worst I have ever had dont take her class save yourself
I was impressed by Professor Kallarackal's knowledge of math. That being said, she was not the best math teacher. I spent countless hours studying, yet I was still struggling. Therefore, I emailed her asking for assistance, study tips, or anything else to raise my grade. She never replied to any of my messages. The course itself was decent.
She's knowledgeable about math and is good at explaining during lectures, but no matter how much I studied, I still struggled hard on her test and barely managed to pass. Doing the ALECKS homework was also very difficult because the questions were much more complex than the ones we did in class.
This is HCC. Why are you upholding yourself as if this is Harvard? She doesn't drop any exams and you must show your work and your calculator TO THE CAMERA on lockdown browser+monitor, or you risk a grade of a 0. Her attitude is a bit degrading towards students because she holds herself on a pedestal. DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO PASS.
She has a heavy accent, stubborn, and is a tough grader. Do your part and show up to class, and you'll be fine.
take a million notes and study a LOT. that's the only way to survive.
Tough class, but the professor is surprisingly patient. Engage with the material and use resources like Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook - it really helps with the challenging exams. Just don't expect an easy A.
having to pay for external websites instead of just using canvas defeats the point of community college.also if you dont already know the math then your not gonna make through this class
Just... no.. I took online anytime so I basically taught myself. No understanding. COld-hearted, Barely answers emails. No make-ups if you miss an exam for any reason. Luckily I didn't.. Regret not taking another professor. Exams on lockdown with little time to complete. And she watches you. Just..... no. DONT TAKE HER
Ineffective teacher, I only got an A because I was already familiar with the math. Her exams do not match the homework and quiz, the assignments she gives do not help prepare you for exams which make up the bulk of the grade. I highly, HIGHLY recommend taking calculus with literally ANY OTHER PROFESSOR you will learn better and will do better.
You are not able to pass or excel in this class without prior calculus 2 knowledge. And this is a calculus 2 class. I promise you, unless you have money to throw away avoid taking her in person at all costs. AT all costs. I created an account just for this professor. I cannot believe she has been teaching for over 30 years.
She is truly inspirational and makes even challenging math concepts feel approachable. Their lectures are always engaging and well-organized, making it easy to follow along lectures. They provide clear grading criteria upfront, so you always know what to expect, and they're generous with extra credit opportunities to help boost your grade.
She is so rude to students never answers emails or canvas inbox messages. Lied in the syllabus about dropping one of the exam grades don't teach nothing to her students. When she does respond to emails and canvas messages very rude and not understanding of the students. Don't take this class with her find another professor. HORRIBLEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Teaching style is learning everything on your own without helping you if your struggling. Don't respond to emails or canvas messages. I wouldn't recommend taking this course with this professor if you aren't already good at math.
Amazing! Everyone in the class who needed to take Calc 2 took her again! That just says it all. She goes through lots of practice and does not give surprise questions on exams, she does give short notice for quizzes though. Don't take her online, she says it herself she is more difficult online, so take her in person. She gives loads of bonus marks
Shes one of those “default” professors. Unfortunately, nothing about her lectures stand out, as shes very NPC who only goes by the book and doesn't add any expression or opinion of her own. Mid lectures and doesn't bother to write on the big ass white board 2 steps in front of her. She'd prefer to try and fit 100 equation on one word document, df!?
Prof K. was chill and I took her for Fall 24. Her class wasn't too difficult but she does assign hw which you cannot make up if you accidentally sleep, same for quizzes in class. She never responds to email so good luck, but if you can fully understand the hw/review, you'll pass exams. She randomly gives extra credit but it's 1-2 points on a test.
If you're the type to not pay attention in class and study the topics by yourself and get good grades on the exams, then this class is not for you. She's one of the professors that gives way too many quizzes and treats each one as a mini exam.+She does not care about your circumstances, in her own words “I'm not sympathetic , so don't try emailing”
She lectures like she's an MIT professor, ignoring students and acting superior. A or B is extremely hard to get, no matter how much effort you put in. Doesn't listen, doesn't engage. (Her personality is honestly the worst part cold, distant, and careless!) Avoid if possible. Also, she unfairly takes off points in exams without clear explanation.
This class is extremely difficult, with overly detailed and unfair exams. The professor is very strict about grades, gives no extra credit, and offers no flexibility. There are quizzes almost every day. Earning credit in this course is nearly impossible. I do not recommend it.
Syllabus only listed the first and final exam dates for an online anytime class. Other tests weren't announced until ~24 hrs before the test date. If she hasn't been clinically evaluated yet her extreme paranoia of cheating, she honestly should be. I could go on but I think the rest of the reviews are your clue. Don't take her.
would not recommend, you'll be in hell.
Tests are so heavy and have nothing to do with the reviews. Homework has the question she does not even cover in her lecture and tests are just like the homework. If u want to make good grade prepare from homework. Also does not help students to Make good grades. Does not reply to emails. Hard to get good grades.
Would announce quizzes taken from the last chapter after we already took the test. Rude overall. Accused me of cheating. Threatened to report a student because SHE didn't take the time to reply to their email. Does not reply to any emails at all.
Took her class for Fall 2025 semester, then withdrew. Overall unprofessional and has made rude comments to the people that came in to see her during her office hours. She is incredibly paranoid of cheating and will prioritize her energy into cheating prevention instead of focusing on anything else. Did not respond to emails for the most part.
Don't take this class else you will regreat for sure
SHES NOT INSPIRATIONAL OR THE BEST OUT THERE, PEOPLE ARE LYING TO YOU. I dont know how she does with physical classes, but her online classes are the worst. She doesnt give extra credit, cares more about you cheating than the exam. Asks for working for exams, but never checks it, never replies to emails. Extremely rude! DONT TAKE HER!
ABSOLUTE WORST OUT THERE. JUST RUN IM TELLIN YOU, JUST RUN! IF YOU DONT HAVE A CHOICE, JUST SKIP CAL FOR THAT SEMESTER. Shes that bad, honestly when i started the semester I thought with the good reviews, she might be alright, but as soon as the first exam came by. SHE SHOWED WHO SHE REALLY IS. DONT CARE ABOUT YOU, CARES ABOUT CHEATING, THATS ALL
Good Professor explains things well, if you take decent notes do the homework and exam reviews you will be ok. I have taken algebra, trig, and pre-cal at HCC, and this professor has been the best math professor i've had.
Never seen such a cruel professor.
