She's evil and mean! The class is soo hard, you can barely understand her and she's super super hard on tests

It's funny how when I took the class before hers with a diff teacher I got an A. When I took her class I got a C. I just finished this term with a different teacher and got an A again. She was horrible. Her tests were nothing that she said would be on the test. She moves fast and gets irritated if you need the info repeated. Choose diff teache

SHE WAS HORRIBLE! JUST BECAUSE SHE IS NICE DOESN'T MEAN THAT SHE KNOWS HOW TO TEACH! THE TESTS ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE HOMEWORK AND THE THINGS SHE GOES OVER IN CLASS. ON ONE TEST I GOT A 64 EVEN THOUGH ALL MY ANSWERS WERE RIGHT, AND I SHOWED MY WORK BUT IT WASN'T HER WAY OF DOING THE WORK. I FAILED THIS CLASS AND IM A MATH MAJOR!

DISGUSTING. Speaks poor English, and does not know how to teach. This woman will lose your assignments and accuse you of not doing them, she will grade exams INCORRECTLY and NOT CARE, and if you ask a question during her lecture she will ASK YOU TO LEAVE. This person needs to be TERMINATED from the UofA Staff IMMEDIATELY. Awful person inside & out.

Could not understand her becouse of her extreme accent (broken English). If I cannot understand a Professor, I cannot be successful in learning. If you don't need to understand the professor to learn, then this is the Professor for you.

One of the hardest teachers ever. I came in to college at calc III and thought about doing a math major but she made me hate math. Her tests were incredibly hard and weren't over any of the stuff she covered in class. I've compared my tests to other students and theirs were much easier. Try a different professor.

I had her for Trig. She was probably the worst teacher I've ever had. I re-took this class to try to get a better grade, yeah, that didn't happen. She basically made it our fault if we didn't understand the classwork. Plus she is hard to understand and talks really fast, which makes it impossible to understand her.

She is a terrible teacher and does not speak any English. Do not take her!!!!

She is a horrible teacher. Do not take this class if you care about your grades. She doesn't speak English well. Tests are hard and do not have to do with what was covered in class. Even if you have the right answer, she takes points off of your work if it is not done the way she wants you to do it. That also means no skipping steps.

Decent material explained in the most complicated, ridiculous way. She should be fired.

Get out of this class! She is awful because she is so unclear. Even if you get the right answers on a test, but the work isn't the way she wanted it to be, you'll get the whole question wrong.

Instructor is difficult to understand (she said English is her 4th language- good for her, bad for you). As others said, she is strict, however I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, especially in math. The bad thing is that she is terrible at explaining what she is doing and telling you what you need to know. Knowledgeable but BAD teacher.

So to start off the class she skipped the first section. Which we just kept building upon, as if she just expected us to know it. Occurrences like this aren't rare either. On top of that you feel like not asking questions because she's very rude and harsh to her students. Honestly Teachers like her make me want to switch majors.

Worse teacher i have ever had, does not help you or respect you at all. Does not show anything well or give good examples. She is rude, and harsh. Hard to understand, grades hard. Does not teach well at all. took the class again with another professor and did so much better, so her teaching was not effective.

Hard to understand her, even if you get past the accent her grammar is terrible. Nit picky grader on homework and very difficult tests.

Ewa was a very interesting instructor. She seems to talk about students mistakes during every lesson, and assumes you automatically know the steps she uses in calculation. Don't bother asking questions, she'll say you should already know the material. I've also seen minor mistakes, like a +C in integration, be up to a five percent test differenece.

Beware she is not a believer in partial credit. And considering how she grades, you have cause to be afraid my friend. But never fear just make sure to take a different professors class. Like weight a semester if you have too.

Ewa assumes that her students already know most of the material and is horrible at answering questions. A student will ask her something and she blatantly ignores the question and starts going on about something else. Honestly, I learned nothing in this class and her teaching styles are awful. If you have a choice, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES.

She doesn't teach you half of what is on the homework and is a very picky grader. You can demonstrate that you know the material but she'll still take off points for irrelevant things (such as not simplifying a fraction), and wants things done exactly her way, but isn't clear about that until your grade is already messed up because of it.

If you are taking vector cal, just don't take her class unless you are super confident in math. sometimes she even wont give you a study guide for test. if she gives you a study guide, do not trust it, because the test is just not about it. she can teach very well. making all things clear. however, the test were just so hard. "broke heart" hard!

this teacher is terrible. unclearly accent, small words on keyboard and terrible attitude. she does not give u exact answers. and she wants you write what she wanna. u cannot pass this class.

She was very tough grader. Class was really tough. I ended up withdrawing. She is hard to understand and very fast paced. Quite intimidating as well; classroom did not seem welcoming. As always, be confident in algebra skills before taking any calculus especially with her

Her class is very easy but she's a ____ and grades hard so simple mistakes will cost you letter grades. Good luck!

She basically hands us a packet and says have fun. She does not explain the material and when the test happens everybody fails and we get ridiculed. Nothing about her teaching style is good. If you are enrolled in a class with her. You should switch now.

Just don't. went from getting 100's on math exams to totally bombing. No concept explanations, just instruction on how wrong we are for not knowing things. Switch classes or drop unless you already know everything in the class.

Very awful teacher, honestly could say that she was the worstt teacher Ive had. Didnt teach topics in vector calculus well at all. Was very hard to understand as well because of her heavy accent. Just overall, horrible experience with her as my teacher. I recommend you try your best not to have her as your teacher. You will thank me!

Rude professor, grades extremely harsh. Even after going to office hours twice a week, she was not helpful and still made tests noticeably hard and took half off of problems for singular algebra errors (and too many points off for notation). Handwriting is very difficult to read and writes NO! with NO explanation on wrong answers. DON'T TAKE HER!!!

Her personality will grow on you but she will always find points to take off even if you get the answers right which is so awesome!

Do not take her class. She will take half points off for small mistakes or notation even when you get the right answer. Came into this class getting all A's in 120r and somehow now getting a C with the same level of effort put in. The average on each test for the class was around a C or low B. Honestly don't know how she gives anyone an A.STAY AWAY

If you have the option to take the class with any other professor, please do so. She's an extremely harsh grader. Even if you get the correct answer using the correct method, you will have points marked off due to 'not using correct notation.' Extremely difficult class, and I only passed due to a generous curve at the end from the department.

please take another professor if you can, she will make you fail

This professor really understands her stuff but does not communicate it well to her students. Very harsh grader and makes it virtually impossible to succeed in her class. Will make sure to find something in your work to mark off. On top of harsh grading she can be hard to understand. All of my classmates feel the same way and could lose scholarship

Awful prof. She is so condescending and literally everyone in my class failed. If you want any chance of passing, switch out of her or better yet take it somewhere else. By far the worst prof I have ever had. Genuinely does not want you to succeed. Test averages were in the 40s.

This was one of the worst professors I have ever had in my life. She is beyond condescending and only failed her class alone because she was not willing to help me when I needed it. instead she only belittled students intelligence on the subject. Do not recommend taking her class.

Worst math teacher I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. She is unable to write in a straight line. Whenever she would teach instead of May Yeap, I would simply decide to read the textbook or work on Webassign instead, as paying attention in class would only confuse me more. This class was a battle. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her.

This was by far the worst professor I've ever had. She is a very tough grader and will only accept your work if it's exactly the way she teaches it. The homework isn't as helpful as you would think. The only extra credit she offers isn't even extra credit, it's just in class assignments. Don't even try asking for help because she will put you down.

condescending, grabbed a students calculator and told the class it was pathetic we “clung onto them for safety.” no one speaks up to answer her questions because she WILL let you know that your mistake is laughable. Told us pre calc was basic baby 2nd grader math. she expects you to know the entire course material before even taking the class.

Barley lectured and expected you to know everything. Pretty much instead of teaching us why we do certain things she just gave us papers and told us to do them.

Definitely the worst Proffesor I've ever had, after the 2nd midterm she said "does 50% seem like a good grade?" Only 1 guy on that midterm finished early and by early I mean 2 minutes before time was up. Then she proceeds to not give us a curve and tells us to call our parents if they're paying for our college to say that we are gonna fail. so run

Avoid this professor at all costs. Beyond condescending, and will laugh at you if you answer a problem incorrectly. She told our class that 2nd graders could do this math and that we were basically stupid. She will give you a 0 on a problem even if you do the work correctly and get the wrong answer. Take math with anyone but her for your own good.

Horrible teacher. She doesn't seem like cares for her students and their success at all. The other reviews here are completely correct. She's very condescending, and rarely actually helps. She makes things very complicated, and really no one did well on the exams. Only reason I enrolled with her is because the other classes were full. Avoid!!!

She is nice but I wouldn't recommend her class. She grades harshly, expects you to know material without fully teaching it, gives little time for in-class assignments, doesn't explain mistakes, and offers very little partial credit.

Doesn't teach material very well if at all - expects you to already know most of it. She mainly just writes it on the board and expects you to understand. Very tough grader - does not give any partial credit and is not very understanding when it comes to the paper homework. Overall I'd avoid at all costs.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! Ewa is a horrible instructor. Her lectures are incredibly difficult to follow, and she doesn't provide feedback on exams to ANY EXTENT. She's very rude to students, loves to gloat, and often makes mistakes in her notes. If you get stuck with Ewa, prepare to teach yourself everything outside of class and expect NO help.

expected to know things that SHE was supposed to be teaching you. Grading was very harsh. If things were not done the way that she wanted them to be done it was automatically wrong even if the answers were correct. NEVER gave any feedback, just wrote a question mark. Overall don't take this class unless you want to fail.

told me to change my major
