the way she structured the class made it easy, but found that it encouraged bad habits that didn't make the material stick. the way it was setup was that all exams are taken from the hw and the final is based off the exams. so going into any test you have a good, if not exact, idea of what's on it. ended up memorizing problems and learning little.

Mrs. Fasman is not the best math teacher. Its hard to follow at times because its as if shes in her own world solving the math problem. When she finishes the problem she asks the class if we understand but mostly nobody want to say anything cause the way she do the problems really put u to sleep

first few weeks into the semester i hated this professor. she gave out loads of homework, has a thick accent and also taught very fast. But get on her good side (which is very easy) and she'll grade your test way more lenient. she also helps you with problems while you're taking test/finals!!!

Pros: You learn fast. Test answers are EXTREMELY similar to the homework. Cons: No talking. Serious teacher who's "funny" at times. She writes in chalk from the left, all the way to the right. (very hard to see if you're blind like me or if you sit on the side). Hand writing is a 3 out of 5. The accent doesn't bother me. Tips: Front/Center seat

You'll never stress out about tests in this class. Lenient on attendance/tardiness. Accent=fine. Class structure is highly unconventional; b/c of this, I don't recommend her for the "average" student. Her way of teaching promotes bad study habits, so BE REALISTIC and don't let the allure of an "easy A" blind you from making an informed decision.

I math comes easy then this is the class for you. She does go off on a tangent at times but in order to cover a wide area of information on a short period of time. People claim that she assigns too much homework but if you just do it throughout the week and not just the two days you're in class then it's a lot easier.

Prof. Fasman runs a tight shift in her class; she demands respect and has no problem speaking her mind. Pre-Cal is a very fast-paced class (12 chapters over 16 weeks), but she keeps it structured and manageable. Tests are fair, and she's a very fair test grader. She rarely seems to answer the question you ask the first time, but is very helpful.

She gives homework nightly but doesn't grade until the day of the test. Test material is the EXACT same as homework. She will even help you on the test. No quizzes or projects. Usually lets you out early, and I mean early. Doesn't email when she cancels class and she does have an accent but you can still understand her. Offers plenty of help.

The worst class I have ever taken, and I'm not just saying that because it is a math class but I'm saying it because this teacher is horrible. Whenever students would ask for clarification or help she would either be disrespectful or be very unclear. It seems like she's just reading off notes and doesn't explain and go in depth about the concepts.

Before taking this class you should pay attention to why the average grade is an A but the level of understanding for many of the students sounds so low. Her tests are similar to the hw so it's easy to get by without learning much. Unless you're already willing to spend a lot of extra time to teach yourself the material, would not recommend.

Her class is VERY hard. I am NOT a math person and I struggled a lot. She covers a lot of material over a very short time (3 chapters in a 1 hour class period).

Professor Fasman is the best math professor I've ever had-and I'm really bad at math. No quizzes and some of the tests were even take-home. Went fast in the beginning but slowed down and actually wants and cares about her students passing. If I could take her for all of my math classes in College I would. BUT, have to stay on all of the HW.

Professor Fasman assigns about 300 hw problems a week and only worth 5% of your grade. Her tests are ridiculously hard and if you get one little thing wrong she takes off -10, meaning she gives no partial points. Lectures fast, has a thick accent, and always covers the board and erases too quickly. She is also rude when students ask her questions.

Professor Fasman is very passionate and she totally changed how I perceived math. She assigns a lot of homework but if you want an A, simply set aside a number of homework hours a week and stick to it. If you are lucky and she has an assistant for your class, go to their hours! I will certainly be looking out for her classes in the future

I believe she is a fantastic teacher in-class but she is inexperienced with online learning. Be ready to teach yourself a lot of the curriculum, but if you're dedicated you will pass. She takes a while to respond to emails, but be patient. She will only use 3 exams and 1 final to determine your grade, thus ensure you study well for them.

Prof. Fasman has been my worst online lecturer by far. She links sub-par material for review and learning, videos are outdated and poorly produced. In addition to this, she has no videos of her own. Your grade is decided upon: The three exams 75% and the cumulative final accounting for 25%. She answers all emails around midnight. Lazy professor...

I took the Math 120/20 combo course and while it was asynchronous i really liked it. She posts the tentative schedule for both classes and tells you when the quizzes will be due. She posts the quizzes and you print them out and complete them. There is a total of 5 quizzes each class plus a final exam. Homework is also not required to be turned in.

I particularly enjoyed this professor. Your grade is based on your effort (doing notes, hw). HW is not collected. You print out the exam and do it at home with a 4 day time window to do it. This makes it a lot easier to focus on your test and not feel like time is against you. Be prepared to really practice the material from the lectures.
