Because I tested into a higher math I thought the online class would be easy, but it was a pain. The program often had problems that relied on one another and if you got one wrong, then you got them all wrong. The teacher dropped some of the lowest scores which was nice, but I would highly recommend sucking it up and taking a math class in person.

Mrs. Sleiman was not a clear professor. During class, she would copy the same exact examples given in the e-book, which for the most part, did not help with solving the homework problems.

Course was very easy. We got two attempts at the final and we got to go back in to raise our homework grades up until the last week of school.

Professor Sleiman is willing to help you, i took her for MAT117 so the course mainly revolved on ALEKS. But shes there to help you with any doubt, theres also TAs that help. Class is easy, no textbook required, and as a average person in math the test are not hard. She provides study guides that are very similar to the actual test.

All online, do everything yourself. Lectures are powerpoint slides so if you learn math by watching the teacher do examples do not take this class. I would suggest taking a professor that does zoom classes or in person because if math is not your strong suit this class and you do not want to study for hours and hours it will be challenging.

If you would like to learn absolutely nothing about the lesson and have your speakers blown out then you should definitely listen to her lectures. I would spend 3-5 hours on each assignment and study for 10+ hours and I got Fs on the first two test so I withdrew from the course I am a straight As honors student and have never dropped a class.

This is the worst class I have ever taken. Many other people who are in calc right now are not facing the difficulties this professor brings to this class. I have never done bad in a class before until her. Her lectures are awful and she shows you how to do nothing and just reads off slides. Avoid this professor at all costs.

Professor Sleiman is a god send! I failed MAT210 last semester and read her reviews which lead me to her class this spring. I am passing with an A right now and I suck at math. While there is a good amount of homework, she wants everyone to pass exams! Before each exam she releases practice tests and most questions come directly from those. 100/10!

Not going to lie, it is pretty easy to cheat your way through her online courses. However, there was a time that MyLab Math (what all of her homework is posted on) was not working for a couple weeks for several of her students and her emailed response to me was basically "that sucks, it works for me so figure it out". Otherwise she's alright.

Exam questions are picked directly from the practice quizzes and you are allowed a sheet of notes. On top of that, 1 of the 4 exams is dropped completely. Sleiman was accommodating when I needed an extension for health problems, and provided an extension longer than the one I requested. If you hate or fear math, I recommend Sleiman!

All resources available, she gives you extra resources and time to go back and improve your scores on hw. You CAN bring notes into tests and tests are based on practice quizzes.

Mrs. Sleiman is an okay professor. I took her class online so her lectures were basically just her reading off the notes sheet - not super helpful. Tests make up 75% of your grade so make sure you do good on those if you want a good grade. Also, lots of homework which is what helped me learn the material way more than her lectures.
