The assigments are very easy - only one problem a week, 2 hours online of studying a week, and replying to posts. She is a bit picky about stupid things and sometimes scatter brained, but tries to be helpful.

shows she interested. Gives help but she is very hard and does not care about failing grades

I loved Mrs. Hopf. Compared to the other MAT 0024 professors; she was clearly the best. She is there for you as much as a woman with many math classes can be, but her notes are clear and concise, she is willing to help you but it's up to YOU to do the work. She is not there to baby you, but I passed the class with an A. I recommend her by FAR!

shes a great techer. she takes the time to make sure you understand everything

At first she seems like a hard professor but as the semester rolls on, you come to like her more and more. She gives extra points sometimes and drops your lowest test grade and 2 lowest quiz grades. SHE SPEAKS ENGLISH!!!!

She was really helpful, I passed, and I'm not good in math at all. I hate math, but she really wants her students to pass so she reviews before test and that helped me pass.

This ain't easy but she helps you understand when in a small class setting so muchbetter than any teacher I've ever had. very peppy so be prepared to encounter a chick on the go all the time. But good teacher.

I HATE math and I suck at it. But I ended up passing this class with flying colors! You do have to apply yourself though, she's not very helpful answering questions in class, but if you visit her before or after she explains it thoroughly making sure you get it. Make sure to do your computer assignments as well (ALEKS and MathZone).

I dont know what everyone else is talking about, she is a great teacher to me, she helps alot and does explain the work, despite what people have said on here, all the ones that are complaining are probably the ones that failed or didnt go to class

I thought she was great, helpful, clear, her tests were straight forward and fair. Plenty of room to boost grade with easy online components.

Hopf was a nice lady. I had her online section and i loved the class. Just make sure youre the type of person who is dedicated. The exams were a little harder than expected. Online hw, 2 on campus tests, online tests, group work postings, Project, and optional book hw. Good class

Online components are important, do them and you will boost your grade easily. Tests vary, just study and you should do okay. The final is actually pretty easy, but go to class because she is excellent at explaining the material.

when i first got her i hated her but discovered she's a really nice woman. although she can be a bit tough to put up with (treating students like elementary kids) she has good intentions. she's willing to help you and that in my opinion is extremely important.

Before you take this course, understand that the subject itself is difficult. If you come to class without even cracking the book you will be completely lost. Mrs. Hopf does her best to explain things, but unless you've done the homework for the next day's lecture, it's a shot in the dark. Do eduspace, and do the bookwork!

She is actually a really good professor. The most effort I have EVER seen a professor put in! She gives tons of examples, posts LOTS of different resources as extra tools for learning. After every major test (there are 3) she even gives back the test and allows students to correct their mistakes for extra credit. Attendance mandatory taken by clic

Good teacher. If you go to class,do eduspace, and go to test reviews you will get a good grade. Only 4 tests incldng final.Uses clickers for attendance.TAs are really good!

A teacher who really cares. I think that she has very good and interesting lectures. Keys to getting a good grade in this class: do extra problems, do not move on to the next concept until you have mastered the first one, hope for a good TA;Toby Tiller is the best, they make all the difference, care about the class, WORK HARD! Good Luck

It's what you put into it!

Online class is the best! You must have discipline. Do not take her in class but online. I loved the online class. If I would have put more time in this class, I could have gotten an "A", even though I suck at math.

Despite what everyone says this is the best teacher I have ever had!She is kind and helpful to anyone that does not disrupt her class and she always stays after the lecture to help anyone who doesn't understand the math.The only downside is you can't make up any tests but she drops your lowest score so if you miss a test,that is your dropped score.

she not a bad teacher. She explains. A LOT. That's her only problem. She's CONSTANTLY talking but it's only because she wants to make herself clear. Class reminds me of high school. It's not hard unless u just suck at or hate math.

I SUCK even at the easiest problems when it comes to math,but in her Finite Math class I managed to get a B+. Despite what some ppl say, she really cares about her students. She explains things thoroughly 4 people like me who dont always get it the first time. If u print out her powerpnts ahead of time and follow along in class, u'll have no prob.

I had Professor Hopf for College Algebra. She's an okay professor. She spends the first half of class trying to get the clicker technology to work. So she speeds through the lectures. My Math Lab along with her notes do give you an understanding. Final exam is HARD!!! Be warned. She's a sweet teacher and will help you if you need it.

She means well, but she explains the same things over and over again. I think she would be better in a smaller class. Also, the notes she provides are not that helpful. If it was not for the book I would not be passing the class.

DON'T TAKE! Class mandatory because of clickers. In class should would go over the easy problems and not the hard ones. Never used the book, homework was online. Spent most of class talking about what was planned for the week and not going over material. Very boring class.

Mrs.Hopf is a very nice lady. Her class is pretty simple too. It does suck cause you have to go to class even when you learn about perimeter just to get the clicker grade, but she does drop 6 of those grades. The homework was way harder than the tests. Her tests were extremely fair. The only thing i didnt like was the statistic project we did at th

This class is extremely straightfoward with a day to day sylabus. She drops the six lowest homeworks and six lowest clicker grades (there is only like 26 of them). Friday class you do an easy one page worksheet and review the materail. If the class does poorly on the test, the next test she will put a few questions on there to help boost the grades

Huge class, but she is always willing to help in her office hours. Make sure you get 100% on all HW on my math lab. Do ALL log in hours for the 4 week review. She drops a few grades, but make sure you do the HW on My math lab BEFORE the worksheets.It really helps on the quiz's every friday. Go to class to boost clicker grade.

Her class is truly designed so you can pass. Do all the homework and the worksheets before the quiz and you'll get an easy A. you don't use the book that much, or at least I never did. SHe drops a couple grades, and if you have get good grades from the quiz, homework and worksheet, then you don't really need clicker points, but they do help a ton!

So shes really nice and tries to satisfy everyone so that can be REALLY annoying, but the class is very easy and definitely designed so you can pass with flying colors. Take it if you want to pass College Algebra.

Prof. Hopf was the best. She is extremely fair and always willing to help. There is a reason her classes have the highest passing rate on exams. I definitely recommend taking her if you can, it was very rewarding and nice to have a class i did not have to worry about. she gives a lot of work but it is so you do great on the tests, always gives

Material isn't too hard. She can be difficult to understand at times and the clicker grades get annoying because then you have to go to class. Overall, I guess I would recommend her.

I took this class online and it was pretty easy. As long as you practice for the exams and do the homework, I don't see how anyone couldn't pass. She always asks how she could be more helpful and follows through with suggestions and was quick to help solve a problem over email. Very nice lady, I definitely recommend the online version.

This is an easy class as long as you go to every single classes because she uses the clicker all the times, and she's a really nice professor. I highly recommend you to do the textbook question before you do the webassign homework, and you will be just fine.

Very good teacher, thoughtful and loves to help people out. If you do the work and ask for help when needed you will do very well. Plenty of extra credit available too, A+ teacher!

I took her online class after failing College Algebra with McAveety. It was all online on MyMathLab aside from a few campus exams. It was easy enough the second time through. Her videos are very straightforward.

She is a great teacher. She makes it fun to learn! She gives clicker questions a lot so don't miss class, but I found the class helpful! I recommend her!

I only took this class because I needed it for FKLs. I am really satisfied. The class is more logical thinking than math, and Ms. Hopf gives you all the tools you need. Sometimes the mandatory attendance is annoying, but you have to go because there are always clicker questions. I would recommend this class and this professor.

Professor Hopf is awesome, I absolutely HATE math and the way the class was set up allowed me to succeed. I wouldn't miss lecture days because those clicker grades will help your final grade. Also, don't not do your homework (it really boosts your grade at the end of the year).

Good professor, I hate math, but she really helped me understand the subject. She cares about how well her students do and is very genuine.

Pretty good lecturer.

She is always happy to help out students! Math is not my subject but I was able to get an A in her class! Highly Recommended!!! TA's are also very helpful! Quizzes are taken online and you can try them 3 times, you get 2 tries for the tests as well!

Attendance is only mandatory if you want to earn clicker points, which are 8% of the final grade. There is an opportunity for extra credit at the end of each chapter as well as for taking a practice final exam. Most of the actual learning occurs through watching her tutorial videos and using the MyMathLab program.

First off, I failed this class. However, it was of MY own doing. I didn't apply myself enough and I gave up around week 12. She was actually one of the better math teachers I've ever had, it can get a little tough to understand the material sometimes but the videos definitely help and the T.A.s are actually very helpful.

She's pretty good. She really wants you to succeed. PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS AND TO THE HOMEWORK. The stuff in college algebra is everything you learned in highschool math, but that doesn't mean you can slack off. I did and as a result I missed out on an A.

Very nice and helpful lady. Attendance is mandatory for clicker points. Homework is easy. Tests were always related to homework but the problems were changed a lot, making them hard. The old tests she post are similar to the actual tests. Definitely study them. Easy B for sure.

She's the sweetest lady ever. And this class is so easy with the smart lab! Attendance is mandatory for clicker points... I slacked off a little bit towards the end which is why I didn't get an A, but I personally think she's the best college algebra teacher at USF. I failed this class last semester with mcwaters but got a B this time around.

I took this class online. Although I have never meet her I can tell she is very kind and is sincerely concerned with her students progress. There is weekly HW and Quizzes! But the bright side is you have 3 attempts on the quizzes. She gives extra credit, provides video, and is very helpful. She is simply cogenial professor.

Great class and very helpful professor. She is excited about teaching and into the material so it makes learning fun. I just took this course over summer and passed easily. Clickers are used every class and Smart Lab is required. Take this professor!

The professors is good, she tried to make something new in class by making team clicker questions but it was very complicated, these questions were really difficult and can't be solved. The only reason i go to the lecture is the clicker questions grade. All learning happens in Smart Lab. I was thankful i took it on summer for 6 weeks only.

This class was helpful when learning the basics. The lecture is a good guideline to all of the homework and quizzes/tests that are on My Math Lab. Go to class for the clicker questions. She does like to change how she teaches quite frequently to try to accommodate her students, sometimes too frequently though. Don't need the book.

The only reason you show up to the lectures is because clicker questions and group assignments. I honestly haven't learned anything from her in person lectures, but I do learn from her online lectures but mostly through my math lab. I think her lectures are kinda pointless, and it sucks if the people in your group are lazy.

Professor Hopf is a very nice lady and seems like she really wants her students to succeed. Her class is easy, make sure you go to class to earn clicker points!, as well as attend the SMART Lab hours and you should do great. I got an A even though math is my worst subject but the Math Lab Plus program helped a lot!

Very good professor. Her reviews were often like her tests. She also gives you up to 2 extra points on your average by completing practice tests. The only bad thing about this class was that all tests and HW were run through MLP, but all math classes at USF use that program.

Professor Hopf, although occasionally scattered was a great professor. Her reviews for the exams helped me a lot. Redo all your hw & quizzes and you can do fair (B--A-) on the exams and still get an A. The team activities are pointless and sucked but the clickers are nice because they will help your grade. Don't buy the book.

Her class is basically learning everything on your own, although she is very helpful when you need it. Classes are basically a review of what you learned on your own. Nice lady overall. Need to go to classes for clicker grade

Hopf is just a great teacher!

This was my 2nd MAC class with Dr. Hopf. She will avail herself to help you- just don't wait to reach out to her!! She gives many chances for extra credit as well. That said, there was no lecture content from her in this class. (There was in 1105.) MLP, which is part of the course, has helpful videos and Khan academy is always great for clarity.

I like how this professor readily responded to the questions I asked using the MLP feature. That meant alot to me. Since it was online, alot of the work was basically MLP. Easy A if you set time to do the work. This was the 2nd and last time I took MAC1105. Im glad I choose Hopf and online because it shes a good professor and no lectures

I loved it. I would definitely take again if I were you.

Online is by far the smartest way to go. It is almost impossible to fail this class because the online homework, quizzes, practice tests, etc. have multiple attempts, even the exams lol. If you understand the practice exams, you'll be completely fine. Hopf is very speedy when answering emails as well and will try to help as much as she can.

Cares about your grade. If you email her, she will help you directly. Has online sessions and individually calls on you. Explains problems very well

I wouldn't say she's the best professor but also not the worst. Took her online and it was manageable. She offers 0.02 extra credit for each assignment turned in on time and with a grade over 70%. It doesn't seem like much but it is. You can retake her exams twice and all quizzes have unlimited attempts. It's time consuming but really hard to fail.

I missed an exam and emailed her 20 mins before the makeup and she let me take it like a true queen. Saved my whole grade, love her.
