First off, math is not my strong point. But being in Prof. Valderrama's class has improved my confidence in math! She is very kind, doesn't move the lesson on too fast without making sure everyone understands, and she is available in-office after class! Please take her class and you won't regret it!

I absolutely hated math until I took math with Frida Valderrama Perez. She explains concepts in different ways to help you understand and she ALWAYS helps students after class.

I personally did not like her. I felt like her notes were all over the place. IF you walked in the class and seen her notes on the board, you would not understand because it did not make sense. I did not like her teaching. Her study guide do not help. She needs to keep practicing how to teach if that make sense.

Do not take her if you have a class straight after hers! Make her class the last one. Goes over the time limit she has. Does go over homework. Literally helps you on the test. Over explains and doesnt explain much. No in-between. Makes you read in class. Makes you do problems by yourself. Only gives you 1 minute to do the problem

Professor Perez was absolutely amazing!! As a student who has never loved math, I was astounded by the simplicity with which professor taught - making everything so understandable. Homework was very reasonable, we were properly prepared for exams by means of study guides, and our professor was always ready to help! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!

I found Professor Valderrama to be extremely responsive and clear in her instruction. As someone who has never been good in math, I expected to dread this class - but Professor Valderrama made it fun and I actually ended up enjoying the assignments. They were interesting, applicable to the real world, and easily understood.

Professor Valderrama is truly amazing. As someone who was never good at math, I walked out of her class with an A. She is so friendly and willing to help you until you fully understand the concepts. The online homework program allows for unlimited homework retakes and two chances for quizzes and exams, so getting a good grade is more than possible.

Professor Frida is one of the best professors I have ever seen in my life, I found her class very meaningful and interesting. She is very patient and the class moves at a moderate pace. my advice is to make sure you do your prep work, be on time for class, and complete your homework on time. It's not hard to get an A in this class.

Mrs. Frida is a very good professor. She teaches her lectures in quiz form, so be aware to pay attention! There is homework everyday and there are 2 projects. At the end of the lecture there is a quiz to take. I will say to take notes of everything in the lectures because it will be needed in your homework and it will be shown in the exams.

Professor Valderrama was so incredibly patient with me all semester. I turned in assignments and quizzes late all of the time because I was really struggling with my health. She never once asked why I needed extension she just did it out of the kindness of her heart. I'm not sure if she even liked me but, she made sure I passed the class anyway.

She is also very caring and understanding if life happens and you have to miss class or miss a homework assignment. I would take this professor again! 10/10

If you take this course either during the summer or winter, be prepared for assignments daily but if you're consistent enough with doing your work on time then this class will be doable for you.

Professor Frida Valderrama Perez is a very understanding teacher who makes it easy to succeed if you stay on top of the work. She drops the lowest scores in each category, and participation is an easy but heavily weighted part of your grade. Pay close attention to the exam reviews because they are very similar to the actual tests.

I used to really struggle in Math, but Valderrama made things easy to understand and made me feel comfortable to reach out if I had any questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you don't understand because she does call on people at random, but she always helps if you don't get something. Super nice professor I really enjoyed being in class.

Mrs. Valderrama is an incredible math teacher and extremely patient with those who do not understand. Although her was was easy, be prepared to do a lot of work. Participation is key as well.

I was intimidated by this class as I am awful at math but the the lessons here, mostly done via Pearson, really help you to learn the material with ease. There's multiple assignments due every week, but it's very manageable as long as you don't procrastinate. Believe me, if someone with limited math skills such as myself can do it you can as well.
