In the beginning I liked her a lot but a member of my family got sick and she was NOT understanding of my situation at all. I only missed a few classes and she failed me.

She is great! I took 2 classes with her and I got A in both classes. She gives lots of homework but this is how you get an A in the class. She explains everything clearly. She is a little bit tough, but she respects students! I wish I could take more classes with her.

All you need to do is all your MathXL homework. All the tests are generated off of MathXL so you basically know your test grade if you did a practice test. Come to class on time and dont try to skip more than 2 times because people fail lol. She gives out a lot of extra credit, so just go up to the board(she gives u points for just going up there).

Professor has useless lecture times. Class time is not related to whats going to be on the exam. If you can self teach yourself and have previous knowledge of precalc, then take this class. If you need a professor to actually teach you, this isn't the class for you. Its a hard A but its possible if you are responsible with MathXL. Time Consuming.

shes a really nice person, but when it comes to asking questions she kinda makes you feel stupid for even asking the question. the lectures are fast past so if math isn't your #1 topic i don't recommend taking her because once you fall behind, there is no coming back.

A good Professor, she knows how to teach math and make it simple. All tests are generated from mathxl and theres steps on math xl to help solve problems you might be stuck on. Gives extra credit as well. A easy A if you take the time to do all of math xl and do the practice tests multiple times before the test to prepare.

Really impressed with my experience with this professor. She has good intentions. All homework is done on MathXL, and all tests are generated from MathXL. She often dedicates class time for students to ask any questions they have for upcoming tests. Use these opportunities to your advantage.

Instructor Gail South has the potential to be a good teacher and really knows what she is talking about, BUT when she flies through the material Refuses to answer some of students questions or help at some points it is very tough. If you take the class expect to have to learn it on your own which is miserable and takes countless hours.

She is a very good teacher, she knows what she is teaching and has the ability to teach the material in many different ways. You can tell that she is a teacher that is by the book and will teach what she needs to teach you, but will take the time to break the problems down step by step if she needs to (dumb it down) in order for the student to unde

By far one of the worst math professors that has ever taught math. If you can teach yourself math then this class is for you. If you need guidance I would not recommend taking this class. Math is not an easy subject and when you combine that with a teacher that doesnt have different ways of teaching it, it can be difficult to understand.
