This was honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. She'll take her time to explain anything until you understand. You can expect a few quizzes, graded homework, and reviews before a test. Don't bother buying the book though. It's in MyMathLab, which is also the homework. Basically do the homework and you'll pass. The material is easy.

GREAT TEACHER. MyMathLab is apart of the class. DO YOUR WORK! It is very helpful. Do not miss class when there is a quiz she does not let you make up quizzes BUT she does drop your lowest 2-3 scores for quizzes (she will let you know). I hate math but she explains things so you can understand it.

This has been BY FAR one of the professors that has changed my life. She is such a caring and hardworking professor and goes above and beyond to make sure you understand the material. Not only does she give amazing lectures but she noticies the little details of your efforts and rewards you for them. Amazing asset for MDC.

She is one of the most amazing professors I have ever encountered. She has made it a walk in the park to learn Math and it has been a privilege to be part of one of her classes. I could not recommend this professor enough if you want to truly learn and love Math.

Professor Galindo is a great professor! I took her for MAC 1106 and MAC 1114. Her lectures are very clear and informative, and she's always willing to help you with any questions you have. There is a lot of homework, but all the questions in the homework are similar to the test. If you pay attention and study, you'll pass.

Prof Laura doesn't explain many exercises in class, and when she does, she explains them way too fast for you to catch on the material.. and the homework is impossible to solve. You will spend HOURS looking up youtube videos to understand. She literally said in one class that she likes when the students struggle in calc bc that' how she learned too

Really I have take before this professor and it was good, but this semester, it was horrible, I don't if it is because of the online classes, but she send A LOT of homework, and also make us see a lot of videos on youtube and the only thing she do in class is talk like we already know everything. HORRIBLE, and more for Calculus that it's important.

HW was extremely long and tedious. Quizzes, tests, and two projects assigned. She zoomed through lectures. Everybody spoke up and asked for her to push back the test bc we were lost and she said no. That's when I realized that this class wasn't worth the unnecessary stress and dropped. Took another professor and did well.

Professor Galindo goes above and beyond to make sure you get what she is teaching, and if you don't understand she's willing to help you get it. She bases 70% of your grade on tests. So, if you have test anxiety, it is going to be a hard class for you.

Fantastic professor, best professor ever. The lectures are great, the professor really explains the material in a way students can understand it. Makes the class fun to learn in. Really helps you understand Calculus 2. This being a hard class requires large amounts of studying. If you want to learn Calculus for real take her. She is the best.

Although her lectures are long and dragged out, it was relatively simply to follow but she does not care to go in detail if you have something you don't understand. 4 test (not proctored), cumulative midterm and final (multiple choice, proctored), mandatory homework, and two group assignments.

She's a very organized professor. She will give you a good calculus 1 foundation. The final is optional, she will replace the final with the lowest test score (4). She cares about students helping each other out, so she'll have you make a group that'll be your support group for the semester. She cares about your learning and is overall really good

do not take her. lets begin by saying that she would say almost each class that you are in college because you are dumb because you were not accepted at a 4 year. Also there are 4 test, 2 are in person #one is with no calculator #two is like 5 pages long and they are 45% of your grade then you have two online non-proctor this are 20% of the grade

Take her! I've had her for a while now, and I've always had a great learning experience in her classes. She's great with her ability to teach and engage students and is always lenient with test grading. If needed, she extends assignment deadlines and gives opportunities for extra credit. You won't regret it, take her!

She's flexible with test dates and always give more time to prepare. Also offers plenty of extra credit opportunities. I highly recommend taking her class!

Dr. Galindo is an amazing teacher and truly cares about her students. For me, her tests were never very diffuclt and we have cheat sheets for some. The one thing though is that Calc 2 is VERY homework heavy. Make sure to not leave that to the last minute. Im taking her for Calc 3 rn and she's awesome. Definitely would take her again.

Professor Galindo is honestly just the best, her classes are not as you would expect for a Math class, if the class has a good chemistry there is time for jokes and even just talk about life. I will say though, Calculus 2 is a very heavy subject and not easy, however if you stay on top on top of your HW you should be fine honestly; good luck!
