She is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. Professor Abbiate is fun, understanding and teaches you math in ways that get you interested in learning math... for instance she really focuses on teaching how math relates to us in our everyday setting. Tips, gambling, shopping, sales, taxes... ect. If you are scared of math take her!

Gina is amazing! I was so scared. She has a way of teaching that is like no one else. Gina explains Math in a clear and easy fashion. This was the first Math class I've been in since the 70's and as you can imagine I was very apprehensive - I got an A and am now taking my third semester of Math - I just wish she was teaching it!!

Prof. Abbiate is great. She's practical, and teaches only what you need to know. Makes the course as painless and easy as possible. You must go to class or you will do horrible, unless you're a statistician. She will give the lecture, give a few examples, and if you know what you're doing you can go. If not, you can stay and do more examples.

She definately is willing to help whoever needs it. Alot of points are awarded for doing and turning in the homework, so if you don't do too well on the tests you can still receive a good grade in the class. Tests are composed by her and she gives partial credit for even attempting the problems. Overall very good math teacher. Recommended!

Anyone who had a problem with Professor abbiate should probably never take a math class again. Just do your work and copy everything on the board and you should get an A. Me and my buddy competed with each other to see who could get the highest A. I got a 98%, he got a 96%. We both suck at math.

Assigns classwork & homework, homework is on MathXL & you have to pay extra but its only $25 & its for a year. Ends class abt 45 min early so u can work on classwork or ask her questions, or leave. Does test review for abt an hour on exam days, give partial credit, not much book use, if your decent at math you prob don't need it. Would take again.

I did not like her at all. She had her favorites and when she came to class she spent a good amount of time bragging about her kids while she could have used that time to help those who were struggling more in class. There was also a group of 3 girls who sat in the back right laughing and whispering about other students! She let it happen.NOT COOL!

Hard class, and Gina said it herself " she is the wrong person to be teaching this class" I had to go out of my way to hire a tutor to pass this class. However, I passed with a B in the end. When it comes to help you cannot ask broad questions or she will make you feel stupid. They have to be specific questions from homework. The test were super confusing at times, but with hard work it is possible. If you show dedication... She won't let you fail I give that my word.

Professor Abbiate is an incredible Professor. I am the opposite of a Math person and to be honest, I legitimately despised the subject entering the class but Professor Abbiate made math easy. She gives somewhat a lot of homework but you have plenty of time to complete it. She gives sample exams before the exams and drops the lowest test score.

Mrs.Gina is a great teacher. I had her for both math 104 and math 144 and overall if you put in the effort, you will succeed. quizzes every week or every other week. Unlimited retakes on quizzes. all assignments due at the end of the class (but don't wait until the last minute or it will be stressful). If you show up to class, she will help you out

Left the classroom feeling more confused than before I came in. Pretty fair professor and lets you retake quizzes. But, because there are only short quizzes and no exams, the weight of those quizzes impact your grade a lot. I struggled with this class because it was a 16-week course. Not the most understanding and was rude to a few students.

Worst professor I've had at Mesa. She's super sassy when asked a question and does not teach the content efficiently. She uses most of her class time to explain an irrelevant problem in Desmos and then expects you to solve harder versions of problems from her homework on quizzes. Learned more in 20 minutes on youtube than 2 hours in her class.Awful

Not the worst, but not for me. If you are a student that needs clear explanations and are a note taker that likes lectures, skip this class. She barely lectures and is more of a hands on "do it yourself and ask questions" teacher, which does not work for me at all. LOTS of quizzes that make up most of the grade. Retake policy is reasonable

It is important to have a professor that cares for everyone. And Gina does. She is a gem. math needs work regardless the professor but she will make you want to do well.

Prof. Abbiate's class is very collaborative. She wants the whole class to work together to learn by doing classwork problems. She only lectures for half of the class and gives a lot of resources to help you practice outside of class. Her precalc has mandatory homework and no exams but her calc does not have HW but has exams. Her class fills FAST.

Not a bad professor overall, very passive agressive and rude in lecture, sometimes makes you feel bad for asking questions. Most of your grade will consist of quizzes which isnt bad however it becomes difficult when you have trouble on the subject but she allows for makeups. I would say practice your classwork because it can be a little tricky.

Gina really engages with the class when she teaches. I took her as a summer class so it was all crammed and she still did an amazing job. She was very thorough with everything she taught and is very nice. She is an amazing teacher who cares about her students. There is nothing more you could ask for out of a professor.

I took Gina's precalc class over summer. A lot of your reflected performance in her class is from whether you can master the content well. The practices she assigned were the best way of grasping the content better and build understanding. The lectures can be confusing and difficult to understand if you didn't take a look at the content beforehand.

Showed us what we needed to know, very easy grader, but encourages students to try hard. Only downside is I wish we could've gone more in depth, but this may be due to taking her in summer. Love the tricks she shows on calculators. If you do bare minimum you may pass this class but you'll fail later classes. Don't take advantage of her niceness.

Her Calc 1 class is very good, she is an amazing lecturer and she will always answer questions, no matter how dumb they may be. She is very patient and for Calc 1 I really recommend her since she allows for retakes on quizzes and sometimes even the tests. Really easy to keep a high grade in her class as long as you do the assignments.

Mrs. Gina is a dedicated professor who truly cares about her students' success. This course is hard, there are weekly quizzes, and 3 exams, but she allows retakes on the quizzes (which is rare for higher level math courses). She becomes frustrated after explaining topics multiple times, but it comes from a nice place, practicing the material is key

This class was kind of challenging because there is a quiz every week on a new topic. However, they're really not at all bad if you stay on top of studying and show up to class. It really helped me not procrastinate. She does not allow quiz retakes and does not drop your lowest exam anymore, though. Overall a very rewarding class. Great lectures.

Professor Gina made calc 2 very doable. To preface, I got a C in calc one, I am by no means a natural when it comes to math. Gina gave good lectures, and encouraged you to learn the material with other students. She is very clear and fair with what she says is going to be on exams. Gives pretty generous partial credit. Take her class!

Class structure is A+ but the professor is kind of condescending and not very helpful. When in a not good mood, she gets passive aggressive with students. Class structure was good though (we know what's on the weekly quizzes with the chance to retake a more difficult version of the quiz the next week) but better to learn from someone else.

I took her for calc1&2 and she was great, this semester was her first time teaching linear algebra and she is all over the place, therefore the whole class is doing badly. She definitely wasn't prepared to teach this course, if you are going to take linear algebra take another professor or prepare yourself for a fast paced class with no substance.

Class is pretty easy as long as u pay attention to lectures and do the hw. Gives weekly quizzes but tells u what they'll be on. Grades nicely, will give points just for writing stuff on the test. Although she can be very condescending and degrading when you have questions. Easy class if u understand the substance and don't mind passive aggression.

I don't understand these ratings. Professor Abbiate is an amazing instructor. Cares about your learning, grades quickly, wants you to do better as a STEM major, and is a very smart cookie. I am taking her for Linear Algebra and she is top notch! Yeah, she will call you out if you are slacking but it means she believes in you. She got you!

This class felt very self-taught to be honest. Not the teacher to take if you think you might need extra help in math because whenever I went up to ask her for help, she would lowkey kinda ignore me for a bit lol. And when she did, she would be kind of vague about explaining it as if she had a word limit lol (this wasn't even during tests btw).

Gina is one of the best math professors. She genuinely wants you to learn the material and provides free resources to do so (online math textbook, delta math for hw; both decent). The class is well structured and her grading criteria is very clear. She's also a very generous grader. Ask lots of questions if you're stuck. She wants you to learn!
