She is such an easy teacher. all her tests are mult choice. she also tells you what kind of problems are on the test
Took her for both college algebra and 1311, she is a very friendly teacher, very helpful. Tests are muliple choice, review sessions are given by TA's which are VERY helpful. She is always willing to provide extra help during her office hours. Recommended!
awesome teacher. has a sense of humor and is very willing to help her students. her class is very good and very understandable. one of the best math teachers ive ever had. take her.
A really nice lady...she puts reviews for the tests on blackboard so you know exactly what to do. No attendance policy in my class...but we got extra credit for going. Always helps during office hours...take her!!
I made a D in my previous course and with her I will end up with an A. Very good at explaining complicated subjects and the tests are not unbearable!

this lady is the woman. two words: take her. she makes sure everyone gets the material and if you still dont shes really helpful after class. class can be a bit boring, but hey, its math. she has a cute personality and is super nice to make up for it. do it.
Really great teacher. I hated math before I took her and now I still hate it but at least I understand it now.
extremely nice and helpful. class was boring for me bc i took calculus in high school, but i only needed one math. but if you do suck at math, take her. tests are easy and the only homework is those online quizzes, which are impossible to fail, unless you dont do them
She is incerdibly clear in her teaching and will make sure everyone understands her lessons. She gives many examples when teaching. MyMathLab is a great help for quizzes and tests (plus it is a grade) so keep up with it! You will get an A if you put work into it. She's an great teacher.
This teacher is amazing! She gives easy to follow notes and homework online. There is also extra credit opportunities and help sessions offered.
She is really easy to understand and the test are really easy if you do the homework each week.
I am horrible at math and didn't do any of the homework assignments, but still passed the class. You must study some, but it's not too bad. The TAs hold tutoring, which is really helpful.
her class is really boring but there is no way you can fail.If you do all your homework which is SUPER EASY and online you will be set,if u do it all then you can still get 70's on your tests ad still have a B in the class,tutoring helps.I suck at math but shes the best prof to get!
I liked Betros, she was a great teacher and gave easy tests. I am horrible at math, but in her class, she made it so easy. She sometimes gave us quizzes at the end of class for extra points on the test, they were real easy. I didn't study for the final and made an 86. Not bad at all, she was real nice too.
Very nice.. Notes are very good where you are able to understand..When doing homework online you can do them as many times as u need till you get a 100. Test are not that bad either if u study for a little bit.
Cool teacher! She is very helpful. If you do the online homework, you can easily get an a. Tests are pretty easy, only 20 questions. Enjoyed the class.
Easy, VERY EASY class if you understand math. Granted math is one of my easier subjects but all you really need knowledge of is high school geometry. It's that simple.
Betros is so awesome! She helped me so much! Her class is easy if you do your work! Definitely a teacher u want for College Algebra 1315!!
She is an amazing teacher! Made sure that everyone in the class understood. I took her during Summer I & could miss one class to still replace final with lowest test grade. Always available to help. Easy A. Had homework but it was not for a grade. Had a quiz almost every class. Very interesting and kept your attention. VERY nice & funny. TAKE HER!
I had her for modern Geometry, and she was great. She was very helpful both with the material and with career information.
Very nice lady, has a very unique way of having you learn your material... If you are horrible at math I would recommend her. Her class is easier than most and she is always willing to help you outside of class.
Great teacher! Breaks every step down and makes sure everyone understands before moving on.
Mrs. Betros is an excellent math teacher!! I was in a class of 300 people and she took the time to answer everyone's questions. Explains algebra very well. Online homework, which is super easy and offers extra credit. Also, her tests are 20 questions multiple choice. Easy A!
Great Teacher! Homework is really easy, assignments are online, and she's entertaining. There was numerous of times she had the whole class laughing. If you miss less than three classes the final makes up your lowest test grade, which will help you maybe jump a letter grade! TAKE HER!
Great teacher, very nice and answers questions you have during class. She doesn't move too fast, and usually shows the hard way to do a problem before showing the shortcut. Tests are pretty easy because she puts the basic stuff in it and doesn't try to trick you.
She was a great teacher. Moved at a manageable pace and explained everything very clearly and thoroughly. Her tests were also very easy since she does a good job at preparing you.
GOT AN A IN THE CLASS AND I'M NOT EVEN GOOD IN MATH. IT WAS PRETTY EASY AND SHE EXPLAINED STUFF REALLY WELL
She is really helpful and if you have any questions she always goes back over it and will walk you step by step until you understand it. I would take any math class that she taught.
I loved her! She was great! Take her!
super easy teacher, if you have to take math, take betros, its a pretty painless A, especially for those that hate math.
Ms.Betros is awesome, the only thing I didn't like was the seating chart. Her test are easy enough to just use the calculator to figure them all out. Plus if you do all the homework you get 20 ponits extra credit to put where ever you want.
Mathlab required for homework, book is not, I never used my book. If you miss less than 2 classes your final replaces lowest test. I hadn't taken math in 4 years and made a B in this class. Must show up to class, make sure you do ur hw, and tests are 20 question multichoice. Very helpful, and a pretty easy teacher.She made math passable,Ilovebetros
Glenda Betros is an AWESOME college algebra teacher who makes math fun and exciting! <3
Unless you are a genius in mathematics you might not do well. She expects us to know to know what she is always talking about without explanination. Prior to this class I had no problem with math, homework is not an issue though you have around 60 problems to do a week online. If you struggle in math I highly reccomend not to take Betros
Shes a great professor. Math is like a second nature to her. She gives practices tests. Book is not required but you have to buy mymathlab for about $80 to do the homework which is about 60 at most to be completed in a week.
It is a really fast paced class. I had a hard time keeping up because she goes through things super fast without much clarity but she is SO nice and friendly. Anytime I had a question I went to her and she was more than welcome to help. Keep up with homework, average 60 questions a week.
I had a very hard time in this class, but I am also terrible at math. I haven't had math in 3 years and she didn't give enough background info for me to keep up. If you haven't done math in a while i recommend catching up first. she is a good teacher though, so although I am failing miserably I would still recommend her to other people.
You're not likely to get an interesting math teacher at this university, but at least this one explains the concepts and is available for office hours. Also, gives out enough extra credit that I passed the class even though I only passed one test.
Mrs. Betros is a great professor and willing to help. Her tests are hard in my opinion, she makes you earn the grade. I would suggest re-doing all your homework as a review for the tests. It improved my grades drastically. She is nice go visit her in office hours if you need help.
I really breezed by Betros' Modern Geometry course. I had some peers that struggled, but there is ample opportunity to ask questions about what you do not understand. Homework is not graded but helps. Weekly quizzes which sometimes were done in pairs or small groups. I missed a test but she allowed my final to take its place!
Dr. Betros is one of the best professors I have ever had at Texas State. Love her!
Professor Betros is one of the best professors I've had at TXST. Math really wasn't my thing, but I learned that I actually really enjoyed it. She's more than willing to help and very accessible outside of class. I'd recommend her, especially for students that struggle with math.
Professor Betros is probably the best math teacher I have ever had! There is a lot of homework but it is on connect math so you can redo a question multiple times so you can make an easy 100. She is so caring and will help you if you do not understand!
Prof Betros was great. Very clear and organized and knows how to teach. The material itself is hard but she does a great job of explaining it. If you have trouble visit her in office hours where she is always happy to help. Gives 13 Quizzes only takes 10, 3 tests and a cumulative final. Highly recommend!
Gives plenty of chances to gain extra credit, easy online homework and quizzes. Tests are sometimes a bit hard to study for because of such long study guides but short tests.
Betros was an amazing professor and really cares about he students. She really prepares you for the class through the notes and the problems on the test are taken straight from the homework (which is optional but it really helps). Only takes 10/13 of the quizzes and is always willing to work with you in office hours! Take Betros, you wont regret it
Prof Betros is such a sweet lady! Sometimes her feedback/answers to questions may not have been what I was looking for/ a little confusing. There is a lot of homework in the class, but all the homework prepares you for the test. She also gives multiple bonus quizzes, enough to boost a letter grade, so show up to class!!
Betros is one of the best math profs I have ever had. She is incredibly helpful and teaches very clearly. If you need her to say something over again, she doesn't mind. Math is an easy subject for me so maybe that why. HW and quizzes are VERY prevalent in this course but they are SO helpful. She opens everything up at the end for you to complete
She's a sweet lady but isn't very clear with her teaching skills. I always left her office hours still confused, only gave extra credit once because the whole class failed a test. Homework isn't mandatory but helps more than she does. if you're bad at math I wouldnt take her, she moves way too fast. I never missed class and now I have to retake.
Glynda is SO SWEET. She cares so much. Her lectures are very clear and she always makes time for questions. She's always accessible in her office, and always emails back within a few minutes. Homework is online which you do have to pay for regardless. She gives bonus quizzes at the end of a good amount of classes, for extra credit. Loved her class.
Study and do homework. Not bad. Just needs a better way to review with students. Didnt prepare us well for final or exams.
To start off, I failed every test. BUT I enjoyed her as a professor because she is one of the few math teachers in my experience to actually CARE about her students understanding what was going on. I failed tests because I would forget about online homework assignments or just genuinely not have the motivation (it was my first semester in college).
Ok so this is not a easy class, if you show up to class and just try there should be NO WAY that you should fail this class with this professor. Big thing is she is VERY good with one on one teaching so just show for a few office hours before exams your golden. So far my favorite TXST professor.
Final grade replaces lowest test grade if you miss no more than 2 classes Very eager to answer your questions Explains math in a very personable way Gives extra credit opportunity Book is online not mandatory to buy Homework is optional Quizzes online are unlimited tries and is worth 5 points Quiz in class is worth 5 points Both quizzes add to 10
This woman is an absolute gem; she is the most caring professor I have had. This was my 2nd time taking algebra; I never took Algebra 2 in high school so my foundation for this class was nonexistent. But she gives you SO many opportunities to succeed; bonus points, dropping the lowest test etc. Very welcoming in her office hours, too. An angel!
I had her for summer 2 and she was kind of rude. If you are studying to be a teacher the professors have to teach you how to explain the concepts and your reasoning on your answer. So most of the time it was 20% on reasoning and 80% on how to do it which was awful because most of her tests were asking to explain our reasoning. Would not take her
Class consists of 3 tests, a cumulative exam (DIFFICULT), and homework on ConnectMath. Homework is necessary to learning the material as she isn't always extremely clear and likes to skip steps in class when lecturing. Cares about students. Wants you to pass, but makes you work for it. HARD class, but doable if you apply yourself.
Be prepared to work for your grade in this class. There is lots of homework and attending lectures it vital to optimal success. However, during lecture hours she gives extra credit opportunities, re opens all math HWs at the end of the semester to boost connect math grades, and lets the final replace your lowest test. Shes super sweet as well!
Betros is a very thorough professor and very sweet lady. She is easily accessible outside of class and every lecture is very thorough. The class can be a bit boring at times but the material is easy to understand.
Math is not my greatest subject, but without her I would not have passed! She takes her time in making sure you understand the material. If I had to give two pieces of advice, DO ALL OF THE HOMEWORK AND ATTEND CLASS, I went from an F to a B just by attending class and doing the homework! And studying of course :)
SO. MUCH. HOMEWORK. Do not wait last minute to complete because it will take forever. I love math but she made me hate it if I'm being honest. She is very sweet and knows her math, gives great examples, gives extra credit, and there's several tests, about 5 throughout the semester, about 20 Q's. Study guides are useless because they're SO long.
One of my favorite professors. She only takes grades on tests and weekly quizzes (sometimes the quizzes are group quizzes). assigns homework but doesn't take it for a grade but if you do the homework the quizzes and tests will be easy. really helpful and sweet
The material is by no means, easy. But, as long as you show an effort to learn Professor Betros will make sure she gives you ample instruction if you are struggling or just have a question. If you take the printed out notes she puts on tracs to class and take good notes, youll be golden. Never hesitate to ask for help bc she is always open to help
This class is definitely not easy, but she's an amazing teacher. She gives partial credit on test and quizzes and sooo much extra credit, so it should be hard to fail her class. 3 test, 14 quizzes (takes highest 10), doesn't grade hw but you should definitely do it, and the final wasn't hard at all. I loved her and would definitely take her again!
Pros: Kind and patient, accommodating and available outside lectures, Cons: none Tips: reread your notes and practice before each lecture. She hands out quizzes each class and they usually cover the examples from the previous lecture.
good teacher but goes fast. You need to keep up with your notes and homework and you will be fine.
She takes time in class to explain anything you have trouble with, so don't be afraid to ask. Gives quizzes as extra credit after some lectures that can be done with a group. There is a lot of homework, but it's available all month so just don't procrastinate. Tests are very short so make sure to study!!! She gives reviews and has review sessions
She is an AMAZING professor. She explains everything very well and I never left her class too lost. She offers bonus quizzes every so often and those bonus points get added to your final exam grade so go to class even though attendance isn't mandatory. Also there is a lot of homework but you have until the next test to complete it so, do it early.
Betros is an amazing teacher who really cares about her students. She works very hard to make sure you understand the subject and is always available during office hours. Highly recommend.
Overall good professor, assignment on connect math are pretty simple and help to comprehend the material. Take good notes and go to her office hours and youll be set! She is very understanding and cares about her students. Replaces lowest test score with final exam score if you have less than 2 absences.
She gives lots of opportunities with bonus quizzes. She replaces your first test grade with your final. She's an amazing professor because she actually wants you to learn.
Really sweet lady, very respectable. All lectures. Her homework is through an online portal. If you skip class a lot, you will miss a lot of crucial stuff, however, you can teach yourself the criteria because she posts the notes online. If you're good at algebra it's an easy class. If you're not, pay attention in class!
Overall a good professor, she makes you work for your grade! You have homework online which helps you comprehend the material on the quizzes we have every other class. If you take very good notes, and attend office hours you will be set. She truly cares about her students succeeding, but it is not an easy course.
Betros is an amazing professors. As someone with who struggles with math , I was intimidated but thanks to her instruction methods and techniques, she has made it a blast. Lots of work , but like anyone says , practice makes perfect
Took her for 1319 and 1329, and do not regret it! She is an amazing professor, and cares so much about her students. The class is hard, and you do have to work for the grade you want, she is always willing to help her students. 3 exams, 14 quizzes(drops lowest 4), and the final.
Mrs. Bentros is one of the sweetest professors and makes math easy. 4 exams and weekly quizzes, drops lowest exam and 3 lowest quizzes out of 13 (all on zoom). Gives so much extra credit and only buy the online textbook. If you have questions dont be afraid to ask she understands math is difficult for some people and doesnt judge you.
Professor Betros was a great professor, even though the class was taken online she tried her best to explain all the concepts and was available during office hours if we needed more help. She gives you extra credit and takes the highest 10 quiz grades from your quizzes, which are worked in groups.
Professor Betros was one of the best professors, even though the class was taken online; she always tried explaining each concept to her best of her ability and was available during office hours if we needed more help. She does give extra credit and only takes the top 10 highest grade from all your quizzes.
Dr. Betros made this class tolerable. I am not a fan of any sort of math, but she really tried to make this semester as smooth as possible.
Professor Betros was great! Super approachable during/after class. Her notes are neat and colorful so they're easy to follow. She offers extra credit questions during class. The homework on McGraw can be tedious and time-consuming, but it helps with understanding. Don't be afraid to ask her questions!
If you struggle with math, take her class. She is a very sweet lady and never acted like there were any dumb questions and was always willing to go over something again. I'm not very good at math so I wouldn't say this class was an easy A but if you pay attention in lecture, do hw, study a little and you'll get an A. Some extra credit offered.
Lectures class about how we are taking her class for granted. Says that some of us wont pass our exam to become a teacher. Assumes all of info is review so she goes fast and her explanations are unclear. There is no easy way to take notes because she jumps around.
I found this to be a difficult math class & I love math. This had calculus in it so that side I wasn't happy with .Unfortunately exams are mostly fill in the blanks so you must know what you are doing . Will give some pts if you write down how to set it up . No curves it's a "weed out " class. The final was the same. Do your HM it helps out alot.
Professor Betros is the best math teacher that i have ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed in her class. She is very patient and will answer any question that you have. She explains the concepts clearly in her lectures but you will need to do the homework in order to successfully complete the exams in time.
She is literally the best teacher ever! If you have the option to take her take her! I had her for summer college algebra and while you do have to put in work to understand the topics, she makes sure you understand is very very sweet!
She truly is a great teacher. I took her over the summer, and even though it's condensed, I did not feel overwhelmed. I usually have to work harder to understand math, but she did a great job of explaining all the concepts. She is there to help you and so patient.
She offers extra credit by surveys, quizzer questions, and by attending office hours 3 times. She's very accessible outside of class and responds to emails within 24 hours. Betros goes over coursework very well and preps you for exactly what you'll see on quizzes and exams. I'm pretty decent at math but she really helped me so much! BEST PROFESSOR!
TAKE HER. Listen to me Best Math Professor I have ever had. After the pandemic, I honestly hadn't taken a true math course in over a year. She explains everything and doesn't make you feel dumb for asking questions even if it was just answered or if she just went over it. She is an angel. Office hours are great. Group quizzes on zoom. She cares!
I love Mrs. Betros, if I could take her for my future math classes I would. She works hard to be accessible to students before and after class using her office hours. She'll help you if you're stuck on the homework. She gives out lots of extra credit if you just do the work to earn it. If you struggle with math, I'd highly recommend her!
Betros is a great choice if your not good with algebra- she gives opportunities for extra credit and is accessible outside of class if you need help or have questions. Participation in her class matters!! Definitely a difficult class if you aren't prepared. She does record the online lectures which is 10/10 in case you have to miss class.
If you fail her class you didnt try. She gives you so many opportunities to fix your grade. Such a wonderful woman. Attendance is not required but you probably want to attained because you get extra credit. If you are not good at algebra like myself, TAKE THIS COURSE! She will help you out as long as youre putting in the effort!
Dr. Betros is just downright the best professor I've ever had. If you fail, it's because YOU did not try. She makes sure that if you don't understand something, that you get clarification until you understand it, even if she has to repeat herself. If I had to take a future class that she happened to teach, I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Professor Betros is a very caring professor. She is good at teaching the material and doesn't make you feel dumb for asking questions. She will gladly go over the material again if you do not understand something. She also gives us bonus questions that give us extra credit for each exam which is really helpful. Awesome professor for math.
Dr. Betros is always diligent when teaching and is willing to explain any question asked during lecture. There are weekly quizzes so be aware of that. So much extra credit offered that can possibly boost your grade a whole letter grade if all of it is completed.
Professor Betros is such a good instructor. If you struggle with math consider taking her class. Attendance isn't mandatory but gives extra credit if you attend with your camera on. Lots of extra credit opportunities and chances to raise your grade. Quizzes every week. 4 exams. Lots of HW. Drops lowest exam score if you attend office hours.
This professor was absolutely amazing. She makes sure to go over things very carefully in order for people to understand, and she promotes coming to office hours for better exam grades. Participation matters! Not coming to class means missing an entire section of notes, and it is hard to catch up.
Betros is a good professor. The class moves FAST. To succeed you have to stay on top of the material that yall will be covering and actually do the homework that is provided.
go to class or else youll miss a whole lesson. she was rated high so i took her and misjudged how hard the class would be for me. I missed an exam and my final made up for it and there is quizzes weekly. quizzes are pretty easy and she always lets us have a partner. It was mostly just a me issue bc i dont understand math but great teacher.
Must depend on who you are because this professor was not helpful. Not much extra credit given, and office hours are done in a room so tiny you are standing up trying to take notes. Lots of homework. Quizes are every week. Went to majority of office hours and still failed. Too much information to remember each week.
Professor Betros is a good prof overall. Her class was extremely difficult, and she moves at a very fast pace. I wish she went more into depth with teaching topics. I'm pretty sure most people in my class either failed or got a C. She does care about her students and is available at office hours. She grades take-home material HARD.
I am not good at math at all, but Professor Betros made it way easier to understand. She offers tons of extra credit and seems to care about her students. She wants everyone to do well.
I failed this course the first time around and the second time I took it with professor Bestros and passed with an A. There is a assignment with every lesson but it's easy to get ahead. Plus there is lots of extra credit opportunities that are super easy so make sure to take advantage of them. The professor is also really understanding which helps!
At first, I was super worried about taking an online math class, but Mrs. Betros knows what she's doing. Informative lectures, explains concepts well, super nice, and so much extra credit you'd have to try to fail. If you struggle with math like me or are looking for an online class that isn't terrible, this is your professor.
Professor Betros is really nice and passionate for what she teaches. There is a lot of extra credit opportunities. Lots of homework and note taking but she makes it easy to understand.
Betros is amazing. Naturally, I'm just bad at math, but she really does take the time to go through problems and help students. I took her online class and had no problems with technology. She's very nice and very smart.
Professor Glynda Betros is an amazing math professor. She is very caring for her students. If you could take it in person, I would highly recommend her. She always gives out a review guide before the test, which is very helpful for the test. Make sure you participated in class cause that will be graded. I highly recommend her for College Algebra.
Professor Betros makes online math class doable, with informative lectures, extra credit galore, and a super helpful teaching style. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for exam prep.
Lectures were very helpful and the class was easy as long as you studied and did your homework.
Good teacher, but lectures the entire class and expects you to pay attention for all 80 minutes
I maintained a 95 the entire semester which was pretty good considering her averages were C's and B's. The final was set by the math department and honestly feel like I barely knew any of the material that was on it. Failed it which brought my grade down to an 87. I was very upset but whatever. You get to use a note card on exams and extra credit
