She is overall a good teacher, but makes many mistakes. She hardly ever realizes she has done the problem wrong until someone corrects her. She is rather boring, but she is willing to help any student out no matter how long it will take. Is a relative easy test giver. If you go to class and half pay attention you will make a good grade.

Dr. Booth is a really nice person, and she is very willing to help. However, her teaching style doesn't really click with me. She skips steps and doesn't explain things well. She also makes a lot of mistakes. Tests are ok. I'm just not a math person; I'm hoping for a C+ in this class. Overall, Dr. Booth is not bad, not good-just average.

I adore Professor Booth. She is easy to understand, and get along with. I admire that she is concerned about the clarity of her explanations, and if you do not understand her lesson, she does her best to come up with another way to answer the problem. Just be sure to study for the final - which is 30% of your grade.

Heather Booth is the sweetest professor ever. If you're bad at math like me, I completely recommend always showing up for class. She's really helpful when it comes to make-up quizzes and does what she can for everyone to make a good grade and never makes you feel bad about asking dumb questions in class. Totally recommend!

I absolutely hated math until I met Professor Booth. She makes sure you know the material before going ahead and always makes you feel welcome to ask questions in class! Never be afraid to ask for help because she really loves participation. The only bad thing is she doesn't reply to emails quickly at all so go to office hours!!

Professor Booth, at least in my course, was super cool about grading and testing. Her grading is very flexible and she'll pass out extra credit randomly. A perfect math class for those who hate math. One lecture we had was origami box making and another was finding logical fallacies in Monty Python sketches. Sit in the very FRONT and engage.

Dr. Booths lectures were fast paced but she covered everything in detail. The homework that follows each section tends to be long, but thats all you need to do outside the class.

Dr. Booth gets off track sometimes, but she's a pretty good teacher. Unfortunately, the 4 exams are each worth 20% of the final grade, but she posts online exam reviews before each of them. She moves pretty fast through the lectures, and I had to go back and teach myself some of the concepts a few times. Not a hard class if you put in the effort.
