very good teacher. Took her time to explain, was very oraganized and well prepared.Can be strict on absentces and tardies. Moved at comfortable pace. Tests were on material she covered,there were no surprises. Would pick her over any math teacher!

she is a good teacher....u just have to show up and pay attention...helps you unlike other teachers

I don't care what all you guys say, Mrs. Atniel was very helpful. She is very strict but if you do your work, it shouldn't be a problem. This algebra stuff finally sunk in for me thanks to her. Don't be late and do your homework and you'll do well.

I don't why everyone's so hard on Mrs. Atniel. She has been the most helpful teacher and I would totally take her for another course. If you're lazy and immature, then don't take her. It may be a junior college, but it doesn't mean it's a kickback ride.

Wow, I didn't think she was that bad. Pretty good teacher. Basically just like every other math class, if you pay attention in class you will understand the material.

You have to be quick to pick things up b/c she speaks very fast and wont slow down. She relies that you read the book and will consequently use a lot of math terminology rather than plain english. Her tests look a lot like the last hard problems from each HW assingment. But honestly if you do ur work and pay attention and show up you should do well

Not nearly as bad as others are saying. Teacher means well, has a thick accent but very understandable. Tests are challenging, but match the lecture material. Class was very high paced and always behind. She's very supportive and wants you to do well, will spend time discussing ways for you to improve. Doesn't tolerate tardiness, rudeness.

Atniel is great. Difficult to follow at times but always takes the time to explain it to you one on one, if asked. Had her for 060 and 070 earned an A. All the problems she reviews on the board are similar to those on the exam. Use the textbook as well.

She is the best math teacher I have ever had. When she lectures she is very clear.

Very clear very helpful but she has high expectations

I don't get it. Math is math. She's a professional and her teaching abilities prove it. You WILL learn it or else.

Show her respect, and she will be respectful back! She doesn't tolerate rude students. She is a really good teacher, but sometimes you need to ask her to clarify if there is too much information at once.

She is very good teacher and helpful.But she doesn't like rude students.She has a thick accent but very understandable and clear.

The material is hard, but if you are serious and ready to work hard you can get a good grade. You have to practice at home, do all the homework, and be always in class to understand the material. It worked out for me- got an A+. Dr. Atniel is very helpful, don't be afraid to ask questions.

Great professor with exceptional knowledge. She answered all my questions and guided me through the course. She will take her time to explain. If you study you will get good grades. She is a very nice person so be respectful and do your work.

Prof. Atniel is great. Very helpful and clear. You have to do the hw to get easy points. I did all the hw problems and got an A on every exam including the final. if u have any questions she will help u and make everything clear. but u definitely need to put time on your own. Definitely recommend her if u r a serious student! No place for lazy ppl!

Atniel was not a bad teacher. She taught the lessons well, and would generally answer any questions someone would have about the lesson. However, my problem with her is her grading. She is an incredibly brutal and unfair grader. Unless you follow her instructions on showing work to the letter, you will not prosper in this class. Her way or no way.

She is a carrying professor. She will not baby you but she will help you if you reach out. She will help you if you show you care. Great prof. great woman.

I took this professor at CSUN and she is very helpful. SHE ACTUALLY WRITES ON THE WHITEBOARD INSTEAD OF JUST SITTING AT THE OVERHEAD LIKE MOST PROFESSORS. If you don't understand a concept, she is willing to help you figure it out. She's very funny but expects students to listen and pay attention. This class takes lots of effort but it pays off (:

I though the class was very straightforward. It didn't seem too difficult. She does help you out and continuously warns you what not to do and what to do. She is nice but if the class is loud expect anger. Everything she says is clear and is on the test there are no trick questions. Literally everything she says is on the test, just take good notes

It's been awhile since I took a math class, so it was hard to remember all the formulas. She is a very caring woman and does have good explanations. When I think about it, her exams aren't hard, but you really have to study and ask questions is key! Practice makes perfect so practice the hw problems and study consistently! Create study groups!

Professor Atniel is a good professor. I took her class over summer and while the work load was a bit much, I still ended up passing the class. Study your notes. If you can write good notes (different types of notations, equations and formulas), you'll be fine. Practice makes perfect. And if you don't understand something, ask questions.

Atniel is a very sweet lady, but her class is really hard. She is preparing you for 103. Don't be afraid to ask her questions! She will do whatever it takes for you to pass this class and move on in future math courses. i wish I created a study group earlier cuz I could have gotten an A. Go to class,take notes,ask questions A+ amazing professor!

Prof. Atniel genuinely cares about her students, but you need to genuinely care about yourself and take your schooling seriously. I watched students drop out of her class, throughout the semester, saying she is too difficult.. however they did not do there homework, or study. If you don't apply yourself, you will fail. Period. Amazing teacher.

I took this class and saw students dropping quickly until there were only like 10 kids left. I stayed because I needed it to move on. This class was tough and the homework was complex, but Atniel is a sweet lady and wants you to pass. She gave good explanations, really hard exams. Her final was tough, I dont know how I passed, but thanks Atniel.

iF you have a terrible professor after taking Atniel you will learn to respect this woman. I have a terrible Math 103 professor and I miss atniel's study guides and lectures now. She was really tough, but she really prepared us for the final. My prof doesnn't even do this! She taught with good explanations and truly cares for success of students.

She is one tough woman, but I grew to love Atniel at the end of semester. She is pretty hard and if you are up for a challenge then take her. However, if you have a low gpa like me I recommend you don't take her since this class is hard to get an A in. You have to work your butt off and go to the TLC. The TLC will be ur best friend taking her.

Atniel is a very caring woman, but her class you need to be focused and ask questions. DO NOT take English and math together because it's hard. If you can take English one sem and math another sem. She is tough so study and get help and make friends. Find people to study with and you can get an A but do it FIRST day of class. It will help.

She is actually such a sweet woman and very caring. Go to the TLC because those people are magical, they will help your grade. If you want an A you need to start a study group first day. Last day she gave some great advice and she's smart. She knows what she's talking about and it's not her way it's the math way. I grew to love her!

Take her if your a business major and have to take upper division calc courses. She really prepares you for math 103 because my final for that was the same as this material I learned in math070. You need to really study and get help from her and TLC, it will help! She is so sweet! Make friends study together your ticket to an A! She's funny too(:

Great teacher! I took her during a 5 week summer course. She isn't easy by any means but an A is definitely doable. She's not a fan of the book they use, so study her notes/examples more than your homework problems. Her tests mimic her study guides, so if you know how to do everything on the study guide there's no reason not to pass!

I took this class in 5 weeks during summer and to say it was intense is an understatement. But , this professor was absolutely wonderful. Probably the first professor I have had that I felt like she genuinely cares about each individual student. She'll talk to you after class and help you with anything you need. Challenging class, outstanding prof.

Atniel is one of those professors that comes off hard, but you start to appreciate it. She really does care for a student's success and will be happy to ask questions. She walked through a problem. She gave out the best study guides that had hard problems which will be on exams! Make sure you are studying consistently and find ppl to study with.

Challenging, but overall does it with a good heart. She is the sweetest person you will ever meet! I loved talking to her and getting help because she is helpful!! She told me I was smart and very good student. End of the course she became my favorite. I'm so sad I'm not taking her for stats(if she taught it) bcause her study guides were good.

As hard as the winter class was, Atniel was amazing and wanted her students to succeed. However, she is a hard grader going as far as to grade steps on exams (Careful small, messy, and light writers; she's picky on writing). She always took and urged questions and went over notes if asked to do so. Atniel is great for those who want to learn math.

I am not going to say she is a tough grader because it is the professors duty to mark something that does not make sense. I am horrible at math and probably will continue to have trouble but one thing that this professor has done that no other professor has was make me understand my errors. She is phenomenal. She made me learn from my mistakes.

She is a good teacher. If you want to truly understand Algebra 2 and be prepared for your higher level math classes I strongly suggest you take her because she will prepare you well. She really opened my eyes to my weaknesses.

Although Prof Atniel was a tough grader, she taught me more about math than any other professor. A few warnings for her class are her tests are difficult, she requires all HW to be turned in, and her lectures are fast paced. Some good notes are that her study guides really helped, she always helps with HW questions, and she cares for her students.

Pretty difficult class, although she is nice, she grades pretty tough and in order to get an A you have to do the homework right away and study before every test, I got a bit off track so my grade was a B but it is possible to get an A.

Helen is the best math professor at coc! She really cares about making sure you pass the class. Shes a tough grader and her lectures can sometimes be fast paced, but she always answers questions. Her study guides really help for tests!

Difficult class and tests were HARD. Prof lectures a lot but helped me in office hours going over material. Homework was online and book was free (open stax). She took attendance regularly and doesn't post lecture notes/lecture videos. Prof Atniel never used Canvas before (and mentioned it many times in class ;/) but overall was okay online.
