Mrs. Forbes is excellent, she lectures from a projector and provides notes online to print out and fill in for class note. In my opinion, that is awesome because I hate taking notes. Homework is done on couurse compass and her quizes and exams are exactly he same as the notes, so study those, and you'll do well!! Good Luck!!

Best math professor there is!! She does everything in her power to help you excel, and genuinely cares about every one of her students. She makes the material easy to understand, is always available outside of class (will even stay after allotted office hours to help you), and is incredibly kind and encouraging. Truly could not recommend her more!

I usually suck at Math, but Mrs. Forbes makes math fun, yes fun. She helped me to stick with it and not give up. I just wish I could take her for my math classes!!

Professor Forbes is on my opinion one of the best math teachers at El Camino. I took during the Winter,Statistics is very complicated, but she makes it easier to understand. You will only need to buy a stats code to do her homework and quizzes. The book isn't require, she gives you packets. You can ask her questions, and the most down to earth prof

One of the BEST at El Camino College. Very professional, polite, and knows how to explain math very well. She provides more than enough material for you to review and understand the class.

Professor Forbes is GREAT! Its quite a good amount of homework but shes always willing to give extensions. She gives an extra credit assignment that bumps score up to 5% of your grade. Super caring and such a good professor! Would recommend 10000%

Professor Forbes is so sweet and knowledgable. I highly recommend going to her office hours because she is very accessible outside of class and allows you to study there. I got all of my hw done there and she was always so happy to help when I was stuck. Her examples were very clear and easy to understand and the exams were straightforward.

I love Professor Forbes. I really am horrible at math, I was scared to take math but she made the concepts easy to understand. You'll have homework for every chapter/section, weekly quizzes, and four significant exams. If you pay attention and study, you'll pass her class. Super helpful. Don't fall behind.

She is super upbeat and nice! Her lectures were also very thorough, making it easier to digest the insanity that is statistics. She also allows for a cheat sheet for each test! Her office hours are super helpful because she will basically tutor you; it was as if it were its own study hall with the number of students who would show up. The bestie fr

Professor Forbes is enthusiastic about teaching Statistics and provides spare calculators if needed. Expect numerous handouts and worksheets, but be prepared for slow homework completion due to extensive number crunching.
