Very helpful, works well with your busy schedule and has fun stories. Isn't your typical boring math teacher.
One of the best math teachers i've had so far. i would love to take her again. very helpful and clear on all of her lectures, tests are based on material covered in class. if you don't understand, just ask. she also has some very inspirational stories and really worked hard to get where she is today. by far loved being in her class would recommend.
Okay, she's really nice and sweet, but she's boring. Sitting in math for 3 hours isn't fun especially if you can't read what is being written on the board. She moves on quickly so it can be challenging. She had us write a 2 page essay about MATH! not cool! Plus all the homework is done online and it cost like $100. i don't recommend
Great teacher. Knows mathematics on a deep level. Very straightforward, no surprises on tests and quizzes. Attendance is not mandatory.
Professor Ward is really nice and really cares about you actually understanding math, not just remembering it. Pretty lenient with assignments and laid back.
Very friendly and helpful. Subject matter expert.
She proved to be an enthusiastic mathematician. I have been out of school for awhile and was worried that I would have a hard time with this particular course. The clarity in her lectures and old school method of white board problem solving suited me well. Show up to class, apply yourself, study, and get an A. No complaints.
Amazing professor. I HATE math but I loved her class. She REALLY cares about her students and she really wants you to do well. Pay attention, do homework and you'll do great!! Plus her personality is adorable and she's very kind and very sweet! I wish she could teach ALL my math classes. Absolutely love Dr. Ward!
Silly sense of humor, but inspirational at the same time if you actually soak it in. Her tests are the study guide so be sure to study that. No book required just online purchase of mymathlab. She gives a week to finish assignments. Smooth class. Would take her again
Mrs. Ward was a super nice professor! She inspires you to strive and try your hardest at your work. She's clear with her notes and lectures. The exams are like the study guide, so no surprises on the exams. I would take her again if she taught math 60. When you're in her class time flies because you're actually learning and understanding the class!
Dr. Ward is amazing, I took the 8 week course and it was pretty easy , we work on Aleks . com a lot for free and it's not too bad at all if you use your time wisely, no book used, you can skip class but being there is helpful! She's so sweet and funny , she's clear about grading. She even drops your lowest test score.
I was dreading the fact that i needed to take math again after 6 years being out of school but Dr. Ward is a super Helpful/compassionate person. Dr. Ward is super fun and will help you one on one in class whenever you ask ,you can text or email her when ever if you have questions. Awesome teacher who comes highly recommended 5/5 stars
Dr Ward is an amazing professor. I took a 8 week course and I was really nervous because I'm not good at math, but I ended up getting all A's! She is really good at explaining the material and she's really helpful. She cares about all her students and wants them to pass the class. By far one of the best professors at LBCC. TAKE HER!!
ONE OF THE SWEETEST AND MOST HELPFUL TEACHERS AT LBCC. Prof. Ward's class was always one I didn't mind being in. She has a goofy sense of humor and is super helpful and always willing to explain the problem again until everyone understands it. Definitely would recommend her to anyone who struggles with math!!
Wonderful professor !
Fast paced type teacher.
I always struggled with math & had horrible teachers. However, DR. WARD is AWESOME. She seriously makes it as easy as it can be to understand topics, truly wants her students to get it before moving on & doesn't mind answering any questions. Grading is done on Aleks, gives study guides/extra credit, reviews before exams. Extremely nice! TAKE HER.
Hands down the best professor I've ever taken. I failed math 3 times before taking her class, and passed because of her teaching style. Her classwork is based solely off the Aleks coursework, so you never feel left behind. Take her class, you won't regret it!!
Greatest teacher I have ever had period. She takes the time to make sure you understand what you are learning.
Ward is a really sweet professor and her class (MATH60/Calc I) is a breeze. Tests are exactly like the study guides, which are frequently exactly like the webassign homework. So accessible she even gives her cellphone number out in the syllabus. Drops two quizzes, no tests. Lectures were alright although sometimes seemed to drag on.
She is an amazing professor. As long as you do the HW and show up to class, you will pass. She is easy to get a hold of and usually responds quickly. Overall she is a great professor.
I took Prof. Ward over the winter, and although I'm good at math, it was a struggle to keep an A. There was a lot of homework and weekly tests, but that was because it was a winter class, so it was expected. You do need to work for the grade, but it wasn't impossible. Her lectures were helpful and she's a real gem who truly cares for her students!
Proffesor Ward really takes a lot of time to explains things which is awesome. Also she really loves math and is full of energy all of the time. The only problem with her is that the study guides are not always similar to the tests she gives out, so you really need to know the material.
Dr. Ward is an amazing professor! Although Calc 1 is a tough subject she is extremely cooperative and is very kind to students. She is always accessible outside of class via text or email. Dr. Ward is willing to help students as best as she can and genuinely cares. This class was a struggle at first but the more I reached out to her she helped lots
Dr. Ward was amazing this summer! We worked on Aleks which I really liked because it would not let you move on until you learned the material. She was very interactive with the class and gave great class discussion topics. I would definitely take her again.
She's the most caring prof I've had in my 3yr college career. She's understanding of student needs & problems w/ COVID & wants to help students in & out of class. She gave resources to student aid, mental health services & more. Her tests allowed you to have 2 tries/problem in case you're like me & make silly errors at first. can't recc her enough
Did not do lectures. Pretty much felt like we were on our own, heres all the assignments, good luck. Hardest class especially with no lectures
This is in the middle of the semester&I want to say her teaching/her notes do not relate to stuff on the hw so you have to teach yourself. I'm personally bad at math so I had to study super hard for exams. She is nice but I was basically on my own when it came to learning. ebook sucks/waste of money but website needed for hw unfortunately
This online class was very much based on if you tried or not. Grading was very simple and used Webassign. She does a good job of posting videos and lectures and communication is on point. Put the work in, and this class is not an easy-A, but very much achievable.
Accessible outside of class and so quick to respond. Its calculus so theres def. lots to learn and do. We had 5 exams and 1 final and lots of hwk sets on webassign and a discussion board. Exams were typically due on Friday nights on webassign and the actual handwritten work due Saturday night. Very accommodating/ understanding in todays times.
Was a great choice in having her as my professor. Calc is hard but she really helped if you needed it at any time. Have homework on webassign but have chances to make it up, if you do the practice exam it is very helpful in the actual exam. Exams are due friday at 11:59 but work is due until 2am which is very accommodating. Would highly recommend.
I really appreciate the way she has laid out her online classes. She makes it easy to reach her. This class was based/graded on discussions and exams. Everything else she had was for you to look at, at your own pace. I loved this since I work full time. This class was worth it and Dr. Ward is great.
Took the compressed 6-week version of the 16-week course over the summer (sidetone: if you aren't a math major or fan of calculus, I don't recommend doing it. Brutal.). Aside from the difficulty of the coursework itself, Dr. Ward is an amazing teacher. She won't let you off the hook for any assignment, but is super helpful and easy to reach out to!
Professor wards is amazing, very caring. I love that she honestly wants to see students do well. She's an amazing person overall, if you follow the syllabus and keep up with the course work you'll be fine.
Dr. Ward made calc easy. She sets up her online class in a very easy & effective way. Webassign makes the learning process better too. Practice exams are just like the actual exam (which you have two chance for each ?) I am not a math major and I'm going to end with a solid A! Only complaint: weekly discussion posts get old fast. Would recommend
Dr. Ward is a Gem. She is consistently asking her students if they need any help and is always open to answering any question you might have. Dr. Ward is charismatic and sweet. I recommend taking her. I only got a low grade because i dont understand Math that much. Dr. Ward helped me gain a better understanding.
Ms. Ward is the best teacher I have had for Math at LBCC by far. Calc is really tough, but she explains it well and her notes make it even simpler. The classes are optional, but I would go because she goes over lecture notes, the topic and even homework. She also gives you her phone number to gain help with homework. She is a very great and amazing
Dr. Ward is an amazing calculus I professor. I was very nervous about taking calc, especially online. However Dr. Ward made calculus very clear to understand. I really like that exams are Fridays at 11:59pm. Drops the lowest exam and five lowest homework assignments. Overall, I really enjoyed calculus with Dr. Ward, take her class. She is a gem!
Professor Ward is a great professor! She's caring, and explains the material well. She truly wants the best for her students. Class consists of 4 exams including the final (lowest grade gets dropped) as well as assignments on webassign and discussions( Varies on topic, it can be cultural other times it's exam help). Highly recommend her.
Really Nice Professor! She really cares about her students. Always wants to communicate with us and is always there if we needed help! I really enjoyed her class because although math is tough subject in general it was organized well and she drops one exam, and hw assignments. If I could I would take her class again!
Professer Ward was a great teacher. She was always there to help and made it really easy for everyone to reach out. I would say that if math is not your subject, it may take some extra studying to understand some of the content. All hw was on webassign and so were the test. The practice exams on webassign really do help, so I recommend doing them.
I took her during the fall of 2021 online. Im so thankful I did! Take her class. You wont regret it.
The subject is hard, Dr. Ward is not. She is delightful, insightful and respectful. She truly cares about your success and checks in with her students consistently. Whether you need a lot of help, or prefer to just go at your own pace and touch base with her once in a while, she's the one for you. Phenomenal teacher and person
Class was online. there were optional zoom sessions. discussions every week but she made them interesting & enjoyable. work was done in aleks so sometimes its alot of work but then again, its a math class so thats normal. great professor. cares about students and is helpful when you have questions.
She gave live zoom lectures (which aren't required) as well as recorded lectures. I found that just watching the videos was sufficient for me to pass the class. The homework will take up to about 1-2 hours for each lesson. She is a good teacher, but I found that she simply read her notes (which were messy) rather than explain them,
She is a great professor that cares about her students!
When I started class I was so afraid because I know that I really don't do well in math. Dr. Ward really made a difference. She made me believe in myself & not be afraid of math! I hope i can give a score higher than 5 as in super awesome instead of just awesome because she really is! the explanations are so easy & she is empathetic to the stdnts.
Professor's lectures are recorded and explained in detail. Homework is done online on Aleks website, and it provides a calculator. Homework can take up a lot of time. This class can be challenging, but Professor Ward is easy to follow. Her first class was very encouraging and help set the tone for a good experience.
Dr Ward makes a challenging & difficult subject WAY more digestible & understandable than any other math prof I've had. I signed up for & dropped 3 calc classes before this one bc I had panic attacks during/after every class, but Dr Ward's gentle & caring approach made this class enjoyable. I cannot state enough how much she cares for her students
Prof. Dr. Ward is a priceless treasure. Especially in the teaching of math. She does encourage everyone to do the homework because she truly wants you to learn and succeed. Is available outside of class to help w/ homework questions. She cares, tests fairly and gives 1/5 of the grade to you if you turn in your 'shown work' at the end of the exams.
Professor ward is definitely a professor you can reach out to for help in any aspect. She will definitely try to work with you if you need the help and motivation!
Dr. Ward is an inspiration! She cares for her students and she is always rooting for you. she is easily accessible outside of class, uses WebAssign, and posts her lectures and lecture notes for you after class.
Professor Ward is amazing! I started the semester worried/anxious. However, Prof. Ward makes sure we understand every subject & gives plenty of examples. She answers all questions in class & is easy to get a hold of. This was online & she records all lectures which helps a lot! There is a lot of homework but it's manageable and very helpful.
Dr Ward is amazing! She really cares about her students succeeding and does everything she can to help you understand the assignments.
Professor Ward was great to have! She is very lenient and very helpful. She drops the lowest grades for HW and Exams so as long as you do well you should pass. Her online lectures are also posted on YouTube which is a great help if you are stuck on the HW or need help on an exam. Professor Ward is very kind so never feel afraid to ask questions.
By far most caring and understanding professor. Willing to help you succeed in this class in any way needed.
Professor Ward is definitely one of the best mathematics professors I've had. She made it extremely simple and easy to understand and always reminded us that questions were always welcomed. I learned to understand and like math thanks to her course. She is a great and inspiring professor as well, and offers many great stories and advice!
Dr. Ward is my all time favorite Math teacher! I would love to have her as a Professor for all my classes! She's AWESOME!
Dr. Ward was absolutely amazing. I am returning to school after being away for years. Math is not something I enjoy. She absolutely went over everything with you and guided you through the work. I never thought I was going to fail. The work was hard but doable.
Professor Ward is amazing! She takes her time to explain everything step by step. She was very helpful in answering any questions and explained the material with detail. She cares about her students doing good, understanding the material, and passing her class. The material is challenging and you have to work, but she made it easier.
Jacquline ward is an Amazing professor. She teaches well and explains lectures well and makes sure you understand them all. She is quick amazing and responsive. She also has the zooms posted incase you missed it.
Professor ward is and amazing teacher. She has made math so easy and understandable.
Dr.Ward is down to earth,SUPER willing to meet you where you are and teaches@good pace v understanding!Classes easy to manage while taking one other course and working full time.Highly recommend doing homework on time or it gets overwhelming trying to cram n the end. Hw gives you multiple opportunities to correct mistakes and rewatch the lectures:)
Dr. Ward was heaven-sent. She is a phenomenal professor with a story to tell. The workload is heavy, but she provides enough time to complete it. Her ability to lecture slowly and explain the work is beneficial. All lectures are recorded, making studying for homework, quizzes, and exams much more manageable. Best Professor! Next Chapter ---- CSULB
O.M.G. Dr. Ward is the absolute BEST!! Statistics is tough as nails. However, Dr. Ward makes everything palatable. Show up, DO the WORK, & a top grade is in the bag. Success only comes before work, in the dictionary. So, the Data will show that your efforts correlate with your rewards. She cares about her students & makes success highly probable!!
Dr. Ward is extremely caring! though the material is hard, she sets you up for success. I didnt use the text, as she provides video lectures that are soo helpful. All work is done in Aleks, 1 HW assignment & 1 quiz weekly, 3 midterms, &1 final. the HW is lengthy but its weighted more than the quizzes, so if you do the HW, you will succeed!
She is a fantastic professor. She is very caring and does a great job of explaining the problems. Follow her lectures as you complete your homework and you will do fine.
Professor Ward is a wonderful and caring professor! We used ALEKS to complete our homework, quizzes, and exams, and it wasn't difficult at all. I absolutely hated stats in high school, but she made it so much easier to understand! I highly recommend taking her class and I really wished she was able to teach math 50. She is truly the sweetest!!
Dr. Ward is the most inspirational person I have ever encountered. I was terrible at math, but her lectures help me so much and even inspire me to take more Math courses. I gain a newfound appreciation for math after taking her class.
This was my first time taking stats and it was an online class, so I was a little scared at first on how I will do, but Dr. Ward is so an amazing teacher. She is fast at responding to emails and is very caring. For the zooms, she basically goes over the hw, which is helpful!
Would retake with her
Professor is very caring, very inspiring. She motivates you and really wants you to pass her class. I took statistics twice before her and I never understood anything. I cannot believe that I was able to get a B in her class. Do your homework and you will be fine. I strongly recommend you take her class.
Mrs ward is an amazing professor I passed calculus with a 98.3 and she made it very possible and she was a great teacher and she was very kind.
cares about her students, wants to see them all succeed. class wasn't difficult, but it's calculus so you'll have to think a little. would take 1000x again
WOULD RETAKE HER!! The sweetest, most caring, and understanding teacher!! Her online stats class was pretty easy if you just listened to her lecture (which was going over the hw questions), and did your homework and quizzes. She posts her lectures on youtube, which is really helpful because you can always go back if you're stuck.TAKE HER!
Provides lectures via YouTube after each class concludes, so you can go back and watch at any time. Uses real life scenarios to help understand the material. She answers all questions and make herself available to students outside of class. Amazing Professor !
Prof Ward was a sweet lady but ALEKS was my enemy. Considering I failed the class, I would say it was mostly because I did not have the energy to do 30+ question homework assignments every week that took hours to complete. She also never had any notification when things in ALEKS were due so you have to keep up with everything yourself.
Dr Ward was a great professor. Statistics is a hard subject but Dr Ward made it pretty easy. There were times where I struggled but her lectures and videos helped a lot. Her grading was easy, I would totally recommend her class.
She is awesome. Definitely I would take her again she is the best teacher I've ever had.
She is the best teacher I've ever had. Lots of homework but she helps with examples of the homework. I would definitely take another class with her again.
Dr. Ward breaks down stats and makes it understandable and enjoyable. Her youtube lectures are a lifesaver and I highly recommend you take the time to review the video lectures that she posts. HW, quizzes, and exams are done in Aleks. Put in the time, ask question and I guarantee you will pass.
Dr. Ward is an incredible educator. She takes the time to explain and review lessons. She truly believes that every student has the ability to learn and thrive AND she loves animals. I can not speak highly enough of her efforts. She made a truly safe space for learning and I hope our paths cross again.
Prof. Ward is incredible. You can tell from day one that she is there to help you succeed. I had heard horror stories about statistics, but she presents this class in a way that is very easy to comprehend and is open to discuss any issues you might have. Bi-weekly zoom calls are a huge help, try not to miss them! Do the work and you'll do great!
Understand the lectures and the textbooks. Dr. Ward is always available to answer your questions (via Canvas email, or hangout with her after Zoom). She has practice tests pre-posted, if the homework does not make sense, it's not hard to talk to her. Thank you for making this course fun. I will apply my learning in my daily life.
Professor Ward is a very easy going professor. She made stats way more easier to understand. We used Aleks for all assignments which is one of the best website I used for my classes also she drops the lowest exam grade. She makes it clear that she done not want this class to be hard for us and wants us to pass.
I highly recommend Dr. Ward! Statistics is not an easy subject, however, Ward makes it easy to understand with her detailed lectures. As long as you attend zoom or watch the video lectures and put in the effort, you will not fail. Easy to get a hold of, even during the weekend. TIP: use the explanation button on Aleks. That will help you out a lot.
Dr. Ward is compassionate to students like me, balancing full-time motherhood and a full-time job. She gives ample time for assignments and allows multiple attempts for homework, quizzes, and exams. Despite the tough subject, her class is a safe space where no question is stupid, and we can ask for help whenever needed.
You have to use the program ALEKS and that is where all of your assignments are. It is honestly a good and straightforward program. Also professor ward is super nice and encouraging and she drops your lowest grades at the end of the semester!
Had Professor Ward for my STATS class and she was amazing. Kept lectures short and simple, very caring and helpful throughout the course. She's a professor who wants you to pass and succeed. Among that her homework was fairly easy and she is super reasonable with grading. Other than that I would defiantly recommend taking her course.
Take Dr. Ward! The course itself is very easy, and even if you are not a fan of math, as long as you put in the effort, you can earn an A. She allows you to drop your two lowest homework assignments, as well as one test and one quiz! She genuinely cares about your success and is there to support you. I would definitely take her class again!
Dr Ward was a very helpful professor. Teaches with lecture at a good rate and also goes over the aleks homework on how to solve the problems and if any questions addressed she clarifies it clearly. When taking exams they are only about 17 problems at most and you get about 3 hours to finish.She allows notes and no zoom needed. Highly recommend her!
She's honestly one of the best professors I've had. As anybody I was scared to take stat1 but she truly cares about her students and makes it so clear. Recording of online course are available so one can go back on there own time. Affordable Aleks course where we turn in hw and take test.(Textbook included)
Dr. Ward is truly one of the best professors I have ever had! You do have to purchase ALEKS to complete the homework, quizzes, and exams, but they are all doable, especially if you attend the lecture. She wishes for all her students to succeed, which makes her a great professor. I would take her again if i could!
Dr Ward is an amazing professor. She always wants the best for her students and will help if you need it. she made the class and the subject way easier and i understand it well. i would definitely take her class again.
She is so sweet & very understanding, I'm so glad to have had her as my statistics professor.
She is an amazing Professor, all the work will be done through Aleks there will be homework for at least 10-11 chapters , quizzes , and exams 3 plus the final. You need to put the work in and study with the homework she is giving you questions are similar to HW questions. Do all her practice exams because the questions are similar to the exam.
super easy class, show up and you will pass. shes super nice and can email her and she'll answer asap. super caring and really does care for everyone to pass. unlimited notes and retakes on every exam. easiest stats teacher ever. i really do recomend taking her because there is no way you wont pass her class if you're not trying
She allows notes on exams, has online lectures recorded, is clear during her lectures and tries to take her time to make sure she explains herself enough. I actually waited to take her class because of the good reviews on rate my professor and I'm grateful I did. Highly recommend.
When she says "Be open minded," when it comes to learning the content for this class, take the advice. Be graceful and patient toward yourself when trying to understand the content, because if this is entirely new to you as it was for me, you are bound to be hard on yourself sometimes! She allows notes on all exams too!
