I recommend avoiding Dr. Carter's classes unless you are already familiar with the subject material and are just taking it for credit. Easy grading system, but terrible teacher. Rambles, jumps around during explanations, insists on teaching "just like the book" even when makes it more complicated. Not particularly helpful either.

Horrible Horrible Teacher. I have no idea how this woman got a job teaching math. She doesnt have an adequate grasp of the Mathematical concepts to be teaching it to students.

You might as well not go to class and read the book instead. She makes the final worth 30% of your grade, and makes it very hard, so what small chance you have of a good grade is sabotaged.Takes her forever to get back tests and frequently cancels office hours.

As one review said, she seems to lack the fundamentals. Easily goes into 'confused mode' when student asks a tougher question. Cannot really explain/teach concepts. Tests not impossible, but throws ppl off b/c it only contains 1 ques. / section in text covered. (<10 Qs per test) I'm sure there are better profs out there to choose.

Don't take Carter if you're not looking for an online class. The lengthy amount of online homework doesn't correspond with the lectures, which are based off of theorems.

A word to describe Prof. Carter? "Demoralizing." Far too much of her grades are focused on tests, but equal time is expected to be devoted to sections that are only worth 19 of the total score tests are worth. Doesn't show for her own tests, and only shows concern for struggling students when it's too late to do something. Find another teacher.

Dr. Carter is AMAZING! You can tell she truly cares about her students and wants you to pass math. She creates a very good environment where you can feel safe asking questions you might have felt stupid for asking. The material is super easy to follow through, she goes through things slowly and takes the time to make sure everyone understands.

Dr. Carter helped many students understand statistics even when the concepts were really tough. She teaches pretty slowly, which did not work for me but helped a lot of my classmates. Her notes are very detailed and her practice test looks exactly like the test (you can literally use the internet if really needed but definitely not necessary).

I loved having statistics with Dr. Carter. The material in the class was very straightforward, and Dr. Carter taught it in a way that was easy to understand. There are 3 tests in total, homework after every class, quizzes, and a final group project. All the exams were open book and open note. Overall, I really enjoyed this class!

She's super lenient about homework due dates and even drops your lowest test score. I barely attended classes because she posts recordings of the lectures to let students review or complete on their own time. all tests are open-note. The only way you can fail this class is by not doing the homework or tests.

Dr. Carter is the best math teacher I have had in years. Her lectures and notes made sense, and she answered students' questions with thorough explanations. The class is hard, but that is because it is calculus. If you don't have a good pre-calc basis, you will struggle, but Dr. Carter will support you if you reach out to her. I recommend her class

She goes out of her way to make sure you're uncomfortable. Maybe if she put that much effort of being insufferable into being an actual well rounded professor that taught well maybe her students would like her more 🤷. Don't ask her questions, she'll humiliate you and make you feel incompetent when the problem is her teaching and hostile demeanor.
