Very easy class.
She was easy to understand.
DON'T TAKE UNLESS YOU ALREADY UNDERSTAND SUBJECT. SHE TRIES TO MAKE JOKES BUT SHE IS THE ONLY ONE LAUGHING. SHE'S NOT THAT HELPFUL NOR IS THE MATH TUTORIAL AT "VSC". DON'T TAKE UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO RISK GPA.
Miss Lowe was very clear, and very helpful in college algebra. She took her time to make sure that all students could understand the material.
THIS CLASS WAS THE ONLY MATH CLASS I MADE AN A IN, SHE MADE ME UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS
Very easy class, very understandable. Only problem with it is that its too early in the morning & everyday of the week (M-F 8-8:50). But if you're willing to get up early enough, its a very easy A. Just do the work.
Very easy class if you already have the algegra concepts down, very understandable. Only thing is that its too early in the morning & everyday of the week (M-F 8-8:50). Just do the work and you will get atleast a "B".
I love her she's great! Awesome teacher and positive attitude!
this is a teacher that tries to add humor into the lessons but just can't cut it.
I've never had a teacer so enthusiastic about math. She understands that things do happen and that you are taking other classes besides hers.
Don't be fooled. This teacher makes simple math much harder than it has to be. She'll give you easy homework, then put hard problems on the homework. Don't take her unless you enjoy teaching yourself.
She is such a sweetheart... shes like a sweet grandmother... aww
Her class was the only class I looked forward to this semester. Always there when you need her. She is very motherly. Absolutely recommend 100%. Wish I could take her again, if she only taught statistics :)
She is a great teacher and anyone who has the option to take her should! I made an A in her PreCalculus class and if you pay attention in class and do her examples you will too. She doesn't grade homework so your only grades are your 7 tests and the quizzes add up to one test grade and those are your only grades. You choose if you take the final.
She is helpful and emails you the notes so if you attend class and feel them in it is easy.
She is helpful and emails you the notes so if you attend class and fill them in it is easy.
She is the greatest prefessor ever!
I love Ms. Lowe! She is one of the coolest math teachers @ VSU. She tries to make math jokes...enough said lol. She is extremely helpful and gives great notes. She rarely does extra credit, but take advantage. She gives tests questions similar to notes and homework. Go to class, take notes, and you'll do fine.
She does breeze over everything in Math 1113 (precalc), just working problems without clearly explaining what she is doing. I know we're supposed to be familiar with algebra/trig already, but does that mean she doesn't have to explain anything? If you're supposed to already know it why offer the friggin class?
Her class was very simple: She works problems in front of the class, and those are the same type of problems that will be on the exams. She tells you exactly what to do. I would say don't take her if you know you are extremely bad at math, she did not seem to understand what people were asking when they were confused about something simple.
This class was very easy. She gives you straightforward notes. If you know how to do the problems from the notes and review, then you will do well on the tests. She lets you choose whether or not you take the final. I never opened the textbook. This class is an easy A.
good notes and GOOD STUDYING will do you well. All her tests however are fill in the blank. NEVER multiple choice. I never really got much half credit. She makes little cheesy jokes that are lame but cute. nice lady.
I took her for pre cal and I made an A she explains the material really well and I would take her again in a heartbeat
Greatest math teacher I have ever had! She explains things quickly but thoroughly. Tells corny jokes, but the math I have learned because of her is worth the jokes. Great teacher, completely recommend her to anyone.
I loved Mrs. Lowe. I took her for Precalculus and it was really easy. She's great!
Awesome teacher! Explained things thoroughly and some days very quickly. Do the homework and it's a breeze! Also, she takes roll every day starting exactly on time, so don't be late! For this semester, if we missed less than 3 days we could opt not to take the final- awesome!! Sends notes out before class and does a full day of review before every test. Very funny, such a sweet lady, and she definitely loves the Blazers! If you have a chance, don't hesitate; take her!
Great teacher! I love this lady! She is nice in and out of the classroom and she really cares about her students. If you want to walk out of math knowing something, then take her for sure. Her notes are online and it's easy to follow along in class. She is the greatest math teacher I have ever had.

Mrs. Lowe is one of the BEST math teachers I have ever had. She explains things very well. If you study her notes and do the homework assignments on MyMathLab you will do fine in the class. I think it's very important to go to class so you understand everything she is teaching. GREAT TEACHER, TAKE HER!!!
She was a fantastic math teacher. Her notes are simple and to the point and she gives a lot of useful worksheets. The tests are mostly vocabulary words. The only thing is you go over a LOT of websites. but the class is easy and the teacher is great :)
Well, precalculus is a hard class. But, she makes it easier and explains things well. She really helps with the calculator and always cancels the class before the test to review or a free day!!
Sweet lady. Very helpful, always answers questions, and helps you use calculator. Give some extra credit. Loves sports. I recommend her.
LOVED Mrs. Lowe. She was a great teacher and extremely helpful. She gave handouts for notes that you all filled in together during class. Tests were sometimes difficult but only if you did not do the homework that she suggests. She was very sweet and funny!
EASIEST A of my life! She's an amazing teacher and very helpful in the classroom if you ask. I wish I could have had her for more classes simply because she was that great of an instructor! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to take her.
Amazing teacher, very easy to understand. If you just go to her class and visit her office for the things you struggle in, you'll make a B at least, possibly an A... This was the only class I ever looked forward to in my 3 years at Valdosta State! :)
Very sweet lady. Helpful and clear. I would 100% recommend her. I always struggled in math until I came to her class. She gives a lot of homework, but it's very beneficial. Pay attention and do your homework, and it will be smooth sailing all semester long. Plus, she gives extra credit and a take home section for every test. Take her!!!
Terrible professor, does not explain the material well at all. Also is not helpful when you ask for help. She would do problems in class and do them completely wrong.... students had to help her. Not worth the risk to your gpa.
She goes very fast through the lessons and will give you the easiest examples possible. Then when it comes to the homework or the tests she gives a lot harder problems and you will have not have any idea answer them.
THIS IS JUST LIKE A HIGHSCHOOL CLASS. Everything is spoon fed in easy, slowly explained lectures. Dull but very thorough. Hard? I would have said Nah but I did make sure to study hard after a C on the first test. Once learned how she tests it wasnt bad. Everyone else says it's hard. ??? I'm not a math person but I did well enough to get an A
Easily distracted and spent more time fussing at students then teaching it seemed. Don't even be late, actually don't even be 2 minutes early, you'll be tardy. Don't think about using your phone to check the time, she'll make her Student helpers kick you out. Wayyy to many assignments and never any clarification. Rude and sassy. Do NOT take!
To me, she was hilarious and made me laugh a bunch. She is straightforward on what to expect the very first day. Attendance is MANDATORY, She has about 5 tests, seven quizzes, ton of homework assignments and book assignments. Tutoring and the College Algebra lab are the best ways to ensure that you will pass. Notes are posted before class to print.
Ms. Lowe is a very easy professor to understand. Her class notes are provided (given you print them) and she walks through the lessons at a manageable rate. The class was a bit boring, but she can only do so much to make the class interesting. Nonetheless, her tests are not too bad as long as you STUDY. Go to class and you'll do fine. TAKE HER!
High school spoon feeder. Very easy
Really, really, really easy class. Shes super nice and funny (corny) but makes you giggle. I only showed up for attendance, and doodled all day in class. Passed with a B+, if I actually put a half of an effort into this class It wouldve been an A+. But I didn't. Studied 2 hours before test. Might be difficult if math isnt your thing.
She's a great teacher! Really sweet and funny. I realized precalculus wasn't for me, but thanks to all the MyMathLab assignments I still got outta the class with a C.
She spends more time complaining about students then actually teaching. She will literally stop class and rant for 10 minutes if someone has an emergency bathroom run. She gives harder questions on the homework and on test than what she goes over in lecture.
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. She posts notes online, which you have to print and bring to class. You simply follow along and write what she writes and you're good. There were 6 tests, which weren't hard if you studied. She assigns online homework, and let us redo any we missed. She even gave us an index card for the final.
She is absolutely the best math teacher I have ever had. Extremely sweet woman who takes the time to make sure you truly understand the material. Math is my worst subject and she helped me not hate it as much! I recommend her to everyone!
VERY EASY. Easy A if you put in the time to study and do homework. She's incredibly corny and has a weird laugh, just go along with it and laugh at her jokes. Doesn't allow anyone to leave the classroom. Do not pack up early, she will make everyone stay late. Just study for 30 min and you'll make a A on all her tests. Easier than high school.
Mean teacher, only really cares about the athletes. Won't help unless you play a sport. Hard tests, lots of homework.
I was open minded coming into the class, and came out very disappointed. I studied like crazy for every test, did all assignments, and she didn't even count the extra credit. She doesn't explain in depth and moves fast through everything. She never reviews. I would not take her again.
She's great!
If you are not a math person, do not take her. The way she explains things is not clear, her attempts at humor fall painfully short, and her classes are exceedingly boring. She offers opportunity for help all the time and is almost always in her office, however in class she is not particularly great. Don't show up, you will struggle, so much.
I use to not like math but be really good at it. Now, after her class, I hate math and I'm not so sure what 10 times 10 is anymore. She is in no way clear when teaching but you do get to use your calculator quite a lot which can still get confusing. Her attempts at humor only makes it worse. If you like boring and weird then you will adore her.
Called me by the wrong name for the first two weeks of class at least. She is bubbly and cheery and I just don't like her. If you show up and do the work, you'll get an a and the class is easy, but the teacher is just someone i can not stand. I would not have taken her if I had another choice.
She forgets that life exists outside of her classroom. The class/material was an easy A, she's just very inconsiderate and not willing to make exceptions or help you out circumstances arise that you can't control. Not willing to help at all.
Gives a study guide for every tests. There are tests just about every 2 weeks. She outlines notes for you and tells you to print them out. There's no other way to get the notes from class if you miss though. Gives a lot of homework problems that most likely won't even be related to the problems on the test.
The class wasn't hard, tests are different from notes.
She is so easy! In class, we just do notes and she goes step by step on what we need to know (she takes full class times and is sometimes boring), and the tests are the study guide with different numbers. The downside of this class is its only 6 tests (80% of grades) and final (20%). She gives out extra credit on all tests if you do homework.
"If its not on the study guide, its not on the test" -Janice Lowe She's super easy! Lectures are boring but it's easy, there are some tests where she has a "no calculator" part but it takes less than 5 minutes to do and the study guides are the tests. She also gives out extra credit if you do homework on the tests.
States if you have questions to come see her. Upon doing so she simply instructs you to do other problems in your book and doesn't assist further. In class, she speeds through everything and doesn't explain well. Several occasions she's made snide remarks or made condescending noises when giving back tests. If you struggle w/algebra dont take her.
She's kinda rude and when you ask her a question she'll just repeat the same thing and say it in a smart way. When I took her class we all failed the first 3 tests and went to her as a group and told her we needed extra help, she responded by giving us take home tests for the last couple tests and the final.
she is A great teacher goes through steps very well and if you need her to go over it again she will lots of extra credit give during the summer semester and is understanding on everything but the test. her facial expressions make it all better
If you ask her to go back over a problem you didnt understand you can tell she gets annoyed. Dont let her check your test to see if you got something correct/incorrect it will be your fin grade for that section of test. Will cancel class on day of test review! Homework is about 40 questions if not more only gives you about 3 points for it.
The way she teaches just didn't work for me. It seems all you do is take notes and then take a test (lots of tests). It also seemed like she didn't really want to help me pass. I failed every single test and went to her and asked what I could do and all she said was to "study more". I now have to retake this class next semester.
She offers extra credit with EVERY test, so definitely take advantage of that. She cares about her students success,so if you don't like the way your grade is looking in her class I advise you to speak to her as soon as possible. She will explain how you can pull your grade up. Homework is due on the day of the test
I took her in the summer, so it was fast-paced. She gives good lectures and even give us example problems to do with her in class and always ask if we get it. She also gives out extra credit and worksheets to help boost your grade. You just have to make sure you study the material and you will pass.
This was the worst. She gives loads of packets to which she will do the example problems. She doesn't explain why we take the steps in a problem, she just does it. There's loads of test, loads of quizzes, the homework she assigns doesn't match the practice problems she gives. It goes 0-100 in regards to her packets and test. Don't take this.
Show up to class and take notes and you will make a good grade. class can be boring.
Mrs. Lowe is a really nice woman, but I did not appreciate the way she taught. When I went to her for help, she was unable to help me and seemed disinterested. I like her outside of the classroom, but her teaching style was not for me.
Honestly professor lowe is a great professor. I was skeptical about taking her due to everyone saying she's horrible but I believe she is the best. Math can be hard in general but she actually helps you and takes it slow. The professor can also be acceptable outside of class and besides the test, the only way to fail is if you don't take notes .
I wouldn't say calculus is hard itself, but it's more so based on how it's taught. I struggled to understand a lot of concepts in this class, we take tests almost every 2 weeks and they are open response w/ few multiple choice. Make sure to show your work or your problem would be counted wrong. She's a sweet lady though. We also used MyMathLab.
I took her for survey of calc and it didn't go well. She was very nice and all but she wasn't good at explaining her math and how she got her answers. Also you have to print out your own notes every morning before class (because that's when she emails them) which I didn't have time to do. Her stuff on the board was hard to read.
Good professor. Her lectures do take all class period, so don't expect to leave early. She makes you print out your own notes (don't have to), but If you don't you'd have to write everything out yourself. (and you may fall behind trying to catch up in lecture) If you have any questions, she'll explain it over again, and not make you feel stupid.
Dr. Lowe cares about students. She wants you to pass, but she expects you to put 100% effort into her tests. You only get online homework and tests. The tests are hard and short. The homework is easy, so it doesn't really prepare you for the test. check your tests when you get them back, she often marks problems wrong when they are not.
She moved very fast in class when lecturing. She also gives ALOT of homework on Mymathlab. But besides the quick movement and homework, she was a fine professor. If you need extra help, shes open to answer questions. Tests were difficult because everything moved so fast so I didnt feel like I had adequate time to learn the material.
She's nice with a great attitude and answers your questions when you're confused. There are 6 tests (LARGE grade percentage) along with a final that replaces your lowest test score. The HW is MyMathLabs which are easy completion grades. If math isn't your strong suit, I advise you to put forth a lot of effort to make a decent grade in this course.
She gives all the homework for a lesson a week before a test most which usually totals 100+ questions. She's very old school in the way she teaches and you just follow along when she teaches.
Verrry organized. The lesson plan was incredibly easy to follow. Sometimes class was even let out early. I never failed a test. The online assignments made sure I knew how the questions on the test would be. I would take this teacher again.
She just moves very fast in class which makes it harder to learn but she his open to questions. There was a lot of homework online with a lot of questions but it can help learning the material in class. Test were a little hard when it seems like none of the problems were like the ones work on in class.
Lowe is a great teacher. She has detailed notes and makes it clear what you need to know. She uses Mymath Lab for homework and grades. Your lowest test grade gets replaced by the grade you make on the final. The final was short and simple, just an overview of most things covered. Pay attention and ask for help and its a straight forward class.
I liked her class. I'm not really sure if attendance was actually mandatory, but you do need to go to class in order to understand the work. The quizzes are on paper, so you need to study. You also need to get a T1-84 calculator. You need to try to get a good grade, but calculus isn't easy anyway. Pretty average professor.
Professor Lowe is such an amazing professor. Her lectures take the full class time, but she explains everything and stops after every problem to ensure no one has questions. The class does have tests about every 10 days ,but if you study hard, they are fairly easy to pass and most of the time they have extra credit. Highly recommend this professor!
She's a good teacher and a really nice person in general. Her lessons were always very clear, and she gives lots of examples. She takes attendance most days, and, if you miss, you have to get the notes from her in class, so just be mindful of that. There are a lot of tests, but I honestly preferred it that way. She made the class easy.
