Great teacher. There is 2 test and a final exam. There is online and written homework to be done that is due everyweek. She takes pride in teaching and knows her material. The tests are hard, but if you do your homework you should be fine. Go to her office if you need help.. Overall, she was an okay teacher.

I don't get why others rated so low. Yes Trig is a hard subject, but do the work and you should be fine. She gives good lectures. If you don't get it then go talk to her. She wants you to pass & does care. Half the class passed and half failed, but those who failed didn't prepare enough. She's a nice lady. 2 test, 1 final, and homework every week.

She is a pretty great person and she clearly cares a lot about her work. That said, I felt that she didn't get enough time to go through the class. Trigonometry is not hard but it has some concepts that you need to practice to fully understand, and the entire time I felt rushed. You'll need lots of extra study time for this class.

She was well organized and delivered the information in a clear manner. The tests were difficult and the online homework didn't accept answers in the format she prefers, but overall she did a really good job. I would take another class from her.

Weekly quizzes, tough tests but very generous grader. She is always willing to help and answer questions. She is about the process of the problem not just the final answer. Best math teacher I've had so far!!!

I came into Calculus with a bad taste from past math classes, but I was pleasantly surprised here. This is not a class you can miss very often at all, and there is a considerable amount of homework and quizzes. I'm halfway through my semester, and she is the best math teacher I've ever had. I highly suggest.

Very tough, but a highly engaged and personable professor if you get to know her. Utilize the free math tutoring center at BSU and you should be able to make it. Come in to visit her during her office hours if you still are stuck. Jean gives you the opportunity to earn back points on tests by proving you've mastered the knowledge.

Jean is an awesome teacher. She explains everything very thoroughly and answers all questions without getting upset. As long as you do the work you will pass the class with ease. She knows what she is doing. She is also very lenient and wants everyone to pass.

Great teacher. Hard, but extremely fair. Knows how to explain new material and is willing to assist you to help understand difficult material.

Jean is an incredible teacher. Her assignments and tests are hard, but she's a generous grader if you clearly show your work and all steps involved to get to your answer. If you go to class and even so much as just copy what she writes on the board and do your homework, you'll do well.

Getting an A in this class is possible, here's how I did it: have a good foundation in calculus 1, go to every class, do assignments on time, and study (to some degree) for each test. It's a little bit hard to keep up with every thing I mentioned, but it's what students should be doing anyways.

If you do the homework, come to class and get the required help, there should be no problem getting an 'A' or 'B' in the class. She is a very generous grader. makes time for students outside of classes. Tests are very tough, but if you have done the work and put in a few hours of study for the tests there should be no unexpected material

She is an AMAZING professor, yes, the class is hard and Math is hard, but math is hard if you refuse to do the homework and spend time on it. It is a 4 credit class so you have to put the effort in. I read comments below and I can tell you that if you are not lazy and willing to work hard you will be really happy to have taken the class from her!

She's the reason I passed calculus. She knows how to teach math one small step at a time & build on it. She makes you work to understand the concepts. Be ready for worksheets. It's hard trying to struggle through math language for the first time. If thats not you, take it online. She teaches real world examples & concepts. Then gives u step by step

Jean is a good teacher. Her personality is pretty brusque, but I she is a nice and caring person. Her class was not too challenging for me because I have had Calc before, but I definitely had to make sure I kept up on the homework. There's a lot of it. You have homework due every class, and extra over the weekend.

Jean can be frustrating at times because she's a typical math teacher but overall she taught the class well and gave us many opportunities to review for tests. The LA in class helped a lot. Her grading is mostly done by TA's so it can tend to be inconsistent. She grades written assignments hard but tests fairly easy.

Tough grader and lots of homework. I did learn a lot,but it is a fast paced class. Go to the LA sessions and you will do fine. Dont plan on getting an A though if you want to have a life.

Jean is a great instructor. She will make you learn the material. If you don't show up to class you will fails the class, bottom line. If you show up and learn you will have a fun and interactive class.

Jean is an awesome teacher and person. The people commenting that she is bad obviously did not put any time into the course. If you show up to class each day, ask questions when you are confused and do the homework then anyone can earn a good grade. I wish all math instructors structured their class like Jean does.

Jean teaches very well. If you expect to show up to class and get an easy A with no effort (I'm assuming that's what the negative reviews are) then don't take Math 160. Pay attention and ask questions. She does give a decent amount of homework but what else do you expect from a math class? The LA sessions are helpful if you need more help.

Jean is one of the best professors I've ever had at Boise State. She always begins class going over the previous homework and answering questions. After, she hands out a worksheet (which corresponds to the homework) and teaches the material. She is clear and concise and I always knew what was expected of me. If you put in the work, you'll succeed

You have to take Math160 so take it with Jean or you're are making a mistake. I went to a differnt prof for a week and they straight up didn't teach. Jean taught me the most about math in my entire life. Lot of HW but its 4 credits. She gives the tools you need to learn. And after exams a chance to get part credit back on missed questions.

Jean is absolutely amazing. If you have to take Math 160, definitely take it with Jean. The class consists of worksheets for each new concept and then doing an online worksheet that directly corresponds with that class' worksheet. She is a very clear teacher and is super willing to help students with questions. The class is extremely structured.

She is very passionate about math, the best math teacher I have had in all of my school experience. If you actually want to learn (as you have come to college to do), Jean will help you accomplish that.

It's a shame to see so many poor reviews. It's clear that she's passionate about math and wants everyone to learn. There is a lot of homework but each type of assignment has a purpose. The biggest problem, at least for me, is the replacement of lectures with worksheets. Some instruction before going through worksheets would be a major improvement.

Jean is an AMAZING professor! I will say the course was challenging and there was a lot of homework, but if you dont skip class and go to LA sessions the class is a cinch.

I haven't yet finished the semester with Jean, but she is awesome! You have at maximum three assignments per week. A week before each test, she put out a practice exam that was fairly close to the actual exam. Definitely go to lectures and office/LA hours, and ask questions when you need to. She is a great math instructor.

Honestly, this class IS hard, especially if you don't put the work into it. You will have about 4 homework assignments a week, with some written assignments as well. She grades harder on the WA's than the tests so make sure you put time into doing them correctly. If you are motivated enough to get an A it's completely doable!

I loveeeeee Jean, she will call out people who dont do their work. If you do all of the homework assignments before class time you get 5% extra credit. The only thing is you have to be particular about the questions you ask but she has open office hours and will stay after class to help. She does also have learning assistants for this class.

On the first day of class you sit in groups of four with other students, so it is important that you sit with kids you think are good at math because you will be working with them for the rest of the semester. Most of the bad reviews on here are from kids who either didn't show up to class or didn't do the work. If you put time in, you should pass.

Jean is nice and helpful, and I think people have left negative reviews about her because they don't like the class itself. If you show up to every class and ask questions (whether to her or math tutors), you should be fine. This class is a 4 credit class, so you have to go into it expecting to do hours of homework each week.

This is an extremely fast-paced class and some of the subject matter can be difficult, but Jean tries her best to offer help where she can. She offers an amazing amount of extra credit opportunities for the online course, always helping to boost your grade if you put in the effort. Not super warm but nice enough. Also weekly participation required.

Despite the negative views, Jean is the best Math 160 prof out of the current three.

Jean is amazing at what she does. You could describe her style as "tough love." It's a hard class and she won't make it easy for you, but you can see that she does it because she wants you to learn it. She cares about you and will work with you when you inevitably need it. She doesn't give BS assignments, it's all necessary. Jean has my respect.

None of these reviews match the experience I had. Jean is great at breaking down complicated subjects into simple pieces and building up from there. She would give you a note sheet for exams and tell you exactly what you need to know for the exam. She also seemed to genuinely care about her students. Exam review sessions with the TA were good too.
