She's cute...her exams/quizzes are sloppy as all hell. But the class is somewhat easy. Try not to miss any classes because it can really mess up everything.

She is extremely kind and wants you to do well in her class, she hosts study sessions online before major tests or quizes to ensure you get a better grade. She is funny and creates a great class room enviornment. As long as you study and do all the homeworks you should do well in this class. I strongly recommend!

Took her fall 2024, what can I say she's amazing and very caring. I loved her hilarious math poems, she's there for all her students. the homework (once a week) wasn't bad and a couple of quizzes. I am going to miss being in this class but I wish her the very best. 5/5 stars!! EXCELLENT MATH TEACHER TAKE HER

This professor makes math approachable by connecting complex concepts to real-life situations with humor and clarity. She's quick to respond to emails, flexible, and committed to student success. Stay on top of work and ask questions—she values curiosity and ensures no one feels intimidated. A great teacher!

Her analogies in understanding the graphs and trigonometry is helpful for the students. And she is so energetic at her age that she kind of flies the whole class solving and teaching. This can be one of your best classes.

What a gifted and enthusiastic professor Dr. Hirsch is! She's very enthusiastic about math and in our well being. Had too heavy a load and test anxiety didn't help so my final was terrible but she's easily one of the best teachers I've had in my life. Sign up early and make sure you get her. She's one of the best in her profession.

Professor Jenna is my favorite professor in BMCC, her teaching style is very inspiring. She explains everything in a very easy and realistic way, she is very patient when you don't understand, she will stop and explain again. Highly recommend you to take her class.

Genuinely one of the most kind hearted and passionate professors i've come across. She makes topics incredibly easy to understand and takes the time to go over them if you're ever struggling.

Prof Hirsch is obviously extremely passionate about math. I loved the way she explains things and if you don't understand then she'll help you understand. Sometimes the class was a bit fast for me but I think that's just because I'm not the best at math.

Asynchronous LOVE Professor Hirsch. Every week there are two lessons, she includes a recorded lecture and a printout so you can follow along with the lesson. Discussion board every week and quizzes every two weeks. she really made this course enjoyable. This was my last math course of my degree very glad it was done with Professor Hirsch.
