I am taking the online class and professor May understands that not everyone can make it to each lectures and labs on the time whenever is it given in live so she records each lectures and post them online. Her TA runs the labs and he is super helpful and also very nice! He and also professor May is willing to help you out anytime. I recommend!

It takes very little work outside of class to get an A in this course. Lectures are mandatory because of poppers, but she makes them so interesting. Her style of teaching is very natural and comedic and flows well. She is easy to follow along with and is very personable/approachable if you need additional help (in person or via email).

She know what she is talking about. I personally would like it better if she would stick to the script, but I was able to handle her adaptations to the class. You can tell she likes math a lot. She is available for tutoring a least once a week. My only complain is that she does poppers fast and lectures fast and I sometimes fall behind and get lost

This class is really easy to pass. She is a funny professor and gets to the point even though she goes of topic sometimes she makes the class engaging. You really do not use the textbook. You will only have to use it sometimes for homework assignments but, that's all.

Math 1314 was super easy with Prof. May. She's absolutely hilarious and lecture wise, she explains everything thoroughly. Attendance is mandatory for poppers but they're also easy! There's 2 homeworks due every week, along with a quiz but if you go to class, they're basically the same as working the notes. I would definitely take this class again!

Her lectures are organized,exam 4 was easy , exam 3 was the hardest and exam , she mails upcoming deadlines and gives nice advice through nails. Yes

She is great! She kept the environment in the classroom fun and enthusiastic. Although the class had more than 200 student's, she was always open to any questions anyone had about the material that was being covered. She is also quick when it comes to email's. I would definitely recommend! Hilarious. Fun. Awesome.

SHE'S MY ABSOLUTE FAVE!!!!!!! I Aced her class and she was never boring or a drag! Always smiling, very sarcastic but funny and very accessible !

Fantastic teacher. Although business calc is a complete joke she never stopped being energetic or sarcastic towards her students. Attendance is mandatory, but if you show up you will learn the material. Tests are very easy. Never got below 105 on any of them.

She is fun, funny, and makes the whole course easy to understand, do your homework, quizzes (you get to up to 20 times), Exam Practices (also up to 20 times), If you come in overly confident, and skip a few HW, Quizzes (drops 1), you will not get an A, like me.... but if you do all the required work, and try the quizzes and tests, you will do well!

Took her for a winter mini session of Cal 1 and at first hated attending online class so often, but she's so funny and easy to understand. She can be bit fast, but she provides every single resource you could ever want and is almost always available to help. I love Mama May!!!

Mrs. May is quirky, honest, and approachable. She takes the time to clearly teach each lesson/ concept. Easy class

She is really great at explaining things in a way you can understand. She is quick but that is nice because she covers everything which needs to be covered in class. She doesn't mess around (no BS type of teacher), which I appreciated. She is entertaining in class which made it fun. Material (HW, Quizzes, Tests) is standardized across classes.

I loved this class! She is very clear on how to do a problem. There was a lot of homework but they were fairly easy and she was available to help at CASA or her office. She was funny, sassy, and she could be intimidating because she is not afraid to call students out. There was extra credit if you did the practice tests. 4 tests+final. Good Luck!

Mini may semester. Easy class.

I took this class as a summer mini. There were video lectures for grouped sections, along with respective quizzes (15) that were easy 100s. 90% of your grade comes from the three exams. The latter two are in person and worth 35% each, but they're easy if you do the reviews. May also curves if you do the reviews. No other EC. I ended up with a 103.

Considering that STATS is not for everybody, she's an amazing teacher. She knows how to explain material so that you can easily understand it. However, don't expect to be able to ask a lot of questions because she gets annoyed easily. Attendance is taken through poppers & most of the material is online.

If math is your thing then you should definitely take it online since she provides you with all the notes and all the things you need to be successful. I recommend this class for everyone

This was my second time taking statistics, and I am so GLAD i took it with professor May. She made the material very understandable. You do have to come to class, and pay attention or else this class will be difficult. Blank notes are all in CASA, and she also organizes it very well, so you know whats due next. GOOFY as heck

I would recommend taking this professor online ONLY if you have knowledge of Cal 1. This course is heavy on the workload (poppers, EMCF, HW, quizzes, etc.). The tests had similar questions from quizzes and class problems. She is nice and explains the problems until you understand them; also helps with HW problems.

Best professor I've had at UH so far. She is funny, is very knowledgeable on what she's teaching, and teaches in an effort to be most efficient without wasting the time of her students. There are poppers that must be completed in class everyday, so make sure to come to class. Highly recommend her class for statistics!

May is a great teacher, given that cal is a decently hard class, she is pretty great at putting things in layman's terms. The course is a bit overbearing with all of the assignments to do each week, however constantly doing these small problems allows you to have little studying to do when the test comes around. She gives lots of extra credit.

She has a great sense of humor, and can be really sarcastic at times. Her lectures are fun to be in. Attendance is only mandatory for poppers but you can learn everything from the online textbook.

If you go and pay attention then great. Her attendance is not mandatory but but they have poppers which are taken for attendance and counts for a grade. Kinda scary to ask questions if she just repeated it.

She really is a fun professor that keeps you engaged throughout the entire lecture. She is funny and great at teaching the material. She lets you know what each test will be like and gives sufficient material to help you study. All in all, definitely take Ms. May, she's awesome.

She is hilarious. Her lectures really did not help with the weekly quizzes and homework but it was still an easy class. I don't like how she does her poppers because as we are writing notes, she would secretly write them on the board or something. Which I really think is unfair for those that take notes. Easy class because of extra credit. Easy A

So far, calculus has probably been the hardest subject I've taken but May was a huge reason why I passed with a decent grade. Her online class could be beneficial for some but make it harder for others to focus and I was kind of in the middle. Her lectures, however, were extremely helpful and she's great at thoroughly explaining concepts.

She's super funny so her lectures are not too boring. She teaches really well and it was easy to get an A in the class.

The best part about this course is that if you do the practice test, and get 100, you automatically get 10 points extra credit on your exam. She is hilarious. Although, she is not your grader for the course, but she makes the class bareable. It is not as hard as people put it up to be just because it is a "stats" class. She is a great professor. Ez

Always available if you have questions! If you do the bare minimum theres no reason that youll receive lower than a B. She gives a ton of hints for tests in her lectures and more practice problems than any other calc teacher. Many of my friends who took different teachers used my materials for their tests. Very caring!

One of the easiest math classes I've taken! She lets you know exactly what is going to be on the exam so there are no surprises. Always accessible outside of class and is very willing to help you. If you put in the work theres no reason not to make an A. I would totally take her again!!!

Ms. May is the best professor!! she simplifies everything and doesn't mess with any memorization. she teaches you ticks so you can be the laziest math student since she knows you already are. Poppers daily after week 3, usual math homework and quizzes required by the department.

She's hilarious. Yes she does get irritated at some questions but honestly I was getting irritated with the same questions. She would say something and then not even 1 min later someone would ask a question that she had just answered. She will teach you handy tricks and tells you what's on the exams. Also the practice tests are great for bonus.

Ms. May was sent from heaven to bless UH. This is my second class with her and like the first, I will definitely get the grade I want. I agree she can go fast but if you ever have a question shes available. However, she will become snappy if its obvious you dont care (dont take notes, show up late). Best math professor Ive ever had

I love Ms. May. I took her for PreCalc, as well. I am a firm believer in working for what you get - if you dont work and just expect As to come because thats what happened in HS, you are mistaken. Also, if you try to build your tower on pillars of sand, it will get blown away. Have a strong understanding in algebra - Ms. May is a good one!

About as hard as you would expect precal to be, which isn't very hard. She is freaking hilarious.

Amazing ,she delivers the necessary tools for you to pass and its up to you to take advantage of it .

First off this lady's lectures are hilarious. Really easy to stay engaged. Don't ask questions you think might be stupid unless it's during her office hours. Online HW and quizzes along with in class poppers make up 33% of your grade. Tests are wayyyy easier than the homeworks and quizzes. If you can study well by yourself, this is a guaranteed A+.

I feel like this class is easy if you've taken pre-cal before. She really dumbs the material down, and has funny stories for some concepts that'll make it easier to remember. 10/10 recommend

Professor May offered so many resources and opportunities that it was kind of impossible to fail, unless you arent putting in ANY work. Be prepared to work hard but coming out a better math student! 2 quizzes & 1-2 hw assignments a week. Surprisingly she was really rude when asked questions, I suggest going to office hours shes nicer.

Best math professor ive taken. Lectures are clear and engaging. Theres a lot of quizzes and homeworks but its managable. Her reviews are super similar to the exams. Shes available outside of class and is always willing to help. If you dont do well its because you didnt put in any effort, she wont work harder than you.

I loved having Ms May! Lectures are clear and offers many examples. GO TO CLASS THE DAY SHE DOES THE EXAM REVIEWS!!! She is very helpful and offers many resources outside of class for tutoring. Poppers are really really easy. she is funny and if you have her early in the morning she isnt cranky or anything so it motivates you to stay up.

For online CALC 1 (winter mini) : Mrs May is hands down the best teacher for Calc. Hilarious, witty and more importantly, knows what she talks about. Some lectures are required, but GO TO THE EXAM REVIEW SESSIONS. She gives really great advice on what to study for the test ("hint hint"). Work and persistence will be needed in this course. Great Fun

The fact that there is an online math class for Calculus is honestly a blessing in disguise. You get time to actually work on your poppers unlike face-to-face lectures that require you to answer within a few minutes for attendance. All of the assigned work she gives is actually set by the department and all profs have the same work load soooo.....

Easily the best LECTURER in the math department. Teaches it extremely clearly and avoids extra info you won't need. This is a freshman college class, so the poor reviews are because: they got bad grade, May called them out for not paying attention, or they didn't bother reading before lecture and expect her to spoonfeed it to them in lecture. 10/10

Professor May is one of the best professors i've ever had ! She is very good at teaching new material and has very engaging lectures. She also does lots of examples in class that helps build your knowledge on the material. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN ! She's amazing !

She is one of the funniest professors I've ever taken. It's nice having a laugh in one of your more difficult classes. Her lectures are very clear and perfect for grasping a concept as long as you go to class. Before every exam, she has a very thorough review in class, as long as you come prepared with questions. Great teacher!

Prof. May is a really good professor. She teaches in a clear manner and gives plenty of examples for problems you might run across on homework, tests, or quizzes. She gives you the popper questions ahead of time so make sure you do them. She is a little rude if you ask questions, but she knows how to teach in a logical manner.

Im honestly surprised her rate isnt higher. Shes a very pleasant person. Made the course as simple as possible. Though the work is heavy, I believe its for us to practice and become comfortable with the concepts. She was extremely helpful, worked through reviews, and stated what would be on exams. Do the work, easy A.

Calculus is hard in general, but May made it enjoyable (and this is from someone who didn't like math entering the course). Her test reviews were awesome and she'd straight up tell us what was going to be on the exam. Took huge weight off my shoulders! She's sassy, but she wants her students to succeed and learn math.

You can ignore pretty much any negative review here. Freshman have an expectation that they won't need to study in a college level math course, and blame the professor when they fail. Professor May is a great lecturer, and online math courses are great because you can rewind and pause when you need more time. Took a W with West, getting an A now.

Lots of work but its for your benefit. Cal1 is difficult for most and to do your best follow her advice! She tells you exactly what type of problems will be on your exams. Her TA is okay. Her personality is spunky and she is very sweet. DO NOT BE RUDE or she will put you in your place. To do well in this class, stay organized and follow her advice.

As someone who did a little college, went military, and went back this was one of the better professors. Didn't realize how much I forgot but stayed for her after class sessions and she was incredibly helpful (and more friendly!) with any questions I had. Seems to really care that you do well as long as you put forth the effort.

Calculus 1 was an OK class, you definitely have to keep yourself on track as it's an online course. Falling behind will be difficult to catch up with the material. Professor May is a great professor at explaining the concepts and information, she prepares you for the exams very well. Take her if you have taken online classes before.

If you struggle with math then take this professor. Ms. May is such a great teacher. She explains the material well, and really wants her students to actually learn. She goes the extra mile to help us. She made videos at 3 am and posted them for us to go back and watch them which she didn't have to do at all. She breaks down the tests very well.

Professor May is such a great teacher. Topics can be really hard to understand at first, but if you actually do the homework and quizzes it will help. Bring questions to ask her in class and she can gladly help. Actually do the homework!! I can not stress that enough. GO TO HER REVIEW DAYS!!! If you're gonna some days, go on the review days.

Professor May is one of the best professors I have ever had. This class will require work and practice but as long as you do the homework, quizzes, and show up to class and ask questions you will be fine. She is very funny and she has made herself accessible outside of class due to the shift to online learning. I highly recommend Professor May!

Make sure to do the quizzes before class time so that you can ask her question right there and there. Love her way of teaching. Easy A ;)

Dr. May is an excellent math teacher who clearly explains examples while moving fast at the same time. She leaves time at the end of units for questions and prepares you well for tests. I have taken her classes twice now and would continue to take her classes. You don't need the textbook but examples help on tests.

She often has a habit of not showing all her work but if you watch her lecture videos and you don't understand something, I recommend pausing the video and work out the problem until you're able to understand it. She often gave out answers for poppers and I love that about the class.

Im an engineering major so precal was pretty easy for me. You definitely have to put in the work tho, but it was by far one of the easiest classes I have taken at UH. There is a lot of homework tho and quizzes. If you make a good schedule for yourself and study accordingly you should pass.

I already took Calc one, from my pov it was really easy, but the class will be difficult for those that are fresh. Very quiz-heavy, rushy with lectures/notes. Good for covering test material and she also does review nights before tests. Overall, not bad of a professor. Just be on top of your work and you should be fine!

She teaches Calc 1 in a way which allows me as a student to understand what she's teaching. She has good notes for us to follow and plenty of practice/quizzes which helped substantially when it was time to take the tests. Overall a great professor to take for any math classes.

Shes really funny and sweet. Calc tests were kinda hard, but just go over the material and you will be fine.

I really enjoyed Prof. May's class. She moved fast but she also gives time to catch up and ask questions. Make sure to do the practice tests because those can be added for bonus points on your exams! Plus, they're good practice for the test. Her lectures were fun and enjoyable too! You don't really use the textbook, but they still make you buy it.

Professor May was a good Professor for Calculus 1. Although she did go really fast with her lectures, she helped me with preparing well for the tests. I aced all of my exams thanks to her, including the final exam. So take her.

An A if you put in the work. a lot of practice tests are online (very similar to tests) and they tell you what the free responses will be. The homework is helpful as well as the quizzes so I would recommend doing them. They drop the lowest homework and quizzes. I will say the workload is a pain in the butt though.

Amazing professor. I dont know if the bad reviews were left recently, but she is awesome. She made and record her own review that was closer to the actual test than the official CASA test review, she made recordings of not just class, but tutor like videos. I didnt go to class very often, but without Dr. May, I would have been in hot water..

Basically like all other math teachers. Her lecture videos need to be watched to understand what's going on in class and everything is graded through CASA. There's quite a lot of classwork to do every week but it's a super easy class as long as you keep up with the assignments and her.

Best professor for cal 2 and for all math. Way way way way better than that melhat professor.

Great math professor. She is super helpful and always answers any questions you ask.

Absolutely fantastic. I took this class in the summer so it was very escalated, and as someone who's not particularly great at math, Ms. May was amazing. She doesn't just stick with the standard course content. She gives honest advice and tips on how to actually make sense of everything and just offers so much help. 10/10 would DEFINITLY recommend.

Goes a bit fast on Cal 2 so you really need to know basically everything in Cal 1. She does try to help and have office hours to ask questions. Even gives credit when you know what to do but got the answer wrong. Very fair grading overall

Took this course in person + have heard awful reviews from online courses. I loved her. I am good at math so work was relatively easy. I enjoyed the way she spoke during lectures. Is very attentive to teams as well + is willing to answer questions. Tests came with a review similar to the test. She sets you up to pass if you follow her guidelines.

Fairly easy, I barely studied and got an A-. Class is test heavy 3 tests 16% each and the final 22%. Extra credit for each test (5 each for regular and 10 for final). The professor cares about her students but she does get annoyed often. Usually, around 2-3 assignments a week, and she is very accessible if you need help from her.

Really easy. She always checks teams and answers questions. She's fun but can be a bit sarcastic and gets upset when students ask questions that she thinks they should already know. Aside from this, she's really good at teaching and very helpful. Test reviews are extremely helpful. Extra credit opportunities. 2 lowest hmwk 2 lowest quizzes dropped.

I really liked this professor, although she can be entertaining at times and is pretty great at explaining the material, she can be stern and will not budge for special adjustments. She does teach pretty fast sometimes but she genuinely cares about her students doing good and works on trying to make the best outcome there can be.

I really liked Professor May, but she does go pretty fast and expects you to have a lot of background knowledge. A little passive agressive.

Professor May is the best math professor I ever had! She gave me back my passion for Math. If I can get an A- after being out of school for 3 years she can teach anyone! Yes she is a little snarky with her comments but she does care for her students and will help during office hours. Will take again for Cal 2!

Dr. May was so great this year, yes her lectures are fast paced but she makes them interesting and useful and she will stop and answer a question for you. She greatly helps students with videos and creates study guides for them and there is a running discussion page where you can ask for help. This class truly is what you make of it though.

Professor May is amazing. She shows each step to solve the question in the lecture, except for those obvious ones. She even went over the review for each mid-term exam and gave a clear understanding of how MC and FRQ work. She definitely makes Cal 2 easy to learn, even though I never had her for Cal 1.

really great prof ! really got you to understand whatever she was teaching and .occasionally goes over and tells you about questions that are going to be on the test. heavy workload! expect 1 hw (harder than quizzes and tests), 2 online quizzes, and lab quiz every week. does give out like 5 pts of extra credit per test and replaces lowest w/final.

I loved Prof May's class! She keeps it real and really motivated me to stay consistent throughout the semester. Doing calc online was hard but her along with Navid (the TA) did a great job at getting us through the course. I do agree that she was a bit rude at times, but also undertsand her not wanting to answer "unnecessary" questions cuz of time.

May is quite snarky (don't be late to class). She is, however, a great Calc 2 teacher. If you apply yourself in the class and have a solid base, you will do good and learn a lot. Insane HW/quiz load but May can't do anything about it, that's on the math department :( She responded quickly to my emails and at her core wants students to succeed :)

Attendance is 5% of your grade and is done every lecture through poppers. She gives out weekly quizzes and written homework. Your TA can help you out a lot if they care. Attendance in lab is done with a quiz every Friday. Overall she cares about her students a lot and is available outside of class to help, especially during her office hours.

Dr. May is the best! I have had her for 2 semesters now and she is absolutely wonderful. Alot of people say that she gets triggered easily, which she does, but as a professor she is great. Go to her office hours and get to know her and she will be your best friend. Math at UH in general is a lot of work, but its good practice.

She's a good teacher and people seem absolutely upset because she doesn't like students asking too many questions in class. You can ask questions as long as you wait for her to let you speak. When you are confused, go to office hours, don't ask during lecture. If her teaching is not for you, you should go to recitation, the TA's will help you.

She's an oddball but she's great; her lectures are pretty engaging and she goes back over stuff when asked. The way she explained volume completely trumped my AP classroom explanations; I went from having no idea wtf volume was to being a master at it because of her :) We'll see how the semester unfolds.

She is very energetic and cheerful during lectures and she goes back over stuff when asked. If you need extra help, go to office hours and she'll help you out. There are poppers in every class, which give your grade a little boost. The quizzes have 10 attempts and are pretty easy, and exams are pretty much the same as the practice test and review.

Great professor with great lectures online. Made the class easy to study for, as long as you kept up with lectures and the quizzes. Overall she provided plenty of resources to help you ace the exam as long as you kept up with your work. She had office hours often before lectures if you had any questions about the homework.

Dr. May can be a bit snarky, but she's a great Calc 2 professor. The workload is intense, but if you stay on top of it and use resources like unstuck AI, you can excel. Just don't be late to class!

She is such a sweet woman and an amazing professor. She makes sure everyone understands the lecture and doesn't shun questions. She makes the lectures fun and interactive. Attendance is required, but it's only 5% of grading. If you do miss lectures, you can still succeed because she posts the notes after class. She prepares you to do well in tests.

Very sarcastic and humorous sometimes. Attendance is SUPER important to her so you HAVE to show up to the lab and lecture. She is quite passive-aggressive when you ask questions in class though, it bothers her when you try to correct her work but she was right. Her office hours are fun and helpful. She has weekly hw and two quizzes due each week.

Lots of quizzes!! The workload might be the same for all Calc classes but I suggest completing the quizzes a week before. She does attendance by quizzes on Canvas but they r easy. She might seem scary at 1st but I will say she's willing to answer any questions and help with any problems you can't figure out. The practice exams r like the real ones.

J May is a fire professor. She is the only calc teacher I have taken where I understand the curriculum. Just show up to her online lectures and participate and you'll be fine. Otherwise, don't take an online math course. Very kind teacher and honestly just wants company during her lectures. Explains everything very well.

I absolutely love this teacher, I ended with a 98 in the class, she is hands down one of the best pre calculus teacher ever. This was a really easy class, she makes videos of all her lectures if you missed class, quizzes are easy, I would advice doing the review materials she provides because it is the test, put in the work and you will succeed.

I thought may was great. She explained the concepts really well, was responsive to questions, and provided enough material to where, it I didn't understand something during class, I was able to work on it outside with resources she had provided.

Really nice and funny, sometimes talks fast so if you stop paying attention for just a second you can get lost She is pretty good at going over questions and reviews problems in class, exam reviews are basically what is one the tests. A lot of homework (in my opinion) but I liked her class

She's a great lecturer & breaks down concepts rlly well. The only time she would be visibly annoyed is when ppl asked questions over something she just explained. (Which is understandable.) My issue is w/ how the class is structured which isn't her fault. It felt chaotic at times.

Dr. May was a fantastic teacher who was funny and excellently taught calc 2. Show up for every lecture for attendance and for lab as well.

Dr May is good. Take her

I took her for the asynch precalc winter mini and I really liked the class. It was fast paced with a heavy workload, but if you dedicate time to studying, you should be fine. She held occasional online meetings where attendance was taken which was a bit annoying but not too bad. The lectures she provided were excellent and easy to understand.

The in-person exams are nearly identical to the practice tests and hw review she gives you. There's also attendance questions but you can just watch the VOD to do them. You also have to do online quizzes and you get 10 attempts. (Pretty easy) This class is fast paced but if you do well on the practice tests and reviews you'll ace the exams.

At first she may seem rude or what not but trust me she wants her students to pass and understand every problem. Attendance was mandatory and exams very decent in difficulty. Homework's were long and quizzes were also long. But trust you'll get used to her but she teaches clearly and compared to my calc 3 professor I miss her ngl.

Unless you're naturally bad at math or something, I don't see why you can't easily get an A in this class. The tests are identical to the quizzes/test reviews, so just doing the homework and taking notes from the videos is enough. Unless you struggle with math/calculus, the lab quizzes and poppers are really unnecessary.

Ms may is an awesome teacher for discrete math as she is very entertaining while also being very knowledgeable about the material. She doesn't test in casa, and she does not have a midterm or final exam just regular test over the lastest material.Her lectures are very engaging and wont make you fall asleep or be distracted easily.

Professor May (or how she tells you to call her: Ms. May) is the absolute best college instructor I've had. She is the sweetest lady, and she explains the Calc 2 problems really well. She will tell you what goes for the exams, and if you go to to office hours you have a guaranteed success in the class. Take her!

Ms.Jennifer was a great professor she was very caring and was always there to offer support. although her class is hard she always made sure to be transparent about it. if you watch her lectures and study hard for the test you are sure to pass with an A

Terrible at math and was scared to take her because of these reviews, but she was amazing. She gives you every tool to succeed, lets you practice test questions multiple times, and genuinely encourages her students. Do NOT be deterred by these ratings. She cares and it shows! She only gets sassy when people ignore instructions lol. Highly recommend

I am being so for real when I tell you to not be discouraged by the bad reviews. Those simply do not catch on to her humor. As a Math major, I would choose Prof. May for ALL of my math courses if I could!! Attend all her lectures and you WILL be successful. She's very engaging and is clearly VERY knowledgable in her profession. The absolute best!!

I enjoyed having Calc 2 with her because I love a funny and lively professor. Calc 2 isn't terrible, just do the homeworks and quizzes on your own and you are set for the exams. Dr. May loves being able to help her students in class and she encourages her students to go into her office hours if additional help is needed. She is awesome for Calc 2!
