Prof. Z is an amazing math teacher. She makes everything so clear, and if you walk out of the class not understanding what was going on, you definitely weren't paying attention the whole time; that's how clear her lectures are. She is also very understanding with absences, just don't go overboard. She gives A LOT of extra credit, so utilize that!

She doesnt grade anything besides tests, so if you fail two you basically failed the course. You need a 70 or higher and she wont allow you to retake tests, even if she screwed up the grading. She needs more grading opportunities besides the 5 tests she gives throughout the semester.

This professor is amazing. If you walk out of that class not understanding its your fault. She takes the time out to explain it over and over again. She gives you more chances to pass this class than any other professor I know. If you get the chance take her class, its so worth it.

Professor Zacharczyk was one of the best professors I've had. For being someone who never did well with math and always struggled in my mathematics classes, this professor made me completely understand what was going on and always offered to help if a student didn't comprehend what was happening in the lecture. I highly recommend her class!

She breaks everything down to the simplest possible terms. Plus, she's SO nice and her outfits are on point every single day. You won't catch her slipping.
