Great teacher! She's very kind and helpful. She's also very flexible with her schedule and will take time out to help tutor you in the math lab. She allows re-takes on her tests and will go over old tests to help you improve. She's also very funny and cool to be around.
This teacher is positive, and uses positive encouragement. Will give half credit for working out prob on tests. Lenient on grading homework, and is helpful if you ask for help. Seems cool, down to earth, and wants you to pass her class. I would love her for the next course, but she is not doing that class for summer session. Darn. Recommend Ms. K.
Ms. K Rocks !! She is always spending extra time with students to help them pass her class and get good grades. And she'd make a great pictionary partner !!!!
Before i took her as a teacher, i failed this same class the semester before but now i actually understand whats going on! Im taking her for every math class that i need!
BEST TEACHER EVER!! I got an A in the class without spending much effort, she is very nice and kind, I took MGF1106 with her in the summer, and I am taking a second class with her in the fall (MGF1107) and in this class we don't even have to do tests.. only presentations
I really enjoyed this class. She's very helpful and wants everyone to do well. The majority of this class is based on group presentations which are usually fun to put together and watch from the other groups. I would definitely recommend this class to someone else.
Team Kakascik! I love Ms. K. I'm soooo taking her for my other math classes. She's super clear and very funny. Really good person and one of the best teachers I've had so far. I hate math, don't get me wrong, but having her as a teacher makes it waaaay easier to digest
Ms. K has an interesting approach to teaching this class. Everything is group project based, which can be good and bad. I feel I learned my sections very well, but I just learned enough of the other group's items to pass the quizes. But overall Ms. K is great and makes math lots of fun!
She is a very good teacher and laid back. You work in groups all semister, so you will get to know them pretty well. Make sure your in a good group because you will be sitting by them and working with them everyday. Easy A if you do your work and SHOW UP!! There are no tests in the class just projects and homework.
There is no better way of taking MGF1107 than taking it with her. It was such a nice relief to NOT be stressed about a math class and just having fun with it. I wish she'd would teach College Algebra like this :)
She is the best math teacher I have ever had. She has a fun classroom and actually knows how to make crazy math make sence. Sometimes teachers know what they're talking about but no one else does. Not Ms. K! She keeps it real! If you make sure you show up to class you'll understand and you'll pass!
Best Ever! Wish she taught other classes!
I really hit the jackpot with this one
great professor made math easy.
SHE IS AWESOME!!!
Shes a really sweet lady. Great teacher....explains everything really well! Easy to talk to and is really down to earth. Great professor! THE BEST MATH TEACHER ON BRANDON CAMPUS!
She is AMAZING! Come to class and do your homework and there is no way you wont get an A.
She is very informed about what she teaches. Totally blew past my experience with previous math teachers. She explains on a level that anyone can understand, and goes at a pace where even the slowest can keep up. Very approachable and she is glad to help you with any questions you might bring up. She will explain until you understand.
I absolutely hate math and she made it so easy for me! Not only is she a nice person with a great personality but she knows what she's talking about and makes it so easy for everyone. I don't think I've gotten an A in math since elementary school but I got an A with her! She's by far the best! I wish I could have all of my math classes with her!
Mrs. K was by far the best math teacher I've ever had throughout all my years of schooling. She really truly cares about her students and she's always trying to give anyone the extra help that they need. Very sympathetic with her students! Her teaching methods were crystal clear! Every single student in my class adored her. Highly recommended!!!;)
shes awesome and a great teacher who actually cares
Omg, she was absolutely fabulous!! TAKE HER CLASS!!!! I loved her, she was absolutely wonderful, please, if you struggle with math cuz it sucks, seriously take her. She is super patient, she doesn't treat you like you're stupid, she is laid-back, chill, understanding, cool, just... she's awesome. Trust me. She rocks, take her, PLEASE take her!!!
Best math teacher I've ever had! I'm a horrible math student and I passed this course with flying colors. Highly recommended!
SHE IS GREAT..Understanding..Awsome teacher...does easy section of the course...test are easy she tells you whats going to be on them..projects are a easy grade and fun all-a-round...take her class keep her here..
greatttt teacher!keeps u interested! She made math easy even tho i hate it!take her for easy A!:)
Awesome! She is a great teacher. First fun math class I have ever had. I am horrible in Math and passed with a B. She is very helpful and gives a lot of extra credit opportunity.
She was a very good teacher for this class. She was very helpful if you didn't understand something. Alot of quizzes but that really helped reinforce what you were learning. I liked that the final wasn't cumulative, it was just the last chapter. Also once you took a test on a chapter you never saw that material again. Good class, good teacher.
AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE. BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!! IM HORRIBLE AT MATH BUT SHE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING CRYSTAL CLEAR.. AND SHE WAS A GREAT PERSONALITY! VERY "PEOPLE PERSON". I AM GOING TO TAKE HER AGAIN NEXT SEMESTER FOR 1107. SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT HCC!!!! TAKE HER!! ~L.V.
In college, when you take your basic requirements, there have barely been any professors that have stood out to me. That is until Mrs. Kakascik. She's very enthusiac, highly motivational and super friendly. I greatly recommend her to anyone. She gave me hope in learning math.
Excellent teacher. Math is not my friend but Mrs. Kakascik made it me realize that it is easy. Highly recommended.
She doesnt go in depth with the sections, she will use only one or two examples, when showing you how to do it & its from the book,it not her own. With me, you just cant show me a problem one time and expect me to now how to do it right away. Im a slower learner in math. So if your like me dont take her, but over all she is a good person.
She Is Absolutely Awesome, I Loved Her!! She is easy going helpful easy to understand. Just do your homework and attend the classes and your good!!
Great teacher loves teaching and very helpful
She is available to tutor in the Math Lab at least 2 days a week that I know of. No in class Algebra time is ever enough time to learn it all. You have to seek extra help unless you are gifted. She is very willing to help out. She also tends to be lax in her assignments. She is creative and "visual" in her explanations. Overall: Great!
Awesome teacher she really makes everything very easy and keeps class fun.
SHE'S A REALLY GOOD TEACHER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER COMMENTS ARE TALKING ABOUT. I WAS BAD AND HATED MATH BUT AFTER TAKING HER CLASS MATH IS MY FAVORITE SUBJECT AND IS NOW EASY. SHE GIVES OUT EXTRA CREDIT, AND TELLS YOU WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON TEST. OVERALL SHE'S A GREAT TEACHER...TAKER HER CLASS!
homework on mathxl...she drops the lowest test and quiz..great teacher
She is AMAZING!!! I had her for trig. and she was awesome. I got an A, she provides a lot of extra credit, math xl is used, and she her reviews are almost exactly like the test. Their is no reason with ,some effort that anyone shouldnt get an A. I would def. take her again for any other math classes!!!

She is simply AWESOME! An amazing teacher who is fair with her grading, and extremely helpful. She will give you tons of sayings to remember things with, and makes note taking easy. She is also an amazing person personally. Very kind hearted and generous. If you can get one of her classes, TAKE IT. PERIOD!
TAKE HER CLASS she's awesome, and you WILL learn from her! She just rocks!What other math teacher have you had who has a pinball machine in their office? I rest my case!lol.You'll love her! If I got an A so can you! Sign up for her class, but know the next time she teaches a class I need you'll be competing against me 4 a seat and I'll be early
Ms. Kakascik is an incredible Math teacher! :) She makes class fun and explains the material perfectly! I definitely recommend her. She is very fair about grading and is available outside of class if extra help is needed. All around great person! You'll regret not taking her class! Hoping to take her again in the future!!!
I just LOVE her. I am very bad with math and have always dreaded it. Math lately has been my favorite subject and I don't think I've ever said that. If she offers the next math course I need I will take it! Highly recommended.
Mrs. K is one of the greatest teachers ever. Math has always been hard for me and she is the only teacher that explains everything so easy. She is nice, kind and actually cares about her students. I drive across town just to take her math classes. :)
AMAZING TEACHER!! the best I have ever had! I take her for every math class I can.:) she really cares about her students.
Great math teacher. Wanna take her for all my math classes. She cares alot about her student's success.
this teacher is just amazing and she's so friendly too i recommend her to anyone trust me when i tell you you won't ever regret taking her class she doesn't even make you buy the textbook :) her class is simple and she gives you a week to do homework! overall she's one the best math teachers on campus and not to mention she looks good too :)

She's very clear with her teachings. Every example she provides is from the book. HW is on mathxl and tests are multiple choice and sometimes short answer is mixed in. Provides extra credit oppotunities. Also has easy grades with the notebook check.
She's really nice and has cute stories she shares in class, tries to help the best she can. However, all she does is just writing a math definition and the examples from the book. I can do that in my sleep.....and I'm terrible at math-just sayin'
Great teacher!!
Best teacher ever! Take her now! She will not leave any student behind. She will not move on to the next lesson unless if everyone in the room understands the previous one. If you don't pass her class there's something wrong with you.
I think this might be her first semester teaching business calc. She's a good teacher and means well, she just doesn't explain things too well. She just does the problem on the board and kinda expects you to understand the material. She gives a review for the test, which is much harder than the test. There's tons of Math XL online homework -___-
Yeah, I think this is her first semester teaching Business Calc. Just know that sometimes you have to learn the stuff yourself. Homework is on Math XL and they take FOREVER. Overall she is alright. She tries.
Mrs. K is nice and all, but if math is not your subject then i recommend finding someone else for business calc.
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! She makes sure everyone is on the same page and will even push back HW and tests until everyone is caught up. Uses Math XL and gives mult ways to earn extra credit. She is a better advisor than student advising and keeps you updated on important school info too!! Oh, and she's funny as well. LOVE THIS TEACHER!!!!!!!!
She is such an amazing teacher and she truely cares about her students. She will do whatever it takes to help the student pass. Obviously the student needs to try though. She is fantastic - If you want to pass and learn- Take Mrs. Kakascik!!
Recommended! Nice, very helpful, clear with explanations. Has homework from MathXL, doesn't require book, makes you record formulas etc in a workbook. Offers extra-credit.
Great teacher, always willing to help. Gives out extra credit. No matter what your level of math is you should take her!
LOVE HER!! Best teacher ever! She's unique, funny and super smart, truly cares about students, she has helped me a lot, I used to hate math and now I love it cause I understand it,the way she teaches is awesome,I'll always remember this teacher,she'd do anything to help students, I totally recommend her!
3 words! She's the best! TAKE HER
Prof K. is a great teacher. I'm not that great in math but received an A. Do your work and pay attention and you'll come out on top. I promise! I did it and so can you! She gives a lot of homework but only for you to understand what you will be facing on the test. She gives a review before the test and play games to gain extra credit. Take Her!
Mrs K. is one of the best teachers in HCC. my wife took her last couple years and I took mrs k last semester.. if you want A take her although I got B but only because I didn't do no much homework and give an effort for this class. Mrs k is very unique and friendly will work with you on any problem you have. recommended TAKE HER
She is a great teacher. If you have a question about math you should ask her for help because that is what she is there for. She helps make math better for students to understand and she also uses MathXL which helps with test preparation. She is nice and understanding but math is not and easy subject so you MUST study! I had her for trig.
Joann Kakascik is just THE BEST OF THE BEST. Great teacher,wonderful as a person. Take her.
SUPER HELPFUL!!! BREAKS EVERYTHING DOWN! LOVE THIS PROFESSOR :)
MS. K is an awesome teacher. One of the most passionate instructors around. Her class was on Salvador Dali and she knew her stuff. The work was easy and enjoyable. Final exam was to take a Ms. K guided tour of the Dali museum. Loved it! Take this for your exit course!
Love this math teacher! Trig is a difficult subject, but Ms K will get your through it! 3 chapter exams and final, with online homework. She gives partial credit on exam questions (written parts) and shows you what you did wrong on the test. Is always willing to help when needed. Cares about her students! I took her 4 different times.
Professor Dye is awesome! I took the Salvador Dali and not only did she know her stuff, but she was passionate. She made it fun and entertaining. Great professor. Would definitely recommend her for your exit course.
Took IDS with her. Topic was Salvador Dalii and other surrealist artists. It's only a 5 week class. No grades, you either get satisfactory or you fail. Super easy to pass. But there are weekly assignments to do, a group project, an you have to go to the Dali museum with her all in a matter of 5 weeks. So just be prepared.
Math has always been hard for me, but she made it very easy to understand. She is very thorough. She reviews her tests and is always willing to help out her students. I will be taking her classes until I complete my AA at HCC. :)
Taking her trig class online, her lectures are somewhat unclear and the problems she provided are too easy than the homework on mathxl. Would not recommend if you don't like math.
I thought Professor Kakascik was great! I took her online Trig. class. Math is not my best subject but she made it fun. Her lectures were really good and helped you understand the type of problem you were working on. If you study hard you cannot fail this class. She even rounded up my test grades as extra credit! Overall great professor!
exellent professor, the best teacher i have ever had for math.
Fantastic professor. As someone who is awful in math, she made it incredibly easy to understand. For the most part, I used to only ever get C's in math, but she taught so well that even I scored 85-98% on every exam. She makes nerdy jokes and makes class enjoyable. Attendance not exactly necessary, but she does take roll occasionally.
She is a good professor and an extremely nice lady. She does get off topic a lot but that's just because she tries too hard to make the students have fun and enjoy the class. She is energetic and enjoys teaching. I would take her again.
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE TAKEN YET! She cares about her students and the workload is super easy. She has a lot of hands on activities and makes the class interesting. I would taken her again for sure!
Take her on-campus, not online. The notes for the online class are a bit rambling and not as concise as I like for an online class. Not bad, but not the greatest in terms of other online classes I've taken.
First online class where I had to go to school to take the tests. Her reviewnotes are not very clear, the homework is a lot harder than her example problems. Have barely heard anything from her since I started class, too. Not a great teacher overall despite hearing good things about her. Sucks.
Doesn't teach her own class. Has someone doing (almost) daily online sessions, which can help, for her. Her notes aren't very clear, and ramble a bit. Pretty easy math class if you know what you are doing, but she requires you to take exams at the school, which is absolutely stupid. Will not be taking any classes with her again.
Joann Kakascik is as good as they come. Her IDS course is relating to the artist Salvador Dali, and her knowledge of the topic is first rate, as is her enthusiasm. I'd never really liked Dali, but she was such a fantastic professor for Trig that I wanted to take another class from her. She belongs at Harvard. She changed my mind about Dali!
I would definitely take her again. She is super nice and has the best sense of humor! You will actually enjoy Math class! If you have to take Math, choose her and you will not be sorry. She deserves an award for making boring math interesting!
Amazing teacher! I have taken her for two classes 1106 and 1107. I really enjoyed going to her class. She really cares about her students and makes math easy. Almost all of the math teachers at HCC cannot compare to her. Her students love her.
Professor Kakascik is awesome! I love how she makes math fun and easy. To think that I was so scared of taking Math. I got an A+. I actually enjoyed it. Yeah, she is that good!
If you are struggling in math of any kind, take this professor. She builds a relationship with her classes that shows she not only cares about her students academically, but that she wants them to succeed. She goes above & beyond for every student who tries their best. I hate math, but her classes were the ones I looked forward to every day.
Professor Kakascik was amazing! I took her for 1106,1107 and IDS Dali class. All three classes I took with her she had returning students in all of them as well. Everyone loves her and respects her. Students want to take whatever she is teaching because she is that good! I'm no good with math but passed with an A which is a miracle for me! Take her
Professor Kakascik is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. Math is a hard subject but the way she explains the methods and problems are crystal clear and helpful. Gives tests reviews that are identical to the test. Homework really helps you prepare for the exams as well. Only 3 online quizzes with multiple attempts. Take her!!
She is the best teacher so far in Math. You should all take her. She helps you one on one no matter the time of day. She gives out easy homework that will raise your grade tremendously! All you need to do is take good notes, do your homework, study and pass. Its that simple.
I took this class online and it was a breeze. Professor Kakascik will assist you in anyway possible.
One of my favorite professors at HCC! Shows a genuine interest in making sure her students understand the material. Presents material very clearly and makes the class fun and interesting. If you do the online homework and take good notes you will pass easily.
she makes the class fun and goes over the content very well -if you pay attention and take good notes you will pass- she also offers extra credit if you use the si services so take advantage!
Very nice and helpful professor.
she is one of the best professors ever seriously I recommend her!!!!! she is awesome and funny easy to talk too and understandable I LUV HER
She's honestly a great teacher. I like her a lot! Would definitely recommend
Nice Professor but it's a ruse. I took Professor Dye's course with the intentions of understanding Math, but Prof Dye does not break down the math enough and rushes through the content .Prof Dye overloads students with her assignments that are not intuitive .She also lacks authority in the classroom by allowing students to heckle other students.
The best math teacher I have ever had. I wouldn't have done as well if it wasn't for the way she explains everything.
If you've had horrible math teachers your whole life, taking a class with this teacher feels like a breath of fresh air. Be warned there is A LOT of homework, she does push back due dates if the class falls behind and is very fair about extra credit opportunities. The reviews are harder than the tests but that makes passing them easier.
Love, love, love her!! Class was enjoyable and fun. If you do your homework, go to class and study a little bit, you'll pass. Group project was a little annoying but a great option for a good grade. Final can replace lowest grade. Gives extra credit.
She is an amazing professor and I would recommend anybody who taking 1106 or 1107 to take her. She gives lots of extra credit and there is no way you could fail her class unless you just aren't paying attention. Again great professor and truly the best.
Great Teacher. Very art focused though so you have to do an art project at one point. And then a group project. Plus some of the homework makes you do arts and crafts. Other than that it's very straight forward. She wants you to buy a quadrivium book but they have it in library also she makes you buy a picture frame for art project. Lot's of buying
Great professor ! I'm not the best in math but she made it interesting and I ended up getting an A in her class. Her reviews are a lot harder than her exams but it makes the exams feel so easy. She was one of the best math teachers I've ever had. I definitely would recommend takeing her ! No textbook just a note pkt she makes her self.
I'm not great at math (even though my major requires a lot of it), but she made it very fun and easy for me to pass this class! She was an incredible professor and super understanding. Loved her so much! Will take her again for my next maths class!!
My favorite professor of all time! I would be glad to take any course with this professor because she cares and will do anything to help you. Go ahead and take her. You won't regret it. I promise.
She goes above and beyond for her students. She truly does care and want you to understand the material. There is a lot of homework so beware but they're used to help you pass the tests. I would definitely take her classes again
This professor was my favorite professor this semester. I am terrible at math but she makes it fun and easy. She uses terms that are cool and that make it easy to remember for the tests, things such as "Kill the decimal" which teaches you how to get rid of a decimal. I felt as though I could see her for things other than just math.
Best math teacher I've ever had! Unfortunately my peers in my class did not agree. She had a hard time controlling the noise level in our class, which is not at all her fault. The class is great if you aren't good in math, she also cares very much and makes it fun adding projects and very personal feedback. Plus she's a cutie.
I have mixed feelings about this professor. You will leave this class knowing Trig like recognizing your face in the mirror. She gives an insane amount of homework; more than I've had with any math professor. It was my life when it came to crunch time. I logged close to 125 hrs in MML alone. She is generous however and gives plenty of Extra cred..
Finally decided to take Math again after 3 years and she was honestly the best. Very clear and makes everything much easier. 4 test and homework is online as well as assignment pages not more than 10 questions. extra credit every class pretty much. Take her you wont regret her. Her grading makes it impossible to fail.
Okay I hate math with a passion but this professor made going to math class fun and interesting. This teacher was really inspirational and understanding. If you go see her in her office hours you will get mad brownie points and she'll even help you on your homework. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! She isn't easy but she helps you understand math.
Shes and awesome ass teacher, she cares about her students and tries to make the class interesting and informative . She gives out a lot homewok but she also gives alot of extra credict. She makes sure that u pass, but if u dont try shes gets pissed off.
I took P. Dye for trigonometry and she was wonderful! Trig was hard for me, but she made it possible. I took the class online but ended up spending time with her and her wonderful SI leader and they were both very helpful and great teachers. I can honestly say P. Dye inspired me to like math more, more specifically, trigonometry.
Awesome professor!! All homework is on mathlab which is really easy since you can fix your answers and get a better grade. She gives out extra credit through worksheets and is really helpful with the reviews before any tests. She really cares about her student would definitely take her class again 10/10
Mrs. Kakascik is an awesome math teacher! She really simplifies the subjects and makes them easy to understand. You do have to purchase my math lab, and of course do the homework, but her tests were not hard and she gives reviews prior. She is a sweety!
Mrs. Kakascik is an awesome math teacher! She really simplifies the subjects and makes them easy to understand. You do have to purchase my math lab, and of course do the homework, but her tests were not hard and she gives reviews prior. She is very nice and helps alotbso everyone can pass
Take her! You won't regret it. This is a teacher that genuinely cares for you and your success. She makes you work for your grade so don't slack off! She offers extra credit, bonus questions on tests, has a study guide for each test, posts recources online, and explains problems step by step. I'm AWFUL at math and I passed because of her
She was an amazing teacher and she was always trying to make the class laugh. The only textbook was her notes and they were so useful.
Professor Kakascik is an excellent professor. Her lectures make math easy to understand. There is a little bit of everything (geometry, statistics, logic). Doing the homework is absolutely necessary. There is group work, which I'm not a huge fan of and she also has some game based learning (not my favorite) but overall I really liked the class.
I am not the best at math at all. I know people always say they arent but I really am not. Professor Kakascick made it very simple with her notes and making sure each student understands. Theyre many ways to get extra credit as well. You will need to attended all classes she grades on attendance and she does notes every class session.
Prof K is AWESOME! She really cares about the subject and her students, at the end of the class we had to go to the Dali as a class group and it turned out to be a blast. This class is incredibly easy and as long atypical show up and do the few assignments you have over the five weeks: A+.
Mrs. Kakascik is a great professor. I loved the lecture notes i found them to be very helpful and a great reference when doing homework/studding for the test. The material is covered very well.
I love Professor Kakascik! I've taken her twice now and she really wants the best for all of her students. She is caring and understands that things happen so each person in the class is given two free days to miss without being penalized. She does a very good job making sure each student understands the material and gives great feedback!
Shes the realest. if math is ur weakest subject and u legit dont understand it and have cried in every math class you've taken since 6 grade. Then joan would be the teacher for you. Legit the only math class I've ever understand math. The leceture notes help alot and there is online work but it's so easy.
Professor Kakascik is a wonderful professor, she's very caring, understanding and kept the course very entertaining! Her grading criteria is straightforward and very fair, my advice is to stay on top of weekly assignments. Overall all of her assignments and the group project were fun and kept the class engaged. Loved it, best math course I took.
I loved her for IDS. The projects she assigned were fun, and she made sure that everyone was helped when we needed it. Definitely take her class!!
Professor K is an amazing math teacher who deeply cares about students and gives extra credit if we attend SI sessions, which help out. She also gives good advice and it's easy to understand her lectures. She also has a witty and funny personality, which can be necessary when a student is stressed. Take her class, she's awesome!
I enjoyed taking her class and it wasn't at all difficult. She does a really good job making sure everyone understands the material and gives lots of extra credit opportunities. She's also super quirky and easy-going, which I like.
I ALWAYS looked forward to Professor Kakascik class. She is just so passionate about what she teaches and it really does make a difference if your teacher loves what they do. She really cares about the students and gets everyone involved. She is such a positive person to be around. GREAT energy and I learned alot about Dali VERY interesting class!
I took her for another math class last semester and passed. she was just that good that I had to take her again. this math class was much easier and less work. I passed with flying colors. she makes math so enjoyable and is such a great professor. she really cares about her students passing their classes not just her class.
I regret choosing this professor I thought based off of the reviews, this would be a good choice, but unfortunately it isnt. This teacher is very unorganized constantly changing due dates of hw and plans for the class. Comes in late everyday, gives out wrong answer keys! There is so much material to learn and she gives you barely a week to test.
Out of all the math classes I have taken this one has been great for me! Theres more grades then test and homework so if you arent the best test taker don't worry you'll still pass the class with a C or higher! Very easy math class and a great teacher whose test are just like her reviews which you have to do!
Nice and approachable lady !
If you struggle in math, TAKE HER! She takes time to see if all the students understand before moving on and loves teaching. She is very caring and clear of what she expects in class. You wont regret taking her!
She is very caring and understanding. A little disorganized but she helps you out whenever you need it. She's very thorough and will go over problems if you have trouble understanding. Her lectures are taught very well. highly recommend.
She is amazin,she makes jokes and makes the class entertaning,every exam has extra credit and she does cares about the students,as l9ng as you do the hw pay attention at class and study with the review you should be good for the class.
She can be late to class so content gets rushed Dont take her
I had her for 1033 and she was great. She uses Aleks for homework which was very helpful. If you are struggling in the class she offers many opportunities for outside help either in her office or the tutoring center. As long as you try and ask for help you should pass. She tries her best to make you succeed in the class. She's also easy to talk to.
Love her!!! She is so easy going, caring, and super easy class! Fun lectures, interesting, and learned so much!
This teacher is all over the place. Constantly posts wrong information in the lectures, and being this is an online class makes it even more confusing. She also is not organized at all. I ended up dropping her class because of all the confusion.
You buy the notes and just fill in the blanks as she does the lecture. It's a lot of work but the way she does it really makes you learn. She likes to add humor and is willing to answer any question. Since covid, online work is about the same. The lectures turned into videos and she has meetings to go over the notes and answer questions.
Amazing professor. Gives encouraging feedback and replies quickly. Sweet and caring. Gives extra credit.
If you have to take a Math Class, Professor Kakascik is the way to go! This class was easy to follow because the assignments were due weekly based on the lectures, the topics were interesting, and the group projects were engaging. Professor Kakascik is fair, caring, and a fantastic educator.
This teacher is all over the place. Extremely unorganized! Her canvas setup is confusing you never know what the due date of her assignments is. This is my last semester so I have to suck it up and finish her class but I wish I never took her. If you struggle with math find another professor.!
An organized mess. She has her assignments set up by weeks but if campus is closed for a day it all gets thrown off. Constantly needed to be corrected on her math/notes. We were also always going 5-7 minutes over our class time because she never kept an eye on the time. Dont take her class if you want efficiency.
biggest waste of time. literally never take her class if you actually want to learn anything. lectures never matched homework. taught myself almost all of the material.
I enjoy being in her class. She is very open with students and goes the extra mile to make you succeed in class.
I did not like this online class AT ALL. She does not know how to teach things, all she does is read over problems and solve them. I literally do not understand anything about calc and I feel so unprepared for my future calc classes. I would never take her again.
I could not say more positive things about Professor K. I am terrible at math (add being fully online to that as well) and she made this class so easy to understand and follow along! If you do her notes, turn in the work, and do her test reviews you CANNOT fail. Her online lectures are OUTSTANDING and always accessible. Best math professor ever!
Professor Kakascik is the best math professor I've had. She teaches by lectures on Youtube and you need to follow in notes she gives. 2 open book tests, 2 Honorlock tests. LOTSSSSS OF EXTRA CREDIT SUPER EASY!!!
As a person, I absolutely love Prof. Kakascik. She's incredibly enjoyable, funny, and filled with energy. This spills over into her lectures and I honestly wish I could follow her into MAC 2311+. As a professor, she fuels her class on Almond Joys (inside joke) and her love for math. However, Trigonometry just wasn't my thing. Hope to see her soon!
I loved taking Trig. with Joann Kakascik. I often attended her office hours to be more clear about materials taught in class. Kakascik cares about her students. She was often late, but she made the lessons very cleared to her students. Kakascik also has videos to every lesson on youtube. KAKASCIK YOU'RE AWESOME!! Peace for you & your family.
Actually ridiculous for an online class, too much work for an online HCC Class. Be prepared to do a-lot of work for something that is only worth 3 credits.
She is a good teacher and her video notes are very helpful, the homework sometimes doesn't make sense, she has total trust issues, I can't use a calculator even though some questions are difficult and for the final even though honorlock is being used she will also have you get on Microsoft teams so she can watch you.
Honestly for how short this class was being a connections class I had one of the best experiences in here. Shes such a nice teacher and is really engaging with students. Its clear she cares and is very in touch with the youth and will always make sure the class is good. Amazing professor and a great person :)
She is a great teacher! She explains clearly when explaining new material. She answers quick via e-mail when I needed her help. I am not the best when it comes to math but I earned an A so that says something!
She is a great professor. I am terrible at math and all of her online lectures are very easy to understand, and she's always more than willing to help you with any questions you have.
Professor Kakascik is a great professor, lots of MyLab Math for homework, but the tests aren't too bad. Very unspecific about due dates, whether you have to take a test or not, but she is a very nice and caring professor.
I really liked this professor. I first took her mgf1106 class in
Good professor and good class. Homework and quizzes was through access code and it did counted on final grade, so do not let it accumulate. There were 5 tests total plus final. I tried not to miss any of the classes, because it was hard to catch up later on, so definitely try not to miss class.
I ended with a 101% overall and I did not try. The notes are fill in the blank follow along videos and she provides hw assignments for each note section. The hw is the hardest part in the class (done through my math lab). The exam questions are the easiest problems possible for every section so if you do well on the hw you will crush the exams
The video notes are super helpful, but the homework can be tricky. Definitely use unstuck AI to supplement your studying - it really helped me crush the exams despite the class being a bit disorganized at times.
A great professor who really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Attending the in-person lectures and taking notes on them is important, and attendance is graded. She gives many easy opportunities for extra credit on both exams and assignments. Attend her office hours if you're struggling, she's very kind and willing to help.
I used to hate math, but this ended up being my favorite class and my highest grade. The test and due dates were kind of unorganized and unclear but that's mostly due to the hurricanes. There's a lot of homework but if you pay attention in class it's pretty easy, just time-consuming. She's very understanding and is available if you need extra help.
Took MGF 1130, an amazing professor, she's very kind and clearly cares about her students. Very understanding and likes to interact with the class. Provides videos for outside of class if you need to work on a unit more but overall the class is fairly easy and she goes through the notes with you. Tests are weighted the most, but there is one retake
I took her online trig class. They should really disclose the fact you will be needing to go in person for all 3 exams. She assigns SO MUCH homework. Her videos aren't always helpful. I wouldn't want her again as a math teacher.. at least not for trig. I would recommend picking a different teacher if you are going to be doing trig online.
I took her online class. You will need to go in person to take the exams. The classroom is SO HOT. She assigns SO much homework. She isn't always clear on her videos. It can be very frustrating to try and do work for a class when the professor isn't explaining the concept well.
