A superb educator
No Comments
Great lady, very personable, but needs to slow it down for the slow learners. Sometimes she thinks we know it and continues on with the assumption. What does assume mean? LOL
very nice teacher, but do not take her if you are not good in math. she goes at a fast pace.
This prof was the best math teacher I ever had - I wish I could have taken him with me when I had to take the other math classes. He doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions and he really wants you to get the material.
SHE ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE STUDENT UNDERSTAND BEFORE SHE GOES ANY FURTHER, BUT IF YOU STAY QUIET AND NOT LETTING HER KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS NOT CLEAR, SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO READ YOUR MIND
I don't know where she pulls those test questions from!?
I would never have passed without he help. She is truly devoted to her students. If she is going too fast in class for you, she asks you to be patient while she teaches the other students, then will sit with you privately till you get it. Very caring!!
She is great, she strive for all of her students to learn. She goes an extra mile to help students who don't understand the material.
First class teacher, knows what she is doing and very nice and fair. She is devoted to help. She made me love math!

Great teacher she will work with you until you understand the problem, and she gives you plenty of extra credit. She works with a program as opposed to a book which I like but the tests don't resemble the problems in the program too much. All and all she's the best and easiest math teacher I’ve had.
Very dedicated and caring. Uses cd which is helpful in giving solution for every problem!! Makes sure class understands , funny and Always ANSWERS QUESTIONS.
she teaches some topic very clear. She however is not lenient. If you get "69", save your breath don't ask her for one point.She will never give you..
I took 2 of her classes. Her lecture is clear and helpful.
She is a really good techer. If at least do all the homework she assigns and study them before a test you will be fine. She also helps you out if you have any questions behalf any problems. She has her times where you become lost but you can catch up easy!
She's a great teacher. A little rushed, but great. SHE TAKES THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO YOU. And makes sure you understand before going on.
she was very helpful she give us extra credit. you can always come to her office for help. you must do your homework because if you have a problem with the homework she will go over it because start a new lesson.
She was AWESOME!!!THE GREATEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD! She makes you love math! EXCELLENT explanations.Very helpful in class and during office hours. If you want to understand math she's the best choice. I have no words to describe such an OUTSTANDING professor! you have to be in her class to understand what I'm talking about!
best teacher ever!!!
She wasnt the greatest teacher in the sense that she really loses focus and her train of thought. So if your math skills are weak be prepared to spend time in the lab or doing all your HW. I cannot say she is a horrible teacher but she is harder than some others. So if you decide to take her do all your HW and Study !!!!
Sped through EVERYTHING!! When asked to explain things in detail by many students, worried more about falling behind than teaching. Missed TWO office hour appointments and thats just MY experience. Heard same from others. Four students out of approx. 30 students passed...only 1 with an A (I passed with a C). Bad teacher.
good class, thanks
Best Prof I've had. She cares if you understand. She won't spend too much class time explaining to one person who doesn't get it. Privately she will go over the material until you get it. She's never missed an appt for me and i had many. I hate math, loved Jodie Fry! Highly recmd.
she's always in a rush!!
FAILED THIS CLASS BEFORE,BUT PASSED HER CLASS WITH A B AVERAGE
Very good teacher if you are good in math but if you struggle in the subject better look for another teacher. Never gives extra credits!

overall, she is not a bad professor and also a really nice lady. However, the woman goes way too fast at times. So basically, if ur not an excellent math student and dont do all your hw, you'll most likely fail her class. My advice, DO ALL YOUR WORK, UNLESS UR A GENIUS IN MATH.
She's really nice passed her class with a C average. She helps you alot when needed but you really need to understand what your doing on the test. The final exam is extremely hard. Always on time for her appointments and willing to help you when needed.
SHE IS A GOOD TEACHER BUT IF YOU DONT STUDY FOR THE TEST OR IF YOU REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL YOU WILL NOT PASS. I PASS WITH A "C" AND THAT WAS BY PURE LUCK. BUT LIKE I SAID SHE IS A GOOD TEACHER, SHE MOVES REALLY FAST WITH HER TEACHING BUT SHE DOES TRY TO MAKE IT FUN.
you need to study inorder to get a grade, most kids failed and hated the teacher bc they did not study and failed the test! went after to check my tests and got extra points for finding mistakes! very smart and awesome teacher. i didnt miss a day of her class, thats why i passed with an "a"!
YOU MUST BE EXCELLENT AT MATH BEFORE ENTERING THIS COURSE!... When doing examples, she works out the EASIEST problems and gives you the HARDEST ones on the test..not cool!!! The ones that pass this class are the ones that already know math. If youu are not good at math, than I recommend you take another; ie: Spring, Marissa, Castillo..HOLLA!!
The best there is! Even if you dislike algebra, she makes it very interesting :) Very helpful, always there for you, especially appointments...explains in a way easy to comprehend...I highly recommend Jodie Fry...
She was way to fast and yes you need to know your material very well if you want to keep up with her
Jodie Fry, the greatest math professor ever. she made me fall in love with math. she does an excellent job. very good explanations! I loved her style. she makes math fun and interesting!
awful...simply awful. disliked her teaching style and didn't understand anything throughout the entire semester.
she is a very nice lady, but she goes way to fast. the test are extremely hard.
She sux at teaching(waaaay too fast).Professors are in class to to teach but she expects you to know every dang thing.Not everybody is the same. She has no consideration for those that aren't that good in math.Don't waste your time!
goes fast but covers all material needed to know on tests. Must study to pass. Good teacher if you want to learn, not an easy A
She talks really fast. And she's not very patient. But she is willing to meet after class in her office and is willing to help as long as you don't ask a question twice. Definitely not an easy A but not altogether awful.
Was terrified of this class since I failed it once before. Explains well, does move fast since there's a lot of material so not her fault...must study and she makes sure you understand
No Comments
not too fast if you do hw
Fry is a great math professor. She clearly goes over the all the material until you get it. The tests aren't that hard, just have to review your notes. She is always willing to help you after class and if you review your tests with her she gives 5 extra points for each test! I highly recommend her for anyone who struggles with math.
DONT TAKE HER!!!! if u want to learn, if you want to pass stay away from her. she has such a noncholant actitude, she is way to confortable at her job and believes she cannot be replace she can be nice at times but i simply would not recommend her
worst math teacher I've ever had. She thinks she is god's gift to students. She thinks that by having 2/3rd's of her students fail its ok and ITS NOT!!! please do not take her... you WILL fail... unless ur a genius... or get the math questions from a prev class
DOnt take her save your money she is one of the worst! she thinks not very well of the mat0024 class she has little to no patients and will look at you dumb if you ask a question.
IF YOU NEED MATH TAKE PROFESSOR FRY! SHE IS THE BEST! SHE OFFERS LOTS OF HER TIME OUT OF THE CLASS TO HELP STUDENTS AND OFFERS EXTRA CREDIT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK BUT YOU SHOULD! ALL YOU REALLY NEED TO DO IS REVIEW YOUR NOTES AND YOU WILL DO GOOD ON HER TEST! SHE IS REALLY AN EXCELLENT MATH TEACHER! TAKE HER!
gives so many examples that I didn't do homework. Would have done better if I did
She's fast paced (she a New Yorker). Great teacher. She keeps the pace moving but still is available if you're having problems.I waited for her to return from MLV just to take this course with her. Had her for Elementary Algebra. She rocks!!!
good teacher, but the tests are hard. she goes by the whole chapter in 2 days. on the tests, half of the stuff she didn't teach. and that's all the only grades you get: from the tests. if you want the credit, then take some other professor. take her only if you're taking this class only.
Anyone who can bring me from the abyss of failure to a grade C in Math,is a genius. This was my last attempt at this course, and prof Fry was extremely helpful. You've got to do your homework if you're going to keep up. There's an awful lot of material to cover and the tempo is brisk. Slow learners, and lazybones should enroll with someone else.
very nice lady, takes time between classes 2 help students...and she gives 5 extra points on the tests if you do come. Gives many chances for extra credit. Very fast paced...and tests are HARD. Its like she picks out the hardest questions 2 put on them. But over all a good teacher and a nice lady!
Good teacher. Very knowledgeable, speaks kinda fast but will always go back to help you at. Gives xtra credit after every test if u go to her office. DONT EVER miss a class or you'll be totally lost! fun class, she has a sense of humor! take her!! but make sure u PAY ATTENTION! its not an easy A
She is a very FAST pace teacher! She really cares about her students though.. offers plenty of EC & encourages you to go over your test with her. Its really easy to get lost in her class so make sure you get a good nights rest the night before class! Like any other math course, you just have to PRACTICE the material and you'll get it!
PROFEESOR FRY IS ONE OF THE BEST, IT IS EITHER YOU KNOW IT OR YOU DON'T.I DID OK, THIS CLASS IS A MUST TO STUDY FOR AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK. HER TEST ARE EXTREMELY HARD BUT SHE TRIES HER BEST TO HELP AND NO SHE DOES NOT CURVE IT. TAKE HER IF YOU WANT TO LEARN.I PROABLE WILL GET A C AND I AM HAPPY AS CAN BE.
EXCELLENT TEACHER, TAKE HER. She was so helpful. Before i had her my mth teachers did not explain anything, but she really knows how to teach. BEST MATH TEACHER I EVER HAD. Also, shes very nice so thats always good. I hate math, but she makes it tolerable and I actually got a B.
Great personality and very helpful if you come to her for questions. Although, her tests are hard. She gives these things called boarding passes which are kinda like quizzes and those suck. Most of the time it's stuff she doesn't go over in class, but you can go to her or the math lab for help. I wouldn't recommend her.
SHE'S VERY HELPFUL. ALL U HAVE TO DO IS JUS ASK HER HOW TO DO A PROBLEM N SHE WILL GO OVER IT UNTIL U GET IT. TESTS ARE PRETTY MUCH EASY IF U GO OVER HER NOTES. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING SHE PUTS ON THE BOARD!! BOARDING PASSES ARE A GREAT HELP FOR UR FINAL TEST GRADE! I RECOMMEND HER
don't believe a word their saying about her. She is not that easy. she goes really fast and she does not give a review sheet. I think she's paying them to say good things about her.
She is very nice and helpful. The only bad thing is that her test are extremely hard because they include the rare math problems with the weierdest answer that you will see, but she gives you points even if you don't get the right answer. Theres alot of extra credit.
What everybody is saying are all lies. She doesnt care if you understand she does give extra credit. She doesnt use a textbook for the class which is crazy. I told her she was going to fast and she catch up, not willing to help. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
You have to study to pass the class,but its worth it. The only bad thing is the boarding pass, they take time and are not helpful at all. Test are hard, but she gives points for steps. Great math teacher, you'll remember what you learned and she really cares about your grades. She wants you to pass. Class is hard but she is the best teacher at math
She is the worst teacher ever. Too many exams and boarding passes which she gives before the exams are overwhelming..
Her test are not multiple choice and there are 10 questions and you have to show all your work. You have to know math to get a good grade. Doesn't collect hw and the boarding pass questions are not on the test. Did I say that her test are not multiple choice? So why are you still reading this?
Do yourself a favor DON'T TAKE HER.
She does so many mistakes during the class, when u r studying examples at home, you will notice alot more. But, if u do any on exam, No mercy..really fair huh..
i hope you like greasy food cuz shes gonna fry ur ass...and you can enjoy your greasy food while you spend your nights trying to figure out what the hell is going to be on the test.great at teaching but tests ?s are compounded versions of what you study be prepared to work hard for your C..
terrible teaching skills, does not go over chapters, so if you don't understand find a tutor, she only gives 10 questions per test. would not recommend anyone to take her
She teaches thorough examples, and then she gives you something totally different on the test, which are freaking hard. we have to worry about a homework, a take home test and study for the final in the same week, what up with that? don't take her, there are much better teachers outthere.
do your homework!!!!! problems right from notes and homework, tests very thorough and really hard if you don't study. Signed up for her Precal class since I am confident I learned lots
the homework on math xl are super easy and her test are horrible. there isn't nothing better than the book cause it explains better than stupid math xl. when you get a high grade on a test she takes points for the smallest thing, but when you get a bad score she lets you slide with small mistakes, which i noticed.take someone else.
run away and don't take her. your test grade will go down from the 1st exam.class is real boring makes it painful!! i am not bad in math and i found her real boring. i had to teach my self the graphs because she does not explain that well.
How come she got this smiley face on here but all I can say is RUN AWAY. There are alot of good prof. out there..
One of the best math teachers i've ever had. She does go fast but she explains it clearly. Has a good personality.
I lost my enthusiast to math cos of her. I got 50 hrs credit classes so far and she is the only one who gave me "B", rest of it is "A" THANK YOU FRY
I remember asking a question the second day of class. With her replying she doesn't have time for stupid questions. I went to a boarding school where if a teacher dared to speak this way, without reason, she would no longer be employed there. Need I say more. Taking two other classes this semester due to certain circumstances. Passing with A's.
maybe you don't like her because she doesn't give you a review sheet for the test, but she doesn't teach a test! I learned so much in her class. Her reviews are fun too, she puts music on while we work out problems in a group....all for extra credit to the test .
as far as her saying stupid question,she would never say stuff like that, she was my teacher for 3 different classes. I think I was in your class when you asked if her to repeat a few things cuz she said 23 hundredths and you kept asking how when your answer was .23. And this was trig!
Pro. Fry is a very nice teacher but she goes extremely fast. Its kinda hard to keep up with her if your a slow learner, but if your not then you should be fine. Tests are NOT multiple choice so you gotta know your stuff.
very unclear with her grading. Her teaching methods are extremely fast. And makes students feel stupid... I tried my hardest but she still failed me.
Very thorough.Knows her stuff. I plan on taking the next class with her.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! TIPS: DO NOT BUT THE BOOK, you don't need it. The MathXL cds is what she teaches from... You must do your homework to pass this class, although she DOES NOT grade, collect, nor check homework... it's to your benefit to do it. I took her for Intermediate Algebra (passed with an A) and I plan to take her for PreCal next semester.
I dont know why she has good reviews. She was awful to me. She told me to drop her class within the second week because I asked her to question something a little more. I dont recommend her if you are not strong in math. SHE IS AWFUL.
she don't tell a student to drop, she encourage you to go to her office for extra help..I don't know who the previous person talk about, but can't be the mrs.
She's an amazing teacher! She gives you so many extra credit opportunities. She's funny, charismatic and a great person. You do not need to buy the CDs. She's fair at grading. If you are good or OK at math, then you won't have trouble passing. She helps you out before class and in her office.
In this class u will need to really understand the work fully to pass. I was not super at math and I ended with a B, but I did have to put alot of time into this class. If you are not good at math then take one math class per semeser and other electives not core classes. I felt like she moved too fast, and that there was too much work per test.
Fry is a great & effective teacher. I'm not too strong when it comes to math but she's very helpful & gives so much extra credit opportunities. My B was earned through studying and just asking for clarification. Don't register if you are not self-disciplined to do training with the online book!
Mrs. Fry is one the of the best, if not the best math professors at Broward! I took her for PreCal, earned an A & Trig, earned a 86% without much effort at all. Also, the examples she uses in class are really all you need to get an A on the tests. I did not buy mathXL, I looked over the notes from class and studied the boarding passes for exams.
Professor Fry is an amazing teacher. I was never one or math, however, she makes math fun and easy to understand. She allows her students to earn extra credit on many occasions. She is understanding and considerate. Ask for help and she will help you. GREAT PROFESSOR!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic teacher. Her explanations are spot on and stays true to the material that is being taught. I highly recommend her.
Fantastic teacher, her class is organized to a pattern where it makes it perdictable tests and best part, no book, a $24 CD as a textbook. Material is not an overall easy theme, but if you study just enough, it's a easy grade. I recomend her to anyone hands down.
Mrs. Fry was so helpful! Each exam in class is directly based of the assigned homework and you get 5 extra credit points for reviewing your exam with her after class (for each exam!). The coursework was a little difficult at times, I had to study hard, but if I had questions, Mrs. Fry would work them out in class or in private. She's awesome!!
If not for her i would have never passed this class! Gives one-on-one time. Really wants students to learn. Lots of extra credit too!
Ms.Fry cares about how much you learn, not about the grade on your test. She gives lots of forgiveness opportunities for those questions that you might have just made that silly mistake. She doesn't look for a correct answer, instead she looks for the correct method. She's funny, and enthusiastic - definitely the best math teacher in the school.
Mrs. Fry has been a great teacher from my early days of pre-algebra through pre-calculus. She cares about each student and makes herself available for every student. She wants each student to pass successfully. I would definitely recommend her and take her for another class.
excelent
The class was awesome. Fry really does a great job at explaining and easy notes for you to write down. She is also well organized and gives you a chance for a better grade on a test whether you pass it or not. Also, gives extra credit and is super helpful if you don't understand something. I haven't had a Math professor like this one in a while!
She is very good. The class is very easy the only thing is that I haven't taken algebra in two years so I had to refresh on the graphs and stuff but I got an A. theres 5 tests and 5 quizzes ("boarding passes"). All of the boardining passes are take home ans the last test is a take home test. The only thing is she confused me a couple of times.
Honestly. One of the greatest math professors out there. Super nice. Super understanding. She is always willing to make time for her students. Give so many extra credit opportunites. Take her. You will not regret it.
Great Teacher!!! I would definitely recommend her. Very helpful and teaches everything clearly. She is very nice :)
AWFUL! She moves to fast and does not explain well enough so if you're stuck, you're screwed. Also, your final replaces you lowest grade no matter what..meaning if your lowest grade is a 90 and you get a 50 on the final you lose the 90 and your lowest grade is a 50. Even if you have an A all semester you still might end up with a C or D in the end.
VERY FAST, TESTS ARE HARD AND THE REVIEWS ARE POINTLESS, UR FINAL WILL DEFENITLY BRING A WHOLE GRADE DOWN. NEVER HAD A BAD GRADE UNTIL I TOOK HER AND PASS WITH A 79 (C) VERY UPSETTING.
She was a great teacher! I'm really NOT a math person and when I did my homework, studied and practice, I pass(C). She give a lot of examples, you can ask questions and she gave a lot of extra credit !I want take her for College Algebra !t
You have to study a lot and practice which she comes out and tells us all the time. Gives a lot of in class time for us to work problems and repeat that same thing for hw and studying and you do good
Prof. Fry is the best math teacher at BC hands down!She gives a boarding pass & group review before every test. No h.w.,besides boarding passes that must be turned the day of a test.Gives unlimited extra credit opportunities,which she sends to your email.I got an A by actually studying before every test,asking a lot of questions &going 2 e.c. stuff
We do so many in class exercises that there is no excuse to not getting it! Take this class, explains well and I actually liked doing math hw since I understood what I was doing.
Great teacher! She uses an online program along with her lecture and you use the same thing for homework. So there's never a problem in your homework that you haven't seen in class. Tests and boarding passes are graded extremely fairly. took her for trig and calc and wish I could keep taking her!
Only uses Math XL code. She doesn't come off as nice, but surprisingly she is. Review for tests is a 5 question group assignment. Tests aren't multiple choice. Only take her if you're strong in math, or if you're not shy to ask questions. I recommend going to the math lab if u take her. Retaking the class now with diff prof. and doing much better.
I had her for algebra nearly 15 years ago and recently for precal. She cares and makes time for her students. Just don't mistake her kindness for allowing yourself to slack off as she will see through that. Attend the classes, do the homework and take advantage of the extra credit. You will learn and do well. Great professor, bar none.
Excellent Teacher!!!!! She explains everything and makes sure everyone understands the subject. Offers help when needed. Tests are easy and she gives you a formula sheet. Online homework after each class but isn't graded. Its used to help you master skills. She helps you to love math.
The best math teacher I've had. No HW and she's really cool. Just come to class pay attention and study and you should easiy have a B
terrible at explaining she just does what you can do if you stay home, and that is go over math xl. No need to show up to class just show up for tests and see a tutor to learn. I haven't learned a thing, worst class I have taken in my life and her tests consist of a very small amount of questions which she grades harsh. Get one wrong and you'redone
ignore previous post, obviously a student with a bad grade who never came to class. She explains everything and even gives the "why" behind all the math.
She is a good teacher. If you show your work on the test as she teaches it you will be able to get some credit for your answer. You must fill in the blanks. She sees her students in hours after class. She does move fast, but she has an excellent way of teaching. There is usually enough time to take notes before the class ends.
If you're looking for an A as a grade this is the teacher to choose. Professor Fry is great because there is no graded homework, but to succeed it is important to practice on your own and be punctual in class
Amazing Professor! Explains well. gives partial credit on the tests as long as you show your work. Tons of extra credit. I would highly recommend. Just do your studying at home on what she goes over in class. Questions are always welcome. Her grading is fair and she cares about her students. Just do your part and study a bit.
I always did the homework which are the same problems we do in class and I found her tests to be the problems from there. She doesn't check homework so your grade is tests but the group work adds up to five points per test . She will not give you credit for work that makes no sense even if you had the right answer.
If you go to class and study the techniques online you will pass the class! Fry gives lots of extra credit opportunity and always asks if you have questions on your homework. The more time you put into studying and practicing the better you will do. The hardest part of class was the final so make sure to study ahead of time
BEST precal professor ever!!! literally speaking, attend class, PAY full attention and do homeword on Math XL every night and you will pass!! She gives out plenty of extra credit. 5 test and a final. She will help you if you need it. trust me! took her for winter and never would of thought I would get a high grade in a precal class. LOVED HER
Professor Fry is one of the best math teacher I've ever had. She makes learning math fun, and I have learned a lot from her class. She will teach you the way to do math with out remembering All those formulas. She also prepared me really well for calculus II. Practicing is the heart of all studying, so do your homework.
The Professor is great and funny. She goes thru the problems that will be in the homework and she explains the trick of how to solve it at home. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and partial credit if your process is mathematically sound. At Calculus level you have to do your homework ... if not you will fail ... so do the homework
Alright, I loved this class. Her test are difficult unless you STUDY and DO HOMEWORK. She gives lots of opportunities for extra credit; so don't be LAZY! You can get points in class for corrections (just keep yourself actively engaged.) She is very helpful, so don't be scared to ask! No notes, just practicing homework. She gets an A+ in my book ;)
Professor Fry is one of the teachers that make math pleasant. I failed my previous Calculus course and was able to not only attain an A, but enjoy my time in her course. I highly recommend you take her, from her teaching style to her extra credit she is an amazing professor!
Professor Fry is one of the most dedicated professors i have met. This course is not easy but she does a wonderful job at presenting the theory in a way where you can understand.She gives extra points and the final is multiple choice.She is very friendly and she does everything in her power to help you understand and pass the course.Keep it up fry!
WORSE MATH TEACHER EVER!!!Don't listen to these people stay away from her. She doesn't know how to teach,the whole class is just her doing problems off of mathxl. The class is based on tests only. NO extra credit.No homework.Its crazy I'm paying to teach myself
bad math teacher, no purpose of going to class,taught myself
Horrible!! stay away! no point in coming to class. Taught myself everything!! Will not help after class either!!
Do not take this professor unless you want to teach yourself. She randomly goes over lessons from calc1-2. The lessons she does try to teach are just her going over the questions in mathxl. The class is solely based on Tests. She even gave a test the class before the final.
This lady is completely horrible. First of all she always comes 15 minutes late to our class and when she comes in she doesn't say anything. She robbed us of 5 hours or more of time she should use to teach. Then when she comes to class she rushes the lecture. Test are hard, grading is stupid. If you are not good in math don't waste your time
I came into this class loving math, and excited to experience a new form of math! Well I was wrong! First of all, she is always late to class. Always!! Then she goes throw the subject very quickly. I spent most of this semester on my own studying. Your grade purely depends on her test and "boarding passes" she gives out. DO NOT TAKE
This Professor is very busy with her other classes, she seems as if she doesn't have time for her Mac1105 classes. Your grades are only based on tests and boarding passes, if you want some kind of extra credit you have to seek her down to go thru your test. Do well on the test hopefully you pass, this is not an easy class if your not good at math.
STAY AWAY!!! I had to teach my self the material the whole time! Grades are only based on test and her "boarding passes" No extra credit, RUN THE OTHER WAY!
She claims she's won teacher of the year two years in the row. I honestly do not know how she got that title. The woman gives her grade based on test, and her "boarding pass", homework is optional. I did all the homework and ended in a D. Her hair annoys me too.
PROFESSOR FRY IS THE BEST. I passed with a PERFECT score. Trigonometry is super easy to me now and understandable! Obviously the people who are giving her bad ratings never cared to study and failed. Do NOT blame YOUR failure on Professory Fry! She is helpful and gives endless extra credit! Please take her only if you are serious and dedicated!
READ -People gave Ms.FRY bad reviews. She's a VERY GOOD teacher, and yes, she goes over MathXL problems on the board, but what's the difference as opposed to her writing down a problem?..She still goes over every step! and she gives LOTS of extra credit,every exam has 10 extra credit points!People just don't study. VERY helpful in office hours too.
Okay, reading the other comments. I'm just saying, if you do not have a good math past do not take her. If you do have a good past with math, take her... Keep in mind, she does not give any homework. Homework is a do it yourself if you want to study.. So with that, your grade will depend on your test and her boarding pass.
Fry is a excellent teacher despite what the older ratings say, but DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU WANT A EASY "A". Fry gives a lot of extra credit:5pts by going to office to check mistakes&up to 5pts with her team based review games. So thats a LETTER GRADE higher. My last in class test was open notes. Study for final with boarding pass and corrected test.
OKAY! So miss Fry isn't a bad teacher for people who don't need the extra help. However; for people who have trouble or does not like math i highly recommend you NOT taking her. She goes extremely fast, as in while you're still writing she's already on the other prob. No homework, 6-7 tests, "partial credit", 10 problems no multiple answers.
Prof. Fry was great at explaining things. Math was never my strongest subject but I think Prof Fry made this class simple. There's only 7 tests, 1 of which is open notes and another which is made up off take home quizzes. Take Prof Fry!
Endless extra credit! IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL.
She is a very nice teacher and helps you out a lot with extra credit and any questions that you may have but she goes extremely fast when taking notes and when your writing she is already on a new problem. she doesn't give HW and the test aren't long. study at home and pay attention in class. I like her but i wish i would of chose another teacher
she is a very nice teacher and very helpful but she teaches extremely fast, she had me lost the entire semester and I take notes pay attention and never miss class. ppl would complain about how fast she teaches, u could be copying a prob and then she will be on the other side of the class doing another. very nice but hard wouldnt take her again !!!
Worst teacher!!! She does not care and will not help a student who needs help. She takes off points for not showing your work correctly!! DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!
Horrible teacher!!!! Goes WAY too fast, ignores questions and concerns, assumes you cheat during every test, does not clarify answers, rude, does not care if students pass or not. DO NOT TAKE HER!
I took Fry for 3 classes. She does NOT teach fast! Examples of everything so there is a lot to cover. You must keep up with your homework and the tests are not multiple choice so you must know what you are doing. If you come to class and do the problems AND PRACTICE at home, you'll be fine. And don't try cheating, she knows what's going on!!
Professor Fry is an extremely helpful and caring teacher. She gives 10 points extra credit for just coming back to make corrections after tests. You determine what grade you want by the effort you put in. I came back to school after 6 years absence and Professor Fry helped me after every class understand. Great teacher, would definitely take again.
she's an awesome teacher,who teaches with simplicity. She cares about the success of each student;she does not check homework but she recommends that we practice every problem she goes over in class.I would recommend her for anyone but make sure you are ready to learn and practice what you've learned.
Professor Fry is one of a kind. She explains everything in detail and gives you a very strong base in math. She doesn't force you to memorize formulas without knowing the background, instead she derives them and shows how they make sense. Took all my math classes with her and would recommend her to everyone. She's always there to help if needed.
I took Miss Fry for intermediate up to calculus. She was always there to help if you did not understand. she is truly one of the best professors I ever had. She explains everything so well. If you are a dedicated student and are there to truly learn then Miss Fry is the right professor for you.
She's very fair when it comes to class work and tests. While no multiple choice may initially seem to be a negative, it ends up helping out in the end due to partial credit. I highly recommend her for tough Math courses.
So glad I took Fry for College Algebra. I was very prepared for precalculus. I took that in summer with another instructor and luckily my algebra skills were good. Thanks Fry.
Amazing teacher! Goes out of her way to help students, even on her own time. Once you show interest no matter where you are she meets you at your level. BC should nominate her teacher of the year. Also very funny and caring. TAKE HER!
Proffesor Fry is one of my favorite in the college I took every math course up to Calculus with her...I will recommend her 100%
She is an awesome professor. I highly recommend her. She is very clear and wants you to understand the work. She welcomes questions and is always very helpful. Absolutely loved her class. I took her for two semesters.
Mrs. Fry is an awesome teacher. She takes her time to make sure that all the students understand the material. She is willing to do extra if you ask for help.
My worst teacher so far at BC. She does not cater to all her students, she runs ahead of herself most time in lectures, confuses herself and confuses us students as well. She wants your problems exactly like hers, if you don't you're wrong 0!! She is trying to develop her own method in Math which makes no sense and such you cant get external help
Although Professor Fry's class isn't the easiest one out there, I liked the fact that she was always there to help me out when I needed her help. If you are willing to learn instead of getting an easy A, this is the right class to take. She'll always answer your questions, and you have to work hard for your grade. It is worth it though!!
Professor Fry, is the best math teacher I have ever had. I have lived in three different countries, and I have to admit that I had never enjoyed any of the math classes that I had previously taken in these countries. But, when I got to Mrs. Fry class I understood the propuse of studying math, which made me less relucant to take math classes.

Professor Fry is a greeat teacher. shes explains in class every single one of the exercises that she gives in tests. She is always willing to answer questions. Also, she givesn a lor of extra credit. i would definitely take her again.
Professor Fry is the best math professor at BC. She gives tons of extra credit, at least 10 points per test. She doesn't grade homework, and the only grade you receive is for boarding passes and tests. She makes math easy. She's very good explaining, and she also stays after class if you need any help. I would definitely take another class with her
Prof. Fry was a great instructor. Not only did she teach independent of the textbook, she taught the concept of each problem as well as how to complete it. Her grading criteria was straightforward & did not include homework. She was also easy to contact when help was needed. I would definitely take her again!
Class was enjoyable, liked her teaching style, if something was not understood she doesn't hesitate to provide more examples to work through as a class.
If you attend class and do your homework you will be fine. She is available for help and will tell you what needs to be done to pass.
I would highly advise all students considering to take this professor for any math above 1105 to reconsider. She does not teach with formulas because shes created her "own method" which is unethical. She will take points off for anything, for example. You write an equivalent decimal but she wants a frac. 5 points off. Please do not waste your time
Professor Fry is AWESOME! She makes everything very easy to understand and tries to make sure that the class as a whole succeeds; she really cares about each student. She gives lots of extra credit, so, if you attend class you will learn and you will pass.
I love Math.. When I know what I'm doing. Prof. Fry was amazing loved her class, If you wanna pass gotta practice and do the HW! Gotta come to class if you really wanna learn plus she is far from boring. Don't even need the book
Professor Fry is my favorite math teacher! I was a dual-enrolled student taking Calc2 w/ her. I got a B my 1st exam, and then a D the 2nd. That was my wake-up call to put more effort into the class and start going to her office hours. If you show you care, she cares all the more! I got over 100 on every test after that (up to 10 pt extra credit) :)
BEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER
Worst math professor @ BC not clear of her syllabus, her tests are not multiple choice except final, she's a tough grader and she rushes fast through her lectures and expect u to understand it.... never take her again
Doesn't know how to explain.
Professor Fry... Goes over one MAYBE two problems for each subsection and expects you to understand it, moves WAYY too fast. She takes shortcuts too fast. She says "alright im gonna give you guys one to do on your own" writes the question down and does it as fast as she can and doesnt let u finish and reviews it. I 3 math but her method is awful.
Professor Fry, probably the hardest class I've ever been in. No grades other than tests which are only 10 questions. Explains every new section within 5 minutes. Rushes through an entire problem in her head without saying one word, simply writes the answer. When going over the test, not helpful at all. Very dry and harsh. Do NOT recommend
Not approachable, Rushes through material, Expects you to know everything, Does not uses book and solves problems her own way, Does not gives you enough time to take notes or process material, Last 3 exams took then a week apart. Felt very frustrated every class.
Mrs. Fry is an amazing professor, had her for College Algebra and Trig and she teaches very well and makes material clear. Be there each class, take notes, do online practice problems and her boarding passes and you should be fine. Again she is a great professor and gives a lot of extra credit so there is no excuse to fail the class.
Worst teacher ever, I am an amazing student and this teacher was terrible, she was mean and unfair
Homework is not for a grade. But if you don't do it, you probably won't pass. She has about 5-6 tests. You can't skip the final. She responds relatively quickly to emails. No textbook
The subject was not so bad to study, you definitely need alot of free time!
This teacher is BY FAR the worst teacher I have ever had to experience in my life!! I am a straight A student and couldn't pass this class. She does not teach! She just puts a problem on the board, answers it, and turns around to ask if you understand! Do NOT take her! You better be a mathematician if you end up taking her cause if not you'll fail!
By far the best math professor I've had at Broward College. She teaches her class in the simplest way so you can understand. The test can be a little challenging but if you study, take good notes, and ask questions, you should pass. There is no homework but do yourself a favor a practice the problems from class. I highly recommend this professor.
While this wasn't the easiest class, she provided several extra credit opportunities and offered help if needed. Would take again!
SHE IS THE WORST TEACHER EVER! DO NOT TAKE! YOU WILL REGRET IT! IF SHE IS THE LAST TEACHER OPEN JUST WAIT TILL NEXT SEMESTER! SHE IS A WASTE OF MONEYYYYYYY!
This teacher expects students to do their part in studying and staying on task. She always asks if everyone is ok and will explain a problem many times if needed. If you want an easy A, go somewhere else. Only take this class if you want to be prepared for future math classes.
Signed up for the next class 1140 and hope I can take all my classes with her
This professor is really awesome! I dont understand the bad comments, the tests are fair and similar to homework questions. you will pass as long as you do the boarding passes and homework. She offeres lots of extra credit and she makes herself available if you need one-on-one time in her office hours. Shes not strict and extremely fair.
I love this teacher. She was hard to get at the beginning but as I progress in this course I was able to keep up with her without difficulties. You really have to study for any math class, if you don't do your HW you wont be successful in math courses. Math is about proficiency. My favorite part was the group games. I will be taking her again.
Professor Fry was an amazing professor. She made sure the class understood the material before moving on to a new lesson. Calculus 2 is obviously not one of the easiest classes, but she made the class completely manageable and she was very helpful. As long as you attend class and do the homework, seek any extra help from her, you will pass!
Trig and calc are hard, and most other professors at Broward don't give extracredit. Prof Fry gives extra credit before test and some extra credit questions on the test, it is life-saver to get good grade. The questions on the test are clear, and are the same us what you will do in class just different numbers. Taking her for 3rd time.
Being the first class taken in college as a dual enrollment student, I couldn't have asked for a better professor! She sincerely cares about students, encourages to learn/come to office for help. Many opportunities to show hard work for mastery and earn extra credit. Clear grading sys: 5-6 exams, boarding passes, final exam. Worth the hard work.
After MAC 2311 taken (Fall, 2015), I signed up for her class again. Tough material & work. Go during office hours, she always helps. HW: do study, ask if you don't understand, and she helps. Ten Qs on exams: show all you know, she gives partial credit. Then, visit, review what's missed, and get credit for your effort. She wants you to learn!
Run ... She goes sooooo fast .. I love math and struggled.. She is brilliant however.. You would have to KNOW YOUR MATH before taking her..
she is an amazing professor. 40% homework and 60% tests. there are about 5 exams and a final. she does, however, take 1/2 points of a question if skip a step or just a simple mistake. those 1/2 points add up and hurt your test grade so BECAREFUL while you're answering her tests. Take her class if you're an organized student. She is brilliant!
Professor Fry is a fantastic math instructor. I took her for MAC1140, I'm currently taking her for MAC1114, and I plan on taking her for MAC2311 and MAC2312. She's funny, and has adorable ways to help one remember certain criteria. The tests aren't scheduled so it's important to attend class. She's really sweet and will provide extra help if needed
She rushed things and did no t contact us about tests and homework. Expected us all to know every single date (Which were a ton of due dates) and then expected us to know the material really well after one day and expected us to be able to study 2 chapters at once. She really just let my class fail without helping us too much and little contact
I selected this professor trusting the reviews I read here; however, she made some really bad changes. Definitely not what I expected. She now gives long tests and counts HW as part of your grade. I am usually an A & B student, but I found myself getting really low grades in this class. Lowest grade I've received in my entire college experience.
This professor really cares about her students and wants them to actually learn. This class is not an easy A but is an easy pass. I suggest you only take her if you want to learn in-depth math and to prepare yourself for higher levels of math. Overall great professor! All exams are written and you must show all your steps for credit. Final is MC.
She was a great teacher, probably the best math teacher I have had in a while. For me the material was pretty simple but, it resulted very challenging for many students. Either way, if your committed she will help you understand the material. Ps. There are 6 test each worth 10 percent and homework is worth 40 percent.
BEWARE!!! DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!! I'M SAVING YOUR LIFE!!! she speeds through all her lectures sends you home and expect you to be ready for the test after. you are not aloud to use notes so unless you have photograpic memory then i would NEVER take this class. She is so bad people just stop showing up.
With professor Jodie you should put all your focus on her while lecturing because if you blinked for only a second, you are done. Your grades are based on the tests that you do, and they are NOT multiple choice. she deduct a lot of points if something is missing, so make sure you show all your steps! H.w. don't help your grade, but good to practice
She is a very nice teacher, and if you are good at math then take her. Otherwise don't take her. You'll have to study a lot and never miss a lecture she goes really fast and her test are long response, if you get one step wrong or don't round correctly the answer is wrong. Super hard class would not take with her again I wish I would of dropped.
Professor Frye is a great math teacher. No easy A, you have to work for it. She's accessible outside of class, explains content, and answers questions clearly. I would definitely take her again. You have to study and put in your own effort and work though, Trig can be challenging.
Jodie Fry is a good teacher and she teaches well, however her tests are extremely hard. She takes the hardest problems from our homework and puts them on the test. My class just got our first test grades back and from what I saw everyone got a 50 or lower. Therefore, if you are thinking about taking one of her classes get ready to study.
Professor Fry is a very smart lady, she knows what she is teaching and she makes sure that you understand her lectures, she gives 35% for homework and 6 test, the lowest grade she drops, there is not study guide but she uses math lab which has lots of practice, if you want to learn math and are willing to work, take her!
Shes a good teacher but her class stressed me out. I'm generally really good in math but in this class I had a lot of trouble, and was worried about failing I the class. To get an A in this class is nearly impossiable because the amount of effort you have to put into studying for her tests is a lot! With my other classes going on, I was stressed.
If you're good in math take her she's the kind of teacher you've been looking for. However, if you need time you have to put in extra work. You use MathXL and get the 1 year fee. If you want an easy A this is not the class. She's a really good teacher but you have to be a good student. Her tests are exactly the same as what she teaches.
Explains material by going through all of the Homework questions. Study for the tests by using questions from the homework.
I've taken her for MAC1105 and MAC1114 and signed up for her MAC1140 class. Trig is already hard enough as it is, but Professor Fry makes it as easy as she can. Her lectures provide a great deal of info so skipping class would be a bad idea. i'm hoping I can take her for MAC2311 and MAC2312. She's just that great of a teacher.
Jodie is a really good teacher. Just do the homework.... Test questions are the questions from hw just diff numbers. Its easy to get an A, and there is a test drop. Very nice too.
Professor Fry is an excellent professor, knows math as the palm of her hand,she always respond by e-mail very quickly
Prof. Fry is a sweetheart! She's very caring and does go through all the steps you need to solve problems. She does the homework with us in class. Her tests are free response, but they're homework questions. She also gives partial credit for all questions, so even if you get it wrong, it's okay. Her accent is adorable (New York!). Loved her class.
PROFESSOR FRY IS AN AWESOME TEACHER. SHE MAKES MATH SUCH AN EASY SUBJECT TO LEARN, AND SHE HAS HER OWN QUIRKY WAYS OF GETTING YOU TO REMEMBER TOPICS. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED HER CLASS.
I've taken Professor Fry for both Trig and Pre-Cal and she is WONDERFUL!!! I would highly recommend her to anybody needing any math higher than MAC1105 at Weston Center and/or South Campus. She makes her classes as easy as she can & will go to the ends of the Earth to help if you show her you care. I will certainly be taking her again for Calc 1
The class is straight to the point, if do the homework it's clear what will be on the test. As long as you keep the tests you'll know exactly what will be on the final. she uses the same question from the previous tests for the final.
love this professor! She's awesome and straight to the point. Class basically consists of lecture that goes over the problems that homework will consist of. She is very organized and speaks clearly so there was never any confusion. She uses analogies to help remember certain topics. Students who say otherwise just didn't put the effort to pass.
she goes way to fast, does not give you a study guide before the test, and starts the lecture for the next test before you have even taken the closest one.
She is a good professor, she knows her material. But we literally went through the homework the entire semester and those were the classes. That's it. I would like her to teach different scenarios of the problems we we're struggling with. If you usually struggle with math I wouldn't recommend her to you.
We lost 10 hours of instruction time for Fall semester & this class needs a lot of attention so be wary of when taking this course. Study a lot! She answers emails & has office hours. Sometimes she went a bit fast, but if you just write down the notes & ask for an explanation after class she'll tell you slowly. Homework has most weight
For math and non-math majors Professor Fry will probably be one of the best professors you will have during your college career. She guides every question step by step and makes sure we do not leave her class until we fully understand the concepts. Calculus 2 is a difficult class within itself but she will make sure you make it through.
Professor Fry is someone who teaches straight forward. If you are someone who learns from deriving and understanding the formula that way, then I wouldn't suggest taking her. If you correct her in class she won't hold against you or anything, and instead reward you with points on the test. Take notes, do the hw, and the test should be easy.
Professor Fry is someone who teaches straight forward. If you correct her in class she won't hold against you or anything, unlike most teachers, instead what she does is reward you with points on the test. Take notes, do the hw, ask questions if you need to, and the test should be easy. The tests have extra credit, so that can help bump up grade.
Are we even talking about the same professor? don't take her if you are not good at math. She has no mercy, pretty much everyone in my class either failed or dropped
She is an amazing professor. Her exams are not multiple choice but does give partial credit for work. Her exams are super easy if you take the time to review your notes and the homework assigned online. Her lectures are the homework problems !! I was horrible at math and always barely passed classes. I would take her again for another math course.
Every class is a must. Notes and your homework are your guides. I feel like her pace is great for me, some say she is a little to fast. If you pay attention and take great notes and STUDY, you'll be fine. I am the type of learner that has to watch the problem being solved. She worked through it and gave step by step, for each type of problem.
Great professor overall. She understands that students wont pick up the material right away so she makes sure all questions are addressed well. Thorough instruction, its best to attend every class . I personally think Prof Frys pace for covering material is fine. Make sure to refresh yourself on trig and pre cal or ask if somethings confusing
Not a good professor. Fast pace teacher who knew she was fast paced but didnt show any mercy. No multiple choice tests and theyre pretty difficult. You isnt very organized at times and if you arent good at math, dont take her.
She was late class, nearly everyday. Very fast paced, due to this she even made multiple mistakes that had to be corrected by students. There were around 10 students left in the class once finals came around. She knew her class average was horrendous and decided not to change anything.
Professor Fry has had the most staright forward grading scheme I have encountered. You have homeowrk, and then tests. She does drop the lowest test grade, and gives a chance for extra credit on the final. Math isn't easy for a lot of people, and she allows you to shedule time with her outide of class if needed. Do the homework and you'll be okay.
We know calculus is not easy, but she was pretty good in teaching it, she was clear in the topics and made a lot of real life situations so that we could understand, I would give her 100% as a teacher! Also loootsss of extra credit so take advantage of that!
Professor Fry was very helpful and taught the course well. She always responded through email if I had a question about homework. I felt as if I learned a lot while in her class.
This class requires taking very good notes! Prof Fry does not necessarily stress attendance but if you miss a class, you also miss out on a lot of useful information which will be needed on homework assignments. She is very nice and will answer any questions you have and she will often give funny examples to encourage students memorizing skills.
If you are not good at math, do NOT take her. She teaches based off her HW with 4 tests. Her exams are DIFFICULT with NO multiple choice. She takes points off for EVERYTHING. She is always late to class and has an attitude over everything. She'll refer to "rules" that were never brought up. Also, she does NOT curve grades. She doesn't care to me.
Fry's MAC2311 and MAC2312 are the first math classes I took in America. She explained every single question of the assignment in class, and it felt easy to understand even though English is not my native language. All you have to do; attend class( or watching video lecture), take notes, do assignment, ask question. Easy A.
Wow literally the WORST professor I have met in my entire life. Wish I was exaggerating. She makes it very clear telling students that "it's not up to me to care about your grade." and offers no help to learn. Actual amazement how terrible and rude of a professor she is. Anyways, if you decide to take her anyways I really really wish U the best!
Anyways everyone on here lying fr fr. Don't even read any more reviews, deadass no way they were talking about this professor. She is THe worst ever.I have never written one before or felt so strongly about how terrible a person is lmao but wow. Not even the class but the professor just wow Class itself: 7test honorlock and work MUST be shown or 0
Honestly , this has to be one of my worst professors. She teaches alright but is not understanding to technical difficulties at all. During tests, you have to show all work or no credit. She dosen't care to help you through difficulties and is just totally rude when you ask for help. I would not take her again. Find a different professor.
I took this class online and it was relatively easy. She teaches straight from the homework assignments and also records each lesson so I could go back and rewatch something if I missed it. She tends to go quickly but will go over it again if you ask a question/stay after class with you to solve something. Do the work and you'll pass.
Ive always hated math, but Professor Fry has hands down been the best math professor I ever had. She goes through the homework problems with you and goes step by step. Extremely clear, answers questions and will go over it if you dont understand. If you dont try, then thats on you. But she is the best math professor ever!!
Part 3/3. Also, don't expect her to review the test again before the actual test. She goes straight into the other chapter, which will make you forget what you learned previously for the test coming up. Just watch her recordings instead. Take your time with it. At least with video you can pause. -shrug-
Jodie is nice right until the final refund withdrawal date. Read all the negative reviews below because they are so accurate to the T. The student count in live classroom sessions will slowly start to decrease, and her lectures are recorded. She's a bit sassy and kind of rude.. o_o had a C overall in class but took the final with a B and got that.
This is one of the worst professors I ever had. She barely gives her students time to complete a problem. She has a horrible attitude I do not recommend her.
The Most ruthless professor I've had. Zero compassion towards student simply does not care at all about the current circumstances of remote Learning. Has an attitude when asking question. The exams are extremely hard especially for a deep subject as Cal 2. The hw is also very challenging g and time consuming. I do not recommend at all.
Jodie is caring, empathetic and very funny. She should tell students about the one legged chickens 😂 I never would've passed the course without her, very grateful.
