Most quizzes are straightforward, but sometimes worded weirdly and confuse you. Doesn't help that they're 2-3 questions (miss one and you're screwed). And the way she grades, you can get high A's on tests and still get a B in the class because of the quizzes (me). Also takes off points for attendance and missing HW's. Wish I chose someone else :

Professor Devoe is awesome! Calculus isn't an easy class and you will have to work for a good grade in this class. Professor Devoe is extremely knowledgeable and explains concepts simply and thoroughly. She's very open to questions and is very helpful. I learned more then I expected to in this class.

She explains concepts very clearly and if you don't understand watch her videos! Do all the homework as it is assigned and you will pass her quizzes. 3 tests, the 3rd test is difficult. Study all the homework and quizzes. Gives a little extra credit. She is also very helpful if you ask for help and responds to emails very quickly. Overall amazing!

She really makes sure you understand what is going on! STOP BEING LAZY. yes she gives homework and grades them for credit, but you get extra credit on tests if you do it all. TAKE HER!

Excellent professor! She explains concepts very well. Class time is split into homework, a short quiz once a week, lecture, and then practicing the new material in our small groups. Stickler for proper notation but that gets you in a good habit. Brings sweets on test days and gives a little bit of extra credit. Definitely would take again!

Made Calc III online doable. Explains step-by-step, makes it really simple to understand. 2 weekly lectures, 5 multiple choice ?'s after each. 3 question quizzes weekly. 3 tests, 1 final. Tests are not hard as long as you understand most of the review, which are textbook problems, like the hw. Up to 12pts extra credit. Replies quickly to emails.

If you do the homework and study the reviews you will get an A. I can't wait to take MAP2302 with her online!

I took Professor Devoe's Calc III online class and I can say this teacher was the best. Her whole course was amazingly structured and organized. She is a very sweet teacher and will answer your emails very quickly. Her tests and grading are very fair and if you do all of your homework and re-work your quizzes, you should do well on the exams.

She is the best teacher I've ever had. Her exams are ridiculously easy if you do your homework and the review problems she provides before Exams. The quizzes are due online every week (also easy). Her video lectures are outstanding and sometimes even funny. It's like you're her only student! I just wish she taught this course and D.E. in person.

I loved taking calc 1 with professor Devoe! It was a lot of material to cover but she made it all seem very doable. She has you work in small groups, and I really liked that. It was a little annoying at times because sometimes a group member wouldn't be pulling their weight or would want you to teach them what they missed last class. TAKE HER CLASS

After a difficult Calc 2 prof, DeVoe was a breath of fresh air. The lecture videos are excellent. The exams are easier than the homework. Quizzes are done at home in your own time. All exams are untimed. The Final is conceptual and difficult but not too bad. You only need basic integration techniques for this class ( U sub, parts, that's it )

Devoe's teaching style is simple, you get into groups, she gives you a worksheet to go over that gives you a very detailed explanation about the function/rules, barely teaches you how to do it and then assigns hw and then the next day you go over the hw.. repeat this up until the test.. You're basically teaching yourself. Tests are hard...

Trig was more difficult than this class. Same setup as her Calc3 class except there are no weekly check points and there is a fun airplane project that has the solutions available online. She still drops the two lowest quiz grades and the final exam grade can replace your lowest exam score. DeVoe could teach DE's to a monkey.

I took professor Devoe for calc 1 during Spring semester and she was amazing, she completely created a new form of lecturing that makes the class fun. You work in groups reading through the material while she explains it as well. She assigns a lot of HW but it all reinforces what you're learning, tests and quizzes accurately reflect what you study

Great class. Attendance isn't mandatory; however, you won't get all of the information you need if you don't show up. Plus, there are extra points for showing up everyday (or only missing one class). We work in groups every day to go over the homework, choose wisely. Doing the homework is extremely important even if it seems like a lot of work.

Compared to how UCF professors teach this class, going through this Calc 3 online class was a breeze. I did all the quizzes, lesson checkpoints, tests, homework (not graded/optional), and passed with flying colors. She is wonderful at explaining math in a simple way and I love her online lectures.

Exams are 80% of the total grade, 20% for quizzes and "lesson checkpoints" (also quizzes). I felt confident until getting a 47% on the final. She told us to look at everything we ever did in the semester to prepare for the final, which is ridiculous to say with no suggested format. The final was set up completely differently than any other test.

Took Jody DeVoe for Spring 2018 Online Differential Equations. The fear of this course almost caused me to change my major because I was not naturally gifted at math. Jody's lectures were completely recorded online which meant you could "go back to class" anytime you wanted. I earned a solid B in DifEQ because Jody made it easy and fun to learn!

Format is similar to a flipped class. Most of what she teaches is word problems, which are hard initially but overall better in the long run. Fair amount of extra credit for each unit. Homework is optional but should be done to better understand material/way she has you do problems. Overall enjoyed it but can see how some may not like it.

I took the short one so homework, quizzes (10), and exams (3), final (1) were intensive. Homework was not required, but if I did not do it, I don't think I would pass everything.
