She gives way to much homework and shes extremly boring!.
DONT TAKE HER!! very boring, expects you to already know whats going on, makes stupid remarks and jokes which are not funny. There was 25 people in the class everyone dropped the class except for 12 people me included. I failed the class but took the cpt and passed so i dont have to take that course anymore. I repeat DONT TAKE HER!
very tough class and she doesn't like it when you ask questions. does expect you to know a lot, especially for a prep class. I did ok because I spent a lot of time in the math lab.
Prof. Garcia is very nice. Yes she tells cheesy jokes, but so what. This class is easy as long as you keep up with the homework. She covers the processes in the next class. She will explain things a few times. PAY ATTENTION! after that she will tell you to go to the Math Lab. If you do the work you will understand everything.
She is awesome

best mathematics professor i have ever had. 3 simple things to pass this class, 1. show up to every class 2. do ALL your hw early and make sure you understand it. 3. go to the mathlab or get a tutor even if you understand the concepts. you prob need it since your in mat0020 anyway. most do. be responsible and do these 3 things you will pass easily.
I took both Mat 0012 and 0020 with Professor Garcia and have to say she is a caring teacher. Math has always been difficult for me but with hard work, doing all assigned h.w. and lab wk. along with going to the math lab she will do her best to help you pass her class. She is a gem.
Professor Garcia is a wonderful, caring educator who cares for her students. She will do all that is possible to help her students pass her class. One of a kind person who truely loves what she does, TEACH! Study, do your work, go to the lab and chances of passing is great.
MAT0020... She is great. I recommend her! She cares about her students. She will do everything in her power to help you pass the class. She is pretty goofy. Very interesting sense of humor. As long as you're willing to do the work, this class will be easy.
She is wonderful! If you are lazy, don't take her class because she will give you a lot assignments (practice is essential in algebra). In conclusion, I think she is a very good professor, she gives many opportunities to bring your homework, she will help you as much as she can.
Amazing professor!! She is very pacient (quality great for a math professor) and she makes sure that you understand all the material. She is the best professor I've ever had.
very nice...cares about every ones grade..gives extra credit with every homework assignment.. explains til everyone gets it
Very helpful, and easy going. Gives students many oportunities to pass her class. If you fail this class, you simply didn't put the work in. I recommed her class to anyone who wants to learn and succeed. Good luck!
I wouldnt take her again..Nothing against her person, but her class is very boring and she often makes jokes dat arent funny.At the end of the semester she showed her good side, but even stiil, I wouldnt take her.A lot of ppl failed the course(u cant jst blame it on the teacher) but bcause she doenst explaind the context as much as she should
The best professor ever! She makes you love math. You have to do the homework, otherwise, you will not pass. So don't be lazy. She is extremely helpful, she loves teach and is very patient. She is the perfect math professor.
THE BEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER!
She is awesome! My favorite professor! I took mat0012 and mat0020 with her, and i don not regret it at all. She is very helpful, she really cares about her students. Now I love math just because of her! she makes everything so easy to understand!! 100 points to her! :-)
Great professor!!! Sweet and very caring.. I would definitely recommend her.
Great Professor!! I definitely recommend her.
She started out as a nice, helpful professor but a the year progressed she almost became careless. Didn't help at all.Couldnt pass the class and had to drop the class. Taking it now with another professor and passing with an A
You would be a fool not to take her as a teacher. She gives 5 test and 5 quizzes. She gives homework, lab work, and extra credit all worth 5 points each which can help your grade out. I could go on all day about how great she is, but I would def. take her!
Not the best professor. Her notes dont make sense and she spends too much time talking off topic. She runs out of time and takes the last 2 minutes of class to jam in an entire section and expects us to understand it. Most of the class is failing. I would not recommend her.
I absolutely love her teaching style! She is very caring and helpful and is very much devoted to helping her students progress in learning math. If you struggle with math, she is the best person to take if you want to truly do well. She is very clear and detailed with teaching the lessons, so it's hard to become lost in her class. Take her!
Does not agree with outside learning unless you are from a different country. I tried teaching her my methods I learned throughout high school and she just did not care. Most of the class period she will lecture you about unimportant information. I recommend you do not take her class, it is not worth the stress.
She knows what she is doing but she isn't that good of a teacher. I am stressing too much because I am failing and she hasn't helped me as much as I wish she could.
She is a great teacher. She does drag on about herself or the material at times. But will go out of her way to help anyone in her class. Her teaching style is firm and rigorous but in a caring way. She will give plenty of work and wont hesitate to reiterate her points. She is not my way or the high way at all. Pays attention to individual needs.
Her class is easy. She gets off topic a lot with her own personal life which gets annoying because, well we want to learn, pass, and get out. She kind of makes fun of the students if you get a bad grade in front of the class and tells the class other students personal things. Not nice. Besides that she is a good professor and helps you pass.
She was very nice at beginning of the semester, but after a while shed call out who failed tests and who did better than who and would try to teach lessons in 2 min because she ran out of time. She acted better than the class and made it seem like shed rather be anywhere but teaching. Had to retake the class with a different processor.
She is always willing to assist you. Gives gives out clear and resourceful handouts that pertain to each chapter. Keeps us organized. I think she's a very interesting professor who has interesting stories to share about herself, which keeps class fun and conversational. A great teacher to seek for any math level!
She's a great professor..Extremely understanding and if you respect her she will gladly give her respect back. She goes really slow in her lessons so everyone can comprehend. I'd recommend her to anyone :)
super organized!!
She's a great teacher, easy to understand, helpful especially the day before an exam, and best of all gives you partial credit which has saved me more than once.
Very helpful. Willing to help students. encouraging an very sweet! One of the BEST proffessors I have had so far in PBSC!
very helpful, organized, and dedicated professor. Gives a lot of homework, but this very good if you want to excel in math. She will spend the whole class teaching with no breaks.
Professor Garcia is a very dedicated Professor. She will put the same level of dedication as you put into the class. She is always there to help. Handouts are given at every class to help you, she is very organized and homework is required. Which in a prep class is very important. If you are dedicated, you will pass.
She was nice enough to come around && give us feedback on the day of the final, so I cannot complain about that!!! ;]
Gets off topic, talks about here personal life and current events more than math. This is a math class not debate or speech class. Has to rush through the lessons becasue she spends most of the class talking about other topics other than math.I passed this class by basiclly teaching myself from the book and going to the tutoring lab.Not recommended
Mrs. Garcia is a great teacher. She takes the time to review and incourage us to do the homework assigned and questions.If you're failing this class it's because your not taking the time to do the homework, being late to class and not asking questions.
She is awesome! Very helpful and will work with you as far as understanding a certain section or chapter goes.. Do your HW and study, and this will be an easy class!
Great prof. awesome with students and knows her stuff, you would be an idiot not to take her class
GREAT PROF
COULDNT ASK FOR a BETTER PROF
If you are looking for a professor that is personal with all of her students and treats them like family - I highly recommend professor Garcia. She is very professional and has a passion for teaching. Very clear lectures. Very structured way of teaching. 5/5
Preofessor Garcia has to be the best math professor I had. Me and her did not see eye to eye at first but after i passed her class I understood that she only pushes her students becasue she want her students to succeed in math. She will stay with you after class and explain any math problems you dont undersatnd. I highly recommend Professor Garcia!
Awesome! super sweet and very helpful. If you don't pass or are having a hard time its your fault. Do hw go to class and you'll pass!
Best math teacher EVER, does everything she possibly can to help you pass. If you don't pass her class, you clearly just did not WANT TO. Great heart, wonderful person all around!!!
She is the best teacher I have had, period. She is great at what she does. As long as you try to learn she will make sure you have to skills to succeed! I would recommend that everyone take her!
She's very reasonable, if you don't show up or don't do the work, you're not going to pass. Just pay attention and show effort. She'll help you along the way. She's very nice as long as you listen and abide by simple rules.
She challenged me. It pushed me to work harder from an "F" after midterms. To an "C" as my final passing grade.
AMAZING Professor! Take her if you can! If you want things explained in a easy to understand way, then she is the one for you. Has endless patience, regardless of how long it takes you to understand the problems. She is a true educator. Getting you to understand how to do math is what she is most concerned with. I wish she taught 1033.
Professor Garcia is the one to take if you struggle with understanding math. She explains everything in easy to understand terms. She gives extra credit just for doing the homework. You cannot ask a stupid question in her class. She treats all questions with respect and importance and will show you several different ways to solve the problems.
She goes off topic . She teaches ways that you can't get the problem correct. Then she'll teach you 3 different ways to to an equation which confuses me cause now I'm using parts of each method and getting no where . She speaks to everyone like we're still in high school. And questions are answered in Sarcastic responses . She's just rude
For students who do not understand math, take Prof. Garcia's class. she is very patient and helpful. If you pay attention and you are willing to learn multiply ways of solving problems so you can find the one that help you understand, then she is the one to take. As you find the format that works, you will be glad you signed up.
Excellent teacher. The real bonus is she will teach you different ways to solve the problem, choose what works for you. Come to class to learn. Do not be afraid to ask this professor questions, she will answer without making you feel dumb. Professor Garcia will stay late to help. If you want to learn Math this is the professor for you.
I wish I could take her for all my classes. If you work hard, she will work hard with you. I was afraid to take math again, failed before, not with her, she is there for you and helpful! Stays late and doesn't rush you. She has tons of notes online you can use! She actually got me to enjoy math. I promise you won't regret choosing her!
She will put in her time to help students. Overall she is a very good teacher with lots of make up and extra credit assignments to help your grade. 8/10
Professor Garcia gives an outline to the class on the very first day. She gives great notes, Read and use them, that's how you will pass this class. She makes class fun. A no nonsense person- So be respectful! Do your homework. Ask questions if you don't understand. Communicate with her. She will stay behind and help you where you need it.
She is a great professor and truly will help the students she knows that are willing to learn and grow. She keeps class entertaining by making jokes here and there. She will help you to pass and will do one on one after class if she has time.
She didn't explain math very well and she was rude to most of the class. The way I passed was my knowledge of algebra before hand and using MyMathLab to help learn.
Professor Garcia is very nice but don't get on her bad side. She will work with you to get the best possible grade. Homework is done on my math lab really easy. She gives a lecture all class and then assigns homework test are very simple just do the homework and you'll be fine. Lots of extra credit really recomend you do it.
She is very committed and involved with the class. She will show up early and stay late. She will promptly answer emails. She will look over your test, and point out mistakes before giving you a final grade. Is definitely "Old School". Make a point to shut your phone off before entering the class, not to talk during the class, the basics.
Great Professor with wonderful techniques to make you understand. Enjoyed the Class. I truly recommend this professor!
Best teacher to take for math! She explains step by step at the perfect pace! Ive always had trouble with math and hated it but she makes it better! She hilarious too!
I took this teacher as my MAT0022 teacher . She was very nice , and patient. She can get roudy and mad when you disrupt class , or dont pay attention. But if you do all the homework on my math lab , and write descent notes you will be sure to pass the tears&quizzes she give. She is a very easy teacher to take just be respectful & pay attention.
My MAT0056 class was only 50 min long. She wastes a lot of class time with "announcements" and then squeezes in a poorly explained 20 min lecture. Soft- spoken, but will loudly demean students who get questions wrong. Zero tact and doesn't seem to care when students don't understand. I passed with a very high grade but I largely taught myself.
She instructs the class at a medium pace and teaches the material clearly. She also provides you with quality handouts and doesnt mind helping students who put forth effort in class. If you respect her she will respect you. As long as you pay attention, ask questions, do the HW, do extra credit, and write good notes you will do well in the class.
Taught at a medium pace but will spend time as needed to review anything not understood. As long as you are respectful and LET HER TEACH, you will learn everything needed. More old school when it comes to grading but all grades are clear as day and retuned back to you quickly. Overall a great class and learned a lot.
she does not teach, she just goes over it as if you already know how to do it. she uses heavy sarcasm that comes off rude, and gets off topic all the time. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND unless you already know everything about math
lots of unnecessary paper work you have to do for homework. Gets off topic Every 20 minutes, she is also very rude and expects you to know how to do everything. She tends to call people out in a very very rude way Would highly not recommend taking.
Gives extra time for tests, stays after if you need too, very kind and cares about her students. She wants the best for her students. Gives lots of helpful and very useful handouts. Takes time going over lessons to make sure that everyone in the class understands the problems and is ready for the tests and quizzes. She gives extra credit on tests.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Great teacher really wants you to understand the material. Always gives excellent feedback on work that really helps you understand the problems. Very respectful and cares about her students. Puts in a lot of extra time in to help her students.
NO NO NO if you dont already know some of the material you will be completely lost and she doesnt care
very rude, she called me out one day because I got an answer wrong and told me "you deserve to fail". You can barley hear her and she expects you to know anything
While her personality may not be for everyone she is a solid teacher. Sometimes gave confusing explanations but as long as you do the homework you will pass. a handful of people dropped the class but everyone left is passing and almost everyone has an A. She offers extra credit and is usually available for help.
Amazing.
She is an amazing professor , when something was not understood she would go an extra mile and more to explain , she will push you until you see the mistakes you making and then explain how to solve the problem but makes you work for it so when explained you know exactly what to do next I will give professor Garcia a ten star if possible
Professor Garcia is a great teacher, do your homework it helps you better understand material and also counts as extra credit! Recommend to be on time and ask questions when you don't understand!!
Professor Garcia is very disrespectful and belittles her students. Every day I walked into that class, I always felt inferior. Despite doing very well and earning an A in her class, each time I left I felt that I was not good enough to be receiving the grades I had. The class was an easy A for me, but I struggled through her direct insults.
She cares about her students. Always asks if anyone has any questions from homework or lessons. Gives clear explanations and always encourages students to do assignments and get extra help if needed. If you do your homework you will do great is tests and pass her class. Great Professor!
The class is fantastic. The exams are well made and portioned appropriately. The instructor is funny, knowledgeable, and willing to help students. The class material was splendid and makes the class enjoyable overall. I would strongly recommend this instructor to any other student. She goes above and beyond to make sure her students understand��
Is not caring for her students .
Difficult to pass this class if math is not your strong suit. Professor has custom grading scale where anything less than a 75 (which is a high c in a standard grading scale) is considered failing. Good luck.
I definitely do not recommend this professor unless you know everything about math and you're capable of teaching yourself. Very strict grader and goes out of her way to belittle the students that don't understand the material. Doesn't like when you ask questions and expects you to know lessons she hasn't even taught yet.
She is the best She explains every chapter
Shes an amazing professor
Hard test.
Super nice lady. Just show up and do her homework and you will pass.
An amazing professor! Great lectures. Do the homework and pay attention and you will do good in the class.
I'm reading some of these comments and I cannot believe these are talking about the same person I know. This Professor is amazing. She helps her students in class. She asks if there are any homework questions. I don't think she could've made the class any easier. I guess you just have to get to know someone for yourself.
There is a lot of homework in this class. But the homework is important because it helps you with learning the material thats going to help you pass the exams. Professor Garcia literature reviews are very informative and she really tries to help everyone pass the class. But you got to to your part.
i did not understand how she teach math. lots of work and the tests are harder then the review no study givien.
