I don't know where she came from, but she obviously hasn't taught before and it clearly shows. She makes many mistakes in the examples that the class fixes, and then assigns homework that don't go with the examples we went over leaving the class lost and confused. Take someone else if you're able to, if not, wait another term!

Ms Nudel is a good teacher! A lot of the students in my class didn't take the course seriously so they failed! If you communicate with her and ask questions you will get an educated answer. She knows what she is talking about! I got a A in the class by participating and asking questions. She really is an amazing!

If you already understand algebra, take this class; otherwise, I wouldn't reccommend it. It's not that she's a bad teacher, it's just that she's terrible at communicating her knowledge. But like I said, if your good at math this class is great because you can only go for the tests and still get an A because she doesn't care and the tests are easy.

I am not a math person what-so-ever so and the only reason why I passed is because of Professor Nudel. I would suggest using the e-book to watch the videos and practice, but make sure you also watch the powerpoint presentations created by professor Nudel, which includes the calculator function. You must purchase the TI-84 (or latest model)!

It was an absolute privilege to take Professor Nudel during the pandemic. I was anxious and nervous about taking college algebra so I saved it for last but she made it a wonderful math experience for me I wish I took it sooner. Out of my 46 credits she was THE ABSOLUTE best professor. If I failed it, Id still retake the class with her.

Let me start off by saying I am HORRIBLE at math. I mean the worst. Yet I still got a A+ in this class. Every email I sent for help, she responded. Sometime even on weekends. She was very motivating also and sent out updates every week. She has YouTube videos if you need them. (Big help on some of the work) and you can always ask for help.

Professor Nudel is one of the most lenient professors I've ever had as well as caring. She assigns her coursework to YOUR pace (by request) and ensures that the material is well understood among her students before moving on. Videos were made to follow along within the homework of mylab, couple of discussions, and a lot of extra credit. GREATCLASS!

This prof was the sweetest! She was always super responsive, pushed back almost every single due date, gave tons of extra credit. Other than the assigned homework on my math lab, there was one or two super easy discussion posts, a few tests and the final.

She includes lecture videos for each chapter, which is supposed to help with the homework. She does a horrible job of going over questions/problems, literally just reads from the slide. I used other youtube videos to teach myself because I did not learn much from just using her resources. Just be ready to teach yourself unless you are good at math.

She was a great Professor! Not a ton of tests and they are 45% of your grade. So, you need to do good on all of them or else your grade tanks. I would take her again.

This professor is nice but when taking online her class is a mess only has a few assignments per week but when trying to learn material for assignments her videos to "help" us do absolutely nothing but slightly go over a topic with a nonsensical explanation it feels like in order to do good in this class it has to be in person cuz you won't learn.

This is the first time I have taken the time to actually write a review on this professor. She was awful. Her lecture videos did not go through examples and were mainly about nomenclature and not about the actual work. I had to learn most of the work from MyStatLab. When I reached out to her for advice she suggested watching YouTube videos.

Took MAC1105 online. No study guides for tests, only final. Some problems on tests were not covered in HW. Some problems in HW lacked a direct example in the notes. Instructions could be confusing. Not simple and straightforward, look elsewhere if that is what you want. Extensions to HW and test dates, nice and caring person. 2/5 in my book.

She cares and is willing to work with you with no questions asked! Her material is a little harder than usual but I just don't like math so, make sure to really go through the HW because the test are hard and are mostly part of of your grade. she uses honorlock as well. She is very easy going if you focus and give 100% to the class.

If you are able to teach yourself calculus from watching a video than you will be fine, the material is not too difficult. I am not the strongest math student so I used the tutors in the math lab as my "class" since it was online class. Proff Nudel gives you two attempts on all exams besides the final but uses honorlock camera. Not a very demanding
