Gunk is great if you're not a math person, her teaching style is very un-math like. If you're very liner you may not appreciate her as much because you do make sort of a math scrapbook (which is actually extra credit) . I had her for 1050 and 1125 . She's very nice and patient. I'm awful at math and I think I got B's in both her classes.

Professor Gunkelman is a nice lady, though I disagree with her teaching style. It was flipped classroom, so you would learn the material at home and then do problems in class. When I would ask for help she wouldn't help me solve the equations, instead she would tell me that I know how to do it, and figure it out. I wouldn't recommend taking her!

Gunk was a nice lady but the teaching wasn't good. She teaches very little and expects our math background to help us throughout this class.

Professor Gunkelman is a pretty good teacher, in my opinion. I don't enjoy math, but she makes it so much more tolerable. There is a lot of homework, but I find it doable, though others may disagree with that statement. Going to class is mandatory if you want to understand the material. I enjoyed her thoroughly, and glad she was my final math prof.

She gives out over 10 assignments each week. Doesn't really offer her students help and treats us like kids

Flipped class where you learn at home and do worksheet problems in class. She will go over the problems on the worksheets but a little difficult to get help when a topic is unclear. Sometimes she just makes a joke and moves on which can be frustrating when you're confused. However, overall she was a good teacher and caring.

Best I've ever done in a math class! Textbook work is the hardest part, but classwork and homework are easy to learn and well explained. Never felt nervous going to taking a test in either of her quantitative reasoning classes. All homework is uploaded first day over D2L and can be completed in advance (serious luxury.) BEST math professor at OCC.

the gunk gunks. She's fine. Decent teacher. She's very kind! Attendance is very mandatory. It's a math class so expect difficulty. She is contactable outside of class. LOTS of homework, but its math, so what can you do. Quizzes every Wednesday, but they are a communal group affair. The tests are difficult, but fair if you studied. Fine proffessor.

I love Gunk, I will miss her. Her class IS FLIPPED, so you are expected to go over the content BEFORE class, during class she gives out worksheets and answers questions. I prefer this over lecture when it comes to math classes, but not everyone does. The ALEKS homework she assigns can be frustrating at times. She also drops a few low scores.

Worst I have ever done in a math class. She expects you to know everything before coming to class. Expects people to memorize full pages of formulas and equations. She can be very snippy and is not open to students asking questions. I felt like an outsider in her class because I was struggling.

This is my last semester. I need this class to graduate she was the only professor at Orchard to teach this class, if I can even call it teaching. She has no time management or respect for her students time. You are teaching yourself & could be teaching yourself completely wrong & you will not even know it. If you CAN avoid taking her then do it.

She can be funny and the class overall was tolerable. For the final exam (which is 20% of your entire grade) She failed me for being late due to my usual exit off of 696 being closed and had to take a detour that made me over a half hour late. Expect to do only math outside of class as she assigns 10+ things a week.

shes a great lady, but not a great teacher. she has a super nice fun personality but the way her class is organized, its not easy to learn, she expects you to teach everything yourself outside of the classroom with multiple assignments a week. i like math and I found this class hard to learn because she barely did any teaching.

Her teaching method just doesn't work for a lot of people. She teaches her college level classes like it's high school. Her tests are complicated and annoying. If you get behind, miss a few classes, you're kinda screwed. She should offer test retakes, study guides, literally anything other than massive amounts of homework.

I've never gotten below an A in any math class EVER. DO NOT TAKE HER! Not only does she not teach at all (this class is flipped and her videos are AWFUL), she's rude when people have questions. She's aware of which students are falling behind but gives all her attention to the ones that excel. Miss more than 2 classes and your grade will PLUMMET.

Definitely have to teach yourself, if you struggle with math I'd advise you to not take this teacher. It's a flipped classroom. Doesn't really help students that are struggling, she just expects you to know what you're doing without guidance prior to.
