Really good teacher. Cares about her students and is really cool to them. (Made copies of homework for those who didn't have the book at the beginning of semester). And she's kinda cute too.
FANTASTIC!! SHE WAS MY THIRD ATTEMPT @ MATH 182. THE BEST TEACHER EVER. EVERYTHING MADE SENSE. GAVE LOTS OF TIPS TO HELP REMEMBER FORMULAS. ALLOWED 'CHEAT SHEET' FOR MIDTERM AND FINAL. SHE EVEN HELPED ME W/MATH 183 PROBLEMS AND SHE WASN'T MY TEACHER FOR THAT CLASS.

You see crazy teachers on T.V. and think there is no teacher out there that cares that much about their students. But then you meet Julie and realize that they do exist. Her office hours are limitless(sorry Julie) but it's true. If you want to succeed in math and are willing to work take her class.
All math teachers should go to her class and learn how to teach. She is simply the best teacher i have ever had.
She is the best math teacher I've ever had. I highly recommend taking a class with her if at all possible. She will take the time to re-explain things if you don't get it and is very easy to get in touch with. Take class with her!!
Julie is "THE BEST TEACHER" I've had in college yet - she has a great personality, is very helpful & there when you need her. She goes over previous homework questions before moving on to the next assignment. Note cards allowed on tests, not quizes! Don't get too excited though, she makes you use your brain fully on her TESTS!!! I MISS HER!! PAM
I think it would be hard to find a better teacher. I agree with the person who said all teachers should have to go to her class. She is not easy. Alot of homework and you better go to class. But she will make calculus make sense. I am at UC Berkeley right now and would not be her if not for Julie.
She loves using the demerit system! I got 30 demerit stars....that's the record...she mean.
she's an amazing teacher! if you dont get math then believe me after her you will. I had tutors throughout highschool for math but with her she explains things so easily that it will just click. Math teachers should come and learn a thing or two about how to teach math and keep it fun from her. If you can pick her!
She was my Calc 1 teacher. Will definitely take her for Calc 2. She's the best and easiest math teacher I've had so far. She really understands the students, their problems and needs. She allows us to have note cards on tests, which is very helpful. She also gives practice problems before each test. Great teacher!!!
She is a great teacher!!! She makes Calc seems to be sooooooo easy and fun. You can use note card on test, but I personally do not think it's very helpful becuase her test is kinda hard compared to the homework problems. SHe do make you think fully on the test!!! There are only 10 or 15 homework problems everyday, which is fine for a calc class.
she is the BEST teacher at DVC. she makes calculus sooooooo easy. she is so easy to understand and she is a ton of fun. i am taking calc 2 just because i enjoyed her class so much
I loved her classes soo much that I still think about her to this day. I just graduated from College now (transferred to Davis) and she was still my favorite teacher all throughout College. Her tests are moderately hard but she teaches you so well and is so caring and so fun. I still keep in contact with her and consider her a mentor.
I took calc 1 & 2 with her. She is super nice and very helpful. She always tries her best to get studnets to understand the material. However she isn't very easy. As nice as she is, the material is very hard and her tests are very challenging. If you understand nothing you will still pass but don't expect an easy A
If there's one thing I regret is that she doesn't teach CALC-3....She's probably one of those teachers that give you everything you need to succeed. Practice problems, review sheets, homework reviews in class...you name it! However you still need to work hard because her tests are kind of tough. Overall, she's amaizing!!!
She's cool, nice, easy to understand. You CANNOT find a better teacher than her for ANY math class. Also, very helpful and approachable. I just LOVE her class and it's sort of sad that it's going to end soon!!! She's a cutie so watch out!!! Her tests are moderate to hard, but she grades VERY fairly and as long as you do homework U should b fine!
i took calc i and 2 with julie, she is the BEST math teacher at DVC ever. SHe explains everything so well and clear. Give you review sheet, practice problems before quizzes and tests~~ But tests are kinda hard compared to the quizzes. Overall She is the BEST and very helpful and nice~~
She is the BEST teacher. Her lectures explain the new material thoroughly. She gives an overview of what you're going to learn and then shows an example and lastly has the class do an example. The homework is what you learned that day and is not too hard. There is always review before a quiz. She's really nice!
Best math teacher i've ever had. Take this teacher, she is amazing and very helpful. Her homework is concise and to the point. As long as you pay attention and come to class you'll do great. She's very helpful!

AMAZING!!! Took this class before and got a D took it with her and got an A!!! She is the best, she wants you to succeed, so if you put in the work you will get the outcome you deserve. She is there to help you and knows how to teach math!! She is a teacher who cares! Best of the best and I am even going to take a class over summer with her, becaus
She is absolutely one of the greatest teachers to ever walk the face of the Earth. She explains things very clearly. She is VERY helpful and cares about her students. She does not give too much homework either. The tests are a little bit difficult at times, but if you study hard, you should be fine. When she teaches, she seems like she is a friend.
She is the worlds best teacher, she should be nominated! She makes you learn the material and she's super chill. not like your tyrpical anal math teacher. You will never ever find a better teacher than her. She is so nice and always willing to help. Her teaching skills are awesome!!!
Julie is one of a kind, she should be nominated for the best teacher! She makes you learn the material and she's super chill. not like your typical anal math teacher. You will never ever find a better teacher than her. She is so nice and always willing to help. Her teaching skills are awesome!!!
The best math teacher I have ever had the pleasure to learn from! She is in the math lab constantly and makes herself readily available. You will be disappointed if you don't take her.
Best teacher i have ever had!!! She is very patient and explains every thing in great detail. She does teach down to the struggling students, which is good for those who struggle with math. However, students who excel at math will also love her class because they can tap into her outstanding understanding of mathematics.
Extremely helpfull. She explains material very clearly. Take her class!!! I am glad I did, I am even waitlisting 183 next semester!
Simply the Best...Clear Understanding. Test are tricky at times but if you study, no problem!
Great techer!!

very easy teacher, very helpful and always available,she reviews every thing before exams, and she gives you practice problem for exams. great teacher!!
One of the best math teachers I had. She doesn't teach according to the book. She instead breaks concepts down so that are really easy to understand. HW is VERY reasonable, usually 30-45 min per assignment. 3 quizzes (18%) + 3 exams (50%) + 1 cumulative final (20%) + HW (12%) = your grade. She is always approachable and has a great sense of humor.
she is a one of a kind professor who will teach you how to clearly approach math. She has a great sense of humor and teaches you how to understand the material.
Mrs. Walters is an angel. She changed my life, she always gives every student confidence. I hated math before but after taking her class I love it. She is always available to help and is so understanding, She genuinely cares about her students and needs to teach other professors to be more like her!!!
Super nice teacher. She explains everything clearly and the tests are not too hard; with partial credit, they are totally doable. Just try on the HW and the class is a breeze. Once you start falling behind on the HW, it's just like any other class. Oh and it helps that she teaches MATH-193 so try to take her class back to back.
Walters was such a great teacher. She's very clear and explains each problem so well. If you ask her a question she doesn't make you feel dumb, she'll find other ways to explain! If you're struggling with math, she's the go-to. She makes math seem easy. She's not a stickler about much, really hardly anything. She's easygoing &really nice. Take her!
Homework is minimal and the tests are fairly easy if you do the homework. She also puts up practice problems to study from for tests. She is simply the best teacher I have ever had. Words cannot express how awesome of a teacher she is compared to others. Sometimes I wish she taught a class teaching other professors how to be more like her.
She is the most amazing teacher, math is definitely not my subject I've been in algebra since high school, and have not quite understood the material. She teaches the subject so well, she keeps my interest, and makes sure the class understands what she is teaching, she actually cares unlike most teachers. I recommend her to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
Best math teacher I have ever had, she takes the most complicated problems and makes them easy to understand. Everyone in the class loved her and I took her for every math class possible. You only use the book for the homework problems. She grades the test more on if you got the process right. You also get to use a note card.
Incredible teacher, only thing i'm slightly mad about is it seems all of the GOOD math teachers teach at the San Ramon campus which is in the middle of nowhere. This is a trend that needs to change...
One of the nicest teachers ever. Very clear on her directions, not to much homework and she actually makes math fun and easy! Its easy to get an A just show up and do the work. You will love her she is super funny as well
I wish she teaches all my classes until I get to transfer. This is the best you can get from DVC.
Best teacher at DVC hands down. I've been thru a lot of Math (starting from Intermediate Algebra) at DVC, and she has been the best there is. Brought 193 down a level anyone could understand. Her exams/quizzes were no joke though. Prepare for them by not doing just the practice problems, but by going over your HW problems. Take her, don't miss out.
Julie is AWESOME!! I had her for math 192 and 193 and got As both times. She explains calculus so well. She is very helpful and wants her students to succeed. She is hilarious, and very witty. I absolutely love her! I am actually sad I am done with her class. Her exams are tough, but she gives so much extra time. Take her!!!!
Julie is an amazing teacher who truly cares about her students succeeding. She brought a spark in me that I did not know was there. Easy quizzes, hard midterms. Homework is issued everyday and is collected in class the following day.
Julie is AMAZING! Im taking her for trigonometry this summer and she really does care about her students. She only teaches you the important stuff and has a great personality. Definitely recommend taking her ! She posts practice tests and quizzes and makes sure you're ready each time. Love her!
Best math teacher I've ever had! She made the material so easy to understand and was always helpful. I really enjoyed taking this class with her! I've never gotten an A in a math class and she made it happen!
Mr. Walters is the best math teacher you can get on earth. If you need to take math from algebra (math120/135) to calculus II (math182/183/192/193), you just stick with her for every math class you need to take. Don't miss her class, take good notes, ask questions and do your homework! You will get an A!
Best math teacher i've had by far! she makes sure you understand what you're learning and makes everything SO easy. i HIGHLY recommend her to everyone!
Walters has been the one math teacher throughout all my school years that I have truly admired and appreciated. She is amazing at what she does, consistent, patient and helpful. I have never felt more confident in math than I did taking her class. I would highly recommend her to any student, math lover or not.
Ms. Walters is not just a wonderful teacher, but also a person filled with desirable values of humanity. She is a teacher who you will remember for lifetime.
absolutely the best math teacher at dvc. not only does she speak perfect english, which is hard to find in the math department, but she makes the material almost impossible to not understand. everything is explained in the most simple way i was actually excited to go to math, and i hate math. she is seriously the best instructor ive ever had at dvc
I am no Math superstar, but Mz.Walters is a God send of a Math Teacher. Her teaching style is super clear, but not only that, she's a very caring and encouraging type of teacher, and super patient with students that are not the quickest to learn. I was a little intimidated by Math 120, but Mz.Walters helped me to dispel my worries and fears.
Hands down best teacher I have ever had in my life. I took her math 135 class and now I am in math 182 with her. She makes everything very clear and understandable and will do everything she can to make sure you comprehend the information. I reccomend her to anyone and everyone. Only complaint is that she doesn't teach other subjects as well
im tookm her for many math classes. she is the best teacher to take. She will help you if you ask for help. in highly recemend to take her class.
She probably is the best person to teach you math. Her style of teaching is perfect. However, her class is still hard. You cannot just not do homework and ace the class. Homework assignments are not as lengthy as you would think so that makes her likable. It is a hard class, but she makes it seem a bit easier.
She is AMAZING at explaining. I highly recommend her.
Aptly Prepares you and Tests your Limits. Teaching style is amazing and comprehensive. Class attendance is very important to success. Best Math Teacher Ever! It feels good when you take a course where you feel you learned a lot.
Walters for president is all I'm saying. This woman is my favorite ever. Before calculus with her I was on a 3-class fail steak. She gave me confidence, she made math fun, she is hysterical and ridiculously down to earth, reasonable and just cool. Yes, I am a fan. I want to be cool enough to hang out with her. Who doesn't .. I can never repay her
If you are able to enroll into her class, you must have done something kind to others in your past life. She is the best teacher in my educational career, and she is also the person who you want to hang out with forever.
Most spectacular teacher. Ever. I failed my first two attempts at calc, stopped taking it for too many yrs, looked up the best teacher at DVC and drove all the way to SRC for her. Worth it. Learned a lot and will forever love her. 3 tests, 3 quizzes (1 take home), 1 final, 2 projects (1 x/c), HWs not lengthy. No use book except for HW probs.
Never fully understood algebra until I took her. She teaches you what you need to know and doesn't confuse you with stuff you don't. Awesome teacher.
Awesome teacher. I hated math before this class. Got an A. Do the homework and ask questions. She makes sure you understand the material. Loved her sense of humor too.
Teaches well, but gives incredibly hard test
Professor explains things extremely well, don't miss a single class or you will fall behind. The material gets complicated so it's best to show for every class. Prepare to work hard, her tests are tough. Not like homeworks and practice problems, much more complicated.
Best teacher I've had at DVC. Explains everything well, and cares about students. Makes learning Calc fun and less painful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
She's the best, she's my hero. Down to earth, smart, flexible , always helpful and nice. Lovely manner, funny and knowledgable. I love her I wish I could take more classes with her.
Julie is definitely the best math teacher I have ever had! Her lectures are very engaging which I didn't expect for a calc class. She is always willing to answer any question and help outside of class. Quizzes and tests are challenging but she gives lots of partial credit. She really cares for her students and knows everyone by name. She's great!!
Very clear lectures. 3 quizzes (1 take home), 3 exams, and a final. Gives out practice exams which are very similar to the actual exams. Drops two of your lowest grades for homework. Extra credit can be achieved by going to math lab. Very articulate, smart, and helpful teacher. Highly recommended for any math courses she teaches.
Professor Walters teaches class in a way her students can understand. I was afraid to start calculus, but with Professor Walters I always understood what she was teaching, more so than with any other Math Professor. Her tests are hard because she challenges you, but she just wants to ensure that you truly understand the concepts.
Amazing teacher. A lot of material is explained in lecture because she wants to make sure to cover all bases so students don't get confused. Will answer almost any homework problem you want. Very straight forward about what she wants you to know. Gives a lot of partial credit. Testsquizzes aren't easy, but she gives you all the tools you need
She is probably one of the best math teachers I've ever had! She is super helpful when you need it! Very clear in class and don't worry about asking her stupid questions, she doesn't judge you! Her take-home quizzes are super hard, though! Tests and quizzes are okay some are easy but at least one of them is going to be hard during the semester!
very helpful teacher. She doesn't take points on homework if you have completed it. But purchase a advanced calculator for the tests, because the calculation on the tests are very tedious.
I have taken 192 and 193 w Walters. I LOVE HER. She is a gift from the math gods. Amazing lectures. Very helpful and encouraging before & after class, during office hours, and thru email. Homework is great prep for tests. Must attend class (she teaches from her heart, not from the book). Strongly recommended - best teacher I've ever met.
Professor Walters is without a doubt the best math teacher I have ever had. You definitely need to attend class for this one, but if you show up, do your homework and practice test questions, and go to math lab you will make it. Math at this level is really hard but she is so helpful and really knows this stuff. Would recommend for sure.
Thanks to Julie Calc 3 has been easier than i could possibly hope. She is just so clear and even when something can only be visualized in your head she repeats herself until you understand it. Very respectable woman. Highly recommend taking any of her classes.
Best professor I've ever had. Her lectures are amazing, she explains in ways everyone can understand, & will help you to make concepts more clear. 3 exams, 3 quizzes, one final. She is extremely genuine, approachable, and funny. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN. She will make math bearable. Gives practice problems/practice exams. Study and you'll do well.
I took professor Walters for Math 182 and 183. I decided to take her 192 and 193 series just for fun, because she is just that awesome. I will say it again. I took 192 and 193 for fun. Do whatever you can to get into her class. I used to like math, but professor Walters made me love math. Best teacher hands down.
Great teacher. Arguably the best math professor at this college. Knows her material very well and explains all the different problems clear-cut. There are no surprises in the tests. If you do the homework she assigns and the practice quizzes she posts, you will get an A for sure. Definitely taking her again for Calculus II.
I took Walters for calc 1, 2 and 3 and I would completely recommend her to anyone. She has this crazy, incredible understanding of math. No matter how you feel about math, Walters can and will help you get through it (and maybe even appreciate it).
Math is my worst subject, for sure... Took Geometry two times and Algebra 3 times... yes I'm that horrible. But Prof. Walters is seriously THE BEST, and I mean BEST math teacher, or teacher in general. Seriously the best teacher ever. If only I could put her in my pocket forever because she is so helpful. Wish I had her for every level!
I've taken almost all of her mathematics courses, she is a phenomenal teacher and definitely puts in the effort to help you succeed and clearly understand every component. Must do your work to do well. She makes herself available when possible in math lab and office hours. TAKE HER, she is the best math teacher out there!
She's amazing. She takes a complex math concept and makes it concise and simple (as simple as 2+24) . If you don't get an A in this class, it means you didn't try are you're really horrible at math.
She is great! Guys if you are worried that her class is already full, don't worry just show up on the first day. She will add you all.
Awesome teacher, explained everything really well. Class just makes sense.
Professor Walters is the best math professor anyone can dream of having. She tries really hard to help all of her students be successful and she makes math enjoyable! She is very generous with points and is very approachable.
4 Exam (50%)3 Quiz(18%)Final Exam(25%) Rest of the percentage is homework. She is okay teacher. She does teach very basic but on Exam she give you very very hard question they are nothing like you did in class. She's also a hard grader. She deducts every point for every little thing. She doesn't provide extra credit. I won't really recommend her.
Im terrible at math, and have a bad foundation in precalc, but Julie made learning calc 2 so easy. She always provided us with examples, practice exams/quizzes, made more practice exams if you asked, responsive to emails, and is overall an awesome teacher. Calc isnt easy, so you have to out in the work but if you study and use her help,its doable.
If you're a student just looking to pass the class for credit or to clear a pre-requisite of another class, I highly recommend this class. It's very laid back and chill, you only show up to exam days. If you're highschool student trying to skip this over summer, don't take it. I'm about to fail the district placement test because you learn NOTHING
Let's be clear, I'm not the BEST at math, but Walters made me feel as if I were. She's not only funny and smart, but this woman can teach! Walters makes the entire lecture a great way to understand what you're doing. Have you ever felt like you get the lecture, but once you do your hw, it's different? Well, that doesn't happen. TAKE WALTERS!
Hard grader and exams are difficult
Professor Walters class is the class to take especially if you are not a math major. She structures her lecture and subjects well so that you would not have to go back and forth. She gives a lot of participation points, so try to answer all the questions in the exam regardless. MA192 is a difficult class for me, but she has made it so much easier.
Prof. Walters is a very great professor!! She teaches very well and is willing to help you in order to succeed. She is Hilarious and makes math pretty fun. Definitely worth taking the class with her. She is by far the best Calculus teacher around.
Professor. Walters is very nice teacher and ready to help. She is funny and very generous with grading. She is very clear and explain everything.
Professor Walters is such a good teacher. She breaks everything down so well and goes over everything just to make sure you fully understand it. I did not even really need to take this class but she made it so easy to follow along and taught it as if you had never been in a math class before (meaning she was very clear on teaching). Also very funny
Ms. Walters is the best professor I have had in DVC PERIOD. Calculus is tough. So practice and practice. Walters is really compassionate. Practice the homework and sample exam papers until perfection. Her exams are long and tough. Her lectures are great, she gives great notes, funny and is cute in this motherly way.
Professor Walters is really chill. She cares about students and tries to help them the most she can, she explained things that are hard on the book in a really easy way. This class is not an easy A, you have to work hard and the midterm, quizzed and final are hard.
She is the best professor I've ever taken. She lectures very clearly and she is very helpful. Gives tons of practice questions before exam and quiz which really helps you. Homework every meeting but is not hard. Questions in exam are pretty much from the practice questions. Gives tons of partial credits. Take her, you're not gonna regret it!!
I loved professor Walters. It was my second time taking calculus (took AP in high school), but she went through everything in such great detail and carried herself in a way that proved that she cared about you the student. A lot of teachers try to be relatable and sympathize, but Miss Walters actually does that and it's genuine.
She's in the pretty rarefied space of whip-smart, well-read teachers who are also funny and display their humanity proudly. She cares a lot and will make you a better person, just by the power of example. Strangely she audio recorded all her lectures without explanation so participation was low, however all the material is taught extremely well.
Julie walters is the dream teacher, she is perfect i am feel incredibly blessed to have taken this class with her! She made math clear and understandable i swear if i git through this class anyone is the entire world could! She goes above and beyond to asure you, you will and CAN succed i absolutely HIGHLY recommend her!!! Take her!!
She is soooo nice. I might even start to like math
She really gets concepts across. Calculus is hard but she makes it a lot easier and she is nice!!!
She makes everything seem easy even absolute value. She explains concepts and gives examples.
Really hard course but she made it fun. She makes things seem simple.
She's the best for a non-math major because she doen't skip steps. I understood her.
Julie is a great teacher. She explains problems thoroughly. She relates the math problems to real life examples or careers. She can help you out after class as well. She is also in the Math Lab. She really cares about the students and gives you feedback. If you can take her, take her.
Math was never my strong suit. I basically failed math through high school. However, something about the way Prof. Walters taught ended up earning me a B+ in the class. I definitely recommend her. Math wasn't as dreadful in her course.
She makes everything seem simple. She's always happy.
Math was never my best subject, but I loved Walters's class. She explained everything in so much detail to make sure everyone understood the material. She was very accommodating and always in a good mood. She provided practice tests and you always got a notecard for the exams (not quizzes).
Has to be one of the best Math teachers ever. Everything is explained in a way that everyone would understand. She allows a notecard for all tests and gives practice problems prior to help you. She also is available when needed for help. As long as you show up to class and do the homework you should do fine.
Julie is one of the best math professors ever!! Math has never been easy for me but she made calc bearable. Gives lots of partial credit on tests and exams. Homework given each class, due the next. Clear and easy teaching style, exams a little harder than hw and lecture. Not easy A but she helps you get as good a grade as possible. No regrets :)
She is one of the best professors around. If you're scared of math take her. You'll succeed. I understood her.
She is the best professor I have ever had! So caring and always willing to help, she makes math seem so easy and explains everything so clearly. I am taking her again for another math!
She is a really great teacher! Highly recommend. She is very reasonable when grading tests. Allows the use of a notecard on tests. She is very clear when it comes to lectures.
Professor Walters portrays herself as a fellow fighter in the battle against math. In addition to being an extremely nice and caring person, she is extremely confident in her math skills, which makes her students feel more at ease. Despite teaching a difficult subject for 2.5 hours straight, the class never became boring, overwhelming, or dense.
The best instructor I've ever had! I was so scared to take this course, but she is so informative, and works very hard to try to make it easy for students to understand the material. This class is a lot of work, but she is an extremely supportive instructor who wants to see students succeed.
Professor Walters is one of the best Mathematics teachers that has ever graced this Earth. She is so funny and caring; honestly a real gem in DVC, definitely take her classes! There is hw daily, but they're fairly easy. She also lets you take pictures of the textbook for hw, so I saved a whole ton of bucks.
Great teacher, pretty easy going, doesnt fuss over reducing fractions, doesnt use Alex (if your not into Alex). I would definitely take her class again
Julie Walters is the best. She explains things so nicely and organized and even the hardest concepts seem easy. She does review days before the exams and never gives an exam or quiz the first class of the week. She doesn't assign a ton of homework or grade them for correctness. If you want a good grade then the problems are your responsibility.
Dr Walters is the best. She really cares for her students. The way she teachers math is so good and clear. She gives daily hw but its not a lot.
Her lessons are interesting. The content and homework are relatively simple, including the practice before the exam is also very simple, but the exam is significantly more difficult than the practice. If you want to get an A, you need to learn a lot by yourself
Cal 3 wasn't an easy subject, but it was manageable with Juile. Exams are 55% (and the final is 25%) of grade, so take each exam/quiz seriously. Go over the lecture and all homework problems before the exam, and do not miss the lecture right before the exam. This class unexpectedly became a tough class at the end. Try not to lose small points.
3 Exams & Final are 80% of your grade & nothing like HW, practice exams, or class examples. I do all problems in book (even & odd); Not just assigned HW & still never saw these problems before. You cannot prepare since you will never see them anywhere. Being challenged & making mistakes is fun & you learn when it's 10% of your grade but not at 80%.
Shes an amazing professor! Tests can be a but harder than the practice exams but she grades very leniently. Always willing to answer any questions and is very caring and understanding. Will respond fast to any questions sent through email and will help even more in office hours. Highly recommend her!!!
I hated math, and still hate math, but professor Walters makes it easy to understand complicated concepts. She goes above and beyond to help you understand the material and is very merciful with her grading. Not just likable as a teacher but also as a professor. She's so kind and understanding to her students. 100% taking her again for calc.
I took her calc 2 class during fall 2020 it was hard but she's a very nice professor and a lenient grader.
Professor Walters is absolutely amazing. The best Professor Ive had at DVC. Very clear in lectures, provides exam practice problems and they are very similar to what youll see on the exam. Lenient grader. Funny. Helpful. Seriously, Ill be taking her again in Calc 1 and 2. Loved her class. Take her!
She is a good teacher and usually everyone gets a good grade so please work hard because there may not be a chance to have the grade curved. She always answers questions in detail so be sure to ask questions whenever you have any difficulty. She is also very kind and honestly the only professor this semester that cared enough to tell us to relax.
I hate math and am terrible at it always have been and got an A in this class. She is the best math prof for people who don't like math. So caring and patient with all her students. She makes the extra effort to help every single one of her students even if that means taking time out of her teaching time. 3 tests, one final. Best teacher at DVC
Julie Walters is the most caring, sweet, understanding, and helpful woman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her welcoming personality is what makes it so easy to talk to her. The way that she taught us the topics was so clear and simple that I could easily understand what she was explaining. Even on Zoom! I 100% recommend you take her!!
Professor Walters is beyond amazing. She had confidence in my abilities of doing well even though it felt challenging at times. She showed a lot of caring and understanding for us as students. I will never forget that and it is sad that the semester has ended because I will definitely miss having her. Students would be definitely happy to take her
No required zoom meetings, everything is pre-recorded videos that are helpful. The homework is half online (MyLab and Mastering) and half through the textbook that you do on paper and scan in. There's 3 tests worth 55% of your grade and gives you a study guide for each one. There's quizzes that are 25% which are timed and you have 2 attempts.
One of the best math teachers I've ever had. Always willing to help and gives little homework. Tests are a bit hard but if you pay attention and are willing to try you will pass this class easily. I would definitely take this class again. Very chill and won't bother you if you're on your phone or working on assignments from other classes.
ONE OF THE BEST PROF EVER. not only is she spectacular at teaching math, julie is one of the most genuine humans ive ever met. if you can take her class - DO IT. she is super accessible out of class and holds office hours at math lab; incredibly helpful if you find that lectures are fast paced or if you need extra practice. one of my fav prof!!
Professor Walters is probably one of the best math professors at DVC. I had her for Trigonometry class and she goes above and beyond for her students to make sure that her students understand what she's teaching. She is so kind and patient towards her students and is such a great person to work with. I will definitely take her class again!
EXCELLENT teacher. I for one was a bit nervous for this class since it was the first bit of in-person I'd had in a while, but I fell right back into stride in her class. She had a way of making the material we learned not only clear but engaging throughout, which was good cause there was a lot to get through. Trust me, you needn't look any further.
Julie Walters is the best person to take calculus with. She provides clear step-by-step processes to help break things down into manageable parts. She is always willing to help her students and always responds to emails efficiently. She looks to give partial credit wherever she can. She also allows notecards on tests, which is a lifesaver. Take her
Hands down the best professor I've ever had. She still helps her students even when they no longer have a class with her! Lectures could be early in the morning yet her personality could wake you up! She's very clear on what she expects you to know on exams and spoils you with awesome review the class before an exam. I wish she taught every class.
Calculus is a challenging class. That being said, Walters is probably the best teacher at DVC to take! She has great lectures that make me want to show up to class! She also is very lenient with her grading. She gives students every chance to succeed. (Ps. If stuck on a test make sure to ask her for help. She can be more helpful than you may think)
If you have the chance to take Prof. Walters do it. She is by far the best teacher I have ever had for math. She is patient, caring, and willing to help you understand the material. She is available for help right after her class and usually has extra credit opportunities though out her exams. Over all she is everything you would look for in a Prof
Prof. Walters is such an amazing teacher. She is very kind and understanding when it comes to course difficulty and workload. She considers students forgetting material and will do a brief review of it. She is absolutely wonderful and I took her for all my calc courses. She is probably one of the best teachers at dvc.
Professor Walters is easily one of the best professors I have ever had at DVC. She is extremely passionate about math and always provides clarification if needed. There are a total of three midterms, two quizzes and one final. There is no curve given, but she offers extra credit. Overall a pleasure to have, and you won't regret taking her.
I was a bit worried about taking this class 1.5 years after taking Calc 1, but Professor Walters made sure even the toughest material was understandable and reviewed some older concepts. All her lectures were engaging. There were 3 exams, a final exam, and homework was assigned most classes. I would highly recommend taking Professor Walters!
Best Prof at DVC without a doubt. Amazing lectures and is very approachable and friendly. If you pay attention in class and do the hw the exams are pretty easy. You will be prepared for anything that shows up, no oddball questions. Also a very generous partial credit giver. Do not be afraid to ask her questions on the exams she is VERY helpful.
The best math teacher at DVC. She has the best teaching style. Very consistent and always accessible. Super caring. Homework every class but she gives credit for completion not correctness. Overall a great teacher for a hard subject. Would take again
She is the best Mathematics professor at DVC. She prepares for her class lecture. she has amazing technic for her student can understand calculus. She prepares her student for every future mathematic class. she also has extra credit. She gives the practice for the exam. if you come to her class every day, do all homework you'll get a good grade.
she was one of the best professor I ever had. I'm working with english as second language and I past her class
I was so nervous to go back to in person class I felt so comfortable, she doesn't call randomly, she has personality & tells funny stories. She helped me understand calculus & explained why. I hate math but now I'm thinking math isn't the problem it was my past teachers 10/10 I would take it again just to have her as a teacher again.
Great personalities and very caring. She does review day the lecture before exam and also have extra credit question on the exams. Homework is manageable. Tests are a bit harder than homework so expect to practice more than just hw questions if you want an A. Definitely one of the best math prof at DVC.
Professor Walters is an engaging and helpful instructor. The material can be challenging, but her clear explanations and extra support, like Unstuckstudy, make it manageable. Definitely take this class if you can.
An absolutely phenomenal lecturer and professor. I always looked forward to coming to class because Professor Walters made learning differential equations exciting. She knew how to answer any question that was asked with detailed explanations. Practice tests and homework are reflective of the material and she is extremely approachable. Great prof.
She's kind, helpful, and always answers questions. The lectures are very useful, so don't skip them. Exams and quizzes can be tough, but if you attend lectures, complete homeworks, and ask questions, you'll do well. Extra credit is available, so take advantage of it. She makes diff eq fun! Best math professor!
2nd time taking her. One of the best Math Professor at DVC. She is very kind, helpful, and enthusiastic. Her lectures are amazing and she also does review session the lecture before exams. Very reasonable syllabus, generous grader, and homework is manageable. Also offers extra credit question on exams. Definitely take her for all your math classes
She's the best math prof at DVC, genuinely so grateful that I was able to take her class!!! Differential equations is not easy, but she was able to break down difficult concepts so well! Go for her office hours too, they helped me so much! She is extremely patient and definitely wants you to succeed :)
Best professor at DVC. She is very knowledgable and helpful. She actually cares about her students and wants to see you succeed. Super kind.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! Homework due every class but it is manageable and helps a lot for exams and quizzes. Exams are just a tad bit tougher than homework but nothing you haven't learned. Her practice exams are a wonderful resource and so are her office hours! She genuinely cares about her students and wants to help everyone. I would 100% take again.
Professor Walters was the best math teacher I had at DVC. Her lectures and teaching style are very easy to follow and she holds office hours pretty regularly which is extremely helpful for anybody who needs it.
Great lecturer. One of the few professors I have had at DVC that treats all of her students with compassion, understanding, and a faith that they want to learn the material for themselves.
Julie is the best teacher I have encountered in my life. Her patience, humor, and enthusiasm for math are reflected in how well her students do. She assigns homework every class, but it is doable and you can ask her for help. We had 2 quizzes + 3 exams + 1 final, which was expected. She will never make you feel bad for asking for help. Take Julie!!
