She's so nice. She's really easy going, and goes at a very slow paced, prob. too slow, cuz it's easy to lose interest. But, she's a really good teacher, very helpful, and informative.

she lets you out of class early everytime almost. you have to keep up to date with homework...and she works much better one-on-one. There is homework due everyday and two quizzes a week with a midterm and a final

really sweet human being. excelent clarity, but her voice is a bit monotone, don't take this class too early in the morning, you'll fall asleep

Very prepared, willing to take the time to explain one on one. Keep up with the 20 min hw assignments and you'll be fine

She is a very good and thorough teacher. Her notes are very well prepared. Easy to understand. Two quizes every week. Attendance is not mandatory, but might affect your grade in excessiveness.

Very good Profesor. She does a good job on explaining everything... I would recommend taking her for Algebra..

She is really really nice & very helpful. Her class is a breeze, compared to other math classes and her style of teaching is just great. She'll teach you everything in a very easy way & you'll end up doing well.

awesome teacher. and she doesnt keep you in longer than needed. her notes are so helpful. is broken down.

she was easy and explained everything very well

She is AWESOME. Really good prof... esp. 1 on 1

easy A, very helpful & clear notes, helpful in office hours, nice, get out of class early, cancels afternoon class day before vacations. great teacher, take her if you can.

She is cool

She is very nice and her notes are very good and organized. Only drawback to having class is homework is due almost everyday (along w/ most math classes though. Take her if you can.

she is easy! her notes and straight to the point. her tests and quizzes are easy because she does simple numbers..she makes calc really easy cause she doesnt get technical and doesnt make you simplify or give you crazy numbers. very helpful during office hours..i highly recommend her!

GREAT PROFESSOR... always available to help with any questions you have and really wants you to learn. Easy class to get an A in if you DO THE HOMEWORK. 2 weekly quizzes, 1 on new material and the other is review on everything so you're constantly remembering how to do things from the beginning which REALLY helps for the final!

very helpful teacher. depending on your math skills, class can be very easy. simple quizzes weekly, tests/midterm/final are representative of their reviews. catch is: homework twice due twice week. show up to her office hours, she helps ALOT

She has really clear notes. There a weekly quizzes, but if you do your homework they are really easy. There are three tests and a final but its really easy. I used to hate math, but her clear notes and teaching method is very helpful. You have to attend class though or else its easy to get behind.

I know some are reluctant to listen to these comments but please if you want a great teacher please take ellis she is awsome.....go to her office hrs. and do your homework there she will help you...and then you can had it in there in her class

She is quiet and reserved, but will help you if you come to her. She is very organized with her notes, so it is easy to keep up. Her tests are not too touch b/c she gives a lot of quizzes that help you prepare for the tests. She ALWAYS lets class out early, it's sweet. Take her for sure

LOVE LOVE LOVE her! She's such a clear and helpful professor. I've taken her 2 or 3 times and each time I love her teaching even more. She's very helpful, will always do a problem if you ask and will always make things even more clear than they already are if you need.

If you want a math class that spoon feeds you everything you will need to know..she is your lady. Her lectures are very helpful and she gives you multiple examples. Tests are easy, and straightforward. looks for basic understanding.

She is an easy teacher.Not one of those math teachers that try to trick you, if you know the subject then she is fine with that. About 10 problems of hw a night and due in two classes (i.e. given on Mon, due on Fri). Quizzes like once a week taken almost directly from the hw and she drops your lowest score. 3 tests, easy too. TAKE this CLASS!

She's great, really easy to understand and makes it easy for you to succeed! She literally spoon feeds you the info you need to know, which is great if you hate math and just want to pass the class with a decent grade

She is very very dry and not engaging at all. If you are more extroverted, do not take her class. However, she is very clear with the material and she will help you if you go to her office hours. Try to take someone else, but if you get stuck with her, OFFICE HOURS. Seriously, they help. Tests are moderate, quizzes are easy, homework is easy.

She is super boring but its a really easy class and explains the material clearly. The tests and quizzes are all relevant to what we learned in class.

I definitely recommend prof Ellis. Class isn't exciting and she's soft spoken but she makes the material very easy to understand. She is very nice and wants students to do well. we were often let out of class early too. take her!!!

Professor Ellis is wonderful! She is the sweetest woman in the world and really wants her students to do well. MATH 102 is an EXTREMELY easy class. She has outlined notes that she writes on the board for lecture with lots of examples. Her lectures are very clear and super easy to understand. Highly recommended. Take her and you will do well!

Karen Ellis is a great professor. She knows the material and relays it very well. The class isn't the most interesting but you're able to learn the material if you just do your work and go to class.

I felt that her class was very beneficial to the non-math major. She gives very clear and easy-to-follow notes. If you go over your notes from class prior to a quiz or test until you have a good grasp on the material, you'll do just fine. She is very sweet. I highly recommend her!!

Professor Ellis is actually the best math teacher I have ever had. She explains everything so well. She is also so nice. She never gives you busy work. If you just do what she asks you will get a good grade. Take her over any other math teacher.

She makes the tests and quizzes right out the notes, so study the notes OR pay attention in class and do (understand) the test/quiz reviews, you will EASILY get an A in the class. I have gotten 3 100% on 2 quizzes and a test so far, and I only studied an hour before class. VERY timid and awkward but can't get much clearer than this.

This is literally the easiest class you will ever take... and I'm not a math person. She's a great teacher. Lots of notes, but class goes by way fast. Take it to get rid of core!

Before taking this class I was scared of math. I had not taken a math class since 2007. Ms. Ellis is one of the kindest and most patient professors I've ever had. She is very organized, helpful and accessible. If you find math difficult, she is willing to work with you if you show you are dedicated and a hard worker. Excellent professor.

I hate hate hate math but this is the first math class I took an A in because she is such a good teacher. Her notes are so simplistic and she wants everyone to succeed. I'm taking her again next semester for math 120 because I know with her I am going to understand the material 100 %.

Take Mrs. Ellis! Her notes a super organized and clear, everything on the quizzes and tests are covered in class, she drops your two lowest quiz scores at the end of the semester, she constantly lets you know what your overall grade is and offers a lot of extra credit (both in individual assignment and on tests)! Do the homework and take notes!

Professor Ellis is great! She is extremely helpful and her notes are very detailed and have lots of examples. She takes most of the quiz questions from the notes or homework so make sure to do both. If you go to class 90% of the time, you are pretty much guaranteed to get an A.

Professor Ellis was an awesome teacher for Math 120! She is easy, because she'll help you out whenever as well as give some extra credit every once in a while. She always wants to help and tries her best to make sure everyone passes with flying colors.

Ellis is an excellent math professor and tries to make concepts easy to follow. The in class notes she gives reflect everything you need to know for homework (every night), tests (3 total), and quizzes (many classes). She updates on your overall grade often so you know where you stand. She is happy to help and answers emails very quickly. TAKE!

Prof. Ellis was okay. She teaches some things in a way that is more difficult than it has to be. I had to get a tutor because her teaching was confusing to me. I would recommend to friends, but I wouldn't take again

She's pretty easy and updates grades really often. Goes through lecture really slowly so everyone can understand. She's straightforward and her review sheets are exactly what will be on the exam. Take her!!

I liked Professor Ellis in class. I think for the most part she explained things clearly. BUT she was NOT helpful at all outside of class. When I would talk to her after class in the classroom, she was very nice. However, in her office when I came in with questions she hardly paid attention to me and I know others who had the same experience.

Prof. Ellis is a great teacher, she's really sweet and speaks super softly which I had to get used to at first. She gives us homework almost every week but it's not too hard and it helps improve your grade. She has many quizzes which aren't hard at all and improve your grade. She also offers extra credit options which are awesome! Easy A.

She is a very sweet professor. She is clear in all of her directions and always accessible for questions. There is homework every night but not too many problems and easy to do (even from someone who isn't great at math)! She gives quiz and test reviews which greatly help. As long as you put in the work, you'll get the grade!

Take notes in class and don't be afraid to visit her during office hours if you have any questions. Will provide examples of all the problems, most of which you'll see again on the test. Sometimes too quiet, but everything is articulated on the board.

Professor Ellis is an amazing professor and really cares about her students. There is homework for every class period and five quizzes but these are very helpful so you don't get behind! She is the most caring professor I have had at LMU. Take her for math - especially if you don't like math because she makes it better!!

I dislike math but she made it enjoyable enough to get through the subject. She's very nice and clearly states what's going to be on tests and quizes.

TAKE HER Honestly one of the best math teachers I ever had. There is a quiz every week but honestly it keeps you on top of your studies. You have to work hard for an A but it is possible. The way she teaches it is extremely easy to understand. She's amazing and is always able to help after class or during office hours

She made math very clear and understandable. Definitely one of the nicest people I've ever met. As long as you do your homework, you will do well in the class. And the homework isn't even that bad. Her notes are very clear and easy to understand. The homework is very similar to the quizzes and tests, so there are no surprises when it comes to that.

Took Math 102 with Prof. Ellis to fill my math core, and it's SUCH an easy class. It's boring but Ellis is really nice and occasionally slips in some self-deprecating jokes that you don't expect. You only need to do 60% of the homework to get full credit, and the tests aren't bad at all. She's really great at explaining concepts and so sweet!

Math has always been my worst subject by far, but Prof Ellis has turned that around. She made math as enjoyable as it can be, and really cares about her students. She understands a lot of students have trouble with math and does whatever she can to help. Whatever she puts on the quiz/test study guides are almost always on the test.

Karen is really sweet and wants to make sure everyone in the class is learning. She has made it her mission to reduce math anxiety and test anxiety for her students. Her lessons are very clear and as long as you pay attention, take good notes, and do the homework you should be fine. Make sure you show up for tests/quizzes bc there are no make-ups.

She is a fantastic professor! Take her! simple as that

She writes her notes on the board! Seriously all you have to do is copy the notes and do the homework. Quizzes, tests, and exams are exactly like the homework except the numbers are different. I didn't try at all and I regret not getting that easy A.

Professor Ellis was one of the best teachers I've had. She explains concepts very clearly and makes sure you understand everything that is going to be on the tests.

Lovely human, really wants to help you get the best mark you can. A decent amount of Hwk and quizzes but if you copy her notes from class and see her for office hours for difficult questions there is no reason why you can't get a comfortable A in this class. I took her for 101 and am taking her for 120 too!

The class is pretty easy as long as you study. Homework with a few problems are assigned every day. The teacher seems to be a little shy but nice overall. DO NOT buy the textbook, just download it for free online.

Dr. Ellis is super sweet and very accessible. She works hard to make sure everyone understands the material and has lots of opportunities for office hours/tutoring. Lectures and notes are clear and tests are similar to class. There are quizzes and hw often, and hw is all the book is used for. Grading is easy and she writes notes and posts the keys.

She is a good all-around teacher. She is clear on what she expects from day 1.

Math is hard and requires plenty of practice to improve, so of course there is a decent workload with this class. However, if more Professors showed the work ethic, effort and care of Prof. Ellis, college would be a much better place. She gives everything for her classes and will do whatever she can to help you get the best grade. Appreciate her!

She's an amazing professor and you can tell she really cares about her students and helping them actually learn the material.

I'm definitely not a math person but professor Ellis made this class super enjoyable. She's the best math professor that I've ever had. She's super clear on dates for quizzes, tests, and homework and she provides pre-typed notes for you to write on before every class. It was the first time I really understood what was happening in a math class.

Professor Ellis is a great professor because she understands the students who take her class dislike math and are only taking her class due to the university's outdated core requirements. Therefore, she makes the class as easy as possible and genuinely wants everybody to succeed. She understands the kind of students she is catering to.

Prof Ellis was exceptionally easy to work with. She teaches the material in a clear, concise manner and is always willing to explain any questions. She has open office hours and is a wonderful person in general.

This class was super easy and actually really useful! She made me actually like math for once! There is a lot of homework but if you do it then you just studied for the quizzes and tests so I didn't mind. She's such a sweet human, definitely recommend!

FAVORITE PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! She really takes the time to explain every part of each section in detail so there is never ay confusion when you leave the class. She makes notes for every section and her class is SUPER organized. She is also such a sweet woman. Highly recommend!

Best math professor I have ever taken. I am not usually good at math but she makes you feel like you are. Very clear explanations of material. Extremely helpful during office hours. If math scares you TAKE KAREN ELLIS!

I don't know where to start she is really sweet and kind. She explains everything clearly and she is very helpful during her office hours. No matter whether you like math or not you will enjoy and understand her classes because she makes complicated concepts easy as a piece of cake. I wish I could take all my other math courses with her.

The people saying she was difficult/boring just never spent the time to actually work diligently on the assignments. This class was a breeze and if I ever needed help she had office hours 4hrs/ week. Its no surprise theres so many recent ratings that say she was difficult considering there were only 2-3 students that I would see in office hours.

Prof. Ellis was the best math teacher I've had, super helpful for people who aren't the best at math. There was quite a bit of homework but nothing overwhelming, and as long as you fill out her notes, it's super easy. She's very good at what she does and makes it easy to catch up if you're struggling.

I love her. I want her to adopt me. Thats all

There's homework after almost every class and at least one quiz per week. All homework is graded on completion and accuracy. If you need help, she connects you with a tutor. Tests are exactly like the study guide and her notes set you up well for assessments. She doesn't go over the homework, so you may have to go to office hours if you want help.

This is the nicest woman ever; cleanest handwriting, clearest speaking, nicest woman. I'm so glad I got her for math this year.

There would usually be homework due every lesson and weekly quizzes, which definitely enabled and encouraged us to apply class-concepts and assess our knowledge frequently. I did find this helpful, though the amount of homework was overwhelming at times. Just remember to attend classes and ensure you get the notes and understand them.

Continuing from my previous rating, do not skip class, you may end up missing a quiz or test by accident. Personally, I found this class very important so I was not the type to skip. The lessons are also structured very well, and notes are generally clear.

Not the most helpful in class if you get confused but I was in math 101. Offers extra credit assignments, only a few points, and extra credit for not missing more than 2 classes. Quizzes are easy, bare bones of concepts you learned and tests are just longer quizzes. Hw is also pretty easy. Also nice enough to let you miss class if you email.

Professor Ellis is a very organized teacher. She's super fast-paced during class, so if you're anything like me and aren't the best at math then expect to do a lot of studying outside class. Her office hours are 15-min online appointments that are one-on-one with students which is helpful. The grade you get is 100% reflective of the effort put in.

She gives out homework and there are quizzes often but it actually helps you learn the material and she is very caring and understanding so shes definitely the teacher you want to take math

Super nice professor. Gives a lot of feedback and always accessible outside of class, super responsive to emails too. High workload but as long as you come to class you shouldn't struggle. Plenty of opportunities to raise grade. Always let u know how you should improve, don't skip class or else you will struggle. Easy A

Easiest class I have ever taken. For those that said this class was hard, just didn't go to class. She goes over your homework in class with just different problems, so hw is easy and clear. Also very good at explaining the problems. Tests and quizzes are short and you are ALWAYS given a study guide. She is an angel. Take her if you can!!

Extremely organized, u have all the tools to succeed online. ppl ignore the readings, don't. even if you just skim it makes a huge difference. Attendance doesn't count towards ur grade bc if u don't come, it's literally ur loss. Do the HW and pay attention to her tips bc she points out questions that will fall on the final. Quiet but amazing

Professor Ellis was the perfect professor to teach this course. If you keep up with the homework, study just a little bit for quizzes and mostly pay attention, this class is a breeze. Professor Ellis is also super available for office hours and is overall a really kind person who cares about her students doing well.

I would highly recommend Prof. Ellis' Math101 class. She was a really great teacher and cares about the content she is teaching. My best advice is to show up to class so you can get the notes done and so you can understand the material better!

As someone who struggles in math and only wanted to pass, I liked the organization of this class! Lessons are easy to follow and understand, quizzes/tests aren't that hard, and attendance isn't strict. There's a lot of hw but easy to get 100%. You also have to do a good amount of group work. The co-requisite lab is super easy as well.

Definitely take this class! I've always struggled with math, but she is amazing and makes it not so hard. Her lessons and notes are incredibly organized, and she explains everything step by step in a way that's easy to follow. Attending class is a must! She is also super understanding and very sweet.

Have her for quantitative skills. Honestly, it wasn't too bad, an upper tier math class for me. She's kind of an introvert which is fine for me but I've heard people getting help might have to go through a bit of a hurdle. Her lectures are usually short but they can be boring which can hurt during 8 ams. There's also a lot of homework thats easy.

Solid Professor. Easy to understand.

Professor Ellis is great and really kind as well as lenient. She gives students ample resources and chances to bring their grade up throughout the semester. She can be a little quiet but thats just her personality so don't be shy to speak to her or even email she'll definitely get back to you. Lastly there is homework practically every class.

I had a great time with professor Ellis! It's important to stay engaged in this class (as there are a bit more assignments in this class than in other classes) but I enjoyed this class as I found the math more applicable than anything I have learned before! Said mandatory attend. because it made me pick; you should go!

I hate math and she was a great lecturer, super understanding of any conflicts I had. Does a lot of collaborative work and in-class review that prepares you for tests super well.

I am not a fan of math and this was just a required course. However Ellis made this extremely easy to understand. It truly is not difficult to follow along as she gives you notes and class time to complete practice problems with classmates. Quiz every 2 weeks, a test every month or so. Class attendance is mandatory so you can do the 10 HW questions

Attendance is mandatory, and tardies are also counted. She gives you a bonus quiz as extra credit onlu for 0 tardies and 8 absences. Quiz every 2 weeks, each 3-5 questions, and monthly tests with 10 questions. If you miss class, you miss the notes that help with the homework. Has lots of office hours and group work done in class.But she is so sweet

Prof. Ellis is the best math teacher I've ever had. Took this as a core req and I'm so glad I got her as my professor. She is very accessible, calm, and works thru the material at the classes pace, so if you're lagging she will meet you where you are. The best ever, seriously. Take her class, you will actually learn math without crying

Professor Ellis is very nice, but her class is very fast paced. I was able to keep up with this pace and get a good grade, but if you aren't good at math this may not be the case. She teaches math as though you already understand her rather than it being new information. You will have homework everyday, quizzes and tests every 3-4 weeks, and finals

Really good math teacher. She explained precalc in a way that actually made everything make sense, and she was always available if you needed help. There's homework every night and weekly quizzes, but they're totally doable if you understand the material. Super supportive and a great choice if you want a teacher who's clear and organized.
