she has the worst teaching method by far... she really sucks and you will fall asleep in her class. she sucks as a teacher..
Really helps the students and shows interest in them. Best math teacher I've had.
Worst teacher I've ever had. She constantly screwed up her own problems. If you asked her a question, she was clueless and had to check the textbook to figure it out. She was useless.
Most understanding teacher I've ever had. She allows retests to help you learn and get a better grade. Really explains the problems.
Really easy teacher. Prints off all handouts just fill them out as you go. Collects all homework before each test and before you turn them in she does them with you. She's not the best at explaining but you can tell she cares and loves her job. Funny watching her sometimes too :)Oh, and she allows retakes. TAKE THIS CLASS! u wont regret it.
Most understanding Math teacher I've ever had. She really expalins the problems with examples..and I'm not good at math, but I'm getting it. She lets you ask all the questions you want to so you understand how to do the problems....and she gives you a second chance to do better. Take her class. She hands out all the noters too.
Great prof. I finally understand stat. Homework is done on the computer and she gives you notes. The tests aren't easy, but fair. You can tell she really likes to teach stat and like her students
She is a very very sweet teacher and very calk and kind. Stat is a hard math class but she makes it easy and very fun, all H/W is done vis mthxl and there is no way you can get it wrong - she gives you the chance to fix all the wrong answers. its is impossible not to get 100 on your HW and everything she teaches she makes it easy.NO REGRET good pro
Very passionate about statistics! Provided additional help and explanations for students who need it. Homework is all done online with unlimited chances to work on it, so there is no excuse not to get 100. Also provides extra credit quizzes for students to earn additional points. Sweetest lady, wants to see students succeed!
Very compassionate instructor who really helps the students. Her homework is helpful and she will go over any problems that you want. Take her classes
MOST PASSIONATE MATH TEACHER EVER! I thought I was going to fail cuz the materials a little challenging since its statistics, I ended up with a B! Homework is done online with unlimited chances to work onn it. HIGHLY recommend!
Shes such a sweet lady. Overall this class will never be easy but she is the best teacher. All her notes are printed and she goes over everything in class. All homework is online and she gives so much extra credit.
I got stuck in this class due to my advisor screwing me over. But this class is like highschool all over agian. simple, easy, and boring. She cares about the students. Alot of the homework is very helpful.
I had her for college algebra. the class was extremely boring, but ms mcneal is probably one of the sweetest people i've ever met. she's always smiling and she's very passionate about her job. she does notes off powerpoint and gives you the handouts. lots of extra credit towards the end. she really wants you to do good. superrrr nice lady!
Very nice women whom cares about her students and will do everything she can to help you. It is a difficult course but she attempts to simplify a tough subject. Plenty of opportunities for extra credit. A little slow paced but understands students have lives. One homework assignment a week.

MRS. MCNEAL is so nice and clear on what she wants and attempts to make things easy for you. She understands that math is a hard subject so she makes it easier by letting you take retest. which all math teachers should do because she says thats her way of letting the students learn the material which I completely agree and my grade jumping is proof
She really cares about her students learning math. She gives you a chance to take a retest so you can continue to study if you mess up a test and then do better. She gives you all the notes from class so you can listen and not just write notes. Take her class cause she'll help you by letting you ask any questions.
Really nice and cares about her students. Kinda boring, I basically learned the material while doing the homework and went on facebook her whole class.
The best teacher ever
Karen was a great instructor. She really does care about her students and her job. She teaches because she wants to, shes retired. I advise paying attention during class and using MathXL. makes the class easier. Get on her good side and gain her trust and you will sail through. Says goofy things sometimes, but other wise good class.
Karen is such a nice teacher and actually cares about her students and what they are trying to achieve. She lets you retake every test you take which is something not a lot of teachers allow. I would definitely recommend her!
Great teacher
AWESOME STATS teacher! TAKE HER! she makes everything so much easier. i am terrible in math and the way she teaches helped me so much! she knows its a hard class and gives extra credit quizzes to help boost the grades. show up to the classes and do the homework and you will do good.
TAKE HER. Extra credit quizzes and homework is online with multiple attempts to do it so if you try you can get a 100. hw is worth 20% of grade,particip worth 10%. Not an easy class and she knows this. always willing to help I am serious TAKE her if you are a liberal arts major and do not like math like me!
She was a great teacher! Really wants you to learn the materials! She gave extra point quizzes on most chapters and the last week she spent reviewing for the final. I thought I would fail on the first day, but because of her I got a 105% Really hard subject, but AMAZING teacher!
Professor McNeal is great! The subject matter is difficult. However, she makes it easy, concise, she speaks well and is interested in YOU getting a good grade. She will answer questions, help with tutoring and gives extra point quizzes. You must attend class but there is no reason for you to ever fail her class.
Most boring class ever. Homework is all done on MathXL but it's frustrating because if you're one decimal place off it marks it wrong and you have to redo it. This gets annoying when it's a 5 part question. Never used the book.
Mrs. McNeal can be a little crazy and class is kinda boring but she is a really good teacher. Homework is done online and you can do it as many times as you want until you get 100%. her tests get increasingly harder but as long as you study and do the homework you'll pass. She goes over every test and explains things thoroughly. i recommend her
Material is difficult and tests are hard, so you need to go to class, pay attention & ask questions or she'll keep moving on. She gives a lot of e.c. though and she always give time outside of class if you need it. Didn't use book.
The nicest teacher ever. allows you to retake every test one time. Do not buy the book she never made us use it once. mathxl is used but is very helpful. shes always open to help you with any questions you have. takes her time with slides, kind of slow but explains with much detail. tests are clear and easy. highly recommend her.
DO NOT TAKE HER. Worst teacher ever. You can't even understand her. She is so confusing she teaches you 3 different things for each chapter. How its done on Mathxl, the test and then final. So you never know what to do. People cheat in her class and she acts like she doesn't see it. I don't recommend her.
Really bad teacher!!! Had to withdraw her class. Highest grade I received for a test was a C-. If you are not good at math don't take her. Never used the book in class.
Definitely take her class. She cares about her students and lets you retake tests. All of her homework is done with the computer. Try to get her class in B255 where you will have your own computer for class.
Does not explain the material only reads off the PowerPoint. Her exams are extremely difficult. I had to drop her class to save my GPA. I would recommend a different teacher! This is the only course I drop and glad I took it with a different professor the second time. Mrs. Durkin is way better at explaining stats!!
She was not a good instructor for stats. All she did was read off the powerpoints. The exams were really difficult if you want to receive a good grade take a different professor. One of my least favorite teachers at Moraine. The book is a waste of money since it does not help you.
Anybody that said this class was hard is lying to you. I got a 106% in stats. McNeal is the sweetest person ever and gives out so much extra credit. Study the homework religiously and you shouldn't get anything lower than a B. Remember, you get what you put in. Loved this class.
Great stats teacher. She really helps her students but you have to do homework. She will explain any problem for you and will work with you individually. Take her class if you have trouble with math. She shows you how stats are used everywhere. All homework is done on the computer ancted to get 100%.
If you're not good at math(like me) TAKE HER. Her class was a little boring but she is super helpful and is willing to help all the time. She also let's you retake tests to get a better grade. Just do the homework and do retakes and it'll be the easiest A.
She is seriously the sweetest, most patient woman ever. Math is my weakest spot and she really worked with me. She will work with you if you are respectful to her, pay attention, come to class, and ask for help. Tests are very tough, and so is the material. I would take her again, honestly. She really wants her students to pass.
I had her for a summer course at MVCC and I was able to take a lot away from her class. She truly cares about each individual passing and gives extra credit opportunities to ensure that you can do well in the class because she said it herself that she knows that this is a difficult subject for many students and she isn't out looking to fail you.
She is an extremely caring individual. She is very helpful when you come to her with problems. She said statistics is a hard subject, she wants her students to pass. As a student you have to put in the work to get the results.
She talked so slow and over complicated everything. The textbook was overpriced and you only need the MathXl sheet, not the textbook. We only used it a few times.
Mrs. Mcneal was an ok teacher. She is caring and will try to help you in anyway she can. She mostly reads off of the powerpoints. I couldn't get the concept of the material clearly. She does do problems on the board and goes over each chapter test. But sometimes the class would get boring.
The class was okay there was lots of homework on math xl but you have a good amount of time to complete it! She reviews before the test & goes over the tests as well which is great! Towards the end of the semester she gives extra credit! Overall she's a good professor but the class can get boring
Professor McNeal is so sweet and really wants everyone to succeed in class. She is very good at explaining the powerpoint notes and goes over any questions you may have, either with the homework or the lecture notes in class. She gives quizzes only for extra credit which really helps boost your grade. I would 100% take her class again!
She only reads off of powerpoint and flies through the material. She is better off teaching a more advanced statistics class rather than the beginner one. She is a sweet lady but that does not matter if she cannot teach the material well.
The most boring class I've ever had. However, she is a sweet old lady who is very approachable and will help you with anything you're having trouble with. Gives out extra credit quizzes that really boost your grade, and homework is worth 25% of your grade. As long as you're willing to put in some effort, you should get an A or a B.
I had Professor McNeal as a sub while our regular Professor was out for a couple months ill. A great lady, loves what she teaches. Encourages you to ask questions if you don't understand. Caring and fair. Loved her, she made dreadful subject matter easy to swallow. Did I mention I hate Algebra!!! Highly recommend her if you have to take algebra.
Tests are tough but she gives a lot of extra credit. Nice lady but boring lectures. Most people were on their laptops watching YouTube instead of listening. The majority of the class got C's or D's. Not a fun class or teacher by any means, but if you are willing to put in effort, you should be able to pass. Good Luck (you'll need it)!
She is the sweetest lady and really cares about making sure you learn the material. I highly recommend taking her because if you actually pay attention in class, you won't have to study so much on your own and you should be able to get a passing grade no problem.
She wants everyone to pass the class and cares about everyone in the class. She gives a lot of extra credit so as long as you study for those extra credit quizzes it will boost up your grade a lot. I failed every test but the first and with the extra credit and homework I still ended the class with a B. She also grades the homework heavily.
She's really sweet and actually wants you to pass. It's a difficult class in general but if you're not a visual learner such as just looking at power points then don't take the class. Basically, the only hands-on things you do are the online homework and that's a huge part of your grade. 4 tests and quizzes are extra credit
There is abundant of my statlab homework and it counts for a great portion of your grade so it's important to be on top of it. There are only 4 exams plus the final, studying is a must or you wont pass. She offers many mini quiz's which allow you to bring up your grade, and if you do better on the final she'll drop the lowest test score.
she's a nice lady but as a profesor, I would say be ready to teach yourself by going to tutoring or getting any other sort of help. she just reads the power points and passes out the packet of notes.
Really sweet lady, but makes u work for your grades. U need to get lot of help from math tutoring or any other sort of help if youre not a math person.
Very sweet&kind but stinks at teaching college algebra. She is a great statistics teacher i hear but do not take her for MTH141. She uses the pearson powerpoints&doesnt explain things well in class. I only got my grade because i spent everyday in the tutoring center. again wonderful person but not so wonderful 141 teacher. Access code required
She was okay, she is sweet, but I didn't really understand much from her. Skipping classes matters.
She nice and all. Sometimes she gets annoyed if you don't understand something that she explained very vaguely. Don't get me wrong I took it for summer and it was very fast pace. She very fast with lectures and doesn't like to stop if you're confused. If word problems are your struggle in math don't take it over the summer.
Professor McNeal is one of the sweetest professors I've ever met, but she isn't the best teacher. She gives you packets on the notes and just reads off of them. She also seems to get annoyed whenever students ask her to explain the material better. I wouldn't recommend her if you aren't the best at math.
Good person, but bad at teaching statistics. The only reason I passed was because I spent hours teaching myself how to do the homework. Gave anyone who asked questions during class a glare.
Professor McNeal was not a good teacher. She would read powerpoint slides for the entire class period. The homework is nothing like the exams, meaning you need to teach yourself. Be prepared for visiting the tutoring center if you take her. She also grades participation, tardies, and attendance and it will impact your grade!
Mrs. McNeal is the sweetest lady with a cheeky parrot for a pet. I can only assume this is how it is in actual face-to-face classes, but she only reads from the power points. Be prepared to learn the material yourself, but otherwise she is a good teacher but she could be better. Also she doesn't answer emails.
Lots of homework, but no final. You can do the homework over until you get 100% and homework is worth most of your grade. She will help you with the problems too. I have math anxiety, but this was the perfect class because I could redo my mistakes on the homework and get full credit. Use MyLab and e-text book.
Karen does not care for her students. She refused to show her work whenever asked which defeats the purpose of a mathematics professor entirely. She made all of us feel stupid for asking questions as if it was not her job to provide the answers. Shes easily angered by any questions. In short, do NOT take any of Karens classes.
Uses MyLab and allows you to redo homework until you get 100%. Electronic textbook. Answers e-mail even on weekends. There are no attendance requirements for on-line classes so don't believe other reviews. On-line so you need to go over videos, powerpoints, and textbook yourself and keepup the schedule. It is fair. She will have conferences
Homework can be done over until you get 100. It is worth about half your grade. She will have conferences with you if you ask to work the homework or go over the online material - even on weekends. Quick to answer e-mail requests. I really learned a lot of practical statistics. I got an A but had to work for it.
Karen teaches the college class like its an elementary class and dulls her class to sleep which makes it very hard to learn. Takes days to go over one section of an lesson. Class isnt hard at all but her teaching styles make it hard to learn. Highly does not recommend taking any of her classes.
Probably one of the wort teachers Ive ever had. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! (even if its your only option) She can't teach and she teaches herself as she teaches the class, whenever you ask her a question she looks at you like your dumb, almost everyone in my class nearly failed and literarily everyone dropped the class expect maybe 5 people.
If you have to option, do not take her class. Whenever I would ask her a question she would embarrass me in front of the class and would blame me and make me feel bad. I ended up teaching myself the material. She assigns lots of online homework and takes the whole class period going over the material. Do yourself a favor and take someone else.
pls don't take this class lightly cus is so hard and the teacher never helps because everything is graded by a computer and the worst part is the quizzes! they can drop ur grade down to the ground and are so hard with a time limit and no tries. be ready to sell ur soul for the weekly homework because they get so much harder.
Draining class. The homework was a lot and it was hard. I spent almost every day in the tutoring center. The nice thing is that you get to redo homework until you get a 100 and tests aren't proctored, but they're hard. She will help if you ask for it, but this class was draining. Only take the class if you're naturally good at the subject.
Do not take her class! For the content being at the level of difficulty that it is, she does not explain anything well. And if someone asks a question, she doesn't give a clear explanation. I wound up having to teach myself all the content from this semester because her monotone lectures were impossible to understand or pay attention to.
Her lectures are long and aren't clear.She often circles a point and fails to clarify questions and problems. She wouldn't help round my grade at one point because "I didn't deserve it",which I understand however she always says this class is very hard.But hw is 50% of the grade but it's super long and you HAVE to stay on top of it! don't take this
Do your homework and you will get a good grade. She lets you do it until you get it right. Students who don't like her were those who didn't do the homework and then did badly on the tests. She is very caring
Lots of extra points. Do the homework. She will spend lots of time helping you if you ask for help. I got private help every week and ended up with a great grade. You can do the homework until you get 100% on it. There is a lot of homework but she says you learn math by doing math.
she'd almost always mis put things in the calculator and wonder why she got the answer wrong. lectures are long and not helpful at all. only went through slides during class, would rarely actually solve problems. gives out SO much homework on a website i never heard of, having to pay 80 dollars to get in... you have to teach yourself everything
Cares about students and will help you if asked. Gives extra credit quizzes. Hard tests. Knows statistics. Do the homework. You can correct any homework problem for full credit
She was sweet but not a good teacher. She knows the subject and will lecture but does not give worksheets in class that would actually help me retain the information I learned. MyLabs take up 50% of grade, so that helped a lot. However, I did not learn much. Homework was different than tests.
Homework is a big part of your grade so if you have trouble with tests you can do well on the homework to get a good grade. She will spend lots of extra time with you if you come for help. You can do the homework over until you get it right.
She constantly makes mistakes. Students literally have to correct her on a daily basis. Her "feedback" is rarely ever feedback. Most of the time, it's just "we went over it on the slides, it should be on there". Half the time she'll give practice before an exam. Take literally anyone else.
Knows statistics. Homework counts a lot so if you have trouble with tests, you can still get a good grade by doing the homework. She lets you redo the homework until you get it correct. She gives you all the lecture notes. She cares a lot about her students and will help you outside of class if you just ask.
She gives out several packets and just reads off of those during lectures. Made our class feel humiliated while presenting projects and generally was visibly annoyed by any questions. She's nice but not an effective teacher. You'll have to teach yourself the material but thankfully the textbook has answers to guide you in the right direction.
The only good thing is that homework is worth more than the tests. If you already know stats, you will be fine but if you don't, you will fail. Her feedback is not helpful, and she seems annoyed by any question asked. She just reads off the slides and does not actually teach how to do the work. You will end up teaching yourself everything.
