The book was the only reason I passed the class.
if you can read the book, then you will pass.....classroom setting is boring
she does teach out of the book but at least she speaks english!!!
she will do anything to help a student pass
Such a great teacher. I highly recommend her!
Wonderful person and teacher
Stats: No doubt, Kari is very helpful, but it seems as if she jumps back and forth between concepts which is at times very confusing. Book isn't worth crap! Overall, Stats sucks but Beaty is ok.
Not all that good of a teacher. She doesn't give good notes and she made us take all of our test in the testing center.
seemed as if beatty was more concerned with teaching how to use a calculator, not with helping the students to understand statistics
What a Bia Bia. Don't take her!!!! She blows!!!!
She is decent won't miss class for anything
DON'T TAKE HER!!!!
Nice but can go into **** mode at times. You have to basically teach yourself the material because she does not teach. Class seems more like a elementary class.
spends all the time you need to help you. Doesn't want anyone who tries to fail. Take her.
It was very agervating for me because she makes you take your test in the testing center ON YOUR OWN TIME!! I had to take days off of work just to drive 30 mins to take a test. She NEVER misses class. He notes are not very helpful. She gets carried away for most of the class talking about absoulty nothing useful. Be prepared to stay the whole class
Did not help me with problems I had. Talk about anything but what we were learning about. TAking our test in the testing center. Very big bain in the bute. And just could not teach, you had to learn it on your own. And the only thing she grades our your test, no extra credit or homework.
All tests in the Testing Center, no partial credit given on working the problems on tests, only one was test was complete muliple choice. Take her only if you are good at algebra already or prepared to spend SEVERAL hours a day doing homework. 2 test were complete fill in the blank, including the last one when a good grade is really needed. RUN!!
Very willling to help students and is very enthusiastic about teaching. She really knows her stuff. I hate math, and she made this class enjoyable.
boring boring boring. everything negative mentioned before is correct. failed class because i couldn't stand paying attention to her. DO NOT take her unless you have 392432843 hours to study
VERY EASY CLASS, DIDN'T LIKE MATH IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT SHE MADE IT SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND! GOT A 100 IN HER CLASS!

Doesn't finish explaining problems. Incredibly boring and uninteresting teacher..... you'd think 30 years of teaching would have helped a little by now ;-)
No Comments
Her class is the MOST boring class I've ever had. The only thing positive I can say is the test are in the testing center and there are like 3 days to take it. I can't stay awake in there. She takes 20 mins explaining something most can say in 2 words!!!! DO NOT TAKE HER!
i hate this teacher.. she is so boring and useless
boring
She moves pretty fast, but she will take time to help you.
She is so helpful. The class is boring, but its not her job to make it fun. She is a terrific teacher and does what she can to help students pass. Every test given was multiple choice and simple. I stongly recommend her if you want an A. Testing center tests are not a problem. Makes it easier to find time to take it. 3 days to prepare. WONDERFUL!!!
Spoke to the class like students were preschoolers. Condescending at all times. Had difficulty explaining concepts, so most had to ask other students.
I struggled w/ this class. She's big on Attendance & tardiness - I would not recommend her to working adults. She was the first instructor that made me feel like I was in 9th grade all over again! I found that when I stayed after class to ask for extra help – she didn’t clear anything up.
THIS TEACHER MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN. VERY BORING.
Had her for both 250/251 Ed teacher transfer program with USC. Take the math at MTC. You'll be glad you did. Smaller classes. Special attention. A breeze!
She's kind of hard when it comes to her tests and since she only grades tests and nothing else its really easy to fall behind if you aren't paying attention. She's big on attendance and will drop you if you over cut. The class is really boring so its hard to pay attention. Shes a cool lady, but I'd only suggest this to someone who can keep up w/ he
Totally annoying lady! She made me feel like a complete idiot and a 4 year old. Who in the world uses shapes to show addition up on the overhead in college! I couldnt stand her
First of all isn't it our job as students to come to class and study the material? After all we pay for a professors expertice not an easy class. She does her job by comming to class, taking attendance and teaching the full time. She is always willing to offer extra help. Very nice person I have taken 4 classes with her.
she sucks. takes up whole class time everyday. explains things over and over again. tests are easy. gives quizzes a lot. teaches on a 3rd grade level. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
Great teacher.
She is a very difficult teacher, and has a difficult time getting her point across.
she is great very helpful and he explains everything very clearly
Terrible teacher! She was a nice lady, and very intrested in the subject, but did a terrible job at actually explaining it...her test were very hard, and she acted like we were in middle school. If you need math explaned to you AVOID this class at all cost!
Great teacher! Cares a great deal about her students! Wants to help those who try. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat!!
This was her hybrid class, you're responsible for learnig on your own but she's willing during class to go over problems with students all the time. Very helpful as far as am concerned.
I had her hybrid class, and she absolutely refuses to go over homework questions saying that "its unnecessary" because other students dont need to go over it. and during class she goes over things that arent even related to the online work. if you can, you should take another teacher.
I have never had to deal with a professor as rude as this woman was to me. I made 99s/100s on all my assignments WITHOUT HER HELP and only went to class because it was mandatory. She singled me out on a daily basis for stupid things that every student was doing (texting, working on homework). Rude and a horrible lecturer. Avoid her.
Shes not the greatest at explaining things well, she will most likely get on your nerves, but she gives GREAT practice test.. which are VERY VERY similar to the real one, so as long as you do all the homework and really know the study guides, easy A+
Probably my least favorite professor, very rude and talks about anything but math. I had her fast-track class, so listening to her for 3 hours was awful. All her work is online including tests. She's very picky and gives quizzes every class. She takes attendance very seriously, so don't skip. Do good on tests, you'll easily pass the class.
What she teahes in class usually doesn't help with the homework. TAKE HER PRACTICE EXAMS THEY ARE THE SAME AS THE REAL TEST. I mean word for word the same. That is all.
I loved Mrs. Beaty! When I had to drop a math class I picked up her statistics class and made an A. You have to pay attention, but its not a difficult course. Make sure you do the practice tests because they look just like the real test. She is very helpful, and explains things in an easy way. I would definitely take her again.
She is an awful professor. She is so self-centered and lectures about herself the entire time. I took her EDU 230 class and she did not know what she was talking about. She treats you as if you are 4 years old. A little respect from her would be nice.I taught myself the information about schools in community. I do not recommend taking her classes.
Beaty was very nice, but could not seem to teach about the actual subject and instead just rambled about random stuff, kind of made going to the class pointless. For stat which i took the in summer the practice tests are WORD FOR WORD to the online tests so just study the practice tests and you will do fine. Attendance is taken very seriously.
I just recently took her class and it was definitely the hardest math class I've taken. During her lectures she likes to talk a lot about things that aren't relevant to the material. Definitely do the homework in mystatlab if you're not a great test taker. Tests were difficult because I felt she just didn't teach the material thoroughly enough.
THIS IS THE WORST TEACHER AT MIDLANDS TECH. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS, PERIOD. Besides being one of the rudest teachers I've ever had, she's terrible at communication, staying organized and focused on the lecture. Will not excuse any absence. Homework is more challenging than the tests but her grading will make you fail for the simplest mistake.
you use Pearson math lab online, which isn't bad. she gives little homework but its easy and will keep your grade up because you can make a 100 on the homework. her test are easy if you study. rambles alot though and will not stay on track. and im not talking about just a little bit.
Beaty is a sweet lady and is willing to help students but her class is tough. Her lectures arent really helpful because she constantly goes off topic. Her tests are hard and nothing like the practice almost as if she is trying to trick you. Honestly wouldnt take again but shes willing to tutor during office hours and Fridays
HORRIBLE TEACHER!!! Goes off topic does not explain anything clearly. Belittles students and makes class much harder then it should be. MySTAT lab is completely different then whats learned in class.
DO NOT TAKE HER. Continuously goes off topic, MyStatLab homework is nothing like whats taught in class. She belittles students when they ask questions. It's hard to follow the lecture because she won't stop rambling about the same topic. The class could've been taught in a month and a half if it wasn't for her rambling. Don't take her.
I will never take this teacher again. She seems sweet but she can be very rude. Pop quizzes almost every week or 2 & tests are 20 questions. HW is nothing like learned in class definitely do the homework or else you will fail. She never stays on topic which makes it harder to learn. This is easy material but she makes it hard to understand.
Karin Beaty comes across as a really sweet woman while she's teaching. However, if you ask her a question, she will look at you like you're mentally challenged. I've witnessed her belittling a student in front of the class. You MUST complete the assignments in MyStatLab to pass. The hw doesn't really prepare you for tests. PAY ATTENTION IN LECTURE!
She seems like a nice lady, but she is a little two faced. She doesn't like to answer questions. She rushes through everything and won't even look at you when she teaches. The online math program taught me everything I needed to know for the class. Half the class was failing, but she never changed her teaching. Not a fan.
If you can't teach yourself the material don't take her
Dont take this professor if you cant teach yourself. She is easily frustrated by questions, and often degrades students who ask questions. She has been difficult to work regarding disability. she wont allow you to have a drink even water, unless youre pregnant. Shes the worst person/teacher Ive ever had the displeasure of working with.
The lectures are always extremely long and rarely make sense.
Karin tells you to ask questions, but when you do, she looks at you like you're stupid and then barely answers the question. DO NOT take this class if you can't teach yourself, because she will not accommodate different learning styles.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU CANNOT TEACH YOURSELF!!!
Seems to be a nice lady, but not a good teacher. Easily annoyed. HARSH grader, and crazy attitude. Encourages dropping the course. I did enjoy MyMathLab because it was so straightforward and I knew what to expect for tests/quizzes, however, had it not been for COVID-19 it wouldnt have been utilized near as much. WOULD NOT take again.
She doesnt cut you ANY slack!!!! I made a 69 this lady didnt offer extra credit or ANYTHING! If you forget to round its wrong nope not even half of credit. Have to retake it because I need it to transfer me out!! Yes, I made a 69!!! Doesnt leave the homework assignments open throughout the semester like some others do. Very harsh grader RUN
I decided to withdraw because this teacher made me feel like there was no hope to succeed. She encouraged dropping the class and said that we had to do it ourselves when I know a teacher that dropped their student themselves. College math is hard but she made it harder. I could barely take notes while I was trying.
Don't take her class if you can't self-taught. She will make everything becomes more complicated. Her tests are mostly similar to the practice test on MyMathLab.
Does not actually teach, just explains how to do it, works out very few problems. If your not good at math or can not teach your self do not take her.
Dont take this class if youre not ready to act like youre an actual college student. Easy class if you read directions and take notes, just dont slack off due to the fact that its a virtual course.
She moves entirely too fast and is very critical and degrading if you don't understand your work. If you ask for help, she says its review and you should know it already and refers you to tutor dot com. Honestly, I hope to never have to take her class again.
Took her virtual class. It was fairly easy, she did really well with explaining how to do problems. Tests for online classes come straight from the homework and she is flexible if you have technology issues. Also posts the zoom recordings online in case you miss the class.
The professor is not hard, the subject is. I had a hard time with this, even though I am good at other maths. However, the thing that helped me the most was to do ALL the homework twice. I did it once when it was due and then again right before the test. That was how I got an A on almost all the tests.
This class was extremely difficult and thought mrs. Beaty herself was very sweet as a person, as a teacher she was awful. I had to teach myself everything throughout the entire semester through khan academy and the textbook. Be prepared for A LOT of homework and to teach yourself the math.
Doesn't give helpful feedback. Slightly rude at times. Her test are easier than the online quizzes. The final exam is given online so don't expect that to look like her handwritten paper test. No extra credit opportunities so stay on top of your work. Hopefully she'll retire soon, you can tell she doesn't want to teach anymore.
I just think that she is ready to retire. She doesn't really teach
She doesn't really teach and talks a lot. Can be rude. I mean if your good with stats and can tech yourself then take her.
worst teacher ive ever had
Took this via Virtual class. She lectures so much but seems to just go on and. Once you get behind you are out of luck and if you get lost and don't catch up you might as well drop the class. She gives no grace when it comes to assignments and makes it hard if you don't just eat sleep and breathe prob and stats.
Horrible. Does not teach. You can not get behind at all in this class because she shows no grace. She can also be very rude when you don't understand or disagree with her opinion. I asked her a question about our quiz and she told me if I didn't understand this I was never going to be able to pass praxis of become a junior at usc.
With a calculator, 90% of this class is simple, but you have to be there to learn that. She will drill it into you how to use the calculator, and other than that there are very few formulas to memorize. If you miss a class, it is possible to teach yourself the calculator method, just find it on youtube. Very doable.
I felt that I could not go to her for help because I did not want to be ridiculed for asking a question. When we asked if she had a study guide or something to help us with the final, she told us if we knew the material we wouldn't need one anyways. Me and several other students found this to be incredibly rude and disrespectful.
Yikes. Goes off on random tangents all the time. Talks in circles. Nice person I think, but not a good teacher. "Ask questions!" but then gets frustrated when you do and still don't understand. I think she is just ready to retire. No study guide/formula card for final exam, which is cumulative. DO THE MYSTATLAB WORK, it will teach you.
i'm currently sitting in my exam. why am i not taking my exam? because she's late by 30 minutes after being extremely condescending about us not being late for the exam, accounting for traffic, get here early if we need to. and she's stuck in traffic. this is a recurring theme with her class, along with her random tangents that are irrelevant lol
This is THE WORST MATH PROFESSOR AT MIDLANDS TECHNICAL COLLEGE. DO NOT PICK HER CLASS. She doesn't teach how to do the material, the material is unorganized and all over the place, I'm sitting here studying for a probability and statistics test. there's no study guide or material to go over. I have LITERALLY NOTHING to go off of.
She is a terrible teacher. She is not willing to help student and often talks down to them. I would not recommend her to anyone.
Terrible. She would spend all of the class going over homework or tests and then briefly go over the lesson in the remaining 10 minutes of class. She doesn't actually teach the material, she just talks about it and expects the students to teach themselves. Beaty is unorganized and often makes mistakes. NEVER AGAIN!
On my first day she does a riddle to which I couldn't complete, she spent the rest of the class DEGRADING me, calling me out, and saying things like "those who didn't get the riddle will likely fail* I was the only one who didn't get it.This has continued for weeks ,most incompetent teacher ever. I could go on.STAY AWAY FROM HER. SHE SUCKS SO BAD.
She has to be the most unorganized teacher I have ever had. She can not stay on task and makes multiple mistakes. Beware asking questions because she will speak down to you. She will not teach you because she doesn't know how even though she claims it to be her "passion." I am disappointed in MTC for allowing her to teach for so long.
I know the first year in college is supposed to be hard, but I feel as though this professor made it harder for me and my classmates. She never gave us any extra credit, only saying the homework was basically extra credit. You couldn't ask her a question because whenever you did she would shoot you down immediately with a rude response.
