Mrs. Engelen is a really great teacher. She takes the time to make sure students have the concepts down. She keeps the class upbeat and is very friendly on her own. Semester has 3 tests and a final, and the homework for the sections is due at each test. She doesn't take any crap and the grading on assignments is fair. Her class is the best.

I am not a math person whatsoever and Prof. Engelen came recommended by many students. As long as you do your assignments you will pass. Tests are not hard nor easy but that's because I've never been great at math. She gives learning guides which she does in class. After these are complete you have your tests. Easy to talk to. Provides extra credit

Professor Engelen was amazing, I took her for the fall 2021 semester and I'm glad I did. She explains everything very clearly and if you don't understand she will gladly give you another example while helping you walk through it. I highly recommend her.

This gal is amazing. She is hilarious and will stop the whole class if one person does not understand a concept. Her lectures are just going through stat problems "Learning Guides". She guides you through and once done there is a review packet you do by yourself and then a test. extra credit is offered if you go to tutoring and participate in class

If you are a lecture+note learner, PICK SOMEONE ELSE! If you are unable to teach yourself content, you will not do well in this class. She is very caring and helpful but class time consists of doing the work for you, literally showing you the work and answers. I found myself struggling because I dont learn well by copying down everything.

I took Engelen a year ago for Statistics and this is the reason I chose her for Trig. I failed Trig the first time and this time I passed with her. She makes it easier on her students by giving out formula and work sheets. I wish she taught every math subject at AVC because she makes it so much easier to learn. This semester was my last with her :(

This is the first time I started to kind of understand math. Please take advantage of the opporunties she gives you in the beginning of semester. She allows you to recieve lots of extra credit, which will help your grade in the long wrong. You need to make time outside of class to finish homework, study and recieve extra credit. Will help you a lot

Took for both 135 and 140, awesome professor! Goes slow in teaching and uses learning guides as walkthroughs often. Tests are fairly easy, and some are taken from home. Keep all study material because it'll help you later on!

Professor Engelen is the best math professor I have taken at this college. Participation matters because we go over learning guides in class and she makes sure everyone is on the same page. I feel like I learned more than I did with my previous professors. I highly suggest taking her, she's the best math professor for this class!

Professor Engelen is a sweet soul and you can tell she has a passion for the subject. I have never ever been good at math but her teaching style is amazing and this is the most confident i have ever felt with math!! Be aware if you miss one class you will fall behind but she records each session and puts them up in case you do! Highly recommend.

As a first time student here I thought math was going to be more difficult than high school but she made it so easy. She explains everything in detail and while always stop to answer your questions. She gives you extra credit when you do reviews for test and as long as you participate you will be fine. I do recommend that you do the hw asap tho.

Ms. Engelen is one of the best MATH professors!! I highly recommend her because her class is easy. JUST DO UR WORK and PARTICIPATE. Class is long but it's worth it cuz she makes sure that her students know the material. Use the study guide for studying as it's similar to the test! She gives students a break to relax & EXTRA CREDIT!
