She is a awesome teacher. She is not hard at all. She really don't require homework at all but she still reviews it if you have any questions. She teaches a new section everyday so i will advise you to come to class but other than that she cool. She does give 4 test and that is 25% of your grade but you will pass if you come to class.

This professor is amazing! She is super organized! You use a program called MyLab. The downfall of this is you have to pay extra... However it's worth it! Math is a weak area for me, but if you take it with the professor you'll do great! This course consists of 4 tests 80% in total of your grade and homework that is 20% of your grade.

Taking for calculus; not an easy class, due to the class mainly being based on tests. Also, no extra credit and no grades dropped. She is a nice teacher and is willing to explain, but the tests tend to be somewhat different (and more difficult) than the homework. Also, homework is not graded and no review sheets are given, but problems are reviewed

Professor Thomasson is an alright math teacher for this class. You will need to get math lab for this is course and beware, mathlab can get quite annoying sometimes. Make sure to set ur test date appointment on time and have a notecard to use on the test. Also, you can't make up a test unless u haven't taken it yet. Overall, it's an easy course.

Took this class online thinking she'd be the one teaching it. You learn through MML , its good for independent workers and prefer working on their own time. The videos are old and their teaching style is horrible. I suggest you to learn from other sources to break down problems. I dont regret taking this class, but I really worked for that A.

The material is all in my math lab, which is fine, but a lot of the teaching styles are outdated and the things you learn throughout the lessons and on the homework are definitely not similar to the exams. Exams are proctored IN PERSON and times weren't convenient for someone who works full time

When I planned on taking this course I thought that the professor would be teaching but instead, she taught the through a typed-out transcript. It wasn't helpful. The way she "taught" and the MML videos were extremely different. My class was failing so badly that a 60% was considered a C+.

Kathryn Thomasson was a great professor, she gave homework which was part of your grade, also gave a non-graded and practice test that was very similar to the test. Her lecture where simple understand. She has a passion in teaching mathematics and made tri/precal very simple to get. I definitely recommend her but remember to always study.

I took this class online and we used mymathlab for everything. I personally liked using it because of the examples it provided on the homework and practice tests. The exams are very similar to the practice tests and she lets you use a notecard on the exams. She also gives links to youtube videos and power points that are helpful.

For her online College Algebra class, you are given homework through MyMathLab. Your final grade for this course is determined based on your MyMathLab final grade. Tests are 80% (I had 4 tests) and homework was 20% (about 5/6 lesson per unit). You have to take in person exams and make sure you are prepared since its weighted heavily. Super nice!!!

Prof. Thomasson is an amazing professor. EVERYTHING is on My Math Lab. Tests are in person at a testing center, but she gives extra credit at the end of the semester. If you're ending with a high B, she'll bump it to an A. I took her express A course, and it was very simple.

Exams are taken in person but you are allowed one notecard which is plenty. Most of the questions were almost the same questions as the practice tests. There was a bunch of homework due at the same time but that was due to the fact it was an accelerated course. Highly recommend she wants what is best for her students.

This teacher will 100% work with you after and outside of class if you have any difficulty. Very nice and easy to talk to. I like her teaching style. If you fail this class it's definitely your fault.

Best math teacher there is. I wish I could take her for all the math classes I need. There is quite the homework but she's the best. She explains everything so nicely and takes her time to help others when you are stuck.

I loved the way she explained everything. For every section covered, she would give the necessary notes like formulas and such, and then the rest of the class time was spent doing exercises to get familiar with the subject. There are only 4 tests, no mid-term and no final.

Probably the best professor I've had at PBSC so far. Her lectures are perfectly structured- notes at the beginning of class, followed by practice problems- and the tests were not trying to trick you. If you do the homework, you'll do well on every test (and her Canvas is very organized). If you need this class, she's the perfect professor.

I took Professor Thomasson for trigonometry and hands down the best professor I've had at PBSC. She values her connections with her students and works with them until they understand. She does many practice problems for you to understand. She does more practice problems in the classes before exams as well. BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER.

Honestly never felt like I needed to write a review before but this professor was great, I had her for a hybrid class and she teaches really well. Hw was through Pearson but the due dates are really reasonable, I did have issues with Pearson but she was really caring about the ordeal until it was resolved. Definitely recommend, she's super cool.

Gives you the pearson portal to do homework and tests and THAT'S IT. NO LECTURES. NO LEARNING ANYTHING. I spent the whole semester using the SLC tutors to teach me and be my professor because there was NO OTHER WAY TO LEARN. I got an A because of the great tutors at the SLC they were my real professors. She is a JOKE.
