She is a sorry excuse for a teacher, come on schoolcraft get rid of her. She grades SUPER hard, will never give you full credit on anything even though all of the work and right answers are there. She is far too concerned with getting through what the syllabus says rather than teaching the class. She is very RUDE and has hurt many students feelings

Doesn't explain things well. Often corrects her own work. Will write a solution on the board only to erase it because she did it wrong. Tests are hard and often include subjects not covered in class. Offers extra credit but only very little (2pts-5pts) Rarely gives partial credit on tests, quizzes, and homework. Prepare to teach yourself everything

Horrible. The teacher shouldn't be the one who's constantly having to be corrected over the work they're doing. She's not helpful, and very confusing. One day she will show you a way she wants you to solve the problem and then tell you that was the wrong way. She mumbles too much and has no idea how to use the equipment in her class room either

Lots of work (I did 23 hours of HW for each class), but if you do it all it should be an easy A. She does short lectures in class (30 min), and the rest is group work. Finish early and you can leave early. She will check your work VERY thoroughly. Tests are straight forward, 50% questions taken word for word from the reviews.

Nice lady, but she goes through material too quickly and does not explain in great detail. Homework isn't worth very many points so your grade depends solely on your test scores. Extra credit is rarely offered, and if it is, its very hard to get. I had a 4.0 in math last semester, now I may fail this course. Don't take Anderson for your stats class

Professor Anderson is the worst professor at Schoolcraft College! Every week she had mistakes in her class that would grade correct answers as wrong.

Professor Anderson was great as far as math professors go. As long as you showed up and did the work, the class material was not difficult at all. She offers extra credit on every test which is usually just given, as well as extra credit after each homework unit and practice test. Stats could not be made easier.

The worst professor I've encountered! Didn't answer emails asking for help, so I had to go find outside resources to get help when I needed it. Requires work to be shown on all tests, but puts a very strict (and short) time limit on them to the point that unless you rush, you will not finish, so there is no time to go back & check your work.

Calculates problems by hand in class, but makes you use calculator functions not shown in class on exam day. Will answer a different question if asked how to do something. Will not slow down if asked. 70% of the class is exams, but lots of extra credit is given. will become cranky at times. Study group chat is a must for this professor.
