fair grader, reasonable difficulty, honestly much better than any other precal profs at blinn. Do the hw and quizzes and reviews and youll pass. she'll say this a lot but the quizzes are very very similar to the tests so do those and you'll be just fine.

Prof Switzer is one of the best math teachers Ive had. She is really good at explaining stuff and if you are still confused, she will help however she can in office hours. The homework is no more than any other class, and it is helpful in preparing for exams. Basically just show up, pay attention, and do the work and you should be fine.

No extra credit but hardly needed. The course packet helps A LOT. Her tests are based off of everything learned in class. She gives feedback in class about what you did wrong on quizzes and homework problems. Do the reviews and homeworks and youre grade should be well above passing.

Prof. Switzer did a great job transitioning the class online during COVID-19 and her teaching style is very simple, straight to the point. She answered all my questions and provided plenty of office hours. She made calculus easy to understand, I learned a lot, and she's the best calculus teacher I've had at Blinn!

Switzer was a great professor! I'm horrible at math and don't like it, but I really enjoyed her class. She made office hours really fun and was very patient with me. And she continued to answer our questions in online office hours after COVID happened. She did a great job transitioning to online. Reviews were just like the tests, very helpful!

This prof is pretty good, she can be a real stickler sometimes but for the most part not too bad. Go to her office hours and ask what might be on the test and she will hook you up greatly. I had her during quarantine so I only was face-to-face half the semester but she is a good professor that wants you to do well in the class

Theres homework every section but it only helps you. You have to work for your grade in this class just like any other class. Switching online during COVID sucked but she made life so much easier. She really cares about her students and always made herself available to help in any way that she could. Plus shes hilarious, that was an added bonus.

Take this professor!! She made understanding math so easy. You do have homework and quizzes but they prepare you for the test SO well. She is so helpful and really does care. Notes are never longer than an hour and once your done your homeworks and quizzes will be so easy. She always answers emails fast and will work out any problem you struggle

She was awesome in my opinion, extremely helpful, and you can tell she really wants to see her students succeed. She was also very willing to help outside of class and her office hours were very good and informative. I would definitely take another class with Prof. Switzer.

Professor Switzer is a great option for taking Calculus online. She is very understanding and will help you with any questions you may have in her class. Attendance is not mandatory but has its perks, she will help you with questions that will be on the upcoming exams. One downside is that she grades exam work very strict.

Wonderful teacher always there to help no matter what. I was one of two people that went to the non mandatory online classes and she always showed up and even stayed late to help because she cared and made sure everyone understood everything.

Enjoyed putting as much work into this class as I had to. Since I was already familiar with most of the material being taught it was nice not having to show up to class. I understand why a lot of my classmates disliked her methods so I recommend her if you're just here for the credit and find math comes relatively easy.

If you watch her lecture videos, go to class and ask questions, youll make the grade you want. Just show up, do the work, put in a little effort and youll be fine.

She was a wonderful teacher! I made C's in all my high school math classes but made a A+ in her calculus class. She is able to teach subjects several different ways and has no problem doing problems from the homework or quizzes. If you put in the work, she will do everything she can to make you succeed.

She was a great professor er! She was very helpful on the test reviews to prepare for the tests! Also her lectures were amazing, i really learned how to do it! She knows what she is doing!

Switzer provides a note packet at the beginning of the course ($20) which helped me with note taking. She is very quick and to the point. The questions on the notes/quizzes/reviews are going to be exact if not similar to what's on exams, be sure to study how she solves problems because she grades exams based on if you did the same process.

Excellent choice for math prof. Shes fast but clear and concise. Lots of strategies she teaches is all you need to know. Basically barney styles what comes off as intimidating math. I would continue to take her for upper level math classes but blinn fails to ever keep my schedule the same.

She was an amazing teacher who made her lectures very clear. She would have review days right before major exams, and they would be the exact questions on the exam just with different numbers. Very easy if you apply yourself and pay attention.

Professor Switzer was by far the best math teacher I have ever had. She can come off as very harsh, but study the material she gives you and you're guaranteed to do good. Most students don't like her because she can be very blunt, but she teaches the material very well and prepares you super well for all tests.

Professor Switzer is very clear with the lessons and how she wants her classroom run. She made the class more simple than expected. If you don't finish your work on time you should not take this class, she does not take any excuses for late work but the work load isn't bad.

Prof Switzer is absolutely amazing. Lectures are watched at home, however, they can be tedious. She is a very visual teacher and teaches shortcuts to problems. Practice quizzes are done every single class with a group. Exams are exactly like the practice quizzes with different numbers. Made a 100 on the final. BEST MATH PROFESSOR!!!

I had her for math 1324 as a 16-week, and loved having her! Although she isn't super relational on a personal level, she wants the best for all of her students. It isn't uncomfortable asking her questions, especially during quizzes which are almost all open note, and can be done with a partner. The final was super easy and replaced my lowest test.

Honestly a good professor, but probably not everyone's style. She has all her lectures recorded and posts them each week with guided notes to go with them. Class consists of 2-3 "quizzes" that you work through until you get a 100 and then you can leave, usually 1-2 hours early. She reviews for well tests but does grade hard on open response.

Overall great professor and teaches in a way that makes sense to math-friendly people and math-haters. Lots of independent studying, you have to show up to class to take the quizzes and do the assigned videos/homework to understand the course. Side note: STUDY THE QUIZZES!! Overall would take her course again!

The online lectures are a life saver because its great to go back and look at them.

I had her for my first year of college and if you're a math person then you're gonna love her. She teaches very CLEARLY. If you have a question or confuse about something GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS! She's very traditional when doing math and gives tips on understanding the concept. DONT MISS ANY LECTURES! She has set schedule for when hw and quiz due.

I am in the middle, She is a great teacher I learned so much in her lectures. Her homework is a bit much but it's GOOD practice. Her exam reviews help so much, basically exam questions with different numbers. The only annoying thing is how strict she is with grades on exams. But definitely a 5/5 teacher, Not an easy A prof but you WILL learn.

All of the notes are done on your own time, but you get to complete quizes with a group and you do them until you get a 100%. Such an easy class 10/10 recommend!

Katie Switzer was the best Calculus professor that I have had at Blinn College. She really makes sure that the students understand the material being taught. During exam review days, she went over what questions would be on the test but with different numbers. The exams were just like the review she created for us.

Bland person but an amazing professor. Very picky w grading. Ex: got a 78 on the 1st exam bc I was not showing every step, despite all answers being right! Learned from that and got As on all other exams by just showing every step, gets kinda annoying. Her reviews are literally the exam problems w diff numbers, memorize how to do every problem.

literally the best math prof i've had, made calc 3 super easy to understand. gives quizzes in class, so you need to be present, but they are super easy and open note. best test reviews without a doubt, and hw is pretty standard on pearson. still has lectures uploaded on ecampus so you look back if you miss smthn during lecture. would 100% recommend

You watch lectures and take notes prior to class. Then you take quizzes in class and she lets you do them till you get a 100. If you're not willing to put in the work to watch the lectures before class- this isn't for you. Mrs. Switzer has amazing lecture videos going to lengths to explain the reasoning behind everything she does. 10/10 recommend.

You watch lecture videos on your own time then class time is used to complete quizzes that are open note, with a group and you do it till you make a 100%. GO OVER THE QUIZZES BEFORE THE EXAM!!! Everything on the exam will be on the quizzes. I took this as an 8 week course, as long as you go to class and stay on top you'll do good. Take her!!!

BEST 1324 PROF! Id ignore these bad ratings bc ive never made an A+ in math or understood it in my life before this. In class you complete open note quizzes and you get to do them until you get a 100%. The test is exactly like the quizzes you work on in class so as long as you study those before exams youll be fine. TAKE HER!

The class is formatted to help you earn an A. Just watch the YouTube videos sent by the teacher.

Great professor! Quizzes were just like the tests. Watch her videos outside of class and all the quizzes taken in class are open note. Her whole teaching style is set up to give you an A in the class

Ms. Switzer was a a great teacher. She does a flipped class instead so that you dont have to sit in a classroom for 3 hour periods. I struggled because I bombed one test and the tests are 60% of the grade. But as long as you watch the videos on your own and do homework you will have no problem.

She was honestly a great teacher. All notes and work is done outside of class and you take group quizzes every class. If you have the time to take this class I so recommend it. Overall it prob 2-3 hours outside of class a week and less than an hour of class. You can get a 100 on all quizzes and homework. Tests are relatively easy if you study.

Very nice professor. The way her class is set up is perfect. You take notes/do homework outside of class, and take quizzes (free 100s) and tests during class. Very fast pace, but very easy.

I don't like math but proffesor switzer made this class enjoyable. You need to attend every class to take quizzes and she clearly lays out what is due.

Professor Switzer clearly cares about her students, she posts all of the unit lectures online so you can go through them at your own pace then gives in class quizzes. She gives a couple easy bonus questions for each test and the quizzes are a huge help for test review. You do get out what you put into it and you can't skip days and expect an A.

Amazing professor. The lectures were online but often quick to complete. Attendance is mandatory, but all the "quizzes" given are done in groups (free 100s) and are exactly like the tests, making the tests incredibly easy. I struggle in math, but she has set up this class for your success. Not a stressful class.

Pretty easy class. She gave us video lecture notes to do at home and then we would take group quizzes in class so it was always an easy 100. and while she gives 0s if you miss class assignments, she drops the lowest 2 quiz grades. and as long as you understand the class quizzes you'll do well on the exams. the 3 hr class becomes like an hr class.

Don't listen to the bad comments about her. Ms. Switzer, though having stubborn grading applications, is a good teacher that is clear on the expectations. The bad comments are from slackers who don't take her class seriously. If you try and do what she asks you will 100% get an A.

Professor Switzer is very kind and caring. Lectures are done outside of class and group quizzes are done inside of class. These quizzes aren't turned in until you receive a 100%. She is very helpful and gives you so many opportunities to succeed. I have little background knowledge on algebra and calc and i learned so much in her classes.

Switzer was great. For 1324, all the lectures are pre-recorded. Print the guided notes, watch the lectures, submit the easy My Math Lab homework, then attend class and use your notes on "quizzes." These quizzes are open note, and you work with a group; you literally can't leave class until you have a 100. Exams are closed note, study the quizzes.

Not a bad prof, just different teaching style. She will help you if you ask for it. Don't get me wrong, the online videos are super annoying and repetitive. but just put them in 1.5x speed. All the bad reviews for this class are chumps who didn't study and grind. Your grade reflects how hard you work in this class. Not hard just requires effort.

I had her for an 8 week class. Her class was flipped so we would watch the lecture videos and then do group quizzes in class. The flipped classroom helped me understand the concepts by slowing video segments down. The homework is challenging but the tests are based on it but simplified. There is extra credit on every test besides the final.
