Very good professor. Easy to approach if you need help and always willing to help when asked. Does a study group for those who want and need help on her own time. The homework is easy but its just a lot to work through. Sometimes typos make things slightly difficult to understand. But prof. Kazumi is a wonderful recently new teacher to ivc.
Kuzumi is an excellent teacher. She is very thorough. I enjoyed the class very much. I would recommend this class to anyone that wants to learn algebra.
This was the second time in this class. I received a D from another teacher. Needless to say my confidence was shattered. Mrs Horikawa brought my confidence back up and took the time to help me after class. I went from a D to an A. I can not say enough good things about her!
teaches fast but shes good
Super sweet and always open to help students when needed.
Cant speak highly enough of this adorable lady. she can be alittle scatterbrained but she has the best intentions in mind and only cares to see her students succeed. She truly enjoys teaching and you can tell, shes good. She's really good. Plus she has such a enigmatic energy that you cant help but be in a good mood.
her accent is a bit hard to understand but if u attend class everyday and study well you will pass her class. she is very helpful and nice I can really say she cares about her students and is always willing to help out
Quiz every week, it is based on what you learned the week before. EASY. She moves from chapter to chapter FAST. sometimes 2-3 chap in one class. She email you HW once a week. expect at least over 100 problems every week.. overall it is a easy A if you just do the work.
I really enjoyed Horikawa's class. She is the sweetest lady, cares for her students and is extremely thorough in her lectures. I love that she teaches different ways of solving problems so everyone gets it. Received an A and didn't even do any extra credit, though there was a lot of homework. Most importantly, I learned a lot.
I love her!! She might be hard to understand at times but she is a wonderful teacher who is funny and so kind! Her method of teaching is straight forward and she really wants to see her students succeed. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. From homework, to quiz's and even on her tests. She is always open to ask questions
she is the best
She is the best teacher ever. I've never met someone with such a big heart. She really cares about her students. I took her during summer and the course went really fast, but if you put in the effort you will get a solid A.
She is a sweet lady. I am basing this review off her summer course. With only 8 weeks and 9 chapters to cover, my class fell behind with the fourth week causing Ms. Horriwaka to rush through the already fasted paced course. She wants you to pass and offers a generous amount of EC.I wonder if she would be any different with a longer 16 week course.
I took Math 351 and i found her to hard understand and a heavy grader and even though she is a nice lady I found her class incredibly hard and very hard to follow because of the fast pace and the way she explains things
She is one of my favorite teachers. She truly cares about her students and also has the cutest personality!
Ms. H is very sweet! I went back to get AA after decades. I had no previous algebra and had to take 351. The class goes very quickly. Ms. H went out of her way and had a study group after class which was a lifesaver. She gives lots of homework and extra credit. She definitely got me ready for 353. Go every class do extra credit and you'll get A
Prof. H is too cute! I have to admit, I did have trouble understanding her when it came to her accent at times. She gives you tons of extra credit, and is even pretty lenient when it comes to homework. Make sure you if you miss a class, or are sick, you communicate with her! Overall, she cares about her students success and is super sweet!
As someone who is terrible at math, she makes it easy. she has a thick japanese accent but is understandable, she's very funny but do NOT get on her bad side. Lots of homework, due once a week. extra credit opportunities almost every week. exams are worth a lot of points. she will keep you till the last minute.
Prof Horikawa maybe one the kindest persons ever with great personality, but that doesn't make her a great professor. She buries you with tons of homeworks, She goes so fast and she isn't organized at all. tons of extra credits but at the end you feel like it's not worth it. I regret taking with here
Prof. Horikawa is radiant, kind, and very organized. She is the best professor I've ever had. Although you have lots of homework, you can easily get an A if you attend her class every time and do the homework diligently. You also have a lot of chances to get a ton of extra credit. Very recommended!
She is SOOO sweet and caring about her students! She will print copies and make a book for her students just so they dont buy the book, she will give lots of extra credit ! I would really recommend taking her!
Professor Horikawa is without doubt the best math teacher/professor I have ever had. She CARES about you so much. She is adorable, uplifting, positive, understanding. Lots of extra credit. Clear explanations. Will spend her time in and out side of the class to help you achieve in math. HIGHLY recommend if you struggle with math like me. TAKE HER.
Professor Horikawa is easily the nicest math teacher I have ever had! She cares so much about your progress, and really wants everybody in her class to succeed. She tells hilarious stories and gives LOTS of extra credit! I highly recommend if you struggle with math, like I do. She's made concepts I've found very difficult in the past doable.
A great person with the respect and care for her students that is rarely showcased in most teachers today. Works hard for the student, but expects the same in return with large amounts of extra credit opportunities and feedback. Favorite teacher this semester for sure!
Very caring and nice but hard to understand at times. Gives a lot of extra credit and as long as you show up and get your work done youll be good.
I really recommend this professor, she's gives good advice on how not to fail the class and also she's a good teacher when it comes to math notes.
she gives a lot of homework, I didnt do any of it half way through the class b/c I hate busywork, but once i started, my grade got better its annoying but worth it. she wants you to pass, you dont have to do all her extra credit, its just like homework. tedious. even if youre bad at tests, homework and extra credit builds your grade up by a lot
She is very helpful when trying to teach you the math. She gives a lot of extra credit which helps a lot. Overall, one of the best teachers at IVC.
A great teacher and gives you the opportunity to earn extra credit. Quizzes and exams are based off her class notes so sometimes you will feel that her homework is pointless.
Professor Horikawa is the best professor I've ever had. She's very caring about her students and wants everyone to pass. She gives a ton of extra credit which can make or break your grade. She might teach a little fast. If you don't understand the problem she'll go over it until you do. She gives a lot of homework but it's really beneficial.
Shes a great professor and shes very caring. Really enjoyed her class and her notes are very important because she tends to do the same questions on the quiz or test.
she is really nice , very great professor. Wants all her students to pass.
Shes very caring and shows passion in what she does. Highly recommend
She is a great professor. Take her class!!
Professor Horikawa is very kind. She wants all of her students to do well. That being said, you can't take advantage of her niceness - you really have to do the work. It's quite easy to pass this class as long as you show up and pay attention. She does move slowly sometimes and it can be frustrating. Grading is confusing too. Do your homework!
She was extremely caring and cracked a lot of jokes throughout the semester. Gave a lot of extra credit for quizzes and the midterm. Tons of homework if you take this class over the summer semester, but overall she was amazing and you just need to stay on top of the homework and ask lots of questions if confused
This lady is amazing. She cares about everything. You can get an A if you follow her rules, she is so kind, she has lots of Extra Credit . You can not use cellphone. Be respectful in her class, she has a sense of humor. I took 3 classes with her and Got A+ ,A+,Take your math class with her,she has a great skills to teach math.
By far one of the kindest, sweetest, caring professor I met my WHOLE LIFE. She wants everyone to succeed! All test/quiz are based off lectures and gives TONS of extra credit. Ive been getting Fs Ds and Cs my whole life for Math but right now I have 103% as my overall grade! Do yourself a favor and take her classes!
Professor Horikawa is my favorite math teacher. I never took algebra in high school and needed to learn the old fashion way, using pencil and lots of paper. She makes students hand write the question in blue ink and answer in pencil. She is excellent for math challenged or first timers, she is positive, happy, and genuinly cares.
Moves entirely too fast. Makes a million mechanical efforts a day. Forgets what month or day it is. Completely unorganized, unlike many math teachers. Takes everything personally and will scold you for asking questions. Youll end up having to tune out her teachings to teach yourself later or get a tutor. Choose a different professor.
Great teacher easy to follow along in class. Gives chances for extra credit. Caring and very helpful if we have questions.
She is so helpful and caring , she will surprise you with extra credit to help you with your grade . If you dont understand a problem she will do it all over again just so you can understand it . She is also so understanding on situations and tries to help you as much as she can . This class was very useful ,helped me understand math more clearly.
I have taken, math 353 three times. This is hopefully my last time, but it overall my favorite professor for this subject. She gives positive feedback and looks out for students who struggle. Overall great Professor, who prepare you for math 353, but only if you put in the work too. So do the work, and dont complain. She does a lot for her student
This lady is amazing. She cares for you and she'll give you extra credit so you can get a good grade. She is well organized, and willing to stay with you after class to answer any question. No cellphones allowed. Be respectful in her class, she has a sense of humor. Take your math class with her, she has a great skill.
She was the best and very kind.
Shes the sweetest lady ever, For the first time in a while the math makes sense to me.
Very kind Professor, always smiling loves to teach. Ready to help guide you to the right answers when stuck on any problem. Will give you points for participating. Organization is key. Professor provides class notes, easy note taking. Homework can be on book, or on class notes, easy to complete assignments.
she is a very nice teacher.
Overall great teacher, very well with lectures. If you need help dont hesitate to ask. Will recommend and very nice with everyone.
She is very nice, caring and awesome professor. Her lectures are very helpful and if you are struggling to one chapter she will repeat the problem and explain it to the whole class. Don't be shy to ask her a question because she like it when student ask her. I definitely recommend to take her class. she is very funny and like to tell a story ;)
Horikawa K. Is one the nicest Professor ever. She is nice and talented.
The best professor that Ive ever take. She is super caring and giving a lot of extra credit. If you have any problem, just tell her and you will be amazed.
Kazumi has inspired me to follow my dream of being an engineer. She is so happy and radiates her happiness to the classroom. She makes it very clear that if you are having trouble with something, that its ok to ask questions. This was the most fun class Ive had, I always looked forward to lectures and going to class. Thank you Kazumi.
Professor Horikawa is one of the kindest professors I have met at IVC. she is very understanding and she explains the math concepts very well. She offers many chances of extra credit because she genuinely cares about her students. She always makes my days better because of her attitude and positivity she brings in the classroom. I
First of all, I have always hated math. I've never been good at it. Professor Horikawa literally changed that for me! She is one of the best professors I've ever had. She explains everything so well and she's so sweet and caring as well. She wants YOU to succeed. Overall, she's AMAZING! I cannot stress that enough. Thank you Prof. Horikawa!
Professor Horikawa is my favorite professor at IVC. She is the most caring professor on campus. She can sometimes be a little hard to understand but if you show her that you care about your grade, you will get an A. oh yeah, TONSSSS of extra credit. I cumulated a total of over 50 points extra credit. shes adorable!
I absolutely love Professor Horikawa, she is the best. She is one of the most understanding professors and you can tell she really cares about her students. She offeres a lot of extra credit. I was nervous about taking stats in the summer because I thought it would be super fast-paced but she made it a breeze. Please take her!!
If you're deciding between two professors definitely choose HER! ! 1) Give very helpful study guide before each exam (2 exams, 2 final), the questions in the exam are similar concepts as the study guide. 2) TONS of extra credit (more than 100 points) 3) Do group quiz with the class 4) VERY inspirational and friendly
Prof. Horikawa is an absolute gem! I took her class this summer and the math was not difficult for me. I thought it was going to be difficult but it wasn't. She's super understanding and funny. Plus, she gives lots of extra credit if you're struggling! Take her for Statistics!
I took stats with another professor and barely passed with a D. I was concerned coming into this class but Mrs. Horikawa is super caring. She will pause to explain to anyone who has questions so do not be shy. She will constantly check up on you if you show interest. I took the class online in the summer and learned more than i did in a semester.
Took her online Statistics. I did not pass Stats before, and with Professor Horikawa she makes it possible. Study guides very similar to the tests. Lots of extra credit opportunity. Very understanding and will change due dates. Homework worksheets are posted as group discussions. You dont need to buy a book/ebook as she posts her own note sheets.
Great professor. Im taking her for summer semester so everything is kinda rushed but she is very thorough and understanding. She offers extra credit and exams are similar to homework/reviews. Overall it is a great class. If you show up and do the extra credit, theres no reason to not get an A
By far the best math teacher I have ever enrolled with. She teaches the subject so smoothly and if you show up to class and work hard you will get the grade you deserve. I learned more then I have ever before regarding math in general. Theres also many extra credit opportunities that help your grade in case you need it. Awesome experience!
I took it in the summer, and she makes her own notes so you don't need a textbook. I thought it would be fast paced but she goes through everything with patience. There are 4 tests and final, with 6 quizzes. Just do the homework and exams and put in effort, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. She's very nice, you'll love her!
when I tell you don't miss out on your registration date I actually am saying DON'T MISS OUT! If you want to take math 10(intro to stats)honestly I would recommend professor horikawa over anyone. I am a person who hates math and always got a bad grade in high school, but when I took her class I actually understood something and enjoyed her class.
Very nice, awesome teacher
Professor Horikawa has taught me to love myself and love life, take things in baby steps and not to worry. She has taught me more than just math. Her kindness and inspiration shines from her heart. She is the most lovely professor in the world. May life bless you professor Horikawa <3
The sweetest and most caring professor. Teaches her students how to love themselves while also teaching mathematics. She is a true gem and has made me a happier person
Incredibly kind and caring professor. She genuinely seems to care for all her students and does her best to help them. Offers a lot of extra credit as well to help boost grades. She does expect you to print out a lot of notes for class but they're very easy and the homework is the same. I loved her class and would definitely take her class again.
The best professor!!! She gives many extra credit opportunities. she is super understanding and caring! Her class is very inspirational super fun and easy to understand. And trust me I will never believe I could get an A in a math class but Professor Horikawa made it possible. Just take her class and you won't regret it!!! I love her so much.
this class was the easiest class ive ever taken at ivc. teacher is super kind and inspirational, very caring about her students. gives TONS of extra credit. do the extra credit and homework and youll be fine. took it during summer so there was a new lesson every class, but still very easy to follow. take her!! no regrets.
Professor Horikawa lectures can be a little boring sometimes but they are really clear and easy to understand. She gives a lot of extra credit that will help you boost your grade! Most of her exams are very similar to the review she provides. She also lets you use notes on the exams so as long as you have the formulas written down you're good.
Professor Horikawa is amazing. She is the sweetest lady and she will always be willing to help. She gives really clear lectures and all her assignments are easy to follow. She gives and extra credit project for each semester. Allows a cheating sheet for all her tests and quizzes. And allows 2-3 attempts for all of her quizzes! Best teacher at IVC!
She is an amazing teacher and very kind to all of her students. All I have to say is I would definitely recommend taking this class and if anyone hurts her I will personally fight you.
She is seriously the best professor I've ever had and probably will ever have. She is so caring and patient if you're struggling and she will always make sure to check in to see how you're doing. Her lectures are super easy to follow and she explains each concept thoroughly.
I would suggest you take her. I took her in the summer of 2022 MATH 10 intro to statistics. she gives a lot of extra credits. You will need to prepare well for the exams.
Sweetest and kindest professor I've ever had. Make sure to ask her questions after class if confused. She gives a bunch of extra credit which I highly recommend doing. She's also super funny in a very wholesome way and honestly cares about all her students. Hands down the best man
Prof. Horikawa was an amazing professor. I was going through hardship during my semester and she was nothing but empathetic, understanding, and kind. If we got overwhelmed, she encouraged us to take breaks. She understands that balancing school and life can be difficult, but she did everything in her power to help us achieve our goals.
Professor Horikawa is an outstanding and best Professor I'v ever had. She is super sweet and kind hearted to her students. She wants to help you to succeed in her class. She gives tons, tons of extra credit which helps me to pass this class. Don't hesitate, or think twice, and if you struggle like me, you will pass. Love this Professor!!
Pro. Horikawa is very kind, and sweet. Her test is straight from homework, and the quiz gets 3 attempts. She'll drop the lowest score, but still give an extra 20 points. TONs of extra credit which help boost your grade. If you are struggling like me and even with a bad score test, I still passed with a "B". Take her, no regret! The BEST Professor!
If you do all the homework, extra credit, quizzes, and full attendance, you'll pass even do badly on exams, and finals. If you are struggling and never give up, Prof. goes out of her way to help you pass the class. Never give up, put 100% effort, if you're lost, she'll give credit for trying. Without her genuine heart, I will never pass. Take her !
I don't think she's cold to Chinese. I'm Chinese. It's true that Asian students aren't as active as European-American students. You can try to talk to her more.
Prof. Horikawa is not a racist. If you don't speak up with problems, and not open up, she won't understand your needs. You don't call someone cold because you don't ask for help, and feel like you left out because of your ignorance thoughts. I am Asian myself, she helped me through the end with an A. Her kind heart is open to all her students.
You don't call someone "COLD" because of your low self-esteem, insecurity, and ignorance. If you don't speak up with your problems, Prof. Horikawa can not read your minds. Prof. Horikawa goes out of her way to help her students to succeed. I am Asian myself, I see she treats all her students equally with my watchful eyes. She is kind and caring!
I took the stats with her and it was the easiest class I have ever took. She has a sweet and funny personality and her class is fun. She gave so many credits. If you wanna take stats, take it with her.
Such a caring and kind professor. She really wants all her students to succeed.
She is a really good teacher, funny class and easy homework. Many quiz but is easy. She will answer all your questions until you understand the question.
I enjoyed Professor Horikawa's class very much, she is a sweet teacher and will answer any questions that you might have. However, she does move pretty fast in her lectures and I found myself falling behind a little bit. There are also plenty of opportunities for extra credit.
very nice and funny teacher. lectures prepare you well for the exams and the exams were open note
Her lectures are AMAZING and include everything you need to know. she provides tons of practice and extra credits so even if you dont do well on the tests and quizzes you will be fine. she is so sweet and funny and she genuinely cares about her students.
I absolutely love this woman. One of the kindest and most approachable professors at IVC. If you participate and show that you are trying, she will help you. She does go a little fast in lecture, but if you pay attention you will be completely fine. She offers an insane amount of extra credit, which goes to show how much she wants you to succeed.
She is super sweet and has a great attitude. There's also many opportunities for extra credit. The material can be hard sometimes but she is really empathetic and always offers help. As long as you do your work it is impossible to fail.
Best teacher I've had at IVC. Very sweet and nice, will help you when needed.
The class was chill. Took the 8 AM; however, she was super nice and brought a good amount of energy. Learned a good amount of material, which is pretty interesting if you understand what is going on. I like the way she set up the class.
Note that her positive reviews must be self-evaluated, as she deleted the negative review I previously gave her. In her class, you really can't learn anything, especially if you need this statistics course as a foundation for other classes.
Mrs. Horikawa makes students think positive and always smile no matter her mood. Especially those warmups and fun stories that make me laugh and interested. I agree that some students may have difficult learning the subject itself. But, she has provided extra credit (study guides) and 10 day excuse to turn in assignments late.
Super nice and funny. This class is so easy and she provided us so many extra credit opportunities. She goes a bit fast during lectures tho. The exams are based on hw problems and the worksheets she gave us. Super easy class.
So kind, positive, and funny! 5 exams and 2 finals, seems like a lot but they are easy. Some proctored online and some in person.Tests based on homework and EC worksheet problems. Easy proctored quizzes on chapters and homework sheets due once a week. Very helpful and encouraging teacher! Fast paced but easy to keep up with. Tons of EC too take her
She's a good professor. If you struggle with math like I do, then do not take it. She's a very caring professor, but I couldn't understand the class as much as I wanted to.
Super sweet professor and made stats so easy. Insane amount of extra credit, cheat sheet on test, drops lowest exam and overall made class so fun. The only thing that was a bit challenging is she would move at a fast pace when teaching but is always willing to go over things again and do a deeper explanation to help you understand.
Prof. Horikawa is super sweet and engaging. The class is manageable if you stay on top of the work. unstuck study was a lifesaver for practice problems and boosting my understanding.
Very great and kind teacher. The content is naturally a bit difficult if you don't like math. Don't make the mistake of missing/not paying attention to the lectures. You have to try a bit but if you're dedicated, you should be okay. Definitely enjoyed the class !
Hilarious and amazing professor! She is extremely fair in her grading; there are many extra credit opportunities, and the tests are incredibly fair. All the questions are based on the homework and extra-credit assignments. As long as you do all of those before an exam, it is an easy A. She sets her students up for success! Would highly recommend!
Very funny and very caring, she really wants you to learn and pass the class. She gives out so many extra credit opportunities like study guides. She doesnt do group work. She assigns about 2-3 homework assignments a week but gives you a 10 day grace period. 2 of her exams are done online with a lockdown browser. Would 100% reccomend.
Professor Horikawa is super kind. She really wants to see her students pass, which is why she offers SO MUCH extra credit. If you understand the lecture notes and homework you will do well on the quizzes and texts. I'm not very good at math, but I really excelled in this class because of Professor Horikawa's teaching style.
Horikawa made me feel confident in math for the first time. She constructed her class so that it's impossible to fail. Complete the study guides because not only will you get extra credit, but you'll also see those exact questions on the exam as well. She also allows cheat sheets per exam. Best math teacher I've ever had.
Never understood her lectures, lots of opportunities for extra credit though
Material was ok, professor has very poor english which might be a dealbreaker when learning math
super chill prof, im not sure if stats was easy because its an easy class or if prof horikawa is just that good but great class and instructor. no clue why some ppl r complaining that she doesnt teach well like yea she has a bit of an accent but if u paid attention its not that difficult
Prf Horikawa uses clear instructional tools/email to communicate and overcome accent which is rarely an obstacle. Math is universal language and getting gradually from simple to advanced doesn't require much verbal explanation. I highly recommend classes with Prf Horikawa because she takes time to help understand and pass the class.
She is nice. I liked her class; her English is perfectly fine.
She's very nice and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities! The review packets were very useful, and helped me understand the concept.
She's caring and very kind. She's bilingual, her english is great and not an issue at all.
Very kind professor, lots of extra credit, and cares about her students. I recommend to take her for stats
Professor Horikawa is a very sweet and caring professor! Math can be a hard subject to understand and she tries her best to help her students succeed. She provides a lot of extra credit and her lectures/practice problems prepares you well for tests. I highly recommend her!
I got an A because I studied hard and used the professor's notes. She is very kind, and even when I studied quietly in the classroom, she never made me uncomfortable. Her extra credit helped a lot. If you practice on your own without copying, the quizzes and tests feel much easier.
Professor Horikawa is the best math teacher I've had. She is a fair grader, caring, easy to understand, and offers plenty of extra credit. Some rude and unfounded reviews claim that her accent makes her hard to understand, but as somebody who struggles with math, I have not found that to be an obstacle in my learning. Definitely take this class.
Her teaching was amazing and she is such a sweet professor. If anyone needs to take stats, she is the best!!
Ms Kazumi is so nice. She gave alot of extra credit for me to improve my score, as long as I try my best and do the extra credit homeworks. I love her so much. I'm personally not good at math but I finally can be able to complete it.
She's a very kind and caring professor. Her notes are easy to follow, and she makes herself very accessible to the class/students. The concepts can be a bit challenging; however, she breaks them down into very digestible chunks. Overall, she's a fantastic professor.
Don't get me wrong, Professor Horikawa is super sweet and easy to talk to. However, her curriculum can get a bit confusing at times. Its not your average, we do curriculum then we do the test, its instead, chp. 1,2,3,4 then we do chapter test for 1& 2 like 2 weeks after learning it. She also goes super fast and I cannot keep up.
VERY VERY AMAZING PROFESSOR, she is so funny and caring and also teaches well and if you don't understand something, she helps you until you fully understand it. Amazing personality and alot of extra credit. 10/10
This professor is by far one of the best professors at Irvine Valley College. Her lectures are very good and really help explain the material. Exams are very well written and she always gives some sort of practice test. She also gives lots of extra credit with all of her practice exams counting as extra credit.
Professor Horikawa is the best math teacher I've had in my life. Her passion for math is infectious; she brings a lightheartedness to the material that she teaches. She works so hard to provide us with quality, engaging lectures and offers so much extra credit that facilitates understanding. If you get the chance to take her class, do it!
I don't like math but Professor Kazumi Horikawa made me really like this subject. She wants all her students to succeed. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. She is very helpful and she is great for asking for help. She gives good feedback and you can ask her any questions that you have regarding the material. Best professor ever!
She is an amazing professor! She gives so much extra credit opportunities. She also allows cheat sheets on all the exams. She is very helpful!! All her lectures are so fun, she knows how to make statistics so fun. I am very happy that she was my professor for fall of 2025. She is so sweet and understanding! Definitely recommend for Stats C1000!!!!!
Kazumi Horikawa is a great professor who truly cares about her students. All homework and quizzes are online and can be turned in up to 10 days late, which makes the class easy to manage. She also gives extra credit packets and many other chances for extra credit. She is very kind, helpful, and understanding.
Professor Horikawa is one of the best teachers I have ever had and Is very caring and an amazing teacher.
Really sweet professor, you can tell she cares for her students a lot. Lectures move fast but are very informational and helpful.
Ms. Horikawa is such a sweet and intelligent professor! I've never been that good at math myself but she really helped me by being thorough in her lectures, offering a lot of extra credit, and correcting every quiz we did after class so we could immediately get the help we needed. Her helping us make "cheat sheets" for the exams also helped :)
Professor Kazumi is the sweetest professor ive ever met, this is my first year of college and im so happy I chose her class because she is so caring and her lectures are good, shes always ready to answer questions if youre unsure because she really wants you to succeed. Ive always been bad at math but I always feel comfortable asking questions
This professor is literally the best professor I had ever had in any college, she is very generous with extra credit, this class is an easy A. One exam is dropped and gave a lot of extra credit opportunity that's worth at least one exam. And all her exams are fairly easy as well. Take this class if you want to pass, she is so sweet.
This professor is wonderful! Would definitely recommend to all other students
I have never really been good at math, especially not statistics, but this teacher has done an amazing job in helping not only me but also others understand her work. She gives so many extra credit opportunities which help a lot in this class if you do not do so well in the exams. Overall a good class!
She is a great professor who cares about her students. If you don't understand something, she will clarify it to you without any shame. She WANTS to help her students, and is open to compromises. She is understanding, if you missed a test or a lecture, she will let you retake it, no questions asked. She provides a lot of leeway for her students.
She is such a kind and understanding professor! She makes me want to learn more about statistics. Horikawa will always help you if you ask for it, and explains things in a way that makes sense. I would recommend her class to anyone!
Prof is amazing and genuine. She's very patient and understanding - she gives students multiple chances for growth, and is open to explain repeatedly. She never gives up on her students. I took AP Stats in HS, and even with a teacher who is fluent in English, I didn't understand. As someone who DREADS math, Horikawa is the reason why I am passing.
Horikawa's teaching style reminds me of an elementary school's teacher's, and it helps me a lot! (I am a visual and slow learner.) She teaches in a way where it's easier for anyone to process. She also goes over each lesson everyday for recall - helps for remembering things for exams. She's so adorable! Horikawa fan club!!!
She's truly an amazing and kind professor, just make sure to follow her notes and attend her lectures I'm sure you will not have any issues passing her class. PARTICIPATION MATTERS IN THIS CLASS.
She's a great professor and very supportive. When people get confused during class she's willing to take just enough time to help clarify with students to make sure they understand, and that has absolutely helped me throughout the semester. She also has many practices before exams, which help studying a ton considering that they aren't for credit.
Very nice teacher. There is a slight language barrier but even if you dont understand something its okay because she gives so much extra credit.
Professor Kazumi is very knowledgeable and explains statistical concepts in a clear, approachable way. She explained the material clearly, provided helpful examples.Her teaching style made a challenging subject much easier to understand. I totally understand the lecture when she is teaching.
This was one of the most caring professors I've had, she offers so much extra credit and try's to make it where you understand the course if you ask questions
BEST PROF EVER!! From the beginning of class, she has been only uplifting and kind to everybody. If you ever have questions, she is always happy to answer and will take extra time out of her day to make sure she can explain everything to you perfectly. She is brilliant, kind, and an excellent professor. Tons of extra credit and very flexible!!!
Such a sweet and funny lady, she shows how deeply she is passionate about the topic and how much she cares whether her students excel. Offers a ton of extra credit and is very flexible about due dates if you tell her something happened, and you need extra time. 10/10 would take again
Super sweet lady and offers a ton of extra credit. take if you don't do well in a math class
Very straight forward and to the point, if you pay attention you will learn, also very caring and will reach out if you need a helping hand.
She is very kind and caring; she tries to take care of every student in her class, of course, including the ones who are having difficult times, to solve the problems. She is very inspirational and makes the class very fun!
Her class was very good. I really appreciated her.
If your'e going to take stats then take professor Horikawa! She is so thoughtful and caring, and her class is fun and she makes a difficult subject easy to understand. She teaches with the understanding that college is difficult, so she does everything she can to make our lives easier and keep our grades higher.
Professor Horikawa is a great teacher. Statistics is a challenging class, but Professor Horikawa does a great job at making it understandable. She is so kind, caring, and patient, and puts in so much effort both inside and outside of the classroom to make sure her students succeed. She also offers a lot of extra credit, so take advantage of that.
As a person who used to get C's in high school math, I was really scared that I would get similar grades in college. Professor Horikawa did an amazing job at teaching, and has so many extra credit opportunities. She truly wants to see you succeed and always finds ways to make class fun. I would take her for every math course if I could!
I heard people say it's hard to understand her lecturers because of her accent, but I can understand her just fine, and she explains everything in detail. If you don't understand, you can always ask her to slow down or explain again, and she is happy to, or you can go to her office hours after class. She wants every student to succeed.
My favorite professor! So sweet
So many extra points,the class also is easy to, the professor is kind . Take it!!!!!!!!!!
Professor Horikawa is genuinely one of the most caring professors I've had. She's patient, supportive, and never makes you feel bad for asking questions. Her lectures are clear, organized, and she explains concepts step-by-step, You can tell she really wants her students to succeed, and that was honestly inspiring.
I highly recommend taking the statistics course. The lectures and notes were easy for me to understand, and I felt that the homework really prepared me well for the quizzes and exams. There are lots of opportunities in this class to get additional practice, like study guides, and it made preparing much easier for me.
She is such an amazing professor. This is the only math class that i've actually understood, not to mention she is also the most sweet and caring person ever! I would 100% take her class again.
This professor is awesome. Her class is super easy if you actually study, and she really cares about her students and their grades. She gives extra credit, explains stuff well, and the accent thing is exaggerated. Just pay attention and you'll get everything. She's fun, inspiring, and I'd recommend her class to anyone taking stats.
An absolute angel of a professor for how she genuinely cares about her students and always finds ways to support them. She will give you tons of extra credit opprotunites that won't only help boost your grade, but it's perfect preparation for her exams. I'm not a fan of math but she made it enjoyable to be in class and learn!
I highly recommend this course for stats. The lectures and notes make the topics easy to understand and the homework is not difficult. Lots of review "pop quizzes" in class that aren't worth any points but great review and online quizzes with 2 attempts. There are also tons of extra credit opportunities which I would recommend taking advantage of.
Highly recommended that you take this professor for stats, she genuinely cares about you and your grade. She is very easy to talk to and gives many opportunities for extra credit.
I really recommend this class. The professor is really nice and caring. Just make sure to do all of her extra credits and attend class because you can get points off if you don't.
Professor Horikawa is a great professor to take, especially if you struggle with math! You get SOO much extra credit, and her study guides are the same as the exams; some problems aren't even tweaked to be any different. Just study what she gives, and the MOST IMPORTANT thing is to LEARN THE THEORY! It will help you a lot to understand the material
A really caring professor. Makes everything easy to understand, Extra projects are really helpful
