Very good teacher. You will definitely learn your math in her class. She is a nice person, highly devoted to students and very accessible. She teaches very fast, but she knows this and will slow down if asked. Makes sure every student is clear about how to solve each problem before proceeding.

She is a very helpful teacher. She will make sure everyone learns. I learned a lot. It wasn't a easy class thou. But not too hard if you study for the mid-term and Final Test. HW is all due at mid-term and the final. I didn't even do it though. I passed the midterm with a B and Final with like maybe a C or D.. I got a C in the class.

Very nice teacher but terrible grading system designed to make students fail. Midterm is worth 30% of student's grade and final, which is not cumulative, is worth 55%. So if you understand the first half of the semester's material but don't grasp the second half material as well you are screwed. I've witnessed multiple students needing to retake c

She is unclear. Although she gets to class early to help students, she rarely gives them the help they need, and in most cases tells them to talk to other students. However, most students in her classes do not understand what is going on, and simply guess on the homework until they get it right. Be ready to spend hours on homework, can't skip any.

Her class is quite fast paced, she usually doesn't leave much time for questions during lectures because she tries to go through as much material as possible, class requires extra work at home. She didn't space out the topics very well, so towards the end, herself and the students had to cram. Although, she is one of the better math teachers.

Faster teaching style than for many who actually need the extra support. She tried to be accommodating but her teaching style was just very hard to grasp and hard to stay on track. We would jump around topics without understanding the connection and each step seemed to be rushed.

The way she grades test is a total mystery, she grades based on how she is feeling that day. So get ready to get points off for the most ridiculous of things. She does not know how to teach that class, extremely disorganized and aggressive. She gets tests back quickly but with a bunch of grading mistakes. Do not take her unless you want to suffer.

Tsuchiyose has a very fast paced teaching style that will not suit everyone's needs, however, if you need help she is 100% willing to help if you are willing to ask. Her grading can be a bit mysterious but go talk to her about it and she will explain. I loved her, she was very kind. (You don't have to do all the hw to pass if you test well)

She seems to really care about your learning and complete comprehension of the material rather than just putting numbers into equations. That being said, she is very strict an her tests dont make a lot of sense. She takes points off for reasons that dont really make sense and shes hard to approach. Not the worst teacher but would take someone else

Mrs. T is an amazing teacher. The past six weeks in this fast-paced Linear Algebra course were packed with an incredible amount of materials, and she taught it well—integrating current AI applications . It's surprising to see negative reviews from past students who didn't pass the class—they likely had a very different perspective.

I appreciated her teaching style. I know some did not enjoy it but it is very effective for learning. Her teaching is very dynamic with questions and response. we all learn so much in such a short time. She has a lot of energy .

She works very hard genuinely for students to learn materials. We have learned a lot, not only linear Algebra but how to ask questions etc. she encourages all to ask questions . How much content we covered in such short time is amazing. My brain was exploding. She cares and supports students well.

AVOID her at all costs like seriously. She is so rude and passive aggressive and genuinely miserable. Attendance was mandatory, class four times a week for 2 hours and 30 minutes. She calls on you to make sure you are paying attention. 3 hard tests. LONG homework assignments. And the cherry on top is the oral tests to "verify" you aren't cheating

3 tests, literally horrible. I think she should retire, She is literally so mean for no reason. Can easily be the worst teacher I have ever had. When the class started there was 35 people, at the end only 9 people remained. That shows u how much people hated her teaching style.

Actually one of the worst professors i've ever had. Was so rude and belittles students. Be prepared to get called on and then judged if you get an answer wrong. Syllabus was confusing & old. Accused half the class of cheating and did oral tests (idek how she wanted us to do that for math). 1/3 of the class dropped or withdrew because she was so bad

ORAL tests because she thought all of her online classes cheat. Super hard grader, mostly everyone was failing her tests, and literally 70 questions for homework every single night. Not to mention how passive aggressive she is.

I took this class over the summer. Tsuchiyose is a great professor and focus mostly on the conceptual part for this course. Her test were pretty easy was tested on what was stated (no suprises). If taking it online you must keep up with the work to recieve a good grade.

I would not recommend taking your class she has a weird way of teaching material which doesn't really sink in she post all the assignments on an external website and she does not give you a grade she has all the grades for everybody in the class kept in an Excel sheet that only she can see so you can't know if you're doing good or bad in the class
