I took the MW night class but dropped. She goes through material really fast as you are writing notes and skips steps assuming you know what you are doing. Classes were rushed and there wasn't enough time to clarify questions. There were quizzes at the end of each class and HW was online but didn't relate to the lecture notes. Good luck students.

Miss Ro, is a great teacher. She will come off as strong at first but that's because many students feel they can walk all over her because shes young.

Kelly Ro is by far the best math professor I've had so far! She's super cute and really does love her job. If you have any questions, she makes sure to explain it until you understand the problem. She gives little homework and makes an effort to make the class easy. Her handouts for notes is also very easy to follow and study upon.

Ro can be cool but skip out on doing the homework and you definitely won't pass her tests. Something about her lessons don't make the concepts she teaches all that memorable and easy to learn. Probably wouldn't have gotten as far as I did in her class without Slader. Pretty stingy with extra credit but good prof to take if you're retaking calc

I have taken her class TWICE! I honestly came to the conclusion it was all my fault for not understanding the material. Whenever I asked for an example similar to the homework, she said, "It's just like the homework." It was not, she gave simple examples, but when it came to the homework, it was complex, to the point I couldn't compare problems.

Professor Ro, for me didn't help with the online calculus. I received more help from Youtube videos than her class. If you fail the exams, you will fail the class. And to add to the weight of the exams, they are not like the quizzes or HW so study up. It was really hard to communicate or find a community in the class. Zero engagement in/out ofclass

Calculus online is not ideal. But her lecture videos and notes are very helpful. Not a lot of online professors provide their own videos, but she does. All quizzes are open book. Some part of the exam is open, some closed. One daily homework, which I find it better than 5 due one day.

Calculus is not an easy subject but Professor Ro makes it doable. One thing about her is that she is very accommodating to your needs. Can I turn in HW late with no penalty? Sure! Can I take the exam some other time? Sure! I made a simple mistake, can I redo an exam question for credit? Sure!

Professor Ro genuinely cares about your learning but also you, like your health and your family/work situations. Definitely one of the most understanding professors I've encountered. Don't be afraid to just email her and ask, she is very accommodating. I am personally thankful for her kindness she showed me.

Professor Ro is such a tough grader. When taking a class with her, just be ready to be stared down in the Zoom exams. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE TEST-TAKING ANXIETY!! Every exam is recorded, and she monitors your every move! Also, she tells students the exam is only a few questions, but in reality, each question has around 6-8 parts.

There are a lot of bad online professors out there, but she is one of the good ones. I can't say it was easy taking Calculus 2 during summer, but it was definitely doable with her help throughout the class. She is very approachable, always willing and available to help.

The exams being worth 60 percent of your grade are really annoying after putting in a lot of work getting the homework assignments done. Her quizzes do not give you enough time so you better be fast at solving hard equations. The zoom exams were tough as they are mostly designed on the hardest questions that don't pertain to any of the homework.

I took this class twice and failed at my school. Professor Ro's lecture videos and guided notes are what got me through this class. She also gave me multiple chances to make up assignments and even assessments, which I am very grateful for. She is very approachable and you will enjoy her teaching style.

I took Professor Ro's Calc2 6-week course during summer. It was quick and painful but I got through it. HW everyday helped me keep up with the course, Quizzes are all open book but timed so you still have to know your stuff. It was a lot of work but expected for this accelerated course.

If you study the lecture notes and practice exams, you'll do fine because most test questions are based on them. She even gave out some final exam questions ahead of time. At the end of the term, she reached out to help me raise my borderline grade. Super fast grader and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Very kind and caring professor! I performed very well in Calc 1 but struggled a lot here in Calc 2, especially as I had other commitments; so unless you're ready to commit a lot of time each day during the 6 weeks, this course may not be for you. Prof. Ro gave me several chances to boost my grade to pass (under P/NP), which is much appreciated.

I did not receive opportunities to get a passing grade. I was not offered extra credit. There was no time to do study anything else besides getting carpal tunnel with how many problems you have to do. It would be more helpful if she made us focus on the problems for the exams. She just wants you to fail so you retake her again to waste your money.

The only content that matters are the exams that nothing else matters for a grade. Homework doesn't really match you might as well just do the study guides. Very confusing. I would prefer the questions be on canvas than over zoom as it was hard to see them as it is. Make study groups if you can perhaps that will help you pass calculus. good luck!

It's an easy A if you put in the work. Seriously, she tells you exactly what's going to be on the exams, and they're all based on her lecture notes & reviews. You must treat those notes and videos as your holy grail, skipping them means you're not studying the material that matters. I'd bet over half the class finished with an A.

I highly recommend her class. She really cares about her students, which you can see in how supportive she is. If you ever fall behind, she usually offers makeup opportunities for homework and tests. It really shows that her priority is helping you learn the material, not just grading you strictly.
