One of the best teachers at Tech. Super helpful, understanding, and extremely dedicated to her students. Word to the wise: do not come to class late more than a few times. That seems to be one of the only thing that wears her patience thin. Otherwise she's a doll.

Pre-Calc is hard in general, so make sure you invest a lot of time into getting the material. The four tests and the final are worth 72% of your grade. Crazy, but that's how it's set up. But Mrs. Vetter is probably as good as it gets for Wake Tech professors in the field. Just ask a lot of questions, and do well on the tests, you'll do fine.

The class is a lot of work, but if you put in the effort it isn't that bad - definitely reach out to her for help!

If you want a professor that will actually teach you the material, DO NOT take Mrs. Vetter's class. She will show you how to do one problem (if you are lucky) and then gets upset if you ask questions. Before a quiz, she got angry that a classmate had a question and rolled her eyes then told him to wait until after class was over for help.

Great math instructor. The course itself is challenging but the instructor does a great job of explaining the difficult concepts. She does expect you to do the work (slackers don't like her because they get a lot of zeros for not doing the work), but I found the assignments very helpful in actually learning the concepts. I highly recommend.

Vetter is an excellent and caring instructor; she makes the material easy to digest and will go over it with you if you don't understand. The course is structured into modules with assignments/content roughly every other day. Do everything in her "Lab Manual" it will be your guide! A lot of work is asked, but the effort will pay dividends.

-Was not very understanding regarding my sickness, even though I turned the work in. No grace periods on hw. -The tests seemed dissimilar to the content on the study guide. -Overall tough grader. The proctorio doesn't help. -In terms of extra opportunities, re-do's, or extra credit, don't ask, she won't grant it.

Professor Vetter was easily my favorite professor this semester. She's super caring and helpful, and always is willing to help out by explaining concepts. Beware, this class is hard. You'll have to dedicate at least 20 hrs per week for homework, studying, etc. But she does have office hours 4 days of the week, so she's always prepared to help out.

Professor Vetter is a great math professor! She gives opportunities to ask for help and makes herself available if you are struggling. This class is a bit heavy. The work is fast-paced, two homework due dates every week, one quiz due weekly. STUDY for the four module tests. Regardless, Professor Vetter is the best math professor I've had yet.

The class is fast-paced with a lot of content/assignments, but keep up with due dates and you'll do great. Four module tests and one final in one semester.

I took MAT 171 with Vetter ONLINE. She had plenty of thorough videos by both her and others for each lesson to explain the information and go through examples, and her blackboard was set up well. There was lots of homework and tests are a major part of your grade, but that doesn't change by professor. The Lab Manual prepares you well for the test.

MAT 263 - Brief Calculus - Mrs. V is the best math teacher I have ever had. Honestly, I can't believe I actually understand calculus and I am making an A. I would not consider myself a strong math student, but Mrs. V is a great teacher. The class is a lot of work though, but if you do the work, then you are prepared for tests.

I actually took her for MAT-263 but it wasnt one of the options listed. I am currently sitting outside her classroom for 20 minutes because i was 30 seconds late and she locked the door. Other than that she is still a horrible teacher and would steer clear of anyone trying to take her. Her handouts help a lot but she is a horrible teacher.

MAT-263. Amazing professor. Lectures are interesting and thorough. Homework can be a lot, but most of it is optional. If you just do the mandatory assignments, you'll spend about 1-2 hours a week on homework. Tests were easy, and projects were graded forgivingly. Highly recommend.

MAT 263 is a hard class. However, I think Professor Vetter makes it harder. I did not feel like her lectures were beneficial and she grades way too harshly, especially on the tests and projects. Exams are also 72% of your final grade which is ridiculous. I'd recommend taking 263 with someone else.
