Good professor. She has an accent, but is understandable and she knows what she's teaching. I took college algebra this semester and she really makes it simple for you. Quizzes and Exams are pretty easy as long as you know the material/formulas/etc. Good professor to take and always willing to help out with any question. Take her.

It is clear that she wants students to succeed in her class. She takes time to help students who are struggling and will re-explain concepts if you need extra help.

I wouldnt say she is a hard but she makes topics harder than they already are. She said she is "good" at teaching log functions she made us memorize like 8 formulas, when there are only 3 simple ones to memorize, that just pissed me off! half of the stuff she teaches is not even on final. Did not like her one bit.

She is an alright math professor. Basically you will have to put in the work through studying and repetitive problem solving to do great in her class. Not a horrible class, but if you have the option of a better professor take it, however she is not that bad and Baruch has a share of bad math professors.

The thing is she has a very thick accent, but math is delicate and needs a patient, smart, and nice professor to teach it and she is that. She explains it quite well and gives you example sheets so you can practice. Do the homework and study for the exams and there is no reason why you can't pass and I suck at math.

Listen!! TAKE HER! OK! I never thought I would understand precalc. and I got a B! She explains it in such a way that you'll get it. The class in itself is difficult, and you have to put in the work outside of class. Take her! She's one of the best Math professors at Baruch.

Very thick accent that you get used to. The course itself is fast paced and difficult so you have to put in maximum effort in order to pass the departmental final (or you won't pass the class)! Prof has organized and helpful notes posted. Participation serves as extra credit on exams. She is willing to stay after class to explain any quuestions.

Test heavy with long homework (6–7 parts per question). Participation = extra points toward exams. She has a strong accent, so understanding topic is very tough. Self teaching is mandatory. 3 quizzes (lowest dropped, +5 points if you work with a group). 3 exams—first one is easy, gets harder. Grading is lenient, but homework is challenging

She really cares about her students passing if she see's your putting in the effort. She doesn't expect you to be perfect either. Clearly has a followed course outline and study plans.

She is a nice professor - very kind. If you ask questions, she always answers. Some people complain about her accent, but as a non-native speaker, I understand her well. Exams and quizzes are challenging but manageable. The homework load is heavy. Grades: 3 exams (48%), final (30%), 3 take-home quizzes (12%), HW (10%). She also gives extra credit.

Honestly I am glad I had her as my professor I am not good at math at all trust me so I was nervous taking pre calculus but as long as you pay attention in class and take the professors advice you will pass. Her exams are actually harder than the final I took which is good because it prepares you better. I would definitely recommend her.

This is one of the best professors ever. I took her over the summer and though the material could be seen as challenging she made it very easy to understand. She prepares you well so at the end of the day you have to do your part and study. Taking her class made the final a lot easier.

Professor Nonoyama is a sweet person and you will get used to how she teaches quickly. Sit in front of the class and participate for bonus points. There are 3 quizzes(I think), 3 tests, and 1 final. Quizzes were take home. She provides a study sheet so tests aren't terrible as long as you prepare. I would recommend her to anyone!

I personally struggled to understand lectures due to the professor's strong accent, which made it difficult for me to fully understand and keep up with the material. I often had to teach myself most of the material. She is kind and does try to make sure students understand, so if the accent is not an issue for you, you may have a better experience.

She teaches well, but she's not getting my left kidney. I wished I could have switched to a different Professor multiple times during this class - but NOT BECAUSE OF HER ACCENT. English is the only language I am fluent in and I had NO trouble understanding her!
