I have to disagree because she seems to be very helpful in most instances. She is pretty clear in her teaching skills and if you don't understand something then she will explain it, although she does move too fast sometimes. Overall she is a pretty fair professor.

Prof. Ghiselin does a very good job of teaching the material and is dedicated to helping her students succeed. There are some interactive elements to her class that make algebra fun. Her teaching skills and approach will definitely prepare you for higher level mathematics courses and that's the whole purpose of this class.

Very nice Teacher, genuinly concerned with her students and their grades. Strict about absences in excess of 3 but blames it on school policy. Very much a math geek, and proud of it. She knows what she is talking about and will show you 'how' to do something as many times as you need, but dosn't really explain 'why' it works, which I need!

I have taken her classes since 0024, and had A+ in all three classes. College Algebra is a hard course, and she made it easy. Sometimes she goes a little fast, but if she sees people are not catching on to her, she goes back to explain it again and again. Do all homework, half of your quiz grade will be answers from homework. Easy class if you stud

First off, I want to say that she is a nice person but she is not a good teacher. However, in my opinion she treats everything in class like it's basically a review. She skips steps and will only explain certain key things if you ask her. She go through everything very fast so prepare to teach yourself on quite a number of topics.

Mrs. Ghiselin is an extremely nice teacher. Her class is not overly difficult, it is very fast paced though. If she asks the class a question and someone answers, she assumes the entire class understands and moves on. You do need to do the homework for the class, but it's not excessive, and it really helps. Overall I'd say 9/10.

She's a good professor. Very clear and to the point. She will answer questions and help out along the way as much as you need but this requires you to respect her. Don't even think about having your cell phone out. She's there to teach you and acts like it. The only thing I don't like is I felt like I was in a middle school class a few times

Ghiselin makes college algebra very easy, after barely passing algebra 2 in high this class had worried me. But all the concepts I did not understand previously were made clear in this class. Test are very easy if you do the reviews because she makes the review based off the tests she gives.

She gives pop quizzes, but in a way to prepare you for the tests, and always make sure you do your homework, that it a big must.

Ms. Ghiselin is a really caring math teacher who helps you grasp the basics of 1106, but at times she can go a bit quick, and it can be difficult to keep up with the lecture. She also has you print out 40 papers at the beginning of the course so that you can follow along with the material. Every grade is important in the class so do your best.

Uses both MyLab and e-text problems but that has been good for me as it helps to prepare for writing out work on tests. I met with her during her office time and she was very helpful.

This professor may be rated harshly, but thats only because this is a math class. Mrs. Ghiselin is a great professor that is willing to answer questions, but you just have to ask them because she moves very fast. If you do not have a college algebra background, this class will be very difficult as she expects you to know and remember that material

Professor Ghiselin was amazing and tries to help you if you are confused. She gives pop quizzes but allows you to use any notes on them. Tests are easy if you study and do the homework and pay attention in class. Final exam is exactly like previous tests and she gives a super helpful review the week before. I would definitely recommend

Prepare yourself to be met with a snarky attitude whenever you ask a question about something that is NOT included in the syllabus. Professor Ghiselin expects students to ask about topics that she never explains in a document and if you do not, you will be told that you should have asked her sooner. She is incredibly rude and unhelpful.

Very tough grader.The way she teaches her info just doesn't make sense.She makes you print out these long lessons that are like 60 pages long so you can follow along in class.If you don't print them out you have to copy them all in your notebook and she doesn't give you enough time to write everything because shes writing on the print out version.

She sticks to the syllabus so I knew from day one what to expect. Her lectures and tests line up and she gives good reviews in MyLab. Others complain about the homework, but this is college algebra so I expected homework. I am a more mature student so perhaps I am looking at the course differently.

One of the best professors I've ever had, she truly cares about her students. Her tests are made in a way that really shows whether you understood the material or not, no trick questions or hoping students lose points. Online textbook questions are helpful, especially test reviews. Overall fantastic, you will not regret taking her!

She was great at explaining the algebra in a way that I could understand. A few times I met with her outside of class and she even explained it to me a different way when I needed it. Also, she replied to emails with lots of information. I wish she was teaching pre-calculus in the fall because I want to take her again!

Her behavior when someone asks a question is a bit snarky and she moves really fast when she assumes you know how to do a problem. Also, the assignments in my lab aren't due on the same days every week, they're mainly due on weekdays. Overall, I would've been better off getting a tutor to teach the material and taking an online class.

Mrs. G wants to help you succeed. Her class lectures are good and she uses notes so you can concentrate on the algebra concept and still go home with good notes. She replies to emails and is willing to help outside of the classroom. Her tests are fair and cover what is covered in class and on the homework. Homework is graded on quizzes.

Professor Ghiselin wasn't hard to understand but she can be fast paced. NO phones allowed! She does pop quizzes and expects you to do at-least 40 more questions from the book on top of mymathlab. Also, if you fail the final she will give you a 0 on it even if you received a 59 :). She also tends to make smart regards to students.

I prefer more algebra classes and I also think the textbook has a terrible way of describing and explaining things. I wouldve failed if it wasn't for turtoring.
