I would not recommend this teacher to anyone. She's very unprofessional and rude to her students. She'll brush you off if you come to her with any problems. Her grading is unfair and doesn't grade on a curve. Self taught class... you bet. So she'll expect you to teach yourself and do well on the test. What kinda of math class is self taught...

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR FOR TRIGONOMETRY. Heck, don't take her at all. Only take her if you enjoy taking quizzes at the beginning of classes with no question before, no curve grading on tests, doing a metric crap ton of online homework, and having to self-teach yourself the material. Christensen does not know the material. DO NOT TAKE HER!

DO NOT take this teacher if you are not good at math. Be prepared to teach this class to yourself. Not very helpful nor is she clear about the work. I'm very good at math and I failed her class. She does everything online. Never use a book. Problems online never look like the problems she does in class. The same goes for test questions as well.

Very little assistance with my classwork, absolutely no help with the homework, and she likes to spend the whole class learning material that is irrelevant to upcoming test. Don't expect review or anything useful. Just take the online version unless you enjoy mandatory class periods and still doing all the learning online.

All her hw problems had problems we never got taught in class. Basically learn for yourself kinda thing. The things we did get taught in class, she only gave one example of each. Usually always the easiest one. So in class you think you got this but when you get the hw or quiz, its a whole new worl. She is really nice but isnt that good at teaching

she doesn't accommodate you even if you have accommodations. I would not recommend taking her for any semester.

she lacks in her teaching method so you end up trying to teach yourself the class material. she is not accommodating at all and comes off extremely rude to some of her students. theres hw every night and quizzes every week. I wouldnt recommend this professor as I feel like she made me hate math even more than I already do.

I took this class for fall online and it was awful. text book is online and she has a "homework list" that is difficult to read. I emailed her about it and she just told me to look at the homework list. I told her that wasn't helpful and she sends me an attachment on the email with a photo that didn't even work! STAY AWAY + LOTS OF HOMEWORK!

Worst professor ever. She does not teach any of the material. She provides videos that arent helpful. I had to teach myself all the material. Tons of homework. She limits her exams to an hour but expects you to finish in 30 minutes. She grades extremely hard when shes not even the one teaching. Avoid at all costs. Awful.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid this professor. She is horrible and does not teach the math. She posts old videos on youtube that arent helpful. Toughest grader for someone who isnt the one teaching. Youll have to teach yourself the whole course if you want to pass. Will dock many points for missing 1 out of the 100 math problems assigned each week. Awful.

Not a great online course. Prof does not create the lectures but instead posts videos made by someone else. Not helpful when you message her. Grades tough. So much homework. The only perk is the textbook is free. Other than that it's a horrible class to take. Would never take it again.

not a good class. no teaching from the professor. extreme amounts of homework. do not take this professor if you want to be successful.

Be prepare to waste tons of graph paper and leave enormous spaces between every single problem or you will fail. Don't think because its a simple class you'll pass it, you're assigned heaps of homework with no teacher guidance and everything is nit-picked. Oh man, you forgot to put a 0? Enjoy the 8 points taken off of your grade for that.

this prof does not make lectures teaching the material yet she grades extremely tough. if your answer is wrong she will give it a zero and give no credit for showing work. how can one grade so hard on material theyre not teaching. take any other prof for this course. avoid at all costs. also so much homework.

Took this class to re integrate into the school system after a long break. Professor doesnt explain why points are docked on exams and trying to explain your work (even if answers are correct) gets you nowhere. Definitely feel like I wasted my money on this course.

This Professor has to be one of the worst at Palomar. If I could give a 0 I would. Your work on an exam will look exactly like hers and she will still dock you points for no reason. Wont even answer until hours laters. Every thing in this class is self taught.

worst professor ever

I took her math 60 class. She was excessively picky on grading. I spent about as much time in this class as my anatomy class. She did not teach this class at all. She assigned an online math book, which didn’t even teach the way she would want the steps of the problems to be done in the exams. Lots of people dropped out in my semester.

By far the worst. Grading is inconsistent, she requires you to do the homework and give ZERO credit for it, doesn't record her lectures, and the videos required for the material aren't even her teaching the material. She relies on the book to teach the material and the videos taught by other people not associated with Palomar.

This professor has never taught a course in her life. She clearly does not care how students do in class; she makes zero effort to maintain students engaged with the material. The Homework is expected and collected during exam days. ( Exams are very frequent, you can have an exam one week and the following week you'll be slammed with another one).

She is THE TOUGHEST grader I've ever had, she expects work to be shown but it has to be the way it was taught in "Class". ( She does not care if you have the right answer or not; it must be done her way only) . Her idea of teaching is awful as all she does is send you random youtube videos that aren't even made by her or Palomar whatsoever.

Her grading never makes any sense. She takes off points for not having a unit, that she never mentioned in the question. I would rather drink a bottle of bleach than take her class again.

This Math Professor doesn't care about students at all. I'm failing her class because I was having network issues as I was trying to take pictures of my work and submit through Canvas, I quickly emailed her about it and even emailed her why I couldn't submit, and her response back was that she was just not going to accept it, so she gave me a big 0

Teacher grades as if every student is doing their masters in mathematics. You will learn from random youtube videos(3+ different channels) where only 1 guy seems to explain things clearly. You will read from a textbook that has typos and is very impersonal. Oh and you can't seek outside help(as the answers must be derived from lessons). STAY AWAY

This teacher isn't much of a teacher and just reads answers on a sheet and compares them. There is 0 work she put into this class and just finds random semi-relevant videos/textbooks that does the work for her. There's no learning to be done by her so might as well not even be a teacher at all.

This "professor" is terrible, unpleasant, incompetent, despicable, awful, very bad, unqualified, unskilled, and inadequate. She's getting paid to do nothing. Do not take her class. I repeat... do not take her class.

Does not participate with the class. The only contact I get with this professor is through grading the 5 tests which make up your whole grade. Does not provide clear expectations and is a very harsh grader. No lectures, just youtube videos.

she grades unfairly. for example, on her first test, I was asked "use a calculator to find the sec of 18 deg". i put "sec18 =" and then the answer the calculator gave me, and she marked that question wrong for lack of work. it said to use a calculator, and i got the correct answer, but she took 10 points off of my test for "failing" that question.

This teacher seems like she wants her students to do well but she is too tough! She doesn't even grade homework and only tests. She grades the tests with no mercy. It was hard to have motivation in this class when you are doing everything you can and paying a tutor 3x a week but still struggle to pass.

DO NOT TAKE CLASS. The teacher doesn't teach anything you are self-teaching by watching YouTube videos. The material given py the professor didn't cover what was in the exam. Also, she only grades discussion boards and exams (not even the homework). Again DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

i hate this teacher

Her tests are in-person at the Math Center, only 1 hour allowed, or she will not grade. Your grade is mostly made of these tests. Half of her “Lessons” are just links to other teachers old youtube videos. She wants you to submit homework she doesn't grade, and will withhold extra credit opportunities from students that are not doing well in class!

this professor never listened when I had some troubles submitting the exercises. She is ridiculously unfair and should never be a professor because she never wants to help the students. Just what she thinks is right for her. Subject is not difficult but professor is.

This professor is not considerate of students' time or needs. Gives vague instructions, and is inflexible with deadlines—even during emergencies. It feels like they expect perfection without offering support. Would not recommend unless you're okay navigating the course alone.

Extremely disappointing experience. The professor shows little empathy or understanding toward students. No extensions, no feedback, and no effort to accommodate personal or academic challenges. It felt like we were treated as a burden, not as learners.

This professor is the worst professor I've had. Only take this class if you are okay doing a test, getting one question wrong out of 20, and getting a B- on the test. I understand trig fairly well and had the whole unit circle memorized before even taking this class. I have a 4.0 with over 50 credits, not anymore, I got a C in this class...

You can't be a professor and not teach a thing. sends out announcements, but total don't add up to an hr. announcements are not a teachable moment, everything is self taught. the discussions are pointless and have nothing to do with math! She will not grade the posts fairly and if she doesn't understand she will not give you points for the post.

The worst professor i have ever met. Completely unreasonable and never cares about the students.
