Mrs. Beale is awesome! I love her and she's always willing to help her students! I would recommend her to any student who needs to start out in Mathematics.
No Comments
If you have a hard time in math, she WILL NOT HELP you!!!!!
Teacher never responds to emails but loves to send them, has no best interest of the student; strictly business to her. Also threatens to drop students who haven't completed work or have purchased materials. Let it be the students decision to drop themselves; they could be having financial hardships. Dont take, Waste of time!!!
Good when it comes to helping students and grades fairly. Offers for HW and quizes to be done on the My Math Lab (very helpful). Pretty strict when it comes to attendance but missed quite a few classes herself and majority of the time no notice was givien to the students.
Took the summer class, and the teacher uses every minute of class except on tests days. requires you memorize EVERYTHING and there is absolutley no use of a calculator whatsoever. her notes are strictly copies from the examples in the book, no real notes. she gave WAY to much work during the semester, 1 test about everyweek. 2-3 sections of homewor
wonderful teacher takes the time to help students whenever she can. Summer final was easy and reviewed thoroughly
Summer 2011 was intense But Mrs Beale was totaly helpful through the class. Totaly will take her again for Pre algebra. :) Final was a breeze
Took her online class...It was a chain clink class meaning if you dont do a homework ass. you cant even take the quiz which then you cant take the test.
Wasn't bad at all! Just stay on top of the material and you will do fine..
I took her online class...Take another teachers class! The way she links homework to quiz to the test is a pain. Also you can not see when a test will open up and when it will close until the day it opens, then it closes 24hrs after that. Anytime you need to get ahold of her, be prepared to WAIT. Also is not very willing to acomidate DSPS students.
If math is what you want to learn, then Mrs. B. is who you want to see. If you are willing to learn, she will help you to no end. She's been nothing but thorough in both the classes I've attended. Hope to take the third.
I am taking math 76 online. the class is easy but I will never take this teacher again, unless she changes. she does not repsond to emails right away. you have to put a code in for exams! which means you have to email her for the stupid code.its been two days now and still no code!. she is slow putting up the homework and the exams.
I took this class my very first semester and didnt like it atall!She teaches at a very fast speed,rushes through the lessons.I would never take her class again.
Lectures way to fast, and gives out to much work to a refresher math class. She's a nice lady. But so many people in the class failed. A poor reflection on the teacher.
I took the class and absolutely loved it, she makes it really easy! I definitely recommend it to anybody! Just dont bring your phones, or have them off before class, she will tell you why during class I can guarantee it! :)
She's a great teacher.She knows what she's talking about and makes class enjoyable & fun.She's funny and doesn't bore with lectures.She explains the material well and if you take the notes(which i suggest you do),it's way more easier to understand when she gives out homework.I recommend taking her class to everyone:)I'm taking her again for math80.
hard teacher, she dont care about the students. if you learn math differently she will fail you. DONT TAKE HER you wont find out the grade until the class is over
Took math 78 online and the coursework is not too hard, but plan to wait for email responses from this teacher. She doesn't seem too tech savvy either as there were many issues throughout the semester with the MML homework, tests and even the final !!!! She is fair to fix problems, but she has too many issues. Better to take on campus probably.
nice person, but super hard class, she gives way to much class work and homework and moves WAY to fast! im taking her this semester spring 2013 and im dropping her to take someone more reasonable.
Her class is one that you DO NOT want to screw around in. If you do all of the work you will pass with flying colors! She is the best professor I have had in Math, and the ONLY professor I can say that has made an impact on my life at Delta! Without her I wouldnt be where I am right now!
Very confusing, i didn't understand the way she taught, don't recommend her. Too much homework, easy problems but hard problems on tests and quizzes. Moves too fast and doesn't explain things clearly!
This teacher has a great personality but gives out way too much homework. She didn't give out Docushare quizzes for a period of time and then gave them all out at once to be done in one week along with the homework to be done on MML which was all together over 200 problems. She isn't as organized as she puts out so don't stress and take her class
Easy Instructor. My only problem is she does not let students use calculators. Not everyone can do mental math like she can. Prefer taking another instructor.
I had The in person class for this teacher she gives out way much home work.she goes way to fast and wants you to learn the math the way that she wants. The homework that we do is on a website that only let's you answer the questions a certen way for every section their is at least 25 to 30 question to answer . I DO NOT RECOMMEND TAKING HRE CLASS!
I had health issues, which was my problem. However, that being said, this professor is not timely in answering emails. This became a huge problem, so I dropped the course. I used the textbook for the rest of the summer and finished the course work. The book is excellent.
This class is in person and online using the My Math Lab program. Hone your math skills and I highly recommend taking Kindra Beale for this class.
She is really nice but I didn't enjoy the class. It went way to fast and was all mixed up. The lectures didn't go in order. I didn't like that it was half online either. Sometimes there would be 6 assignments due on the same day and almost all had over 60 problems. She never responded to emails either. I didn't enjoy going to class. Especially since it was 2 hours long.
I didn't enjoy this class. It was no fun at all. It's 2 hours in class and then online. She uses every minute of the class and doesn't really let you out till 13:30. Even when you have another class to go to. She gets mad if u have a class after hers because you can't stay and do extra work. Online there will be 4 or more assignments due in the same day all with 40-60 problems. The lectures are all over the place too. Never in order. I recommend another class!
DO NOT TAKE HER UNLESS YOU DO IT ONLINE!! Don't expect a reply back instantly. She takes FOREVER!! Her excuses is she has soooo man students to take care off so what? My tax prep professor has tons of students as well but he got back at me azaap. She makes you do these stupid subject line when you email here but it makes no differences.
There's a lot that needs to be changed. More timely response. If you are going to be a pain in the butt regarding the subject line then please do email back when we have questions. I feel she's soo unprofessional. She replied back telling me to figure the problem out myself. Wth?!! I'm glad I took it onine instead of in class.
I did not like this class. I don't recommend it. She doesn't go in order, she does respond to emails and it's not an enjoyable class. I strongly recommend a different teacher. Way to much homework too. It was crazy.
dont take her if u want to pass. she gives too much homework and it has to be done her way
She is very strict and particular about the way things are done but does not get back to you about questions promptly making it difficult to comply with her high expectations. I am all for working hard but she should at least make it enjoyable for her students. The assignments are 30-50 questions and 2-3 a week with a quiz for each. Good luck!
She requires you to have the mymathlab online course. Homework is mandatory and she does give A LOT! I learned a lot in her class but I also had to work hard. I did every homework assignment on time and received a B or better on my tests. It was hard work for that B! She does like things her way, but is very thorough and is willing to help.
Her class was a great refresher.
She's an excellent teacher. If the hm isn't done correctly, like showing your work & doing all the steps you wont get a good grade. She will help you if you ask her. Many students fail because they think turning HW in half done or with just their names on it will get them pts, that's not how it works in college. I goofed off & my grade suffered
Great teacher. Explains everything well, and answers your questions fully. Very organized and professional. I would take her class again if she taught other math classes. I highly recommend her class if you have forgotten pre-algebra math skills.
She definitely made sure we all understood the material and was always ready and willing to help any student that needed extra help.
She's an awesome teacher! She's tough with homework though believe don't take this class and slack off , i was doing fine but all the homework i didn't do caught up with me! Do your Quizzes! If you need help let her know!
unnecessary assignments that has nothing to do with the subject. Provides unclear instructions. The assignments are easy but her instructions are frustrating. I highly recommend to choose a different professor.
Mrs. Beale was awesome! She helped me understand math better and was very clear when explaining what she wanted on tests, quizzes and even homework. I would totally recommend her, she is one of the best!
DONT TAKE HER. SYLLABUS IS YOUR BIBLE. OVER 10 PAGES LONG, SUPER CONFUSING, AND ALL OVER THE PLACE. 50% THINGS THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THE CLASS R DUE WHENEVER AND THRU SCANTRONS, EMAILS, OR OTHER PORTALS. EXTREMELY CONFUSING. SHE DIDNT LET ME IN THE COURSE UNTIL AFTER 2 MONTHS. WONT BELIEVE ANYTHING U SAY. HER WAY OR NO WAY. DSNT CARE! U WIL FAIL!
I really do not recommend her and I wish I hadn't taken her. DO NOT TAKE HER! during the whole semester you won't know your grade, disorganize,and her TA sucks.
This is a wonderful class to take if you need to brush up on basic skills like I did. As long as you attend, do your homework, and get a decent grade on your midterm, you will pass. She even lets you retake tests with a group for the chance to improve your grade. Plus, she's hilarious and fun to be around.
Ms Beale is a great teacher despite these negative comments. Her terminolgy is funny. I like her. I mean how hard is it to show up, like you're supposed to and do your work? Theres tutoring and she offers her office hours. She explains throughly. Would deff take her again.
Do not take this lady unless you absolutely have no choice. She's unorganized and often throws assignments at you at last minute w/ minimal to no direction. She is not available at office hours and will not respond to emails. She barely lectured and made us write a paper for a math class and do other irrelevant assignments that don't include math.
She cancels class quite often, doesn't teach, and assigns ridiculous assignments. It was also frustrating because she's quite slow at responding emails. However, she knew her faults and made the tests easier to answer and gave some extra credit. Her grading scale is very confusing to understand. She seems nice but needs more work as a professor.
Lecture content was remedial math with little relevant information yet, college level homework and testing. Assignments were never accessible when assigned. Work was so delayed by the professor that I spent every weekend on homework instead of being able to complete work when my kids were in school. Many classes were cancelled. Worst experience!
I've never experienced a more unorganized and disrespectful instructor. She uses humor to insult her class. I learned more about her tenure, achievements and other jobs than I did about the class text. This class could be so useful with a more professional professor. Weekend work is mandatory as assignments are rarely available on time.
Any questions. I had were answered in a timely manner. She is clear at the start of the semester what she expects from her students. I love how she makes sure every student is actively participating in her course. I would take her again if I had to.
Despite of the fact of her long career which she brags about the most immature and disorganized teacher ever. 14days after the final our class doesnt know the grades not only of final but the assignments that were submitted in the beginning of the school year. She looses assignments. No email replies. And frequent absent on her part does not help.
She was unorganized in the past because she had a lot on her plate. She has gotten better since then. Most, if not all, of her students don't visit during her office hours or the tutoring center and yet still complain about not understanding the work. She is very helpful. You keep track of your grade, not her. Show your work.
Don't take her. She doesn't teach, you have to teach yourself plus all of the homework. She doesn't explain clearly of what she wants from you. You are expected to do a long assignment for like 10 points. She is very confusing.
Professor Beale is something else. She is the most organized unorganized person youll ever meet. Her instructions are confusing. Her lectures are pointless. Lots of homework even on the weekends. She goes on tangents about her life. She also doesnt like children. She doesnt put in grades & respond to emails. She also cancels class last minute.
HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! DONT TAKE HER! SHE IS UNORGANIZED AND A SUPER LATE GRADER! NEVER RECEIVED GRADES OF ASSIGNMENTS THAT WERE DONE! THUS, WE NEVER KNEW OUR GRADE. SHE IS RUDE AND WILL KICK YOU OUT OF CLASS IF YOUR PHONE GOES OFF OR IF YOU ARE ON IT. DONT LATE EITHER OR SHE WILL TELL YOU TO COME BACK THE NEXT CLASS. RUDE RUDE RUDE!
Prof. Beale was friendly and willing to work with students who approach her before or after class. This is a math course to show future educators various methods of teaching math to students. Downsides are lots of weekly turn ins, little response via email from prof., and grading criteria isnt clear, but the work itself and her grading isnt hard.
I took Ms. Beale in the fall 2018 I can say that she taught well and is willing to help you in class and out. Many times I asked her "how can I fix this and that" and she explained to me really well! In my opinion, I think that this class was an easy A class. She doesn't have any favorites. JUST DON'T GO ON YOUR PHONE IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
Do not take at all costs. Im not a lazy student but she is a lazy teacher. Always canceled class and no one knew their overall grade the entire semester. Didnt receive anything back(including tests) until the last week of class and none of it was graded. Never gave study guides for exams or final.
I had issues in this class and contacted the Professor numerous times, she never got back to me. This was an online class I finally had to drop. No communication at all.
I took 4 days a week with Ms. Beale and she is awesome! The homework and tests are EZ to get 100% on because of unlimited trials and group work. She gets the stress of school and really tries her best to come off with nothing but care and understanding for her students. She's super sweet, smart and willing to admit to being wrong when she is. 10/10
I took Prof. Beale Fall 2019, was happy with my choice. Read previous reviews & was afraid of the outcome. Glad I took class anyway. She is very helpful & teaches you the things future teachers will encounter. Class was easy, a lot of math you will be teaching elementary students. I would take Prof. Beale again!
Witty. Tells stories to help teach topics. Good lecturer. But pretty unorganized and confusing when it comes to grades.
Took her for granted! I took 17A with her and she gave great lectures and most of our participation and grades came from group projects and group tests. Allows late homework and lets you use your ebook as long as your not texting while she is teaching. She does care about her students and is always making sure to help out if you need it.
Had her for math17A and shes great at going over the problems on the board. She often had students work in groups and the test book was used very often. Shes pretty nice
I always found math hard, but she made it easier. She will really listen and works hard to answer questions.
She makes everything due at 5PM, it wouldn't kill her to make it 11:59PM. She has no respect for her students or due dates. I had an email assignment due, and she did not send the reply email until AFTER THE DUE DATE. If I was not resourceful, I would have lost 10 easy points. I emailed another student asking for the link she was supposed to send.
Childish. This whole class was a mess, once you get lost you are LOST. She assigns the most confusing assignments that aren't even related to the course and asks way too many personal questions. Half of the time this class felt like an English course. She admits to the whole class that her class is difficult but doesn't do anything to change that.
For this class you dont need a textbook just the online Pearson code. Being online is bassicly teaching yourself the material. She only does zooms on Tuesday. Some things are hard but if you put the effort into the class to learn it should be easy
This teacher made me want to cry. SO MUCH UNNECESSARY WORK. 1st red flag was the 20 page syllabus, you lose brain cells reading that thing, there's too much that you can't even find what you need if you're looking for help. (which is your only help since she's slow to respond & will just tell you to refer back to her long ol syllabus) V Unorganized
Very unorganized prof. There are TONS of assignments and because there are several places she posts different assignments, it is easy to miss a deadline if you aren't searching and checking for what is due at least once a day. She wont grade assignments in a timely manner- which leads to unnecessary errors on work turned in later in the semester.
Took online using MyMathLab. Don't take it this way unless you are ready to work alone with no instruction. Wants 48 hours to respond to email. Syllabus is way too long. Technical issues with MyMathLab. Ton of assignments. Doesn't post grades during the semester. Zoom calls (sometimes) but just goes through a couple of problems/doesn't explain.
This professor is the reason why I use this website. She is very unorganized and assigned WAY to much work, about 5-8 assignments a week along with other tasks. Uses various math programs to complete assignment. Does not respond in a timely matter. At one point I had to hand write an assignment only to then scan an upload a specific way
I am a college student and I took some summer classes at delta college. This professor dropped me fromcourse because I was busy during the summer at a family trip and she said I can make up all my assignments. I did do all my assignments and then I was suddenly dropped from the course I emailed her and asked why and it took 1 week for a response
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER! She left us on our own from the start and never responded to emails or would take days to reply. The deadlines were terrible (5p.m.). The class itself was very difficult and she never held zoom lectures. This has been the most difficult class I have taken and would not want anyone to go through this. Very stressful!
Easily the hardest and most stressful class I've ever taken. I dedicated over 32 hours/week in this class. If there is another professor teaching this class CHOOSE THEM! She won't teach anything but has no problem assigning a lot of homework every week even though it takes her FOREVER to grade them. Very rude when you have a question or concern.
This class was very difficult to take during the summer. We learn everything from the online book and hardly ever hear from the professor. I asked her a question through email and did not hear back for 3 weeks, and this is only an 8 week class. This class is doable but be prepared to commit a lot of time to this class, and read the book thoroughly!
I have a degree from this college. I have NEVER had a teacher this unorganized and unprofessional. Doesn't care if you need accommodations, will never answer emails. Heaven forbid you don't put your name, id number, class, and date on every single paper or she'll straight up give you a 60% with no hesitation. everything due at 5pm. Horrible.
Prof. Beale was probably the worst professor I have had at Delta. Her textbook is free but useless. Her homework is a lot and her due dates are at 10 a.m. What baffles me the most are her tests, they are nothing like the notes and pull random problems we never learned. Also good luck getting an email response from her.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! I took her class in Fall 2022 and it was HORRIBLE! I had no choice but to take a different class during the summer and unfortunately, only she teaches it. She never responds to emails and you learn all by yourself in this class she doesn't help at all. She sets you up for failure from the start. Should be fired.
I am highly dissatisfied with this professor's performance. The workload is excessive and assignments are not graded promptly making it impossible to track my progress. The professor does not actively teach the course, relying solely on YouTube videos. This lack of engagement and support is unacceptable.
The most worst prof. out there! She does not care about her students, you have to learn by your self. Does not respond to emails. She has a heavy work load of assignments. There are about 10 assignments per week and weekly caps with lots of work. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! STRESSFUL, there are prof. who care about their students and she doesn't care.
Take a diff professor, if not be ready for 10+ homework assignments a week, EXTENSIVE caps and DB, 10+ page syllabus, needing a header on every scanned page, or you'll get at most 60% credit (40% is knocked off when you don't), AND little to no response from the professor. All my assignments weren't graded until four days after the class ended.
Terrible, terrible, like absolutely terrible do not under any circumstance take ANY classes that she may offer. You really have to depend and learn on your own the material, not to mention she doesn't respond to emails which can be frustrating. There is also an abundance of work that must be done every week which is absolutely ridiculous.
She is the best teacher at Delta She really is a great teacher and you can easily asked her another question and she get back immediately. Her grading material is very clear and I really enjoyed learning about during multiplication by place value was something new i learn from this great teacher. I highly recommend students take her classes.
I had a family emergency in the beginning of the semester and missed a chunk of Homework and had medical record proof and was asking her to let me make up my homework all semester and she didn't let me instead she only gave me a bonus 30 points that did nothing. Beware this professor is self centered and wants you to fail. She has no consideration!
She is a nice person, I do enjoy her presence and how she runs the class, but sometimes I get tired of the group projects she has us doing. Some instructions were unclear to me, but it was not horrible to take her class. I wish she could do online though, all her classes are in person.
It is required to be in person, but she is caring and does help you when you struggle with the math.
She is the WORST DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. She expects so much from you it is best to take a professor from another college do not take her I regret taking her. She assigns so much homework and when I asked to drop the course, she said I couldn't because she doesn't have the authority what? She doesn't respond to emails and is hard to work with.
The material itself is not hard and the professor is nice, BUT she does not answer emails and gives a ton of homework that makes the class not worth it. If this is the only course you are taking, go for it. If you have other classes DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!
I was completely lost throughout the semester in her class. I felt like she didn't teach and I had to teach myself everything. She never gives any tests back and they're not even put in the grade book in canvas so you don't really know what your grade is. This class might as well have been an online class because the lectures weren't helpful.
Went well in June w/ quick emails & grading. I was confused by bad reviews but in July she took longer than 3 weeks to reply & didn't grade till the end. Pearson MyMathLab is optional so u dont need to buy it. Doesnt actively teach, relies on YouTube. Same format as STATS 12. Easy HS math + intro to calc. Decent prof but try someone else if you can
DON'T TAKE HER. Makes you teach yourself, but still expected to show up for lecture (but do bc there's graded work). SHE DOESN'T KEEP UP WITH GRADING. You won't know your grade till the semester's OVER. Doesn't give back any tests or physical worksheets. Especially if this is your FIRST calc class. DON'T.TAKE.HER.
I truly enjoyed being in her class. I loved listening to her stories and the advice she shared. Even though things fell a little behind at times, it was completely understandable since she was in the middle of moving. Wishing Professor Beale the best of luck on her new journey!
