very easy to understand, straightforward, and helpful. she really cares about her students. a great teacher to have if you have trouble w/ math! she's awesome!

She is very helpful and recovers any material that you ask. If you ask for help, she'll give it. Great teacher. I'd take any class she teaches.

Applied Calc is pretty easy if you go to class and pay attention. Not too much studying required, espicall if you took calc in high school.

She explained where the formulas come from and gives several examples. She made it very easy to understand.

SOOOOOOOO EASY

good teacher. fairly willing to help. pretty easy B.

kinda blah....but then again i don't like math so much. lots of examples, easy homework, practice tests which are very helpful. she even adds a bit of humor to the lectures sometimes. good class

Great teacher! Very nice and very helpful! There's a ton and a half of homework but the class is so damn easy!

She makes it pretty straight forward how to do well~~ but do your damn homework otherwise youll do sucky.. and shes hot too

She explains math clearly, but she gives homwework every class!you have to do the average study

Oh my gosh, she is one of the nicest professors ever. I was always decent in math, I made B's in high school but she explains it soooo clearly and if you ever need any help she is really willing to give it. I made over a 100 on every test but one. She is amazingly clear and a wonderful teacher!

The best teacher to take for Topics. Very easy and clear. Gives a review sheet that is identical to the test minus the exact numbers. Easy A take rittby!

I loved her topics class. If you have a 100% b4 the final you don't have to take it! I am signed up for her clac class next semester, I can't wait!

I am horriable in Math but made an A in this class. She goes though everything step by step and is a wonderful teacher! There is a lot of homework but HELLO...IT'S MATH! She's the best Math teacher that TCU has right now so take her!!!

If you've had calculus in high school, this class will be a breeze for you. If not, get ready for a pretty fast paced environment. If you don't study, you WILL NOT DO WELL in this class.

She is a good teacher, she teaches like she teaches her 3yr old son. But it does get harder as you go and you need to do the homework and understand it!

She is a very good teacher. She explains each topic thourougly. There is extra credit opportunity and the test are just like the practice tests that she gives. I recommend her!

Pretty much like high school. the teacher understands it, teaches fast, and then gives you ten homework problems every night. The homework covers about 40% of the test material. The rest...you're on your own because she thinks you should "apply" what you learn cus it's called Applied Calc.

She's pretty much the best teacher ever! Loved her class. She really simplified instructions so that I sometimes caught myself spacing out but I know it helps a lot of people who do not just love math and struggle with it.

Good class. This was her first section. The tests were reasonable. I took Cal in high school, so this class was a review. Clear concepts, homework every day, quizzes on Friday.

Took it my first semester to get it out of the way because I loathe math. She's very helpful, easy to understand, and the class really isn't very difficult. Do the work, study a little for the tests, and you'll do fine.

She is the best math teacher I have ever had! Math is definitely not my forte, but she gives you a ton of relevant examples and is very eager to help you outside of class. If she taught quantum physics, I could probably make an A. I highly recommend her if you are not a strong math student.

I would have to say she is the best teacher i have ever had. I have always been good at math, but she was able to make me do great. She has a great and easy teaching style is helpful to any students. I liked her so much im taking her again next semester. She is also really pretty.

Very Nice person. Take her class if you can. I took with her the applied calculus and she really care. Tests are not that easy but they're not hard. Do the homeworks.

Very helpful, if you go to class and do the homework you should be fine. Easy B, need to put out some effort for the A

One of the best teachers I have had. Really enjoyed this class even though math was not my favorite. Daily graded homework, make sure you do it. Gives good notes and explanations so go to class. If you need help go to office hours, very helpful. Notices those students who try

I love Dr. Rittby she is so helpful and so nice. My class wasnt so great but she handeled it very well. I would def recomend this prof to anyone! Nice looking teacher too.

she is a pretty good techer and very clear on her examples, however she makes you feel kinda dumb in class if you have a question. Your gonna have like five problems every night and attendance is not mandatory, but its easy to get behind. I found it easy to use the books examples for the hmwk. Also she is willing to help most of the time.

I really enjoyed this class but I like math. I asked questions in class often and she never looked at me like I was crazy. I would even call to check and see if I answered a particularly hard question correctly. If you go to class and study the book when you can't figure some of the questions out it shouldn't be too hard.

I enjoyed this class very much. She always has her office open if you need help and doesn't make you feel like you're hopeless. This class is not an easy A, you're going to have to do the homeworks and take notes. I highly recommend taking any math class that she's available in.

She is very nice, very smart. She does not care if you do not go to class or not. It is easy, but I like math. I think it is still easy for people who don't. There are 5 tests, so your grade is evenly given. I would recommend her for pre-calc or calc. I would defintely take her again.

Amazing teacher! So willing to help if you come to her. Explains all of the lectures very well. HIGHLY recommend going to class bc you can easily get behind. Go to class and do hw and should get an A!

She is a GREAT teacher, it was my second time taking this class after receiving a D in the first one and with Dr. Rittby as the teacher I got an A-, not too shabby!! She makes all the material understandable, and is always willing to help. She even goes out of her way to type up some notes and emails them if you need some extra help. :)

Good teacher, fun and keeps the class going. Tests can be difficult, but they are ok if you study. She is also very helpful out of class if you need help. I would definitely recommend taking Rittby

Topics----Amazing Professor! My favorite at TCU! Our grades were the opposite of a bell curve, basically some students got A+'s on all tests and others failed all the tests. There are 4 tests and homework due the day of each test. Helpful and clear professor! Amazing teacher! So nice!

I love her! I took calculus the year before and didnt understand anything. Once taking her class it was a breeze. I really understand everything that she teaches and the way she explains things makes it enjoyable to learn!

I loved her class she is very organized and helpful.She is clear about the material. Please take her!

Mrs. Rittby is a good teacher. I has her for Pre-Calc and am having her Calculus class nest semester with her. It is always clear on the test dates and what assignments are due and when. She is always willing to help you if you need help.

Mrs. Rittby is the best math teacher ever. She explains EVERYTHING and she is very organized and loves all of her students. She will also help outside of class

Very nice & helpful. Try to take her if possible

Had her for calculus.. so helpful and did a great job at explaining the material. you need to go to class to understand the material.. Im not too good at math and ended up with a B+ definitely take her!

Take her topics in math class! I am awful at math & she was SO helpful. I took this class for the math credit & am so glad I took it with her. She is so sweet, patient, & will help you out.

Class 10054: Really easy class... too easy really. Lost interest quickly because the topics discussed during class were infinitely more basic than some of the homework; led to a few skips. If you're bad with math, though, she's a great teacher, incredibly thorough and really nice.

Professor Rittby did a really good job. She explained everything really well and graded leniently. Overall, she made this class understandable for everybody. Homework isn't very hard and tests comes altered versions of the homework problems. Take her class, you won't be disappointed.

Took class in summer. I would not recommend this if you want an A. I only received a low A and I worked my tail off to even do that. Work with a group to study and help each other. From what I understand the class is much easier if taken during the normal school year.

She made learning Pre-Calc super easy. My favorite part of the class was that she actually explained why we use specific formulas and rules on the white board. For the first time in my life I get math.

She is a great teacher I'll give her that much. The lectures, and million homework problems come in handy. My biggest problem with her class was the tests were twice as hard and the stuff she did in class.Like 1 + 1 = 2. We'll do in class with easy then see -2sin(arctan pi/2) *graph and explain why you chose these points* on the test. WTH!!!

Material is really hard if your not a math wiz. She does a really good job teaching the class but you really must do the homework well and study hard to get good grades. Four tests 60%, final exam 30%, homework 10%.

Prof Rittby makes Topics in Math super easy and honestly lowkey fun. She makes sure all her students succeed if they put in the work. She knows that most people don't like math in this class, so she makes it as easy as she can.

Professor Rittby is a great professor. She is really sweet to connect with students. If you go to office hours she will help you with any questions. If you do not attend class, you can rewatch lectures. She grades homework based on the techniques and process that's taught. Really easy! If you pay attention and do homework you should be good.

Kristi made calculus a lot less intimidating that I initially thought. Sometimes quiz material and class material don't match up, but the homeworks usually do, and if you're stuck she'll help you. Also after class she post the whiteboard notes. Her lectures are pretty easy to understand, and if you do the homeworks you'll probably pass the class.

Professor Rittby is a caring person and a thorough teacher. Her class is lecture and note-based. It is important to go to class in order to succeed on the tests, but it is not required. She gives detailed feedback on assignments and is available to meet outside of class time. Although she is a harsh grader, she is a great teacher and I would recomm

I reccomend professor Rittby to everyone. I took her for pre calculus this semester and am planning on taking her for calculus next semester. I took her 8am Tuesday/Thursday (take it later if you can it was brutal) but each class you take notes then you have homework assignments to do. 3 tests (all similar to study guide) & final. TAKE HER !!

I took Prof. rittby for precalc as well as applied calc. I feel that she is the best calculus teacher at TCU. At first I was in another teachers class but dropped. Prof. rittby goes slow which I love.The class itself is difficult but she gives a ton of partial credit and is very understanding. 2 test plus final, mylab and written homework.

Professor Rittby was an incredible Pre-Calculus teacher. She's super understanding and was extremely helpful when I went to her office hours. She's uplifting and it isn't hard to see that she really does care about each and every student she teaches. Definitely recommend her from Pre-Calculus.

Hi, I just got an A+ for this class. To be honest, this class will have a lot of homework to do. But for me it is very easy and don't take a lot of time to complete. In this class, you will need to finish 6 tests and the final. But if you have an A for 5 or 6 tests, you don't need to take the final. This is the great class ever. Take her.

She is a great professor. Gives a lot of online homework, no textbook. I didn't have to take the final at the end of the year because I had an A in the class. Go to her office hours. Super friendly and willing to help, and will reopen online quizzes if you run out of attempts but know what you did wrong.

Be wary of negative reviews. The material is hard, but teaching and communication is superb. This is not just a math class - but a mathematical reasoning class. The professor expects you to demonstrate your understanding... not every problem will look exactly like the practice test. She gets to know her students well in office hours, go to them!

Rittby is really good at explaining content. Her lecture notes are always posted after class and have lots of examples, if you can't figure it out from that she is also easy to reach. Yes, attendance is optional but she is very helpful in person.

I love Rittby. Any calc class will have some tough content, but she is always willing to help you when you're struggling. Go to class, pay attention and go to office hours if you need. I took Rittby for pre calc and calc and I love her for both. Highly reccomend!

I took her for my freshman year of Applied Precalculus. She gives clear notes on all of the separated courses that are needed to know. There is however lots of homework, and sometimes it get overwhelming because theres so much content. I personally struggle in math, I'm just terrible at it, but she does give you lots of resources to do better.

This class is difficult but manageable. Office hours are a must as everything in this class is accuracy based even written homework. Very picky on work so go over it with her before submitting. Some tests are difficult and some are easy. An A is very achievable but you have to work hard to get it. Very nice teacher though and is there to help you.

I ended up with an A with little effort and only going to class once a week. Highly recommend her!!! She may give you a lot of homework but it's just because she want you to succeed.
