The only reason she doesn't have a "5" for easy is because it is calc. Most people who come into this course have taken calc previously. Since I am not one of those people the class is tough but Hipp explains through the work in a very easy to understand way. If you have any issues she is always happy to help. I would definitely take her again.

Professor Hipp is a great teacher! The material is a little tough if you have no background in calculus. If you do, then this class is a breeze. She gives super easy 5 question quizzes and only 3 exams that are very similar to the reviews. Homework is optional and she gives extra credit if you do it. Also if you have an A, you exempt the final.

Best intro calc teacher take her if you can!! She offers extra credit if you do the online homework and go to class. Also, if you make an earned A (without extra credit) you'll exempt the exam. Im not a math person but she made calc easy. Going to her office hours definitely helps. If you do the study guide for the tests they're pretty similar.

Professor Hipp is a really nice lady! Really cares about your grade, so much that if your final grade is higher than your lowest test grade she'll drop the lowest grade.

Would take again

Mrs.Hipp is the sweetest professor and will make sure you pass. Quizzes and exams are straight forward (quizzes only like 5 questions and exams only 20 questions) and you able to drop your lowest quiz at the end of the semester. Super easy to reach and is always there to answer any questions. I would definitely take her if you have the option to!
