Hauser teaches really fast and doesn't really give you any time to think when she's teaching the material. She then expects you to understand everything and do practice problems and gets frustrated when the whole class still has no idea what she's talking about. She's tough, but if you learn fast i bet it wont be that difficult.

i took pre calc in high school and it was so easy for me but i had to re take it and dr hauser expects you to know material without going over it before. she's very fast paced and tests are only approx. 12-15 questions so it's hard to do well on those. she does have a lot of opportunity for extra cred but overall would not recommend.

Sometimes she wasn't clear and she would often rush through problems. I sat in the front, so getting help was easy. But the people sitting in the back couldn't really reach her, so they were often lost. The best part about her is that she gives easy extra credit. Participation is extra credit. An online quiz is extra credit. Etc.

Talks to you like you're stupid if you don't understand and doesn't show all her work. Most of her solutions don't make much sense but if you do the hw you should be fine

stay away at all costs. exams are impossible and you need to put in about 16 hours a week outside of class to even get a C. I have received As on 2 exams and still am barley passing this course. She does not care about her students and wants to put in bare minimum work herself. Put students into breakout rooms all class to teach each-other.

Puts you into break out rooms for the entirety of class and makes students teach themselves. Homework is watching her go through the powerpoint presentation. Unforgiving. Won't accept responsibility if she messes up and miscommunicates something (which happens frequently)

I had to spend countless hours teaching myself everything for this class. She would go over maybe one problem, then out use into "breakout groups" for 55 out of the 70 minutes of class. She assigns insane amounts of homework and has no sympathy for any student. Overall she was my least favorite professor of all time and her policies are unfair.

Most unorganized class I've ever been in. There is no structure to the class she throws numbers on the board from a problem that no one knows where it came from. She can not explain things and get annoyed when asked a question. One problem she started doing and her herself could not figure it out so she just skipped it entirely. Do not recommend

Do not take it with Dr Hauser. Class is unorganized, she does not teach. Jumps around to random problems. Expects everyone to know the material, and if you don't too bad. Highly recommend you take MAT225 with someone else. Only positive is she drops your lowest grade

Professor Hauser is a good professor, however she is somewhat cold at first. She wants you to watch videos in order to learn the content before you come to class, but if you don't do that you are still able to learn. The tests are much easier than MML assignments and you can easily pass if you put some effort into studying and doing the reviews.
