The worksheets she makes are 100X better than the book. Tests are in same form as worksheets, I can't think of one negative thing to say about her.

Worksheets make the lessons easier to follow and understand. Her explaination of material is outstanding. She is always willing to make herself available to her students. Take-home assignments correspond with the days lesson and homework. She is Great!

best math teacher.. she is verry example oriented, gives step by step instructions which are easy to follow. she works out the examples more than once so you can see the process enough times to get it down. A+A+A+A+A+A+A+A+ Teacher

She is a great teacher. I have taken her twice. She is really cool but both semesters she had 1 bad day when she flipped out on someone who was giving her a hard time.I recomend her.

Great teacher! uses alot of worksheets, which are easy to use and study from. One of the best MATH teachers I have ever had.

Mrs. Trefrey is the absolute best teacher I have ever had. She is clear, precise, and really nice. But don't disrespect her she will put you in your place. She is wonderful, all her tests come stragiht from her notes. I highly recommend her!!!!!!!!!

Very Clear instruction. Easy to follow and learn from. I highly recommend this instructor.

her class is very easy because she doesnt teach fromt he book instead she uses worksheets and. Her test are straight from those. She gives extra points if youre not absent also and they are used towards test. Cool teacher

If you've never understood math, she's the teacher to take. I've never understood algebra until now! Take Trefry you will understand algebra w/her handouts and notes.

She helped me to understand math in 6 weeks. I wish she taught the other classes I need. I kept her handouts and use them as a resource a lot. I even make copies for friends who are in crummy math classes. Take her and don't miss class. She gives extra credit for that.

Great teaching styles. Makes it really easy for you to understand, and helps you when you don't quite understand things.

very good teacher, explains things very clearly, there hasnt been one thing that I havent understood,

Mrs. Trefrey is the absolute best teacher I've ever had. If you want a professor that cares and that really explains things to you she is the one. I highly recommend her. Turn around time for returing tests is less than a week. Class highly passable.

Pro Trefry was awesome! I highly recommend anyone who doesn't fully understand algebra to take her! She is very helpful and very clear about the lessons. She gives extra credit on tests if you don't miss class (enough so that I got A's!) and if you're there everyday, there is no way you will fail this class. Only bad thing: she does group labs...

EXCELLENY TEACHER!i took her last semester and she was very helpful.shes always willing to help u out and explains things very well.she gives u a handout for every lesson so u have stuff to look over b4 u take a test.she is very flexible as long as u keep her up 2 date.

she is a really good teacher. I took intermediate algebra in fall A 2005, and i recomend her.

Happy math teachers are hard to find. Prof. Trefrey is great. If you don't like math, and you don't want to be miserable while you take it, take her. It's still math, you'll still have to do the work, but she is very clear, very willing to help students, and generally quite cheery. Highly recomended.

She was very clear, and made the class easy. She was very happy too.

Trefry is one of those teachers that is always smiling. She makes math fun. Her lectures are very clear and easy to understand. She gives you 5 points added to each test just for showing up to class. High reccomend her!

She is a very nice lady. But she makes the class easy. TOO EASY! it made me want to fall asleep. She acts like you didn't go to high school at all. She thinks you are an idiot in math and goes VERY VERY slow throughout the course. No challenge at all. I got an A without even trying...you learn all this stuff in 8th grade!! EASY CLASS

she is very nice and is always smiling her work is so easy and she does not give alot. she is very easy to understand

overall i like her!

I am a single parent working, going to school and pregnant again. She was very understanding and if I needed extra help she was there. I loved her class although my friends hated it. If your not so good in math and need it broken down like a high schooler then she is the one.

She is kind of boring. Moves fairly fast, not extremely helpful but will answer questions. Reviews ANY questions you have the day before test. Gives 5 points extra credit on test if you have attended every class. Don't be late it gets on her nerves. If you are good at math take her. She gives a lesson packet for each day and goes over it with you.

Mrs. Trefry was a GREAT math teacher. She relates to everyone really well and explains things clearly. Im HORRIBLE at math, but she passes out packets and goes through everything with you. I plan to take her again.

Good teacher overall, she prints out lessons for you to work along with her in class so you don't have to take notes which was nice. Pretty easy and helpful I would take her agian if I could

TAKE HER! I have such a hard time with math and she is so helpful. Take advantage of her office hours she will practically give you the answers for your labs. She assigns labs and homework each week, 3 tests. She gives 5 extra credit points on test for attendance. She is a real nice lady and a great teacher.

I have a hard time understanding math sometimes and she made it so easy for me. She gives you a lab and a homework assignment due every week (you get about a week or more to do each) and those help you prepare for the tests. She's very good at explaining things and will always go back over material you don't understand. Take her class!

TAKE HER! She is EXTREMELY helpful! There are 3 tests and a cumulative final. She gives at a lab and homework assignment once a week. Its a lot of work, but what do you expect? Go to her office and she will practically give you the answers on the labs. She is SO SWEET. I hate math and Im terrible at it, but I will get a B+ because of her.

get teacher!! she take her time to really break things done giving you the chance to really understand!!!

I like her. I had not taken a math class in 20 years. I took this course online and was very nervous. I got an a. Laura was very quick to respond to questions.

I am currently in her MAC1105 class and I have an A. Never happened! She gives handouts and makes it easy to comprehend and follow. I actually get this stuff the way she teaches. I also like using MyMathLab. She is very quick to respond to emails when you have a question as well. If you arent a math person I recommend taking her.

Super nice and give you five extra credit points on every test all you have to do it attend class. The labs are slightly hard but she drops a lot of homework and quizzes. Highly recommend her.

BEST TEACHER EVA

I am not a math person, so the class was naturally hard for me. I took her online class, but she was so incredibly helpful! Before the final, I had a C+. I never expected to do that well. If you have questions, she will go above and beyond just answering them. This is the teacher to have if you don't understand math and need extra help!

so HELPFUL! i hattttte math, and she made it easy and fun to learn. you can earn extra credit for each test and there is hardly any homework. deff recommend her!

She is a very helpful instructor that is always willing to give extra help outside of class. I never struggled with math until College Algebra but she made a hard task possible with good teaching and a willingness to explain the topics in the course.

Easy class. Tests are easy if you study for an hour. Thats all you need. Show up and study review tests are almost the same. EASY A

She is an awesome professor. She is very helpful and homework is optional but she does give worksheets and partner work all semester which really helps build grade. I would reccomend taking her to anyone she made precalc really easy.

Go to class and do the assignments and you should have no problem getting an A. She explains everything very thoroughly. Definitely take her!

Make sure to attend all classes or you're screwed. Her class is not the easiest but she cares about her students. She wants to see everyone pass and will help you whenever you need it. Catch her after class or in her office and she will try to answer your questions to her best ability.

She is a very helpful teacher. She will stay after class to work with u. She hates when students come to class a minute late and talking during class. She is a great teacher with lots of assignments. Perfect Attendance is 5 bonus points on the test.

Her class is not the easiest, but if you keep up with the work and can teach yourself you will do fine. This is a online class and you should be able to teach yourself. She lays it out pretty well before the class starts. The test come from the labs so study them. I think I looked something up in the book one time.

I got a D in her class but I was passing the entire semester until the last 2 weeks. You have to study A LOT for the tests and show up to class. It's not TOO hard, but it isn't easy either. If I would have tried just a little harder I could have passed. She's a great teacher though, she did help out a lot and she's very very sweet

Awesome teacher. If you need help, she'll sit down with you an walk you through exactly what you need. I highly recommend taking her if you struggle in math, she'll do all she can to help you out. Great teacher overall.

Trefry is extremely thorough in lectures, has plenty of office hours, and is more than willing to help. Perfect attendance between exams will ensure 5 bonus points on each. Take-home labs are due weekly and there are a ton of MyMathLab assignments -she drops a few low scores. Exams are a little tough, but studying labs and class notes got me an A.

Strives to help you understand content, very nice lady. Nervous about online math, but overall not so bad. MyMathLab offers unlimited practice and breaks down problems to help when you get stuck. Group labs due once a week (also not as bad as I thought), same with HW. 4 exams come from labs/HW. Practice tests before exam with unlimited attempts.

I would not say that the class is hard. The instructions are clear and mymathlab is all you need for the class. I took this class online and I felt that she puts in a great deal of effort to make sure the student has an abundance of resources. Probably the best you will get when it comes to an online course. I would recommend her.

I highly recommend this professor. I took her online class and found it very organized. College algebra is not easy but the program is set up to help you along the way. Must be dedicated to do this online but if not I would recommend to take Prof. Trefry's class on campus. She is very helpful!

Perfect attendance assures you 5 extra credit points on each test! Very particular on homework assignments. Great teacher overall.

I took this class online and it was awesome. You have to keep up with the video lectures and handouts that explain how to do the problems, they are very helpful and straightforward. Professor Trefry is really nice and answers emails quickly. I would definitely recommend her for College Algebra :)

She is an amazing teacher. If you are going to be taking a math class at this campus then she is my top choice. She is very helpful and teaches everything in a understandable way.

Mrs. Trefry is a pretty good teacher. If you attend every class she will give you 5 extra credit points on tests so that helped me a lot. She explains everything and she is a fair grader. The only thing I don't like about this course is you can't use a calculator on tests or the final so if you like using a calculator don't take this course.

I loved Mrs. Trefry! She was extremely nice and helpful. She provides weekly lectures (with powerpoints) to help you. I never opened my book. Everything is done through My Math Lab and you are required to do a weekly group lab, along with a personal lab. Be sure to study! I definitely recommend Mrs. Trefry.

Trefry is awesome! She gives a ton of homework, but I'm actually thankful for that because it helped me understand the material better. She explains everything well, and always makes sure the class understands before moving on. If you have perfect attendance, she adds 5 extra points to each test grade. Normally I hate math, but I liked this class.

Professor Trefry is extremely nice and helpful. Her class is taught thru my math lab however she does provide weekly power point lectures over the weeks material. There is also a weekly personal lab and a weekly group lab. Your test scores make up a lot of your grade.

Trefry is an amazing professor! She is very kind and 100% willing to help you and make sure you understand. She doesn't move too fast and she gives plenty of examples. The tests are very straight forward if you understand the material. She gives 5 points extra credit every test if you show up to class every day. I absolutely recommend her!

This was the easiest class I have ever taken. Only complaint is that the homework takes extremely long, she makes you write out the problem/question every single time and if you miss class, you cannot turn in late assignments. Otherwise, very easy A (for most people).

Mrs. Trefry was very nice, for the tests you should know that they are based on the labs and "showme's", looking at her lectures (at least the practice problems) was a life saver. Practice tests/quizzes don't really resemble the tests, but still helpful. Her tests resembled the final so make sure you study HER tests and not the online practice ones

Gives a lot of hw which you have to copy word for word but it really helps you understand the material better! You also will need a packet that contains class assignments and the test reviews. If you study the test reviews, you'll pass the test! Extremely helpful but don't miss class, you'll get lost quick if you do.

Easy class, a lot of homework. Drops 3 of your lowest grades on homework/classwork. Does not drop tests.

Professor Trefry was great. I have never been a good student when it comes to math but she is a awesome professor. Show up to class and do your homework and you're good to go. She replaces your lowest test grade with the final and drops your lowest three assignments. I was beyond thankful for her this semester!!

This class was great. She explains things well and will help you if you need it by going around after lecture. There is a ton of home work but it isn't worth many points if you miss some. Test contain same stuff we learned in class and isn't difficult if you come to class and pay attention.

Definitely one of the best professors I've had thus far. Her exams are everything you learned in class so it's nothing that's different, there's a lot of packets she gives us to work on but they're extremely helpful to help you better understand the material.

The only bad thing about her class was the online program she used for homework, it had many errors in the coding and did not state most questions clearly. She was a great teacher and made the class much easier than anticipated.

Your weighted average is composed of 30% weekly homework, 45% three tests, 25% final exam. Five hw assignments due per week can be a lot, but if you complete to 100% and understand it, you will get As on the tests. with mathlab help, i barely had to look at lessons, didnt use the book once. If you put the effort every week, you can easily get an A.

Professor Trefry's a great professor. I would take her class again. The class was easy, but you would have write everything out the textbook word for word. If you didn't understand something or struggled with a math problem, just go to her office during her office hours and she will help you. first come first serve.

Professor Trefry was a really good professor, she was really helpful when you were unsure about a problem. She seems to really care. I WOULD recommend you take her.

By far the best online class I've ever taken. I was hesitant to take a online math course, but professor Trefry made it easy. She posts all the notes needed online, lecture videos, & example problems. She gives multiple extra credit questions on exams. I was able to make like a 108 in this course, & I am not a math person! Take her for Algebra!!!

Amazing Lectures. If you know how to add and subtract, you´ll be fine.

Professor Trefry was one of the best math professors I have had. She is amazing and teaches very well. I went to her many times during office hours and she was always willing to help. Her tests and finals are exactly like the practice examples she does in class. Labs can be challenging, but they are helpful when trying to grasp a topic.

Taking Prof. Trefry was a solid experience. There is a good amount of homework, so be prepared. There were some times in class when I was confused, but she's more than willing to explain if you ask. If you attend all classes between one test and the next, you get an extra 5 points added onto your score which which was a life saver.

I loved Trefry as my PreCalc professor. I know some of the students in my class felt as that she was rude, but she didnt rub me that way at all. Trefry was always accessible during office hours and willing to help if you came with questions. 9/10 would reccomend this professor

I took Professor Trefry for Precalc in Fall 2017. Her teaching style is very straightforward; she demonstrates her notes, we do some group work, and then she gives the answers to the group work. When I took the class, she had us get into a group with lab partner, and I was lucky enough to have a wonderful partner. I actually enjoyed her lectures.

I really enjoyed her class. I wish I would have gotten a better grade. This was not because of her. She made things really great and clear. All this was really new to me and I am proud of the grade that I got. If you have any questions, she is always there to help you. She is the one to take if you are looking for some great guidance in mathematics

She's very good at explaining the lessons and is willing to help you understand it more. Her homework labs are graded hard but for a good reason. If you don't show all your work you will get points off. I've gotten the hang of how she grades so i'm doing well in the class which is easy since she's a GREAT teacher.

Explains and simplifies concepts in a manner that makes it easy to understand. You have to do more work on your own to fully grasp the concepts.

Super straight-forward with the guided notes which makes doing the labs and homework a lot easier. I recommend this class to people who are willing to work to pass. You WILL NOT pass if you don't come to class and don't show work on labs/tests the specific way she wants it. Super tedious work, but its worth it to take her if you really wanna learn.

I was very nervous before taking her class because of her ratings on here, but I just finished my semester with her, and will confidently say she was one of the best math teachers I've had. She explained things in class very well and didn't move on until she made sure everybody understood. Very funny and caring. 100% recommend.

Prof. Trefry is awesome, she is lovely and will do anything to see her students succeed if they show they are trying. The notes without the lectures look incomprehensible, and there's a reason why she grades attendance, it matters heavily. The tests are a big part of the grade but if you attend class and read the book you should be able to pass.

Perfect professor for someone who just wants clear instruction and straight forward homework. Homework is easy and she is very good about helping you during her office hours. Just show her that you want to do well and she will help you.

As someone who is not skilled in the math department this class was a LIFESAVER. Super easy subjects, I was basically finishing the homework in class. Great professor, teaches well and is personable.

Participation matters, but doing the homework and following along with the course material presented in class is more important. Professor Trefry explains the formulas and the way to solve problems really well. She shows you how to do the work, and she gives ample time to complete the homework assignments. It's almost impossible to fail her class.

Trefry is cool, good sense of humor.

Dr. Trefry is an amazing teacher. She is patient and never makes anyone feel stupid for their questions or not understanding. She takes her time to make sure everyone is understanding.

I really don't see why professor Trefry is receiving hate. She was amazing for my class. Sure she can grade hard if you don't show all your work but she also grades your work if you don't get the question right. She was very accessible during office hours I never had a problem.

Professor Trefry can be tough, but if you put in the effort and follow her system, you'll do well. The tests are challenging, so using tools like unstuck study alongside the textbook and attending class is crucial. Overall, a rewarding class if you're willing to work hard.

She was very nice, sometimes snobby, but overall patient when lecturing and gives decent references. Homework was nearly daily but it was very easy and even easier to be able to get ahead.

I took Mathematical Thinking with Trefry and it's already an easy enough math as it is. But she explained everything great in lectures and has a workbook you follow along with. Her structure of homework, labs, and tests really help you learn the material to the point where I usually don't have to study for tests. She only wants you to succeed and

As someone who hates math, I loved Trefry. She explains things clearly, gives good examples, and always answers questions. Attendance is a grade, so you need to show up. Weekly homework and labs but they're not hard and it's very easy to get ahead. Tests are a big part of your grade, so be sure to study for them. Overall a great system and teacher

She does not belittle you and helps a lot during class. She does make a few mistakes when doing the notes but with them being guided you can work ahead if needed. The tests make or break your grade as well do the projects. I highly advise going to the tutoring center for projects and not her office!

I'm confused by the bad ratings. Yes tests and projects can be difficult, but Trefy was always willing to help me and my classmates with whatever questions we had.There is a homework/lab every class which is annoying but they help you study. She explains things well and has a good system with her material. She is one of the better professors at SF.

Attendnce is only 5% of the grade so u dont NEED to show up but you probably should, otherwise her work was super easy and she's really nice and will walk you through something one on one if needed, if i need another math class later down the line i'd definetly take her again.

I loved this teacher! She was very helpful and always took the time to explain if asked! She is super sweet and a great sense of humor! Would definitely recommend her!
