She is hella bomb... She never boms me out!!! i really like her teaching techniques!!! i'll give her 20 Kudos....
really, really cool teacher. i highly reccomend her!
looks like she has upped her quality of teaching since i took her before she got into teaching at city. back in those days 1/2 her class was not showing a standard bell cuve and she was gone a lot on learning how to "become a better teacher." too bad i wasn't granted the privliage of her extra training.
I like her as a teacher. She show you related skills to help you understand the new concepts. Keeps class interesting with her bubbly attitude, can be a bit of a smart-ass. I totally recommend taking her.
shes an easy going teacher shes funny and tries to relate with her students i highly recommend her as a teacher
mrs b is a fine teacher of math. so 1-derful that my daughter who struggles will be taking her next semester with math 103. higly recommend mrs b. if the classes are full she will usually allow peeps to sit in as long as they don't miss. many peeps take her in succesion of classes-to the point they will not take another teacher, i can see why.gr8
She is an extremely good teacher. She is really clear about what she is teaching and gives really nice notes. Her tests are kind of hard but she is always willing to help everybody! Highly recommended
Blackerby-Slater couldn't teach her way out of a box. What a joke! She's the worst intermediate Algebra instructor at FCC. I'm a 3.4 student and I failed her class. I took Math 103 in summer accelerated session, and passed with nearly an A.
My favorite math teacher EVER! She made things very easy. I love the fact that we had a notebook with notes, not only did that help us but we got credit for it at the end of the semester. She's an awesome teacher. Don't pass her up please.
Blackerby-Slater is an extremely effective Math teacher. I never taken algebra before, but I got an A in her 4-week summer session. Her outlines and notes are GREAT! Credit is given for notes. Makes things interesting - I was never bored in her class. She is nice and has a great personality, too.
Excellent teacher!! Mrs. B has a wonderful way of making algebra easy. I am a returning student and haven't used algebra since the early 80's and her methods and explainations made her class awesome! I highly recommend this instructor to anyone, but especially to students who are intimidated or struggle with math.
Excellent teacher. Probably the best teacher at Fresno City for Math. She keeps it easy to understand so you know the concept.
Mrs. B is hands down the best math teacher at FCC. Very nice and helpful. If you struggle with math, then Mrs. B is for you. Her math lectures are very easy to follow and understand.
She's very helpful and such a nice lady. Sh makes math so understanding. She's an overall great teacher. Gives homework everyday but it helps prepare you for the test. Tests are based on the homework. I reccommend her for everyone, you will not be disappointed.
BEST math teacher at FCC! Funny,lovely,makes math super easy to understand.For dummies, explains on a 1st grade level.Tests are easy. HW short & easy,just do it. She just makes u love math, or at least like! She will break it down,so that u get it. Anyway, try in advance to get it, cuz she's so aaawesome!
Mrs. B is an awesome math teacher. I really hate math and she made me willing and able to approach it in a positive way. She breaks it down into terms that are very easy to understand. I will follow her as far as I can in math. Plus she has a great personality too! Take her; you won't regret it I promise.
I would definitely recommend Mrs. B; she is awesome! Very lovely with a great sense of humor. The condensed summer course was tough, but she made it fun and easy to understand. Would liked to have taken her for 101 in the Fall but she only had a 7am class. Will definitely be taking her for 103 in Spring 2011.
What can I say Mrs. B, is Awesome. I had her for math 255 in summer and in fall for Math 101.
Mrs. B is great i have her for math 101. I also had her for math255, she makes math easy.
I hate math. Even tho i failed she made it fun. And she is hella hot straight up sometimes your in class and not even focusing on the board. Guys take this class if you want a hot math teacher
This is my second semester with Mrs. B and she did not disappoint. She's a fantastic teacher, really spells it out so you can not only get it but pass the tests with a great grade! Being an older, adult student, she was fantastic. I will take her again for 103 as unfortunately she's not teaching 101 next semester :(. Cannot recommend her ENOUGH
Ms. B is the best math teacher I have ever had. She uses everyday practical examples to help people understand math. She had more returning students in her classes (that had moved up form a lower level math to a higher one) then you could imagine. She is fantastic if you do the work you will pass.
Excellent instructor. I would say she is the best Math instructor at FCC. I was in her 260 class all the way up to 103. You will definitely want to take her for Math if you are struggling or if you are good at Math either way, she's a great instructor for you.
She is the most wonerful teacher. if you show up to class, you will pass ! Miss "B" has a special way of teaching, its hard to explain but it WORKS. She makes the class fun too ! I will take all my math classes with her, I wouldn't have it any other way. And yes she is very HOT !
Awesome.
I loved being in her class, it was a breeze for me because I am very decent in math. She is very motivated with tests (a secret surprise for 100%). I wish I could take her class again someday, her and her class are great things to look forward to. Need help? Don't be shy to ask.
Mrs.B is the best. She knows what works for students and she is always there to help help. Mrs. B has made me appreciate math and I think every student should experience having her for a teacher. The bad thing is that she doesn't teach past math 103. I hope one day she writes a math book and other teachers learn her teaching skills. SHE ROCKS!!!
she very nice person and cool tescher she always there when you need help and will always make you understand step to math
Great teacher. Her approach is to make you understand they why in math. Her notes are great, do your homework, so you retain what she teaches. Don’t miss a day, but if you do she’ll help you. Unlike other teachers her office hours are for her students. I suggest you go as often as possible. Highly recommend her! The B stands for the Best!!!
Mrs. Blackerby/Slater moves really fast, but she break the math subject down so that you can understand it a little better.
She may seem like an easy teacher but she isn't. She is more interested in covering all the material in the book than actually getting her students to understand it. Tests change all the time and the little extra credit is useless because of all the points possible in the class.
She was one of the best teacher I ever had. I loved Math after her class. She is so helpful.
I took the 6 week summer course. Be advised that it is VERY FAST PACED. This was only my second math class since high school (its been 17 years since I took any math class) and I had never received a grade other than a D in any math class. I have always had trouble with math and I ended up with a B. I enjoyed her class.
She was my first math teacher here at college and I had such a great experience. She did everything to help me and worked with me with any problems I had.
Mrs. B is an excellent professor! Her class consists of taking notes for each chapter which in turn helps you to complete the homework, and prepares you for exams and the final. She consistently ensures key concepts are understood as she goes through examples in class. In addition, she is always available for help outside of her scheduled hours.
Mrs. B was a great instructor. You must take notes and she does give A LOT of examples. These are extremely helpful when it comes do to doing your homework and at test time. I would take her for every Math class if I could. If you have the chance to get in to her class, I recommend doing so.
She is a wonderful teacher. She is very good on her lectures and very structured. Everyday is something new, so you do not want to miss any days. Very understanding and willing to give you the push that is needed to succeed in her class.
She is the greatest teacher ever, makes everything so simple even the word problems... I took her class during the summer it was pretty fast but not hard at all, and I'm currently taking her 201 class and I love it. BIG time recommend her.
The best math teacher I have had if you do your homework and do the study guide she gives and ask question. You will do good. She also make sure you know the material and she put the notes on the board for you. make sure you don't throw anything away because at the end of the semester she want it all in a binder. I cant wait to take next semester.
she is an outstanding teacher, she is very organized which makes everything very clear. I thought her class was very easy. definitely recommend her!(:
Mrs. B is the best instructor I have ever had in any subject. She makes math fun and spends the time with the students making sure they understand it. A big A+ for her.
Literally the greatest math teacher I've ever had, she made me interested in it and made me feel as if math is doable. Crystal clear teaching, and very well organized. Attend some tutoring if you're struggling but very doable and passable with an A.
This teacher is great!! very well organized and helpful. An easy A.
OHM best teacher ever. Made being out of school for a long time just like riding a bike.
Best Math teacher EVER!!!!!!!!!!! If you actually want to learn then take her class. She is so good at explaining what we are doing and the way she give us "bread crumbs" is perfect!
Mrs. B is one of the best math instructors at Fresno City College. Her lectures are clear and thorough. She is inspirational and has passion for teaching math.
Mrs. B is an amazing instructor at Fresno City College. Lectures are clear and thorough. She's inspirational and has passion for teaching math.
Class begins at 715, when in fact it should start at 7. Arrives several minutes late (daily), jots down class work on board, then takes roll. She's very sarcastic but can come off as being rude for someone who doesn't understand her humor. Math 201 is certainly difficult to pass and understand with only 35 minutes a day of lecture. Buckle up.
She's AMAZING! Everyone should take her class and only hers! She knows numbers and loves math! I now love math because of her and I love her teaching style and friendly attitude. Her notes are vey clear and organized. She's also very helpful if you ask. You do have to show up, do hw, and pass tests which you'll always be prepared for.
Easy class, just make sure to pay attention to her lectures and ask questions if you dont understand anything, she'll give you a very thorough explaination. As for text book you don't need to buy it, all you need is the mymathlab since it comes with the full book. In addition, her test aren't mulitiple choices but are easy since its from her SG.
Worst teacher ever! She grades extremely hard on tests. She's rude and sarcastic and gives you a look if you ask a question. She rushes her lectures and isn't there to help. I would never recommend her to anyone. Don't do the homework it does not even help with getting your grade up. Study for test that's basically how you will pass the class.
If you want to pass and understand the material. She's very clear and organized.
Very helpful and kind.
She's AMAZING! I regret not taking her again, because my math teacher now is horrible :/ But yeah, pick her, she's really good at teaching and on top of that she lets you retake tests. (:
Best math teacher I've ever had. She's funny and explains all concepts clear.
Her lectures and notes are crystal clear. She walks you through every step to get the correct answer and thoroughly understand it. I've never had a math teacher this good at teaching math. I struggle in math and she made it enjoyable. After taking her course, I thought about teaching math as well. Yep that's how good her style of teaching is.
She is a great teacher. Took her for math 255 and I am taking her again for math 201. She teaches well and will answer any questions you have if you are stuck on something. She cares about her students and will take the time to help you outside of class. Tests are easy if you study and the homework is easy. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
my math skills were disgusting i am glad i was placed in mrs b's class she helped me build a strong math foundation my arithmetic skills are fire take her you will not regret it i am currently taking trig
best teacher ever
Mrs.B is an amazing Math Professor. This was my second semester with her and I would take her again for the next math class If possible. When she teaches it's so noticeable that she loves math and that's very inspiring.
If you're willing to try, absolutely is willing to help. Great teacher took 255 with her absolutely an awesome teacher.
I took Ms. B for MATH 260 series, MATH 255 & 201.. She is such a sweetheart and is willing to help you! i never had a grade over "D" in math. once i took her classes i kept a solid "B+" in each course! Love her!
Mrs B has high expectations of her students. She explains math in a way that is very understandable. She makes herself available for help and we have our own personal tutors to go to. I would take her class again if given the chance.
Mrs. B is a great teacher. I've never been good at math until I took her class. I've taken math 260B-D with her and currently in 255. She writes the outline of her lecture on the board and has you copy it in a notebook. Very easy to follow. I've heard complaints that she goes too fast, but the people complaining are the people who talks in class.
Do you absolutely want to understand and get to somehow love algebra? Then lake her class. Lots of notes but easy to understand her teaching style. Her passion for teaching and math is noticeable. But even most importantly her patience to offer extra help if you need it. Just show up for class.
She does everything she can to help students pass. Her notes are well organized, she gives unlimited tries on mymathlab homework, so it's pretty hard not to get 100%. If you still don't understand, she will work with you during office hours.
Do you think that Math is a boring and hard subject? Be ready,Professor Blackerby will welcome you to her"Math Village"and will make you fall in love with Math. Her lectures will always help you ace the grades that you need to pass. She will explain material to you in the easiest and funniest way possible. She makes sure that everyone understands.
She's overall a great teacher
She is a great teacher , you really helps you understand the content and makes sure YOU understand it. You should consider doing the homework and go to class because most of what you in class and homework will help you out with the test .. you decided to go or not it's your choice . Overall she's a great teacher and caring !! Ask for help !!!
I took the 4 week summer session of math 103, and if youre not a fan of a big work load on a short time then dont take it in summer. Other than that mrs. B was awesome! She cared for us and our grades so much, and she explained every concept and problem very well! Best math teacher Ive had!
I took this class the 4 week session. I just hated that she graded notes, and not base the class on HW and exams. She was an okay Professor, she really didnt care for her students as much, and we were expected to succeed on our own. Not much extra credit was offered, and no calculators were used.
She was amazing and very patient !! Im not a math wiz but when I took her tests she made me feel better especially because she gave the BEST study guides ever !!
Highly recommend! Clear lectures and examples, supportive, and overall great instructor. Unlimited attempts at MML hw, reviews before tests, extra credit, and drops lowest test score if you do better on practice final. I took Trig with another teacher and did not retain anything, but Mrs. B explained so well Ive decided to take higher math!
she's one of the best explainer's I have ever seen took her class two times this semester but make sure you do your work because that can end up being your demise.
I took Mrs. B over the summer for Math103 and I was super nervous b/c math is not my forte, but her lecture and notes really helped me. I really appreciated how she gave us a study guide and was willing to go over every single problem we had questions about before the test. She grades notes and scratch work for extra credit.
She is amazing!!!!! She cares about what she is teaching and if you show up you will pass for sure. Has to go at a faster pace but she explains everything and gives extra credit on every test. Hands down the best instructor for math 103
I'm not great at math but after joining Mrs.B's "Math Village " I gained the confidence I needed to pass the class. Great lectures explains everything step by step and she's funny too. She always reviews before tests and if you need help shes more than happy to assist you
If you work hard and complete all of the assignments, you will do well. One of the best Math Professor's I have ever had. Caring, respectful, and courteous, you feel like you matter in this class. Very flexible with coursework, Blackerby-Slater has a family, so she understand's life events getting in the way. Prepare to work hard and do well.
I GOT A D IN HER CLASS BECAUSE I DIDN'T STUDY ENOUGH. BUT SHE WILL GO THROUGH HER NOTES DAILY AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS RAISE YOUR HAND. SHE WILL FIND AN EASIER TECHNIQUES TO TEACH YOU IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. BUT OTHER THAN THAT SHE IS AWESOME! I WOULD LOVE TO RE-TAKE HER CLASS AGAIN.
Amazing Professor. Very helpful and easy to understand. You are graded by exam, class notes and show work. In class no calculator but online class yes calculator and open notes. She will drop your lowest test score. Tutoring is really helpful and she also have office hours. Study guide is same as test and she will go over it before the day of test
Mrs.B is a nice easy going person but this is the most ive ever stressed in a class there's a test every other week which adds up to a total of 10 test total. Grades very tough rewards the students who get 100 on every exam with a chocolate bar which i feel isn't fair to the ones who didn't do so well. Over all very caring but boy was i stressed.
Mrs. B expects way too much for an online class and assigns far too much work without actually covering the material. Her lectures are highly inefficient and rushed. She does show any understanding or empathy for struggling students and she is very quick to accuse students of "lacking integrity" when turning in work. I would not recommend her!
Great teacher, really goes into the basics to make sure you have a good understanding of the material before moving to the more complex problems. Fun class to take!
Mrs. Blackerby is honestly a great teacher. I had taken her over zoom when we were still online and she was really good. Definitely take Mrs. Blackerby if you are given the chance.
Slater has a laid back style of teaching but she's always very helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help anyone understand the material. The HW assignments were clear and the grading scale was great. Being in her class was always fun and she made math fun.
She was pretty good. Clear lectures. Goes over all the materials. Worth it taking her class.
She is a laid back teacher, however a bad instructor, goes over the math way to fast and rushes every lecture. Be ready to have plenty of homework because she gives some daily. Unless you seek help outside of class, it will be a challenge to get everything down.
One of the best math courses I have ever had. She is super nice and cooperative. There was a lot of homework and hard work because it was an accelerated course. But overall it went well and the class environment was perfect.
One of the best math courses I have ever had. She is super nice and cooperative. There was a lot of homework and hard work because it was an accelerated course. But overall it went well and the class experience was perfect.
She does a good job explaining the information. There is a good amount of HW, but that is because she wants you to practice. HW does not make up a huge amount of your grade; Most of the points come from tests. There are no make ups so if you miss a test, you'll get a 0. Tests are around 15 questions & similar to study guide & usually easier than HW
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE PROFESSOR! I would've taken her for 3A but it couldn't fit in schedule. Trig is very hard AND she taught it incredibly well and made me appreciate math way more than before! you CANNOT procrastinate, stay on top on your hw, there is a lot of it. She'll tell you how important chapter 1-2 is. BELIEVE HER, STUDY THOSE CHAPTERS!!!
Mrs. B is very passionate about her job, she sets you up to succeed. The HW isn't worth much but it does help with exams! You have lots of time to complete HW for full credit, not a huge workload. 15-question exams every chapter. Lectures are very straightforward forward & she provides analogies to help remember formulas or terminology.
You are a student who will be supported by the professor for your character. The success rate of students passing came down to work ethic. Well respected and appreciated.
I took Ms. B for college algebra and trig and she was so helpful! If you struggle with math or need better detailed lectures she really helps you understand the why for everything! If you have the opportunity to take her definitely do so! She is also very easy to get ahold of and doesn't leave anyone behind. Would definitely recommend!
One of the best math profs - super helpful, explains concepts clearly, and gives lots of extra credit. Tough workload but if you put in the effort, you'll do well. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for exam prep!
Mrs. B was a great professor. She explains things in a way that is understandable, and if you don't understand, she is willing to spend more time on things. Her class is a lot of work, but it is math so you should expect that. I would absolutely take her class again.
