Very helpful and dedicated teacher. Although she has hard grading policy, she uses her effective teaching techniques to help you to build a strong fundation.

i hate math but made it thru with this teacher. you have to do the homework to do any good with the tests but she generally assigns problems that you really need to understand to do well on her tests.

she is a nice teacher and ever thing but damb hard. 30 people started and 7 passed

I think she was hard, but it made me try harder. and i ended up getting a B in the class. i agree that only about 6 people were left at the end. but people these days have teachers who will just give them an easy A and they wont have to work at it. and thats ridiculous. you have to try. she is hard. but i learned alot and i think she is a great.

Professor Morvan is a great math teacher. She is funny and witty, which makes learning math really fun. I would recommend taking math 20 and 40 first, so you have a good Algebra background. Learning the theorems and proofs can be a little hard, but if you study and make flash cards it isn't too hard at all. I didn't have much trouble getting an A.

fun. sarcastic. and tries very hard to make it a good learning environment. BUT, to me... her methods of teaching.. was not exactly the best. She always asks if you need help and does her best to help. she is very friendly and a good person in general. There is no breaks btwn lectures, homework is a lil hard to do, not to mention there is a alot.

notes are INTRICATE.. and detailed.. which is good so are her tests and quizes.. which is bad.. her tests are like MCATs.. --.--- one detail off.. you only get partial credit shes nice, and even jokes around in class, but because of the serious atmosphere in the class.. not a lot of people laugh. this class is hard. but if you listen

really really hard teacher.. you have to like math and study really hard if you want to pass..

SHE is SUCH an AWESOME teacher!!! all these people that said she is hard or unclear is wrong! they prob. never went to class at all or are absolutely dumb!!! I had her in high school.. when she was a teacher at my high school.... she is funny, nice, and very helpful!!! take her!!!

Difficult subject - but very helpful lectures. If homework is done - exams are not too hard. Many ways to get a good grade. Hard to do well if lectures are not attended.

a great teacher, i had an A in her class...nice way of teaching...her exams are easy if u attend the class, review her notes and do the homework..believe me, ask any question, she will explain realy well and take her time. good luck u guys!

Great teacher. Her notes are very thorough, and it's easy to do well on the tests if you do all your hw, go to class, and review your notes (which you're supposed to do anyway). The class is kind of hard at times, but she takes the time to go over any questions you have. I would definitely take her again.

really tuff grader. makes u do all the homework but u only turn in half. but really helpful at explaining the work

She is a great professor. Make sure that you take notes b/c they are really helpful, and they make the concept very easy. Try not to be absent as much as you can so that you can understand everything. She alsways helps students when they ask her. Take her and you will not feel sorry !

She likes to make lame little jokes alot but she tries to teach the best that she can. she is helpful if u need and answers your questions as thorooughly as she can but all the homework is required and you will only get credit if you complete ALL the homework. by doing so, you can obtain partial credit for problems on the test. if you don't do the

This class was really tough for me because I hate geometry so much, but she did a great job at explaining everything. If you study proofs really well and pay attention during class then you should do fine. Make sure you complete all homework, because it is vital to the class. Really helpful and really nice!!!

MUST DO HOMEWORK IF YOU WANT A SHOT AT PASSING, THE TESTS ARE CHAPTER TESTS SO YOU MUST KNOW EVERYTHING IN THE SECTIONS, NOT JUST THE GENERAL IDEA IF YOU WANT TO REALLY SUCCEED. IF YOU DONT LIKE DOING HOMEOWKR DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. COMPLETE HOMEWORK = PARTIAL CREDIT TESTS. NO HOMEWORK = DOOMED ON THE TEST. LOL OVERALL SHES A DECENT TEACHER.

she's supper cool and funny teacher. U can ask her whatever, and she try to help until everything is clean!!! As long as u r willing to learn stuff,u will get an A anyway!

she gives too much hw assignments and seems that she checks every question to take off pts. her lectures are great though, she makes it easy to understand. u get to drop one low score whether it be total hw points or one exam. class attendance is mandatory to get a good grade because her lectures are better than books. but hw is unnecessarily long.

I suggest this teacher for international students, 'cuz she is really good, and it's easy to understand what she's talking. I'm taking her Calculus, and it's really cool. She's also helpful and always answer all yr quests. Anyway, just one thing i dislike is she doesn't prepare her notes, just some at the beginning of this semester, cuz she is busy

I love her teaching style. it's crystal clear. Trust me, if you really wanna learn, take her. If you pay attention and do the work, easy A. if you don't, that's your problems, not hers. she's a great guitarist + singer too. love this class, i'll take her again for Calculus.

She is very good teacher and is very nice. The only bad thing is that she gives a lot of homework.

She is realy good teacher.In my 142 and 150 AC, I get A gread. If she will start to taking 150BC, I will go with this teacher.

I walked into my Math 015 class so nervous and scared (no likey math) and after delving into the material, it immediately came clear to me what a WONDERFUL teacher Prof. Morvan is. She laid down a foundation of mathematics that will lead me into every course. A earned an A from her. Sure it's work, but there's a method to the motive there.

A very nice and kind person. Tries very hard to let everyone understand the subject. Lots of homework though, but mostly odd problems so you can check answers in the back. Very picky on tests at times. She tries to joke around at times and brighten the mood since most of the time the class is very serious so she tries to make a little laugh here and there. Overall, nice person and if you have questions she's willing to help. I would choose her as a teacher again if she ever teaches higher math.

A real challenge and don't expect her to curve, drop scores, or give extra credit. She a good teacher though!

- Goes out of her way to help students - Very clear; oversimplifies nothing, but uses helpful graphics and explanations - Thorough assessments: 5 exams & 10 quizzes; returns all with explanations & will explain your mistakes in her office - Posts grades online regularly - Writes helpful lecture notes - Unhelpfully excessive HW: 83 problems/wee

She teaches well but the tests and quizzes are very hard. There is also a lot of homework assigned for this class. It's not impossible to pass but it's very hard

I totally disagree with her partial credit rule. Some people can't do homework all the time. Sometimes, hw can cost you more than 30 points b/c you don't get partial credit on tests. Overall, she is good at explaining and is nice, but very strict on grading.

Her class is going to be hard for those who don't work hard and not pay attention. If you don't procrastinate your work and go to her with your problems you will definitely succeed in the class. You will need to keep practicing. Homeworks are important.

She is a great professor for those who really want to study!

To those who think she isnt a good professor, she really is. I dont go to SI meetings or tutor sessions etc, but after every test or quiz i always go up to her and ask for help and she willingly helps. It's rare you find a professor that helps you out willingly and wants to ask. Math isnt something you breeze by in. Study and you'll do good.

I don't understand why she gets so many bad reviews. Pros: Her notes are crystal clear. She is willing to help you. A piece of advice: Do your homework. Most of problems on quizzes and exams are similar to those in notes and homework. Cons: She grades hard but fairly.

She is a good teacher. She knows her stuff and gives a pretty good explanation. She's always willing to help you. Homeworks are important and so is attendence. I would definitely take her class again if she lectures 150B too.

One of my favorite teachers. Basically all of the bad reviews are from people who didn't put in the work. You cannot coast in this class you have to do the hw. She knows her stuff and is more than willing to help. If you actually want to learn the material and are willing to actually (gulp) work for your grade she is great. Wish she taught 150B.

She is really nice and wants to help but her class is not easy. Her tests are hard. You actually need to spend a lot of hours at home just to pass. Says jokes and loves it when you come to her office hours.

So much work. The work load for this class is extensive. Homework can be very challenging, but you must do all of it because it determines if your test is graded with partial credit. Her lectures are clear, and she's very welcoming when you go to office hours. She gives fair tests and quizzes, but you need to really put a lot of time in.

This professor is amazing. She explain everything and she make everything easy. She is very helpful and she always answer my questions. Tests are kind of hard but with studying nothing hard. Her grading is fair but not harsh.

Harsh grading,no test review sheets,tons of homework, she rarely go over the homework questions, many people drop from her class.I don't recommend her for people who don't have background about calculus.

Professor Morvan is helpful and truly wants her students to succeed. As she says, "I'm on your side!" However, her class can be difficult. You absolutely have to do your best to get a good grade in this class. She's a pretty good lecturer as well.

She can be tough on grading, so you have to be careful to show all your work and go over tests. She's more lenient on homework though. She lectures very clearly and explains proofs very well. She's also a good speaker and brings some energy to the class. All in all a good teacher that will make you more careful.

One of the best math teachers I've ever had. Explains concepts VERY well and clear and can tell she really wants her students to succeed. A bit of a hard grader on tests, gives hardly any extra credit, but not impossible to get an A in the class. Always available during office hours which is helpful. Lets you make up one test but doesn't drop any

She seriously need to be easy on the hw assignments. Have no time what so ever to study for her class because all i have time to do is Her HW. What is the point of doing hw that is not even close to the tests. In additions she need to be more considerate about grading her test like we are all engineer majors. Helpful teachers but hard.

Professor Morvan is, by far, one of the best profs I've taken. The easiness score on this site is false.. passing the class is as easy as doing the homework to receive partial credit on tests and re-writing notes to study (a tip from Morvan herself.) I managed a perfect score on the final and an A in the class even though math isn't my strong suit.

she is a great teacher. she will make you work hard but you will be a better student because of it. she is easy to talk to and available for help. i wish i could take her for all my math classes.

Morvan is a pretty good professor. She is really friendly and a good professor to go to when you need help. She is one of those professors that really are there to help you during office hours. Yes, her class may be tough, but do your homework, take advantage of printing her notes before class, and you'll be okay.

Professor Morvan is one of the best professors I've ever had as far as math is concerned. Yes, there's a lot of homework, but it makes the exams easy. Print out the notes before class, follow the exact way she does the problem in the notes on the exam, and you'll be fine.

She was able to let me take my tests a bit later because I always had other matters to attend to. She saved me a lot was willing to work with me all the time. You must attend class for the lectures.

She is a great teacher and really takes her time with lectures. It was almost too slow at times, but not pain-stakingly slow or anything. MyMathLab is helpful, but there are definitely a lot of problems to do. If you don't keep up with the homework, you definitely won't pass. If you do the homework, tests are easy. Plus she is funny and very caring

This professor found her calling! Great at what she does and is willing to help in any way possible. Even though the class was tedious, she managed to crack a few jokes in there which made it more fun and reminded everyone that with hard work its possible to succeed in the class. Highly recommend taking her if you're serious about your studies.

Professor Morvan is very good at what she does. I understood all her lectures clearly. She gives good feedback on her tests and makes excellent study guide for them before hand. There are a lot of homework involved in this class, but honestly if you don't do it, don't expect to get a good grade, it's not a sit-back-and-relax kinda class.

I was pretty hesitant to choose Professor Morvan due to the difficulty rating but I am so glad I had her for my calc class. She is a real gem and her notes and reviews are gold. Through her class, I was able to realize hard work does really pay off and it is really worth it. I wish she taught math 150B too.. If you work hard, you will succeed!!

Will have homework almost every night. Homework problems harder than test problems. Will have webassign quizzes every 2 days but usually have Sunday off. Tests are not hard if you do the study guide and ask her any questions you have. Test questions similar to study guide. Overall good professor for Calc and I'm an engineering major.

Loved Professor Morvan's class. Bright and funny. Very organized and helpful. You must have knowledge of trig to pass. Only thing, wish the grades weren't so inflexible. At the end I did some calculations, and whether I got an A+ or a D- on the final (and even if I went back and got 100% on all HW), I would still get a B in the class.

Love the way she explains her lectures. She is nice and intelligent. It's easy to get A if you finish all her review homework for each exam.

Professor Morvan was a really great teacher. Even though the class wasn't a free A, she was transparent with the difficulty of the tests, so we always knew how hard the tests were going to be. Make sure you genuinely do all of the work she assigns you, since her study guides are just like the test. Her lectures are also super comprehensive.

She makes it easy to get an A, and is an amazing lecturer!! But calculus is difficult no matter what. She provides you with practice tests with full written out answers. If you actually study, you'll do fine - but if you slack off at all, you'll do terribly. You must be serious about this class in order to pass, and she will help you.

just focus in the concepts for the exams and you will get an A. She explains the concepts in a way that everyone can enjoy math. She's the best !!

Calc 1 with Morvan is super clear and she prepares you very well for her exams. Hone in on her lectures/notes and its just a study guide for the exam! I was hesitant to take her, but I'm so glad I did! I didn't expect to enjoy this class since I'm usually really bad at math. If you want a clear professor who doesn't give surprises, take Morvan!

I was scared for Calc and just prayed it wouldn't murder me, but Prof. Morvan was amazing! Her notes and study guides are KEY to exams, and they were super helpful!! Honestly, I wish she'd teach Calc 2!!

Just study the notes in lecture and you should get a B/A. She's very straightforward with the way she teaches and is organized. Tell's you what to expect, which is reflected in her notes for exams.

I think she is probably one of the best math teacher I've ever had. She is really good at explaining why this and that happens while solving a problem. I think Calc is a hard class in general, so students need to spend some time trying to understand the concept, but the teacher makes this class fairly easy because she is very supportive.

She is truly an awesome professor. Her video lectures are clear and she already has the notes laid out for you. Some of the lectures are long tho. She gives an Exam Review packet before each exam which is super helpful! Only thing that takes up a lot of unnecessary time is MyMathLab HW. If you need help try Chegg Study. She answers emails fast.

Love her! Super clear lectures. The MyMathLab homework is so pointless and time-consuming :(( What actually does help is her Exam Review packets. Try using Chegg Study for help on MyMathLab. There are 4 exams & one final. Gives extra-credit beginning of the semester. Very approachable professor. Super organized!

Seriously one of the best math teachers I've ever had in my whole life. I was really scared for Calc, but I ended up getting an A. Go to all the lectures. Do all your HW and quizzes on WebAssign. Don't hesitate to go to her office hours. My tip is to do the exam review twice. Also, it's just like the test; there are no surprises.

Professor Morvan is great and is willing to help you succeed as much as possible. Go to class everyday, do your WebAssign homework/quizzes on time, and don't wait until the last day to do the exam reviews! They're more than 10 pages long. Technically, you don't need the textbook because she has notes that you print out and fill out during class.

I'm glad I took her, coincidentally. She is transparent in grading, fun, approachable, and passionate about the subject that hardly got our passion. Heavy yet helpful homework, useful reviews. Do all and you would pass cuz the exams and final are easier than homework. Go to her for help, she will help you answer, then you can use it to gain points!

This was a tough class! 4 Tests + 1 Cumulative Final that determine the majority of your grade (as well as HW/Notes). Be prepared to print pages and pages of notes. Being a hybrid class, you need to manage your time wisely and keep up with the material on a day to day basis. You can get an A, just requires you to study A LOT. p.s. speed the videos

Such a wonderful professor! She is really caring and willing to explain to you everything in VOH. Kind of hard to get good grades since everything is graded on mymathlab so even you just miss a small number, you'll be wrong and lose points (but have 2 chances to do quiz so don't worry). In-class exams are exactly the same as those exam reviews!

Lots of web assign hw that was so annoying but that's expected for upper level math classes. She was the best math professor I've ever had- she really works hard to make you understand the lecture information clearly and deeply. Sure it's a LOT of work but its calc!!! Put the effort in and you'll be rewarded. Study a lot, ask questions, keep up! :)

This professor knows her material. Her lectures are detailed to the T, and if you find yourself struggling, she will make sure to go over the material very meticulously. Only thing is you gotta work hard --TEST HEAVY-- because she does NOT curve. I got A's in all my exams, but got a C on my Final which dropped me to a B. I blame COVID, not her.

Prof Morvan was by far the best calc teacher I have ever had! It wasn't easy, but no calc class is going to be easy. Her lectures were clear, and the exams were just like the exam reviews. She was very accessible outside of class, and wants you to pass her class. She is the best calc teacher at Cypress and I recommend you take her!

Her Exams are very fair and are very easy. She even made a very helpful note packet! I'm so glad I took her! The best professor ever!

Before, I had always struggled with math during my time in high school. Professor Morvan's lecture videos helped me understand the material I was learning and filled in gaps in my memory. She was always helpful during her office hours, and I could always rely on her to explain something I didn't understand. Also, her guitar playing skills are Fire.

She made a significant effort to be available to students who needed help with the lessons, something I took for granted. There is A LOT of homework and tests and her lectures are YT videos. Great lessons, easy to understand, but sometimes it felt like the homework wasn't covered in the lessons. One of the best professors I've had at Cypress.

She is very good at making herself available to students, but as other reviews have said it is very time intense, I would recommend her ESPECIALLY if you're going into STEM, because if you REALLY want to understand these concepts that STEM fields will cover, the time intensity is justified, maybe don't take if your major stops at calculus for math
