She works with you and wants you to do well. I only wish she could teach the next level up because I'd happily take her again. I adore this lady. A+++

Really down to earth professor. Her lectures always made the math fun and accessible to everyone. She took extra time to help the students I saw struggling to keep up. Also, any time I have seen her around campus she has remembered me and expressed genuine interest in how things are going with me in my current classes. Great professor, great person

I had Ms. Saylor for MAT0028 and MAT1033 and we used the Alek's hybrid system. It's a TON of work but it makes you better prepared and understand math a lot better. Saylor is amazing, I wish I could have her as a math teacher forever. She takes her time, is really helpful. Just put in the time, and you'll do fine.

Prof. Saylor is a lot of fun in the classroom! She is no nonsense, but has a great sense of humor and is very willing to help and answer questions. Math is NOT my strong-point so I needed some outside tutoring to compensate, but Prof. Saylor helped as much as she could! We mostly used ALEKS for assignments which was a lot of work, but helpful

I am taking this class online and as all online classes have a lot of homework but Professor Saylor is a very understanding person, just make sure you complete the homework, the discussion and do the quiz before the due date.

Saylor is awesome! She was my first college math prof and I would love to take her again. Whole class is on ALEKS and she is quick to respond to emails, even on weekends. Cannot recommend her enough! She is always willing to help and genuinely cares that you succeed. Ask questions if you don't understand a topic or you will struggle.

This class had the best discussion questions of any class I've taken. They are the normal BS questions but helpful in navigating the course. Weeks 1-3 are average, weeks 4-5 are pretty hard but weeks 6-8 were easy and there was not much reading or homework.

Professor Saylor is the best at teaching math, in a way that is easily retainable. She also shows how you would use algebra problems in real world situations. If you dont show up to class it is very easy to fall behind. She gives plenty of resources to succeed in her class. Her enthusiasm for algebra is very motivating.

While the online version of MAT 1033 is primarily completed through ALEKS, Professor Saylor doesn't cease to still act as a presentable and a respectable teacher. She's prompt with her responses when you need help and willingly provides positive feedback should you do well on finishing assignments ahead of schedule or on an exam or quiz.

I took Professor Saylor's class online. She was very attentive & wants all students to do well. Although the material can be challenging, there are numerous study aids & she offers to help anyone who needs it. There is a proctored Mid-term and Final but she gives a Very Helpful prep quiz beforehand that can be taken repeatedly to help to ace them.

Professor Saylor is ok, and it's an easy class, but not useful if you want to learn anything. She uses Aleks, so doesn't actually teach. If you need math for health science, it's better to take someone who'll teach you to pass the hard stuff.

We only have 3 tests, including the final exam which were all honorlock but still as long as you do the ALEKS work then you will be fine! she also provides practice quizzs for each test that you can take as many times as needed and it takes the highest score, and shows you exactly what will be on the test. She seems to genuinely care about teaching

Good professor. I just wished she posted lecture videos or videos of her actually teaching the content instead of watching random people on youtube work the problem. Other than that she is a good professor. Very understanding, responsive, and helpful. She grades very fair. Would take again.
