She is very helpful, If you attend and pay attention, of course, you do good, but if you don't take it seriuosly, you will not pass no matter how good or bad she is. In my opinion she is awesome and very helpful. You just need to be responsible and decided to learn not just loosing time.

She is great!!!The best. You just need to be responsible and study. If you go to loose time, don't bother. But if you attend, she explains really good, she makes sure that you understand the concept before you leave. I am a straight A student, and I tell you, if you want to do good, you will, but if you don't take it seriously, it is not her fault.

I took this teacher for a math class, and I absolutely believe she's the best. These comments are not accurate. She DOES have an accent, but I was very surprised that in the whole semester she didn't say a word in spanish. It was ALL ENGLISH!!!.She explains everything the Cuban way which is by saying where her answers come from and why.

Great teacher. Very hardworking and helpful.. She genuinely cares for her class. Sure she's got an accent but this does not stop her from being a great teacher. She makes sure we know the material without the need of calculators as you're not allowed to use calculators in the exit exam. Quick class yet very understandable. Best math teacher i've had.

Professor Ferrer is one of the best math professors at MDC North. I had her for MAC1105 in Fall 2018, and her class was nice and interesting. Even though her class was not easy, but you have to work hard for it. For MAC1105 class, if you pass all of your tests with A's, you are not required to take the final. I would also recommend her for 1140.

Skip class? You won't pass.

Prof. Ferrer is considered a great professor to have for math. I had her for MAC1140 in Spring 2019 term, and the class was pretty challenging. The class was blended, therefore you will be given a lot of work. Plus, it is always best to visit her office hours if you are having trouble with assignments, then she will help you. PLEASE TAKE HER.

Worst professor Ive had for math. Her grading is super weird. She doesnt try to help you in any way. Try contacting her through email ? Haha she wont respond so good luck. She teaches the material way too quick and expects you to know it right of the bat. Horrible teacher.

Really great I love the way she teaches. She has a little bit of an accent but its not difficult to understand. She is really funny and nice and tries to help you understand the material. Make sure to do all of the homework on math lab because it really lowers your grade if you dont. Overall loved her class and would recommend.

Although she is a great teacher. The workload outside of class is extreme and isnt worth as much as it should be. One of the homeworks had over 100 questions and was only worth 10% of your overall grade. However she is willing to help you with whatever you need.

I took her online during COVID-19. it was a lot of homework we had to do on mathlab, most of them took 1+ hours to do. There were 4 tests but they weren't hard to be honest it. It's just a time-consuming class cuz of hw. you might have to self study some concepts since she doesn't exactly do lectures with notes. It was a VERY VERY BORING CLASS.

Really cool Professor!!! I had her for an online class. No finals, no midterms, 4 tests. We were required to pass tests 2 and 4 with 50% or higher to pass the class. She explains well. She has tons of resources available for us to practice.

Lazara F is an amazing Math professor. She loves to teach and she is organized and understandable. She gives you guides to study for the Tests with the answers, that helped me a lot. Her lectures with the Power P are really good and explain the exercises through examples. I would take another Math class with this Professor. I recommended her 100 %.

I took this Professor for MAC 1105 online with MDC Canvas. She gives a fair amount of homework and her syllabus is very clear. There was a time I misunderstood my homework due date and she will very caring and gave me an extension. You have one final and one midterm that are both on ProctorU. Would take her again! :)

Professor Ferrer is an organized person and gives plenty of opportunities for you to get a good grade. You have to be prepared to do a LOT of homework, but it's honestly the best way to prepare for the test. Online classes are not her forte, but she she really strives to do her best

Take this class if you want to feel like you're in high school again in the worst way. Condescending and nonchalant. Took this class because of reviews and was disappointed. Excessive HW that barely helps your grade. Lectures and HW seemed easy and the tests were harder than they had to be. If you're not good at math take another professor please.

If you take a blended class , expect for you to teach yourself almost most of the material . You will not have any class “online”. Also , if your not good at math , please don't take this class. She doesn't go into depth about the lesson , she just starts lecturing and putting problems up on the board before even explaining WHAT all of it means .

An amazing Professor of Mathematics took her for MGF1130. She's down to earth and provides students with assistance for her math courses. She has well-accessible office hours that can be reached at any time. She tends to rush her classes a little, but it's understandable because she only has class once a week for this course. Would recommend.

Took her for in person and online. I failed in person due to lack of attendance and failing multiple assignments, but she was still a great professor. Although for online, she's definitely less hands on and lets you do the course work by yourself. When it comes to the coursework, take advantage of the practice questions as tests can get challenging

Love her. A bit hard to understand, but math is another language you can. Blended class so read/study up on your own (if you don't, there's time to catch up.) Lots of homework (so better chance for grades), no true deadline so ask questions, and reach out for office hours. All tests are proctored, but she gives ref sheets. A lot of help overall.

A demanding class, but Professor Ferrer provides ample opportunities to succeed. The workload is heavy, but the structure helps prepare for tests. Unstuck ai proved invaluable for efficient study prep.
