I just recently started her class; I have only attended to two classes and im already hating it. She explains the problems totally different from what i have learned it. SHE DOES NOT LET ANYONE USE A CALCULATOR IN THE CLASS.
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 a great professor and is always willing to help.I recommend her to everyone who is willing to learn and take the class seriously.She covers two to three sections per class so attendance is very important.
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.
The Worst would ramble off in Spanish and teach to a group in Spanish I DONT SPEAK SPANISH!I felt it was very disrespectful of my time and money. She goes through 6 math lessons in a 1 hour and 45 minute class teaches entirely different than HS and even you you work out the problem and get it right she will mark it wrong if if not how she tough you
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.
I agree, I think she's great. She gives a LOT of extra credit opportunity and the chance to get an A is there, and very easy to achieve. I guarantee you won't regret having her as a teacher. She really cares about her student's grades and is very motivating.
This professor is the best. She is extremely helpful she does not make you feel dumb and will explain things over and over again. She covers a couple of sections in one class so attendance is very important. She is extremely sweet!
Wow, this Professor is Amazing! She can really teach well, and has a great personality, and most importantly,cares for her students. Must take her!
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.
She has an accent but she still is a great math teacher. She really explains and teaches math very well. If you dont understand the problem, she is quick to help you. Her class is very easy if you show up, pay attention, & take notes. The class is easy so far and I really think she is a great teacher.
Extremely Helpful Professor. I won't give away her help tips but you should know she is definitely worth taking. I have taken this class 3 times; 3rd time was a charm with her! She is recommended 100% by me!
I'm naturally good at math but the first time I took this class I didn't pass because the teacher was so hard. When I took it with Ferrer it was so much easier the second time around + she's extremely helpful and interested in her students. Has an accent but nothing too hard to understand. Super funny too. I wish I could've picked her for MAT1105.
The best math teacher I have ever taken!! she does not mind explaining things over and over until everyone understands. She loves math and she does her best for everyone else to do so. She gives soo many extra credit opportunities. If you want an A in math take Lazara Ferrer :)
I think this teacher is great. She explains it all very well, gives a lot of examples, and easy extra points..I currently have her and she is very helpful. Definitely picking her for MAT1033.
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 really like this prof.she help you understand plus she gives extra credit and if you have any problem she understant that take her i recommended it
TAKE HER! I don't care how bad you are at math, she will help. If you really try you will pass the class and the State exam. This lady was born to be a math teacher. I am so blessed to have taken her class because she made me see that I am not as bad at math as I thought I would be. If you want to learn, take her.
she is an helpful teacher. She knows how to teach.
I have taken this course twice before with no avail. She makes this class extremely easy, and a bit interesting since math is not my favorite subject. She's really passionate about the subject she teaches, and is willing to help students out whenever they need help. She is an amazing math professor, and I wish there were more like her!
She is super helpful and loves math shell have you understand will also help ensure you pass the class. i had taken 1033 prior and failed this class with a diffrent proffessor i passed her class with a C . great proffesor will take for 1105
I took her for MAT0024 and I decided to take her for MAT1033 because she is such a wonderful teacher. She is the greatest math teacher EVER. She knows how to break it down. You won't pass if you don't study; she's great, not a miracle worker. I wish she taught MAC1105. Don't know what I'll do without her. She gave me my confidence in math back.
Prof Lazara is EXCELLENT!! She literally "dumbs down"the expanations to the point where u have no choice but 2 understand what she's saying.She always helps studends in any way possible & u can tell that she has a passion 4 teaching.If at 1st u never really liked math,once u take her,she will rebuild ur confidence in math.2have confidence,take her!
I took this class 2wice before and I went in so depressed. This Professor's teaching methods are awesome. She breaks things down to elementary level so you have no choice but to understand. I wish she taught MAC1105. TAKE HER! TAKE HER! SHE IS AWESOME
Took this class after failing it before with a previous profs. She is amazing and gives a lot of chances as well as extra credit opportunities ended up passing the class with a B. wish I could take her again but I do recommend her. She loves math and does everything she can to help you understand .
reasonable teacher
she is a great teacher, its easy to understand her work
Ms. Ferrer was amazing! I had a lot of trouble with math in high school & I passed her class with an A. She has an accent but you can understand her. She's funny & has a good sense of humor. You won't need the txtbook; she writes everything on the board. Grades are based on weekly tests and final exams. Extra cred for attendance and participation.
The best math teacher i have ever had. Really helpful to those who try. If she sees you doing good she will always make sure to tell you that you are doing a great job. She will try her best to explain the material until you understand it. She's awesome. You wont regret taking her.
She's a great professor, never gets tired of explaining material,helpful, understanding towards her students, gives extra credit when needed, has a bit of an accent, but after the first day of class, u will hardly recognize it. Multiple Choice tests,uses Angel and Mymathlab for homework and quizzes. You wont regret taking her
best teacher in HIA. Take her best choice you can make. She is easy and her test are on the same subjects she teaches. just do your work and youll have an easy A or B
Amazing. I failed this class 2 previous times with diff. teachers and i passed it with her. Shes patient and her reviews are just like the test.
Such a great teacher, she made everything clear, responded to my emails on time and was always nice. Her class is pretty easy if you take time and pay attention and study.
BEST teacher ever! She knows what shes doing and answers any questions you may have. Amazing! If I could I would take her again.
She is ok. The class is clear. She has everything in the calendar for you to know when is due. The pace is ok, not too fast or slow. You DO have assignments every week and a midterm and final proctored but she gives you a study test that is very similar to the tests. If u can learn by yourself, take it. No mandatory book, just mathconnect code $80
Had her for a mini-term and she goes extremely fast, if you don't understand something she won't explain and will say you should have read the chapter before coming to class. She even gets rude with students at times. She gives A LOT of homework and a little time to do them. If you are not very good at math AVOID her!
horrible she never explains things she tells you you should have learned in mat0028she goes way too fast in a mini term and she does not go over the test
Horrible, she's not a good professor. Do not take her
She never explain she told you you should have read the chapter before coming to class. She's horrible.
If you do not good in math don't take her
WORST prof ever! Goes way too fast and does not explain ANYTHING! Avoid her !!!She is rude with her students on top of that.
She is an awesome! I took her for all my math classes and she was extremely helpful. If you show her that you are trying she is going to do her best helping you pass her class. She likes to make sure that all her students are understanding. Definitely the best professor Ive had at mdc
She makes easy stuff really hard, she doesn't like to answer questions and goes really fast in her explanation. I passed the class thanks to the tutors in the math lab... She is not a good teacher at all.
This etcher its by far the most understanding teacher i've ever had. I took her online for math1033 and she was always on point answering emails and helping me on everything she could for me to pass. The class is simple clear, just do the work before due dates.
She does not help. If your a student who like's to study by yourself then take her if not your doomed!!!!
She an awesome teacher. really good at explaining. She really care about her student. She really make sure you understand what going on .
I took this class as a blended course and me not being so great at math did not like it. However, professor Ferrer does provide study guides which are life savers to pass the tests. Homework online is there to help and not mandatory. She is willing to help in her office hours and I would recommend to take advantage of that. She is funny sarcastic.
AVOID!!!! If you are not good at math, you will fail! Her courses are for students who have a lot of time to study on their own, who go to the math lab, and who understand the subject already. YOU MUST KNOW THIS SUBJECT BEFORE TAKING HER COURSE. Run!
She is super nice and willing to help the students. Her accent is heavy but not impossible of understanding. She gave a 10 points extra credit assignment at the end of the course and people who had C got an A. I would recommend her.
Easy A but you have to put in the work. Explanations and break downs of the problems are amazing.
I Took Her For A Mini Term,She Gives You Many Opportunities To Pass Her Class. Receive Extra Credit For Passing The Quizzes With A 100%. TOTALLY Helps Your Grade At The End Of The Semester. She's A Ok Teacher Will Go Over Things If You Don't Understand. My Advice To Anyone Is To PASS ALL OF YOUR HOMEWORK With A 90% Or Higher. And Pass ALL Quiz 100%
Took her this past fall at Broward college south and she was awesome! She does not give extra credit because she feels that you need to prove her that you're doing the work and not slacking. She will explain things to you over and over until the whole class gets it. There are 5 tests and the final; she will drop the lowest grade out of the 5 tests.
Very good professor. Had a blended course so most of the work was online. Gave extra credit for Attendance, Hw, and getting 100% on the quizzes (online), which were very easy. Definitely take her class if possible. Very good at explaining the material!
She knows how to teach very well, even with her cuban accent. She makes sure that you understand what's going on, answering all your questions. You can tell she really cares that the students pass her class. She gives a lot of extra credit, even for getting perfect attendance! If you fail this class, you weren't trying. Easiest class ever.
Very rude when you ask a question
She's willing to explain any problem that you don't understand, there when you need her in her office hours, and her homework and your perfect attendance is extra credit so show up and be on time. She gives practice problems for her tests so do them. Any other math class I have to take I'll take her again.
I had her before for MAT1033 and she's willing to explain any problem that you don't understand, there when you need her in her office hours, and her homework and your perfect attendance is extra credit so show up and be on time. She gives practice problems for her tests so do them. Any other math class I have to take I'll take her again.
Professor Ferrer is a great teacher and truly cares for her students. She is there during office hours, she does the hard examples on the board, she breaks down all the problems and gives out a lot of extra credit. Only thing you have to do is listen, work hard and never miss class. She truly cares for her students.
I was scared to take her class b/c of her reviews they all were either really good or really bad but overall this class easy. She does have a thick accent but you get used to it. She explains everything step by step. She only give out four test and a final. Also gives you an option to take a 5th test for extra credit to drop the lowest test grade.
GREAT PROFESSOR, she knows what she is talking about and helpful. Homework is optional, it is extra credit. Class consists of 4 chapter tests and the final., the lowest grade is dropped. Perfect attendance is also extra credit but it is better to show up because if you miss a class you will be lost. Willing to help on what you don't understand
She's alright if you are good in math or have free time if you suck at math and looking to improve she's not your best bet.
Took her blended class which in half online and half in class. It was really easy two test online and two in class. Both are straight forward and to the point and she gives you a study guide. If you need help she will help you she is the best math teacher I've ever taken. This is the second time I've taken her. I love her!
This professor was pretty good. If you're not good at math, but willing to try you will do well. Tests are pretty clear if you study. She has an accent, but you can definitely understand her and she is funny. Wish she taught other math courses. I would say just to buy the access code because in my math class, the mymathlab was extra credit.
Honestly, if you're not good at math and you need to start from scratch, choose another teacher. She's an alright professor for students who already have an understanding of the topics she's teaching, but for struggling students she goes way too fast. She doesn't give much tests or homework. So beware.
GREAT professor, took her my first two semesters back to college. I hadn't taken a math course in years before I took her class and still was able to pass with an A. Make sure you do the homework and the practice quizzes and exams and you'll definitely pass. I would keep taking her for my other math classes if I could.
Prof. Ferrer saved me! My previous MAC1105 discouraged me. I went and tried it again with Prof. Ferrer and she is amazing. She cares so much. I plan on taking her Pre-Cal class next semester just because she made me fall in love with math again. I HIGHLY recommend you take her for MAT1033 and MAC1105 and if you want Pre-Cal
She's not the nicest teacher if you don't have a firm understanding in math and look for help she's not your best choice. She's very difficult at moments .
Took her for an online class, very helpful and informative. She really wants you to succeed.
Great math teacher!! The first day of class she will most likely pass out a syllabus in which may have a course schedule that indicates when she plans on giving exams and what topics she will be teaching. In my MAT0029 she assign online HW(pay attention to lecture);do HW & pass test and you are guaranteed to pass MAT0029
She's a great math teacher ... I wasn't good at math at all in high school . She made mat1033 sound easier then what it's supposed to be . Passed all her tests with As
Took it online, has 2 proctor tests and 4 quizzes. participation plus homework on connect math. (60, 20, 10, 10). Good professor. recommended.
Professor Ferrer is the best math teacher I ever had. She explained each lessons step by step. She's really nice and cares a lot to her students. Her homework are very easy and is based on what she's teaching in class. She gives study guide and review the chapter a class before the exam. I can't wait take her class for MAC 1105 next semester.
Really Amazing Woman! She's very understanding, My Mom was diagonized with Cancer (Thankfully shes clear now) and shes very understanding why I had to miss class to care for her. Only 4 test. (80,80,53,80) Was blended so work is on your own and you come in for lecture and she does problems and will reexplain them over until you got it. Littleaccent
I must say, she's is the clearest on explaining what's expected and on how to get solutions, took per- cal with her! I would take her for trig and cal in a heart beat!!! Great opportunity to learn by someone thats passionate about math!! Dont miss out!
If you want to take a really good class with her don't take blended because that one you will have to teach yourself and her tests were pretty hard and I actually liked mymathlab better than connect math
Professor is very understanding. Took her for MAC1105 online and it was pretty simple. She isn't big on posting or emailing reminders so you have to stay on top of the assignments. Connect math hw assignments, 4 tests + midterm and final. Pretty simple.
She's an amazing professor, I hate math but she makes it understandable and she's really energetic. She gives decent amount of homework and you will pass her exams if you do the reviews on blackboard! Final was a bit difficult but if you study and do well, you'll pass. Best math professor I've had, taking her again this semester for MAC1105.
Professor Ferrer is the nicest and easiest math professor I ever had. I took her for MAT1033 and MAC1105 and for both of those classes I got an "A". Make sure you to use the study guide to prepare for her exam. Trust me it helped me a lot.
Although I passed with a C, she is a tough teacher. MUST PASS final and midterm in order to pass the actual class.
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.
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.
She lets her emotions get the best of her. teaches the lesson and thats it. very strict, sweeps aisles for cheaters, absolutely no phones out, do the homework and youll likely pass.
This professor is amazing !! Im horrible at math and I was so scare that I wouldnt pass her class and I did it !!! If you do homework and pay attention she will pass. She gives update and remainder and even extra credit for final exam. Please take her if you dont like math !! She will help.
Great and smooth Class
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 %.
she just isn't helpful in any way, plus the way she graded assignments sucked.
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.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR , IF YOU ARE WILLING TO FAIL THE CLASS. !!!!
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.
