She is a cranky and difficult to understand teacher. I DO NOT reccommend taking any class she teaches!!!!
Shes a is a little strange but teaches calc very well. She answers questions well and her test are very easy!
Leslie is a great professor...wasn't expecting tatoos from my first college professor, but great at teaching math. Anyone who does not give Leslie a good grade probably doesn't understand College Algebra in the first place...
I took several Math classes in ASU. I only got B on Math 210. Ms. Arce has a fundamental problem.For instance, I made a perfect graph on the test, but she did not accept it. Why? Because she did not teach that. There are several ways to solve mathmatical problems. However,she did not recognize it.

I took this class over winter session 2003 and I loved it. It was a lot of work but it was fairly easy, if you showed up daily. She is a great prof and I would gladly take a class from her again.
good teacher
She is HOT!! Great teacher, go to class do the work and get an easy A
My friend got in a motorcycle accident on his way to turn in his assigment and when he called her 2 days later to tell her what happened she didn't feel bad for him at all and refused to accept his assignment (even after he came to class days later with half his skin grated off and on crutches).
She was a very good teacher!! I am bad at math but she taught very clearly and her tests were exactly what she taught. There was alot of homework but other than that it was great.
Great teacher to have for summer session. She's organized and begins the session with the hard stuff in the beginning rather than cramming it towards the end and will make sure that everyone understands what she is doing.
She has cool arm tats and speaks english as a first language, tons of office hours.
Leslie is a great math teacher. It doesn't take her the whole class to explain a section. She has a way of explaining it so you understand it the first time. Plus, she speaks english and she has some awsome tattoos.

Leslie is extremely nice and easy to follow and understand. Even if you are not a math person if you keep up with the class you will get an A. Her lectures were so clear and understandable that I never looked in the book once. She is willing to go out of her way to meet with you. She breaks everything down and gives tons of examples.
I looove this lady! She's so funny and sassy...also a kickass professor. She is perhaps the best math teacher I've ever had and that's saying a lot because I suck at math!
Ms. Arce is a cool lady, even though she HATES when people talk in her class. Mat 119 is the easiest class ever, but watch out for test 3.
never met her in person, but her 210 online is awesome (ifyou already know you can handle an online math class) Applied stuff with real situations, great if you aren't going any further in math and need 210 as a prereq for business classes
wasnt very helpful and didnt seem to care, at times looked confused after easy questions... i took her class hearing how great it would be but instead it was horrible
Sher is an awesome instructor. She is great out laying out the material so it is easy to understand. And, she keeps the class fun. But, no talking while she's teaching, she really hates when it happens.
She was the best prof that I had in the semester that I took her...I would definitely take other classes from her. She explains the information well and ensures that the class understands the material before moving forward.
She is awesome. You will love this class.
loved her class. Loved her tattoos. Loved her. I hated math going into her class but now it's actually interesting to me. i wish her calculus class was not online becuase i want her again. I would HIGHLY RECEMMEND her to anyone who loves math or who just wants to get through it alive. (that was me)
Leslie is a GREAT teacher. She does a terrific job in teaching and explaining the material. She is always available to assist students and she provides one-on-one help. Leslie also does a great job in maintaining a relaxed, easy going, and sometimes even fun atmosphere in the classroom. I definetely would take another class from Leslie.
First i have to agree with most of the people on here saying she is a total cutie and i love the ink. Next i have to say this is the first math class in college that i have actually not hated and actually passed the first time through. I highly recommend her class.
She is a bit eccentric. Hates text messaging in class, so don't do it. Explains things well... sometimes goes a bit too in depth. Tests are easy and she grades fair. Really good teacher.
One of the worst teachers I have had at ASU, midterm and final are nothing like any of the homework or web tests. Do not take calc from this teacher.
Very clear in her teaching and definitely know what she is doing. Her office hours are something that most students tend to overlook (very helpful). No textbook required, we had an online textbook and homework.
I took this class online over the summer and it was not easy in the least, but Leslie is an awesome teacher. She is very helpful, you just have to ask. Make sure you take advantage of extra credit and ask her questions if you're not 100% clear on something. I definitely recommend taking any of her classes!
Very hard online class, with extensive use of books and complimentary tutoring session on-campus. You need to stay on the top with this class. Leslie is helpful, but she will not tell you the answer. She will lead you to find it (which is what math is all about)
she does NOT explain things so that they make ANY logical sense, goes off on tangents and is so ditzy that she often allows students from other class times to take seats from students IN THEIR OWN CLASS, then makes them sit on the floor. her tests have NOTHING to do with hw or lecture. HORRIBLE!
Good teacher, acts aloof but it's easy to see she has a handle on all the material. Also, I kid you not, I would pound it. All night.
Even though she moves at a fast pace, she will always go back and answer questions. The tests are hard but not anything she hasn't gone over in class, they're just time consuming. I've never taken Calc before this and she teaches things in a way that make sense. Great Teacher and always available to email about questons, even late at night.
never rated a professor before, but had to recommend prof. arce. so great. made impossible math very comprehensible
I took MAT 117 last semester with her and got an A+ so I decided to take MAT 210 with her as well. (Both classes are online by the way, with midterms and finals on campus). Well I've never rated a professor on here before, but I just had to. She has been absolute awesome and by far the best professor I've had at ASU. Definitely take her class!
Really great teacher. Explains everything logically and is always willing to go back and explain something again. She emails back almost immediately. Not a hard class but definitely not an easy A.
By far the best math teacher i have ever had. She explains math in english which most teachers do not do. She is the most fair and generous math teacher i have and will ever have. She is great at one on one tutoring. Would definitely recommend her for MAT210 over any other teacher. Thanks again mrs. Arce for being clear and easily understood
I recommend this professor. She is pretty cute and easy to understand. She does take attendance, so make sure you go to class.
Very friendly and helpful.
i did not like this teacher one bit until i got my grade then i lightened up other than that shes terrible at teaching calculus
Maybe the best Math teacher I've ever had. The material was tough but her notes were clear and she made herself available for online chat sessions when I had trouble (and gave extra credit for attending said sessions). Tests are hard but can be pass if you study. Great communication and very patient with those of us who have a hard time with Math.
I took this class online. If you have taken a higher math prior to this class it shouldnt be a problem. The class is set up where the hw is worth the most points. So get all of the points on hw and do extra credit and you can get C's on the test and get a low A or high B!
By far the best math teacher i've ever had TAKE HER
Took online class. It was pretty easy as long as you stay on top of the homework.Only two exams midterm and final. Both are pretty tough but if you do the samples and study a little it shouldnt be a problem.
She's a great math teacher. She is very enthusiastic; tries to add a little humor. She is always willing to help you. Her class is pretty easy; lessons are easy to follow. Sometimes we get out after only 20-30 min of class! The exams are short. Go to class, take good notes, study a bit prior to exam, and you'll do good. I highly recommend her.
I took this class online. If you do all the homework assignments, online quizzes and the weekly extra credit she provides you will pass (make sure to get 100% on all assignments, it's easy!). I failed the midterm and final and I got a "C" in the course.
This teacher is the most helpful I've ever encountered. I strongly suggest you take her.
One of helpful Math teachers I have ever seen. The class is easy if you take notes, and listen to her. I love her class. If you are one of international students, then try to TAKE her class.
Greaaat Teacher! Attendance is mandatory but she teaches you everything you need to know. Take notes and make sure you do the examples in class. Homework is online My math Lab You have a week to finish two sections sometimes one. Questions are super easy especially on my math lab because they pretty much give you the answer. Take her shes the best!
Leslie's pretty cool. Class isn't too bad. The three exams are 50% of the grade, HW is easy and that's 25%, and the final is 25% of your grade. Tests multiple choice (no partial credit), but they're pretty similar to the reviews that are posted on the mat 170 site. I'd definitely recommend her.
Professor Arce is an awesome math instructor. She explained things in easy to understand terms and was always willing to meet with me to go over any issues I had. I took MAT 210 because I had to, but I had no real interest in the subject, and ended up getting an A+. If you have to take MAT 210, take her class!
Very helpful and always makes time for students. Take her for any/all math classes if possible.
Excellent professor, very quick with her responses and genuinely helpful. She's also very cute and has some amazing tattoos.
Professor Arce (R-say) is one of the best you can find. Attendance is mandatory but class is decently fun and not worth missing. HW 1-2x a week online. Gives group quizzes that she helps on. Tough grader on test. No curves. The material is tough but she's very clear & great during office hours. She's a spunky petite lady cover in tattoos.
Unfair grading practices for online course. Refuses to change grade for answers marked incorrect on online homework because of format, even when correct format was not requested in the question. I would not recommend this professor.
she is a cool teacher but the whole online Newton program sucks!!! more than 3/4 of the class was failing. the Ta's help out a lot but the online lectures are boring!! she pretty much doesn't do anything but grade and walk around.
If you're taking this online, think again...the material is extremely unorganized. She won't change grades, even when you've been marked wrong by error on the online system. Suggestion: find a different prof. or take this class in person.
I'm taking her online class. I HATE math but she is very accommodating when it comes to homework because she understands it's pretty tough material. Responds quickly, which I really appreciate. The strongly dislike the Knewton system, would probably like her class in person better.
MAT 117 was only offered online through knewton and was HORRIBLE. Even she seemed confused by the system. TA's were very helpful but she was usually rude and impatient when answering questions.
Took Calculus online. If you are planning to take this course online be prepared to learn the subject completely on your own. Not only that The online textbook was terrible to learn from! I honestly don't know why this teacher is paid to teach, because the few times I asked for assistance I was referred to the useless textbook.
She was a nice lady, but very scattered. I took her hybrid class and it was honestly a waste of time, it might as well have all been online. Not a difficult class and she allows you to finish early if you get through the material.
One of the best math teachers I've ever had. I took MAT210 with her, and trust me math is not my strong suit, but I got an A in that class. Very good and clear at teaching, I found her way of teaching easy to follow/understand. Doesn't put up with any crap, but in a good way. If you are cooperative and hard working, she is more than happy to help.
Don't take it online. A homework was due every single day. The explanations provided by the website ( not the teacher) did not help. The online course is completely taught by the homework site. Their midterm had errors in it. It was horrible.
Very good teacher, but difficult class. The homework is very challenging and this class took up a lot of my time. But, if you work hard you will get an A. I took this class online. If you have a hard time at math, this will be a very challenging course for you. There isn't a lot of time to do the homework and the sections in Knewton. No textbook.
I took her online. It was a lot of work for just one week. You had about 5 online assignments that you had to get at least a 70 on, homework that had to be uploaded and an exam every week. I worked really hard and ended up with a B.
Professor Arce was very accommodating with allowing me time to complete some assignments but the class is not easy. There are 5 units to complete w/ diagnostic for each unit after you watch some vid lectures. if you score 85% u move on, if not it can take forever. FAILURE's NOT AN OPTION IN UNITS! must pass and submit prblm set to take exam.
Do NOT take this online. The setup in ALEKS is terrible and very unclear. You can honestly spend hours doing assignments. She herself was not very accommodating when you have computer issues and do not have a back up. She takes a very long time to respond to questions if at all.
8 wk online course HORRIBLE.Teacher has nothing to do with course. No help from instructor, cares nothing about getting everyone set up in online program didn't list the book ahead of time and leaves you to learn Calc ALL on your own. DO NOT TAKE with this teacher - find a different instructor Had to drop don't have time to teach myself everything
DO NOT take online! webassign is the absolute worse homework program ever, the "net tutor" is a free trial and it doesn't show you the steps to figure out the problems so your pretty much just guessing to get the answer. site crashed and she told me i should have worked ahead...in an 8 week course. hw due daily.
I do not recommend her. Took her online course and it requires a lot of work to be done daily. There is no time to waste and its tough balancing with other classes.
I took this course online over the summer, and while you have to do A LOT of work everyday, Prof. Arce was very helpful and responsive to any E-Mail inquires I posted. She requires you to take the final in person, but the final is not difficult if you just do the work through the semester. I would recommend her anytime. Also, is she single?
Professor does not teach anything at all online. Simply has a website do all the work. Pathetic excuse for a professor. The ALEKS website also assumes that you should perfect everything you learn on THEIR website since Professor Arce does no teaching whatsoever. A lot of time spent confused with nothing but a book to look for immediate answers.
Choose another instructor! I had to ask for alot of help in this course, but most of the time she did not make clear the information. She would give alot of attitude, especially when you asked her questions "you should already know". I had to seek help from classmates just to keep up. I barely passed with a C. Not worth it!
Very clear and helpful. I highly recommend her.
Horrible Professor - Useless and rude. Barely passed the class with a c and studied 12 hours a day. Avoid her.
although I go to class twice a week, ASU really messed things up when they decided to make all mat117 classes online. The professor does as much as she can but if you don't go in for help when you need it, your out of luck. She's been pretty helpful to me and can get around to everyone pretty fast
Took online math course, Almost no participation from Instructor, but used good training tools from other instuctors. There were errors on some of the [re-tests] - over all class went well. If you are self motivated, you will do well. Final exam in proctored.
I took MAT142 online - Not sure why there is even an instructor for this class. It was all videos made by people other than the instructor and then self-work. The only thing I ever saw from the Prof was a copy/paste weekly "update." I despise math and was able to get an A.
honestly I tried to like her but she seemed stubborn and made mistakes all the time on my work problems, and marked me absent for days I was there. She also comes to class late all the time. She also brought her daughter to class two times, pretty unprofessional especially with the tattoos. But you don't really need her help because its online
A completely useless teacher. She tries to get involved but doesn't help. She sent me an email saying I missed 4 classes and If i missed a 5th I would fail the class..... I only missed 1 day of class and I had finished the math final by this time so theres no reason she should have marked me absent. She's the equivalent of a kindergarden teacher.
This class might be a good Plan B if you are unable to access a community college. Its difficult to learn the material without a teacher right in front of you. If you are already good at math then this will be an easy grade but if you suck at math like me get ready for hours of torment.
Good class. Very easy.
I did not feel comfortable asking her for help. She was short and often rude and made you feel dumb for asking questions. If you're good at math this class is great it's all online and you can finish early. If you're not or you procrastinate even once you'll struggle because of how little you interact with the teacher/TAs
Worst teacher ever. Does not help when you ask questions and thinks she is better than everyone else in class. If you get even a little behind, you're screwed for the rest of the semester.
She's awful. She belittles your intelligence and is unclear when teaching. Avoid this professor. She's always late.
Took this class as a hybrid and the day where we had to show up in class was pointless. She didn't help us at all, she had her TA's do the work. The practice test didn't have much to do with the actual test. She isn't helpful and she can come off as rude and uninterested.
This professor is extremely rude. She looks down on students and makes you feel stupid for asking any questions. Online wasn't so bad because I never had to see her, but I still wouldn't recommend this professor.
This course i real fast pacded over the summer... but I did take with two other courses as well. Just be sure to get at least 80 percent of the study plan done and 80 and above on the quizes and you will be fine.. really fast paced though dont slack. other than that a good class.
I already took this class in high school, but my major didn't require anything higher so I figured it would be an easy A. It was listed as an in-person course but when I showed up, everything was online. She taught us how to do problems the first two weeks but then stopped and told us we had to depend on the online lectures by a different professor
A lot of work, no lessons. Do not take this.
By far the worst teacher I have had this semester. I expected an in-person lecture but in reality the class is based off of self-teaching from videos that aren't even her. The TAs, who are foreign so it is hard to understand what they are saying, answer all questions. Terrible class, especially if math doesn't come easy to you(like me).
No help.... She does not explain when asked. Very scary.
Terrible math teacher! Does not help you at all! In the lecture class you expect her to actually teach, all she does is sit and do nothing. All of the work, have to teach yourself all of the material. Easy to pass, if you do all of the mastery points and pass the final exam
The previous reviews of this professor don't even sound like the same person I am talking about. She was helpful and nice, the only bad thing was she didn't go over much in class since most of the material is online. The class was a breeze for me, so I didn't really need much help. I think the structure of the course is what people don't like.
You can come to her for anything you have a question on and she will gladly help. Her TA's are really helpful also. She is absolutely approachable.
Took MAT 251 online with this teacher and she is awful! If you signed up for this drop! Tests and HW is hard and don't expect to get half credit for anything! Would never take a class of her's again!
If you're looking to learn in class, don't. She barely taught anything all year. Her class is basically online. There were a few helpful TA's, but she had attitude if you asked her for help. She was, however, cut and dry about everything which helped to get stuff done.
Do your mastery points, pretty straightforward.
She has checked out. You pay for the class at ASU, but she just makes you take a $90 MathLab course. The syllabus doesn't match the course, videos contract the quizes, and she is NO HELP at all. You use Piazza, where students are supposed to help each other, that way she doesn't have to. But it turned into a mutiny. Class was miserable, misdirected
Doesn't seem to be a helpful person at all and not very accommodating. You get more help talking to a stuff animal then you would with her. The amount paid for this class isn't worth it if she's teaching it and here's why. Lectures are non-existent. Everything is on Mymathlab which $95 subscription for the semester, yet you pay $$$$ for what now?
When you ask for help, she will tell you to review your notes and not help you at all. If you do not have the notes, then that's unfortunate and she won't help at all. Gives a lot of homework but none of the material is on tests, tests are way harder than homework and quizzes. No practice exam, no curve, tests more important than everything else.
