Do not take this professfor if you are not that good in math. She will just confuse you more. Lecture in class is not similar to reviews for test , you will need to go to office hours because you will find that many questions are confusing. She claims that the reviews are like the test and for the first two test they are but not on the third.

Shroyer is a really caring professor. She gave our class lots of extra credit. I will tell you that you will not do well in this class if you expect to understand the material right away during lecture. You will have to work pretty hard mostly by studying past online homework and quizzes because the class notes do little to no help at all.

SO you basically know what on the test. However the reviews are very long there about 40-60 or so questions. Recommend going to SI, it REALLY Helps.

She made her expectation/syllabus very clear which was nice The tests are heavy weightage therefore DO THE TEST REVIEWS! They are very similar to the test and she allows a flashcard. A lot of homework and its time consuming. I would recommend her if you're willing to put in the effort but if you're not good at math then take someone else. Good luck

She is very patient, understanding, and wants her students to succeed in her course. She also gives a lot of extra credit if you complete the test reviews. Her notes are also very clear, well explained, and organized. Attendance isn't mandatory, but strongly recommended in order to do well in this course.

She was a good professor. Attendance isn't mandatory but it's a good idea to go in order to grasp concepts better. She rambles a little but not awful. Her tests are based off review questions, so do the reviews... also you're allowed two sides of a notecard for the tests. However, I found that the final was not like the tests we were told to study.

Shroyer was one of the best math professors I've had. She has a way to make math actually fun and easy. She never gets frustrated and always takes the time to answer any questions you may have. If I had attended class I definitely would've had a higher grade however, attendance isn't mandatory.

I liked her, but due to the nature of the course, went through topics very quickly. I took a similar course in HS, but others who didn't were getting left behind. Left for maternity leave after Test 2 and made sure Dr. Shroff followed how she was teaching, but a transition mid-semester is going to have issues. Allowed 1 notecard of notes on tests.

Professor Shroyer is the best teacher I have had so far at Texas State. She is very nice and understanding, and takes time to get to know you. She gives lots of extra credit, reviews, and makes the test very similar. I was worried about my grade for this class coming into this semester, and I am sitting at an A with the semester almost over.

I was absolutely terrified to take this class, but she made it super easy. The material is well paced and she always lets us out early. The tests are taken from the reviews and she allows a 3x5 note card. There's no extra credit, but homework is weighted heavily. She drops the lowest test grade and always answers questions clearly when asked.

She is an excellent professor. All of the tests are based on the review she gives; if you study it, you'll do well. She also allows us to use a 3x5 note card for the test. You must attend the lecture to fully understand the subject, but she explains everything as she goes and answers any questions students may have.

I liked Mrs. Shroyer, even if her lectures could rarely keep my attention. She was very nice and helpful when needed. The content is hard if you're not big on math, but the homework helps, and she does make the tests as easy as possible. Significant extra credit is given, and you can fill both sides of a notecard for all three tests and the final.

Shroyer is a very sweet lady, but not a great teacher. She makes a lot of mistakes in her equations that the class needs to constantly correct her on. Another grievance I have is she's not great at explaining, and will rush through problems. She makes reviews, which are great and if you study them you will do good on the tests.

Professor Shroyer is a very kind lady, but I found her lectures hard to follow. She goes over the material fast, and it is hard to understand. The homework is way more difficult than the notes, but the material can be taught to you on Youtube. Do her reviews, they are very similar to the tests. Work hard and you will be fine.

Shroyer was a great lecturer! She is super sweet and very helpful during her office hours. She did mess up on problems occasionally and rushed through some of them, so if you don't understand them, attend office hours or YouTube them. Homeworks are worth more than you think and reviews are just like the tests. SO STUDY.

I used to struggle very badly with math all my life, but her class helped me understand every single lesson we went over. I never felt lost throughout the entire year because she prepares you so well with her notes and lectures.

She's really bubbly and a great professor! Her work was easy and I only took one exam throughout the whole semester. If you miss class you can make up the notes. She does require you to print off blank notes. She does respond to emails late so be prepared for that. Other than that, I would love to take her class again!

Lecture attendance is not for a grade, but you will struggle if you do not go to class and learn. Homework is given over every small unit you learn-- do the homework. There are many homework assignments, & it helps your grade a lot. There are 3 tests & she makes them easy. You get a small cheat sheet & she gives reviews very similar to the test.

We were given reviews that matched her tests almost exactly. So pay attention in class, and do the review guides and you'll be fine.

Honestly this lady is the sweetest woman on planet earth, love her. I just could not keep up with her teaching style and the workload. If you are not quick to pick things up and are taking a lot of other classes on top of this one, reconsider taking this class at the same time. She just goes way too fast and does not give a lot of extra credit.

Homework is self-paced you get almost weeks to do it and can work ahead(If you do it 3 days before due date you get 5+pts). Allows front and back note cards for test which are very useful.

She was very nice personality-wise. She made math a little more approachable. The class is so much better with going to off was only difficult because I struggle with math, but her office hours helped so much as well as a good study group. Some of the homeworks are difficult to complete due to how technical it is (open answer).
