I'm in the 1450 class with Linda at Macomb Community and she is a good teacher, but 1450 is a class that "factors" out the unmotivated students because coming to class unprepared will guarantee you an F. The work load is huge, and the demand is high as it would be in any college course. This class establish the foundation for Calculus.

The best instructor ever. She gives you what you should do ,and she has very clear grading system. If you study you will get an easy A. Yes there are quizzes every other day, but they are home quizzes. Also, all the tests are similar to to the quizzes. She offers many extra credit Opportunities. Defiantly recommended!!

I liked Mrs. Britton as a person, but shes not a great professor. She glosses over major components of chapters, spends too much time on the simpler components, and expects us to be able to fill in the blanks when she leaves things out. Shes scattered sometimes which doesnt help. I wouldnt recommend her class for these reasons.

Is a great professor there is a good amount of homework but it's all online and easy to complete throughout the week. If you show up and listen and are active in the classroom you will do great.
