She is a really nice and good teacher, she is new but will explain everything very clearly. If you don't understand something, you can go into her office. I attended class everyday, but she gives you her whole syllabus at the beginning of the year. Tests aren't long, quizzes and hw is easy. She is really nice I would take her class again.

Prof. Orlando is the definition of a passionate math teacher. She definitely interacts well with students in her class and strives for them to understand and apply comprehension to quiz, homeworks, and exams. She is also down to earth. Able to strike a very civilized conversation --- not the weird and awkward student to instructor comprehension.

She drops the lowest 6 quiz grades. Tests are done at testing center. I would highly recommend her. If you put forth an effort, you will have no problems passing her class.

She is the perfect professor to take if you struggle in math. She is very thorough and helpful to students who need any help. ALWAYS had a positive attitude! 4 exams and quizzes every week (based on homework). If you show up to class, do your HW, and participate you'll be good! Great professor

This is one of the best professors I have ever had, her voice is amazing and her laugh is contagious. It is quite easy to get her to laugh as well so you will hear it often! Positive vibes flow from her, she is caring to those who participate and give a solid effort. This is the first time I have enjoyed a math class & I am a known trouble maker.

I am currently taking MATH 2413 with Dr. Orlando and she has been amazing! Math is usually my worst subject because I don't have a solid foundation but with Dr. Orlando's lectures, I have been able to understand the content and do well on the exams. Her grading policy is clear and while she doesn't drop the final exam, she does drop a few quizzes.

Mrs. Orlando is a great prof. As long as you pay attention in class and do weekly(very easy) hw, you'll be fine. She is a nice grader, gives partial points on tests and quizzes. Super friendly, accessible, gave earplugs in class for tests which was nice because I have sensory issues. Highly recommend! She's great!

Calculus is a notoriously difficult course for many students. However, Prof Orlando works tirelessly with her students in class and during office hours to help wrap their heads around the presented concepts. She is warm, approachable, inspiring, and never condescending, even when asked to review concepts as far back as Algebra. She's just great.

Professor Orlando is awesome I hate math and I still do but she explains the concepts so well. I took her class during the pandemic so the tests were take home and open note. I never expected to get an A in a college math class but I did . I was thrilled to find out she teaches elementary statistics I will definitely be taking her again for math.

She's a sweetheart and tries her best to help you learn. Even better when Professor Merced is scowling behind her which exemplifies her calm and supportive demeanour (I say this in a good way if you're reading Professor Merced)

I feel like she's the perfect balance of strict and chill. She teaches effectively and does not hesitate to help however she can even if that means repeating the same concept in different ways. She's very patient! I hope she gets her own class one of these days. She deserves it.

I've never seen an entire class (30+ students) show up for office hours daily and still struggle. Daily homework quizzes are strict; if you don't follow her method, you fail. Even if you use a method she taught, points get deducted if it's not her preferred approach. Tests are graded the same way. Avoid this class if you want to pass!

I really love the way Professor Orlando teaches, sure she does give like 3 homework each day and they need to be turned in the next day, but she makes it really easy to understand math problems. lectures don't take long so you will have plenty of time to finish the homework during class.

She made the experience super easy and stress-free. She's really organized and clear about what's expected, which made it easy to stay on top of things. Her class has a relaxed vibe, and she's very approachable if you ever need help or clarification.

Professor Orlando was amazing and this review is long overdue as I had her alongside Professor Barry back in 2023. What an amazing duo! Lots of homework but you can complete in class… don't miss even a single day or you'll be super behind!
