She is very thorough and answers questions you may have until you understand the problem or chapter. Her lectures include writing rules and formulas on the board which is very helpful in comprehending new math. She is friendly.
She is very thorough and precise on teaching the concepts of the subject. It has been a pleasure being a student of the greatest teacher in math as well as profession. Always helpful, respectful, and fair with the students in or out of classroom.
Young, just became a "Dr."....very approachable and understandable. Always makes sure everyone is on the same page. Asks for questions and actually explains them... Highly rec. for any course... :)
She's a good teacher but she is really, really boring. If you decide to take her class, take it during the day because if you take it at night you'll fall asleep.
Awesome teacher! Very helpful and really helps you to understand everything need for the test. I have had many different math teachers, but she is by far the best and coolest!
Awesome teacher! very good at making all information available for tests. She goes over everything piece by piece so you know it very well. I did the best I have ever done in math in her class!
She is really boring and speaks in a monotone voice the whole time. Students have to correct her five to six times a class. However, she knows her math.
SHE MADE ME LOVE MATH AGAIN, SHE EXPLAIN EVERY THING DOWN TO THE TEETH. SHE GOES OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP STUDENTS AND IF YOU ARE DOMB, SHE WILL MAKE YOU BECOME SMART AND A MATH WIZ. LOVE HER, THANKS FOR BEING A WONDERFUL TEACHER!
very nice and friendly teacher! she'll find a way to help you as long as you're willing to learn..

Can you say MONOTONE?!?! So boring! Her voice makes you fall asleep. She knows math, but she is not a good teacher, she gets upset when asked the same questions over again.She yells about cellphones and stuff yet hers can go off during a lession!
Excellent instructor. Takes time to answer questions in class. Keeps cell phone off and requests students do same. Responds to email questions quickly and efficiently with very thorough and detailed answers. Not boring at all. Highly recommended!
Worst teacher ever. Speaks monotone. Bored the heck out of me. But do the homework and you'll be fine
anybody who says that this teacher is any good is a moron or a liar. We had to correct her countless times and she always yelled about cell phones going off in class, and she spoke monotone. This class was terrible. Don't take a thing with this teacher
This teacher is very clear on what she wants you to learn. If you put forth the effort and do the work it's an easy A. Cell phones off and no distractions during her lecture. gives plenty of time for students to unwind at beginning of class-
This teacher has a bad attiude if you are a pretty girl she will not like you. I asked a question and she gave me a smart remark. On the other hand her class is easy to pass.She gives you a fare grade on test and does not grade HW.
Very easy teacher. You don't need to do the homework to pass the tests. She speaks in a monotone voice that will eventually begin to bore you; however, she is very clear on what you need to know and drops your lowestest test score. 5 tests total.
Dr. Cohen presents the material in a more than understandable format. I appreciated her teaching methods. She is a plus to Valencia and I highly recommend her!
She teaches you everything you need to know. She help you no matter if your the homecoming queen or the kid who needs to take a shower. She understands taht math is not your life an you want to spend as less time a possible with it.
MONOTONE! She is the worst person i have ever met. She always yells about cell phones, and hers goes off in class. HORRIBLE teacher, she gets mad if you dont understand the lession. If she is done with her lession, she will still make u sit in class
Prof. Cohen does an excellent job. She teaches in a manner which is understood by many. She doesn't grade homework or hold you accountable for attendance. If you go to class you will pass.
Take it from someone who has failed algebra 3 times, paid someone to pass it for them to grad. highschool, and failed it once already in valencia. This is the first time I think I ever understood anything and was anxious to learn more. She walks you through EVERYTHING! and shes funny. BEST EVER!
A very good math teacher, she helps you if you are having trouble. She will make sure you will understand. I do not get what is the problem with some people who posted here. They made it look like she is a red-headed monster. I can tell you that she is far from that.
shes cool, and funny, and explains everything, and answers every question
I took this class over the summer, and she was great. Sure she doesn't like cell phones going off, but who does...especially in class! She's nice, helps out a lot and wants to see you do well. Keep up with the homework, and you'll be fine.
teacher sucks
No Comments
She is a good teacher. Do the homeworks that she tells you to you will be fine. Gives you probles that will be on the test and I if you do them you will see the same problems on the test. I would take her again. Not mean on the ringing of the cell phones, but try to keep them off as mush as possible
cool teacher
She was wonderful. For someone who has to work a little bit harder to make math make sense, she was a Godsend. She truthfully wants to see you do well. Talk to her if you are having trouble. Use the math lab. She works there and will spend hours helping if you need it! She's the best!
This semester has been so fun so far. Professor Cohen is very down to earth and acts like your peer. She gives amazing direction and lectures. She is also one of the nicest people I have yet to meet in Florida. She is extremely smart and can answer almost any question you might have.
Great professor. She answers ALL questions and makes sure that everyone understands. I call it remedial trig b/c it moves so slow. You would have to try to fail. Very clear, realistic and fair. Do the homework, she explains it so it makes sense. You will pass if you make an honest effort.
This teacher is a very good teacher. She doesnt require you to do the homework but if you don't you will just be hurting yourself. Study the review and homework for the tests and you will get a good grade.
I took her for trig and it was my first time ever being in a Trig class and she made it quite easy to learn. She spends time helping those that want to be helped even in the evening after class. I liked her teaching style so much that I am taking again for business calculus.
Have her for Biz Calc, she's clear in what she teaches. She's willing to help, you just have to ask. She truly wants everyone to learn. Won't hand hold if you don't know Algebra. Class tough, teacher awesome.

Awesome teacher! She doesn't require that you turn in homework which is a plus for me since I'm ADD and normally don't finish it all in time for class. Also the way she teaches is awesome, it looks like I'll actually pass College Algebra this semester (I took it from a different teacher who dropped me and waited till I showed up to take the final to tell me) Proco is awesome and explains everything very clearly. I deffinately will try to get her for future classes.
Oh my goodness!!! best teacher ever!! i seriously want to take extra maths just to be in her class. so clear, so interested and so genuinely concerned! i've taken her for two semesters and loved it. i scheduled my whole semester around her class. take this class!!!!
I took her academic systems class. The math sucks, but she's great. She is really understanding and easy to approach. She makes sure you get it. She won't hold your hand though.
she def knows her stuff. she..on the other hand...is a little rough around the edges. but i cant ask for every teacher to mend themselves to my personality. like i said she def knows her stuff. if you know what you are doing then i def reccomend her. if you need a little more help then everyone else, i would say find someone more helpful.
i had her for pre-calc algebra and she was awesome! she wrote everything you needed to know on the board and took homework questions before starting any new lesson. she grades the test answers in partial credit [she looks at your work and if you knew the steps but messed up the math shell give you 1/2 the points]. i think anyone with trouble in mat
Lisa helped me with my calculator when it died when no one else would! COHEN, YOU ROCK, GIRL!!!
Lisa rules. If you take the course seriously, she will take the time to make sure you understand the material.
best math teacher ever. seriously. stay on top of the material, though!
Helpful, clear, organized x 4! An asset to VCC. Highest recommendation.
took her for 1033c it be easy if you go and do the work. i dropped it because i had a 59% because i didnt go to class do homework or go to the labs and that good stuff. but i thought she was an excellent teacher, and did a good job at explaining and keeping the class interesting despite the fact that it was at night. you just actualy have to try.
Great Professor, I didnt really get much from her style of teaching. I would take her if you like math though. She is funny and being in her class is enjoyable. I am just the type of student that needs lots of in class examples. Not good in math. Ohh, dont buy the lab book, its a waste of money, we used it twice in the semester.
I had not taken math in quite some time and was nervous to get back into it. I did quite well, she made the class interesting and kept my attention. Very fair in testing. Good professor, wish she was teaching College Algebra, would definitely have her as a professor again!
I enjoyed her class. She actually made math fun. She had a quirky personality, and I have never had a math class be my favorite class to attend during any semester. I would take her again. *Note* Use the video's offered in the library, and the student solution manual when studying. They helped me get an A. I don't think I could have done it w
Best Math teacher! She's a must take for Math classes.
She rocks. She's a solid teacher. She doesn't baby you, but I don't think she pushes you too hard either. Right in the middle of the road. Fair. And she doesn't grade attendance (!!!!)
She makes math pretty fun. Gives us good notes and test are just what she says and she gives partial credit! She got my class excited for a "low test grade drop" and nver gave it to us:darn. Also, she made us take 3 big test in one week: hella mean / wrong
If you suck in math....Lisa Cohen is your professor. She rocks!
Ms. Lisa rocks, It doesn't matter if you are good in math or not, as long as you go to class take notes and practice at home you are straight. Lets be real not everyone is good in math, but if you don't practice yourself you never going to get better at it.
OMG.I LOVE HER. SHE IS THE BEST. WHY DONT PEOPLE LIKE HER TEACH IN HIGH SHOOL? TAKE HER FOR EVERY COURSE SHE TEACHES. I HAVENT PASSED A TEST IN MATH IN YEARS. AND I HAVE AN A IN HER CLASS NOW... DO THE RIGHT THING, PICK L.COHEN..
SHE IS AMAZING! Ok seriously i have always been a C-D student! 1 semester in her class & i have a 92 average! Attendance is a MUST! Gives notes and examples all class so take notes & ask questions. The class is based on tests,its OK cuz her tests r EXACTLY what she taught. She will even give u review ques. Shes great @ explaining!
I havent done math in years, and she has totaly revived my interest. She is an awesome teacher, and explains things well. That being said it is still up to you to do the homework and take notes, she wont help you get "caught up" if you fall behind. Attend every class and do the homework and you will do good in her class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER
Overall,the teacher is very helpful,fun,and more than fair.She gives you at least some credit if you try.Like most good professors,she cares that you learn.if you are serious & show her that you want to succeed, she will do all she can to help you make the grade.if you're a guy,she makes math look really good whilst teaching it! Cheers prof cohen!
Pro Co is THE BEST MAYH teacher that I have ever had. I had attempted college algebra three times before I had her and failed or withdrew all of them. I hate algebra with a passion and she was so helpful. If you show that you are willing to work hard and try your very best, she will help you as much as she can. I got a B!
Professor Cohen was hands down the best math teacher I've ever had! I worked my ass off in this class however and managed to get an A (I was 1 of 2 that did) She knows math better than anyone and explains material clearly and in a fun way. Some complained she liked to Brag about her intelegence, but anyone who studies the length of ocean waves can.
Math has been my largest downfall in college. I have had trouble completing the prep courses I was suprised to be even in this course. Through her way of testing her notes are very clear and go hand to hand with the test. She responds to email very promptly and has excellent advice for students with anxiety such as myself.
just take her, theres really now one else as kick-a$$ as her! SHes funny, smart, helpful, organized and always in a cheerful mood. SHe makes sure you know your stuff for the exist exams..I love her! She enjoys funny ecard too.lol.

sounds like sour grapes to me from the person below... dont believe a word... she's wonderful. people arent perfect and we all are sarcastic at times.. GET OVER YOURSELF TO THE PERSON BELOW. Cohen is great!!! =0)
Math is not an easy subject for me. Prof. Cohen is clear and will go over stuff multiple times if need be. The tests aren't a walk in the park so STUDY. If you have an SL and you can go.. go! Overall not bad. Not the BEST Math teacher I've ever had but pretty darn good. She's a bit sarcastic but in a funny way unless you can't handle a joke.
this class was soo easy for me. She teaches pretty well. Has things called cornerstones that help you on the test. her final was multiple choice and easy. just study and do the homework. you should do fine in the class. She has a sense of humor unlike the other teachers in VCC. I would def. recommend her. i left with a solid A in the class...
She very easy to understand and she explains everything very well and clearly. DO YOUR HOMEWORK and its an easy A!!!
Awesome teacher! She's very clear.. Usually i hate math but her class wasn't bad. Her first few tests have cornerstones which make the test a lot easier so its great!
I took her for College Alg. The class was alright and I got a high A, but if you don't like math and don't already know a lot I wouldn't recommend her
Great Professor. I like the her teaching style very up beat and engaging.
Professor Cohen is the best math teacher i have ever had. i was an ok math student before i took this class. i will be taking every math class she offers. she is incredibly helpful and makes sure you understand everything. she is amazing. as long as you show up and take notes you are sure to get an A
Professor Cohen is a great instructer and wants to see her students succeed. If I could take her for every one of my classes I would. She has plenty of time for every one:)
Very helpful ans lowke
SHE ROCKS!!!
I took her beginning algebra summer-B course. This lady is amazing. She's the type of teacher you don't want to disappoint. Her lectures are worth going to class for, she explains things clearly without boring you and its not too overwhelming. She's also pretty funny and will keep you entertained.
If you want a young, fun, and entertaining teacher, take Professor Cohen. But if you are not very good at math, I would not recommend her. She breezes through chapters and kind of expects you to pick it up quickly. Nice lady though.
Lisa Cohen is a terrible teacher she goes to fast in class. And on top of that she don't really teach anything she just give you the answers.
Great teacher! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She's entertaining and funny. She always answers your questions. Teaches at good pace. Reviews homework each day.
I am usually a horrrrriblleee student in math but professor cohen was awesome!! i understod everything and the class was a breeze for me shes funny and keeps it interesting. i would take her again. and i reccomend you do to.
If you can make it past the midterm it gets easier. Not an easy A but if you do the work and show up for the lectures you can make it. She was a bit hard to understand at first. She will give extra credit, drop lowest test score but only after midterm. Good professor.
Only Take her if you know the material well already. She moves fast in the material. Tests are okay, you have to really study to get an A. Wasnt the best professor for my learning habits but maybe for yours.
Take her, she is the best math teacher. I suck at math and I got an A. Just do the homework and bring it in the next class, she will go over it and answer any questions you have. Super nice, very helpful, definitely take her.
professor makes you feel awful for not knowing the material, loves saying "this is all review" as well as teaching you simplistic problems but giving you way more complex ones on the test. will stop teaching if the class doesn't know what she's talking about and will just stand there and say "i have all day." do not take her if you want to pass.
Prof. Cohen is funny, but she expects you to know the concepts of all prerequisites. Tests are hard and no extra credit, but she is very fair with grading.Don't buy the book, only the access code for online h/w. It is hard to find the perfect math teacher in Valencia, but she would the one who I would Def. take again. Ask questions, she loves that.
I am absolutely so thankful I took this class with her! This woman knows how to teach, now if you're willing to put forth the effort to actually learn, that's on you! It's not an easy A, but she will teach you all you need to know! I received an A in her class and I am definitely taking her again!
Great Professor. She is always willing to help and explains everything in the most simple way possible. She teaches factoring in a way that even the biggest noob can understand it. She goes through the material rather fast, but if you do the online homework you will be fine. She refuses to teach anything twice, so make sure you go to every class.
She is an awesome teacher! I had a C going in to the final and after the final i had a B!! I dont know how i pulled through that. Over all it is a good class, just do your hw and you will be fine!
I have not passed the class yet as I'm currently taking ProCo's class. So this is not based on whether I pass or not but based on professionalism. ProCo as she's called is not very humble due to her being big headed. She keeps on insisting she's old and experienced and mature. Un-humble/ Full-hearty/ arrogant/ boastful/ stuck-up.
This Professor has no motivation to teach or make a good enviroment in the classroom. She makes jokes about the students' ability to understand. she does not answer the students' questions with clarity, she should not be a teacher if she is not willing to help the student.
MOST UNPROFESIONAL TEACHER ON CAMPUS.SHE WILL DOWNGRADE YOU TO THE LEVEL OF STUPIDITY SAYING THAT IF YOU DIDNT GET IT THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU DONT BELONG IN THE CLASS OR THAT ITS ALL REVIEW. SHE MAKES CONTINOUS MISTAKES WHILE TEACHING, MOST MATERIAL SHE COVERS IS NOT WHAT APPEARS ON TESTS.
Very stuck-up teacher, will put down students learning ability. Does not like to answer what she believes are stupid questions. If you struggle with math as a whole and want to pass do not take this professor.
Very rude and unprofessional. Does not have the patience and kindness to deal with her students. If you struggle with math dont take her she will make your life miserable.
I've had Professor Cohen for a few courses now. She's very helpful and wants to see her students succeed. She has gone above and beyond for her students. If you don't understand a concept, just ask. If you do all of the homework, she will have more respect for you when you ask a question, trust me.
DON'T TAKE HER!!teaches well but she's mean, rude nd very awful w/ interacting w/ her students.WILL EMBARASS U! hurt UR SELFCONFIDENCE!DOES NOT CARE even if try ur bestest best or die for math.To her, if u don't understand,"GET OUT OF THE CLASS!!" she'll say it to u front of the clss! she needs to learn some respect beside being smart w/ math.
She is very fair with the class and not disrespectful. Her teaching style simply conveys more of a "try hard, and don't waste my time if you aren't going to". Trig can be tricky, but as long as you can keep up with your homework, you can keep up with the class.
She is not a professor who will hand you an A. She makes you work your booty off for it, as it should be done. So if you are looking for a handout, don't take this class. If you really want to learn, and are willing to do the work, then for sure, take her. You won't regret it. DO YOUR HOMEWORK, DO YOUR HOMEWORK, DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
Does'nt like to help students..If you struggle with math do not take her. All she says is you need to go back and review..She does not like to help and will make you look stupid infront of the class if you ask her a reasonable question. HW is online and do not really help you. If you do not pass the test you will not pass the class.
Prof. Cohen was hard, i went to tutoring twice a week and did all of the homework. Her grading is fare and if she see's you are understanding the material she will grade you on what you know. I got a B in the class and learned a lot.Take her she's not as bad as everyone makes her out to be.
Pro. CO is a great teacher. Advise: Try, go to class, and go over all your notes regularly.
Awesome teacher! really cares for her students!
She puts students down in front of class. very boring, skips from one chapter to the other. makes you look dumb when u ask a questions by asking for "for real, did u really ask that question?" Lets u know in advanced she doesnt have time to cover each section. She expects you to participate in class but I found all students lost in her lecture.
Worst Professor of my collegiate career.
She's very honest when it comes to teaching, and she lets you know how to pass grades, she was very kind to me even though i chose to slack in her classes, if your serious with work its an easy pass
Took for Intermediate. Homework online, nothing else. 4 tests which are pretty challenging. Isn't clear on what tests will be like, and is almost impossible to get in contact with. She isn't very dedicated to the class and hates answering questions. Not sure why she has good ratings. Only positive is she gives good examples as notes
She is unprofessional! She comes to class looking like one of the students. She does not help students with questions and gives not guidance on preparing for tests.
Do not take this course online! The worst I have ever taken.She gives test review that is nothing like the test.Her chapter notes don't open and power points are mislabeled. Her answer key for req'd assignments have wrong answers on them. This class is simply designed for failure! Majority of grade is 4 tests.
She is extremly an honest teacher, she will tell you exactly how it is rather its dealing with math or other relevant subjects..great teacher, if you want to learn take her class if you just want to glide through don't..come to class and do your homework. she will help you out more.
I took this class online over summer. It was very hard. you have to teach yourself everything. If you are good at math and can teach yourself its great for you. I had to withdraw because I needed a teacher to actually teach me.
Took online in the summer. For each chapter, you have to do the homework and quiz in MML, do the practice problems in the book and email them to her, and then go to the testing center to take the test. You should do the practice problems in MML as much as you can!!That's how I got an A. The test are hard, but she's a fair grader. I would recommend.
A lot of work and u need to work on HW almost everyday if you want to keep up. Assng and Q is not difficult but Test will be in testing center and that's tough. Better do all your Q, HW and Assgn before you take on test. Do not need a book, but have to buy online access to MML which has e-book. She grades fair and removes lowest quiz and HW.
Great professor. I have the textbook for sale. four oh seven six nine oh six four four three. dt orl. take lisa's class. she's great
She is very helpful and I learned a lot in here. I hate math, but she helped me through it. Her sarcasm is something to be taken lightly, as she means nothing by it. If you care about the course and try to learn the material, she will help you as much as she can. If you just scmooze for a better grade, then you probably dont deserve it fool!
LOVE HER CLASS!!!! SHE IS AWESOME WISH SHE HAD INTERMEDIATE BC I WOULD SIGN UP FOR HER CLASS AGAIN!!!
No idea how this woman got such a high rating. If you pay attention and do your work, you will *probably* pass. Cohen is rude, sarcastic and chaotic in class. Disrespectful to students , clearly disregards anyone's needs unless they coincide with her own.
Calculus hard enough as it is, then I take it with her online! She would not budge on notes or formula card for any test, not like other MAT and STA classes I have taken. the mathlab H.M is not adequate for passing her test. I worked longer and harder for this low B then any other class I have ever taken! wouldn't take a class with her again.
Not a bad Prof. She can be a bit condescending at times, but (while other students were whining/complaining) her slick comments pushed me to work harder. Take notes, pay attention, do your homework, and participate in class.
She does not respond to students email. This class is so you can teach yourself. DO NOT TAKE HER COURSE!
Would not recommend. I spent most of my time in the S.P.A since she did not explain things well. I had to mostly teach myself. All h/w is done online & some is also NOT what you learned in class. She never teaches it so you can either get an X if you don't know it or skip it. My grade before this class was an A+ in 0018.
This lady is the rudest professor I've ever experienced. She puts her students down when they ask a question. It didn't bother me until she completely embarrassed me in front of the class just because I didn't have the answer to a problem as fast as my other classmates. Never taking her class again. I would never recommend her. I warned you.
was rude and didnt explain things well. she made me feel dumb and idid not feel comfortable to even ask questions because she contantly repeated how you should already know the material. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!
She wastes a lot of time talking about random things and tries to hold the class when she runs out of time teaching.
All the students below this post probably did not show up to her class regularly. Im dumb as hell when it comes to math and i passed her tests with flying colors. Yes she can be sarcastic at times but in reality who isnt? She continuously goes over the problems and makes sure all the students understand the concept. SHOW UP TO CLASS!!
While ProCo may have a dry sense of humor when it comes to her students, she is quite funny and has a real passion for math. THIS IS COLLEGE and students need to be responsible for themselves. Do your homework, study, take notes, work hard and you can pass her class. She's an awesome teacher and her SL is a great benefit to her students.
I hate math but I loved this teacher. If you are a smart mouth and try to be a wise guy she'll put you in your pace and I love it! She's a great teacher, you also have to make this class somewhat of a priority if you'd like to succeed. HIGHLY SUGGEST.
Not helpful, makes you feel like you cant ask any questions and if you do she makes you feel dumb for not knowing.
you are in college now....act like it! pay attention, come to class, take notes and do the homework....all of it. you will pass if you pay attention. don't be a jokester. she really knows her math. I learned so much from her. I wish I could have her for all my math classes. :)
Took online. It takes time and you have to do hm and questions. Testing is tough but ok teacher to pass if you keep up with due dates.
Cohoen knows her stuff. pay attention...sit in the front and do the work. Great teacher. I wish I could have her for all my math classes. Just great!!!!
She was horrible , she did not give you the right materials to study for , if you asked her a question she made you feel dumb , her class average on tests were horrible , thank you for making me fail professor cohen
I would'nt even think about taking this teacher if I were you. Makes you feel absolutely STUPID, so no one asks qestions, ever. goes through problems in seconds, and if you don't understand she blames it on the fact that you're not studying enough. Do yourself the worlds biggest favor. and her Tests are the worlds most difficult.
Literally the worst teacher i have ever had in my whole life. she talks down to her students and if you ask her questions she makes you feel stupid. someone said i thought the 6 moves over? her response was "if you are doing it that way then go play the lotto cause your just going to fail" instead of helping him smh
Prof. Cohen is not the best teacher at all. She is very jumpy and unclear. If your unclear, it makes no sense to ask for clarity because she will have you second guessing again. She does examples first then gives your notes. So you are basically jumping around in your head trying to figure out what she is teaching. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER AT ALL!

She's clear, straightforward, and authentically facetious. she's kind of my hero. I will always sign up for her class any day.
WORST CLASS EVER.
She knows her stuff and the class really isn't that hard so long as you keep up with hw. I just didn't like her personality, talked down to students, would get mad if people didn't participate and she was really unorganized. If you don't procrastinate you should be fine, just study a lot. If you're just looking for an easy A then find someone else.
Very unclear and prude teacher. She has a nasty habit of berating students. Very unorganized teacher. Save yourself the headache and take a different math teacher, because if you have the nerve to ask for help, you wont get it from this teacher.
FOR 0288C & 1033 // If you don't give her any BS she won't give you any. Above all she really knows what she's teaching. You'll actually understand what you're doing but you MUST do your part. It's not that hard, trust me. I've always gotten C's and below in math until I took her. I actually knew what I was doing and it got a lot easier.
Really easy course. She's a little sarcastic and makes side jokes here and there but overall a good professor. She goes through the problems step by step and always answers your questions. She HATES cell phones and will call you out if you have it out. Give her a nice attitude, and she'll do the same. :) Best math teacher I've ever had to be honest
WORST TEACHER EVER. She knows her stuff, but her attitude is just absolutely terrifying, she thinks she is better than students and makes you feel poorly with her sarcastic humour.
There weren't many tests and the professor got back to me right away on questions. Even on evenings and weekends. Everything was very straight forward and she gives partial credit on the exams so even if you get the answer wrong, as long as the work was correct, she'll still give you some credit. Loved the class.
Worst teacher I've ever had. Very unclear and likes to belittle students. If you ask a question because you're confused, she just makes you feel dumb for it. Not helpful at all. Unless you're already good at math and never need to ask a question, do not take this class. She blames you for not understanding the material.
I took both her math accelerated courses to be caught up for this semester. She is a VERY good teacher and knows what she is talking about. I based my grading on the professor and not the fact that I signed up for an accelerated course and expect it to be easy, but it wasn't hard either. You get what you put into it. Homework is level is moderate.
by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. I dont understand why anyone would have any complaints about her as a professor. By far one of the best teachers at Valencia
Ok. I don't know why I see bad comments on this teacher. She's awesome at explaining and answering questions. Ether your're not committed to the class or not doing your HW. Yes she expects you to know what she already taught you, is that so hard to ask? and she is hilarious )
Not helpful at all, has an attitude a good majority of the time and is quite rude. She's very picky with her students and tends too look down upon those who are having difficulty in her class (as if she's better then them and they are just idiots)
Professor Cohen is hands on. Show's a lot of examples and teaches for the whole class. Clear cut when it comes to anything. Explains and helps really well. Homework is daily and important not to miss class, she moves quickly at times.
She is funny and helpful. She assigns quite a bit of homework on web assign. There were 4 tests 3 during the semester and a final no midterm the tests are hard but she gives practice tests, and I recommend going to the MATH SPA to get help before tests. I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!
I took this class with an SL leader which is probably how I passed because I was able to reaffirm what she was teaching with him. She kinda comes off as sarcastic and moody but I think that was because my class was doing poorly. Took 3 tests and studied 2-3 hours with a math tutor in school (passed). Final is multiple choice. Overall, tolerable.
Clear cut and to the point. LOVE THAT IN MATH! Shows by examples. Leaves time for you to copy everything down while working across the board. Such a great math professor and loves what she does! Taking her again for another math class.
She is very helpful however you need to pay attention interact and do your part. Pay attention or you will be left in the dust, interacting is always best. Don't be afraid to ask your questions. She may be a little sarcastic but you can suck it up
Prof. Cohen very easy going, always gets straight to the point. I told this course in the summer and even with a little bit of time she took time to make sure we all got it. There was also a lot of help offered ( SL, SPA, & Lab). If you think this is a class you will get out early, YOU'RE WRONG! There's always plenty of time!
She writes and talks way too fast. Instead of taking her time to explain each section she runs through it as if you already know the material. She gets annoyed when you ask to take pictures of the board even though she writes 1000 miles per hour. Cohen is very sarcastic and gives cynical remarks when you ask her questions.
I would not take her again. Rushes through material and fries your brain with her monotone voice. Hates texting in class and will complain about it if she catches you. She should make her class more relatable and engaging if she doesn't want you on your phone. Class costs too much to be forced to listen to her cynical remarks for an hour & 15 min.
Annoyed if you don't know the material and ask her for questions. Tells you to come before class or after if you have any questions and blows you off anyhow, and you take every single second of the class making you stay over at times, yet you leave the class confused with all the work she crams into your head in just an hours.
She is one of the most obnoxious teacher i have every had. I love math and I had to drop out.
If I could give her a zero I would. She's not a good teacher. You will have to seek additional help from turors, textbooks, etc in order to pass her class because she teaches way too fast and doesn't slow down, even when you ask her.
Doesn't update grades until the end of the semester. Very obnoxious if you ask her for help.
On the first day she seems like the best teacher ever. She doesn't show her true colors until after you're locked in the class after the drop deadline. She doesn't prepare you for tests. The review questions are easy, but it's just a trick because her tests are extremely difficult and nothing like the review. She needs to be evaluated by the school
She's nice and relatable if you meet her during office hours, but her teaching style is very fast. I only recommend her if you are a fast learner and enjoy math. If not, you will get lost and will have to go the extra mile to pass.
Her tests are hard. You will have to completely dedicate yourself to her class if you aren't good in math because her lectures are confusing. Funny teacher, but humor is not worth a failing grade.
She doesn't give extra credit or homework so you will have to do well on the tests. The weekly online homework is misleading because her tests are different from the homework. You get a formula sheet right before the test and sometimes it's hard to understand because it isn't like the book. You never know what to expect.
Although she says to come to her office for help, she responds to you as if your dumb because she sarcastically assumes that you were not in class. I was struggling to learn the material on my own. Thanks to the tutors I was able to do the homework and feel confident when testing. However, the test were hard and different from the homework.
I had trouble in her class. She cares about you, but she is not the best with clarity. Things to know: 1 homework score is drooped at the end of the quarter, sit in the front of class, and make sure to go to tutoring. I would say she is average, but if you are not good in math find a different professor.
Dear lord, those tests were easily 8 pages long. I ended up getting a tutor to pass this class with a B. Her tests are very hard, and she's not afraid to throw in trick questions. Her homework is time consuming and her quizzes were long. This wasn't an easy class, and I'm just glad it's done and over. I usually love math too, which is the sad part.
Very tough class especially if you are a working adult and taking other classes. Professor gives representative questions for test but are nothing like the actual exam. Test are very long and not done in My Math Lab like all the homework and quizzes. Paper test and zero multiple choice.
If you like to be lazy then her class is not for you. If you enjoy learning, then this class is for you. She is the best math teacher I ever had. She will explain everything over and over again until you understand. As long as you do the homework, quizzes and study you'll be fine. Don't expect to fly by and not put in any effort.
been in her class 3 weeks now and the only reason i am passing if for my friend who understands math. she really can't help and her overall teaching is very fast paced. if you need this class as a credit requirement and are very well in math, this class is for you.
I took Professor Cohens MAC2233 online and it has by far been the worst class I've ever taken. She doesn't even make her own lecture videos, their someone elses. Her test's don't relate to what she tells you to review or the homework she has you do in my math lab. If you don't get A's or B's on the test than good luck. DONT TAKE HER!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLASS. AND DONT SECOND GUESS IT
She makes math simple to understand and is very nice and will to help you if you put in the effort. Make sure you do her study guides because will help you on the test. She also gives you partial credit on her tests if you make a mistake.
If you want to understand anything that your class is about don't take her. Her "review" is nowhere near as difficult as her tests. She doesn't provide you with ANY tools to do the work. Just assigns them and you don't hear from her. I got help from the tutoring center an did all the reviews and was still lost. Do NOT take her
nothing to complain! She will actually try her best for you to understand what she's teaching.
Show up to class and do the homework. Lectures majority of the class, plenty of time. helps with any questions you might have and is always available. Great professor and knows what she is talking about. Wants you to pass and will help in any way possible. Pass the tests, pass the class. 4 tests and a final. DO THE STUDY GUIDES! (free points)
Best professor I have ever had for math. She goes out of her way to make sure all the students understand and she does a great job teaching. You can really tell she cares about her students. 100% would recommend
Do not take this profesor for any online classes. I was expecting to work a lot in this class but this profesor does not do anything to help you pass, the only thing she does is answer emails with an attitude.(the only thing she does) Does not try to provide additional tools only videos that are 15 yrs old. DO NOT TAKE
She is an awesome professor. There are 5 exams after (one after each chapter), TONS of homework (slightly easy; key is to stay on top of it; tutoring center is a must if you are struggling). She explains the material with only the needed information, but beware she is not question friendly. She will answer one question and not much more after that.
Honestly one of the most ridiculous math classes I have had to take very unorganized during the semester this professor changed due dates for assignment without warning and would not reopen closed assignments afterwards releases study guide one day before exams the only good thing I can say about this professor is she is a relatively easy grader
This teacher went out of her way to help me when I needed it the most. Highly recommend her because she is down to Earth and actually cares about her students.
Not a bad teacher, but I just did not like her teaching style at all. She basically just goes over homework problems the entire class. Don't know something? Too bad should've learned it already. I got a D in her class with studying and tutoring 8 hrs a week. I took another professor and no tutoring and I got an A in the class no problem.
If you've ever watched the movie Mean Girls, shes basically that math teacher. "She's a pusher"
She is very smart and she knows her lectures. However, we the students do NOT. We are here to learn, she expects us to know the material already and to just zoom through the semester. I had to spend a lot of my time at the tutoring center just to stay caught up. I definitely do NOT recommend this professor, she is sarcastic and a hard grader.
Do your assignments, show up to class, and you will pass. This professor style of teaching is so good that she makes difficult look easy.
She is a terrible professor and I would not recommend her to anyone. She doesn't care about her students and is very sarcastic. She was very unorganized and would have wrong dates for assignments and not tell you. She didn't have our grades posted the entire semester and had false info on her syllabus. If you want to do well do not take her class.
She was helpful sometimes but was aware of my accommodations . She teaches very fast . I spent majority of the time in the tutoring center almost every day til late. No written feedback to show where we went wrong on test problems etc. Failed to keep students informed about their progress in the class(gradesofar,strengths,needs of improvement).
PROS: -Lectures and notetaking take up all the class time so you're always engaged in something. -Lectures are extremely accurate to the homework so you never feel like you don't know what you're doing. -Really enthusiastic and funny, feels like you're talking to a real person CONS: -Her teaching style might not be for everyone
do not take this class at all. her teaching is way to fast for people to keep up. homework assignments included near 80 problems a week minimum. very sarcastic and doesn't seem to care if you don't know how to do work that is being taught . if you don't know the current math being taught OH FREAKING well you shoulda learned this already. - prof
I have always struggled with math. This teacher didn't help me learn. She teaches to fast and expects us to remember everything or to have some prior knowledge. I had to spend a lot of time in tutoring and still struggled all the way until the end. I would not recommend her.
An amazing teacher, she is there for you and to better you!
When I first began math with professor Cohen she seemed nice and went at an easy-pace however, sooner or later she speeds the course up with lectures and doesn't really like answering any questions you have. She also expects her students to know what she's talking about even if they hadn't learned or grasped the concept prior to taking the class.
Im a A student only and she was one of the hardest and rudest professors ive ever had. she is one of the most sarcastic person of all time and even makes fun of the students. ive never in my life met a more rude professor. the test are ok. Expect homework everyday, and if you fall behind because you dont understand she wont help.
Great teacher
Wouldnt ever take again, not worth doing online. She wont respond within reasonable time, leave you hanging and worst of all her material is out dated by several years, old videos with wrong information that will never help during the tests. Find someone better that cares to help and bothers answering you because she will not.
When signing up for this class I was expecting a college mathematics class not this. The textbook is useless and she barely provides any help videos. The course is terribly laid out and all over the place. Plus everything is on Pearson and I know we all hate Pearson. I honestly do not recommend this prof your better off looking for someone else :/
This professor was not helpful in any way, I passed with an A only because I looked for outside help. She copied and paste the homework and quizzes from a previous class and didn't bother to take out the information she didn't go over I had to email her multiple times to get her to take that information off the tests. Do not take this professor
I am literally about to drop this class. I took her online but the midterm and final are in person. The videos are old and not helpful and she leaves TONS of assignments per week, at least two labs and two or three Matlab assignments. If you are on a tight schedule do not take this class
If you're ok with self-teaching, and you allot a lot of time for assignments/studying, then you'll do fine in this class. None of the tests are timed, and MyLab has plenty of practice q's/examples to study. Prof. Cohen is easy to reach but is at times uncaring; does not allow deadline extensions due to extenuating circumstances (Ex. bereavement).
She's funny and definitely says some out of pocket things that make you laugh, and that keeps you pretty entertained. However, that's pretty much it. She gives SO MUCH work that it's hard to keep up with. The class is relatively easy but she makes you finish the assignment by the end of lab and if not? Sucks for you. Overall, she was interesting.
Prof is entertaining, but assigns a ton of work. She expects you to finish lab assignments by the end of class - no excuses! Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for studying.
pls do not take her. since day 1 she said 1hr15 isn't enough to teach so we teach ourselves. class is 10 min review then group problems; if you don't get it she puts u on blast. emailed her w issues and she blames me. assigns PACKETS in lab and if you don't finish in 50 mins you're cooked.TONS of homework. everyone failed midterm and most dropped.
Easily one of the best profs I've ever taken. She cares, she's passionate and she will not hesitate to call you out on your BS. Big fan of that. Took her in an 8 week term, it was...interesting, she worked with us, and despite my hesitance on math in general, she put in the work to help us understand. 10/10.
She doesn't really help you if you do not understand the material and expects you to already know the basics before doing it, so if you need help or clarification on any work she does not help at all. Exams are tough too. She is really funny though.
