She is by far the best teacher I have this semester. She must be the nicest teacher I've ever had. I wish I had her for all my math classes.
Lisa was awesome for the period of time that I had her before she went away on pregnancy leave. If you have the opportunity to take a class with her do it!
No Comments
Lisa was a great teacher. White, american, english speaking, and easy to under stand. She would go over points untill you understood them. I only had her for a short time until she left with complications w/ her pregnancy, but a great prof!!!
She was excellent and has a cute baby.
She's great. Probably the nicest teacher I've had in college. Very helpful. Weekly take home quizes are a snap.
great instructor, explains things cleary and is happy to go over things you dont understand.
One of the best teachers of Math.She helps and clearly explains.Her personality is another asset.I love this young teacher.
i'm sure she'd been good if she hadn't stuck us with a t.a. to teach the class that seemed more confused at times than we all were....granted i got an a, but prolly only cuz i spent so much time getting help other teachers, tutors, and online!
The person below is an idiot. Dr. Demeyer was never supposed to teach that class, she was just supposed to supervise a TA teaching it.
Very helpful on explainging problems. Homework is collected every week and there are 4 tests. xtra credit for doing a prob. on the board. its calc2 so it'll be hard but she tries her best to help everyone. Tests are over hw and suggested prob. she gives
She is the best math teacher CMU has to offer. I understood everything she taught and she was an extremely easy grader. You would have about 5 homework problems to do every week that were easy. Very nice and highly recommended.
she is an awesome prof who is very helpful, she'll make time and she understands when there are problems with health or death in the family
Great Teacher! Explains everything very clearly and is always willing to offer help if you need it. Gives only about 5-6 homework problems per week. And also suggests other problems from the book to focus on.
She's the best math prof you'll ever have!!
Great hot teacher
She is an outstanding person. She cares very much about wanting you to succeed and to help you in any way. I recommend her to anyone that wants to enjoy a subject and a professor.
Surprises students greatly on tests, the information in class does not prepare you well for her tests, and that is 5/6 of your overall grade
Prof. Demeyer is a VERY good teacher. She explains things very well and is really excited about the subject she teaches. She is more than willing to answer questions and explain things more in-depth. Overall I am enjoying her class a lot.
Hands down best math teacher ever, study for quizes and tests to get an A, only study for tests and get a B
Really helped clarify a lot of concepts in Calculus than when I first took it in highschool. Very good at presenting ideas and answering questions. Amazing atmosphere in the classroom. I always recommend her to anyone who is dreading taking Calculus but who has to for their degree.
Best math Prof. ever. She is the nicest teacher I've ever had. I wish I had her for all my math classes. she is an awesome prof who is very helpful. Very nice and highly recommended.
As a non-math major I find math (especially calculus) evil! But Dr. Demeyer is the type of professor that ALL professors should model after. She is helpful, and cares for her student's success. If you have to take calculus, TAKE HER!!! I think she's kinda cute too...not gonna lie!
She is the best teacher that I have had in a long time. She makes sure that you are able to understand everything that is taught. I am a math major and have come across many professors who makes math very boring but I found her very helpful.
Dr. Demeyer is the best math teacher! She does her best to clarify the concept to her students..gives lots of practice homework questtions and lots of quizzes...is willing to help students so much that creates extra office hrs.. overall, she has a tremendous enthusiasm while teaching mathematics..would highly highle recommend her..very fair grader!
Probaly the only good math teacher at CMU. Take her for any class possible. Extermely helpful and always Willing to talk to you. Calc 2 isn't the easiest so just do hw to help understand. Usually uses in class problems on tests and weekly quizzes. (or at least similar problems) Study quizzes and tests for final and you'll do fine.
Math is not my strong subject, but I studied really hard and got an A. Other people who are better at math found things to be easy. She is definitely the best math teacher I have ever had though. She gives you practice problems b4 quizzes that help when studying. Nice understanding woman who respects her students. I highly HIGHLY recommend her. :D
Dr. Demeyer was such a great professor. She is so great at explaining concepts. I thought the class was very easy and if you put even just a little time into it, you will be fine!
Great teacher. Probably the best math teacher at CMU. Easy to understand, gives you plenty of examples. optional homework. Decent exams. Ive heard horror stories about other professors, this is definitely the best teacher to take.
One of the best math professors I've had. Always willing to help you after class, and some of the easiest tests I've had. As long as you attend class and do some of the optional homework, you should do fine.
Dr. Demeyer is hands down the best math teacher I have ever had! Even though this was my last math class, this class experience makes me want to take more math courses. Rather than just giving you a formula, she explain concepts and proofs. Her class was a highly engaging and enjoyable experience.
She is literally the best teacher I have ever had. She explains things perfectly step by step so you understand them. She never makes you feel dumb about asking a question no matter what it is.
Very great teacher. Am taking Calc 3 this coming fall to make sure that i have a great teacher for it.
Hands down the best professor I have ever had. She is the nicest and most helpful professor you will ever find. If you get the opportunity to take a class with her then take and and enjoy an awesome semester. I was actually sad leaving her class not being able to attend her teachings.
she made math rock, ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS EVER
This is what a math class should be. I am not just trying to boost her rating to be nice. She actually earned this score because she teaches the material correctly, is experienced in this subject, and tests you on whether you know all the material at the easiest level.
Take this professor. Business majors: Take regular calc instead of business calc if you can take it with this professor. Go to class so you know the material. Weekly quizzes, homework, and 4 exams including final. Best math teacher I've ever had.
Dr. DeMeyer is the best math teacher I have ever had. I am not good with math but she made everything very easy to understand and was extremely helpful. All of her exams tested everything that we learned in class with no trick questions. I recommend that you do all of the practice problems and I also recommend her as a professor.
She made a difficult subject easy to understand and learn. As long as you show up and pay attention then this is the teacher for taking Calculus
Dr. Demeyer is hilarious one of the nicest people I have ever met. She made calc fun, even if it was an 8am class
Lisa is the best math teacher i have ever had. I saw the reviews on here and they could not be more true. Don't get me wrong, calculus is a hard subject. But if you show up and put the work in that she suggests you will do great. I wish I could take her for every math class.
There is not a single thing I can say against Dr. Demeyer. She knows her stuff. If you have a chance to take her, you best hop on the opportunity to do so. SHE'S AMAZING. (And really knows how to teach math.)
Dr. Demeyer is one of the best math teachers that I have had. If you have the opportunity to take class with her, do it! She's super nice and is always willing to help. She goes over questions at the beginning of class, and gives many examples. She makes Calculus, a tough subject, easy to learn.
Demeyer is an amazing teacher. She's basically there for the students, whatever they need. Need to push the quiz back a day? No problem. Need to spend fifteen more minutes explaining a problem? Sure thing. She's incredible. Great Calculus teacher, but if you haven't taken calculus before, you still need to do all the work.
good teacher
Best teacher I have ever had. By far the best math teacher at CMU and if you have the option to take a class with her, do it. Her classes are fair and she teaches perfectly. Doesn't try to trick you on exams either. Not enough good things can be said about Dr. DeMeyer.
As someone who dislikes math, I worried about taking Calculus for my math competency; however, Dr. DeMeyer is amazing! There is online homework (with unlimited attempts), weekly quizzes, about 4 exams, and optional homework every day. She is always open to questions and clears anything up that people may be confused on!
Dr. Demeyer is the most helpful and amazing math professor I have ever had. If you have the chance to take a class with her, do it! She makes everything understandable and is always there when you need it.
Cannot recommend Dr. Demeyer enough, especially if you are a science/math major. Her lectures are incredibly helpful, and I barely have to go to the Math Assistance Center on campus. While it is a math course (thus will be semi-difficult at the very least), Demeyer makes it look incredibly easy. Have the chance to take her?? DO IT!!!!
Lisa Demeyer is the best math professor I've had. She knows and teaches the material well and gets excited about math. There are also some extra credit opportunities. Take this class if you have the chance!
Dr. DeMeyer is an incredible professor. She makes the concepts easy to understand and is always willing to help with any questions. Exams were explained before we took them and the weekly quizzes were not too bad. I would take her again in a heartbeat. If you have any chance to take her, do it! She's worth it.
Lisa Demeyer is a wonderful professor! You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and that's really refreshing. One of the best professors in the CMU math department.
I had Dr. Demeyer for MTH 644. I could never detail how awesome of a teacher she is ( especially compared with others in the dept). Amazing, fun lectures, and she plans the course well. The material was the hardest ive learned but i enjoyed it because of how well she teaches. & She always has her doors open to help. Lisa is wonderful!!
Dr. Demeyer is a very caring professor and one of the best in the math department. Her door is always open, and she does her best to help students understand the material. She presents everything in a manner that is very understandable. Her tests are not difficult, and as long as you try, you will pass.
Hands down the best math professor I've had. The class is not easy, being an upper division grad class, but she is very explicit in her explanations. The class is not at all test heavy and high importance is placed on understanding rather than scoring a bunch of points. The subject is her expertise and you should certainly take her class.
Dr. Demeyer is an AWESOME professor!! I had her for Calc 2 as well, and you can't go wrong either way. If you get any opportunity to take Demeyer for a math class, do it!!
Talented. Brilliant. Incredible. Show-Stopping. Spectacular. Never the same. Totally Unique. Completely not ever been done before. On a serious note, Dr. Demeyer is one of the best math professors I have ever had. She's smart, humble, nice, and always willing to help. She is genuinely excited about the material she is teaching and it shows.
Dr. Demeyer is without a doubt one of the best professors I have ever had. She makes the lectures engaging and she cares so much about what she is doing. I had her for both calc 2 and calc 3 and she made those classes so much better than I ever would have expected. If you have the ability to take a math class with her, do it!!
She is a great professor. She really cares about her students, she is not there to fail you or throw tricks at you. Her tests are straight forward and is exactly what you would expect when it comes to did you understand the material or not.
Lisa is my homegirl. She's so enthusiastic and her love for math shows. Dr. DeMeyer is easy to talk to and is more than willing to help you however she can. By far my favorite math professor I've ever had.
I love her. She reminds me of a little pixie. Her tests are very straightforward so if you're able to follow her in class examples, you'll be set. She made taking a Friday class worth it.
Professor Demeyer is hands down the best math teacher Ive ever had. She makes everything super easy to understand and goes through tons of examples very in depth. Shes extremely approachable and kind, and will answer any questions you may have. She made math class enjoyable when its usually a subject I loathe. I cant recommend her highly enough
Dr. Demeyer has been my favorite Math professor I have had yet, she makes math easy as long as you're willing to work with her. She makes coming to class worth it. Make sure to really study for the exams, and use SI if there is one in your class. Her exams are difficult but fair. Wish I could have her teach the rest of my math classes.
LISA!!!!she is by far the best professor here at CMU. I had her for both MTH 232 and 233 she makes learning so fun. The fact that she can take a subject like Calc 3 and make it an easy and learnable subject speaks wonders. Math is can be such a hard subject to teach by she makes sure you have a full grasp of the subject through many examples.
She is one of the best professors I have ever had here at CMU. She truly is passionate about math and cares deeply for her students. She is always available outside of class and is a great professor to listen to and learn from. I wish she could teach the rest of my math classes here on out.
Dr. DeMeyer is one of the best math teachers I've had and certainly the best at CMU. I have had her multiple times thus far and have no complaints. She is incredibly understanding and easy to talk to. She teaches everything well and if you have a problem w/ her teach, tell her and she might work it into her lectures more to suit your learning style
Dr. DeMeyer was not only the best math prof I ever had in general, but she is also the best math prof at CMU. Very caring and communicates with students very well. She makes sure that the students are doing ok with the workload and if not she is quick to help. She not only made calc 3 understandable but also fun.
Lisa is amazing. Math comes naturally for me and with her teaching, it was just too easy. If you pay attention and take notes, you will be fine. Homework is reasonable, tests are reasonable. I wish she taught all my classes not just math. If I didn't have a character limit right now I could've written a whole essay on why this professor is the be
Dr. Demeyer is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. She isn't a harsh grader and wants to do whatever she can to help you succeed. What I was expecting to be a difficult subject, turned out to be my favorite math class I have taken. When looking for a professor for Calc 3 or any math class, you cannot go wrong with Dr. Demeyer.
She is the best professor I have ever had. If you can take a class with her, please do it. I was scared to take calculus 3 and lacked a foundation, but her enthusiasm and teaching made the subject come easy to me and I did well. She's open to students asking questions, organized, dedicated, understanding, and just overall a great person.
Dr. Demeyer is hands-down the best professor at CMU. She is genuinely caring and works hard to make sure her students don't feel overwhelmed. I had a large gap between calc 2 and calc 3 and she helped make it work. She will push any due date back to give you time to get it done, and will even walk you through anything confusing. Highly recommend!
One of the best profs I've ever had. Her enthusiasm about the subject makes it enjoyable to go to class. She made this class a breeze!
awesome professor
Dr. DeMeyer may be the best professor ever. Shes super caring and made hard Calculus topics seem easy. Highly Recommend
I love Dr. Demeyer. I would take ANY math class with her. Super kind person, cares about what is going on in the classroom, and will even take time out of her day to help me with other math classes when I don't even have her as one of my professors. Hands down best Math prof out there
Dr. Demeyer is the most genuinely kind professor I have ever had. She cares about her students and wants to acknowledge their effort by curving grades, providing extra credit, and giving good feedback. She is always accessible outside of class and her lectures always make sense. Everyone adores her and her course is never too hard. Highly recommend
Lisa Demeter was hands down the best teacher I have ever had not only at CMU, but in general. She actually cares about her students and will do everything in her power to make sure you not only pass, but you know what you're doing. She is an amazing professor and if I could recommend any teacher at CMU her name would be at the top of the list.
As a math major at CMU I have had the pleasure of taking many classes with Dr. DeMeyer. In every class Ive taken with her shes been enthusiastic about the subject, a helpful and clear lecturer, and is super understanding and caring towards her students. If I could go back and do my degree again I would take every single math class with Dr. DeMeyer
Professor Demeyer was the best professor I have ever had. She genuinely cared if everyone understood and was able to explain things very well. She was also extremely organized. Loved having her!
Extremely lenient & understanding, responds quickly to emails with helpful material, notes often times available outside of class. Over 1 week given for online homework, extensions also available. Great personality and sense of humor, one of my favorite professors this semester, 100% recommend!
I had her for MTH 107. TAKE THIS TEACHER. Her tests are so easy and if you do not finish your homework on time she will give you an extension. You take a quiz at the end of every week. They are like 3 questions and she tells you how to do the problem right before the quiz. My biggest advice is to take Lisa!!!!!!
If you're going to take Math 107, take it with Lisa! She is caring and understanding towards her students, as she will always extend the homework if needed. She always prepares her students for the quizzes and tests by telling us exactly what to expect. If you're taking this class, your best bet is to take it with her!
I loved calc 3 with this professor! very good lectures and cares about students
This was the best professor I have ever had. She is kind, caring, and really wants to help her students understand. She always gives really good test outlines before any exam that help a lot. I loved coming to her class everyday, she really was the best teacher. She made me want to take more math classes!
I wish every mathematics professor was exactly like professor DeMeyer. Her lectures are not boring and the way she explains calculus is like no other. Her homework is on WebWork and extensions are always granted which makes the class much less stressful. 100/10 rating. Do take her class if you can.
Always opened homework and went over lots of examples in class to help with understanding of problems.
Only 3 weeks into the semester and this teacher is amazing. So good at explaining math, caring, responds to emails and messages quickly, grades quickly. If you have the chance, take her. It's either her 9am class or someone else's 10am class, trust me waking up 1hr earlier is def worth it. Already predicted my A grade. Online textbook used.
I strongly dislike math but had to take calculus for my major. She made it tolerable, and I passed with a B which I was very happy with. You definitely have to put in the work, but she will guide you through it. She is very lenient and is always there to help. Weekly homework but she will always give extensions! Take her if she is an option!
heard this was a hard class but Dr. Demeyer made it so clear and interesting!
She was amazing. She described calculus in a way that made perfect sense and went at a great pace. She reopened homework assignments past the due dates for whatever reason. Great professor!!
I thought Lisa was amazing, best professor I have ever had at CMU. If I could have her teach me in every class, I would.
Dr. Demeyer is definitely my favorite professor I have had. She is one of the most understanding, flexible, and kind-hearted professors you will have. She clearly cares about her job and ensuring that all students who care and try succeed. If you do not understand something, do not hesitate to ask because she will always be willing to help!
I actually have her for MTH 499, but she is a model professor. She loves mathematics and teaching. She will care about your success and improving the class after you're gone. She does not have an easy class, however, but you don't learn from the easy ones.
Very nice, very forgiving partial credit, and a timely grader. Beware her lectures are really just her talking at you. She explains the concepts very well, but if you need to do problems yourself to learn you wont find that in her lectures. Textbook only needed if you do the practice problems, I was able to get an A with only the online homework.
