Took her for College algebra and didn't find it overwhelming, their is homework assigned every class but its not generally checked by her. Tests are pretty much exactly what she goes over in class and does give out hints before tests. If you have A.D.D you will be zoning out alot as her lectures can get boring. I would recommend her though

Very unorganized when it came to assignments. It was always very unclear what was due when and often the due dates didn't match the due dates on MyMathLab. She is a great teacher in class, but, assigned a lot of homework and was a very tough grader when it came to showing your work on tests. The material is easy and that's the only reason I passed.

She is a really nice person in general but gives a lot of homework because homework is a high percentage of your your grade and she lets you redo the homework in mymathlab as many times as you want so you can easily get 100. However if you are a very busy person with a job and other classes that need a lot of your focus I recommend that you not take this class because she likes putting homework and online quizzes as top priority and if you do badly on those you do badly on your over all grade.

Conveniently offers up her tutoring hourly rate (hint: maybe if you pay her she'll help you). Leaves class early so after class isn't the time to ask for help, not that you'd get it.

I am not sure how this professor has a decent rating.. She is so hard to reach outside of class, does not offer extra credit. Classes held over zoom and she skims through every topic and you essentially will only do well in this class if you have some prior knowledge to the topics.. Avoid taking her classes

If you do not already know how to complete the course you are enrolled for, do not expect to learn much from this professor. You're better off paying your tutor to teach you. Students new to the class will be rushed through lectures and expected to teach themselves. In-class notes are a mix of speed running notes and not having notes explained.

Professor Mathus took this class over from a professor who left and had a lot to catch up as we had to learn on our own for 5 classes. She did a great job and let us know we were partners in learning. The material was difficult but her classes were good.

Professor Mathus took this class over after another Professor never showed up and later learned she quit mid semester! Professor Mathus was able to bring us up to speed with the lost time for learning. The rest of the semester was difficult with the 2 weeks of discontinuity but I was able to be successful in the end with fair grading.

Do not take! Does not offer online notes to help students. Rushes through material and doesn't explain the sections well, if at all. Instead of teaching she will do 3-4 problems on the board per section, half explain the process, and then move onto the next section. Lots of self teaching. Only those gifted with math skills beforehand will do well

Professor Mathus gives a lot of extra credits. She is also the most forgiving teacher I've ever had in my life. If she made the quiz, she'll let you know your mistakes and not take ANY points off. If you ask questions and participate, you should do just fine in her class. However, she can work on giving out better online resources.

This professor is a nice person but she cannot teach. She flies through the material without truly teaching it. Its as if she creates a plan on how to speak in the class and refuses to deviate from it if the class requires further explanation. When she shows her work on the board she erases it 2 seconds later without asking if we copied it down.

This is by far the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. Do not expect to learn ANYTHING. She flies through material without explaining anything and when you try to ask a question she simply ignores you. I had to take a summer class with a different teacher and passed with an A.

Prof Mathus gave a lot of homework but it all was relevant and her tests were straight from the homework. She worked problems the entire session and students did problems on the board. She provides great test prep before any exams. Great person and I would take her again if I needed another math course.

Do not get discouraged by the negative reviews, they are most likely coming from people who do not put in any effort and then blame the professor when they are failing. Prof Mathus is very fair grading and will give you partial credit if the answers are not 100% correct. If you put some effort in this class, you will pass!
