Just because you think you know what you are doing doesn't mean you will have any clue when you look at her tests. Spends to much time talking about things that you will not be tested on. Almost impossible to make an "A", and if it isn't your only class then it might be hard to make a "C". I would never take her again or recommend her to anyone.

Wouldn't take again

I currently have a B in this class only because I spend all of my time on this class but I'm struggling. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. There's a math portfolio due at the end of the year! Me and my classmates have to turn in over 100 pages of work and 2 essays along with a presentation. Stupid requirements and very rude responses from her.

wayyyyy too much work, youre basically reading the whole textbook and teaching yourself. It's math so the textbook can be really hard to understand. Posts notes and videos only sometimes and often at the end of the week even tho HW is due then too. Portfolio project is literally hundreds of pages long.

The class was awful. Be ready to have a lot of work and have a big project at the end of the semester. Your suppose to start the project since the beginning of the semester. All test are supposed to be according to what we learn but she isn't very helpful on giving ways to go about it. Honestly won't take this course with her again.

Humorous professor, passionate about math! Order of taking quizzes was a bit awkward since it was during the beginning of the week, but if you do your homework they are easy. Ask questions and you will understand concepts thoroughly. It's nice having a lot of homework assignments and quizzes so that your average won't rely on tests.

Lori was fantastic, the lectures were subpar and difficult to follow sometimes. They are not exciting but can be engaging. I found myself studying endless hours before tests just to make a B+ on them, which hurt since they were worth 80%. I aced the hw and quizzes and still ended with a B+. thankfully she was generous at the end of the semester.

Professor Rosenthal is a great professor, although she is a bit quick-paced in her lessons she does check with everyone to make sure they understand the lesson. This class is very homework heavy but make sure to do it as it helps with learning all the units. I would 100% take Professor Rosenthal once again.

Really great professor! There's a lot of work and studying but she does a really good job in explaining the subject matter and answering questions. As' long as you're trying you should be good. Very forgiving grader!!

Professor Rosenthal is undoubtedly one of the most amazing, caring, and kind member of our species I've had the pleasure of meeting in recent times. Her passion for mathematics shines through in every lecture. And, her beautiful lectures were among the highlights of my year, I will truly miss them...

Took Calc 1 and 2 as 8-week sessions Her lectures are amazing. In depth, answers all questions, and makes sure the material is exactly what she expects you to learn. Tests are straightforward, and there's a lot of room for partial credit. Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had.

So a sweet professor, and one of my favorites. She explains the concept really well. Always feel free to ask concepts in the lecture or questions in homework.

Super sweet, lectures were easy to follow. Good amount of homework. Took the 8 week course & her pre cal course so the class was smaller = able to ask more questions during lecture which she happily answered. Accessible outside of class and will work with you to help you understand the course. Wish she taught calc 2!

She simply is not a good teacher who think she knows it all, and doesn't help for those that need it.
