Self Paced Math Classes

a nice nice person, helpful to students

She is really patient person and a good listener. Her grading is fair. Visit her office or go to math center to find her are part of the class.

I like her very much. she's nice and very helpful if you really want to work hard. Her test is easy, too. However, her grading policy is a little bit strict. She'll minus a lot of point even you just made a small mistake.

Pleasant and personable teacher. You will do fine in the class as long as you keep reviewing class materials.

Picky about grammar/identification of variables. Tests are challenging but she will give partial credit as long as the process is correct. Easier grader if she likes you. Knows material, excellent memory (is aparent in names and numbers)Easy B, hard A.

she is cool, clear class, u will know wt she wants. she talks quite fast, might b difficult for intl' students.

She is very nice and goes over problems step-by-step, but sometimes the class drags on and she is a bit boring. If you like a teacher to go fast in this subject, she's not your choice. She's also very helpful and willing to help you outside of class!

She is very helpful when you go to office hour. So use her office hour.

she is will to answer your questions in class and if she does not, she will finish answering your quesiton in her office

If you do your homework, you will do fine on her quizzes since they are just like the homework problems.

very nice and approachable~~explains the lessons very well

She is great. She explains clearly. One of my favorite professors. Statistics is easy with her. 3 exams (lowest replaced by final). 6 quizzes (drop 1). Exams are easy and no tricks. Recommended professor!!!

Excellent teacher. Highly dedicated and devoted to her profession...I find her very sexy. almost 90% of the questions on her exams are from the homework ! So study,do your homework, and stop whining.Easy A.

not easy but classes were enjoyable. she would stay after class to help people with homework

She's hard. But if you don't miss many classes and do ALL homework problems as assigned from the book and online you can get an "A" like I did. She is very cute and can't stop from sounding 'valley' sometimes. I was in love Ms. Silverman the whole quarter.

She is very helpful when you go to her office and ask for help. If you also do all the homework, then you can easily pass the class.

Ms. Silverman clearly explains the concepts and is very timely in returning the class materials such as homework, quizzes, and exams. She is willing to help students outside of class. Her exams are just like the homework so if you do your homework, the exams are a breeze.

Her exams are fair. If you do the homework, the exams are just like the homework. She is very willing to stay after class to explain and clarify the concepts or homework problems. She likes to do group activities in class. If you want an easy A, do not take her class but if you want to learn and success in the next math class, this is the class.

Her lectures are very helpful and if you pay attention, you learn a lot of things. She would gladly stop to repeat herself for confused students. Tests are fair and pretty difficult but she was able to let us correct and understand our mistakes to get back partial credit; she cares mainly for your understanding, not grade. The prof we need more of!

difficult to even pass her course if you are just average at math. if you take her, study REALLY hard and dont fall back. ask for help asap. exams are VERY difficult. final worth 50% of grade if you drop 1 of 2 midterms

Calc is a difficult subject but Lori does a great job teaching it! Quizzes & tests are challenging but very fair. Notes are an important study tool, so dont miss class! Bad reviews seem to be from bitter students who didnt pass, which ISNT her fault -- she makes EVERY effort to help ANY student that meets her halfway, so seek out help & youll pass!

She is very helpful when you go her office. Even though she can be tough, it really helps out in the long run, especially if you plan to take the next course.

Very cute teacher and her lectures are very well organized and easy to follow. Homework can be hard but if you attend class, the notes helps a lot.

People who think that professor Silverman is hard are just lazy. If you do your homework assignments, the quizzes and exams are just like them.

Easiest Calculus teacher ever. She's hot too and very helpful with her explanation in class and during her office hours. I would definitely take her again

she is a very good teacher. she is always here to help her students. do not hesitate to ask questions in class or during her office hour. it's a lot of work, but if you do all the quizzes and all your homework, you can easily get an A.

I agree with all the comments about her helping her students. Very friendly instructor. The class is not easy but who ever said that calculus was easy.

Loved the class. No nonsense. Get in, get out, get on with your life.

Dr.Silverman is a great math professor, she is super nice and very helpful, I would strongly recomend students who want to build their math skill and get good grade to take her.

i dont understand all the bad comments. to me she was a stellar professor with very clear explanation. her quizzes are exactly from what she taught in class and the homework online. did not even have to use the textbook that much, her notes were sufficient. i missed my first mid term and got a B otherwise it's definitely an A for me.

I have never had a more clear, straightforward, and detailed math professor. I loved her class and actually began to enjoy math because of her. The only things that are helpful for a student to bring to this class are a positive attitude, good attention span, and willingness to do math work. All-in-all, she is an outgoing and confident teacher.

Her class might not be the greatest MATH 1A class in foothill but I found it just right for me. Reasonable amount of work and moderate tests.

Good! Nothing flashy. Just good clear lectures. You come to class, listen carefully, go home and do the homework, study for the tests and everything is just fine. Just what a math class should be. No singing, no dancing, no games, just a solid college class. If you want to learn this is the place. If you want fun and games go elsewhere.

I don't understand why so many people are writing negative comments about her. She is the greatest professor I have ever had. Take her class and you will never regret.

she makes good class video

She requires students to understand problems with the online videos, which I found quite hard if you haven't taken Calculus before. If you are good at self-teaching and a detailed person, go for it. She's very kind and eager on helping students, but you have to come and ask.

You really have to put in time outside of class. She tends to focus on the trickier concepts in class and lets you figure out the easier ones from her videos which are really helpful. Her tests are designed so you can pass,but make it not so easy to get an A. And she's kinda hot.

She looks kind, but she isn't. Her homework is time-consuming and easy, but her exams are very hard. What's worse, she will deduct your points harshly.

The worst Calculus Professor I have had in my college career. She expects you to write the theorems and concepts and explain your process in solving the problem. She grades WAY too hard, even if you did the problem correct. Whatever happened to the days of being assigned plenty of homework problems and practice. I didn't sign up for English! Avoid!

She provides a rubric and examples of what she expects from you so if you follow them, you should have no problem passing the course. She is very willing to help you but you do have to do the work. This online class is not easier than a face to face class but you can access the material at your own pace. If you want to learn the material take her.

You can watch her videos over and over again. The videos are short but they are full of information. In addition, there are other videos available to view. She has worksheets that help guide you to what is important. During class she provide common errors that students make and help guide you against these errors. She is very helpful

She explains everything clearly in class.. You might have to watch a few video before class to get a gist of the basic ideas and she would explain whatever you might not have understood. She is a great teacher to be around and request help from. She always waits at the PSME CEnter after class if students need extra help.

The way the class is set up is that you watch a video about what's going to be taught the next day, and take notes on it. Then in class she answers questions about it and such, more so than lecturing. I liked it. She rarely lectured, actually, and when she did it personally didn't do much for me. The videos are really helpful and clear, though.

Very nice professor. Not many lectures in classes, you are expected to read textbook and watch videos (5 minutes long at most) at home. Homework is very short, just do one problem perfectly, no need to waste time on dozens of similar tasks.

PSA I took calc for the first time with Lori and loved her! I've scored very high As on the 3 midterms, and was very confident in the class (you will too if you're a conceptual person, e.g you're good at coding/physics/economics/ philosophy/watever) but the final screwed me over. 14% drop. Take her if you want to learn, but selfstudy 4 final or die

Taken her Math 1B class this Winter quarter. There were 3 exams in total and quizzes each week (sometimes twice a week). The homework format is very annoying which I really hate it. Despite the homework, the exams were quite easy and some were similar to the quiz. If you like doing homework, take her class. Otherwise, find a better professor.

a good teacher, not too hard if you study ahead of time, but the class itself is way too demanding

If you want to learn, take this teacher. If you want an easy A, do your work.

Math is not my best subject, however professor Silverman made it doable, she is helpful when I ask her questions. The tests are hard, but you will pass as along as you do the work
