This was the easiest math professor I ever had! I got a B in her class and I hate math. There are 5 exams, which seems like a lot but it makes it easier because u'll have less stuff to remember 4 the exam. The final is optional! She is really good at explaining the material and going through problems. Go to class, do the homework and u'll do good!

After failing her class my first choice was to rate her terribly. The truth is, she is a great teacher and calculus is hard. She will do everything to label the subject material, but when it comes to the tests you are on your own. Tests are "show your work" she gives partial credit on the test, but 2 points for a 8 point question helps little.

She is the worst professor I had since I've been at mdc. Her tests are ok but her grading is ridiculous! 14 questions max but you have to show all work and is the work is not how she wants it, she will give you a F. I failed all her tests, showed work for each problem, got the answer right but since the work wasn't how she wanted it, she failed me.

Half of our class dropped out by the end of the semester I think that's a good indicator of what type of professor she is. Study my friends because there is no way you will pass the class if you don't. Do all the homeworks twice if you can and do the practice exams because they help for some of the tests.

I recommend not taking this professor during the summer A or B. She is really rushed when teaching trigonometry in the summer. I understand it's a short semester but at least she should have been more clear and talking at a more understandable pace. It seems like she took rushing a subject to another level. I got an A in Precalculus in Summer A.

Makes you work for your grade. Her final is 40% of the overall grade and the midterm is 30%. Both are proctored and you must get 60% on both or you fail the course. You have to study for those exams but if you do you will be fine. Connect HW is due by end of semester and only about 4 discussions post throughout semester. Tough class but doable.
