Absolutely brilliant teacher. She's very willing to help you with difficulties in your homework, and is really funny and personable. Gives great Power Point presentations...you never thought they could be effective in math. AND she gives out candy in class too. How cool is that?

Good teacher. Only drawback is that majority of teaching is done on powerpoint which can be confusing in a math class. She does do some example problems on board after lecture which is helpful.

I agree with the happy face. She helped me with HW more than once. She also goes over HW problems on the board. She explains things and aks u if u understand.She postponed one test when the class asked her to, and went over stuff again. She also gave us donuts before the exam:)

I like her. She's funny, her accent is not bad at all. She gives u study guides and practice exams before every exam.She also gives u handouts with all the formulas 2 use on the exams. If u have questions, just go to her office and she'll help you. She gives credit for HW and participation.

She's OK. Grades fair. Take her.

Professor Riderer is a excellent teacher. She is very fair in her grading and very helpful on answering any questions you might have on HW or any other math problems . She explains everything thoroughly and even has shown the class shortcuts that the class book does not explain. I am disappointed that she will not be teaching math 130 .

She was a good teacher. I believe i passed with a B or A. Her accent isnt that bad either so you'll understand her. take her because she grades fair.

I feel like I learned a lot in her class.the notebook she gavex-tra credit for, helped me get a B on the final, and so i eneded up with an A in the class!

great prof.! teaches with great clarity! makes the class really easy to understand, and her handouts are so useful. one thing i didn't like was that she always talks about physics!

Great teacher. Funny and easy to talk to. Answers homework questions every class period and is always there to help out of class as well.

grades homework like this: she picks a problem, if that problem is wrong then your whole assignment is a zero! I once did 99 problems and got a zero on the assignment. She gives practice tests but tricks you when the real test comes. She gives participation points and an extra credit folder at the end. and alos drops 2 quiz scores, and drops a test

I am in her Trig class right now. She is going fast, but her lectures are clear. If u have ? just ask, she'll stop and answer. I like the ppts, they are very visual. Good examples, easy to follow. So far I am getting an A in class. Oh, and I liked the outdoor activity!

i guess you must b very unlucky 2 get the only problems she grades wrong.but then, don't blame her; its yor fault! I love her class, she's so helpful; her handouts make everything easy, and she always answers all questions, gives us time 2 go over HW before its turned in. I am pretty sure I'll land an A!

very easy class. all her lessons are pre planned on power point. plus she is bomb

I took her in the summer and hated her class. She is a good teacher, but for some reason the powerpoints don't do it for me. They allow her to move way to fast because all she has to do is click to the next slide. :( She is a good techer though, very professional. Better than the other choice for trig...trust me!

In the beginning of the semester, I thought she was going to be a pain to be a student for. As the semester went on i learned so much. She makes things so you can undrstand them. She doesn't expect you to remember formulas off the bat.

Her tests are ridiculously easy. She gives you the problems beforehand. She sometimes goes too fast in lecture, and is at times unclear. However she is always there to help when you need it. Just don't fall asleep in her class!!!!!

Prof. Riderer is a good teacher. She's fair, you always know what kind of problems you'll have on the exams. She's also funny, and always there to help. Her ppts. can be fast at times, but she'll always stop to explain things and answer questions.

Ms. Riderer is a tough professor; however, her power point are quite clear. I find it easier to understand than reading the book. She is tough but if you are willing to do hw, you should be fine. Don't expect an easy way out because she teaches and don't waste time with useless subject. Take her only if you really want to learn and is serious!

I LIKED HER AND HAVE RECOMMENDED HER TO FRIENDS WHO ALSO LIKED HER. YES, A QUITE SNOOTY-KNOW-IT-ALL AND DOES MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT. SHE WILL DROP YOU FOR BAD ATTENDANCE. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING! SHE GIVES YOU OUTLINES BEFORE EVERY TEST TO STUDY OFF THAT WERE EXACTLY LIKE THE TEST. HARD GRADER BUT EXPLAINED VERY THOROUGH!

great teacher. took her and ended up actually liking trig. powerpoint lectures, so it's easy to get all the notes. her notes help you with everything. gives practice exams that are just like the exams. as long as you show up everyday, take notes, and study you'll do fine.

I absolutely loved her!She uses powerpoints, always stops when you asked her to, and gives you a list of problems similar to the ones on the exam. Helpful during office hours! Made the class easy. All you need to do is go to class, take notes and do your HW. Also gave X-tra credit just to keep a notebook.Take her.

She is a very good professor. I learned a lot in her class. If yuo do your HW and study the practice exams, you can get a good grade. make sure you go to class and be on time.

I enjoyed taking her class. It is not an easy class, and you have to do HW and pay attention when she explains the problems, but she was never tricky. She was also very helpful during office hours. Did not have to memorize all the formulas, she gave out handouts that helped a lot on tests. Take her if you wanna learn trig & are willing to do the wo

She is a wonderful teacher. I had her for 2 semesters and she is so helpful. Really smart teacher and she really cares about her students. Her class isnt hard, just pay attention and do ur homework.

Great Teacher! Very Helpful!

Great Teacher!

I love her. If she taught Math 150, I would take her next semester. She explains things well and is very energetic. Do your homework and pass the tests and you will do fine.

Lectures are from powerpoint but she does do in class work. She's very helpful and easy to understand. Her accent is not that thick and she speaks English very well! So don't let that deter you from taking her class! I really enjoyed this trig course! Mulţumesc, Dna. Riderer!

Incredibly helpful. Wants to see her students succeed. She allows you to use some of her handouts during quizzes, and tries to make the subject as clear as possible. definitely take her!!

She is a great math. teacher. She gives classwork every lessons, but they're not so hard. Homework is ok.

not super easy, but if you attend class and ask questions you will pass! i suck at mth and i still managed to get an A just by paying attention in her class! she does explain things very well!

She is a good teacher but she lacks college experience. She is a former high school teacher. However, this is junior college and heed this advice. ONE MAY NEED TO HAVE THOSE FORMULAE MEMORIZED IF YOU PLAN ON A MATH RELATED MAJOR AFTER YOU HAVE TRANSFERRED TO A UNIVERSITY.

Great teacher. The lectures are on powerpoint and are very easy to understand. She makes sure you understand the concepts before you go home at the end of the day. I guarantee her classes to any Citrus College math student, whether you have an interest in the maths or not.

she is the best!!!!

What the heck is that comment at the bottom about her not having college experience? She is a very good college professor. and what is that person talking about needing to memorize formulas when they're only in math190. lol.

Really good professor, period. What the hell is that Math 130 guy talking about. He doesn't know anything about math. She has a lot of experience and you don't need to memorize anything. lol. Get to Calc III and find out what I'm talking about.

she is a great teacher! If you don't like math or your really bad at it she is a good teacher to have. Her lectures are easy to understand, she makes sure you get the material before you go home. She has an accent but you still understand her & she is entertaining, she def. has a sense of humor. You won't regret taking her class!

Best teacher ever! She wants everyone to succeed and understand, a good hearted women.

shes awesome! enough said. she lets you use handouts on the exams and quizzes which is really helpful. shes not hard to understand at all. she has a slight romanian accent which she makes fun of all the time. overall one of the best teachers iv had

Best teacher ever!! The most helpful teacher I have ever had. Explains everything until you get it and gives the best reviews before a test so there is no way you can fail!

She is awesome and very helpful. I love her class. Regarding her accent problem, I'm able understand her word easily even I'm not a native English speaker.

Nice lady. Very willing to answer questions in class and during office hours. I still needed a tutor. Attendance important and enforced. I would recommend her to anyone.

For me, SHE IS THE BEST IN CITRUS COLLEGE!!!! treasure in the math department and citrus college!!! compare to other math professor, i can say that she has much passion than anybody! however, it is no way to get C, D or F in her class. becuz she has well explaining in concepts.

Awesome teacher. I struggled w/ calculus in previous classes, but she makes it easy to understand and makes you spend class time working on problems, checking it afterwards so that she knows you know what you're doing. Drops lowest quiz and gives a lot of extra credit. Homework due each week and attendance is mandatory. Test problems are like the H

This teacher is Awesome. There is no way that you fail this class or even get a C. 5 Quizzes account for 40% of your grade but she drops the lowest of the 5. If you complete the homework (hw is 20% of your grade)and understand it than you will fly by the quiz. She also teaches the material really well. Take this teacher, best math teacher in Citrus

By far, the most talented instructor I have ever had.

good, great, u won't go wrong. got over 100% at the end of the class, one of the best at citrus.

I absolutely love her! Best teacher at Citrus! Explains everything until you get it, Always available for help; tests are fair, and extra credit available. You will feel that you're learning in her class! Nice personalty also. Can't wait to take her for Calc3.

I've always hated math, but this teacher is just awesome and she made my most hated subject easy. She is also really sexy, and I'm a chick.

She is great and helpful and she helps you out if you are willing to get a better grade. Sometimes lots of HW but she helps you out if you get stuck on some problems.

Great professor! Very very helpful.

I had not taken Algebra in over 20 years..this teacher brought it all back and then some. She is an excellent teacher, homework is not overwhelming. She expalains everything very well and really cares that you get a good grade. She is willing to help in whatever way she can but expects you to do your part. Can't say enough...she was outstanding!

She is one of the best math professors at citrus college. She will help you when you ask for it, and she explains everything very well and she is organized. And she is also easy on the eyes =) hehe I recomend taking her class.

she is an awsome teacher i love her she is so helpful she cares about her students and she is very organized she stays on track and does not fall behind like mr everest

Can't get any better. Sassy lady, I would love to take her again. She makes sure you know what you're doing before going to the next lesson. Steezy too, might I add.

I took her over the summer and she is extremely helpful. She explains whatever you don't get from her powerpoint lectures. She gives handouts to use on the quizzes and tests and they are VERY helpful. Don't be late to class though because she does not take to that very well. Grades fair and makes math fun!

An AWESOME professor! She genuinely cares about her students. She teaches with a mixture of powerpoint lectures and working on the board. She explains everything crystal clear and will help you understand if you don't get it. She also goes over homework questions when time allows.

awesome teacher!!!very helpful!!! I took her over winter and I was worried I wont be able to do it but she teaches so well it was so easy to understand.her teaching methods are very good and she makes sure you understand everything before moving on to the next lesson,helps with homework too and give you handouts.she's also very funny !

She is the best math professor on campus and is very helpful. Some reviews state that she is not helpful and rude, that is only if YOU as a student are rude to her.

If you want an easy A don't take her. But if you want to learn and earn your A definitely take her. You will learn so much, she will empower you with a math gift. Her lessons are extremely easy to understands because she assumes no knowledge which is a good thing for some of you.

Ive had her for several classes now but honestly I dont know what happened to her. Her final was RIDICULOUS & she made this class extra hard just cuz some students in there were above & beyond smart which really wasnt fair for the rest of us. she also has no sense of humor now and gets upset when u try to joke with her.. in short, very dissapointed

I had her for both calc2 and 3. In calc 2 I got my A relatively easy:paying attention in class, doing HW and going to workshops.In Calc 3 I worked VERY hard, studied a lot, went to ALL workshops and sometimes her office hours, do more problems than assigned. I feel that I definitely worked for and desreved my A.

Awesome professor! Fast class in the summer, lots of HW, but she goes over hw? everyday. Explains all concepts in detail, goes over problems step by step, attendance is mandatory. If you pay attention in class, do all HW, you should not have trouble passing her class. Handouts are helpful, some memorization is still required. Highly recommended.

I took my Cal2 and Cal2 with Prof.Riderer. Actually I really like her teaching methods. She is very helpful and alway try to help me. Her lecture is very clear. Highly recommended.Prosfessor Riderer, you did a excellent job. Thank you very much.

amazing teacher. Provides easy to follow slides and handouts with relate-able scenarios. She doesnt just give you your grade you have to earn them. if you dont understand something let her know, she will help you!

Professor Riderer is a wonderful teacher. I took Calc2 with her in the summer and she does not let you go home until you show her the correct answer on a practice problem. She is genuinely interested in seeing that all her students understand the material, even if she must go out of her way. My math professors at USC would never do that

I really enjoyed this class! I feel like I learned a lot and I am well prepared to move to the next level. Thank you, professor Riderer! You're the best!

This professor made Physics easy to understand and fun. I especially enjoyed the mouse trap car project! The Physics in the movies was OK, also. We had two exams, a lot of short quizzes and a HW notebook due at the end. All together, a good class; the lab wasn't that bad either.I might take to more advanced physics in the future.

Somewhat difficult class (but maybe that's just calc 2 in general), very good teacher, moderately helpful. overall: hard but fair. Recommended for overachievers and people with above average intelligence.

Challenging class, but this professor explains concepts very well. She doesn't go over HW questions in class, but has all HW problems assigned solved in detail and you have access to her solutions every day (she brings them to class. You can ask questions in workshop and if you go to her office hours.

Took for short Summer Semester 2011. Had a GREAT time with my first class back to school after 17 years. Learned a GREAT deal. Struggled a bit with the Math concepts, but she gave excellent help with mentors and tutoring opportunities. Will definitely be taking her again for Fall 2012

A great teacher who really cares about her students succeeding. She offers extra credit which could really help you out,which is good because her test are difficult and accumulate 50% of your grade. Recommend her though, just make sure to put in the effort.

One of the best math teachers I have ever had. Helped me enjoy math again after years of awful teachers. She demands high standards from her class but with a genuine interest in helping them. At the beginning of class she gives everyone a chance to tell her what they expect from the class and she does her best to meet the requests.

Great teacher! She expects a lot so don't be lazy! She's very particular about quizzes and how she wants work done, so pay attention! She cares about her students and wants them to do well. Don't be scared of her, her bark is bigger than her bite!

My favorite instructor. Very clear in all areas. Strict on following directions and attendance. Very intelligent and prepared instructor. Awesome.

She is a excellent teacher.... Her test are not Hard but also not easy ..... Study her review exams cause some questions are similar to her exams and try to do all the extra credit as possible .... I got a B in her class but honestly I thought that I was going to get a C or a D cause her Final for me was the hardest of all her exams because it was cumulative of everything we had learned

She's a great professor and goes over everything in the test. I got a B, but could have gotten an A if I actually studied for tests. Tough on grading tests

Professor Riderer is a wonderful teacher. She is very strict and has high expectations, but she is teaching you everything you need to know to get a good grade in class. Study her reviews for exams and put some effort in the lab reports. Don't miss class cause she's solving problems on the board that aren't on the slides on BB.

I loved her! Summer class, fast paced. She explains things very well; study her powerpoints and review the problems she works out on the board.

She used to be my Physics teacher in Romania, 24 years ago, when I was in my first year of High School.She was right after her Graduation and all I can say is that she was the best Physics teacher I ever had.I am happy she is now appreciated here in USA!

she was a great teacher... theres really not much else to say, even when you piss her off shes funny without embarrassing you too much, loved her class looking forward to 200 lvl physics!!!

Really great teacher just hard material. Would only take this class if you're interested in the subject or applies to your major. Suggestion: keep up on the hw and find people in the class you can study with. It will pay off in the end.

I really love her! By far the BEST professor at Citrus. I had her for Elementary Algebra, Trigonometry, & Physics. If you really want to learn take her otherwise don't waste her time. Also, SHOW HER RESPECT!!! DON'T TXT OR TALK AND INTERRUPT HER SHE WILL CALL YOU OUT!! She really wants her students to succeed and is willing to help you after class.

I had a great time in this class. The exams were neither too hard nor to easy. The reviews were helpful. You must keep up with the HW even and go to workshops to work with others. Also, make sure you don't miss class cause she solves the problems on the board step by step, and you don't have that in the ppts posted on BB. Good teacher. Fair grading

The best teacher for physics. I will take it again. She explain very well because of that the class is not hard. Very cool professor. Fun class. Will take it again.

On the plus side she is truly a great instructor on the negative side you have to take Ramos for lab. She is clear about physics and will go over the problem step by step. She gives you a lot of help.

by far the freakin best professor i have ever had in my 28 years of life! I recommend her 1000% she is truly an amazing professor!

I truly enjoyed her class. Her lectures were crystal clear, and she was also clear about what she expected of us. I enjoyed the labs and the toy project, and i feel that i learned a lot and i am ready to move on to my next level of physics and math. You should not hesitate to take her. She's the best instructor I ever had in a math or science class

hit & miss. she cares about your education & wants u to learn. that being said, she also thinks critically towards everything u say or ask, so think before speaking. she also tracks your attendance/tardiness like a preschool teacher. for a calc-based course, it was also disappointing how little calc was covered. ok teacher, but watch her temper.

I think she is a fair professor.She tells you ahead of time what her expectations are and if you do what she expects you shojld have no trouble getting an A. The homework is from the textbook only, nothing online, and she gives reviews before each exam. Also you have the possibility to earn extra credit easy. Good sense of humor. I recommed her.

I think she is one of the best intructors at Citrus. Her lectures are clear and her exams not too hard. She clearly cares about her students. Make sure you take good notes cause some of the exam problems are very much like the ones she solves on the board.

In essence Professor Riderer is very caring instructor that is willing to go that extra mile for her students. Also, if you have a question she tries her very best to explain and gives great examples!

Very tough professor but she just wants you to pass. Do not ever use your cell phone during her lectures or arrive late to class, she will call you out and totally embarrass you. I've seen it happen to plenty of students and they dropped out. Kind of fun to watch when you have her for 3 hours. She rarely lets you out of class early.

I obtained the textbook during winter break since I've never even touched the topic of physics. I read 3 chapters and was starting to feel like i was in over my head. Once class started, she covered what I read within THREE DAYS, and explained it in a way that just made everything "click". We're wrapping up the semester and I have a high A thus far

I really enjoyed this class. Professor Riderer explained all concepts clearly and gave good reviews before every exam. She is a fair grader and gives extra credit. Do not miss class or you will fall behind and it will cost you your grade on the midterm. Also don't be late or sleep in class. She really cares about you and will answer questions when

Before taking Professor Riderer's class, I had already had a bad experience with physics in high school (horrible teacher) and was understandably nervous. But Riderer turned out to be one of the few professors who can actually properly explain physics without sounding condescending. If you put in the effort and are a decent student, you'll do well

Winter class. It was a hard challenge to be honest. I finished the class with a B, it was not easy. Riderer is nice in lecture as long as you pay attention and aren't afraid to answer out loud. She's intimidating yes but try not to let it get to you. STUDY,STUDY,STUDY!!! DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY!!!

Very organized professor. Midterms are medium difficulty level. Grading is on a strict rubric. Extra credit is possible in lab and class project. Must practice a lot and supplement lecture with online presentations for a better understanding of the material. Overall a good class that prepared me for the next level in Physics.

Professor Riderer is thebest and I highly recommend you take her for 201. The class consists of 3 midterms, a final, labs, and a research paper which are all very doable. The only reason she is strict at times is because she cares about you as a person and because she wants you to succeed at life. BA in physics, MA in math, PHD in education, AMAZIN

Riderer is tough on her students, but she does it to help them succeed. She is really good at teaching and very clear during her lectures. Do the homework and takes notes, it'll help a lot on the exams. And if you think you might struggle in this class, do as much of the extra credit as you can for the project.

Riderer was an inspiration to me. Before taking her I found physics very hard to understand and never knew how to even start solving a problem. Her lectures were crystal clear. She always explains every step of the problem. Her grading was tough, but if you pay attention to the hints she drops in lecture you will be fine.

I took the class in the summer. Fast paced and lots of info in a short amount of time. However, Riderer gave very good lectures, showing and explaining the solutions thoroughly. I spent several hours every week to review her slides, do the homework and read the book, but it paid off in the end, as I ended up getting a high B in class.

Lectures are crystal clear, even though sometimes fast paced. She returns exams promptly and posts grades on canvas often. Tough grader, but the grading criteria is clear and she tells you exactly how she wants the work done. Half of the labs are easy, as she grades the reports at the end of lab, and gives you the chance to fix your mistakes.

I took her class in the winter intersession. It was fast paced, with a ton of information presented every day. She solves many problems in lecture, make sure you copy her work carefully (better yet, take a pic of the board before she erases it). She's very picky on how you show your work on the exams, so make sure you label and check the vectors.

Took this course during the summer. It was an intense 6-weeks and only the strong-willed survive. This class will definitely make you second guess your major. Life is not easy, so why should this class be? Show up on time, be respectful, and STUDY. The only advice I needed was to take the class more serious. It became real after the 3rd week mark.

I took her for a Summer, I was expecting the class to be much harder, but she legit tells you what's on the exam. She does all the problems with the class and her review multiple choice is almost identical to her test. I don't know why people have negative reviews if you have trouble in this class good luck when you transfer.

Professor Riderer is a great lecturer. She is a tough grader, and she don't mess around. If she gives you a hint or tells to do something a specific way DO IT. This class was very challenging for me, but I also learned a lot. She is always willing to help students as long as they are working hard and trying their best.

Professor Riderer is an amazing Professor who will really try push you into the direction of greatness. She will hold you to very high expectations, as you should for yourself. If you get an A in professor Riderers class, you will have something to show for it. I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about their education.

Rating her a 4 for being the best Citrus physics professor (keep in mind the physics department here is horrible). Her biggest pro is she grades assignments quick and replies quickly to emails. Now her cons: her lectures do not prepare you well enough for her quizzes/exams. Also, she wants things done her way, no other way or she takes away points

Riderer has extremely high expectations for her students. This will make the class probably one of the hardest classes you've taken in your life. That being said, she genuinely cares about her students' success. If you struggle, seek her help, or else you will probably fail the exams. The exams are tough and combine multiple concepts.

The comments left me super scared to take Prof Riderer's class, but she was awesome. No textbook required, she makes videos of the diagrams you'll be tested on, and everything you need is in the PP lectures. She is tough, and when she says she has high expectations, jesus she means it. But you learn so much and she's very supportivejust need to ask

I really enjoyed Professor Riderer's class and think she is a nice and very supportive person. She comes off strong but she means well and I learned a lot in her class. I noticed students that expected an easy A were upset with this class, but if you don't mind putting the time and effort in for your grade, you can definitely get an A.

Honestly, if you do the work and participate, you'll do great. Just know that her rubric is a little bit strange and it's easy to lose points in areas that don't seem important. Overall, she has high standards for her students, but it's nothing unmanageable. Just be interested and ready to participate.

Very strict on grading, but she outlines her expectations very clearly. An A is very doable, and the final is well-written. Those complaining giving 1s are likely exaggerating in my opinion. It wasn't that bad.
