Horrible awful, not really a teacher even but a proctor who has the final say and can kick you out of class for finishing a test 2 minutes late. Recomend not taking MTH 102 if you can help it.

Hey kids this is a mastery class. You need to know everything in the workbook to succeed in the other math classes, your lucky they make you get 20's on everything.

If math does not come easily to you, do NOT ask Ms. Ford for help - find a knowledgable proctor (or better yet - an off-campus tutor) instead. She will make you feel like a total moron. Another downside to the class - only two absences are allowed, even with a valid excuse (i.e. illness), or you will fail.

Well I agree that Lynn has no soul and was really surprised to see that she was a Mrs and not Ms because no one in their right mind would marry her. It's pretty sad that wsu has hired such a horrible person to be a part of their team. It's only a matter of time before WSU gets in serious trouble because of something Lynn says or does.

Take the night class if you can. The day classes are 'taught' by Lynn who just has student proctors monitor your progress. There is no teaching in this class. Whoever said it was time consuming is right because you teach yourself. Proctors don't help.

I took this class spring quarter of '09 and passed. However, it was the only class I took and I believe that is why I passed. I was able to devote all my time to it. You will need to work hard and SPEND EVERY FREE MINUTE YOU HAVE in the Help Room. You mainly teach yourself. Lynn (along with some of the proctors) think its funny to belittle you.

Let me start by saying I never acturally met Lynn Ford, she only came on the first day and I wasen't there. Second this is a 3 credit hour class but there is not way you will get all your work done on time unless you spend 4-5 hours a week out of class doing work for it. Useless class, but you have to take it thanks to WSU.

I enjoyed the class Dev 095 but I absolutely hated the professor. Thankfully, I only had to deal with her three times throughout the quarter but each time I dealt with her, she was rude, too old fashioned, and short with me. All the teaching assistant people were great, though. They all were helpful and nice.

This class is the definition of Hell itself. You have to teach yourself the concepts. Lynn and Nimi (the foreign lady) are rude, and make you feel very stupid. I've had to take this class 3 times to get anywhere close to passing it. There is so much work to do in the class. You have to spend every waking second of your day in the help room to pass

Ford doesn't teach the class, the class is broken up into groups and a person (proctor) is assigned to each group. I enjoyed the proctor that I had and liked that this class allowed the student to work at there own pace.

Lynn Ford was hardly ever in class but Nimi was there a lot and most people say they are very rude but I found Nimi to be very helpful and since I was ALWAYS in the help room she would go out of her way to help me cause she knew what I needed help with. This class is a LOT of work so plan on spending alot of time in the help room.

First off, Professor Ford NEVER showed up to teach class, all of the classes are taught by student proctors. Her class is all about 'jumping through hoops', so you HAVE to attend each and every class if you want to pass the course. Honestly, if you just bite your tongue and grin and bear all the "busy work" you will make it out alive with an A.

What happened to the dozens of poor ratings Lynn had on here? Either way, the first time I got on this website, I noticed that Lynn had the most ratings and they were all negative - but true. She is heartless. It doesn't matter how you do in the class. She is degrading and a worthless teacher.

She was very degrading told to "try to get this right the first time" she was really rude to me when I went to her office to talk with her. Seems like she doesnt want to do her job... help students. The proctors are nice sometimes when youre in class. The help room is always busy. Almost impossible to finish in a quarter.

Ford is basically just a supervisor and she's not even in class. The class is taken at your own pace. You buy a workbook and textbook, and you're supposed to teach yourself with the textbook, answer questions pertaining to the text. You have to have your answers checked by your proctor to move on. Do NOT put off going to the help room.

Do not be afraid to take this class because of all the comments people have made. This class is a piece of cake, seriously. The proctors are extremely helpful, especially Nimi. Go to class and go to the help room when you have a spare hour or two. There's no reason why you can't finish in one quarter if you actually try.

Don't worry about the bad comments you rarely see Mrs. Ford most of the time the proctors were helping you. MUST make time to go to the help room and you should be fine.I had an AWESOME proctor who as soo helpful and knew how to teach the material. I would suggest getting ahead when possible because the helproom gets EXTREMELY crowded during tests

She has the class set up so that even if you take the lecture version of the class it is very difficult to pass especially if you have a learning disability in math. She does not understand that students with math disabilities will probably need to have partial credit in order to pass.

Mrs. Ford was never in class, the only times she was ever around was the first day of class and in the help room. Your proctor is basically your teacher. My proctor, Liza, was so nice and very helpful. She explained way better than the book! Go to the help room as much as you can; I didn't go for a whole week and I got so far behind.

Never see Lynn Ford, your proctor, a student, will be your teacher. My proctor Liza was great and I finished the class three weeks early. You work at your own pace & make sure you go to the help room often. Grade doesn't count toward your GPA.

You see her the first day and then your only with your assigned proctor from then on. The class is an "at your own pace" class so REALLY take advantage of the help room next door to the class. I was finished with the class in only a month because of it.

Lynn is the overseer of this class. You have proctors that you work with every day. You do an assignment, and the proctors will check to see how you did. If you got some wrong, they'll assign more. If you got them right, they'll assign the next page. Proctors are upperclassman. This class is no joke. Take it seriously! A lot of work!

This particular class was all computer based software. Proctors run the class and are very helpful. Mrs. Ford is rarely there, but that is fine due to the proctors. If you know your algebra, you can finish the class early. I finished in about 5 weeks, totally self paced. You can only miss 6 classes or they will fail you.

I found this class to be fairly simple. I liked that you could go at your own pace. I rarely would see Mrs Ford there because there would be student teachers there to help. The unit tests can be stressful if you don't review before them. I did find it crazy that you had to get atleast a 80 to pass your unit tests, but overall not a bad class.

Class itself is pretty simple, however Mrs. Ford is extremely rude. I had a pretty rough semester and couldnt make it to some classes. I finished the entire course a month early, but she wouldnt let me take the final because of 2 unexcused absences, even with doctors excuses. She failed me and wasnt accommodating in any way.

Ford is the most stiff, and unkind woman I have ever met. I think she forgets we are all adults. She will talk down to you as if you were a child and I would not suggest her to anyone!!!!!! I will be honest though, mathwise.. she knows her stuff. Too bad she is too much of a witch for anyone to know that.

This class is horrid. It's an online class that you have to come to school for. When you're stuck, the teachers do not help you, STUDENTS help you. But don't try to help your neighbor or you'll get yelled at. They really make you feel stupid for not knowing something but how can you know it? THE TEACHERS DONT TEACH ANYTHING!

Mrs. Ford is the rudest professor I have ever had. She is extremely unpleasant and disrespectful with a strict, stern attitude. She treats the class like prison and the proctors are like correctional officers. Avoid taking this teacher at all costs.
