Took this course internet based. No lecture. She was extremely helpful with all questions, even going beyond the scope of the lesson if you requested. Math is Math some people dont get it. If thats you sign up, she has lecture courses as well. up to pre-cal I think. Great.
She is very helpful and goes beyond the call to help you. Has a tutoring business on the side and you can go see her in the office after class for free. If you dont get it you will with this lady. Super sweet and caring.
Goes wayyyy too fast. The class itself is too fast paced as well. Just expects everyone to "get it." Not a horrible teacher..very nice, in fact. However, if you're mathematically challenged, you might consider a different instructor.
love love love this lady!!!
The best teacher I have ever had!!!! I can't wait till I can take her again.
Hands down she is the best at teaching someone math at any level. She was born to explain and teach math to people who might not be so good at math.
This is a very great professor. When I took her class I was very low, and she worked really well with me. She has the patience of a whirlwind. I recommend this professor for anyone taking whatever math she teaches. She has a great personality. On a scale 1-10, she gets a 9.
This lady is very sweet and helpful...As long as you pay attention and take notes YOU WILL DO FINE!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!
Great teacher! She is helpful and if you're not so great in math, she will NOT make you feel stupid in any way. My only complaint is that she has so much information that she MUST get it out immediately. If the class slows her down with too many questions, she gets irritated. Other than that, she's happy to explain something as much as you need it.
Best Math Teacher I have ever had!!!!I would recommend her to any one. She breaks it down to easy to understand steps and cuts out the stuff you don't need. I made a 99.8 final average. This after the last math class I had was 15 years ago.
Ms. Foster is a very sweet lady. I though that I would end up with a C since I screwed up on the final exam. She gave 5 extra credit points and placed a huge curve on our final exam grades. I passed the class with a B now ! Thank You Ms. Foster for your hard work and dedication in helping students achieve their success in life.
Ms. Foster is very sweet and extremely intelligent when it comes to teaching math. Very helpful during math lab or her ofice hours. Assigns extra credit periodically for tests. Homework, Tests Reviews, and Final Exam Reviews on Campus Cruiser with answers which is a life saver. Highly recommended for any algebra courses you may need. Great lady !
Mrs. Foster was the best algebra teacher!!! Very helpful! I highly recommend her! Gives extra credit for extra work, helps GPA. I made a 96 in the class, and I didn't spend more than 1-2 hrs on each day's work! Go to class, take notes, listen and work hard!! :) GREAT TEACHER!
AWESOME math teacher! Very helpful, very clear about what she wants on tests, and gives you tests from previous semesters to study. Best math professor I've ever had hands down. You're a fool if you fail or drop this class.
I loved this class math comes really easy for me and she made it even easier. There is no excuse why you shouldnt pass this class. She answers all your questions and does her best to make sure you pass. I took her online class.
Mrs. Foster is a very sweet lady, extremely helpful,fair grading, gives extra credit. She even made a song to help remember a formula. I definately recommend her.
This class is easy. She is really patient and spells things out really clearly. I found it to be kind of boring but not bad. She does seem to dumb things down some. She doesn't write the formal definitions of things. Overall I would recommend her.
I love, love, love Professor Foster. She was so helpful and helped you succeed. TAKE HER!
She was a great teacher! She teaches everything that will be on the tests and explains any questions you have, i loved her class. She gave all the help needed and its most certain to pass her class!
I love Miss Foster. She is THE BEST. She is so patient, and thorough. So much that there is no excuse not to pass her class. I appreciate her for building my confidence. I wish she taught Trig this semester. If you attend class, take notes, do your homework, passing with a high grade is a guarantee.
very helpful, informative, and willing to clarify any questions. will aid students in becoming aware of problems; problem solving and assist in errors which students performs to make learning more.
Great teacher! Most work done on computer but you have to be there for test, any questions you have she will answer them and give you the best explanation you need, luved this teacher!
PICK MS. FOSTER! Ms. Foster is the best Math teacher I have ever taking. She makes time to ensure every student understand the homework and tests. I enjoyed her so much that I took her for Math 0302, Math 0304, Math 0350, and Math 1314 and made A's in every class. If you don't take her you will regret it. PICK MS. FOSTER!!!!
She is the best teacher I've ever had. Very patient.
really helpful, and not only knew the material but also how to teach it.
A very fast paced class. She teaches fast and expects for you to understand the first go round. Overall she is helpful and if you go to class and pay attention you will pass. Do homework and the reviews because they help tremendously.
GREATEST MATH TEACHER! She makes it all so easy. I loved her class and I would take her again for anything. She works hard for the students to succeed. If you need to take a math, take her, she is incredible
This teacher is absolutely amazing! I have always been terrible at math, but she has made everything so crystal clear this semester. She works very hard to help her students with anything. I wish I could take her for my other math classes. If she teaches it....I am taking it! Amazing!
Her tests are hard. She is very fair on partial credit. Has good attitude towards teaching. She is very intelligent, sometimes she goes too fast. But, she will slow down if you ask. I like her
The Best teacher. I have always struggled in math and she made thins so clear I now understand algebra!! If you struggle take her.
She is a credit to the profession of teaching. I HATE math and she makes it tolerable for me with her good attitude and willingness to answer questions. You can't go wrong with choosing her for a teacher. She does her best to put forth the material in a way thats understandable, as long as you do the homework for practice.
This is the best math teacher ever! I had taken this class twice before and had to drop. She is very clear. One of the most helpful things was you could print her notes from class. I made an A. If you have a hard time with Math take her!!!!!
Wonderful teacher in the world! I got 105% in Calculus class. High recommend her for all math classes.
I LOVE this proffesor!!! She makes everything incredibly easy to understand. Im taking her for Calculus, and I was kind of scared of this class, but she has made it a breeze for me!! Im making an A+ and I am confident that I will make an A!! No way to fail her class!!!! TWO THUMBS UP!!!! :)
The best math teacher in the world!!! And a wonderful person. If you didnt pass this class, you didnt try at all. Ms. Foster helped me on Easter Sunday. She is by far, the most helpful teacher/person I have ever met.
Mrs. Foster is a wonderful teacher.. She helps you really understand Algebra and math and has so much enthusiasm for it she makes you feel the same way.. highly recommended..
Best instructor ever!!!Very helpful. Lots of chances for extra credit - drops grades.Explains, helps, encourages you to ask questions. Always happy. Great attitude. Take her!
I wish that I could take Ms. Foster for EVERY class that I had to take! I love her so much because she made me feel so much better about Math. I still don't like it, but I don't HATE it like she said was her goal. PLEASE take her!! You will not regret it.
I HATE math- put college alg off till my SR YEAR but this lady made it possible. Very thorough; offers detailed pencasts, lots of extra help, and replaces a test with final grade if needed. Super nice, she really wants to help students pass and does not care if math is not your thing. I dreaded this class;w/o Foster it would have been hard to pass.
Very nice teacher but the reviews are nothing like the actual test!!! lots of homework only two test the Midterm and Final both very very hard! homework is somewhat easy take another teacher if you want an easy A
Take Mrs. Foster, Math always was my weakest subject and passed with a B+. She is very helpful and makes it easy to learn.
She is extremely easy. 4 exams(the last two have take home portions) and the final. The final can be used as a replacement for one of your lowest test grades. She also gives you previous test that she has given to review for the exams. Take for an easy A. without studying hard.
Ms.Foster is the best math professor I have ever had. Math is my weakest subjuect but this teacher was so comprehensible and helpful, I managed to make an "A" in the class. I would recommend that everyone take this professor if you are really interested in learning the material and making a decent grade.
This was a difficult subject for me. Most of the class was self-taught, but Ms. Foster was available whenever I needed her. If you don't do well in Math, an online course will be difficult. Only two tests, but she gave all the tools necessary to do well and the opportunity to finish early. Would definitely take her again.
She was a little disorganized at first, but she hadn't taught the class in years. Over time I saw how great she is. The quizzes are online and you get multiple retakes (highest score counts) and the tests are moderately hard, less so if you actually study. She really takes the time to help her students though. Great instructor.
If math is not your strong point take her. will work with you as long as you put in effort. Very patient would take her again. Recommend her to anybody who struggles with math.
She is a very good teacher. I took her online in the summer, so it was very fast paced. She gives lots of examples and she is very clear what to expect on test.
BY FAR THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!! Tons of examples and options for you to choose from to learn the material. Took her online class and she is extremely nice and goes the extra mile to help you pass the course! TAKE HER!
The best math teacher, loved her lessons. I took online class, 2 tests plus Final at the Campus. If you are not strong in math do not take online class, very intensive! I loved the way how she lectures online, smart lady!
Foster is such an easy professor. I took her for Calc 1 and she gives out practice tests which are exactly like the exams except she switches out numbers. Lectures are always posted online. Easy and fair grader. Tests are no surprise. Hardly any homework. Wish she taught Calc 2.
I have always struggled with algebra, and I passed this course with flying colors. If you do the homework and the practice tests, you will definitely pass. She even gives a practice final exam to help make sure that you pass the class. Great instructor.
I suck at math but with Mrs Fosters help I did well. She knows the subject very well. She uploads a practice test before each exam. If you work them, you will pretty much know what the test will look like. The quizzes (over the homework) were taken online with multiple chances. I would highly recommend her if you struggle with math. She's great!
If you're taking this course online, don't buy the book, as you won't use it! Everything is done through MyMathLab, and is beyond simple. Make sure to view the videos and power points, and take the practice tests and finals if you want to do well!! I took this exact class senior year of HS & nearly failed, but this go I passed with an insane grade.
Very nice lady. Class was taken online during the summer 6 week session. 4 Unit Homework assignments (very lengthy, 2 tests, and the final (multiple choice)
Love This Teacher! Take her! This class is such an EASY A. She will do the do's and dont's to problems, shell go over it if you ask her too as much needed!
Mrs. Foster is a great teacher and she explains things different ways so if you don't get it one way you will get it another way. I recommend everyone to take her. She is a great teacher. You have to do the work, so that you will gain a better understanding. She helped me on how to use the calculator and understand the formulas. Take her seriously
Great setup for her online class. You have to realize that if you take her online, its only hard because its algebra. If you keep up with your work and email her any questions you have, she will explain it to you. Tip: When doing homework on MyMathLab, click "view an example" and it makes for an easy step by step way to learn!
I took her Math1314 CAI class, so it was mainly working on your own but I still came to class. But whenever I needed her she was so helpful, and understanding about when I could finish the class. She gives at least 10 points of partial credit on each test and it REALLY makes a difference. Take her if you need a math class and you hate math lol

Super sweet teacher always willing to help. Her lectures are easy if you are following along do your homework and you will pass. The practice test is basically the test so study and ask questions if you have any.
Professor Foster was great! She posts practice tests with step by step answers before every exam (even the final). She gives alot of partial credit on her tests, even if you get the question wrong. Her tests are very straight forward. She posts homework weekly that has to be done online but through blackboard so mymathlab is not required.
Her teaching style is very clear and easy to understand (she doesn't require mymathlab). Puts lectures online so if you miss a day you won't fall behind. Practice test are also online and are a lot of help and a good guideline for what will be on the test. Exam is multiple choose, quizes are online, hw is optional, she will take the time to help u
DO TEST PRACTICE EXAM TEST. WILL HELP YOU ALOT ON TEST. HOMEWORK IS ALOT BUT MATH LAB ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP AND ANSWERS ON THE BACK OF BOOK. SHE JUST WANTS YOU TO TRY. THATS WHAT SHE CARES MORE. HARD TOPICS BUT ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP N GUIDE YOU. DOES NOT GIVE EXTRA CREDIT BUT DOING PRACTICE TEST AND USING MATHLAB FOR TAKEHOME TESTyOUsHOULDgETaNA.
Great Proffesor Test Review exactly like exam just diffrent numbers. Do your homework and the class will be an easy A. Best Proffesor hands down
Great teacher and responds quickly to emails.
Excellent professor. 4 exam plus final. The review exams exactly like the tests, she just change the number. Lots of quizzes but she allow you to get help from tutoring or other people. If you miss the class check her online tutoring on MyPortal so you won't stay behind. She will drop 1 lowest exam and 2 lowest quizzes.
I took her for online college algebra and dropped. She was the worst math teacher i have ever had, she took years to reply, did not grade a single thing besides our first day discussion board and i was literally in the class until March. The online homework (which there was a lot) gives videos to teach you the material and that's how you learn.
I took the combined class 0362 & 1314 class. It was a M-Thu. So LOTS of homework, about 4 tests, and the 1 final. Pay attention in class, do your homework, study, and you WILL pass. Math is my toughest subject and I made As in both classes. She will work and explain thing multiple times if you need her too. Just ask! I highly recommend her!
I took her during Maymester for MATH1314. She wants you to ask questions, she is really great with helping students and making sure you understand how to do it. Make sure when you take any exam number your paper so she can look over it because she gives you extra credit if you at least tried to work it out but didn't get it right!!
I've dropped out of algebra 5 times and out of college twice because of this class. This teacher is brilliant. She teaches in a way that speaks to my non-math mind. If you listen to her in class, she'll tell you exactly how to be successful in her class. She's a non-math mind whisperer. But do the work and study! Follow her directions! You'll pass.
I took this class online, had trouble with my WIFI during my final and she let me retake it! Was a huge blessing and on top of that curved my final average 3 points to a B!! Super helpful!! Definitely awesome!
She is the best math professor i have had. Explains math concepts in a easily to understand manner. Post lecture notes and past exams online so you can easily refer back to them.
I did not want to see another math class but I had just one more to take and I am so glad I chose Ms Foster! She was very well educated in teaching you on your level but with support and ease. Her teaching style was bendable to adapt as needed for each student and she was clear on all things related to this class. Highly recommend her!
I dont know how she has good ratings on here. All she does is lectures for the entire class, we dont do any worksheets or practice algebra in class. Just quizzes and exams. The worst math teacher I have ever had.
Took 0362/1314. Youll never get out of class early she works problems on the projector. homework is harder than test (6). Study the reviews because theyre exactly like the test just different numbers. You dont need to buy myMathLab. Gives hw daily. If you hate math you should probably take her because if youre able to show your work she can help
Honestly, one of the best teachers I've ever had. She helped explain things on my own level during her break when she didn't even need to. Spent time with me in the Math lab till i understood how to do it on my own. Very caring and wants to see you succeed. opportunity for extra credit on every test to help your grade. I enjoyed her class!!
Took online. She opens everything up early so its self paced. Finished MML within the 14 day trial, so didnt have to pay for the HW. Its easy.
I took her because of her rating. However, this year she changed her teaching style and requires all students to turn in EXCESSIVE amounts of homework. She expects you to remember everything from College Algebra. She comes across as very direct and rude-even if she tries not to. She rushes through the material and never enough time to understand.
She is so difficult with the amount of hw she assigned. She came across as rude and expected us to know everything from college algebra. I am an A student and by far she is the hardest and worst professor I have ever had. Beware, everyone, you are in for a tough semester with this professor. 4 exams, 1 final, loads of hw. and you may cry
I took this class online over the summer and as long as you do the take notes over her lectures, do the homework, and take the tests you are okay. I do not understand why people are saying this class was hard it was literally the same exact topics we learned in high school algebra II. Also I got the access for free because i finished in 14 days.
So I wouldnt say Professor Foster is a horrible professor. Yes, the homework in this class was almost UNBEARABLE and the tests are all proctored which adds more stress to the student. But I could tell that she genuinely wanted to help her students out. Its sad but its the reality. If you take her class, expect homework almost every other day.
She isn't the worst. Yes a lot of homework but she posts videos on every section with notes so you can always watch them back. No live lectures and she will meet privately with you on BB & help you work the problems. Organized but lacks a little on emails/communication. I HATE math & I was able to get through it with her help and a good calculator.
I struggle a lot with math, and I barely passed. However, it is not the class's fault, just poor studying skills. With that being said, *please study*! Tests are 60% of the grade and (to me) also utilize the textbook! I also HATED Protorio so much. It never worked and added 100x more stress. However, Prof Foster seemed like she really cared!
Took college algebra during the maymester. 4 hours every day on ALEKS, which is actually a good place to learn. You make mistakes and it gives you problems to practice/solutions. It can get very time consuming. Tests really arent that bad. I got a 97 and finished the class in 8 days. A good graphing calculator will help you VERY much.
Ms. Foster responds very quickly and is super helpful when asked questions.
She is very nice professor and I recommend you to take her. Although you have to do a lot of homework, but most of your questions will be answered in class, of course you will get extra credits for the homework.
Professor Foster is amazing. Here is what you need to know. There is homework, it is optional, but if you do turn it in, it will give you 5 extra points to your exam grade. She does hand grade exams, SO if you have it halfway correct, you will receive some credit for your problem. There is a bonus question on exams, can earn another 5 points.
Professor Foster is a kind, understanding and generous professor. I was planning to take my following math course from her but she isn't teaching it during Fall. Attendance isn't necessary, I went the first month but quickly realized the lectures went against my learning style and it wasn't helping me so I stopped going. Schoolwork is through ALEKS
I took her class a couple of semesters back, but would definitely recommend. Always willing to help out, even former students.
if you're someone that doesn't like to learn by computer do not take this class, be prepare to take tests study a lot. some of the homework was very difficult.
She teaches fast. Be prepared for doing more individual work than group work. Ask questions if you do not know something, if not she will continue on. Her test are usually 25 questions, over 50 ish topics. I personally did not like how she taught, because it was very fast paced, and we need to go over at least 10-13 topics each class.
Professor Foster is super helpful and understanding. While the course can be challenging, she makes the material digestible. Using unstuckstudy alongside the textbook and attending office hours really helped me succeed.
Algebra can be difficult for most. I always tell people to take her course. She sets it up for you to succeed. I finished with a very high A. There is quite a bit of homework, just do what you covered in class before the next class. There are 3 units. 3 HW grades based on completion, and 3 exams. The HW directly helps you with the exams.
Overall decent professor if you stay up to date with homework and test reviews. homework is a completion grade, but there is a lot of it! tests are graded 1 point for correct answer, 3 points for work shown. i disregarded homework and it got me the grade i deserved. just put in effort and you will do great.
By all means, take this professor! She's amazing! She explains everything so clearly and is willing to answer any questions. She makes sure that her students understand the material and know how to solve certain math problems. She also gives us great study guides for tests! Tests and homework are not difficult. Overall, she is excellent!
