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.

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.

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.

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

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!
