she's absolutely horrible. heinous. do not take her ever. you can't understand her, she has no clue how to teach, is condescending when you don't understand something. overall she's awful and highly not recommended

Terrible Teacher. Im sure she might be a nice person, but she has no idea how to effectively teach. Go to the learning center and get them to teach you after every class or you will do terribly. She will not teach you how to do anything on the calculator, so dont even bother to ask. Very hard to understand her accent. Avoid at all costs!!

Do not take Chiorescu or you will be spending much of your time in the learning center. She would often make mistakes in class when teaching and have to have students correct her. Not nice or sociable because she hardly speaks english. I made an A but only because I went to the learning center about 3 hours a day.

WORST TEACHER EVER!!! You can clearly see she could care less about the class or students success. NEVER answered her emails and made mistakes in class. Try another math professor

Dropped the class 1/2 way through. Can't understand what she's saying due to thick accent which made math 10x harder. She made a lot of mistakes that students corrected. She did not give off a vibe of caring at all. Tests and homework were online.... for math... those two things don't mix. 1 wrong symbol & its wrong. Save yourself & don't take.

I have never had a more horrible teacher. She was late every single day & had an attitude. Going to class was not helpful & was a complete waste of time. If you asked a question, she would blatantly ignore you and make a point to criticize you. The info I already knew became confusing once she lectured. Do not take her class if you don't have to.

She has a very thick accent, which is hard to understand. Her teaching style is hecka confusing bc she's foreign. Class time was a waste because she came to class late and with an attitude that showed she did not care. She is rude, sometimes even ignoring your question.Don't take the class. Or at least find another professor.

The reason foreign professors have a bad rep. Makes you buy top hat software which is very glitchy. Doesn't care about students or course material. Very hard to understand.

Easily one of the worst teachers I've ever had. Extremely difficult, not helpful, very rude, doesn't offer help or extra credit. Nothing close to an "excellent" teacher. I went through a hard time and she just wasn't there to offer any help.

She is a tough grader, she requires you to come to class everyday, you have to get 3 hours in the math lab each week when the homework and quiz don't take that long, the final isn't anything like the review so study all of the homework. She is rude as all get out.

I would not recommend this class (College Algebra) if you are not similar with algebra. I work hard for my grades and I got low B's. I have a hard time understanding the professor as well. The class is only one day a week, but you have to spend at least 2-3 hours in the math lab, but they're really helpful in there. The material is class is rushed.

Most terrible class I've ever taken. I honestly learned nothing from Chiorescu, the only reason I kind of know what's going on is thanks to the math lab people. I'm typically not that terrible at math but I feel like she makes everything so much harder. Half the time the online test reviews are missing over half of what will be on the test, I cried

She makes everything much harder than it should be and gets frustrated when you ask questions. Get ready to teach yourself a ton. Really use the math lab helpers and get 100% on every homework it'll help.

this teacher sucks. she does not teach and it is basically self taught. would not recommend this class too anyone. college algebra is an extremely easy course, just not when your teacher doesn't teach.

Did not teach at all. Do not take if you can't teach yourself math.

The course itself wasn't difficult but trying to follow her teaching was. She basically did problems on the board and then you were dismissed. No actual teaching happened. Nice person overall but can't teach.

She moves on very quickly when it comes to new material. She give no homework and some pop quizzes here and there. All her test are confusing and graded harshly. It's easy material but she doesn't explain it well and her accent gets in the way sometimes.

The material itself is not hard, but she doesn't teach it well. Her lessons are hard to follow. Also, don't expect her to give a clear answer if you ask a question.

She hands out note packets and expects groups of students to be able to fill them out with little to no instruction. She does not explain incorrect answers on tests unless you go to her office. She barely taught and did not explain the concepts clearly.

She is the worst professor I've ever had and that's saying a lot because I've had some really bad professors. She tests you on things you never learned in class, uploads homework the day it's due, and is just a bad teacher. She's definitely not mean at all, but it's hard to like her when she doesn't know what she's doing. DO NOT take her class.

DO NOT TAKE PRECALC WITH HER. I am not a genius when it comes to math, but I usually catch on pretty easily and do well- up until I took this class. It has been one of the most confusing, frustrating experiences of my college career. She is an inconsistent grader that gives hardly any time for tests. I failed 2/4 tests even after studying hard.

Rough teacher, doesnt seem to really care about the students and isnt very clear about the lectures. Struggled in her class all semester and had so much stress for no reason.

Chiorescu has a weird way of grading, Epstein (the other precalc teacher) gives homework grades and lets you correct P* as many times as possible. Chiorescu doesnt give any extra credit or help for that matter. DO NOT TAKE. 7 people failed her class because she does not care about helping her students.

I had her for pre-calc in the summer. She gave no time for the tests and she made you show all your work with the little time. She gave no extra credit and seemed to not care about your grade in the class. It was overall a tough class and she did not help her students at all.

this is the WORST professor/teacher I've ever had. The topics could be so simple but she explains in the most obscure and confusing way. Instead of teaching, she just goes over a worksheet every class and does not actually explain anything. If you ask questions she gets offended. And her grading system is so weird and does not make sense. Horrible

RUN! t takes forever to figure out her grading system and it makes no sense. She will give you multiple opportunities to make up certain learning checks but ultimately doesn't help when she won't give you consistent questions. If you end up taking this course I'm seriously praying she likes you because if she doesn't she will let it be known.

I try my hardest to be open minded, but she is awful! The grading scale is complete trickery. She acts like you are on track for the course to get an A, but makes it almost impossible to get points. She is not sympathetic or understanding. You could put in all the work and still fail. Run as far away as possible if you get this professor.

Dr. C is awful. She just goes through worksheets everyday in class as a "lecture" but doesn't actually explain anything. Anytime you ask a question she makes you sound like an idiot. She makes it sound like her grading system is great and helps you get an A, when in reality it makes no sense and fails you. Do NOT take her class!!!

This professor seems okay until the end of the semester. Avoid her at all cost, she acts like her grading system will be a good thing. At the end of the semester you will start to calculate your grade and probably will have a C or D. She does not want her students to succeed, she could care less.

Chiorescu is probably one of the worst teachers I have ever been in a classroom with. She is awful at explaining even the simplest of topics and will make you feel like an awful person if you are confused. The grading system is so infuriating because of the lack of partial credit. It's all or nothing. I dropped out halfway through the course.

While she says that attendance is not mandatory there is many in class assignments that count towards your grade. Majority of the class is her "teaching" you by filling out a worksheet and expects you to know everything immediately. You wind up teaching yourself all the info outside of class before quizzes. I took precalc in hs and still struggle.

This class was very hard to me and it was the first C I have ever gotten in a math course. I am a A student. If you cant work and learn on your own I wouldn't take. She goes fast. She is caring and accessible out of class. Her grading system was very confusing, and it was too late when I finally understood it to fix my grade. Test/quiz every week.

Such a miracle I made a B. I took precalc my senior year and my final grade was literally a 100% no joke. She is not personable and is hard to understand at times. Do all the extra credit and online homework. This class is insane, beware of the grading system it is ridiculous. You basically have no idea what your grade is until the end of the year.

Failed almost everything by at least one point. Grading criteria obscure & was changed halfway through the semester but this was not beneficial. No partial credit for almost anything. Questionable grader. Cryptic criteria. Lecture heavy. Quick to say your work is wrong- be prepared to explain for a while. Don't feel bad if she makes you feel inept.
