She is an excellent teacher. Gives a review before the test, and goes over it step by step. Tests are exactly the same like the review, but different #'s. She's really cool, and her class goes by really fast. The best math teacher I've had!

Honestly I was not pleased with her. She made comments that left me wondering what exactly she meant. As far as teaching she has a low tolerance for those who doesn't catch on quickly. Also to me she was not realistic, if you have nothing else to do but math homework all day and night you might make an A or B out of her class.

If you have a full time job, and need to take math 60 this is your class. The homework is not due its up to you to do it, but thats to a benefit you can do it on your days off if you have a full time job. The quizzes are take home, so your able to form study groups and do them together. Hardest thing is attending other, than that class was easy, and she teaches in a way you can easily learn.

I really enjoyed this class! I think Ms. Torres did a great job teaching, she goes into good depth into the things she teaches and teaches in a happy mood which makes the class more engaging. She has a good attitude and is more than willing to answer questions by anybody, homework is not collected, the tests I took were open notes, would take again

I took her fall 2023 and overall she was really great, lots of opportunities of extra credit when you corrected her. she gives homework, but it's only for you to study. her lectures are heavy and almost every week we go thru one chapter. at least 3 exams and a final. at the end she matched our lowest grade with the final, so that boosted my score.

Do not take this teacher. She can't teach, and made more than half of the class drop by the end of the semester. She also grades very harshly.

Nice professor but I feel she just solves problems in class and expects us to learn that way. We didn't do any on our own, and test and quizzes are all heavy graded. You miss an equal sign minus one point.

Amazing teacher, took her Survey of Mathematics class, it was her first semester teaching it I've failed math multiple times, and im not enthusiastic about math at all I truly believe if i'd had any other professor this time around, i would have failed again She engages you, and it's the least boring math class ever, relaxed pace, always helpful

Not a very caring professor and would crack unfunny jokes during lecture. You can get all the questions technically right on the exam and still score an F on it. Debating whether to report her to the math department! Do not take her if you want to pass and transfer. She is not for the students and it seems like she loves deducting points for fun

Prof. Torres has a way to really break down material for you to understand. She is very accessible outside of class with her student hrs, canvas emails, and even her YouTube videos of the class lectures. Lowest test score is dropped at the end of the course & even gives take home quizzes. Homework is assigned but not required to turn in. 10/10 rec!
