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!
Ms. Torres is a very smart and helpful instructor. She understands the students ability and is willing o work with them if they work with her methods of teaching. Overall, Ms. Torres is a great teacher.
She is the best math teacher i ever had. Her class is so easy, but easy in the way that u understand everything she teaches perfectly. She makes math seem so easy, which is hard to do. Best teacher, everyone should take her.
Great teacher to have, and she is funny. Helps you out if you just ask. She makes it as easy as possible for you to understand. She does a review before taking a test and doing the math homework helps out as well, considering she uses some math homework questions on the tests and quizzes.
She is a very kind and a good instructor. She is very helpful and clear. If you are not very good at math, you can pass her class if you work for it. That goes to tell you that although she is a good teacher, she is not as easy as most would like.
Unfortunately, I feel she is very unprofessional with no ethic and needs more training as a teacher. She would be great for elementary school but not for college. If you like a serious, respectful type of enviroment do not take her.
She's just okay. She knows her math, but besides that, she doesn't seem very intelligent in other areas. She does need to work on being more professional, she must be new or something.
No Comments
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.
Ms. Torres is pretty cool. Although she assigns chapters of homework every week. so if you dont have time to do homework, dont take her. but her class is pretty easy, like i said as long as you do the homework, and decent grades on test. you'll be ok.
She is very understanding, as far as a teacher.... she is kinda weird.. but she's cool! if u cant her pass than u must be an Id..T..
good teacher
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER...SUPER HELPFUL & EASY...JUST TALK TO HER WHEN U DONT UNDERSTAND & SHE'LL HELP U. SHE'S SUPER NICE & EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN DETAIL. LOVE HER!!!
BEST PROF. HELPFUL & NICE. EASY A. TAKE HER!!!
Ms torres is one of the best teachers at cerritos... she explains everythin' step by step and if u have a question she's always there to help...
she is awesome. i suck at math but she made everything clear and understanding. she wants to help you succeed and really cares about her students.if you suck at math, take her, she'll help you through it!!!
MS. Torres knows her math but doesn't have time for people who don't catch on fast enough. You will also feel overwhelmed with all the homework required in her class. If you love math and homework, take her class. But if you don't, Stay far, far away!
Grade school, Jr High & High school FAILED math. Math 20 course taken twice @ cerritos colleg FAILED. UNTIL Ms. Torres was recommended to me, Math for the 1st time ever was fun and actually made sense to me! If you suck @ math really bad (like me) take her. excellent teacher, explains math in a logical clear humorous way! BEST TEACHER EVER TAKE HER
mrs. torres was amazing! shes a great proffesor if your not very strong at math. shes cool and laid back. do what you have to do and you'll pass. HIGHLY RECOMEND.
MS. TORRES IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. I RECOMMEND HER 2 EVERYONE. JUST ATTEND CLASS ALL THE TIME & PAY ATTENTION. SHE MADE MATH LOOK SOO SIMPLE. TAKE HER! TAKE HER! TAKE HER! =)
She gives u all the notes u will ever need and use..all her lectures are clear and understanding..u can tell she likes her job and there is not much hw...shes pretty funny and keeps the class intersting
she is a great teacher you will learn math from torres i can guarentee it!..fun and understanding teacher you can tell she loves her job...she gives u all the notes you need for the class and she hands out lots of extra credit..her hw is easy and she does not give alot..i will highly recomend this teacher..best math teacher ever =D
She gives great handouts, I was a little unsure at first but once u get used to her voice and style the class was good. My only thing was that her teaching style is way more relaxed than the way she grades on exzams.
Mrs. Torres is awesome, no other way to put it. All she ask's is to respect her and not have a huge conversation while she is teaching..."HINT" I failed cuz I stopped going to class due to science..yuck but my own fault I would take her 10x more..Her teaching is clear and understanding and she will stay after class to help
Ms. Torres! I love math because of her. I did not miss her class once because I just loved how she taught! She talks to you like you are her friend, not like a teacher. She made everything clear. Some did not pass her class because they were not paying attention. She will help you until you understand the material. Amazing instrictor.
OK..came here to find a great instructor, as math is diff 4 me, ratings sed she was great...BUT, apparently,the great instructor has been replaced by a pod person seeking favor w/admin. after recently becoming a full time prof...heed the warning of 8/09. Lots of work 4 min points & even if you do work,n try VERY HARD...SHE HAS NO PROB W/FAILNG U!!
She's okay.. During class she seems nice but if you try to talk to her afterwards she'll pretty much ignore you. Other than that and a ton of homework, you should be fine. Oh! And it's really hard to catch up if you miss a class.
she was one of the worst teachers i have had, she was very unprofesstional. used a lot of slang. a ridiculous amount of HW. she would be good for elemantery but not for college. im still taking her class and i dread going. dont recomend her. she could be "cool" at times but i DO NOT recomend her!!
She is Very unprofessional and uses a lot of outside slang. She tells jokes which are not funny and is extreamly annoying. While lecturing she is Hard to understand and follow, She also assigns a lot of homework. No wonder she was the only teacher open for math during my last min registration. Consider yourself warned!!!
I do not recommend this instructor, Doesnt take the time to help out in class, she just keeps moving at her own pace,its pretty much useless to see her after class.Oh and nails on a chalk board sounds much more pleasant than hearing her 2nd grade little girl voice
Ms. T was an awesome teacher. This class has a lot of material to cover. You need to be there, and you need to pay attention. She was always available during her office hours. She always gave a study guide for the test (which was a life saver). If you are serious about school and willing to do your part...she's willing to help you. I received an A!
She was an awesome professor! People complain about her slang. but we are grown ups...we can handle it. As for hw. yes she gives alot but its worth it because the hw she gives us is on the test. She gives study guides which was basically everything on the test. DO YOUR STUDY GUIDE!!! attend class and dont be rude and use your freakn phone! Good Job
I love Ms. Torres. I randomly chose her for Math 40 and liked her so much I decided to take her for 60. She has a dry sense of humor which makes you laugh and sit on the edge of your chair to hear what shell say next. She gives a lot of hw but if you do it it's to your benefit, she uses hw and notes for tests. Do your work and youll pass.
Professor Torres is the easiest class one can have. She makes the class fun interest and not boring. I use to hate math but she made me like it. Her class is very easy. Tests are easy and if u do the hw and quizzes you will do fine. I strongly recommend her.
MATH 60! Great proffesor! She gives you the class notes (almost like highschool) BUT YOU WILL learn. I took this class Summer 2010. It was fast (but hey its summer!). YOU WILL UNDERSTAND FACTORING after this class she is awesome and lots of practice with it. You will enjoy the class she is funny. Strongly Reommended.
She makes the class fun, although she may talk to you like if you were little kids, it's okay she makes everything clear. She's pretty funny sometimes. She's strict on the cell policy but other than that I would recommend her to my friends :)
The class started out moderately easy but by the end of the semester she started cramming us with too much information. 11 of us were not able to finish the final. If I would've studied 5 more hrs. more than the approx. 7 hrs. that I studied for finals, I might have gotten an A rather than the B I received. Attendance is a must for her class.
gives study guides + answer key before test, comes in on saturdays too for extra help before an exam... is funny, nice, passionate about her job, teaches well
Ms. Torres did a lot of extra work to make the subject comprehensible and clear. If you want to learn math she is the teacher to take. Breaks it down and works with you until you get it. Go to class and do your homework. You'd have to work really hard to fail!
Amaziinnnggg teacher I love math because of her and the only reason I got a B was because I missed assignments!! Most important thing is to do your hw..if you don't you won't get the grade you want!! It will hurt your overall grade..I love the way she teaches she inspired me to get into a career that involves mathematics :D she's great!!
AMAZING TEACHER! Im not a person who loves math and isnt good when it comes to test/quizzes. But she is very clear and goes step by step. Says alot "check it out!" but overall you can get a "A" if you study and take the time to listen, be in class, & do ur work! SHE IS A MUST !!!!!
took ms. torees for math 40 and it was the biggest mistake i made because,she sucks as a teacher. ms. torres was too strict and was not fair on grading took points off for any little thing. she rushed through a few sections. she just confused me all the time i do not recommend her. if u want a good teacher for math 40 take JORDAN hes awsome :)
She will not accept your take home quiz or test if you are tardy! She also takes off points on exams for every little thing. Overall, it's a very easy class. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS! Guaranteed A if you do that.
She was unprofessional and used slang . You don't get point for hw only quizzes and exams is where it counts . She told Spanish jokes but it's ppl In the class that speak English
No hand-holding, if you struggle with Math she may not be the best option. Having said that she is a fair professor who gives partial credit, does study guides (not copies of tests), take-home quizzes and holds study sessions donating HER time. Overall she is effective and prepares you not only for the next level of Math but college in general.
Ms. Torres is the best Math 80A teacher. I got an A after getting a D in a previous math 80A class. She was clear and thorough. During her office hours she helped as much as she could. I wished she was available for Math 80B.
she is an okay teacher, it sucks how she doesnt collect the homework which is how majority fo the people learn their things. but shes okay. and i hate how she kicks you out for having your phone out but yet your not using it when the people who use it dont get kicked out. im getting a better grade with another teacher.
Very easy, love her, she loves her students to do well, goes the extra mile, take home quizzes , sometimes take home exams, some extra credit and she gives extra time to help you. A+ professor
She is a really nice teacher! Does a lot of take home quizzes but her exams are quite hard. You need to study and ask lots of questions. Its best not to miss any class since you will be left behind. Get on her good side and she will end up helping you more.
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.
Shes okay but did not understand her work shes so special
she use to be a gangster back in the day hooped earrings, LA gear and watch the way she holds the markers. she loves her job and she always says the she ready passed her class so she wants u to get as much help as u can get. I got a C but I didn't do any home work I think I would have gotten a better grade if she want the homework necessary.
If you are behind on your math skills, don't take this teacher, she is not willing to help. She expects you to seek help on your own and her lectures are not understandable. Very hard grader and doesn't care if the whole class is failing. Would never take again. Expects you to know math from day one.
This instructor is not helpful and all she is worried about if you are on the cell phone. She needs to focus on teaching and not on your personal belongings. The math department need to audit her, many students dropped her class and many students didn't pass. If you are failing she doesn't care or offer help. Not recommending this class at all.
She won't pass you do not take her ! You will regret it like I did she failed the whole class she thinks she's good but in reality she's not even close.
Ms. Torres was a good professor you must understand math to get her lectures. She moves at a good pace and doesn't assign homework. She's a tough grader. Takes her a little while to get your tests back and she has take home quizes easy way to rack up points.
Attendance: Don't skip! Gives extra credit and take home quizzes! CW: Spent on going over lecture, clear, kinda long HW: None QuizzesTest: You'll pass if u study her notes, not hard nor easy Her attitude is so chill, funny and laidback! Don't take this class if your a lazy person and want an easy A. Wish I can take all my math classes with her
Mrs Torres is a horrible teacher. She understands what she is doing but she can't teach it worth her life. She docks point off for stupid stuff, and never gives grace. she takes roll but participation is not graded. I don't get it. Wouldn't take her again if I got payed.
Professor Torres was my first math professor at Cerritos College and I loved her! Good, understandable lectures plus she gives notes, which is VERY helpful. Homework was optional but I would definitely recommend doing it anyway. Gives take home quizzes, and exams were not difficult (as long as you study). Overall great professor!
I do not recommended Ms. Torres. She goes by the lectures too quick and their all on worksheets. She doesn't really explain or gives us steps to how to solve the problem, she just gives us examples. Plus her homework is not for credit. Also, I had 3 classmates that were taking this class for the second time.
Had her for math 60 9 week session, she was very easy to understand, and answered all student questions, gives all take home quizzes and 3 mid terms along with a final. Hw not mandatory. The tests are easy if you just pay attention in class, and do the practice tests on her website.
I've had to retake prealgebra about 4 times in my life. I honestly thought i was hopeless when it came to math. Ms Torres completely turned that around. She explains every detail and simplifies each problem to make sure you understand. She keeps things fun with her dorky sense of humor and I intend to take her class whenever possible.
I took her for math 80 she is very mean and a tough grader there is an always surprise quiz u wont know and she dosent tell us about it i hate her no one in my class got an A 9 people failed and 2 people got B worst proffessor ever never take her
Lectures are easy to understand. The professor is too strict and is always in a bad mood. She dismisses students in frustration.
Seems very nice, but be optimistic, lectures are not complicated. She breaks every math problem down to where you can understand it. But does not work with you. If you don't ask Everytime you take a test or a quiz about your grade, you will never know if you are passing.
Shes great. Homework is optional but doing it will help you out. She gives take home quizzes and some extra credit. The hand outs she gives during the class clearly explain how to do the math, just follow that and you'll be fine. I only used the book twice when i got stuck. Just pay attention in class and she clearly explains questions when asked.
Ms. Torres is a really great teacher. Be on her good side and show her you care and she'll be more than happy to help. She wants all her students to pass and has great tricks to help solve complicated problems. She is a very very tough grader, she wants you to solve things fully. Does a lot of take home quizzes, easy way to earn ponits
she is a tough grader.
Her lectures are good she answers questions & the only graded things are midterms, short take home quizzes (which are easy points) & the final. Everything else is just studying and you"ll pass I was lazy I know I could've gotten a better grade I recommend her but dont miss class! I only had 2 classes and didnt work keep that in mind.
Professor Torres is the best. She is a tough but reasonable grader. Expect a lot of quizzes but the quizzes do help a lot. Exam are pretty hard but whatever that was on the lecture notes will probably be on the exam. So study the lecture note and you will definitely get a good grade on your exam.
Shes absolutely awful dont let these Good comments fool you. She posts nothing but lecture videos and constantly tries to crack non funny jokes, everything she goes over she ends up saying this isnt on the quiz..... so why are we going over things that arent on the test. Dont even get me started on the quizzes their 3-4 questions with no help!
I would not recommend Prof. Torres. Seems like a great person personally but not a great teacher. Grades way too hard. Asks to print all quizzes which could be hard for someone with no printer. Exams are way too hard. Just overall would NOT recommend.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. WORST TEACHER EVER. GRADES WAY TO HARD. YOU HAVE TO SHOW ALL WORK. IF WORK IS WRONG AND ANSWER IS RIGHT YOU GET NO CREDIT AT ALL. NO EXTRA CREDIT AT ALL. RUDE AND DONT CARE FOR HER STUDENTS AT ALL. A LOT OF QUIZZES AND TEST MOSTLY.
WORST TEACHER I have had! Doesnt email back! Graded on many quizzes/ exams! & GOOD LUCK on those, even if you get the answer right if she doesnt like the way you solve a problem she will mark points off for EVERY thing. Also teaches NOTHING, HER VIDEOS ARE NO HELP, was completely lost on quizzes/test bc she didnt teach 90% of what she gives!
Took this class b4 COVID. Its a shame that a lot of students give up on math bc they're not "good" at it. When in reality, they probably just had unfortunate introductions to it. Professor Torres made math so simple. Through this simplicity she gave me the confidence to continue on my math journey. I'm in Calc 3 and math 250 now.
I would not take her again .
Her grading is extremely harsh; you can get all of the answers right and get under 50 percent on an exam. I just barely managed to pull an A in the class with a near-perfect final performance. The exam periods are far too short, and the weekly work is like a full-time job in its own right. Passing this course while taking her is an accomplishment.
I took her for the spring 2022 semester and she was just an awesome teacher. 10/10 would take again.
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
easy to understand and always explains math problems in detail
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!
