Gives too much work, is extremely annoying and truthfully is a poor teacher.
she was a very fun teacher, she made math fun and easy for me because math is a very hard subject for me
The best math teacher i have ever had in my life! She is awesome and will make sure you know what you are learning. Will help with any problems.
Was very helpful and made sure you knew what you were learning. Used easy to recall tactics to get you to remember stuff, and allowed "cheat sheets" for tests.
THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER!! sooo funny... keeps it interesting.. and makes sure u understand!! loved her
the best math teacher! high energy and very clear. i took her for intermediate algebra which was very detailed, as long as you go to class, you'll have NO problem
She is an awesome instructor, particularly for students with some learning difficulties.
I love her. She is a great teacher, easy to understand. She teaches well and prepares you for the next class without making class too difficult. As long as you pay attention and do the homework you should do fine. Very funny!
Great teacher, she really rocks!
I highly reccomend this teacher. She actually makes math fun *gasp*. She comes in a half hour before class to help anyone with homework. If you have trouble with a particular thing, just tell her and she'll find a way to teach it to you. She gives quite a bit of homework, but you don't have to do it
shes great and she makes class so interesting, i actually look forward to going.
It's true, she's awesome, funny, and helps you out A LOT. She gave our class directions and a map to her house to study for the exam. She makes herself available as much as humanly possible to make sure everyone passes. You'll love her.
Best damn math teacher you could ever get. This my second semester with her and she rocks. I actually enjoy going to my math class and yes she makes it fun and worthwhile. She definately makes sure you know what your doing by the end of a semester and her teaching habits and skills are at highest peak of any teacher/professor I've had in a while.

I agree. She's absolutely the best! I was worried that I would fail Stats, but the minute I walked in class and sat down, she had this big smile on her face, made you feel soo comfortable. I had questions about the quiz once, and she literally did the whole thing for me (explaining the process at the same time). I definitely recommend her.
Best math teacher i have ever had. She is awsome!
I took her class in Nature Coast while I was a DE student.Let's just say I don't regret it. Shes really helpful and tries to make every1 feel confortable in her class. All in all, math is not the easiest subject, but she really does whatever she can so you can get whats going on. If you put from your part she'll definitely put from hers!
she is the best teacher in the entire world for math. She always made time for her students she piad her babysitter extra all the time to help her students get ready for an exam she went out of her way and above and beyond what are expected of teachers. She was awesome!!!!!!!
She is an absolute wonderful teacher, but I did not like the way she assigned work. Theres about 50 math problems a night for homwork, and if you dont do one, you get it all wrong which i think is unfair. Way to much homework, and I dont like taking the tests out of class, because then you learn new things before you take the test, and get confused
Before I had her, I knew nothing about math, I was scared to take any college level math. BUT now, NO PROB!!! I thank her so much for all of her help and dedication to all of her classes. I couldnt ask for a better instructor! Anyone who asks me who to take for any math, I sat Witherell! Without her, i couldnt have made it!!!
great teacher, moves at a slow pace, to allow everyone to understand. very concerned for students. best math teacher at phcc. easy A
She is amazing. I have never done well in math until taking her class. She is extremely helpful and makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on to the next section. I won't take a math class unless she is the instructor.
The best math teacher i've ever had...she explains everything very clearly and if you don't understand something she will do anything she can to help. Take her.
By far the greatest proffesor that I have ever encountered. Passionate, helpful, commited... I have never met a teacher so commited to the success of each and every student. She is also a RIOT..... LOVE HER
YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS CLASS becuz she is an awesome teacher. She is small but packs alot into the class. She is entertaining, patient, helpful beyond her requirements, FUNNY(!), compassionate to students, easy to talk to and work with. Don't be afraid of her tests, as long as you do the homework!! I will use her methods in my future classrooms!
Classes were interesting. I really had a firm understanding of math after I left this class. If you really want to learn, take her! Dont think you cant do homework or not show up to class though. Will teach you the WHY behind math, not just HOW. Makes learning fun!
What can I say that hasn't already been said? If you have a hard time understanding algebra she is the teacher for you. She is passionate about the subject and her students. She wants you to do well and will do everything within her power to get you through her class successfully. Participate+Do the Homework+Ask Questions=Success. GREAT TEACHER!
The Best Teacher I Ever Had!!!!! I highly recommend that you take this teacher for all the math classes you can. If you put in the work she is willing to help you. This is not a class for slackers, but if you work at it you will do great. She keeps the classes lively and will hold your interest. Ms Witherell you are the Best!!!!!!
She is the only math teacher that has been able to get through to me.I have taken a couple courses with her and she is wonderful. She will not go on until she knows everyone understands the previous section. Don't miss class!!
Ms. Witherell is an awesome teacher! I took statistics with her last semester and this year im taking precalc with her. She does everything in her power to help you succeed in her class. Befoer her classes i didn't understand a thing about math. She definitely is one of the greatest teachers at phcc by far.
She is an amazing teacher. I am horrible at math and she is the only teacher that i actually understood. She's very energetic and her classes are always interesting. She writes all of her own notes so they are easy to understand, she doesn't just teach from the book. I HIGHLY recommend her, I wish I could have taken her for college algebra.
excellent instructor and human being. She makes learning fun and truly cares about all her students.
AMAZING! I've dreaded math my whole life, and she actually got me interested in statistics! As long as you pay attention to her you'll be fine. She's hilarious. She'll give up her own time to help you, no matter what. I would say,without a doubt, BEST TEACHER AT PHCC!!!!!!!!
Strongly doubt you will find a better teacher! Everyone loves her and her classes fill up quickly so go sign up!
You are crazy not to take Prof. Witherell. I took her class by chance for my last math class and she is the best. She absolutely makes math easier to understand. You can't dread her class, she makes learning easy.
I took her statistics class because I had attempted it twice somewhere else and dropped it both times. She is by far the best instructor that I've ever had. She not only knows her subject, but can teach it well also. She is extremely helpful, going out of her way if you need extra help. If you have to take statistics take this class !!!!
She is sooo awesome! She is very descriptive in her teaching and wants to do all she can to make sure you reach your potential! At first i was intmidated by the workload, but it was sooo worth it! She is very easygoing and goes out of her way to help in concepts you do not understand. I SOO Recommend her as a professor! I got 1 99% A!
LOVE THIS CLASS!! She is amazing at teaching numbers and a few letters :) If math is not your strongest subject TAKE this class! Her teaching style is the best I have ever seen!! I would take her class again!!! She is a very relaxed teacher, funny, and you can tell she has been teaching for a while :)The BEST!!!
She is an excellent math teacher. She is always willing to help her students. I hated stats but she always made learning fun and easy. Lots of homework and take home quizzes but it pays off during your tests. Always do your test reviews because the tests are very similiar. I made a B in the class.
I would recommend this teacher to everyone. Math has always been hard for me and this was my second time taking stats. She is always available for questions and I loved attending her classes. She involves her students and brings it to a level we can understand. Important, attend class, complete HW and quizes.
Stats & coll algebra. Best teacher ever!! So funny/cooky. I loved both her classes! It's honest work, so you gotta study and ask questions. Such a good teach, can almost guarantee a good grade. Lots of hw,only classes i knew that didnt use MyMathLab. I miss the traditional pencil/paper concept. Aced both.
Also you need to buy a calculator for either class. TI-30XA for college algebra, which is only about $20, but you can also get a TI-89 graphing calculator which is expensive (about $110), but you need it for stats so if you plan to take stats after algebra, you might as well buy it ahead of time, and not be stuck w 2 calculators after it all ends
Best teacher ever, I would never suggest taking Stats with ANY other professor if you have the choice to take her course.
Best teacher I've ever had. I hated math before I took it with her, and now I look forward to it. So helpful, even if only one student has a problem, she'll stop where she is and go over it until they understand. Also, she's hilarious! This is my 4th semester with her and am sad that I don't have any more semesters with her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Awesome teacher she made me love math and understand it!! I would recommend her to anybody!!
Awesome professor! she is nutty and makes math a lot of fun! she taught me easier faster ways to solve mathematical problems that stuck with me. I used to be horrible in math but now that i understand it, i really enjoy it and the formulas are so easy to remember.
She makes a very boring subject fun. She will make sure EVERY student in her class gets the attention and assistance they need to not only pass her class, but understand what they learned.
AMAZING!!!!! I have had for for 4 semesters. Every math subjest she taught, she did great made it VERY easy to learn!! JUST LOVE THIS TEACHER!!
ONe of my favorite teachers at PHCC. When she gets back I want to take her again.
As an adult learner returning to school after 20 years, I put off taking classes because of my poor performance in math. I read with interest how students love this instructor, and I understand why. She is a GREAT teacher! She works with you and really takes the time. She has given me the ability and confidence to continue to take math classes.
She is a great teacher. She may assign a great deal of homework, but it is for your benefit. She will sit down and try to explain things and she even responds to emails on weekends. Almost impossible to fall asleep on her. -CJD
Mrs. Witherell is a great teacher, she made math fun again. She's really funny too. She is VERY helpful and really wants you to ask questions. She also makes pencasts of the class so you watch them if you missed anything. Mrs. Witherell > than other teachers. If you do the homework and study and show up early for Q&A you will get an A.
You're not just a student number in Professor Witherell's class. She takes an interest in your progress and knows exactly where your mistakes are. She teaches the way it should be taught - with your goals and success in mind. Thank you Prof. Witherell for getting me through my math classes!
Great teacher, very helpful, very knowledgable. Word of warning if you don't have hours and hours to spend on this class don't take this professor. Ridiculous amount of HW, like 2 or 3 hours and over 100 questions per assingment. Many many HW assingments, very harsh grading.
She is the best prof. at PHCC! Hands down!! I would take her class over and over again if I could.
Be warned. If you have a loaded schedule, then the amount of homework she gives out will be too much. It is a shame because her lectures are so good, the amount of homework she gives out is way too much.
PPhenomenal teacher!! Can't be lazy. College algebra isn't fun but she made it more enjoyable. Attendance required. She is clear on due dates and all assignments. Test study questions given & if you do the aassigned work and study you will do great.
About the homework comments - yeah, there is a lot of homework BUT that is the way you practice what you learn in class. It's also the way you find out what you DIDN'T understand in class. Prof. Witherell is a dedicated and effective teacher. SHE is the reason I will have an A in this class, and got an A in College Algebra too. AWESOME TEACHER!!
Mrs Witherell is an amazing teacher. She has a passion for math. I honestly thought I was going to drop stats but she help me understand each lesson. Just do your homework its for your benefit. Highly recommend.
Do not take a many other classes with this course. Homework isn't that bad, but you need to study a lot in general to fully comprehend the subject. She is EXTREMELY helpful, pen-casts, she is there before & after class, even online, she sets up study groups for us. This teach needs a medal for caring about her students. She is always there to help.
I can't praise Ms. Witherell enough. She is tireless in her devotion to her students. She tutors before and after class; during her lunch hour and on her off time. She puts up pen casts of every lesson and went to the trouble of setting up a program so that we could have virtual class hours on the weekends. Best instructor I've ever had.
She is outstanding. She will do anything to help her students. If you're weak at math, or need improvement- take her class. She sends out a lot of e-mails, and assigns a lot of HW and take home quizzes. It is virtually impossible to do everything that she wants you to do if you have a family and work. But, without it you can easily still get an A.
I only experienced this professor via videos from MathLab and I'm afraid that I will never progress in math without her. She has an awesome knack for teaching us just what we need to know to navigate through a problem and, with the practice of repetition combined with her repeated methods, understanding and proficiency follows. I love math now.
I wasn't too sure about this hybrid class, math not being my favorite subject, but this professor is truly engaging! I have only experienced her through the MyLabsPlus videos. She teaches what you need to know, leaves out the confusing elements, but then ties it all back in at the end. I love math now because of her. Pick her!
Wonderful teacher, clear cut and always willing to help!
Hands down, the best teacher I've ever had. She went above and beyond the call of duty by setting up private tutoring sessions to group sessions. She was ALWAYS available to us to help us through what could have been a challenging course for some. I highly recommend this teacher and would take her again if given the opportunity to do so.
She is a great teacher. Just expect a Lot of homework! She gives a crazy amount of work and is an extremely hard grader. If you get one problem wrong she gives you half credit. She teaches up till the final, which sucks!! The class is extremely time consuming. She is extremely helpful and wants you to understand. I would not take her again though.
best teacher on the planet if u don't take either her or mr. wetherington, you're missing out
Professor Witherell was the best ever. Even though this class was taken online, she was quick to respond to emails and if you needed help she always stated that she was available. Math has always been my worst subject but this class was wonderful on line. The videos were clear and if you study you will pass. I would definitely take another clas
There is a simple key to passing: understand HW. Do NOT do the HW by scribbling answers. HW is only worth 5% of your grade for a reason. She GIVES you all HW answers step by step in online videos. The point is to UNDERSTAND what she's giving you. Go to class early when she's going over the how-to's of the answers. It will make all the difference.
Amazing teacher!! Can't be lazy. College algebra isn't fun but she made it more enjoyable. Attendance required. She is clear on due dates and all assignments. Test study questions given & if you do the assigned work and study you will do great.
I failed math the first time around, this was my second time around and I passed it with flying colors.
She is by far the best professor I've ever had. She explains everything and makes every attemp to make sure you learn. She cares that you are prepared. She will change your life and make you love math. She spends more time invested in the class than anyone. I couldn't respect her more than I already do. She is incredible.
A lot of HW, few tests. If you miss 1 or 2 classes in a row you will fall behind. Requires a lot of home time to watch pencasts (videos) of lessons etc. Is there for you & truly wants you to pass. Doesn't tolerate disruptions, will call you out on them. I loved her as a teacher but I struggled in her class, I would highly recommend her though!
Witherell posts class lectures online, she stays before & after class, has office hours, & hosts online meetings on weekends. If you don't pass this class it's because you did not try. A lot of effort is required, but Witherell is there every step of the way, do what she tells you to do and you will be successful, GUARANTEED! Best Math Prof Ever.
If you suck at math, this is the teacher for you! I was online, but for this math class that's ok. She explains everything so clearly there's no way you won't understand. There's a good amount of homework, but due dates are spaced a few weeks apart. 3 chances for every test. This is great if you're not amazing at math, but good at critical thinking
Bruh Ms. Witherell is the BEST A++++++
I was scared taking this course and i should be but she was amazing . I took this online and was blown away by the information i received for an online course. All the information you need supplied and if you still don't get it she is right there for you. Above and beyond what i was expecting!
Amazing She can teach the unteachable She wants you to succeed Your success is her success in being an effective teacher Goes above and beyond Do all homework go in early to review ask questions and attend class She is very aware of who works hard in her class Not only teaches but helps you understand the material.
Best Math teacher you will ever have. I highly recommend, she will help you every way she can. Make sure you show up to class or you will miss a lot of the material. Make math super funny and enjoyable!
Really loves what she does and wants you to succeed.
Professor Witherell is amazing! She is very helpful in answering any questions you may have. She will go through a problem in class as many times as needed to make sure you really understand it. She also comes 30 min early to each class to answer any questions. She is very funny! That makes class interesting. Would definitely take her again!
One amazing teacher!! Math is not one of my strong points but she truly makes Statistics easy to learn!! One of the best teachers that I have ever had!!
One of the best teachers ive ever had! Highly recommend! I was scared to take stats, but she made it my favorite class to go to!
TAKE HER CLASS! THERE ARE NO OPTIONS THAT COME CLOSE! BEST TEACHER BY FAR. Extremely helpful, gives study guides, very passionate about what she does and want you to learn. Wish she could teach all my math classes.
This was my very first online class and was my first time enjoying math. She wants you to pass and will do anything to help. If you email her with any questions she will respond with good feedback either in a few minutes or hour. Of course there is HW, Quizzes and Tests but she makes them easy. I struggle with math and Pathways was a great class.
Ms. Witherell is the only math teacher I have had in my entire school career that makes math not suck. She makes everything as simple as possible so her students can grasp what she is teaching. She is always available when her students need help with a subject.
Great teacher. Very enthusiastic about math. Has lots of office hours if you have any questions. Fair grader. Solid.
Awesome Teacher
Yes yes yes!! Ms Witherell is the freaking bomb!!! I hate math but she helped me through all my classes, online or on campus she is the best option!!
Ms Witherell is by far the best teacher I ever had.
Maria Witherell is a such a great teacher! She explains everything so well, and she really cares about her students. She does everything she can to help you not only pass, but excel! You just have to do your part by doing the work. And yes, she is hilarious!
Professor Witherell is, by far, the best math professor I have ever had. She goes out of her way to make sure she is available before and after class for feedback.
Hands down best Math teacher ever.
Super CARING! Her tests and homework assignments are stress-heavy if you don't study properly. Ask her questions! I've taken two classes with her (Pathways to Math and Liberal Arts) and got a B+ in both classes (math is my worst subject). Definitely recommend her! Math certainly isn't a walk in the park, but she helped me understand the material :)
She is a fantastic teacher! I definitely recommend taking her!
If Stats is required, then u have to do it, and I wouldn't do it with anyone else. Yesss u need the book, u have to be there, + lots of homework, how else u gna pass? buttt she will help u, she teaches in a way that most can understand. She cares that u pass, but u have to put in the work too! She is incredible, best math teacher EVER!!!
Ms. Witherell was the BEST teacher I have ever had in my life. She is in control of her subject, and has a sense of humor at the same time. She gives her own time before each class in case you have any questions. She makes Math AMAZING!
Shes's an AMAZING teacher! Her enthusiasm about her class is conveyed to every student. Very interesting and I always learn a lot in her class! So much homework, but it really helps to understand the concepts.
She is by far the BEST professor I have ever had & she genuinely cares about her students success. However if you aren't going to do the work don't waste your time. She gives you the grade you deserve, she makes herself accessible whenever you need her; before class, after & even weekends. There is a lot of homework but it is truly for your benefit
I passed the class with a 92. Do all the work, show up to class, and just generally try in her class and you'll be good. She will help you in any way she can within reason and she grades fairly. She did offer a few points of extra credit throughout the semester as well.
She was an amazing teacher! Most math classes I've taken I have gotten a C, but with her, I got a 90! Her love for math really helps I believe. She made the class laugh multiple times every lecture! There is a lot of homework, but the way she does it really helps you understand the material. Best teacher I've ever had.
Great teacher. Makes class fun and interacts with everyone. Have to do the work to get the grade but she will help you. I would definitely take her classes again. Willing to help before and after class.
Absolutely the best teacher to have to math if you are just getting back into college after a long break. She records all her lectures and posts them for you to follow along with if you need help with homework.
