Excellent professor!!! Just three tests, a final and two projects. Be on class all the times, because she is explaining so well the theory needed for homework.
Professor Marianna put so much effort to help you learn everything. All high school I was terrible at math, but I really enjoyed learning from her and I can tell that I filled up many math gaps I had. Take her if you have the chance!
Do not take this teacher unless you love doing loads of homework, and want to be treated like an idiot. She snaps at you if you ask any questions about the lecture. Also does not ask if anyone needs help. Also she does not post any grades until the end of the semester.
Overall, she is an amazing teacher. She is very considerate and always offer helps to students. She talks in a very soft tone and I almost never seen her get mad. Lots of credit during test and homework. Review before test. I dont think I can find another math teacher that as caring as her. I can understand all of her lectures. I love her!
Do not buy any textbook because she has her own course, and she gave the students the printed course. Also, everything is posted online on BB. Give very detailed and clear lectures with multiples examples, and is grading faster. She is amazing and I strongly recommend her!
To be honest, I took professor Durgheu knowing my low math skills. SHE IS AWESOME AND I ROCKED in her class. If you want to learn, for sure, you will learn from her! Be on class , because at the beginning of the class she is giving the students her printed notes. Also, do the homework on time and do the mock exams, and you will do very well!
Professor Durgeu is one of a kind. She explains all with so much common sense then it is impossible to forget. 4 tests, 1 final test and one project. Love her real world applications introduced in the class and her mock exams.
She is incredibly caring and she wants every student to succeed, but you need to willing to do your part. Four tests and a final test, with extra credit on each. Available on the office hours for extra helping. Highly recommend her!
If you want to be prepared for your next math and physics classes, then she is the right choice. Very clear lectures, explanations and what to study. Overall, an excellent course!
Study the mock exam and make an A. Super easy extra credit. Easiest class ever.
Professor Marianna is the best professor I have taken. Her exams are a little bit tricky, but because she teaches very well she prepares you for the exams. No need to buy the textbook, just use her notes, the mock exams and do the homework.
A really gifted teacher! She explains everything so well, then you cannot get lost. This is not an easy class, if you don't work or doing your part. Loved her extra credit problems, harder problems, from each exam. Personally, I will take her again for all my math classes.
I got really overwhelmed by all the homework she would gives us and it would be hard for me to understand her lectures during class time due to her accent and having her back against us while teaching to write on the board at the same time. I was scared to fail this class but luckily I passed it enough
Great professor, took her for summer and it was so great. Homework on MML, four tests, one awesome project and an optional final test. Take the final, because you may increase your grade. Very good course notes are provided, then do not buy the textbook. Do the homework because you will have similar tests' problems.
Very encouraging and inspirational! Just four tests and homework on MML. Do the homework, because the tests problems are from the homework. Also, attempt to do the extra credit problems! A good course!
This class was not as easy as the rates given to her on here say so. Aside from how thick her accent is, she doesn't know how to properly teach. She expects you to know how to work every problem and makes you feel dumb if you ask a question. The only way you can pass this class is if you are already pretty decent at math.
Mariana Durgheu is a great professor, only if you work with her. Don't skip class as she gives out plenty of extra credit during lectures. Although she does have a thick accent, she will sit with you during office hours to work a problem out. If you do the mock exams and make your formula sheets, you can definitely do well in this class.
Fantastic class and the best professor I had in Lee College! Focus on her personal course notes, the examples given in the class and do the Mock Exams, and you will rock. Also, there is an amazing project! I cannot wait to take all future classes with her!
She's a great asset to Lee College, highly recommend her, shes passionate about Math and really cares about her students. We have homeworks due every week, and she gives test reviews for the tests. The tests are usually about 12 questions with 2-3 bonus questions. I highly recommend her over any other math professor in this campus
I took this course for the second time to improve my grade, but this course was far superior comparing with the other, and more, more deep. Be present on the class, because calculus become so easy if you pay attention on her lectures! Good examples and good course notes provided. Do all you are asked, and you will do very well in this class.
AVOID!! She is VERY difficult to understand. If you don't know how to do Math she sends you to the Math Lab where they aren't helpful. Not very approachable. She goes so fast that it is difficult to keep up. Only way you should take this professor is if you are already decent at math. If not, take somebody else!
She is simply the the best and carrying math teacher in Lee College! If Calculus 3 counts toward your future career, enroll in her class because you will learn a lot!
The best math class I ever took! Do not skip her classes because she is very well prepared for the class and you will learn from her. Do not buy the textbook because she provides notes, buy just the web assign access for homework.
I took this class online and I was very afraid of taking an online course until now, but with all notes and videos provided in Black Board and the MML homework I rocked. Take this class very seriously, because is not a joke, and do the assignments on time.
I have no idea how there are ANY decent reviews for Prof. Durgheu. The structure of the class is an embarrassment. The homework is split between Math Lab & "course notes" which require you to print and then scan in 30-50 pages every couple of weeks. The lectures are unintelligible because of her accent, and I can confirm she is rude when asked Q's
The way the class is set up not just for her Algebra class but others as well is overwhelming. Every week have to do over twenty pages of homework packets and she does not explain that well. Class is okay it just heavy amounts of content and difficult to navigate the way she sets up the class.
RIDICULOUS amount of work. I have no clue how this prof has any good reviews. Absolutely horrible. If youre going to take this class, make sure you arent taking any others because it will consume you. Do yourself a favor DONT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER. It is entry level college algebra and she treats it like its a Harvard class on brain surgery.
Great Professor, with only 4 tests and 2 projects every thing was fair in this class.
It was a satisfying course. As long as you do your homework, you will pass because exam is based on the homework. If you want to get a high score, then you might need to study a little bit extra as the professor mostly focuses on problem-solving. So, if you want to know in-depth content, you need to study by yourself.
Professor Durgheu is the best math professor you will ever run across with. I had the pleasure of taking most of her math classes, and she is one of the very few teachers that care both about the subject and her students. Calculus is tough, but she will make sure you get the material and is always available for any questions, hard work will pay off
Tough, but teaches it well for the most part. You'll do okay as long as you pay attention during lectures.
She is really good, I am not just saying that for no reason. I genuinely learned a lot in her class, if you actually put in the effort and pay attention, you will get a good grade in this class. Overall, I do think she is a good teacher.
Great teacher, caring, and always considered our feedbacks. took it online and it wasn't hard at all. loved how she cared about students. take it !!!
She's a great professor for answering any questions asap if it's about her upcoming assignments, projects, exams, or the overall course itself. Her lectures are recorded and give out the best explanation!. Even has her own lecture notes that you can follow through as well! Always PAY ATTENTION to not miss out on any info during her stream!
Great Professor!
Be sure to complete all assignments, every grade will help your overall average. She has very detailed lectures and notes, very responsive to any questions and has a TA available also. I took her class online and there were no surprises. Everything is listed in the syllabus. Her tests are somewhat difficult, so take the mock tests multiple times.
Very tough class, but she is informative and breaks down the questions very well. Cal 3 is not an easy class, and shouldn't be taken lightly, but this professor does give great examples. Although, some of the test questions get tough due to being different from the practice questions given.
There are extra credit opportunities for every test, which helps a lot. Also, the program where the homework is done has a built-in help system where it shows you how to work each problem. For each section, there is a lecture provided and notes; as a result, the textbook isn't really needed.
Class was good even online. She is extremely forgiving on missed test questions and makes sure to give lots of partial credit.
Not sure if it was may fault, but the material was hard to understand and I ended up teaching myself most of the material.
The class is tough if you don't listen to lectures and practice more math problems. But she is a good teacher she answers questions and gives a ton of examples.
If you want to be challenged and learn how to solve problems multiple of ways then this class is for you. Some chapters require more homework then others. This professor was always on time, well written notes and takes the time out to go over problems. I will take her for every math class I take for now on.
Great teacher. Gives a fair amount of homework and is available for questions in or out of class.
Passionate about the material. Would recommend. As long as you do the work you shouldn't have trouble in this class. Very helpful and available for questions during and outside of class. I've been having this professor for all of my math courses since I started going here. You won't be disappointed.
Professor Durgheu is a great instructor, and perhaps one of the best at Lee. She is incredibly knowledgeable and understanding. She was also lenient with homework due dates, and gave many opportunities to ask questions. I would recommend her to anyone needing to take Calculus here at Lee. Difficult course, but she made it manageable.
She's one of the most involving professors I've ever had at Lee. Although I consider her to be a math genius, professor Durgheu is very humble and will take the time to help you understand the most foundational parts of a problem when you're struggling. Her classes are a lot of work, but she truly wants her students to succeed.
This is my second time taking Professor Durgheu. I took her for Pre-Cal and Calculus 2. You must work for your grade. What I do love about her style of teaching is that she gives students many opportunities to ask questions during lecture. She is easy to get in contact with outside of class as well. I am going to re-take her for Calculus 3.
The class is a lot of work but Professor Durgheu provides all the materials you need to succeed. She also is in constant communication with the class, and gives opportunities for extra credit.
Tough grader, lectures are heavy, a lot of work come prepared you will fall behind if you miss class.
Dont fall behind on work
The biggest problem was the test. Her reviews were pretty vague on what was going to be on it. The reviews provided very little practice and therefore had very little use. Exams were completely up to you and they were nothing as expected from the given information. The amount of homework was ok but the very decent lectures made it hard.
Hands down professor Durgheu is the best Math professor I have had. She is understanding and her lectures are very easy to follow even if you are not good at math. I feel like she really cares about students and wants us to do well. The best quality a professor can have is empathy and she has in abundance. Do not give up, ask for help. She cares.
Any time I needed to contact her, she responded in time. She was always quick to help and was extremely understanding of any situation. I wish I could take differential equations and linear algebra with her, but unfortunately, the classes wont make. Im certainly going to miss her
Good help outside of class
good teacher, be sure to do all your assignments on time.
Great teacher! Just do your work on time, never wait until last minute because everything will pile up!!!
I am an international student and a freshman. You can understand how difficult it was for me to start my first semester in college during COVID. She made everything sound easy even though I am not great at Math. Her lectures were very easy to follow and I used her notes to study for the exam. I feel way more proficient in Math now.
You really work for your grade in this class. Stay on top of every assignment.
Ms. Durgheu is very serious about preparing course materials. Working through the assignments and exams, I got solid math training. Ms. Durgheu is reachable by email almost 24/7, I always get detailed and undertandable answers regarding my coursework questions.
Very hard, Need to be able to have notes on test.
Professor Durgheu is an amazing instructor. She teaches from theory which helps students understand why a formula or method is used and what the applications are in real-life situations. 10/10 would recommend!!
Professor Durgheu is always available to answer any questions you might have. She provided lectures that were easy to along with the notes she provided. Overall the course was easy. It is a time-consuming course and there is a lot of homework on MML.
Very good class, Very Diffucult if you get behind.
a lot of notes & hw, but its an easy class
Very understandable and helped me out while I was struggling with the class. 10/10.
The grade is based on 4 exams, 2 projects, and Webassign homework. The exams are easier than the Webassign. The project is the best thing since it makes the course not only restricted around exams and homework. She also creates many chances for students to gain extra credits. The only problem is just her accent. Do well in WA and you'll be good.
This is a very challenging class if you aren't too good at math! Stay on top of your work to pass. Understanding and allowed me to complete assignments after they were due, because of my situation.
Absolute worse class I have ever taken. Not reachable, "office hours" are 30 min. Expects us to remember every math equation we've ever done from high school, doesn't give clear explanations for anything. Does examples on lecture videos, then gives us the harder ones to do on our own when we have no idea where to even begin. -100/10 . Never again.
Took her 1350 online class. Notes she posts are not helpful and don't have alot of examples. I have to use examples from homework for better understanding. When taking exams make sure your cam works otherwise you will be kicked out of test regardless the situation. Which at times it's not fair if not your fault. Had trouble understanding her speak.
Cover all her video lectures, with NO SKIPS, and you will do very well on homework and exams. Do not skip the theory and formulas, because you need to understand how to do the problems! Be aware all exams are proctored and no cheating is possible.
This was the best online course I ever had! You have access in the course of all materials needed to succeed in this course. I received so much help from Ms. Durgheu during the office hours and I will take her on all my future courses. Do not fail behind, do all in time and you will rock in the course!
It was so difficult I couldn't understand her accent and my math lab was better at explaining rather than her lectures. It was very difficult and I had to drop the class because i was sure i was not going to score a c with this teacher. Also she showed her video lectures in class. Definitely not the best teacher out there.
Do your work and you will succeed! Don't expect to do nothing in this class. You have to work to pass! Overall great class and great professor!
It was a good semester and I learned a lot.
Great professor! Worked well with me despite me not taking a math course in 8yrs. Really understood me and pointed me in the right direction to achieve my goals
She is a great professor that cares about her students success. She will spend time explaining things in class and out of class if needed if you do not understand. She is very clear in grading and does her best to prepare you for the exams and material. She also gave students a lot of good information career wise.
Calculus is obviously not easy but she makes it doable. She is more than willing to help and spends time with you if needed. This class was a late class and she would make time to talk to us even after class. Grading criteria and expectations are very clear and she genuinely wants her students to succeed.
Professor Durgheu was a good professor, she cares about her students. "Practice makes perfect", and I think she was one of the professors that reinforced this the most. She used webassign for homework and she always tried to go a step beyond to help her students.She gave 4 exams giving me a better chance to bring my grade up when scoring low in one
The best math course I took in Lee College. I strongly recommend Ms. Durgheu because you will learn a lot from her and she is available 24/7 to help you with the homework or other issues you may have with the course. Excellent!
I took Professor Durgheu for my calculus 1 class, and I cannot express in words my gratitude to her! The notes, videos, homework and mock exams are posted in BB at the beginning of the course, and you can work at your own pace. The notes are detailed and if there are any other questions, you can easily contact her through email or Webex. The BEST!
As an incoming freshman student, I was terrified of Calculus due to all the things I'd heard regarding it. However, Dr. Durgheu was able to ease away my worries thanks to her amazing teaching style. The class was difficult at times but not impossible. She genuinely cared about her students and was great overall!
Good person just cannot understand. Like not even being rude, she has trouble clearly pronouncing words which affects my learning a little bit.
Professor Durgheu is fantastic! Calculus is not simple, and you will have to work hard to get it done. Professor Durgheu has helped me to achieve a true understanding of the concepts and applications of calculus. This course is not easy, especially if you miss class, but with a strong work ethic, Professor Durgheu helps you succeed.
Ms. Durgheu is the best College Algebra teacher I could have asked for. I entered this class very nervous, especially as I had struggled with middle and high school level math the semester before. Ms. Durgheu was very efficient, polite, and timely. Her lectures were very to the point and material was manageable.
She's such a wonderful professor! Definitely, take her for any Math course you need that she teaches. She relies more on lectures with clear explanations and plenty of examples. Do the homework and the mock exams and you will do well on the exams!
She made the only 2 tests worth 50% of your grade...She makes you do quizzes that aren't even close to the examples she goes over. SO much hw due every Friday and because it's all using honorlock, you can't even use your own calculator...My Calc 1 teacher let me use my TI-nspire CX II during the tests, so what is the difference here...
She is an amazing professor if you take the time to stay back for her to guide you through HW she will help you! she is super kind, yes there is a lot of hw, and mock exams. You just have to stay of top of those things you only have a few days to complete the hw. As long as you dont give up and talk to her about your questions you will be fine!
Several homework assignments each week, and the exams are worth most of your grade. There are a total of 4 exams and the exams are about 10-15 questions so it's easy to fail. On top of that the exams are no multiple-choice questions you just have to do the work. She is fast-paced and has a thick accent. It is difficult to understand her. DON'T TAKE
Professor Durgheu is a great professor, but her class is very difficult. Some key things to note before taking her class, she will take points off if you do not show work, or you're missing work on a problem so mental math is a no. Formula sheets aren't provided on exams you'll have to make your own. No calculators, and Honorlock is enforced.
I took her for a hybrid class, and it was very difficult. Her accent is hard to understand and she's very fast paced. Here's how to pass her class: Don't focus on getting the problems right, focus on writing formulas. She doesn't really grade by problems that are correct. Also, at the end there's a very easy group project.
Professor Durgheu was a fantastic online professor for my summer session. She responded to emails very quickly and was always open to questions about any topic.The course content was very organized, and you could see when every single assignment was due throughout the duration of the course. If you need to take 1324 over the summer do it with her!
I'm taking her this semester; She gives a lot of homework. Her in-class lectures are so different from our homework assignments. Her in-class examples are, for the most part, ok, but her homework is so hard it's not even funny. She only gives out 2 exams, and we have a quiz basically every week, so there's A LOT of pressure on me. She is nice tho.
