I have no idea what everyone is talking about. I took her class. I think she goes over everything way too fast. No one even got a chance to ask questions.

She seems nice but can make sharp remarks. Her online class is really hard if you are not good in math.

Her lectures are very clear and easy to understand. If you don't understand something she will help you out. She makes class somewhat fun, as fun as a math class can get. Her class is really easy. Just go to class and stay on top of hw and quiz's. You get up to 10 points extra credit per test if you take the practice test. Easy A

She is an amazing teacher. She takes the time to truly teach her students each lesson! She has patience, and she wants to be there! The best math teacher I've ever had.

I took her for 1310 Fall Semester 2012 - 2013 year. She's really easy and as long as you just go to her class, you should get at least a 90. Poppers required. Homework due the day after every class. Tests are almost exactly the same as the review.

Algebra. Super easy. She's clear about what she expects. Lots of little grades, but they make it easy to get an A. She moves fast in class, but always answers questions. Really nice. No complaints at all. I'd recommend her!

Prof. Marks is the best math teacher I have ever had, hands down. She explains everything in a clear, consise manner. I took this class online and there is a lot of work. The tests are not hard, she doesn't try to trick you. If you take the class online, I'd suggest doing as many as the online meetings as possible,.

Very efficient prof w/ a funny sense of humor. Great at explaining the material & is receptive to questions. She's also available at CASA for extra help. Math & I don't tango but she made it really understandable & doable. Attendance is mandatory & can be detrimental if you miss class. Highly recommend her for any math subject.

I've had better and worse prof's. She was rushed every class and exp'd alot of technical problems. Explained work decently. Work was fairly easy if you're good at algebra. Poppers everyday, 25 HW and 14+ quizzes with 4 or 5 tests. 80+ GPA exempts you from cumulative final, but final will replace lowest test score.

Really clear and consistent. I hate math and I normally don't get anything but she made this a breeze. The online chat can be distracting and also made me weary to ask questions, but it was my only option to take it online. Online practice test was exactly like the tests. Final is cumulative and there are no exemptions. But super easy, take this.
