Best math teacher. Very easy to understand. If you think math is hard, she will change your mind.
For the first time in my life I understand math. Plus she takes the time to explain difficult equations & problems. Take her class - you'll be glad you did.
Excellant for her position. The class is filled with a majority of peoples who have no interest or future in mathematics.These students have to pass this course, though, for completion of RN nursing or teaching type degrees.Iknow sheisan math prof.in
EXCELLENT TEACHER!!!!!!
Marta is a very good teacher. She is very friendly and helpful. She explains the material with great clarity. This course was a real pleasure!
Remarkable professor. She is gifted in her field as well as having the ability to communicate what she knows to the student population.
Born to teach math. Truman is very lucky to have this professor because her genius is worthy of an Ivy League school. Funny too!
She's great and always willing to help. Just do your best and go to her for help and she'll do everytning to make sure you understand. She is one of the best math teacher I've had.
BEST BEST BEST teacher ever ever! super caring and understanding, explains stuff untill we all know the material well enough, never gives up on her students, gives us enough practice and fun math activities. Professor H was born to teach. Shes awesome!!!
She is and awwwsum teacher tuff, but gives good explanation about every question you ask till you understand it. I use to HATE math before i took a class with her now I LOVE math..
Best math teacher I've ever had. Material incredibly well organized and well presented. Great personality and will go completely out of her way to help students. Not easy, but definitely worth it.
Nightmare of an instructor first day of class said that the people who wrote this book should be shot. Droped her class because she was insane.
marta is a wonderful teacher, she is one of the few who actually cares about her students. its ridiculuos how much work she puts into her class! very enthusiastic and passionate about teaching. she always makes herself availabe and explains everything until its understood. also very understanding. DO NOT BE LATE TO HER CLASS.
Her classes are amazingly awesome. She has a unique approach to teaching math concepts that works insanely well. She's eccentric but it's channeled into her lesson plan making the class a great experience. Create your schedule around her classes if you have to.
this is the best math teacher ive ever had in my life i would take her for every class in truman she explains good very clear her class is very intresting ive never had a 230 mins class n didnt get bored but her class. i think u should take her because she is the best teacher
Marta is a wonderful math teacher. She is patience with students and clear in her lessons and material. She is one of the few teachers who wants to make sure you understand the material and goes out of her way with providing sample quizes, practice problems, extra credit problems and explanations to all homework, quiz,and tests. Loved Her!
Marta is by far one of the best teachers I have ever taken. She was excellent in her explanations. If you don't understand the material, she will go out of her way to make sure that you get it! Excellent teacher! I highly, highly recomend her.
Mrs. H is an absolutly fantastic professor! If anyone is intrested in learning anything about math this professor could not be more highly recomended. I have never taken a math class with an instructor that was as passionate and interesting. The subject matter can be tough sometimes but she makes the material very clear and easy to understand.
If you have to take Math,this is the teacher for you.Marta is the most hard-working person I have seen at Truman and truly knows what she is doing.She made me change my mind about Math and now I honestly like it!She is demanding, but then how else are going to learn?Very dedicated and very nice too!
She is the greatest teacher you'll meet in your life. I wasn't so great at math until I took her. She helped me get and A+ on every hw, quiz, exam, midterm, final. It's not hard to keep up with her if u pay attention and try.
Love this instructor. Took two classes from her and I started to love math. I've always hated math but she made it really easy for me to understand. If you do your homework, study for the quizes and test you will do great in the class. But you have to be willing to work for your grade.
a fantastic teacher. extremely patient, and willing to go the extra mile.
She is the best. A perl in Truman.
She is Fantastic, if you can't learn in her class, you are not putting forth effort.
Folks, Ms. Hidegkuti is a fantastic teacher. Love her. Check this out... Sometimes she may give you some FUN Math Puzzels... My favorite one is: she gave an equation for us to solve and draw the graph... after drawing that graph the image appears to be a HEART. I won my girlfriend's heart using this formula... Mrs. H, thank you, you're fantastic!
Nice and helpful. take it.
Wow, Marta is an amazing teacher. She's great at explaining things and really makes sure you understand everything before moving on. She's brilliant and eccentric and hilarious also. I don't really need to take another math class after 118, which I am in now, but she makes me want to study more math because I actually understand what she teaches.
Amazing teacher. I've always loved math but I've always had a difficult time learning things along with the class because I have Aspergers and spoken instructions and directions leave me baffled, but somehow, she makes learning easy. There is a lot of repetition of concepts and that helps a lot, I think. I would recommend her to anybody .
Ms. H makes learning easy and fun. I've always struggled with math, and for the first time in my life, i'm succeeding and understanding the material. I HIGHLY recommend any class this woman teaches. She is truly amazing. Definitely a diamond in the rough at Truman College!
I don't know how to write a comment for this professor because most students wrote she was a good professor.In my opinion,she doesn't know how to teach math to make the students understand her lecture.there are 32 students in her class,but after the midterm still have 13 people left.Trust me you won't understand someth lectures in her class.
I agree with the comment below. First of all this teacher only favors the students that do well in math. If you ask something, she will answer your questions only if it?s interesting for her. People are afraid to ask questions because of her response. Sometimes, if you ask a question she will explain by giving you another more advanced example. One
Had her for Cal,majority of students left at end of semester had previously had Cal, and were actually disrupting to us who never touched on it at all. This majority thought she was brilliant, all others were lost. Lack of text use a major fault
If you attend the classes and do the homework you will have no problem. Marta is an excellent teacher. She requires that your questions be direct- just saying I don't get it- doesn't fly.She will go out of her way to re-explaine something but will need your active participation in helping her understand where you are having trouble. She teaches.
I took math 99 and calculus with her. Prior to taking her classes I struggled with, and hated math. Marta's style, energy, passion, and dedication to her students left me with an understanding of math I didn't know was possible. I even left calculus seeing beauty in math. I highly recommend her. Truman is extremely lucky to have her.
207 is completely different than 204, that is why it has an IAI compatibility. Ill admit though that she is good with those less apt for Math
Hardest teacher I have ever had. Way too much homework! That said, she was able to explain math in a way I know I will remember forever. Thorough and passionate about teaching. Sometimes moves too fast in class. Extensive notes are recommended. Do all the homework if you expect to keep up.
Marta is the best math teacher I have ever had. She helped me build the confindence I needed to complete her class and pursue a career in the sciences. She is a passionate and helpful professor. If you take her class, respect her, go to class, take notes, and dont screw around. If you do not go and do not take notes you will not succeed.
She is very very helful and very tests are very very easy. Easy grader..........
Great teacher. Highly recommend her if Math is not your strongest subject.
Her Precalculus class has a lower passing rate than Calculus. She is a better than average professor. The major problem students have with her is with clarity. She urges students to study a lot. She only allows scientific calculators.
Marta is one of the most inspiring and interesting teachers I have had. If I could, I would take her for every class that I have. Her exams are throurough, and if you do the work, she will answer any questions you have. She doesn't like answering questions from people who don't pay attention. She in amazing and you should take her.
She is good at all, but if you have any question from her she just says I'll ans after the class . She gave us handouts wich are very useful. but it doen't mean that she gave same questions on quizes and exams.you have to study hard if you want to get a good grade . she might help you to pass this course if you get D. but it depends on you.
Marta was a joy to learn from. She was very helpful, even responding quickly to off-hour email questions. She is always eager to help out with any questions you have, so long as you put in the time and effort in your work. I would definitely recommend taking her classes.
Not organized professor. many questions on her tests never excersized. worst teacher.doesn't use the book which i don't like it.Do not take this professor strongly recomended
Great teacher. I have taken many math classes and never enjoyed any untill now. She explains "why" and puts real life examples into the lectures and that makes math seem fun. You do have to work but its worth it...Even if your not into mathematics you will learn something about life!
Highly recommended!!!..:)
marta is the best prof in the school ,she always engaged to help the students to know the expected material ,if u want to get a gud grade"A" in calc she is highly recommended !
A great teacher
Didn't like the class and prof. By the end of the semester only 12 students out of 35 left. Students were affraid to ask the question because she always got mad.
she is really hard. Honestly i don't like her class, but she was really helpful.i passed my course,but i had really hard time. forget about a good grade if you are taking math143 with her!!!!
Best teacher ever! I took her for 207 last year and I wish she taught 208 and 209. Highly recommended!
martha is the best. she takes her time to explain any question you have expecially during office hours. her notes are more explanatory than text. her homeworks are very helpful for tests and exams. highly recommended.
She is the best math teacher ever. Me and all of my cousins took classes with her. she is the best math teacher at truman college. She is really smart and nice. You will learn a lot if you take you class with her.
She is the best pro. ever!!!!! I felt the smartest person on earth in her class. very organized and helpful. She always willing to help if you study and follow her handouts. you don't need the book. Her exams from the handouts so just focus on the handouts =D
Can't believe that Marta has some bad reviews here. If some students expect good grades without putting any effort it's only their problem. She is a great teacher, very helpful and explains everything very well. I would recommend to take classes with her to everybody.
I have been fortunate to find a professor like Prof.Hidegkuti at Truman college. She is super organized and clear on lectures.I missed few topics in my Math-207 as I migrated from Nepal to US, but as I am about to complete Cal-II with Prof. Hidegkuti,I have all the knowledge from Math-208 and my missed Math-207.Tip:practice lecture notes b4 book.
best maths professor so far in truman..had an A in her class....she explains from the scratch(pre-algebra,algebra). you need to master her reviews and handouts before quizzes and exams...(guys guys guyss)
I really like her classes. The best teacher ever! She didn't force you to buy a textbook, she gives you a lot of handouts and online work. She is brilliant.
Really really good. My guess is people that had a negative experience did not attempt to communicate with her.
Highly recommend prof Hidegkuti. One of the best professors at Harry S. Truman. If you study her hand-outs and her quiz reviews, you are guaranteed to have a high grade in this course.
I loved Ms. H! She is dedicated to her subject and really puts in the time and the effort. I was really rusty when I started with her and now I can use all that she taught me throught my career.
Ms. H is an awesome teacher! If you are a hard worker and dedicated to learning you will get a good grade.
Although mathematics was not easy for me, Ms. H is a great teacher, helpful person and dedicate to her job. being in her class, I have learned so much. Math is fun!!!!
Great Professor! Very passionate about math. This is not an "easy A" if that is what you're looking for but if you are hardworking and want quality teaching, I highly recommend her!
Ms. H is the best professor I've ever met. She is a detail oriented, dedicated, organized person who knows how to teach. If you are eager to learn math, she is the right professor you should take class with.
I love love love her! She knows her material. She is very organized and everything is detailed and precise. Having trouble after lecture? She's always available. Need more help? She has her own website with detailed handouts/sample problems. She's very understanding and one of the best to teach something she's passionate about!
I think this is the best professor to take math 143 with. she also has her own website. you can google search here name to check the website.
Great and wonderful teacher. Best math teacher in Truman. However her teachings may get too overwhelming and so are her exams. But if you are a smart student and studies diligently, you'll be fine.
I'm gonna be honest, Ms. H's classes are difficult. Atleast for an average student like me, it is. However, Ms. H is a great and wonderful teacher. She knows math very well and you'll learn a lot from her. Her handouts and website is also very very helpful.
Marta is a genius. She doesn't require students to purchase a textbook, because everything she has written by herself is more clear cut than any math textbook I have ever encountered in my life. You have to be willing to work for the grade, and work hard, but she will always be there for you. If you love math, this is your class!
Hidegkuti is an awesome professor, almost too patient for her own good, and is very helpful. She has her own website and always makes the lesson goals clear cut.
doesn't explain the topic well she expect her students to know the subject. when asking questions she tells students to go to the math center, she's not there for students who need help, no book needed, and half the class dropped within a month.
Professor H is an absolutely fantastic teacher. She is a TRUE mathematician, teaching her students to actually understand what they're doing. Even after 7 years at various schools before Truman, I can confidently say she is one of the most brilliant professors I've encountered. Don't miss classes & do the worksheets after each class.
Prof. H is amazing!!! She is very organized and her lectures are very well done. She is very approachable and always ready to help. One of my all time favorite professors ever! Highly recommended!
She's there for you and easy to approach, but she's very fond of online material; and her reluctance to visit past class-material makes her class rather hard to manage if you're full-time. I recommend regular Math Center trips and appointments with her to assist you if you're struggling.
She does her best to explain everything clearly.
She is innovative in her approach and gathers resources from all over the internet in order to cover the material thoroughly. The class requires a lot of time and dedication but is especially challenging with Marta because she is she wants to prepare you for the next level.
I must confess Professor H. is a genius. I didn't stick around long enough in her class. She is strict and expects you to remember pre- reqs or you are screwed. Class was crazy and accelerated, It couldn't catch up. Finally dropped it like a hot potato. If you're bad at Math don't smell her class threshold or you'll regret it.
If you really want to learn math, take Marta. If you're hoping to get away without working or coming to class, take someone else. Marta has high expectations for students, and she will work side by side with you to help you meet those expectations. She is tough but fair. If you work hard in her class, you will do well in calculus classes.
She is the best math teacher. Must take her for Math 143. She does not recommend textbook
She explains materials so fast and expects everyone to know what she is explaining. Quizzes are hard and she gives it at the end of the lectures. She is the most rude professor i've ever seen because she wouldn't help students when they ask her a question and would get mad at them. I DON'T RECOMMEND HER.
She made me love math. Her passion for math really made me enjoy the course and she was always available to help her students. She also makes her own worksheets and has her own website which was fantastic! If you really try hard she will help you.
This professor is one of the best that you can get at Truman. If you want to learn math, this is a good place to be. She is very consistent and organized. I took 207 and 208.. Math can be learned only through hard work, so she will provide you with very good handouts, courses and homework. Good luck! TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!!
She teaches math very well and you can tell she enjoys it very much. The only thing I didn't like about her is that, if you ask her questions, she gets mad. But other than that, there's nothing else to say because she teaches well.
Hate her!!!! She gives a lot of work!! She thinks that you don't have life!!! Her exams are so hard, you should do all your time her math!!!! I don't have time for other subjects, family because all my time I'm doing math math math!!!! Even tutors don't know how to solve her exam reviews or HW!!!! If you want don't have time for life take her!!!!
She gives a lot of quizzes, but it will pay off.
She is an amazing teacher than really knows how to make difficult material easy to learn. She not only teaches HOW to do math work but WHY you are doing it the way you're suppose to. By far the best math professor I have had for Math. My only regret is not finding this professor sooner.
This professor was easy going in the beginning of the semester and then after two weeks the lectures were unorganized. There are handouts available on her websites but those were not organized either. For a 10-15 question quiz you are given three pages worth of review. Do not take this class.
The best Math professor you will ever find. She will make you work hard for a grade, but if you are willing to put in the effort, you will not only pass her class, but you will also be ready for the next level. she is super dedicated and helpful. Prof H simply is a Math genius. if you wanna learn math, her class is where you need to be.
Ms. H is by far the most fun math teacher I've ever had. She gives a damn about the way math is taught, and is easily one of the most mathematically adept and clever teachers Truman (and Chicago City Colleges) has to offer. I took her for Math 143 as well. I no longer fear Calculus because of her. It's math, it's hard, but with her, it's doable.
Save yourself, do not take her, She would not answer your question, She gets really annoyed if you don't understand the first time, What is the point of teaching if she does not want to make sure the student fully understand? She moves very quickly. Most of the student in her class don't bother asking a question, even when they need help.
Awesome!!
Took her for 143 and 207. She is an amazing professor. She explains everything so well and she's funny. She doesn't use a textbook, she gives you everything you need as handouts or online. Just don't expect not to have to work hard. She made Calculus very enjoyable.
As a student of her online class its honestly horrible! She only wants the assignments done in her way only and only her methods of math and doesn't considered other ways of methods of math. You must show work a certain way and on every assignment and even gave homework due on a holiday! I wish she was a bit more understanding. Avoid this class.
If you wanna learn something, skip this teacher. She only gives you a bunch of YouTube and Khan Academy videos, grade your homework and that's all (No zoom meetings). you have to learn everything by yourself which is really difficult (even if you have good mathematic skills).
She doesnt give breaks even though they are included in our class period. Its two hour of straight lecture. Also when you say you dont understand something she explains it again the same way as the first time. All over the worst math Teacher Ive had. It
She is super nice if you talk to her and go to her office hours. Definitely a tough grader and a little meticulous, but she genuinely cares about her students and the way math is taught. If you pay attention and use the resources she gives you (which is a lot), you can do well in her class. Overall, great teacher!
I took MATH207 Calculus I with Professor Hidegkuti. Prof. Hidegkuti's enthusiasm for math is contagious. I left this class feeling curious and excited about math. The class is also difficult, and the tests are frequent and comprehensive. You will have to do a lot of work for this class. Overall, Prof. Hidegkuti is a talented and caring teacher.
There is no homework but unlike other math courses ive taken there very hard to follow- no slideshows, just her writing on a paper. its extremely fast paced and all quizes and tests are with our camera on and mid term n final are supposed to be in person, even though its a online class not a hybrid class. have to teach yourself !
Worst Professor ever and loves to cut people off. She does not deserve to be a professor. And gives out so much homework
Ms. Hidegkuti is a great instructor. She provided us with excellent resources. Just work with her and I am sure you will get an excellent grade. I encourage everyone to take her classes.
Great teacher. If you put in the time and effort you will be rewarded. Speak up in her class even if you think you are wrong. She really is passionate about math and is looking out for her students. Her attitude is a reflcetion of your participation. Get ready for homework.
Took her for Math 141, and god i hated this class. I was wondering why this class was so small, but after reading the reviews, i see why. One, she writes down her lessons on paper. It is a zoom class, not everyone will be able to read it. And i asked if she can make a power point and she told me no. Her handwriting isnt neat at all. dont take her.
Took this class in 2017. She was just trying to show off her skills. Her old classic teaching style using her handouts only, is not helpful at all. She thinks she's the smartest because she learned the right way in where she's coming from. I retook the class with another, modern, smart, and modest professor and learned much more with a better grade
