This course is not your typical basic math course as it does get into some advanced concepts, but professor Bolton is great in using real life examples in order to keep everyone engaged and on the same page. The work load is more than average, so it's important to stay on top of assignments to receive the great feedback she provides!

I would totally take this professor again. She is the best professor ever. She makes sure that everyone understands the material before you leave class. There is a quiz due about every week, but she gives you several attempts. Also, she teaches you the harder problems so that when it comes to the test, it will be very easy to get an A. Take her!!

I took Mrs. Bolton class for calculus and discreet mathematics. Both maths are completely different but she was able to clearly explain everything clearly that was presented. Her lectures are very engaging and she prints out notes that are very helpful. She explains the concepts were are learning by relating them to other things we already know.

Professor Bolton was fantastic. I took her 6-week accel. Intermediate Algebra course, and it was overall very well structured. She has a discussion post for each unit where she + other students answer any questions you have. She is extremely nice and willing to help you out, genuinely wants to see you succeed.

If you're looking for something close to Algebra or Calculus, Discrete math is not it. Some concepts are hard to understand but Dr. Bolton does an amazing job explaining and answering questions. She has incredible patience. Studying for tests is crucial for success in this class; I found flashcards to be especially helpful. 10/10 would recommend!

The rating is just because she goes through her lectures like you already know everything. she teaches in a very fast pace. I would take her again if she changed that and gave extra time to understand the material. she is very homework heavy.

She is one of those teachers that are passionate about the subject they teach, and makes the lesson 10x more fun and easier to learn. If you really study the concepts she teaches on your own time, you start understanding, and it almost becomes fun. Never thought I'd say that about math but that's my opinion on this professor.

First off, the ratings are not true. Because she made us write an "honest" review for credit, so she manipulated the results. She singlehandedly is the worst teacher i've ever had.

The best math professor ever. I've never had a math teacher who explains concepts in ways you can easily understand. The exams are worth a good amount of the grade, and there's lots of work, but if you've taken algebra before and practice the review questions it shouldn't be too challenging. Ask for help, do the work, and you will do great!
