This should have been an easy, basic math course but Dr. Kutter makes it difficult by not allowing the use of calculators. There are several quizzes a week, so be prepared to spend a lot of time outside of class studying. She doesn't answer most questions asked in class and is hard to reach.

Dr.Kutter was an OK teacher, but she had a tendancy to over-explain really easy and basic things. I went to every lecture/ recitation and practiced for the final for days- beware- the practice is NOTHING like the final. and read the text- its easier to reteach yourself.

Her teaching style is good if you learn well by looking at examples. The class itself is a lot more difficult than MAC1105 because there are no bonus quizzes and no extra credit. Plus, the final exam and test 3 make up for more than 50% of your grade. There is no room for slacking off in this course.

She is extremely clear and very much to the point. Not incredibly exciting, but Precalc is a departmental class so she does not have a lot of wiggle room.

HIGHLY recommend taking her. She goes through everything extremely thoroughly so the class can get kinda boring, but it's only two times a week. You get credit for going through PRS. The quizzes/tests are on the computer, but she posts identical practice ahead of time so you can practice unlimited times. The best math teacher I've ever had.

She goes very slow, but that's why she's really good. She does have a monotone voice, so beware of falling asleep in class. As long as you take notes, show up to class with your PRS you'll be fine. Also, she's not kidding when she says to do the practice for each section or you won't get a good grade--I was failing until I started doing them.

Dr. Kutter is a great professor especially if you have no background in math. She literally goes over everything step-by-step, which got kinda annoying since I already knew 95% of the material covered because of the math classes i took in highschool, but i'd definitely recommend her. Class is mandatory and tests aren't hard. Did not use the book.

She is through with her examples, but she skips some steps which causes her to get lost in her examples, a lot. The TA was more helpful. The webassign is tedious, and there's on average 4 quizzes a week, which are wayyyy harder than anything on the exam so honestly almost a waste of time. Not my favorite, but she is helpful.

Dr. Kutter is a pretty easy going teacher. Besides the fact that she stutters all the time and doesn't really know how to be an authority figure, she is actually a decent teacher. Sometimes it gets annoying, but she is TOO thorough with her examples and explains things well. I'm not excellent at math, but I got a 97, so I guess she's pretty good.

She's not that bad, but one thing I want to warn is that she's sometimes not very helpful. Workload is simple: weekly quizzes, three tests, and one big final. Homework is on eGrade and is encourgaed.
