She is not that bad!!! Everyone hates her because of her grading skill, but still most of us got that 20% at the end. Yes, she have a DIFFERENT technique when teaching, but she does explain in an easy way, I bet no one went to her labs. If you do HW You'll be fine, just try to follow her. I think she had a style at dressing, she was cool.

Her method of teaching is very weird but she gives you a whole new perspective on the idea. and she always willing to help you with any questions that you have. her little quizes are easy and straight from your homework.

You have to take your time by analyzing and understanding. She makes the course as simple as it could get, but you need the time to practice.

She is cool and helpful. I learned alot in her class.She is hot too.

What I like about her is that she is a HUMAN BEING, not a robot! She's a real person who understands that you don't always understand something the first time. Lectures are fast, and she is a bit tough to keep up with, but she encourages questions, and if you go to her office hours,she will help! If you want a real person, take her class.

she is good

really nice teacher but tuff subject that requires a lot of memorizing. I recommend if and only if you are going to do the homework if not then dont bother. Plus, hottest teacher I've had so far =)

She is an excellent teacher, no need to say more!!!she is hot too

Great teach!

Excellent teacher

Ok...after reading all the horrible comments for Prof. Galvez I was really scared last semester. And after taking the class, I realized how immature some comments were, and how stupid I was to pay any attention to those comments. She is not bad as many people say. All you need to do is show up to class, copy her notes and pay attention to them. It

Show up, pay attention. It really helps if you do the homework (not mandatory btw..only certain times..and when it is it's not much) so you can practice for the tests. She explains very well and gives examples easy to understand. I do have to say though that there are times when the material gets more complicated, but it's a matter of paying good

Good teacher, a little strict, knows material very well, but im troubled by the fact she pretends through nonsense lectures like she doesnt.

Good teacher just goes in to deep with her teachings and sometimes make it seem more complicated then what it really is. It is easier to learn from the book. Must do homework and takes a lot of time!!!

The impression she gives off is that she is a hard professor, she isnt. If you have time to meet with her during office hours or are able to schedule time with her to meet in class early you will do well in her class. notes come straight from the book though she analyzes them a little more. Great teacher! Take her if you want to learn.I got a B.

Very helpful, great at lecturing, she is pretty funny if you get to know her. 65% or higher to get a C in her class and she gives extra credit. Need i Say more, take her shes the best you'll get a guranteed A/B.

She does lecture a bit fast for me (i'm a little slow with math), but nonetheless she's fair. Kinda hard to concentrate since she's pretty cute. If you study the sections in the book and understand the HW you will certainly pass. Fun teacher too, she can come off rather cold but she is not! Extra credit is a plus too.

Don't pay attention to the bad comments about this professor. Come to class, do the home quizzes, do the homeworks and you will pass her class. She is very helpful!!

If you come to her class you will pass without problem. THe home quizzes are sometimes similar to the tests. Study the home quizzes, do the homeworks and you will pass her class with a good grades.

This profess is NOT THAT terrible. She does give alot of help during her office hours and teaches everything that will be on the tests, problem is it's alot but c'mon it's math. She likes for students to ask questions.

A lot of people had trouble in her class, her tests were about 7 difficult questions, but they were just like the examples she put on the board. A lot of homework, not mandatory, but if you looked over the odds you'd be fine. She teaches so you understand and not memorize math. Awesome teacher if you're looking into anything to do with the field.

She is a good teacher and you should pass the class if you go to class everyday. If you don't you'll get lost. The test are pretty aren't to bad. The final is was kills everyone.

I dont know why so many people have left her negative comments. She's a great professor and extremely helpful, she tries her best to make sure you understand whats going on but she's not going to sit there and baby you. If you study, go to class and do the homework there's no reason why you shouldnt pass her class with a good grade!

She's a good teacher. She goes real fast but she makes sure you understand.Her tests are exactly like her homework and in class explanations. She is extremely helpful when you go visit her during office hours. I am grateful i took her class.

although math is one of the hardest subjects for me, she made some time to help out and tuttor before class. She is hard but fair in her grading. Do not assume easy is the word but math never is.

Great professor, i got a C in the class only because i didnt pay attention in the beginning. Her tests come straight from the notes and practice problems she does. Review quizzes/notes before tests and you'll do fine. She's very nice and understanding and grades extremely leniently. She'll give points for almost anything, just try!

It's obvious her knowledge of the subject matter and her capability to teach it is extraordinary, but she can - and most often does, at least to me - carry an aura of surliness which probably causes many students in class to feel too discouraged/intimidated to ask questions. Basically, she responds to ALL student's queries with a patronizing tone.

Study from her notes, don't bother with the homework unless you want to understand other examples. There are 4 exams, each exam with 4questions, and a final with 8questions. If you go to class, study fairly on notes to the point that you can do her examples, you will do fine.

Professor G, is amazing! She takes her time explaining everything thoroughly, she is funny and you can ask her all the questions you want. The tests come right off her notes, aslong as you go to class and pay attention and study her notes, you are good to go!

Listen, Prof Galvez is an AMAZING professor. It all depends on the effort you put in. If you go to her for help, she will help you!! Those of you saying she was horrible probably didn't even know she had ofice hours! I went to her and receved an A. GREAT professor!!!! TAKE HER!

Great teacher. She has a sense of humor. And for someone that hates math I seemed to get it in her class. Now, if you don't take the time to study from her notes don't expect to pass. Exams are literally examples from class notes. She's very helpful and answers any questions you have in class willingly. Hw isn't mandatory but it does help you.

Professor Galvez is so sweet! She thoroughly explains her examples but she does go fast!keep up with her! Always allows Qs if you dont understand the material. ALWAYS take notes from the board!! AND pay attention so you understand it! Her exams come straight from her notes so make sure you write them down and understand them!

Her lectures were in depth, and she was always around after class if anyone needed help. Her sessions after class were terrific and she always made sure we understood what she was teaching. Great teacher, and I could tell that she loved what she did for a living. Will be taking her again for cal 2

Professor Galvez is tricky to rate. On one hand, she is a great person and has a nice sense of humor. On the other hand, she seems a bit full of herself and has a propensity to talk down to others. The class itself was pretty challenging I thought but I'm bad at math. Homework was not necessary but it helped. Tests were pretty hard though!

Great professor that is invested in her class. Goes the extra mile to help us learn the material and encourages questions. This aint high school kids, put in the work and go to her office hours and you'll do fine.

Professor Galvez is a great professor. She has passion for what she teaches. She will answer any questions and makes you feel welcome. Remember this type of class is where you have to put alot of effort. She offers office hours and does her best to help the student. It is up to the student, if they get involved and dedicate time to material.

Took her in the Summer and I can honestly say she was the best math professor I have had in a long time. If you take advantage of her office hours and do your hw, an A is very possible. She's extremely helpful and understanding. Tests are exactly how she says they are, and can be pretty tough. But with office hours help you should always do well.

Very organized and patient when giving lecture. If anybody asked a question he would be as thorough as possible. Quizzes and homework are online. Exams in person but were consistent with the material. Not too much of an easy grader but not too picky. Gives extra credit! FInal grade was a B and i completely hate math.

She is an awesome math teacher. she explains everything well. she doesn't really go that fast. Anyone who complains don't take the effort to stop her ask questions. her English is perfect. If you want to pass,Take her!!!

Good teacher. goes through material specifically and likes to have practice problems done in class. Very nice. 4 exams, Final replaces lowest test score. Exams are simple. If you like step by step mathematics take her. Every little step must be shown in exams.

Ms. Galvez is a good professor but in order to pass you have to do the homework and study the examples she gives on the board. And if you're still confused she'll will help you after class and her office hours.

Her lectures are very clear, write down everything she writes on the board. If you do all the HW she gives in class she will give you extra credit on the exam. Do the online HW before the exam it will help. Going to office hours is what helped me get an A, she is there for her students. You need to put work into this class, it won't be an easy A

The class itself is very confusing because of the material but she tries to be as precise as possible and she does care if you pass. She is great at exlpaining and shes also very nice. Her tests can be tough if you dont go to class or dont pay attention. It was 4 exams,replaces lowest with final if its higher, includes homework, plus extra credit

I took this class Fall 2014 and she was a great professor. She lectures a little fast but you can stop her at any time. The online homework she gives is almost identical to the exam, so make sure you do it. She genuinely cares about her students and is always willing to help during office hours. I passed the class with an A. I highly recommend her.

An excellent teacher that treats the class very seriously. You will gain a strong and comprehensive understanding of calculus. But beware, the journey can be painfully difficult. Her grading policy makes 'A's possible even if her difficult exams makes you think otherwise. Overall, I love this teacher and would gladly take more classes from her.

Professor Galvez is a phenomenal teacher. She teaches at a fast enough pace to keep you on your toes, and she provides numerous examples for EVERYTHING you do. If math is not your strong suit or if you are softwhiny- I don't recommend her for you. Tests and grading is intense, but so are the extra credit opportunities. Finally, she is very kind.

She was honestly one of the best professors I've had for math. I came into the class thinking that Trig would be difficult and she made each topic easy to understand.

She's an amazing professor. If you don't understand something she is willing to go over it again. I would definitely take her again. She also gives extra credit and the hw is pretty easy. Also, as long as you pay attention in class you should be able to get an A or B on the exam. There are no quizzes in class but they are online. I recommend her!

Prof Galvez is an excellent professor for students who aren't so great at math. She makes sure everyone is understanding before moving forward and always answers questions without making you feel dumb. She goes out of her way to provide help after class and quickly responds to emails. 5 exams and final replaces lowest, HW counts for grade

She is super nice, practicing the material will allow you to do great!

Her lectures are fast. She covers a lot of material in one class but her tests are like the problems in class. Do the reviews that sends the links of and then ask her questions in office hours. Its how I passed Pre-cal with 100 percent in every test. I would definitely take her again.

She is by far the BEST math professor I've ever had. If students complain, it's because they don't go to class. It's important to show up to class because she covers a lot of material, if you go through the notes, and go to office hours you will do great. But if you don't put in the time you're gonna have a bad outcome. I think she's amazing!

Prof G. provides you with the tools you need to get an A. The homework and quizzes are on MyLabsPlus and are worth 15% of your grade. Before each exam she provides you with practice questions from the textbook and exams are covered in there. If you spend a day or two to go over them before each exam you will pass with flying colors. Lots of E.C.!!!

Ms. Galvez is one of the best math professors at FIU without a doubt. She wants you to pass her class. Honestly I am not the best at math, however she breaks down the problems to a point where it is easy to understand. She talks a bit fast but you will get used to it by the middle of the semester. p.s She gives a lot of extra credit.

I took this class Summer B and she was a great professor. She does go fast but you can stop her at anytime and ask questions. Her explanations of the concepts are really good and gives great examples. There is HW due every week and quizzes. If you are having any problems go and see the TA who is very helpful especially for the 3 exams and final.

She is very fast yes, but she is willing to give absolutely any opportunity you need to pass the class as long as she knows you care. Her tests come directly from her notes, and will help you further more in her office hours. She does move test dates back but only when she feels like she needs to further explain for us to do good on our tests.

She is a really good teacher it is just that Business Calc is really hard period. I had to retake take it 3 times with 3 different professors but I finally got a C with her. She knows all the material really well and DOES want her students to pass. She does go a little fast, but I think that is the departments fault. Tutoring is really helpful.

Professor Galvez is not only a good professor but a caring person, she treats you as an individual and not just another student. She is available nearly after every class session so you may come to her office and ask any questions you have on the lecture. Calculus was extremely difficult for me but she made it better. I recommend her. 5 STARS!

I took CALC with her fall semester and didn't pass and retook it again with her and got a B+. You just really need to focus and study. You won't pass if you don't study. Her tests are straight from her notes. If you do all your homework and study her notes there is reason why can't get a B in the class. Shes also willing to help you.

gave lots of extra credit and lectures are very clear. easily understandable. it's worth to take her

if you want to have a strong base for calc then take her. lectures are easily understandable

I loved professor Galvez. I had taken her class once before without truly appreciating what she offered, so I didn't pass. Her exams are heavily based on the textbook examples and those she gives in class. And if she see's you genuinely trying, she will make an attempt to help you out. She's a very very good professor, especially given the subject.

Best professor for Business Calc!!!! Go to class and take notes, because her tests come all from her notes. If you do the work, you are going to be successful in this class.

Galvez is a great professor, you have to have a solid calc background and know your basics. The exams come straight from the applications she does in class and from the paper she gives you in class. Would take her again

Galvez is great, just know your basics.

I took her for Precal in the Summer, shes a great professor but goes fast (theres a lot to cover). Helps to know the basics of algebra (if you took a break from math you might struggle like I did). Helps a lot during office hours. Her tests are not multiple choice. TESTS ARE WEIGHTED HEAVY (75%). 3 Tests/final/ A lot of hw & quizzes. Ask questions

Professor Galvez has high expects three things from you: show up to class, participate, and do the homework. All of her exams come from the problems she goes over in class. As long as you study your notes you won't be surprised by anything you see. For the final exam- DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR APPLICATIONS. If you think she won't test you on them- wrong.

Professor Galvez knows her material and gives a lot of extra credit; however, if your strong side is not math, this is not the right choice for you. Tests come directly from notes, but mastering everything in a short time can be hard, mostly if you are a procrastinator.

Professor Galvez puts so much effort and care into her students, which makes la difficult class do-able. She gives out extra credit and explains things thoroughly. She is very passionate about what she does and genuinely cares about her students passing! She does give a lot of hard homework, but the practice helps. And the test are much simpler!

I took her during the Spring of 2020. She was a good professor in person, she does go over things very thoroughly and you will need a solid foundation. Take good notes and you will be able to pass her tests since most of her test is based on her lectures. Also, always do the extra credit, it's pretty much an easy 10 points on the exam.

Prof G actually wants you to pass. She's aware that the classes she teaches are difficult, so she tries her best to help you get a good grade, especially with extra credit. She gives pre & post EC assignments for each exam and the final replaces your lowest exam. Obviously, she expects you to do your part, so as long as you do, you should pass.

Her lectures were rushed but it was because we had 50 minutes of class time. I would suggest going to office hours and meeting with the tutors if you take her. The final replaces your lowest exam and she gives pre & post extra credits for each exam.

So yes the attendance is mandatory, but someone can easily sign you in. Also, so much extra credit. Up to 30% of extra credit to be added to each exam (done out of class) plus extra credit problems on the exam AND the exams are graded on a curve. Honestly it's impossible to fail this class.

Very specific and sometimes even harsh grading criteria, but attending the lectures is helpful. She has an alternative way of teaching but after the first few lectures its worth getting used to. Pre and Post tests are grade saviors for someone not too good at math.

She's so funny actually. It's a hybrid class so she expects you to watch the playposts so you have an idea of whats going on then she goes over it. She makes up her own math rules so the TAs are very helpful in figuring out what is going on. It's easy to pass and you don't need to be good at math.

I naturally am really bad at math but passed this class with C+. she gives a TON of xtra credit. TAKE IT. the subject is difficult but she makes it possible to pass, those complaining were to lazy to do the work. DO THE POST TESTS, they HELP A TON. only downside about her is that she does NOT answer her emails. Just study and do the work

Hybrid class. Galvez is a WONDERFUL teacher. Her class is very well organized, from the first day you know when to submit the assignments, so it is very easy to organize yourself to do it. She gives 3 exams and a final exam, each one has a guide with the answers. If you like math and you know how to organize your time, you can easily get an A.

TAKE HER! My best advice is take this over the summer because there is no final and doesn't cover all lessons. Take advantage of post exams they add 30% to your exam. Study, ask questions, go to office hours, take advantage of tutoring after class. She's very caring and wants you to understand. Don't be scared to ask questions. Good luck.

Prof Galvez makes a tough math class manageable with plenty of extra credit and grading curve. unstuckstudy was a big help for study prep along with the tutoring sessions. Tough, but passable if you put in the work.

She was good at explaining the lessons and homework was just class work. She made it easy to pass and gave enough work to where you could actually learn but not be swamped.
