she's cool and she knows how to make math easier!
Very helpful, funny, and approachable. Made an 8am Calc class easy and worth going to. Homework almost every night.
she's a really cool teacher, she definetely knows how to break down calc for you. But she isn't that easy, u have to pay attention, do the hw and come to class!
Great teacher, very understanding and makes math easy, one of the best math teachers ive had
She gives the lecture notes to her students, so they can follow her throughout the class. Do the HW, go to class, and she goes over the HW. For quizzes and tests, she lets use cheat sheets and sometimes gives us interesting extra credit. Take her
Great Math Teacher. Relates math to the students. Probably the best math professor at LMU!
Great math teacher. really easy and not boring at all. take this class for sure. 5 easy quizes 3 midterms and a final. u can use cheat sheets
Megan is so helpful and always willing to repeat and explain the homework. If you show that you are willing to work, she is very helpful towards you. I wish that she was going to be teaching 112, nest semester!!!
She is awesome. Very cool and laid back. Three exams (15% each) 4 quizes and a final. Cheat sheets are allowed. Take her, she is the best by far
She is the best math teacher I have ever had! She takes notes for you and hands them out in class! If you want to do well in math you will take her. She is so young and cool you will want her for your next math class. Come on she even makes jokes in class
I am glad she was my math professor. I enjoyed learning math and would take her again!
she made this fairly simple math class, interesting. she is very clear in her lectures and even gives you the notes so you don't have to write them out. if you do your homework you'll do well...but be careful her quizes like to trick you...
TAKe HER IF U CAN!!!!!!
Alright, take her if you want a friend but if you want to pass and move onto 112 then dont. she gives you notes and 3x5 card for test but at the end it doesnt help cause you didnt learn anything
Megan is the BIZNESS
The best math teacher ever. She is really good in explaining stuff and pretty easy. Can use cheat sheets for the exam, gives extra points if u write a joke in ur quiz. Take her if u have a chance for sure.
she is the best around. make sure you dont miss the quizzes. one midterm and a final. she gives extra credit everytime and you use a cheat sheet for the finals. a very nice woman. take her.
if u wanna get screwed take her. apparently she is easy and dont get me wrong she is, but at the end of the semester she decided to change her grading policy, she did this the day after the final and threw the extra credit in my face...take her if u dont mind gettin screwed
huh? This is the 2nd time I've had to take 101, and believe me, my last teacher gave no extra credit or cheat sheets. Yeah, Megan changed the policy (which isn't the coolest thing), but I'm just glad I didn't get the grade strictly from 50% quizzes/50% final. I would have had a C instead of my B-.
Good teacher. Posts notes on her website and is an easy grader. Has quizzes on Fridays on occasion. Take her class and you can pretty much guarantee an A.
She's is awsome. Take the class for real.
hella hard for those people who said she was easy she's not. You don't have to go to class but you have to turn in homework which is almost every week.
she sucks
She was the best teacher I had this year (I wish she taught calc) I would suggest her to everyone!
The all-time, most amazing teacher I have ever had! All those who oppose are either on drugs and fail all of their classes or they are stubborn f*** ups who want to blame a great teacher for their mistakes! She was always there to help and there should be no reason why anyone should fail unless they put it upon themselves!
oooookay, if you didn't like megan's teaching..there is something seriously wrong with you and i highly suggest you drop out of school immediately, because you WILL NOT find a better teacher. she is sooo helpful and sweet, teaches the material insanely well, and just really effin knows what she's doing. i cannot stress enough how great she is!!!!!!
best math instruc. at LMU! She really cares about you learning the material and best of all she is funny and nice! Makes a lot of jokes to make you feel more comfortable and want you to succeed in the class. Take her!!! (you will be happy you did)
she is the most fair teacher I have ever had, and she is always willing to help if you ever have problems/questions, and she is really approachable!! take this class!
Megan is the sickest math teacher ever, there was little homework and her study guides for the tests are the best. Im taking her next semester because after you've had megan, any other math teacher sucks.
Best math Teacher at LMU!
please...just because you're an fing' slacker who didn't want to do any work don't blame her. you have no idea how much she is willing to help you if you just show some sort of willingness to work. wait until you get a real college prof. you're going to learn more from her than most math prof.
Megan was by far the coolest teacher that I have had. She knows what she is doing. There was never a point where I didnt understand what she was saying. Whenever someone needs help she is there and willing to stay as long as you need it. When I take another math class I am definitely going to look for Megan!
Megan freaking ROCKS as a math teacher. That one stupid kid who gave her a bad review doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. All of her lessons more than make sense to me, for once I actually "get" math, and if I did have any questions, usually on homework, she always went over them in addition to being available during office hours.
megan is the best math teacher i have ever had. as long as you keep up with the work, you will pass the class with no problems. she is always there to help anyone who needs it, so if you fail, it's cuz you slacked. she's awesome
her teaching was a bit to quick for me. she is a bit helpful at times but man does she have an attitude problem when she's being "annoyed by us students". I passed the class anyway so whoop de doo
Megan is the best math teacher at LMU! Her sense of humor will keep math lively! She sincerely wants to help you and will go above and beyond to help you. She genuinely cares about her students!
whatever, i thought she was cool. not like i thought college teachers would be like. laid back and down to earth.
She is the best! It is a fun class and she wants you to understand it as well. I would recommend this class to anyone.
Best Math teacher I have ever had. She takes the time to make notes of every chapter and posts them on blackboard for your convenience. If you pay attention in class you will learn the material because she is very clear is her explanations. Really nice and down to earth. Shes a Yankees fan tho so red sox fans stay away!:)
She gives you all the notes, you get a full page of notes for each test, she drops your worst one, and on top of that is a really good teacher. Probably the best math class I have ever taken.
She is so nice and so helpful. She made a normally really hard class, very easy!!
She is a really great teacher, but she wont go out of her way to help you so put in the effort to do your homework the day you go over it in class. It almost ensures you'll get a good grade. Quizes are about once a week and they are really easy if you've done the homework (which never takes long). She's quick and to the point and made math easy.
She is awesome! Attendance is not mandatory however there are a few pop quizzes and it's not a bad class to sit through. She's funny and she explains concepts thorougly. A full page, front and back, cheat sheet is allowed :)
Great prof. straight to the point. tries to make it as easy as possible. quizzes once a week exactly from the homework. will do everything to help you pass the class. Strongly recommend
horrible!!! She comes off really cool, but grades really hard. The simpliest thing can cause your grade to drop drastically.
pretty cool. cheat sheets for tests, but likes quizzes. just do what you are expected, she makes it easier than lots of math profs. I got a C+ and wish I got a B-. DO THE HOMEWORK!
Do the homework. It doesn't even have to be right, just put something down (include your work though). I forgot to do ONE problem (out of about 30), and she marked me down a full 10%. Also, she gives a lot of quizzes that are often identical (or very similar) to homework problems. Don't skip class, because if you miss a quiz, you get an F on it.
in response to the last listing: she didn't grade the homework. the T.A. did the homework grading.
she's great. make sure you go to class all the time. she helps with about everything. i ask to meet u before and she'll be there to help u with anything u need. make sure u do the homework. class is easier if u do it.
Very blunt and matter of fact. Pretty tough grader, but she is very willing to work with you and help you. pretty tough quizzes - she will make sure you understand the concepts with tough problems. recommended if you stay on top of your work.
Take her for math!!! she is extremely easy as long as you understand the topic. she teaches very clearly and you can learn a lot from her. she does not take attendance, tells you when all the quizzes are, you have cheat sheets for all the tests. all homework is online and very easy.
if you gotta take math-- take it with granich! her class is structured in a way that helps you pass! shes on our side!
pretty chill lady, nothing but lectures but pretty easy to follow. textbook bows but you barely use it. homework is short and sweet. lots of quizzes. just go to class and listen and you'll be fine
shes super nice and extremely helpful, but a little chanllenging. make sure you do all the homework and do it correctly because the TA checks everything. she makes all the notes for you before so all you have to do is print them out, but still go to most of the classes
Great teacher! Very helpful. She's not super easy, but if you go to class, pay attention and do the hw, you will get a B o higher. She doesn't go off on tangents, and is a very structured and precise teacher. She takes her time when explaining a concept.
Very cool teacher.Provides Notes,and gives out RANDOM extra credit, for things like people are not showing up she will trow in a xtra credit problem or group work, and one time she gave us a "practice test" and ended up being our real test...kina funny...
She is a very good teacher. She has quizes and tests she also gives out extra credit and is very helpful
i was failing the class the whole semester as i have no clue in math and she help me to get a C. but many people in got A in her class. very well structured class
Amazing Teacher! Very easy to understand. She gives you a binder with all the notes. I learned everything from the binder.
HORRIBLE TEACHER!! yea she gives cheat sheets but her exams are not based on the hw. She makes up her on questions and theyre a lot harder!! She doesn't completely explain how to solve problems your practically learning on your own.
She's so cool!! She takes her job so seriously and really cares about her students. She's constantly e-mailing the class and it's really inspiring to see someone who's so involved and interested in their students. If you have to take math, take it with her, she's amazing.
She is my favorite professor at lmu. She explains everything so you can understand it and does what she can to ensure u get the best grade. She is such a great teacher!!!!!
Great at the beginning of the semester. Towards the end of the semester she tends to skip the actual teaching part of her job and just assigns hw assuming the students will teach themselves. Her course material is well organized but she herself is extremely antsy and a bit distracting.
First off I had to take Math 112 twice. Not a big Math fan whatsoever. Granich however is straight and to the point and always avalible for extra help. She warns you ahead of time about what will be on quizzes and test. Just do your homework and you'll do very well. However, she does assign alot of homework. Class is Mandatory.
Great teacher! She is helpful and always making class interesting. One of the best math classes.
Awesome teacher. I didn't take pre-cal so i thought i was gonna fail calculus, but thanks to Granich i passed with an A. Do everything you can to get into her class.
She is the best math teacher I have ever had in my life. Very reasonable amount of work. Relatively easy if you pay attention, do your homework, and study a little before tests. Sidenote: she kinda looks like Tina Fey. Also she has a very sexy pony tail!
Literally she is amazing! she makes the material easy to understand, and she is funny. Definitely get her as your teacher if you can!
The is the best teacher I have ever had period. No matter what subject if you want a great teacher you better take her. She makes the material SO CLEAR AND EASY...homework isnt hard at all, tests are not hard either, because of her help...last but not least she lets you brings jokes on test days for EXTRA CREDIT, youd be stupid not to take her
probably the best math 111 teacher you can get. not a strict attendance policy, but you should go to get group work grades that count as quizzes. cheat sheets on every test. drops lowest quizzes. super chill. funny. she's just to the point and realistic. just take her, you'll be lucky to have her
Definitely my favorite professor this semester! I was actually looking forward to taking calc but was afraid I wouldn't understand it, Megan made it sooooo easy to understand! and baked us cookies on the last day of class! super clear! if she wasn't a yankees fan she would be the perfect teacher..
Overall an amazing teacher. Attendance is mandatory or else you'll be lost, notes and lecture are explained really well, always willing to help students. lots of extra boost to grades (drop 1 hw, 2 quizzes). cheat sheets during tests.extremely funny! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this teacher. hw is mandatory but helpful to prepare for future tests!
She is GREAT!!super organized, funny, and her class is easy to understand. She gives you class notes for the entire semester, extra credit for jokes in quizzes and exams, lets you have a cheat sheet, and bakes cookies for all her classes at the end of the semester! highly recommended. Best math professor ever.
If you have the option of taking calculus from Megan then do it! She is the best teacher. Very doable to get an A but it will take some work. She explains everything on a level that you can understand so clearly and simply. Guys will like her class more as she tends to share our type of humor. Definitely not the usual stuffy professor. TAKE HER
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. If you pay attention in class and study the notes you will do well. Also she is really helpful in her office hours, you can even go to her before tests and she will help you. She is also really funny and laid back. Definitely take math 112 with her.
One of the best math professors I have ever had! I was scared to take calc, but she made it so easy to learn and understand. Definitely take her if you get the opportunity!
Best math professor i have ever had. She has a really funny sense of humor and gives you many chances to succeed, dropping lowest quiz and homework grade, and potentially an exam grade. Great at getting the material across to her students AND she baked cookies for us on the last day. If you have to opportunity, TAKE HER.
Megan is the best! I don't wanna tell you this cause i wanna find seats in her classes if she gives 112 haha. She makes the notes for you gives plenty of chances to boost your grade, not to mention easiest extra credit. She is super funny, take her class if you're the person that has a hard time understanding math, but be prepared to do some work.
Great teacher who tries to make Calculus as simple as it can be. She really cares about her students and you can tell that she enjoys being a teacher. Also gives you a lot of opportunities to do well in the course.
Megan is a great teacher. She goes through all the lessons thoroughly and tests her students on the material shes taught. She really wants her students to do well. You can use a cheat sheet on every exam even the final. You get extra credit on the tests and your lowest quiz and homework get dropped.
She is a really cool teacher, and gets the material across in a way that is easily understandable. There is a lot of extra credit throughout the course, quizes, group work, and tests to make sure we know the material but they weren't hard at all. Definitely take her!
She writes the notes for you and all you have to do if fill in example problems which she does on the board. Her notes explain EVERYTHING and are very helpful. Just do the homework and you'll be fine.
The best
Has easy quizzes then impossible tests. Does not help students with homework, quizzes, or tests. Homework weekly and grades fairly difficult on the homework. Tests are very difficult and graded even more difficultly. She is evil!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS EVER.
fun class get extra credit on exams for writing a joke. in class quizzes boost grade. basically only understandable math teacher that makes sense so def try to get her. tests are not a piece of cake but there not fml status. she teaches the material really well and with a little studying u'll have a A. Prints out notes for you too so u just fill in
She is awesome! I hated calculus until I had her. Her notes are extremely helpful and although her tests can be hard she grades them fairly and if you study you can get an A! I would highly reccommend her. She is very organized and keeps her class organized. It is difficult to fail this class as long as you do the work and put in the effort.
Professor Granich is by far the best math teacher/professor I have ever had. This is my second course that I have taken with her. She takes confusing text from the book and puts it into a way that is more easy for you to understand. And, she has a quirky personality that makes math fun and interesting. I would recommend taking a course with her.
Great teacher. A very fun and down to earth person who really wants you to learn. Getting a good grade is challenging but not impossible like it may seem to be for other math courses. Definitely recommend her.
BEST teacher Ive had at LMU & the BEST math teacher Ive ever had. Megan is super chill and likeable. Do the homework, come to class, pay attention and youll do good. She lets you bring in jokes for extra credit and lets you use cheat sheets for all tests and the final. Makes things super easy to understand. AMAZING TEACHER! TAKE HER IF YOURE SMART.
she's awesome
Math 111 Really awesome teacher that makes math actually understandable.
She was one of the best math teachers I have ever had. However, I would recommend practicing the hardest problems in the book prior to taking an Exam.
Unlike almost any other Math Professors at LMU Megan is the best. Every teacher should be like Megan and I hope LMU recognizes how good of a teacher she is
She is a nice teacher and a funny person, but this class was way harder than expected. I was good at math but her tests completely through me off everytime. TOUGH class, and it goes by very fast pace. Her style of note taking is great but you need to be alert at all times to understand well
Megan is the best! She's hilarious and such a great teacher. Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go if you want to get a good grade. She makes all the material really clear and lets you bring cheat sheets for tests. Make sure to do the homework the day she assigns it so you don't get behind. I would 100% recommend taking her for math 112
Megan is the best math professor ever! She is always organized and makes the subject very easy. (Math for dummies) I totally recommend her!
Megan is a great teacher, she makes calculous an enjoyable class and is an amazing teacher. To get a good grade just study for the tests/quizzes. Those are hard but if you do homework/study a bit you'll be good.
Straightforward math class. Just do the work and you will get a good grade.
For people who have difficulty understanding mathematic/scientific language, Megan teaches in a language that makes it easy to understand.
She is a great Professor, only downside is the hw she gives- even though it is helpful as practice. Just attend her class, she prints all the notes out for you and basically handholds you through the whole semester. If you want a good grade and to learn a little too, take her.
Megan is the greatest math teacher you could have for 111! Just take the class....
She's a really good teacher. I enjoyed her class. Her lectures are easy to understand and helpful. She let's you out early a lot. Beware of chapter 10. That chapter was literally terrible.
There's a reason when you type in Loyola Marymount University on this site, Granich is one of the most popular teachers. She is bar-none the best math teacher I have ever had. My only problem is that the tests seem to be extremely difficult compared to the quizzes and homework. But she knows what she's talking about. For 112, take Granich.
Loved her. She was a great teacher and had the best personality. She not only made the content understandable, but she presented it in a clear, organized way, and she was great when she interacted with us she was great. Just do as she recommends you'll do just fine.
Awesome and very helpful teacher! She makes the subject fun! She has a good amount of office hours. Take her!
I do not really understand why people think she is such a great teacher. She was barely ever available this semester in her office hours. I also struggled with the material, Not due to the applications of Calculus, but to some of the complicated Algebra steps, which she doesn't go over or cover , which makes the course tough and frustrating.
She is a good teacher, but HARD. Really really hard. Be prepared to struggle with te tests
Really good notes. Tough Quizzes. If you are consistent with the work and actually work after every class you'll learn and definitely get a great grade in this class. 3 tests and a final. Quiz almost every week. The best Math teacher I have ever come across.
Megan has been a great teacher this semester. She is extremely fair and really wants you to succeed. I definitely recommend Megan as a math 112 teacher because she simplifies the material and makes everything understandable. Make sure to keep up with your work and not get behind and you will do just fine in her class.
Megan is super cool. She makes it really easy to understand as long as you follow along with the homework. Not that hard of tests either
Megan's a fantastic teacher and I mean it! She always explains hard Mathematical concepts in understandable ways especially with the notes that she provide. I definitely recommend her, love her enthusiasm in teaching!
Dr. Granich is the best! Take her, take her, take her. Calculus is a hard subject but she goes above and beyond helping out and providing timely feedback to her students. Great sense of humor and her explanations are engaging and easier to grasp than regular ol' boring calculus. You'll regret it if you take someone else.
Megan is an awesome professor. She made Calculus really understandable. She'd always keeps you updated about your grade and class standing. Her explanations and the notes that she provides for you is very helpful. Definitely recommend her. Go to class, finish the homework, study for quizzes. I'm glad that I was took her class over anyone else.
Granich is honestly one of the best math professors I have ever had. Her notes are fantastic and she is extremely helpful and easy to talk to. I actually enjoyed going to class and I would recommend her over any other math professor for calculus.
She's one of the best math teachers! If you show up, engage, and do the homework on time you'll be fine. Go to tutoring if you need it! Her class isn't easy, but it's reasonable. There will never be something on a test or quiz that you haven't seen before. The group work can be pretty helpful too.
Unlike many mathematicians that cannot teach, Granich knows how to present the material in a clear and understandable way. Not only is she knowledgeable and very approachable when students have questions, she's entertaining, as well! Prepare for a good laugh when she tells jokes.
Megan is such amazing teacher and she is do prepare to the class her notes are perfect. She is so funny and if u did all the hws and do ur best in the test u can get an A on the class easy . Really she is so helpful
I didn't even do that well in her class (It was my own fault) but Granich is definitely a fantastic math teacher. Super clear and explains her material very well. Although you still have to practice what she teaches with the HW or else you're gonna struggle.
I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH A TERRIBLE MATH PROFESSOR. Does an excellent job teaching the material in class, but come test time ITS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. She tries to trick you instead of making sure you have basic knowledge of the material covered. Don't take her class. Trust me.
Don't take this class.
Honestly, I got on this website when registering for this class and got excited because I thought this would be a great class. I was definitely deceived. NEVER AGAIN.
She's a really good teacher and gives you lots of opportunities to boost your grade and help you out, through dropped quizzes and group work. She even gives you cheat sheets on the tests. Her class can become hard if you do not do any of the homework, but if you stay on top of the homework you should do just fine.
One of the best math teacher I've ever had, lectures are crystal clear. there are always useful notes on blackboard that you can refer to. Tests are almost 100 percent based on the HW. I did every single HW problem before each test, and got an A- as my final grade. A lot of extra credits stuff can bump up your grade, like dropping the worst grade.
I have experienced several math professors at LMU, and so far Megan has been the most helpful professor I've had. She sincerely wants everyone to pass and goes the extra mile to help us understand; she does expect the student to take the time and put in the effort needed to pass the class. She's an understanding, genuine, down to earth professor.
