She is not a very hard teacher. You will get an A if you show up to class and complete your homework. You have a quiz at the end of each class and can use your notes and check with the people next to you. the only way to get an A due to the quizes and the fact that there is no book she writes everything on the board. tests arent to hard.

Although I think Dr. Mallenby is overrated, it is NO question that her Applied Math class is EASY! If you do not get an A, there is something wrong. The only downside is you must show up to class every day. She gives "group" quizes at the end which actually just means free points. She is soft spoken which can get a little annoying.

I would definitely take Mallenby again if I could! She was super clear in her lectures and her tests were super easy if you did the practice tests and the homework. Don't just sit in class without taking notes. She loves what she does and genuinely cares about her students. Loved having her as a professor and I definitely recommend her!

I had the misfortune of taking Dr. Koffi for calculus last semester, and the difference between that awful, sad excuse for a math teacher and Dr. Mallenby is like night and day. Dr. Mallenby is probably one of the nicest people I've ever met! Not only is she a good teacher, but she is very understanding and knows all of her students.

Dr. Mallenby is amazing. No required textbook - all the assignments are uploaded online to print out - and she explains the material clearly. If you do and understand the study guide you will do well on the test. You have to do the homework and show up to class, as she has quizzes every class, but it's a very easy and engaging class.

Dr. Mallenby is a great lady. If you get to know her she tells a lot of really cool stories, but a lot of people don't get to know her it seems like because she's pretty quiet. The class moves pretty quick so as long as you go and take notes you should be fine. Also, make sure you do well on quizzes and homework, they're the majority the grade.

BEST Calculus teacher ever! Mallenby made it easy to understand and was so sweet to everyone. There's homework every class but is worth a lot of points and is graded off completion, it's a great cushion for tests. Quizzes almost every class but you are allowed to use your notes and other people in class. Would highly recommend her!

Mallenby really makes it easy to understand Calculus, bar none. It really filled the gaps up for me from when I struggled in Calc in high school. Highly recommend. She does go a little fast, and be ready for pop quizzes (that aren't hard at all), but other than that, she's amazing.

Worst professor I've had in college. Got an "A" in the class and have already taken calculus in high school, but she even confused me at times while she was teaching. Quiz everyday and you cannot make them up for any reason. Averaged like 99% on tests and got a 92 in the class for missing 3 or 4 days. Very unreasonable and passive aggressive.

Dr. Mallenby is one of the better math professors at Creighton. There are quizzes every class period, but she lets you use your notes. The tests aren't too bad as long as you've been paying attention. If you've taken calc before this class is incredibly easy, but if not you may struggle more. She's very nice and will help you if you ask.

I would not have passed math without Mallenby. She cares so much for her students and is willing to help all the time. You have homework every day but she gives you the answers. She also makes study guides for the tests that help so much. DO THEM. As long as you are willing to put in a lot of easy work, you WILL pass.

If you don't go to class you will have no idea what's going on because there is no textbook. Also quizzes at the end of every class over the material you just learned that add up to be a substantial portion of your grade. Overall a pretty easy class and good teacher. Would recommend.

I failed every calc test I took in high school but I got high A's on all of Mallenby's tests, and if I could do it, so can you. You just need to go to class because there's no book and she gives quizzes everyday. They're easy quizzes though because they're on what she just taught and you can talk to classmates.

Dr. Mallenby is a fantastic teacher. She is super organized, sticks to the syllabus, and she grades very fairly. She moves through content quickly, so attending class and paying attention is essential. Points are not weighted, so exam scores count the same amount as homework in determining your final grade.

Mallenby truly cares about her students. she has been there for me through a lot of things that happened during the semester that caused me to drop her class for an incomplete and told me that she is available to me at any time for any help in math, although she wasn't my professor. if you ask for help, she is happy to help you.

Easiest and best choice for 201. If you excelled in math in high school, this should be a piece of cake. Homework daily, but it's not too bad. Quizzes are all open-class so they're easy to get 100% on. Each chapter has a test but if you go to class, do the homework, and look at the review problems she gives, they aren't very difficult.

Best choice for 201 at Creighton. Math department in my opinion at Creighton sucks, but she is your easiest choice for this class by far. VERY TEST HEAVY (7-8 tests). Participation mandatory with a pop quiz after each class (not impossible). I personally was not a fan of her, but others were. Will get an A if you study and do homework.

Mallenby is probably one of the better math professors at Creighton. She is a very caring professor and wants you to succeed. She takes notes very very quickly but will stop to help if you need it. Homework is due every class, there's a pop quiz every class and tests are about every other week. Go to class and you should be fine.

Dr. Mallenby is one of the best math professors in the department. Every class has a quiz at the end that is open note/open neighbor, but can't be made up. Homework is all or nothing. There is also a test at the end of every chapter. The class has so many points that extra credit doesn't help and the final is written by a different professor.

Dr. Mallenby speaks quickly and quietly so you will need to pay attention. She is always willing to help you outside of class (a little difficult to get questions answered well in class). Quiz every day, homework every day, and a test every few weeks. Do the homework until you understand material and you will get an A. Explains what is on tests.

For Math 141, we are required to buy the textbook that the professors wrote. The book is just wrong, Its literally wrong information. In terms of tests, the study guides are literally over different material than the tests. This class is not intended to be difficult, but the teachers make it so. Mistakes carry over so if everything is not perfect..

Mallenby is the best professor in Creighton's worst department. That's the equivalent of being an all star on the Cleveland Browns. She goes through class very fast, requires a paper that she fails everyone on, and purposely has high point quizzes when no-one is there. She is not very caring. I would take Carlson over here.

Very sweet person, best option (I think of) the math teachers. Homework is participation, she gives the answer key. Lots of tests, which can be sometimes annoying but it's good for grade boosts. "Pop" quiz after every class but she tells you the type of question it will be. Pay attention in class because she talks quietly sometimes
