The class is huge and it met 4 times a week. I am retaking the class this semester along with about half of the students that took it last semester. Do not take it unless you already know the stuff.
she was always clear
No Comments
She moves too quick during lectures so I guarantee you'll get lost unless you know you familiarize with the stuff before class. If not, she'll leave you in the dust trying to figure out what she was talking about 2 minutes ago.
HER TESTS ARE IMPOSSIBLE. SHE IS SOO HARD! I WOULD TAKE A DIFFERENT PROFESSOR. I AM GOOD AT ALGERA AND I STUGGELED TO GET A C.
she is a very horrible teacher, she is too hard to keep up with and she expects you to know everything, and she is very vague with the help
She's not that bad. Her tests are pretty hard, but if you have half a brain then you can follow along with her in the lectures and learn the material for the tests.
SHE IS NICE BUT HER TESTS ARE REALLY HARD!! IF YOU DONT STUDY EVERY NIGHT YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE LOST, LIKE ME!
She is a wonderful person! I really like her as a person and her lessons are clear, but her tests are impossible. I learned a lot, but her tests are really hard. You go into them thinking that you know the information but make a C or a D.
I took her she is a good teacher, I think as long as you try and do your work you can get it she will really work with you....all the complaints are coming from college algebra student you guys should know that stuff from high school....how did you take the SAT???
She's a great teacher. Ask her for help and she's always there. She makes things short and sweet and will not continue until everyone is on the right path. Her tests aren't that hard it's just easy to make a simple mistake. I would recommend her to anyone!
would not take her again .. she seems to proocupied with other things going on at the university .. goes to fast.. and her stud. assistants.. whew.. that another sory
very easy if you do all the homework and online quizzes. if you're lazy and don't do work, then don't take her.
She is really nice and she has fun with the class. She is more than willing to help and she gives extra credit and other helpful opportunities. Just keep up with the work. The tests are a little on the hard side but she is awesome!

She's a pretty decent teacher.
She is not helpful at all and tests are so hard!! Dont take her, it's a waste of time!!
Clear communication in lecture, helpful outside of class, better than others.
+: She is very clear and helpful, both in and out of class. Provides a casual learning environment. -: A lot of homework. Medium to tough grading on exams. Overall, I took her again for Calc 3.
she was an awsome prof and explained everything clearly. plus she is very nice about helping students outside of class
Her lecture is bad but those online quizs are horrible goodluck
This class is an easy class. If you dont like going to class all the time, take this class. It is a lecture hall so you don't have to go all the time. I went for just the tests and did fine. Take her
late for class, nothing given back. Went to see her, will not help you at all. Most of class has dropped, & will not go over any homework. Flying by the seat of pants in here
she knows her stuff. tooonnnnnnnsss of work tho! If you dont mind spending time on math homework, then go for it!
Very knowledgeable but not enthusiastic about the topic - was constantly ranting about how spring break couldn't come any faster. Tests are reasonable and she gives A LOT of partial credit, so if you put forth effort you'll pull off a B. Online quizzes can be retaken as many times as needed and are automatic 100s, weekly quizzes are simple too.
This course is about proving/disproving theories in Mathematics and this teacher never once provided a complete proof. She lacked the rigor she expected. She'd "get lost" and say, "You know the rest." Was unavailable during office hours and usually late to class (even on exam days - no, she doesn't stay late if she shows late.) Unprofessional.
I really enjoyed this class. I hate math, but Professor Dedeo is a really good teacher. You never get out early and you have a lot of homework, but she always drops your lowest grades. She gives lots of partial credit and sometimes extra credit! She's pretty funny too. She's late sometimes, but explains concepts well. Take her!
She is very unprofessional, consistantly late to class, and she just kinda wings the lecture which can be very confusing at times. Her tests were resonable, but she does assign a lot of homework. I took Calc I & II with Mr. Milatovic and highly recomend him, but I do not recommend Dr. Dedeo based on my experience.
Avoid this teacher at all costs, unless you love math! She is very fast paced and cares very little for the students who don't do as well in math. She gives many assignments that are hard to keep up with (online and in-book each week)... Don't do well on the first quiz, you might as well drop.
Would Recommend. She keeps you interested in the class and is willing to help outside of class
Lots of work, but I learned a lot.
I definitely would not recommend this professor to anyone! She doesn't explain material well at all, I ended up teaching the material to myself, which seemed easier. She doesn't seem interested in her students, and seemed more like the type to just show up for her paycheck. Just my impression but if you can avoid her, I would!
Has no empathy for mathematically challenged students. Expects one to come knowing a ton and insults u if u don't. If you are gifted then maybe tk her! Not personable either. I would not reccomend. If u tk her GET a tutor on the side. She has also has a smart mouth. We just left w/ a bad taste for her and math after that class. :(
this class was challenging for me, I passed with a C but I failed 1 exam and got D's on the others! There is alot of work, and she makes you do online quizzes that take forever sometimes, but in the end they help your grade. Tons of homework though, she is a good teacher but if you arn't all that great in math you will need extra help.
I dont understand why people are saying these things about her but i got an A in her class and this is my first math class everrrrr getting an A! I ususally get C's from math classes even when I study alot. She gives these online quizzes every week and you can take them as many times as you want and once you pass them they are automatically a 100%
Do not take this teacher if you have a lot of other harder classes or you have to work full time or even part time. She IS a good teacher, she just gives a lot of work. Here is your work load: 1 class quiz per week, 1 online quiz per week, 2 homeworks. 2 exams and 1 final. If you take her, you will learn algebra well.
Best teacher I've had so far....very helpful and clear...
I am no good when it comes to math and this teacher did not help. I've had great math teachers in the past but she is not one of them. I dropped her class... there was no way I'd pass.
Calc III was a struggle with this one. She is very scattered and unprofessional. Her planning goes like this: "Hmm, I think I'll teach these 3 sections today. Ok, class, I will now copy the 2 easiest examples from the book onto the board." LOTS of work, and unorganized lectures. Manageable class if you're a math person, otherwise, don't try it.
I took college algebra with this teacher. She knows the math backward and forward, and her notes shes gives are pretty good overall. Her quizzes are easy, but its the TA's who you want to use if you need help. Pretty easy to pass the class though.
I took her for college algebra. The workload is intense and if you don't stay on top of it, you'll pay for it. Go to class, it'll be easier for you in the long run. I learned a lot in her class but it was definitely intense. Rely on your TAs a lot!
She is tuff but good. She is late everyday so no need to rush to class. Lots of homework, online quizzes, and written quizzes. You need to come to class and do all the work to pass and if you do what is expected of you, you will be fine. I would take her again, she is a very good professor. I got a B+. Try to take her small lecture class.
very nice lady. lot of work!! take notes use her for help bc she helps out alot! online quizes dont wait till the last min or you will regret it! this is a class you have to study for or you will not pass!
This class was hard for me. I passed by going to the TA and getting help with homework. There is a lot of homework for this class. At least two chapters of Online quizes, in class quizes, and written book HW was due EVERY friday. OVerall Prof. Dedeo was good at teaching the material but the class is still hard.
Nice, helpful, & friendly. Lectures were very structured, which I value highly. Provided a lot of examples in class. Homework and tests would have been extremely hard if she hadn't. Only complaints: there was a ridiculous amount of homework each week & she was at least 5 minutes late every day & held class over at least 5 minutes every day.
very helpful. does give quite a bit of homework but gives enough time to complete it and then some. very helpful, just stop by her office. explains things clearly and doesn't waste time on parts of the class that will not be used in calc 3. highly recommended
college algebra is an easy class..all review from highschool..she lectures on mw and u have hw due and quiz on fri..alot of work.. and she made alot of the concepts more difficult to understand than they had to be..but if u did decent in hs ..u will probably do better in this class
This class, yes, has alot of work...but hello its college. And, the exercises only HELP! The lectures are to the point and clear. she does not mind if you stop her and ask questions(which i do ALOT of!) you have to pay attention, No texting!!! she speaks very clear and gives plenty of examples. I would def take her again!!!!
I took this teacher for College Algebra and it was math overload! She has in class quizzes/homework every monday and computer quizzes due every Friday (sometimes the online quizzes at up to 5 at a time). Her class goes super fast but is still VERY helpful so ATTEND CLASS! Howerver, I learned most of my stuff throught the computer program.
Dedeo made this class so much easier than other precal classes. Her test questions are taken directly from her notes. One problem is that she only gives a few questions for each quiz/exam so it's easier to do bad. The book was constantly used for homework (there was alot of it) and a quiz every week. She's alway a few minutes late to class.
Foundations: Avoid if possible! Crappy book. She lectures from the text and assigns a ridiculous amount of HW...not helpful. Tests do not represent bulk of the course material and she will nickel and dime you to death! Dedeo is so caught up in her own self delusion that she does not realize she is not a good prof.!
A student, to make sure I was prepared I studied 4 days prior to test day and night..test NOTHING like book problems...not that the book will help $$$,insta-fail from when you register. Although completing hw assignment make you feel good she doesn't grade but like 2%, don't let it get to your head, judgement day comes when the test is given.
I had her for Pre calc and her class was SO FAST PACED. If you havent ever done any trig or know your college algebra down pat, do not take this class, you will not understand ANYTHING. she assumes you know everything so she doesnt bother explaining the things she is teaching you in detail.
She teaches really well. Crystal clear teacher! She does assign a bit of work but in the end it helps your grade and helps you learn as well.
Students give professors bad ratings only because of their inability to grasp the concepts. I've also had her for Foundations and I think she's a talented teacher...especially in Number Theory..now I've had my fair share in bad test scores, but who is else is going to correct me?---thats how people learn. I definitely would take her again
...continued..The Foundations Book was a bit ambiguous to me at first..I wouldn't recommend it...but like I said...she's talented professor
Dr. Dedeo is a great teacher, who makes number theory as doable as possible. This class CAN be done without taking foundations. Her HW takes a while but test questions come straight from them. She will explain and answer questions during office hours for as long as you want. She doesn't get half as much credit as she deserves!
Dr. Dedeo is straight, her book hw you can bs and still get a good grade, and her online quizes are easy and count for 20% of your grade. There are 2 midterms and a final, the midterms are easy and if you have brakeout you get mini quizes that are easy. I would reccomend her.
I liked this teacher a lot. Even though the class was a lecture, I still enjoyed it. She is very clear when she teaches and she gives enough homework and quizzes to keep your grade up. Definately do the work otherwise you will probably fail.
She taught Calculus 3 a few semesters back and was terrible at it. She would work problems out and get different answers than the back of the book 50% of the time. Don't take a high level course with this lady she is bull craps her way through problems when explaining.
I had dedeo for college algebra and thought she was alright. Not the nest teacher I've had but certainly not the worst. If you put in the work the class isn't too hard. make sure you bought the right book before you open it! Find someone to do the online quizzes with because they are the biggest pain in the ass but an easy A once you complete them.
She has a passion for math and explained things throughly. Homework is due at the end of the week and quizzes are fairly easy. I would recommend her as a college algebra teacher!
Explains stuff throughly does plenty of examples in class. Homework and and quizzes on Fridays. Online quizzes are a PITA sometimes.
Dr. DeDeo is a great professor! She knows college algebra and the content well and does a good job explaining. The math breakout every Friday is when you turn in a quiz and homework. Easy A, as long as you pay attention, do the homework, and quizzes. I would recommend her for anyone! :)
Great teacher, she works with you as long as you put in the effort. I would recommend her to all my friends! One little tip is to do the online quizzes she gives you, they help you learn the material AND they can raise your grade a letter if you do them all. If I had done about 2 more I would have had a B lol.
This professor was really clear with the material she taught, and prepared us well for the tests. She was pretty easy going and made it easy to make a good grade for anyone that worked hard.
Great professor! really clear and is good at helping you understand the material. Gives a lot of homework but if you do it all you will get an A on all the quiz's and the class in general! take her!
She is very clear when she teaches. Make sure you take notes and go to class everyday (attendance is not mandatory). Overall great teacher
She is one of the coolest professors. However, she is not the easiest. She will give you a lot of homework, a quiz every week, and exams that are nothing like the practice problems. She is willing to help you the best she can though.
Insane amounts of homework and computer quizzes that hardly ever coincide with the lesson. She has to make special notes in class on how to do the problems for the computer quizzes, and then how to do them on her quizzes. Constant he-said she-said between her and the TA's on quiz content and partial credit, your grade will suffer in the crossfire
Great class for people who need to learn Algebra. Lots of homework, and computer quizzes can be rough but they are pass/fail with unlimited tries. My previous math grades were bad and I may get an A in this class. If you know Algebra well, this class may have to much extra work but it helped me a ton. TA's vary I think Ningbo was great!
A good amount of homework due every week the same day as the quiz. Its only necessary to show up for quiz/exam days. I showed up every day and still struggled. More helpful during office hours or is willing to help if you ask for it.
I would really recommend taking her class. She has a clear showing of interest in helping everyone succeed. If you go to class (although you don't have to), you do the homework, and study well then this class will be a breeze.
Had this professor for number theory, which happens to be her specialty. She was very knowledgeable in the subject and always willing to review and help. I took it over the summer so the only grades were tests and homework but overall a great professor.
Dr. DeDeo tries her best to be helpful, which she is, but the material is naturally difficult. Her lectures can be a little unorganized at times, but if you go to office hours, she'll be glad to clear up any confusions.
She gives good, understandable notes. We had book assignments and computer assignments due at the end of every week. Go to class and do all of your assignments and you'll do well.
I would rather drive off a cliff than do math but this professor was actually willing to help. The material was difficult but her teaching is very clear (good handwriting too. Although she gives a ton of homework and weekly quizzes, if you try you'll do fine,
Best math teacher I've ever had. Really wants her students to pass. Go to class, take notes, and you will. Quizzes every week which are easy if you do a little studying. Available for help. Take her finite math for an interesting class and doable class if you want an A or B. Do the homework too
DeDeo is a pretty good professor. She goes fast and doesn't review for tests/quizzes, but when math is only two days a week in college, that should be expected. She gives a good amount of homework, but if you go to office hours (HIGHLY suggested) and pay attention in class, it'll be okay. She gives so much partial credit, so show your work!
Great Professor. Clearly written notes. Lots of homework. Attendance optional (GO TO CLASS!!!). Exams were extremely difficult (7-10 questions with multiple parts for each). Only two exams before the final. Weekly quizzes and HW due on quiz days normally. Dedeo wants her students to succeed, but this class was very difficult for me still.
Dr. Dedeo is one of the best professors I've taken. She is extremely clear during her lectures and is always willing to help her students. There's quite a bit of homework, but it's important to complete. I wish she taught calc for business because I would absolutely take her class again!
HUGE on extra credit! Pretty funny, fun, best office hours. Highly recommended
I took this professor for College Algebra. I had a solid math background before enrolling in this class and that's what helped me get an A, not the professor. During one class, she left class after students asked her questions about how she solved a problem on the board. She belongs in a lab not a classroom. There are better professors out there.
Dr. DeDeo is absolutely amazing!! She gives clearly written notes and is a huge help in office hours. She believes in me more than I could ever believe in myself and is the reason I'm a math major. Tips: do the homework early, go to office hours, and show your work on the exams--she's HUGE on partial credit. She's awesome! Take her!!
I really liked her as a person, however I did not like her teaching style. I wish she had a better book picked out to go along with the criteria. It wouldnt match the lectures well, or the tests. So I feel like the material was hard to learn Bc I was not getting accurate practice. I also did not like how she lectured. Lots of words and few example
Went into the final with a C+, got out with a D. She doesn't utilize canvas, so the class was never published. She was late to class often and blamed traffic. Her lectures are just her doing math examples in a monotone voice. She gives you a date-and-times sheet at the beginning of the semester - don't trust it, she'll change things. Don't take.
I would not recommend for anybody to take a statistics class with DeDeo. The lectures consisted of reading off of a slide rather than working through problems (which was recommended to her). Almost all of the learning was done through the stat lab, lectures were very pointless. Homework assignments took around 3 hours each.
such nice prof omg. if you need anything, talk to her and she will most likely help you. the class time is super boring bc it is strictly lecture-based and she makes the content a lot harder than it is but go to the PASS sessions. it is mandatory to attend PASS but it will also be a lifesaver. The homework amount is also super insane. 3 exams btw.
Some students would have to come into class to take exams [midterm & final] while at work. Many pages of homework. The exams would have been easier if the professor told the students what kind of problems would be on them, instead she left you pages of theorems and expected you to memorize. Showed up late to class every lecture. Don't take trust me
I enjoyed the clear, concise explanations of the course topics. Her passion for math is evident in her lectures. She is very responsive and knowledgeable of the material. Although it was challenging, I learned a lot. Just do the work. On UNF's site, 20 of her last 22 classes scored over 4 out of 5 with high response rates. I highly recommend her.
EXTREMLY HELPFUL!!! She genuinely wants you to pass and gives you ample time to submit things. If you wanna put in the effort, then she will make sure you pass!
Generous with homework extensions. Horrible at support- if stuck on lesson you will remain stuck unless you figure it out yourself. Problems: make the material seem a lot easier then you will actually be quizzed on or was rushed. Web Assign for homework is the worst. EXAMS HONORLOCKED. Weekly homework is easy grade.
HORRIBLE at support. VERY lazy. Does not help students when struggling and allows you to struggle. Does not inform you WHATSOEVER for the final exam and will give you homework on exam day. Back to back homework thru the year. No extensions. Easy note taking grade but that's about it. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. I was so disappointed.
Tough class with an insane workload. She had to give redo sheets multiple times for midterms due to the class's overall grade dropping so far. The average for the exams being 50s and 60s no student scored higher than an 85 or so on the first midterm. She refuses to make study guides and expects students to guess what content will be on exams.
Prof. DeDeo is super nice and understanding, I had some problems with the software and understanding the material while I had her but she was always quick to help and was very lenient with deadlines. She cared more that we learned and passed than making her class really hard-- she wanted to make sure everyone passed. Respect 10/10
Great teacher, wants everyone to succeed and will give you ample opportunities to bring your grade up. Only downside is you have to handwrite all notes that go along with the lecture.
I took the online version of calculus and there's two midterms and a final. The course is EXTREMELY homework heavy, usually with two-three web assignments and a written homework consisting of anywhere from 30-60 questions due every week. There is also a quiz usually every week. She is very kind though.
Best Math Class I've ever had Way better Online Homework heavy which was fine because I needed the practice maybe 3 to 8 hours every week Provides study guides, pass sheets, detailed videos of how to do each problem notes and recordings posted after every lesson Super fast response time Gives partial credit Taking her again next semester
Save yourself the trouble.
Tough course with heavy workload, but prof is helpful if you engage. Use unstuck study alongside PASS sessions to ace the exams.
Worst teacher I have ever taken, online zoom class and would call students out for staring at their blank test paper for too long. Lectures were confusing and all over the place. Said there would be retakes on the 2nd midterm but then said she wasn't doing them because the 1st was too much to grade after we had already taken it. Take someone else.
A wonderful professor! Her assignments were easy to understand since she provided notes to follow along with. Do be aware that she has assignments due every Thursday and Sunday, but I thought they were easy to complete and I normally struggle with math. The quizzes/tests were also very easy and gave you 3 attempts per question. I would take again!
