Very easy to follow her lectures. Notes are easy to take; just copy down exactly what she writes on the board. If you pay attention and ask questions when you don't understand something, she will work to clarify until you understand. She's very helpful and even lets you retake missed exam questions for more credit (which lead to higher text grade).

Mrs. Taylor is definitely a dedicated teacher, she works with her students as hard as she can. However, she seems to be a new teacher (she doesn't have much presence) but that's ok, it will grow on her. The class was very confusing to me but I think she's ok.

To cut to the chase, I HATE MATH. Prof Taylor has to be the sweetest most caring professor ever, but I still got a "D". This is my own fault, show up, DO THE HW!!! and take the tests, she even lets you do test corrections on occasion and sometimes opens up hw that was due so that you can go back and correct it.

I love this teacher. She is so sweet and there to help you not fail you, but of course you do have to put in the work. There is a lot of HW and extra credit for tests which I am SO GRATEFUL for. She will give you credit if you show your work on tests. Does Zoom reviews often which are great. Makes herself available to review. positive, encouraging

I would recommend. The mymathlab is a pain so you cant procrastinate on that but it is not always assigned. About 1-2 homeworks a week, usually 10 questions that are easy but must show work. Tests are much different then what is taught but it is not on honorlock. not a ton of tests. also extra credit test corrections n reflections help a ton.

Professor Taylor is an amazing math professor. She makes math very easy and holds zooms 3 times a week for questions or clarification. She is lovely and genuinely cares for her students. She allows test corrections and gives fairly easy assignments to boost your grade. I cannot recommend Professor Taylor enough.

Did it online and I really enjoyed it. Her recorded lectures include plenty of examples and are easy to understand whether you're great at math or need practice. Take notes, crucial for exams.

This class was very light in terms of stress. All homework is on MyMathLab, and the tests can be easy to get through with a few difficult questions at the end. She does grade scratch work, but not heavily. She has office hours every week that you are free to attend via Zoom, and you can pretty much just self-teach in this class.

Mrs. Taylor is a good person, she seems like she wants to help and shows herself available. But you will have some LONG homework, and you will have to buy a $100 link that you can't use for other classes. I am not sure if all teachers require that, but just a heads up. Self taught like most online classes, but I used the math center and it helped.

Such a sweet professor! She assigns many HW about each chapter, which was helpful to become skilled in solving the exercises and LEARNING. She grades quickly and provides lectures, notes, and worksheets before tests. A test for every 2 chapters, and you have to upload the scratch paper where you solved the exercises. Optional zoom sessions.

My experience with this professor is not great. When I reached out to her I would either get no response or a very short one. I never received my final exam back to see what I got wrong and why which was very frustrating since it was handwritten and hand graded. I did well on all of the homework and assignments, but tests were always more difficult
