She gives clear notes,examples and that is all you will have to study, but you better know that by heart, because it is her way or no way! If you get an A on the final you get an A in the course! No questions asked! She gives a lot of room for improvement

As a teacher myself, I am reluctant to heap negativity on a colleague, but my statistics class with this professor was nightmarish.

This professor clearly has issues. Instead of teaching more than one way to come to a solution, it's either her specific way or no way at all. May the student beware! When students would ask for help, her response would be "that's what the math lab is for." Unhelpful and controlling. Avoid her.

In all fairness Professor Whitener is not a bad teacher. She is very methodic and she teaches math the way she learns it. Everything is systematic!I've taken MAT051 three times before I had her in summer session I 2005. I finally passed the COMPASS, but failed the departmental final. Her notes are great and she wants you to understand math.

Listen, you get an A on the final you get an A in the course. Yes, she request you to be more organized in math but ask yourself how many of us are and how long do you think it takes a math professor to grade one paper. Once you learn her style it's an easy A.

There was no way that I was able to get Professor Whitener, even with the tests, the paragraph, the exams, and the quizzes. Because I took MAT 056 under her, my GPA was not messed up when I failed it. But when I took it again under a different professor in the summer, I barely passed it with a C+. Try to avoid her if you can.

Absolutely the worst prof ever. Avoid her like the plague. Does not answer questions either in class or during office hours. Actually she does answer questions during office hours - her standard answer to ANY question is ask the tutor. If you ask a question during class she gets angry with you.

Unless you're a natural in math, do NOT take her class! She doesn't follow the text book and doesn't give any time for questions, nor does she give any examples of the subject. Copying her notes from the board is all you do in class. Doesn't give any HW either. This is a waste of money and your time!!!

This was by far the worse Professor I ever had, the way she teaches is just horrible. She always finds her way off topic with irrelevant stories that most of the time makes no sense. Also she puts her students down , you ask a question and she tries to make you seem dumb and uneducated, she is veryyyy sarcastic. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!AVOID IT!!!

The comments here are not fair for the professor. She may not give classes in a regular way but she values clarity, completeness and accuracy. She said most of the mistakes resulted from skiiping steps,which was absolutely correct. I built up the ability to look into details and follow steps. I got an A and this was the most valuable A I have had

I took her summer 13 and I can say only one person out of the entire class of 12 students got an A. She is very specific and takes points away for even a missing comma. She will not allow you to correct her or ask questions. There's also her "get an A on the final get an A in the class" trick that well, if you're having a lot of trouble wont work.

Got A in physics and B+ in statistics. I took her class 'cuz I thought students here were being spoiled, WRONG! "Word for Word" she always says that if you don't do it like that you don't get points. The only reason why I took her is cuz I'm changing my major to science and I need cal but she doesn't know how to teach! it's all memorizing to her

She doesn't teach! she just copies from her notes to the board. She DOES NOT answer any question, if you ask she will tell you to look in the notebook and that if you copy from the board yowl know. She makes you memorize definitions and write them in a test WORD FOR WORD and if you miss one word you lose all the points.

If you have a good memory, go right ahead and take her class, she expects you to remember terms more than the actual math. She is one of the professors that you know you are going to have a tough time with. She expects you to remember the definitions word for word, including commas and periods. I had to drop within the first week of class.

This professor is TOUGH, be prepared for a quiz every time that you see her and PAY ATTETION IN CLASS because that will be the only way that you will understand her lessons. I honestly believe that if you pay attention, go to class and study; you will pass the final without any problems! no homeworks, she only asks you study your notes!

I only spent one week in her class and that was too much. She rambles on things that take up time and if you ask her a question, she questions how you got so far in life. If you don't answer, it's the same response. She even took up 45 minutes of the class on something that didn't involve the course and had a fit when the students wanted to learn.
