I hate the fact that for the H.W we have to write down the whole question. Gives H.W. quizzes to check if u do your H.W. No calculators allowed. She goes fast when teaching. covers from 1-2 sections a day during summer session. She is very helpful. My suggestion to her is to be more energetic or happy, since she's always serious when teaching.

She is a wonderful professor. Her teaching style is clear and understandable.

I am currently taking Ms. Panchal for Honors Stats and I must say I LOVE HER CLASS! I can't stand math but she makes the subject matter comprehensible. the key to success is: do your HW, do the study guide(which closely resembles the exam), and if you have any questions ASK!

What an EXEPTIONAL professor!! Took 6am class in winter, she covered a lot quickly but made math easy to understand with CLEAR lectures. She wont move on until you understand. Very willing to answer questions when you dont. Uses MathXL for homework. Homework problems are harder than quizzes/tests so do your homework!! Drops lowest quiz/test.

You do have to put in the individual time to understand the material, but she does go over it in class before the assignment are due. The book is not required because she will require you to purchase Mathxl which will go through the problem step by step. Drops lowest quiz and test. I was not good at math before taking this class.

I don't recommend taking her Hybrid class. I need to have a full time class lecture where I can understand the problems and ask the professor questions I may have in person, not through a computer. It is also difficult because you have to find the answers to your questions in the book and it can get frustrating when you don't understand a problem.

She is the BEST math prof I have EVER had. I have taken Stats before, &dropped it. I suffer from math anxiety, and her clear lessons and her patience really helped! But she is very good and doesn't use the book so you don't have to spend the money on the book. The tests are NOT surprises! you get tested on the study guide. Would DEF recommend.

Professor Panchal is a very supportive teacher. Tests are in person. Not proctored. She drops your lowest test grade. She doesn't offer much extra, but when she does it'll count as a test grade. Homework is graded based on completion not if it's correct. The lectures are recorded and you can look back at them. Overall, Dr Panchal is very supportive

Most of your grade will come from Exams and Quizzes (60%-65% of your grade). However, if you do the homework, ask questions, take advantage of tutoring and office hours, you will do great. Each exam has an extra credit problem at the end you can do. Do the homework, participate, study, you will do great. Professor Panchal is a great professor.
