Beware the stinson, her maden name was Chae she is still listed as Chae.

Worst teacher ever... she barely knows english...On tests she looks for things that are wrong instead of giving you the benefit of doubt. she expects you to remember all math that you have ever learned before.

Where to get started. Some of the weak points: thick (Korean?) accent makes it hard to understand her, ridiculously arbitrary grading policy (she spends time to find specific things to mark you down for, even reducing fractions), mandatory homework, and the good old easy review/hard test trick. Good points: good hygeine. AVOID HER IF YOU CAN.

Like Nancy Reagan said "Just say no"

This teacher was the worst teacher that I have had at olympic college! I attended everyday did all the homework I even went to the math lab 2-3 times a week I still failed and she told me that tutoring wasn't helping me understand anything! She is rude and fails to realize that others have lives out of school

Online class. Hands down worst experience I have ever had with a college instructor. Would not recommend to anyone under any circumstances.Not helpful at all, teaches nothing, expects everything, was rude to some students.

This class is horrible! She is very useless and doesnt help you with anything. She tests you on stuff she didnt even teach you in class or you didnt do in the HW. Beware of this class. Dont take it. Im saving you from being miserable.

Do not take Math 107 online. You do all the homework, then you get the paper tests and the questions have nothing to do with what youve learned, and you can't find examples of how to solve problems. The book is horrible, with no examples, and Stinson was no help. This was the worst experience.

This has been the worst class I have ever taken! She makes no sense in class, is always unprepared, grading is unjust, tests are not on topics discussed in class, is not willing to help you, generally uninterested.. She should not be a teacher! This was a nightmare for 90% of the class. Unless you know java already, don't take her!

The previous comments are true; she's HORRIBLE. The midterm heavily impacted our grades, yet most students stated they didn't even learn most of the material on it. She finds the most MINISCULE errors in our assignments and marks us down too much for them. Most of what I know from the class, I taught myself from the book. Avoid her if you can!

Routinely refuses to answer questions, says "its not my job". Be prepared to teach yourself out of the horrible excuse for a text book and be insulted every time you show up to mandatory classes.

I'm currently taking Professor Stinson for Stats, online. If you are able to teach yourself, then this is the way to go. I took this Professor for Precalculus, she was the worst teacher I've ever had. She doesn't speak english well, and could care less if you are understanding the material. Avoid her!

she is the worst teacher i have ever had. she doesn't give very thorough notes and she is very hard to understand since she does not speak english very well. she also grades every mistake. all the other comments are true. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!!!!!

This teacher is awful. She's hard to understand (heavy Asian accent) and assigns work that is from an online source which is completely unrelated to the textbook. She also does NOT help whatsoever -- if you ask for help, she'll just say "This is wrong" but refuses to help you correct it and instead gives you a look that says "You're stupid".

WORST TEACHER IMAGINABLE! She does not care whether you pass of fail. The homework is 100% different than the tests, and then the final is a completely different story than the quizzes, homework, and tests. I am warning you now; do not take this teacher if you want any grade higher than a C. I made the mistake of taking Stinson again after Precalc,

I am currently taking her class. People are afraid to ask questions because she will make you feel stupid!On the first day of class she took attendance and kicked one student out of class because he got lower than a 2.5 in his last math class. I understand school policies but she didnt have to announce that he failed in front of everyone.How rude!

I started off my class with her as a professor and learned quickly she has a very subjective outlook where she is right and you're wrong (going to fail.) Along with all the other comments on the campus about her and now seeing this website, I'm glad I dropped the class at the first red flag on a homework assignment dispute.

She doesn't even understand English or speak it well enough to be understood and constantly says things backwards. Her quizzes and tests were formatted weird and didn't make sense and she was no help at all.

One of the worst teachers I have ever had Although I took her class online I tried to go to her for help and emailed her constantly She wouldnt meet me outside of her office hours even though they didnt work for me she told me to email her, so I did and she was very unhelpful. I went to the tutor lab daily and will end up retaking the class again

Worst teacher I have ever had in my LIFE! She doesn't speak or understand English very well. She is extremely quiet (forget about sitting in the back of the class) this is the only class I have ever taken that I got less than a C in. Unless you know how to build java programs before you enter the class, D. Only thing I remotely learned from book.NO

Mayong Stinson is the worst instructor I have ever had. She is never available when she says she is going to be. You can NEVER get in touch with her if you have a question. If I could give any advice I would say DON?T TAKE HER CLASS!!! She is a terrible instructor!!!

I took her online class. And all I am saying is ?if it is going to take a week or more to get an e-mail of a phone call back from her, than maybe she really does not want to be a teacher?. I would never take a class of hers again. I would never advise any of my friends to take her class.

I'm thinking about dropping her class. She speaks very broken English and nods back smiling and not understanding what students are asking her. I'm a 3.5 College GPA student, and I feel like I am going to fail. Her class approach is very rapid, she talks the entire time. Then, it's completely up to you. No assistance is given. Good luck. =/

Ms. Stinson is one of those teachers who knows what she's teaching but doesn't interpret what she knows in a way the students can comprehend and grasp. Her methods in teaching is horrendous and not to mention she uses NO calculator at all. So when you need an accurate velocity rate you're screwed.

I took this class online and it was my worst nightmare. The professor was not helpful in anyway shape or form, even though she said she would help when asked, I even met with her in her office. Not recommended!!

Took the online course. Professor Stinson's program she used to teach is flawed and confusing, she's inconsistent when answering student questions and she didn't give us our final exam grades- I had to go the Dean. I'm all for challenging courses, but she makes this class extremely frustrating. Find a different professor if you can.

What a horrible instructor. The book was difficult to understand and she was even worse. The tests were nothing like the homework because she didn't just adjust numbers she rearranged the question into a context that was not taught. I learned more from the Tutor than from this teacher. Shame on OC for not offering a better choice of instructor.

I didn't like the way the instructor taught, she didn't even finish going over the chapters. I went to the math tutoring center a lot, and even though many couldn't help, the tutors who could were confused. The tests were confusing, the textbook wasn't helpful at all. I think OC should have chosen a better statistics teacher.

This was not a good teaching match for me. She went through all of the material very quickly and ended up making people feel stupid when they asked a question to better understand the material. Her English is very broken and hard to understand. I will not be signing up for ANY of her classes in the future.

She was terrible. She didn't understand our questions and she always glazed over things. She made is memorize very unnecessary things too.

Since Kindergarten I've gotten straight A's in EVERY math class I've ever taken. My overall grade was at 72% when I dropped out right after midterms. Her tests are horribly confusing. Only 1-2 students are able to finish the 3-4 pages in the 50min time period. Doesn't listen to feedback or understand questions. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

An absolutely horrible professor. She does not make any sense with her teaching, and will throw random questions that were never discussed into her tests. 90% of the class fails almost every test, and she gets defensive when questioned about her methods. She has literally stated, "I understand this, why can't you?" I learn more math from tutors.

Worst math teacher I've had. Very rude and condesending, also hard to understand due to a somewhat heavy accent. Tests are very limited on time and no calculator is allowed, even for basic arithmatic such as 65x14, when asked about using a basic calculator she said "if you don't have the basic arithmatic, go back to remedial classes... Rude.

OMG worst teacher of my life! had I known she couldn't teach I would have switched/dropped out with or without refund. made me feel so stupid. Always blamed the students. and her study guides were NOTHINGGGGGGGGGG like the actual test. i'd study for hours the chapter and study guide to only fail every freaking test. cried everyday after school.

WORST MATH TEACHER, EVER! She was NOT helpful in any way possible! I asked questions via email frequently, and got 3-5 word sentence reply. And when I had asked her about help understanding the material because I was working hard but my grade showed no improvement she replied "understand the material more and work harder" WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER!

She is an absolute joke of a teacher. I understand that cultural differences may warrant varying studying habits, but the second you ask students to study hard on their Thanksgiving break, something is wrong. Everything is online, while homework is managable, quizzes and tests are nothing preparable, even with hours of studying a week before.

The worst math class I have ever taken. I couldn't understand her, she had sloppy writing, she couldn't understand the questions her students would ask, no one finished tests on time, the test weren't relevant to the chapter,she is very disrespectful, she failed most of the class, people dropped like fly's, only math I haven't got a B in(D+)

Her high standards were her only redeeming feature. Awful, unclear lectures, could barley understand questions, and would skip steps when working problems on the board. 0/10

If at all possible don't take her! Because this was an online class I would email her with questions and besides her taking days to reply, when she did she was no help. I mentioned I wanted to withdraw from the class and she basically called me a quitter without knowing the reasons why. She is no help and I don't understand why she's still teaching

I TOOK MATH141 ONLINE WITH PROFESSOR STINSON AND SHE IS A TERRIBLE TEACHER. WHEN YOU ASK A QUESTION SHE TELLS YOU TO WATCH HER VIDEOS, WHICH ARE A MESS AND HARD TO FOLLOW. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO TAKE HER CLASS.

I TOOK THIS CLASS ONLINE AND IT WAS AWFUL. THE PROFESSOR IS NOT HELPFUL AND WHEN YOU EMAIL HER FOR HELPM, SHE TELLS YOU TO WATCH HER SLOPPY VIDEO LESSONS THAT ARE CONFUSING. I DO NOT RECOMMED ANYONE TO TAKE HER CLASS.

Couldn't understand her (heavy Korean accent). She gave a disproportionate period of time explaining unimportant material that wasn't on the quizzes, at the expense of necessary material. Homework was all online and due two to three hours after the daily class had ended. The only reason I'd recommended you take her class if if you were a masochist.

Avoid her if you can. She's not helpful. She says you can email her and she will respond in 24 hrs. Wrong, it would take a few days, and when she did rely the emails weren't helpful at all. Her grading system is confusing, you turn in written work for the quizzes, and have all correct answers but wouldn't receive full credit. Not a good professor.

An atrocious teacher. She doesn't respond to e-mails, doesn't answer the questions her students ask. Seems to love creating busy work for her students, and inundating them with assignments that are expected to be done at the same time.

She did not explain things well. She is hard to understand. Even though 99% of the work is done online she would get upset if we tried to leave class 4 minutes early. I will not be taking math with her again.

This professor is rude, I barley ever asked questions and when I did she was not nice about it. If you leave class early even like 4 minutes early she requires you to bring a note or she won't excuse it. The only reason I did good in this class was because it was all mostly online with ALEKS. Terrible teacher I do not recommend her to anyone.

NEVER TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I went to her office hours to ask for help, and she refused. She marks you down for every little thing. Her tests are nothing like what the book teaches, and the book is very useless as well. Do yourself a favor and avoid taking a class with her at all costs. I'm a 4.0 student who is good at math, this was my first B.

The expectations of this class are ridiculous. I spend at least 20 hoursweek on homework assignments and am still failing. Tests are out of this world crazy. There is no sympathy or help from the instructor. This is the worst class I've ever taken. No 100 level class should be this difficult. I give the instructor an F

Never failed a class before. This was my first class I've ever had to retake seriously hurt my gpa, you're basically teaching yourself math through the online book. She doesn't teach this class she just gives assignment dates. Spent at least 20hrs a week doing homework. Had an A on all homework and b's on quizzes and still failed. Don't do it.

terrible professor. Do not take!

Do not take any of her classes. Even hard working students won't pass. My class of about 30 students, has about 10 students who are hardly passing. Everyone else failed her class this quarter. Save your money and take a different teacher.

Never take a class with her if you struggle with math, I learned that the hard way. I had a 90% on homework, an 80% on quizzes and failed the class. Plus she never will email back even if you email her a few times in a row.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. Im doing great in her class, yet she is the one standing in the way of my grades. She marks you absent when your there, if class is canceled your still expected to be there..? She's great at math, but a HORRIBLE professor every way imaginable. Not helpful, broken English, wastes your time. Dont waste your time or $. HORRIBLE!

I thought she didn't care whether or not I learned.

By far the worst professor I have ever had , she can't speak clear English and she didn't tell anyone what day the final was so half of us missed the final , and when we all tried to contact her she doesn't answer any calls or emails . She was in no way helpful , a truly awful professor.

Terrible teacher. I took this class with the ALEX program and that is the only reason why I learned anything. Her lecture's are confusing and when asked for help her explanations are hard to follow. It was loud all the time and students argued with her almost everyday. If you even have to leave class 10 minutes early, she will dock points.

She was a hard teacher and talked down to you when you asked another student that understood the problems for help when she and the teacher's aid was busy. If you didn't do the homework like she wants then she marks you wrong even if you got the answer correct.

super mean , has no since of humor.

She will take off points wherever she can. If you don't write problems out exactly how she wants, you get 0's. I got an 86 on the final and received a 1.8 in the class. There's no extra credit and there are no free extensions, even if there are several snow days and you have no power. :) If she is your only option, wait a quarter.

I would never recommend this teacher to anyone, my class was on Aleks program where usually you go at your own speed and the teacher helps when needed... she gives many lectures about everything and talks 2/3 the whole class. your notebook better be perfect or definitely not passing the notebook check. could write so much more but out of characters

Steve (her assistant) was very nice, but she was not nice or understanding at all. I was late to class one day towards the middle of the quarter, and she didn't care that it was because I lived an hour and thirty minutes from school and it was snowing. I was only fifteen minutes late one time, but it affected a lot of my grade. Lots of homework.

I literally woke up every morning hoping I would get into an accident because I so badly did not want to go to this class and see this teacher. Save your sanity, take another teacher.

Worst teacher and class I have ever taken. I taught myself this quarter. She is only at the school to collect a paycheck. She does not care if you learn the subject matter. If you have a choice between her and anyone else, go with anyone else. Homework almost every day of the week and if there are website issues she doest care.

I am decent at math and had As in my math classes before this class. I understood it. I unfortunately fail d. She was awful at helping, and when she did teach (which was almost never) it was fast, and she often questioned herself, and some students even had to correct her. Her grading scales were harsh, and she didnt help me in any sort of way

Since I took the class online, I had to go to the school for the midterm and final. During the final, I had my hand on my lap and she walked over to me to tell me to put both hands on my desk then told me to give her my phone. I told her no and she took my paper and said you will receive a 0. Worst professor ever.

I have only been in her class for one day and I am already planning on switching. The homework she gives hardly matches with the lectures in class, and she only gives you one day after each lecture to complete multiple homework assignments. You have hardly any time to review material before due dates. I highly recommend avoiding this class.

HORRIBLE TEACHER !!! Took her Business Algebra class online and withdrew a couple weeks in. Something is due every other day and quizzes are due over the weekend. Unless you plan on having a tutor on standby 24/7 DO NOT TAKE! The book is as USELESS as the teacher. So, unless you are already a math wizard .. AVOID this class.

She is the worst professor I have ever had. Shes hard to get a hold of, shes hard to understand, she gives out weekly quizzes which don't correlate to the ALEKS program at all and, she expects the quiz work to be exactly like ALEKS teaches even if you learned it differently and got the answer right, she'll mark it wrong.

She is not that accessible as she says, I had emergency surgery and I let her know I was not in conditions to finish my homework in time, her answer was" try to do it by midnight, then ask me for an extension".. kind of hard when you are in a hospital bed. .....

Extraordinarily unhelpful and uncaring professor. When I experienced computer issues in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, she actually suggested that I use my family's stimulus check to "buy a new computer". The tests do not relate to the ALEKS work, weekly tests, and you MUST complete dedicate 12 hours a week to this one class. Pick anyone else

Quite honestly this is one of the worst experiences I have had thus far in college I have never seen a more unprofessional teacher she does not teach a thing and takes years to respond to a simple email with it being an online class she uses something called webasign which does a lot of her job for her and she wont give points back if the websit

She will refer you to the book when asking for help and mark you down on tests if you got the right answer but did not use the method she wanted to get there. She also will ignore you or not explain or assist you when asking specific questions not in the book, but on the homework.

I took the class online with no mandatory meetings and there wasn't till the test came which was not mentioned in the syllabus. I'm not the greatest test taker this was a surprise. This class is heavy on homework I had a tutor 24/7 that had to help me in this course on homework. When I asked for help she said to watch the video again not helpful.

You will teach everything yourself, any questions you have she refers you to her videos which are unclear. An ungodly amount of homework, tests are 70% of your grade. She can't mark you down on math problems in Aleks if you get it right. However, projects are 10% and she will grade you down for nothing. No clarity, a malicious and awful teacher.

I would recommend to steer clear away from Professor Stinson. I should have looked at the ratings for her before I took this course. Shes very hard to understand, and when asking questions, she is not helpful. Ive never had any bad experiences with teachers at Olympic college, up until now. Do not take this course with her!!!

I took her class over zoom and was having computer difficulties where my camera wouldn’t work and she would not give me points for participating even when I answered her. She did not understand that I couldn’t afford ALEKS at first and got mad at me.

The exams and quizzes have questions that are nowhere close to what we learn during class, and we can't use calculators. We have to complete an ALEKS chapter in 2 days each week, so you never have time for other class work. Attendance is graded as well. I recommend that you take a different professor, because you'll just get set up for failure.

She is completely inflexible. Exams were scheduled on my work days and she was not willing to accommodate. Tests are timed with a completely inadequate amount of time. I explained it takes me longer because of my attention deficit and she degraded me and told me student access was needed with a medical diagnosis for her to consider more time.

Myong is essentially a $600 narrator of a book. Do not take her class

She does not know how to teach well. I asked her for help and all she did was repeat what the question said on the HW, like obviously I read the question, I just didn't understand how to do it. She also doesn't give enough time for tests. Instead you have to rush through, so you end up messing up, and she doesn't give retakes or extra credit work.

I would avoid taking her as a teacher. This has been such an awful experience. There as a lot of homework that doesn't count for much overall, tests and paper tests. The online tests she doesn't give enough time to do them in my opinion. I study for hours and get mid 70s for grades on these tests. She should either give more time on tests.

I've never had an issue with a math class until I took Professor Stinson. She's difficult to understand and she gets her own material wrong and has to ask the class if she's correct or not. I recommend any other math professor at OC over her. Your chance of passing will be exponentially greater if you do.

Graded my test a 0 because the teacher didn't scroll down where my answers and work were at. Teacher lacks effective communication and misunderstands a lot even if writing is as clear as possible. After a long chain of emails (of about 10), they finally got what I was trying to say.

This class was horribly put together. Multiple different programs to navigate, ridiculously unreal expectations with 6-8 hrs of work EVERY DAY! She is impersonal & obviously doesn't care about the students and ruining their GPAs. I wrote to the Dean of Math so hopefully no one else has to go through this! DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS FROM HER!!!

I would not take any of her classes. You're pretty much on your own the whole quarter. Tests (which are ridiculously hard, and you can't find any help online) count for most of your grade.

This is Math 99. The workload is expected to be math 489 and the Professor's quality of work is Math 00001. Avoid at all costs, and I do not believe Professor Stinson is worthy of teaching at any school. TLDR; Avoid at all costs. Do not take a Math or Sociology class with Professor Stinson. If I could give this a negative 10,000 rating,

Extremely difficult to communicate with. Each test is three different parts. Practice test, online test, and paper test. Paper test rarely covers same material as online teachings. When asked for help, she says to watch videos and try harder.

I was super excited to take an online class. But unfortunately, I did not read the ratings of this professor and my first email response from her was very dismissive and didn't really answer what I asked. So I dropped the class after reading all these horror stories.

I took this class online. It was as if she were speaking another language. When I reached out for help, she had zero empathy for a struggling student.

This professor was probably the worst grader I have ever experienced. The smallest error would result is loss of points and points would be take for seemingly no reason with no explanation. Additionally tests had questions that were not in the homework at all and had never been taught in class at all. Problems and instruction were not clear at all.

Doesn't seem to care about struggling students, when asked for help she said to try harder and watch the videos. I explained the videos were hard to watch because the person in the video kept making mistakes and then she became very aggressive and rude when talking to me.

I would never take her class again. Terrible communication and terrible teaching. It was an online class and when asking for help, she never helped nor seemed to care.

Beware. I had to go to E.R for health emergency requested exemption for late hw. I know I have 50 late passes but letting u know. NO. Wife's grandmother died stayed at wife's family home away 2 hours away, wife destroyed missed deadline messaged teacher and still given late penalty. Very tough grader. Very rude. Lack of compassion. Do not recommend

When I signed up for this class, I was excited to be able to take math from home because I have never really needed help from teachers in person. When it came to this class though I found myself struggling a little. I asked her for help, and she proceeded to not be helpful. She just told me to watch the videos. FYI: The videos are not helpful.

Took an online math class to be able to maintain my work schedule and work around it, however this quickly became my new 'full time job.' I spent every night at the tutor center. Don't bother asking for help from her. Multiple times the material she was teaching was wrong or she back tracks. On average hour long lecture videos 4X a week with hw.

Her videos made no sense, as well as when I would email her, she would be rude and short. Expect at least 2-3 quizzes and tests each week, along with multiple long homework assignments. this is by far the lowest grade I have ever gotten in a math class because math is my strong suit.

This was a difficult class to take online. I was not a fan of the online textbook or videos. You are not allowed to use the forum online to post questions if you need help on problems. Expect to get much tutoring help.

There are no tags to even add for this professor. The ones I would use is "unhelpful", "doesn't help you succeed", and "doesn't tend to be helpful". If you can't tell, she is not helpful. Whenever I needed help and emailed her, she said "watch the videos". SOOOO unhelpful. I am happy to say she retired!
