be prepared to do alot of work. moves along fast, need to pay attention and attend every class. hang in there gets a little easier as the class goes along. she says the tests cover everthing she goes over, but the test aren't that bad
Great Prof very very helpful
SWEET
Class moves along pretty quickly after the first week or so, but she hands out lots of study sheets, and gives a practice test before, then a key after, each test so you can figure out what's going wrong. VERY nice and willing to help even the dumbest kid
Ms. Eschen is a wonderful instructor. Do not go into this class and not expect to work. She will help you in any way possible but you have to do the work. Very sweet!
Went to fast during class. I went to her for help but was very unorganized.
She is an awesome teacher. I ended up with a B in her class. Like another poster had said before, she makes you work, but it helps a lot. The test to me were very easy.
she's the best maths teacher i've ever had!
Excellent teacher, probably one of the best math teachers, except she is a little on the hard side......
Excellent Professor. She is very clear on explaining things, but like other people have said you have to work for your grade. She is very helpful, if you do not understand it, she will go out of her way to excplain it.
I am a math idiot, and I got an A. I have taken her twice hybrid and was pleased both times. It is a lot of work but she is willing to bend over backwards for her students.
she was very helpful, but sometimes her explantations confused me. she was so nice, would help you with anything. she gave out quiz & test keys, study guides, everything. 1 thing i noticed was her tests were hard as hell & her lecture was too easy 4 th
I took Eschen for Algebra, Trig, and Precalc. All other teachers should be like her.
I'm very math illiterate. I took Eschen for College Algebra, got a B and PreCalc and got an A. She is a wonderful, caring lady & an excellent teacher. She's very soft spoken so try to sit up front! :)
very easy, she explains everything very well. Always willing to help and explain. tests easy too.
too fast
Very nice teacher. The class is somewhat easy for everyone. Class gets a little boring because she is constantly talking.
Took her for college algbra and precalc exelent techer her willingness to help was amazing, let me turn in something late even though she had said first she wouldnt, and her in class groups make it eaier to get help from other students who understand
Great prof! Ms. Eschen is awsome. Explains well, will help you with whatever you need. Great person! Take Ms. Eschen!
I TOOK MRS. ESCHEN 4 INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD ALGEBRA AT ALL BEFORE HER CLASS. SHE MADE IT EASY. SHE IS A GREAT TEACHER, THEY SHOULLD BE LIKE HER. P.S. NEVER TAKE ANY HIGHER WITH A MAN 4 A PROFESSOR THE SUCK AT EXPLAINING IT, ESPECIALY MR.MOORE STAY AWAY FROM MALE MATH TEACHERS
This professor is very bias. She will let certain people retake a test, but not others.Highly recommended taking someone else. She make you do hm and turn it in and grades it for correctness.
Sweetest. Lady. Ever. And a great teacher to boot.
She is a good teacher but she rushes through subjects really fast. You might have two minuets left in class and she feels that is time enough to cover another section. If you are a speed writer and don't mind having to learn on your own this is the class for you. Good Luck!
Great teacher, I reccommend her for Calculus. SHE KNOWS HER STUFF, and willing to help. She gives you a review sheet and test questions are very similar! Prof. Eschen has left me with a great understanding of Cal 1. Do the work and get an A AND take with you a great understanding of the material.
She is a wonderful Professor with a great ability to push her students to achieve success. The only students who struggled were those not willing to do the homework or study. You will be comfortable with the material at the end and prepared for the next level.

Great great teacher. She's by far the sweetest lady ever. take her, respect her.
easiest class ever. just do some hw before the test and ull be fine. the final was freakin multiple choice!!!! all u had to do was plug in one of the choices for x in ur calculator. hahaha
She's a great prof. and deserves a pepper.
Mrs. Eshen is a really good teacher. To teach, you need two things: To know how to teach, and know the stuff you are teaching and she has both. I highly recommend her as a teacher she is awesome!!!
She is a truly sincere professor with a ambition to see her students succeed.
This woman needs to cut back her class schedule and extra curricular activities, because it is affecting her teaching abilities. She is aloof and needs a semester off..badly!! I can see that she is genuinely trying, and respect that..but her mind is not into it like her heart is...she's overworked and overwhelmed...my whole class would back me up
Lovely lady, but her exams are not easy. Do not even bother to study her practice Exams, they are not anything alike her Exams. She does try to teach, but she is very confusing. I do not recomend her for any calculus class.
didn't know what she was talking about, more than half the time the class had to correct her on what she was writing/doing because she was so out of her element. did everything too quickly and didnt allow enough time for us to actually learn the material. she is, however, a very nice lady. just not that good of a teacher to have.
nice lady, but I would NEVER take her again! goes over multiple lessons in one day, expects that you know everything, has stupid online quizes that she reminds you about one time, tests are really hard, even if you study, and NOBODY in the math lab can help you when you have a question... DO NOT TAKE THIS LADY unless your a math wiz!
Would recommend anyone to take her. Very clear. Does require alot of outside work (i.e. quizzes and online quizzes) but do all the work and you'll get a good grade. Is easy to talk to for help and will take personal time to explain it to you. Started out bad in class and studied and pulled off an A.
A great professor; explains things very clearly and goes over problems step by step.She also gave us most of the in-class quizes home and made the final test multiple choice. I recommend her to everyone.
Professor Eschen was very helpful. I would highly recommend her. The practice tests are helpful, and her tests are very fair. Math is my worst subject and I got an A in her class. If you do the work you can get a good grade.
a nice teacher and all that, but don't take unless you already know everything about whatever class you're taking. if you are relying on learning anything new in this class, you're better off finding someone else. no offense to her, but its just too difficult unless you already know what you're doing.
This class was pretty easy. I thought she explained things well, & she is really nice & patient if you have questions. If you do homework then the tests seem pretty easy. I got an A.
Pretty good teacher overall
Very Hard Teacher. Gives u hw and quizes on things she does not go over. no study sheets. goes over mulitple lessons a day. The worst teacher i ever had and i have been here for 2 years. Last time ill take her.
the best math teacher i've had in college!!
I like Eschen. While she was a little floaty, she was approachable and helpful. She made her class notes available and offered pretests to study for each exam. She breaks the class into groups - usually group work is a joke, but she used it effectively. I would not recommend her if you are going beyond calc 1, as she could be more rigorous.
She wasn't very clear on anything and she moves REALLY fast. If you don't grasp math very quickly, don't take this class. She was nice and is willing to talk to you after class. She seems a little spacey and isn't very organized, she misplaced a few of my quizzes. Tests count for EVERYTHING.
One of my only B's in a math class, and I'm a math tutor. I know the subject well now, and she was just not an easy teacher. Very monotone, but kind-hearted. Will help u if she can. Trig-A,Precal-B,Calc I-A,Calc II-A, Calc III-B, Diff. Eqn.-A
A bit hard to understand at first, but soon you'll catch on to her teaching style. If you're falling behind or need some extra help, she really is the best teacher to go to. But you need to show up to class, because just missing one day can really hurt you.
She is the worst teacher I have ever had! She doesnt review for upcoming tests. She doesnt review or answer questions. She is by far the worst teacher I've had EVER!
Had to drop, she goes way to fast and her quizes and tests have problem examples not found anywhere,Nice lady but horrible teacher, you need to be really good at math to survive her class. I didnt like the group work either because it puts you on the spot and can be frustrating. She makes a lot of mistakes also. Do not use this instructor!!!!!
she was a great teacher! i would recommend her to everyone! esp if you do mathlab with her.. she always keeps her homework open so you can make a 100 no matter what!you get atleast 3 attempts on quizes! very helpful and will help you anytime you need it! if you forgot to do a quiz or somesort of somthing due she will give you more time! i loved her
Take this class. Mrs. Eschen is very caring. She is willing to help you outside of class. But be prepared to work! The class is not easy. There are lots of resources such as MyMathLab, videos, and notes online.
she was a very good teacher.. her test were really hard but we used mathlab so that was good. we had all semester to finish mathlab i failed all the test and still passed the class =]
She is a great teacher. She explains everything until you can understand it in full. She also gives you extra time on homework. She will have study groups outside of class to go over material that is covered in the chapters she goes over. She let you make extra points on tests that you did poorly on. She is a very helpful teacher. The BEST!
Excellent teacher! As someone who has hated math for my whole life, I wasn't looking forward to this class at all, but she is so energetic and willing to help that it was actually a fun class. You have to work hard, but she explains things so thoroughly that if you don't pass it's because you didn't try. Highly recommended!
Definitely helpful, and takes a lot of interest in students. Sometimes speaks a little over students' head, but you have to get through that by asking more questions if you don't understand. The workload is huge, although it is a 5 credit-hour class.
Prof Eschen, Is not a bad teacher, I guess in person if taking her class in the classroom. I recommend you do not sign up for a Math class online if you are not good at Math. You will be just wasting your money for this classes. Just save your money and enroll for the classroom portion.
This teacher is wonderful! she is very helpful. she will stay after class and help you if you don't understand anything. her work is easy if you pay attention. she always give practice test, which you should defiantly look over b/c the questions will be the same except different numbers. Take her she is wonderful.
Ms Eschen was a good teacher.. I enjoyed her class, though being a Hybrid I didn't do so well. She only had a little time to go over a lot so I got lost quick... don't take a hybrid unless you can teach yourself. Lots and Lots of homework and notes (she graded them) and she allowed us to retake tests.. .I would retake her but not as a hybrid
She is the best teacher ever!!! Very helpful. stays after class to help anyone. you can also go to her office for help. very quick with email respondes.I was out sick one day and left a message on her phone that i will not be there and she respond to my call and told me what she did that day in class.Wonderfull teacher. U have to take her
I took this class as a hybrid. It wasn't really that easy, you basically teach yourself the stuff then go to class and work in groups. However, Prof. Eschen works with you so we were able to modify the class set-up. She also gives you every opportunity to get your work done. She is very helpful. Not an easy A, work for it!
Prof. Eschen has to be the best math teacher ever! She will go out of her way to make sure you understand the material and what you are doing in class. The class I took was a fast-track class but she made it really easy to follow. If you want an awesome math teach take her, you won't regret it. I'm taking her for all my math classes!!!!!
I'm not sure I got the course right, I took it last semester. It was intermediate algebra. Anyhow, I would recommend her to everyone! This is a hard class but she gave us every opportunity to succeed. She was a bit textbook in her explanaitons but otherwise outstanding in her teaching methods!!! Really, I hate math but she's great!
Her class was horrible for me because I had already taken Calculus and aced it. Precalculus online is not successful. If you are reading this, do not take that class online. Especially do not take it with this teacher. Her teaching style is ineffecient and she refuses to have physical contact with students. She even refuses to chat with them.
Bar none the worst class I have ever taken. Took online. You teach yourdelf. No help from Prof. On top of that, there are quizzes for EACH sect. and a ch test EVERY week. PLUS DB's. Plus 3 proct tests. This class consumed my every waking moment. If u have NOTHING else going on, it still will be next to imposs. to complete all the work!
Took MAC2311 with her. Not my cup of tea. Don't take with a friend. She found out I was friends with a girl in class. One similar grade and we were accused of cheating. All example problems are straight out of the book, and look nothing like the tests. If you don't work it out the way she wants it's wrong. Had taken calc before and aced it.
Teacher is very helpful and knowledgeable upon the subject. If you have no problem with a self taught class, this one is for you!!
I took her for Trig. I personally thought she was a wonderful teacher. She gives you many of opportunities to improve your grade, by either test retakes or homework extensions. She returns emails quickly, and is a very nice lady. Take her, and you will not be disappointed! I got a B. =)
Great teacher!She goes above and beyond to make sure you past the class
Not a fun class. She loves My Math Lab. The class was HIGHLY unorganized. Allowed time to improve grade. Take someone else.
Leaves assignments on math lab open, so you can raise your grade. Two exams and a final that are'nt difficult if you just complete the study guide. Replaced lowest test grade with the final test grade if it was higher. There is group work, which was annoying.
this professor is great however she is human and prone to make mistakes like we all are. I would recommend studying if attending her class because she has a tendency to get side tracked..I would not recommend her to a student who needs a lot of attention in math.
Prof. Eschen was/is GREAT!Just took her 8 week college algebra class.@ 1st I was overwelmed b/c I haven't been in a math class in over 6 yrs..but it all worked out!It's a lot of work!Great teacher & will do anything to make sure u succeed.Make sure you come to class she goes over A LOT.Also has study session which are very helpful.DONT GET BEHIND!
AWESOME teacher..I took college algebra over the summer , just a 8 week course.. Her information was clear and she really made the class interesting. Just come to class and do the homework and its a definite good grade. i could've had a A but I slipped up a couple times.
Awesome math teacher.. She trys different ways to get students to understand algebra. I recommend her. Come to class make time for homework, not alot but needs time, especially for someone like myself who took her class in 8 weeks.
emails always answerd within 24 hours, even on weekends.
Professor Eschen is a wonderful professor. She is very helpful and truly cares about her students. If you are willing ti put forth the effort to pass you will not fail!
Very helpful.Fully online class was very difficult Her communication is great...just be prepared for a bunch of work.
Online- Professor is available to help when requested. This course conveys a lot of work that takes a lot of hours to complete every week. Weekly- a discussion board, 4-5 homeworks, 1-4 Quizzes depending on the lenght of the current chapter. There are 9 chapters.Hint: Look for the course in BB and start working before the class begins.
online 4credit course had more than double the workload of a 3 credit course.Pearson MyMathLab very inflexible, marks answers wrong even tho right because format comma in wrong place, etc.
Took her online course. She's so helpful if you have any problems, and she always responds to emails quickly. She gives opportunities to go back to missed or poorly performed work. My Math Lab has great tools to learn the content.
Professor Eschen was very helpful throughout the course. She engages her students one on one and weekly let students know when she would be available for working with them outside of class. 1033 requires a ton of homework so expect it. Take her if you want to learn the material. You'll be better off when you move on to 1105.
she is very nice and VERY VERY helpful. I took her in class and her teaching technique is awesome. This was my 1st college class ever and I'm 28. She was willing to work together after class. I took 8 week course and was about to drop and she reassured me to keep working and that what I did. lots of work but shes to helpful! recommend!
Very sweet. However she said class time would be give, have yet to see it. It would make since to have class time to work on homework so we can ask questions. Gets off track very easily. Talks all class up to the time to get out. Only way to ask questions is to stay or come early. I am paying for her to help/teach, not talk all class. Do not recomm
Such a wonderful professor! I plan on taking her for MAT 1140, also!
Please spare yourself, and don't take her class. I waiting upwards of w week to get a response when I had a problem or questions, IF I even got a response. She doesn't follow school rules, policies and guidelines and is VERY little help.
Prof Eschen was very attentive and available for questions, even on the weekends. If you’re looking for mathXL style class, mymathlab will be very familiar to you, though this course is unnecessarily tedious and time consuming.
Prof Eschen was very responsive to issues in MathLab. Like any online math course it is largely self driven. I never once looked at book. Assignments are due weekly unlike last math class. Must hustle to keep up pace. You must click every link in MathLab to get credit for assignments.
She is a very nice lady but don't take her if you plan to have life outside of math. She gives a ton of online homework. You can plan on doing math homework Friday and Saturday and Sunday nights if you take this class.
She's really nice but I feel like she's teaching kindergarteners. She repeats herself constantly and she takes forever to get to her point. Bottom line: She's nice, easy class, easy A, she doesn't go with her planned schedule, I just won't ever have her again.
Extremely nice professor. She is fair and stays after class to assist anyone who asks for it. Although she can at times "be human" and forget a thing or two, she is an excellent teacher. Wish she taught MAC2233, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Expect homeowrk, quizzes, and tests. If you work, you will get your "A"!
Prof Eschen is extremely thorough and patient with everyone. She goes out of her way to provide help. Math is not a subject i excel in but she thoroughly goes through everything in the notes. I hated mymathlab at first, but i really like it now after taking the class. It is a bit tedious but it gives you feedback right away. Highly recommend it!
It was my best math class yet, and I have many to go.
Ms. Eschen is an competent Professor. She was very flexible and willing to work with you. The only problem was keeping up with her homework assignments. There were too many algebra problems to solve, which does not allow you the time to study for the test.The homework assignments were excessive to complete within her time frames. Not recommended.
I passed the class but make sure you attend class everyday and take good notes. Do all homework assignments and quizzes. She will extend due dates but just make sure you don't get behind.
She is a great teacher, especially if you struggle in math. She breaks it down to a first grade level if needed. She will make a mistake every once in a while, but who doesn't. Very nice and will work with you to the fullest of her ability. HW load isn't to bad and practice tests are crucial to taking the test. Take her class!
Very nice lady; however, she gives an exorbitant amount of homework with DUE DATES. I took her for a 6 week class. Instead of reducing some of the work load, she just crammed it into 6 weeks. She's willing to help, but if you're taking any other courses and have a job, be very careful not to get behind. Still I would say she is a great professor.
Prof. Eschen is an amazing professor. She assigns alot of work, but it is for your benefit to ensure you master the skills necessary to move on to the next level. She will go above and beyond to help, all you have to do is ask. She set up group study sessions outside of class on her time for additional review before major tests. GREAT PROFESSOR
As someone who hates math, I really enjoyed Eschen's class. She makes the material easy to understand and really wants everyone to learn. DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK!! She only uses mymathlab, which has an online version of the textbook and it is much cheaper. She makes you work for your grade, so if you want an easy professor I wouldn't recommend.
This class was a snooze fest. Better off taking the online class. You actually have more assignments in class than if you take the online version so save yourself! Also, she's not very organized. She tries her hardest to cover all skills but always runs out of time. If you think you'll get out even 1 second early, you're wrong!
Not a bad professor , but WAY to much work. 'a lot of work' is an understatement
I would recommend her to anyone.
She's a wonderful teacher but I must say I fell asleep twice because the class consisted of lectures that were 3 hours long! She tends to talk to the students as if we're in elementary school which is weird and kind of demeaning. But her class was very easy and she did everything she could to help us understand!
I've taken 2 classes with Prof. Eschen. She knows her subject, but sometimes lectures confusingly, or boringly. But she is always willing to answer questions. Pairs student into groups for some classwork which is a little annoying. Had to basically tutor some of my group-mates sometimes. But she is very nice and helpful. Overall good experience.
I took Professor Eschen online for Pre-Calc. Be prepared for TONS of hw. I got an A in the class; however, the amount of time I had to put in to get an A was excessive. Although I got an A in her class, I wouldn't take her again because it took around 14 hrs each wk to do all the assignments.
Pretty standard online math class, but the Professor was nice. She answered emails promptly and gives you the opportunity to improve you grade throughout the class. If you fail her class, it's really a lack of effort on your part. She does everything she can to help you succeed. I enjoyed the class and felt like she was there if I needed her.
Eschen is a very sweet lady, but when it comes to understanding what she is teaching, it is very hard. She works so fast and teaches you bare minimum so then on the homework you don't understand. Lots of in class quizzes along with a massive amount of homework. I would not take her again because she teaches very confusing.
she was a great teacher who explained topics in class thoroughly. If you need help with a certain topic she discussed dont be afraid to ask. Her class is an easy A if you stay on top of the homework and online quizzes.
Prof. Eschen is not a bad professor. Her class is not for everyone. She puts the students into groups and expects them to figure out the problems on their own without any prior explanation. I badically had to teach myself everything . If you have a job, other classes etc. Stir away from this class it's basically the stress of 4 classes all in one
She wants you to pass. Answers emails within minutes, and calls you if you get stuck on math problems. Being that I'm not great with math, and this was an online class, I thought I'd have trouble with no tutor around, but she was there for any questions. Plenty of extra credit to make up for low scores. I would definitely take again. I got an A.
Great professor that really works with students to help them pass. She is very clear with what she expects from students and goes above and beyond to help them if they are actually trying. Even if you are not doing well but are putting in a big effort she will help you. Would definitely take her again.
Everything was completed through mymathlab and I used the online testing proctor vs going to the college to take the proctored exams. There is alot of work as expected in a math class so don't get behind. I would take her again if I needed additional math classes.
I love professor Eschen. She is so sweet and caring. The class has a lot of homework (online) but it is all to help you. 3 tests in total and a few in class and online quizzes. COME TO CLASS. Her lectures are very helpful and if you need help she will be there for you!
Pretty easy if you're willing to spend a couple in front of a computer doing math work. Don't take online if you don't understand math well. Or at least have a tutor ready.
She did ah-mazing! She made it fun and the way she teaches makes it memorable. The class itself jumps around a lot because you are just learning the tip of the iceberg on multiple parts of calculus. She extends deadlines if you have a good reason for it, and drops the lowest grade at the end of the semester. I will take her for every math possible!
I am horrible in math I literally took 8 classes and have not passed til now with a B/ Due to my work schedule I did this course online. She was very helpful give extra credit at the end lets you make up quizzes and homework Take her wont regret it
Prof. Eschen is super charismatic and incredibly smart. She is hardcore and takes her teaching to the next level by incorporating the textbook, online, group discussion, etc. She really makes sure that you understand precalc so you are prepared for calculus. I highly recommend her. LOTS of homework (It's hard when you work) but she does it to help.
Great professor. Always makes sure you have what you need to succeed when it comes to proper format and technique when solving the problem. Definitely goes back to the basics to be sure the class fully understands. She's really great and always willing to help you.
This is a difficult class, she does give extra credit, no retakes on test, and a project at the end, I am pretty good at math but this class was a challenge.
I'm not sure why I thought taking this class online was a good idea, because it was a terrible idea. It's very difficult material and very hard to learn on your own. (unless you are a math whiz). However, she responds immediately to questions via email and seems very caring. There is a project to do and I'm hoping it will keep me at at least a B!
We didn't get extra credit in this class. Tough grader for sure. Good Professor. Hard to pass if you get test fright. This was actually MGF1107 . Responds quickly.
The beginning of the course is easy since beginner material is naturally easier to teach and explain, but once she starts assigning new material she tends to ramble for 30 minutes and then go into theoretical scenerios, instead of actually explaining the current concept.
This professor is very scatterbrained. She will be in the middle of teaching and then get distracted by something else in the room and then never go back to the topic she was discussing. She is also constantly handing out worksheets and assigning TONS of HW. Its an easy class to pass, but I am sure there are more efficient teachers out there.
Literally the hardest math class so far because of how it's taught. The professor is kind, but almost impossible to follow. Most of the material she flies through and says we should already know it from previous classes and to review it on our own. The textbook used is awful at explaining things and there is SO MUCH HOMEWORK!!!
One of the worst professors I have ever encountered. She never taught simply handed out worksheets did them on the board and said we should have known this already. Recommend taking a online class it would be half the work than what professor Eschen gives the majority of ti is busy work. DO NO RECOMMEND WHAT SO EVER!!
She is alright but I personally don't like her because she give out a ton of homework and will take up lot of your time. Over all good professor.
she knows what she is talking about and cares for students but she will not make accommodations for missed quizes or tests. also if you take this class make sure you have at least 8hours a week to spend solely on her homework (and its graded for accuracy so you hvae to actually do it) no formula sheet and has strict testing rules HARD TO PASS!!!
She helped me understand math problems I never got before.. But say goodbye to your free time with all the homework and studying she gives.
Do yourself a favor and dont take her.
Despite the many bad reviews, I still took this professor. I'm really not sure why. Took online due to COVID. Homework is done through MathXL. Prepare for the sheer volume of work you'll be doing each week if you STILL for some reason insist on taking her. There are better professors. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Save your sanity.
This professor doesn't teach, I would not recommend taking her. She doesn't email back and just gives out a whole bunch of homework. This is an online class and I spend at least 9 hours a week just doing homework. The way she teaches is very fast and she just reviews worksheets and expects everyone to know it. Save yourself, don't take her class.
She's a horrible teacher and I do not recommend taking this class if she is your professor. You can email her and she will not reply, just leave you high and dry. If you do take her, good luck because each week you will have 8+ hours of homework.
She teaches too fast and expects everyone to know it. I didnt pay for someone to speed through the lecture and examples and then tell me to go do 9 hours of homework on something i barely learned.
Professor Eschen was my first college professor and due to the coronavirus, everything was online. She is a Gem. Not only did I take her class once but I took her again immediately after finishing the first course. If you are not self-efficient this is not the Professor for you. She expects a lot from her students as any college professor should.
Just save yourself dont do take this class
She could have given more extra credit opportunities being that it's Calculus and not an easy subject. Only extra credit given was a 5 point course evaluation. The weight of the 3 proctored exams were 675 while home work was 145 and quizzes were 180. I maintained a B the whole class took the final and ended up a with a C.
She is the teacher to take if you're looking for someone who's going to care your learning. She makes herself available out of class and is willing to work with you. There are opportunities for re-dos and corrections for nearly everything. We had three exams total including the final. Take advantage of the time she sets aside out of class for you!
I feel bad rating this professor because I like her and I feel like she cares. However the workload is ridiculous. If you enjoy spending hours on watching videos, then a couple more hours doing home work, and then another hour or two taking quizzes every week, then this is the class for you! I have never had so much work in any class I've taken.
Professor Eschen cares about her students' understanding of the materials. She gives opportunities to redo assignments. However, she gives a lot of homework; her class was overwhelming for a while. At the end, she elimated the lowest grades in each category (quiz, assignment, test), which was helpful. Overall, she cares and seems to love teaching.
The class was fairly easy. The mathlab software made it easy to learn the material and pass the exams. Professor Eschen checks in frequently to see if you need any help and offered several extra credit opportunities. If you're bad at math this is definitely the course for you
this class is definitely average and the professor is great its just very hard to understand and a lot of tests and homework comes with it, if its last resort then take the class if not look for a different professor.
There were only about 15 kids in our class. Her teaching was poor and she never taught what was on the hw and/or the tests. The hw was the only saving grace but you had 6 a week, making it impossible to teach yourself and finish with 3 other classes worth of HW. Tests were not easy I asked my Professor for help she refused. Do not take her class.
She uses powerpoints and prints out the math material for you
It's insane that she gives upwards of 7 homework assignments PER WEEK with a quiz A WEEK too, but 2 tests make up 70% of your entire grade. You're rushing through to complete the INSANE amount of homework you will have that it is impossible to retain any information, not to mention you have other classes. Unless you're a super genius, good luck.
She was good! This course felt like a refresher course from everything we learned in high school. She had multiple tests which for me was a little challenging due to me not being a great test taker but they were relatively easy.
Test Heavy!!!!
This is a pretty hard class, there are 3 exams and on your last exam if you get a higher grade then your first to exams, she will replace one of the lower ones if you did well on final exam. The class heavy on the homework and quizzes every week. My advice is studying every day and don't miss a class. Other than that, she is a very nice professor.
This class was very project heavy, nearly 1 to 2 mini-projects weekly, with smaller lesson plan assignments in-between. The classwork was not hard at all, it just took a while. Lectures often started with more than one handout, and she repeated subjects a few times. Other than this, she is willing to extend due dates and is very understanding.
She is very nice! Gives multiple bonus opportunities and also at end of semester lowest 2 study plans will be dropped as well as lowest 2 quizzes will be dropped. Class was fully online no meeting time but work was due every week and projects/ discussions weigh heavy. I did the 7 week class ended with an A.. Great professor just follow instructions
I had her for SLS college success. Very lengthy assignments. She is so strict with grading and will comment how amazing you did on the assignment and knock off 10 points for no reason. Not helpful when trying to complete an assignment that conflicts with scheduling. Will knock off points instead of working with you.
Overall, the class was pretty easy as long as you do your discussions, projects (2 power points) and quizzes. The projects may seem time consuming but once you do them you find out they are easy and take an hour or two. Plenty of easy extra credit opportunities.
Not a bad professor but VERY test-heavy. If you aren't good at calc or don't test well you won't pass as tests are 70% of your grade. Available for questions, links outside lectures/videos that I liked but like most onlineclasses you are basically teaching yourself. Does offer plenty of extra credit but that won't save you if you fail the exam lol.
Astonishing how this teacher is allowed to teach; not a single student received an A in the course. Exams make up 70% of your grade, with the average being an F. First exam avg: 44%, second exam avg: 47%.
Class participation is crucial for Prof. Eschen. She encourages questions and reviews material thoroughly if asked. Though you may need to correct her at times, she is kind and understanding. The homework is heavy but essential. Exams are 70% of the grade, with reviews beforehand. Once you get to know her, you'll appreciate her teaching style.
