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.

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!

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.

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.
