I took MA107 before with a different teacher he was very hard and the way he graded was very harsh. Nacy has you do homework, but your get a grade for it unlike other math classes they just give you the homework and if you do it, well good for you... she also has projects and really cares for her students and want's everyone to pass. Great teacher!

Easily the best math teacher I've ever had, and very possibly the best math teacher out there. No joke. I would truly rather have had nobody else as a professor. She takes you through every process step-by-step and explains everything along the way. If you are not a math major, you NEED to take this course with Nancy. You will not regret it.

If you want a A take her, its not that she has a great personality and teaching style, its the little things like her using online videos of the lesson and dropping test and quiz grades that set her apart.

This teacher is absolutely the best I have ever had for a math teacher. She made learning so easy through an computer program. She called herself our math mom and she did fun little games each week on the graphing calculator. If you are not great at math or if you are great I would recommend her. She will get you there.

Nancy is probably the best professor out there. I've gotten above a 92% on all my tests... and that's Pre-Calc! I'm not a math genius by all means. She doesn't grade homework. Posts all of her lectures on black board, and her review tests are pretty much identical to the actual test. Easy A!

She is the best! You will always be laughing in class, and she'll be laughing with you. She gives tons of examples, clearly describes the processes, and even records her lectures so you can go back and watch them. Her review tests are extremely helpful, and if you do the homework, show up, and do the reviews, you'll get an A. I love my math mom!

I would HIGHLY recommend her if you are struggling in the math area. Gives credit where credit is due. This was the third time I took this class and she was by FAR the most helpful and understanding prof!!!

Great teacher! She's very fun and explains things very well. Uses the ALEKS program. Do the ALEKS pie chart homework and you will do really well - at the beginning of the class I was sure I was going to really struggle, but ALEKS walks you through step by step, and Mrs. Forrest is there to help you 100%. Would take any of her classes!

Such an awesome professor! I had an ALEKS class with her and taking math online was terrifying however with her it was super easy! The test is only about 25 questions and they're similar to the reviews. She understands and clarify anything you do not understand. But it's math, math isn't easy but she made it easy.
