Calc 2 with Ernst is the definition of dread. You will work hard and get mediocre grades. If you ask for help during office hours, she will simply reword your questions and submit the reworded questions as answers. I tried to like this class, but constant failure paired with her constant monotone eventually broke me down. Avoid at all costs!

Very quirky and a beautiful smile. Does good examples before the homework, and then answers any questions about the homwork. Tests are easy even without cribs. Teaches well, and looks even better. Always dressed nicely.

Is a fairly good professor when it comes to teaching the material. Fails to realise that not everyone is taking her class for the 3rd time like some and moves fast. Tests and quiz's are extremely hard compared to homework. Work hard and maybe pass.... I worked extremely hard and failed. Old cribs very easy compared to current tests.

Miss Ernst is a great teacher. With extra credit I was able to get 100% on all her tests and did pretty well on the final. She is the kind of teacher that tests you on the material, rather than on how good you are at catching tricky things like Trig Identities. Do most of the homework (I just did a few problems from every section) and each review.

Not a bad professor. Not a fantastic professor. I struggled with the subject, pushed myself and studied for hours before each test. Did poorly on final, got final grade of an 89.8% - B+.

She isn't a bad teacher. The material itself can get complicated plus no use of calculators. Overall though she knows what to teach and helps you if needed. Just ask. Tests can get rough if you do not study. The finals were multiple choice but that can be to your detriment if you mess up. Out of most Math profs though, she is a good mix.

I can easily say this is the worst class I have ever had. She rushes through the notes so you won't understand them conceptually. She combines tons of steps which makes her work very confusing when you look back at your notes.

Prof. Stock is a good person but your grade is based off of three exams, three Mupads and the final. She teaches right out of the book which has its pros and cons, if you need more examples the book doesn't help because she's used all of the examples from it. She also grades very hard on tests.
