Professor Naehrig is one of the best math professors I've ever had. Usually classes move too fast and the textbook is a terrible way to try to learn on your own, but she has actually rewritten the textbook and uses it as her lecture notes. This way if you miss class, you can easily catch up. Her tests tend to run long, but are very straightforward.

There are pop quizzes but they are short and open notes. She doesn't use the book but the HW is based off it. Her lectures go by fast and its the same material as her online notes, except with more thorough examples. I'd recommend going to class to understand the material better because notes alone sometimes aren't clear.

Have notes online, tests are not hard if you know and understand the material well. She used Piazza which was very helpful during my quarter.

She does not curve your score but will offer many bonus points, as long as you have an overall grades over 90%, it's a 4.0. And as long as you learn what she teaches, it will be easy for you to get a 4.0. Best math teacher ever.

Ms. Naehrig is an extremely nice teacher. Take her class, she wants you to learn and wants you to succeed. She gives multiple opportunities for extra credit, including a sizeable amount on the midterm AND final. She is amazing, she also gives you long extensions on webassign if you want it and she has frequent office hours after class.

Natalie is one of the best math professors that I have had at UW. Her lectures are easy to understand and she does plenty of example problems. There are a couple quizzes, one midterm, and a final, but they are all very reasonable, as long as you have been coming to class and doing your homework you will do great.

Best math teacher at our university take her class if you can.

Uploads lecture notes to Piazza, so attendance isn't mandatory, but helps clear things up. Moves super slowly at first, but it helped hammer the essentials into my brain for the more complicated stuff. Quizzes every Friday, drops the two lowest quiz scores, offers extra credit on midterm, final, AND homework. Definitely recommend taking her!

Sometimes she seems a little scattered, but she's clear in terms of explaining the material. Notes are all posted online. No curve in this class so no need to try to beat other student's exam scores.

Her lectures can sometimes be weak, as in she tends to rely heavily on the lecture notes anyways to go through the material. However, she is really good at answering questions and follow-ups. The more active you are during class the easier the learning will be. Grading is reasonable too.

I'm retaking her for math307 because my last 307 professor was awful and would give exams that were so much harder than the hw or what he taught because he wanted to challenge our knowledge?? Natalie explains every concept very clearly, the fact that I am learning new things every lecture even though I already took the class just shows.

Dr. Naehrig is an excellent choice for MATH 300. She is happy to help you and go over homework questions during her office hours, and explanations of the concepts are thorough and easy to understand. The tests are very difficult, so be sure to do as many practice problems as you can.

Natalie is a very charming, nice little lady. Her German accent took some getting used to, but by the end of the quarter I grew to love it. This class was not too challenging for me, because I had already learned a lot of the material in high school through physics. Towards the end, it felt like lessons covering complex material were rushed through

This was Prof Naehrig's first time teaching math 126 and she was great overall. She changed parts of the class she realized was not beneficial to our learning (video quizzes). Her midterms were very easy; she links practice problems that were almost the same as the midterm. She said the final would be hard but I ended up getting a 97. Easy 4.0

Natalie genuinely cares about her students for sure. She does her best to explain any questions asked in class and was helpful when I went to office hours. Be warned that her lectures can get a bit convoluted, but aren't overtly difficult to follow. Midterms were easy, 46/50 and 51/52 points, just beware of the final since all 126 profs write it.

I believe this was her first time teaching MATH120. She was pleasant, answered questions thoughtfully, and made herself available. I didn't do very well on a midterm and she spoke with me privately to see what was up. She provides study guides very similar to the exams and is a very fair grader. Only issue is sometimes hw didn't match lecture

The professor is fine overall and warm-hearted to students. She is accessible through piazza. I also think that her lectures are mostly understandable and useful. Her homework is not very difficult but every time it took me quite a while to finish. The calculation steps are quite complex. Also a strict grader, in my opinion at least.

Prof Naehrig's video lectures were all really clear, organized, and easy to follow especially compared to the horror stories I heard from students in the other Math 124 class. The webassign homework was always really hard, but that's not specific to Naehrig's class. Overall she's a good teacher and a nice person.

Her lectures can sometimes be a little confusing, but she always takes her time to answer questions and clear up any confusion. She's super kind, accessible, and always open to help or accommodate. The homework can be long sometimes but they're not too difficult and midterms are fine as long as you study enough.

I'm writing this during week 10. Prof is willing to help and wants students to pass. Lecture videos are easy to understand. Many opportunities to raise grade with in class polls, mind maps, quizzes. If you practice many old exams, then you're good. I hope I can have her again because I heard she is even better for the higher level math courses.

Professir Naehring is a good option for math 124. She did a really good job at adapting to online but cutting lectures into pieces. Homework can be a lot with two worksheets a week that often feel disconnected from what is being taught. Easy to get in contact with. Midterms were tough, but straightforward. Definitely harder options out there

Naehrig really makes you work for your grade!! Many components in the grading, but I found that as an opportunity to help my grade. Lectures are good, has great handwriting. The final was ridiculously hard and the average was low, but that was made by the department and they should have gone easier on us.

Why many bad ratings? This prof had a good lesson plan with short lecture videos/ many assignments meant to help your grade. Most profs don't give those opportunities. 124 isn't meant to be easy, get ready to work for your grade.

You get a good grade if you put in the effort. Easy ways to increase your grade but takes a lot of time. She also dropped 10% for each criteria except midterms and finals. Her midterms were fair, and she gave us a lot of resources which helped. The final isn't made by her, so it can be hard. We had the highest average compared to other sections.

Prof Naehrig knows her stuff and cares about her subject and her students. My class was TOTALLY VIRTUAL and I found the homework to be rediculously hard, sometimes assignment would take 6+ hours to complete (I'm decent at calc). There were unnecessary quiz/discussion section that are virtually useless online. tests were very tough but overall ok.

Professor Naehrig cares about her students, but expect to put in a lot of work. Overall, it was a very challenging course and professor Naehrig put in the extra effort to help her students through. She works very hard and is truly dedicated to her students understanding and success!

Calc is a very hard and time consuming class, but Dr. Naehrig is great to take it with. There is A LOT of hw, as with any calc class, but its pretty doable to get 100% on everything (except ofc the tests that make up a majority of the grade). She grades pretty fair and gives partial credit with shown work. Be ready to study, the tests are hard!

Dr. Naehrig gave us tons of opportunities to get extra points and credit to help pad our grade. Her tests were reasonable, and she is overall a very caring person and swell professor to have. This recent spring, she dropped 20% of our HW assignments as well as 2 out of 5 midterms. I would strongly recommend!

People complain because she gives a lot of assignments, but the assignments are very easy and help pad our grades for the midterms and finals. Her tests are very straightforward and she really seems like she wants to help us do our best.

She honestly cares and although there are a lot of assignments, they are easy and are very useful.

Professor Naehrig is very detailed and experienced. She highlights important concepts and is aware of common mistakes students make. Her teaching style makes it possible for those who like a step-by-step approach. The course is very well organized but sometimes worksheets are slightly ahead of lecture material. Great way to start the calc series!

I LOVED Professor Naehrig. She explained things in a step by step way, and her lectures were super easy to follow. Homeworks can be difficult, but her quizzes and midterms are easy. She genuinely cares about her students, and passing is easy if you put in the work.

I liked Professor Naerig. She is caring and wants her students to succeed. There are weekly quizzes, 2 midterms and one final. The quizzes are pretty easy and graded generously, so it is doable to get perfect scores on them. The midterms are fair and similar to the study resources she posts- so make sure to use those! Overall recommend.

Professor Naehrig is a very nice professor and genuinely wants all her students to succeed. There are weekly quizzes but they're really easy if you have a basic understanding of the material and you can retake them as many times as you want. The midterms are within reasonable difficulty.

Professor Naehrig is a really caring professor. Her lectures are organized and she explains the concepts well. She also gives extra credit opportunities to help you succeed in class. There is quite a lot of homework and it can be challenging but the quizzes and midterms are reasonable.

Prof. Naehrig is extremely caring. She is very nice and genuinely wants all of her students to do well. She has all of her lectures and more study materials available to us which made studying much easier. She does give a lot of homework but it's doable. The course is well organized and overall, I think this was a good way to start the calc series

She is very nice and sweet. However, this class is not easy at all. I spent abt 3hrs on hw every week. Weekly quizzes are not that hard and you can retake during office hours and grades will be averaged. Midterms are not that bad if you pay attention and do the work. The final was extremely hard. There are extra credits for notes and hw completion.

I'm honestly surprised by the low ratings on here. I took her in person during autumn quarter 2021 and she was great. Gives lots of practice problems and exam guides. and her quizzes were easy for the most part. Although the curve screwed me somewhat that wasn't really her fault. Just study and practice and you'll pass.

Puts effort into lectures, designs the course in a way that actually helps you learn. One of the most accommodating professors I have ever had, will work with you to get you to do as well as you can. She seems to be a professor who wants you to pass, which is not what I expected for MATH 124. Learned way more than in MATH 120 even though I struggle

She’s very kind and explains her lessons thoroughly. Her examples were helpful and I felt she cared about our learning and well-being. I wish I could have her for Math 125.

Naehrig is the best math professor at UW. She is caring, understanding, and her lectures are very clear. Her passion for teaching is far better than other professors at UW which makes the class even more engaging for students. Midterms are almost exactly like her practice midterms, cheat sheet allowed which makes it fairly easy. Would recommend!

Professor Naehrig clearly cares about her students and wants to see them succeed in the class. Her pre-class videos are extremely helpful and prepare you well for in-person lectures, which I found fast-paced and difficult to keep up with at times.

She is an amazing teacher. She gives a lot of opportunities to retake quizzes and has pre-lecture videos that are actually helpful. She cares about students and I can see that she wants us to succeed. The final exam is difficult but you should do fine if you understand the materials. Overall a great professor

Professor Naehrig sets up her class with a very clear structure. Watch all the pre class videos, stay on top of quizzes, and go to her office hours. Professor Naehrig really cares about her students and will work with you to succeed.

Natalie is wonderful professor, though she did rely on Loveless for her worksheets. She made it very clear what was expected of you. There were no nasty surprises. Naehrig took the time to lecture while also having us do practice problems with each other. She was always ready to help, and encouraged question asking and class participation.

Professor Natalie genuinely cares about her students and her class is well designed.

Naehrig is the saving grace of the intro calculus meat grinder. She is young, caring, and effective. If you miss her great in-person lectures, the prerecorded stuff is still well-thought-out and easy to follow. This site is full of overreactions and emotional takes - but Naehrig genuinely deserves a 5/5. Be grateful if you pull her for 12x.

Overall, I really liked this class and thought it was taught well by this professor. It wasn't too hard as long as you attend lectures and do the homework! Probably one of the best math professors!

Probably the best Calculus professor at UW. She is more lenient when it comes to grading and the spread is pretty nice since half your grade is dependent on 2 midterms/final. She allows retakes on quizzes which average out and bumps your grade while dropping 25% of the hw grade. Her midterms are much more manageable compared to other professors.

Professor Naehrig actually wants her classes to succeed as opposed to a lot of other weed-out classes I've taken. She walks us through problems step by step in class and provides a variety of examples for each type of problem so we know exactly what to do on quizzes and midterms. Ask for help! She is so helpful if you're confused with the material.

The Math 12x series in general is unkind but Naehrig does her best to make things encouraging for her students. She really cares about students' learning and she always offers ways to prove yourself (lots of quiz retake opportunities, extra credit, only grades you on 75% of HW) and also has lots of extra help (HW videos).

Definitely one of the better Math 12x professors! Her lectures are very easy to understand, and she is very generous with homework and quiz grading. She clearly wants her students to succeed, and her pre-class videos are extremely helpful! Consider yourself lucky if you get her for 124!

This professor was amazing!! As long as you keep up with the preclass and homework assignments, the class is a breeze. She is great at explaining the concepts and is extremely kind and approachable.

I took Naehrig last year during Winter '21. She is one of the most understanding and friendliest professors in the math department. She gives a lot of assignments, but are great practice for her exams. She also had extra credit. Her quizzes are worth alot. Her exams are doable and easy-ish, pay attention to lecture and practice exams on the archive

Professor Naehrig is an amazing instructor for the UW math department. I had her for 124 and 126, and both times I appreciated her flipped classroom model and weekly quizzes as they generally prepared me well for midterms and finals. If you are comfortable with constant work, Natalie does a great job if you put in continuous effort.

Amazing professor, I had Professor Naehrig for math 124, and the lectures were amazing and the pre-class work although it can get annoying sometimes if you forget to do it until last minute but it is 100% beneficial towards the learning experience. If you are able to get her as a professor I would highly recommend taking the class

Natalie is very good at lecturing and teaching, and she's very nice and approachable. Her midterms are easy, but the final is co-written by the entire 124 instructional team, so the final is significantly harder for her students. I got perfect scores on both midterms, but did really bad on the final. Great teacher, brutal curve.

Lots of HW and it takes a while but she gives a generous drop at the end so you dont have to do it all. Lots of quizzes but they arent too hard. Shes very nice and seems to actually care about the students but isn't the best at actually teaching the material; if you don't have prior knowledge from high school then her teaching might be too fast.

Professor Naehrig assigned lots of homework, but it generally felt like it had a purpose. She clearly wanted her students to do well and understand material and did a good job walking the class through practice problems. If I ever had to take a math class again that she was teaching, I definitely would!

Professor Naehrig is a great person to be around, but her teaching style leaves something to be desired. In particular, the way she lectures does not make the students more interested in the subject but rather actively turns student's attention away from the matter. That being said, it is hard to drum up interest in a subject such as calculus.

cares about her students, does what she can to make the difficult curriculum less intensive

Naehrig actually helped me understand calculus more than I thought I could, she cares about her students and gives them opportunities to improve their grades outside of homework. She does a good job of making the difficult material approachable. The TA's were kind of useless but not her fault.

A good amount of homework and a few quizzes, but there is a lot of grace given to get problems wrong on the homework, and you can make your own formula sheet for quizzes. Class time is spent on problems, but the videos outside of class are clear and make sense. The quiz section was also useful, as it was optional dop-in time for help on anything.

Don't listen to anybody here that's shaming Professor Natalie. She is a sweetheart who actually cares about her students and teaches the concepts very well. She's also quite lenient w/ work. I'd never thought she'd teach calc 1 in a way where I would understand it. Props to her. She is a solid MATH 124 professor. I highly recommend taking her!

She's a good lecturer. She rarely went too fast or too slow, and her explanations were usually pretty helpful in understanding the material. Her tests were very reasonable, especially for the math department. She also had lots of relevant prep material, and released pretty detailed lecture notes.

She is very nice and approachable. Sometimes she is hard to understand as she has an accent (I believe she's German). She has built in PollEv drops, HW drops, and you can retake the quizzes if you fail. Lectures are always recorded and posted. She really wants you to learn the content and succeed.

good teaching, good answers, lots of participation in lectures

Prof. Naehrig is so sweet and enthusiastic - she genuinely wants her students to succeed. She also provides tons of extra credit opportunities! However, she's a little scatterbrained in her lectures and they're difficult to follow. The exam review worksheets she provides are identical to the actual exams, so just do those and you'll be fine.

In the beginning Professor Naehrig made it clear that she didn't assign the homework, and it was automatically assigned through Webassign. That said, I struggled in the beginning because I wasn't used to how the course was taught. But she gives a ton of extra credit throughout the quarter to remediate your grade. The midterms are also pretty easy.

Professor Naehrig genuinely cares about her students, and has a really fun class environment. She encourages student participation, lectures are engaging, and she really works with the class. There's quite a lot of homework through WebAssign, but she doesn't create the problems and has helpful homework videos in case you get lost. She's lovely. :)

Professor Naehrig's class is good, she explains concepts and questions clearly, and teaches us German words for every start of the class, I would take it again. But the assignment is a bit difficult, exams are not as hard.

Natalie is a caring professor who makes a tough math course approachable. With consistent homework and quizzes, the class is challenging but manageable. Unstuck study was a lifesaver for quick calculus practice and exam prep.

I took Pre-calc in high school before, but I had to retake it again. Having her class was an amazing opportunity because she leads the lecture pretty well and understandable. The HW is a bit harder to understand however the midterm and the final were the easiest questions given to us. I praise her so much and my grade. She's a great professor.

Good professor! Explains material clearly and with excitement keeping students engaged.

Wonderful professor! She has the class structured to be very clear, efficient, and easy for students to succeed. She is very nice and makes class (and math) interesting and fun. She cares a lot about students' success, providing many extra credit and learning opportunities. If you put any effort into this class you will get a good grade.

She's a good lecturer! It's sort of flipped classroom but like not really, maybe 15 mins of prep work needed for each class lol. Easy quizzes (10 "example" questions, 2 easy proofs), reasonable homeworks with opportunity for EC, so not a heavy workload. What a queennnn

She's nice as a lecturer but lowkey her lectures didn't help much. I just do the homework. Was her first quarter in Math 120 when I took it so she got notes from another professor for us to use for review LOL. Very nice of her.

Natalie tried her best to make sure you get the score you want once you work hard; there are all kinds of extra credits and retake for exams. she sometimes forgot the proof she's gonna write in lecture; but it's no big deal. To take her course, be prepared to do more before and after class, but you wouldn't feel stressed out preparing for tests.

Professor Naehrig provided easy to follow lectures and was always available for help after class. The homework assignments were harder than the exams. The exams were pretty easy. She provided weekly extra credit assignments and had more EC at the end of the quarter.

Good lecturer. She used a system with four relatively easy quizzes instead of exams, which I appreciated. She employed a contract grading system - which was somewhat confusing, but allowed for any dedicated student to get a 4.0 by putting in the effort and retaking quizzes. There was an annoying amount of busywork assigned. Easily reachable on Ed.

Dr. Naehrig is an amazing prof who truly cares about student learning & success. I had her for Math 124 Au22 and loved her then. It was great to take another class with her now. She is a great lecturer and is easy to reach outside of class for extra help. She made it possible for anyone to get a 4.0 if they were dedicated enough.

Prof. Naehrig's classes will ask you to engage in the material, but provides a fruitful and simple path to a 4.0 if you do.

she's so nice!

She is very caring obviously, as evidenced by her generous grading policy. Algebra is a very abstract subject, but she does a good job of explaining it in a simple enough manner. This course is not easy, and it does require a lot of work, but at the same time it does feel rewarding. Its actually also pretty fun-i liked algebra better than analysis.

Very good lecture style with pre-lecture videos and time to do homework in lecture.

She was amazing in multivariable calculus. Don't listen to other people telling you she's bad. She does make mistakes here and there, but she corrects them really fast, and she responds quickly on Edstem as well. Just pay attention, and you will succeed 100%.

Naehrig was an excellent prof for 224. It was a reversed classroom style, so we worked on homework problems in class. Attendance wasn't required, but it definitely helps, and she gives extra credit for doing the poll everywhere. Two midterms and a final with a cheat sheet. Midterms went amazingly. Naehrig is super understanding and a fun lecturer!

Her class model won't work for everyone but most of us this quarter greatly appreciated it. It was shockingly easy given the advanced content of the course, and I definitely had an easier time grasping concepts than in any of my past math classes. If you can take a math class with her I'd highly recommend it.

Midterm medians were 90, 95% respectively. Professor naehrig is extremely caring. I would place her exams on the easier side, but if you do away with the desire for grades or a curve, you walk out of class actually having learned. Low homework weight, high emphasis on being active and engaging with the material.

Genuinely amazing teacher and teaching style!

As a mathematics major I would say I wanted to learn more about the math side of the content i.e. more proofs, while Prof. Naehrig hardly explains proofs of those theorems. But she is generally a very caring teacher, you will succeed in her class as long as you put in effort. The flipped class also makes much sense.

One of the better professors in the math department. Cares about students, and exams are generally easier/test only on fundamental concepts taught in class. Homework is generally light, lots of examples given during class.

Professor Naehrig is excellent. She carefully prepared videos before class to ensure that students learned the material. The lectures were very accessible outside of class time. She meticulously ensured that everyone could watch the lecture. You can earn extra credit if you actively participate. Midterm were easy, final can be a little challenging.

Great professor.

Would ask us how we feel about topics. Communicates with her class. Went up to her after lecture handful of times, and she always seemed to care and helped out. As always, the math classes are rigorous, but appreciated her as prof.
