I had Natascha for 097 and she was amazing, so when I went into 119 and she didn't teach a single thing, I was highly confused. She didn't explain things for 119 and for group work, she'd never explain what we were to do. I ended up dropping it after 2 weeks and switched professors. It's the best thing I could have done because now I'm learning.

She is a good teacher. Always willing to help and she's extremely nice; however, she doesn't always have the answers.

I was never good at math and kind of expected not to do well in college, Mrs. Rivet built my confidence immensely and was available for any help/question you would need. She is a very sweet person and genuinely cares about your learning and well being. 10/10 would recommend.

Truly one of the best Professors I've had so far. Her grading style is different from usual, but that doesn't make it difficult. She genuinely cares that everyone understands the class and can pass. A very, very good Professor.

Be sure to pay attention and listen. She has 2 big tests and 2 portfolios. They are worth 50 points and test 100 points. You can retest if you have the optional homework done. She was a good teacher. Fast paced though. You'd be fine if you're 10 minutes late to class you'd be fine but just pay attention.

Lots of homework
