Her homework quizes are very annoying. She teaches the class like its 8th grade, and it is not fun. This was the elementary statistics class, and it really felt like a stupid business class instead of math. Plus, all her lectures are power point presentations and it is really awful.
She tries too hard to be funny, but end up been very unfunny. I can't be sure if she actually cares about anyone's learning or not. Her exams are ridiculous and she treats everyone like we're in elementary school. I never got anything out of her jokes and her teaching. Don't take her!
Horrible teacher.She didn't seem to care whether you were understanding the concepts or not. Class was very disorganized, homework was done online and the tests didn't follow the homework at all. She was very specific about every little thing she wanted on the tests, which is fine, but she forgot to relay that info to the class. Take anyone but her
She was a sub for my teacher who was gone on maternity leave. She told more jokes than lecturing. She took off points for minor things like not writing that 2/4 is the same as 1/2. I was doing fine in the class until she came along. DON'T TAKE HER.
This is the worst teacher I've ever had. She came to sub for my teacher who had to be on maternity leave and all she did was brag about herself. She wasn't helpful at all and was really picky in grading, totally unfair. Her teaching skill sucks. I had a nightmare being in that class. Take anyone else but her.
Horrible, horrible, horrible teacher. Likes to brag about herself. Take anyone else but her!!!
Nicole is the worst teacher I have ever had!! She is the most unorganized teacher at NHCC, very late in posting grades, where we took tests on chapters when she hadn't even graded our quizes yet. She is very anal about everything. She also grades by weight instead of points so you end up getting a worse score if you tend to do better on homework. T
She is very easy about grading :-) Her quizzes and exams are very easy if you do all the homework :-) She isn't tricky at all, she is nice to you and I love her laugh and smile!! EASY IN GRADING AND EASY QUIZZES AND EXAM! TAKE HER!!!
not recommended. nothin gets back on time. very picky grader. i got points taken off 4 showin 2 much work. wtf? thnk goodness its online; wont ever hafta c her.
This is a HORRIBLE teacher. Never take her, you will regret it. Never responds to emails, is unorganized, it takes her FOREVER to grade anything, I had asked for help from her and she never gave me any, she would just forget to respond to me. WORST teacher I have ever had!!!
She likes to chit chat and joke for half the time, is slow, and makes plenty of errors. She was unwilling to help, and when we had arranged a meeting, she backed out once I got there. Grades posted 4-6 weeks after tests/homeworks were turned in. Rediculous!
The worst instructor I have ever had. I did get an A - and a fairly easy A. but the test grades were not posted until 2 months after each test. She was no help at all.
I thought she was a good teacher. "recommends" attendance!! but not manditory. Class was difficult and she moves on whether you get it or not, so come to class and pay attention.
Ugh! Absolutely horrible. I actually used to kind of like math...but now, not so much. We do homework online; NOT IN THE TEXT BOOK! She makes stupid jokes the entire class(which by the way, are not funny) instead of teaching. She goes way too fast and is of very little help. I wish you luck...
jus plain horrible ... I got a B cos God helped me and I'm really cool wiv math ... Damn woman messed up my 4.0 GPA ... but I forgive her ... its a new year ... and I totally forgive her !!
I loved her! She didn't have a great connection with the students though. She was very nice and willing to help you out. She drops 2 of your lowest test scores which is great! She uses MathXL which kicks butt! I loved that all our homework was online (and she didn't assign alot)
AWFUL! She was not helpful~always referred me to a tutor or the math website. I had the class ACED and b/c of a low mid-term and final exam grade, she gave me a D. She didn't like me b/c I called her out on things she said and then "took back". Nice lady, but terrible teacher. What a waste of time and money...
I never had to open my calculus book once. A very good teacher as far as taking notes and creating a lesson plan. Now for the negatives...always a few minutes late for class and does not return grades fast enough. If you can make it by her bad jokes she really is a good teacher.
Explains problems well, and homework is online which really helps because you know when you have the problem wrong versus doing it through a book and it takes less time. Good teacher. recommended.
Good teacher, very clear and helpful.
Mrs. Lang was a great teacher! She plans things out and breaks everything down into clear steps on how to approach problems. She explains the material with confidence. Easy to follow! She does attempt to tell jokes=/ good thing she's a math teacher=)
I had her for online College Algebra so my teacher was basically the online video prof. As far as Prof. Lang goes, her syllabus is very condusive to online learning. She gave extra points for asking or answering online discussion questions. Homework was worth points and she allowed any and all homework to be made up during the 2nd to last week.
The best on-line professor you will ever take!
Do not take her.
Not helpful at all. Every time I asked a question, she answers a completely different answer. she also makes you look dumb when asking a question. DON'T TAKE HER!
precalc..this class was a review to me so it was easy! she expected everyone to have taken trig and algebra, so her lessons are short and simply review of what she thinks you know already..be prepared!
very good teacher; very helpful, she even gave us a binder full of notes, most of the notes she gave us were on the test. her quizzes are super easy if you pay attention. study for her exams because they're a lot harder than her quizzes. she sometimes let's you do take home quizzes that you can work in groups for. Overall, she's a good teacher.
I highly recommend her! She keeps her lessons short and brief, she also expects you to know your trig and algebra. Her tests are fair and she is always willing to help if you ask or visit her office.
I don't understand why her scores are so low, I thought nicole was a fabulous teacher! Her exams are fair and they actually look a lot like her homework. She is always willing to help and is very understanding. I highly recommend her!
The worst teacher I ever had, give very very rare interests to the student. Her grading is horrible.Please, do not take her class.
I had no choice but to take her. She's not all that bad, but she was very slow on getting back to you on grades and worksheets. I hardly used her during the course because she would just redirect me to the online course, or google, or her lectures which really didnt help at all, so if you take her online course you're basically on your own.
I failed a test (300 pts) of hers because she makes you remember so much material and no notes on tests. I ask for a retake and she replies that she would have to make a whole new test and make everyone else retake the new test. She kept interrupting me when I tried to talk to her during office hours. Don't take her for Calc 1 or you're on your own
DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!! Very discouraging teacher, instead of motivating her students she is a wet blanket. Kept telling me i won,t pass the class no matter what. Not helpful at all. Very slow with grading too.
the worst professor you can take, all my grads are A and B but with her class i failed and she was so rude, don't ever think about taking her
The teacher herself is fine, if a little absent minded when it comes to answering one on one questions. The online homework program, however, is a nightmare. It's extremely unintuitive and you WILL lose points on the online assignments no matter what. The online homework is bad enough to merit avoiding the class.
She's pretty much an absent professor. Not much help at all. Because this class has so many formulas to memorize, people asked what we should study for the tests. Her response: "everything". Your proctored midterm and final make up 90% or your grade. Everything else is through course compass, which is a pain, and requires more time than in person.
I don't know why her ratings are so low! She sometimes gives confusing answers to your questions, but overall good class. She doesn't use the textbook. She creates notes that you use. Study her examples/notes and you should do great. Very nice teacher
honestly shes alright as a teacher but shes very fast pace! i came from 901(intermediate algebra) to pre-calc and i was overwhelmed! she encourages questions, but grades tests very picky! she doesn't make you buy a book, but i know a lot of students in her class that wished they did!
Earned an A, but that was because of the work I put in - not because of any help she provided to me. Anytime I had questions, I found her to be condescending and rude. I took one course with her and switched to another professor for my remaining math courses. I pay too much for my education to be treated poorly. Wouldn't recommend her to anyone.
she pretty much gives out the assignment and just expects you to read out of the textbook and teach yourself to know how to do the problems. sometimes the textbook isn't even useful. she doesn't post up lecture videos for some sections. this was the hardest class i have ever taken. do not take her if you want a good math teacher.
Some student who comment on here pretty much summarized what I was going to say also. She expect everyone in class to know how to do the assignments in class. She's picky about using the equal signs. Repeats over and over about equal signs maybe once is enough already. I wished I would of drop her class sooner.
If you are currently enrolled in one of her classes I recommend to drop it rn before its too late.
She was a tough grader. But she went the extra mile to help students. I have never had a better math teacher. She was quirky and fun.
Nicole is a bit intimidating at first and I did horrible in the beginning but she truly cares about her students and she spent her own personal time helping me learn the material. Yes, she's tough, but she's a great teacher and genuinely wants to see her students succeed. I'm surprised at all the awful reviews. Don't be afraid to ask for help!
She really care that you understand the work and wants you to work for it. This class is hard if you have a full time job and kids beacuse it requires alot of your time doing the online work but I like her alot and her annalogies helped me alot.
The worst professor I have ever had. I have a 4-year degree and needed calculus for graduate school and failed her online calculus class BADLY. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA and am an awesome student.. I had to drop her class after the midterm after getting 42%. Not nice AT ALL. I emailed her asking for help and she made fun of me. NO JOKE. EVIL!!!!!!
Cares more about your problems being written perfectly than the actual material. I lost points because she did not like how I organized my work. The answer was correct, but she likes her work written vertically with no arrows and I apparently did it horizontally across my paper which drove her mad. Insulted me on multiple occasions. Terrible. DROP
Nicole is a great teacher and is willing to talk with you at any hour outside of class. She gives good feedback, but get ready for A LOT of homework. Calc 2 is hard and she makes it as understandable as possible.
She was the worst teacher I've had at North Hennepin. I took this class online and the site she used for homework was awful, I do not understand why she couldn't use math lab instead. The homework is confusing and she's picky on grading. She didn't give any good material to review for the final. Half our assignments were not graded by the final.
One of the worst teachers I've had. She put questions on quizzes that we never covered in class. When my friend and I wrote down the exact same answers on a quiz, I would get it right and she would get it wrong and vice versa. She belittled us and got mad at us for no reason and gave the whole class snarky comments. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!
Nicole is awesome! She took very detailed notes w/in lecture & posted it online, while leaving out fluff. Her practice tests were manageable & tests were similar or easier in difficulty. So much extra credit/points available it will blow ur mind. HW is relatively short & easy if u use chegg & symbolab. Ok grader. Fun teacher, genuinely good person.
AVOID. Took her online class; Didn't know what was going on until it was too late. She is not-organized and no structure to her schedule. Takes forever to return grades. We weren't updated on the assignments that were due until that week. With 2 other classes going on, her schedule was a nightmare. I didn't know what was due half the time.
I personally would say not recommend taking her. She doesnt really prepare you for your tests (even with the homework.) also, when I was getting feedback for something she was degrading when I did not understand something. The quizzes are so much harder than what youre exposed to.
Professor is confusing and does not know how to teach in a way that anyone else can understand. Gets distracted and goes off topic. All free response questions for quizzes and tests. No multiple choice test. I had to teach myself from the book and other sources. Worst teacher Ive ever had. Left class frusterated everyday. Dont recommend.
I enjoyed going to her class everyday and she is hands down the best math teacher I've ever had. One of the best teachers I've had yet! She genuinely cares about her students and responds to my homework questions even at 10:30 PM. Yes, she is not perfect but she is a wonderful human being and I'm so grateful to have had her as a professor.
She did great for the entire course Is willing to explain things in multiple different ways pending your needs and mind Tons of extra credit options and is teaching for a pass grade Always available, excellent knowledge, relates to real life situations If you HONESTLY put the time and effort in you will pass Awesome caring teacher
Ms. Lang is a fantastic math teacher who really cares about you and making sure you pass her class. She gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit and is always quick to respond via Remind or email. She would regularly stay after class to answer any questions we had. She'll go above and beyond to help you. Just make sure to show up to class!
Lots of online homework. Sometimes does a poor job explaining things during lessons and there were a few questions on some of the tests we were not prepared for. But overall not bad, if you study and do everything will pass with good grade.
She wasn't the nicest of teachers.... she insulted me. Didn't ever give feedback that was useful. Constantly made me feel stupid because of the tone of her voice.
This teacher makes everything so difficult for no reason. She is so behind in grading all of the course material. It is the end of the semester and she is still grading stuff from unit 3. The lessons are youtube videos that she posts, and you are expected to get 5-6 lessons and homework done in about a week. Do not choose this professor!
The material isn't hard, but this prof is so disorganized that the class is hard. After the end of the semester, she still has 2 months' worth of grading left. Choose a professor that has a history of grading on a reasonable schedule. She is also really condescending when you ask questions.
Probably one of the worst professor i've had in my entire schooling experience. Handed out a lot of projects and quizzes during the semester and when it was time to post our grades she proceeded to tell us half of the quizzes and projects were not going to be graded cause she didn't have the time. Accused me of plagiarism on one of my projects.
The amount of effort she puts into your success is phenomenal. Can tell she genuinely cares. Provides a great schedule of due dates and suggested days you should complete work to stay ahead of schedule. Not heavy on the tech. Uses multiple apps to stay in touch and answers so quickly. Uses free textbook. No late penalties.
She's understanding when it comes to not being able to turn in an assignment on time. Often, she postponed assignment due dates due to a certain amount of kids contacting her on not being able to finish the assignment on time. She is a tough grader and it doesn't help that she's not the best at explaining the material. Her explanations confused me.
She grade slower than a sloth. She gives out to much homework and I can't even do my other classes. It needs to be "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be".
I took her synchronous online class. Takes forever to grade, and the lectures are very slow and are about subjects you were supposed to already have learned about. This was one of the only classes I was taking at the time, and it did require a lot of effort and hours worth of assignments. She has fast reliable communication though. Nice lady. OK.
lots of homework/video assignment. Teach too fast and expects students to learn quickly. Always has a disappointed face and seems annoyed if you dont understand something. Her reviews for the exams are very different than the exam. She expects you to be familiar with all the concepts so she switches the problems up in the exams. Dont take her class
she takes forever to grade homework's and tests also doesn't teach good her class is so confusing I ask for help for question about the homework that I was confused about she made fun of me for taking too long to understand the question worst professor. Don't recommend taking her class
She was really unprofessional. Very tough grader, I had many breakdowns because of the homework and the tests were nothing alike the homework. If you miss a day of class you miss the notes and you will not get them. She would always go on rants about random things not related.
More often than not, we would have lectures and NOT finish the notes for the lesson. We would have to do it on our own using her finished scanned notes. She is very nice but rambles a lot and the grading system is confusing. There is no regular grading system at all. If the class had been taught normally, I feel like I might've had a better chance.
The way how the class was ran wasn't professional. During notes she'd talk too much and we wouldn't finish the notes for that day. The grading system is out of the ordinary since it's not the typical one that's used with percentages, but meeting objectives. Took around 1-2 months before sending out our first grade check during the 4 month semester.
Decent professor. Does have pretty confusing grading system, really disliked doing homework on computer all the time because I get headaches and it's hard to do math on a computer. Also tends to ramble so sometimes class time would be used irresponsibly. She is nice though and allowed rechecks for tests so I appreciate that.
Should've went on this website when checking out classes, need to take this class again with different professor. I'm not great at math, trying to learn from her difficult, talks about everything else, and keeps showing formulas that we never use. Uses online calculators so you'd actually never figure out how you actually solve on online HW
Goes off topic frequently doesnt post things in a timely manner when she says she will She is often late on starting class going 20 minutes into class time on of topic issues that are not related to class She doesnt finish units that are supposed to be on the test Only benefit is once a subject is done in her CORE objectives it is not tested again
how she teaches is more if you got it, you got it, if you didn't then oh well. she says come see me, but i can't stay after class, i have work. i feel embarrassed just talking to her in front of the class because she wants everyone to hear what i asked. Her way of grading exams and homework like "core objectives" or "more objectives" i get so lost.
I really struggled with her class. The biggest thing is the graded notebooks are completely unorganized and complicated. I failed this class because I struggled so badly. Her lectures are terrible. As someone who is not the best at math, I found she was not the easiest to approach. I ret-took the class with another professor and got an A.
all homework is online, very tedious. she has her own grading system and uses standard based grade, very difficult to understand. in class she goes through notes- if you do not understand a topic right away you're screwed. gets off topic often and for a long time. difficult to approach in class, and does not give complete from online. HARD grader
I liked her, she was clear in what specific thing you needed to learn and where to improve, great teacher.
Grading system is very confusing and atrocious to say the least. Extremely tough grader. Hard achieve certain goals throughout the class. Way too much homework. All homework is online which isn't very helpful for an in-person class. Homework and KC's (knowledge checks-her versions of tests) are nothing alike. Lectures are pointless. Don't Take.
Safe yourself the trouble and pick a different teacher. She has her own way of grading and her own made up terms that are very confusing to understand. Tons of homework and its all online. Always late for class and goes on little side rants that have nothing to do with the lesson so we never end up finishing the notes. PICK A DIFFERENT TEACHER!
Her grading system is very confusing. There's lots of tedious online homework. She would go on rants every class unrelated to the class that would waste time so everyone would have to do work that should've been done in class outside of class
This professor really pushes you, but she genuinely cares about her students. She is slow at grading assignments- it usually takes about 2-3 weeks to get exam grades back. However, she allows exams corrections, which helped me a lot in my learnings. She is very flexible with due dates of exam and assignments.
