She's such a nice lady
ogodshessooeasy
clear interesting
it is a mistake if you dont take her
Extremely nice, easy marker, did i say nice?? fun class..
nice teacher gives u all the helps but does not prepare u for exams..hw/q r very different from final..u'll have a heart attack. but nice lady.
She is great!!!! Fun class!!!!! Good Marker!!!
Clear, logical, interesting
very nice teacher
She is a super nice and helpful teacher, the best math teacher ive ever had. I used to hate math and now i feel very comfortable with it.
She's so nice. Really friendly and helpful. Even though, like most Langara profs, she takes it straight from the book, she goes as slow as you need, and explains it all clearly until you understand. She's great.
She an easy teacher in math 1174, but Not a good teacher. While she explains things well, her methods of testing leave something to be desired. Her mid terms aren't related with the homework/lectures which is how I feel a math test should be structured.
very friendly lady. not a bad teacher, conveys ideas well most of the time. midterms aren't that bad
VERY nice lady. its a pleasure to be in her class. Funny, teaches VERY well, takes her time, relaxed, very nice atmosphere. Midterms are fair not too hard marks fair and sometimes gives u full marks eventhough u made a small mistake. GREAT PROF!!!
she is awesome. makes the class fun. doesn't bs you. reviews a lot before tests. is flexible with marking test questions. she's really funny and makes a 2 hour math class as fun as it can be!
Nora is very helpful and tries to make her lectures entertaining. I really enjoyed her class.
she is so nice. class is not boring at all. quizes are easy, exams are kinda easy. take her class, and u will get A.
Students are truly pampered !! in this daycare environment. Doesn't try to talk like scholars as others do and explains theories "like u r a 6 yr old". I failed Cal. for 3 times, now, I wish she could be my resv. Math teacher for the rest of my
She's a great teacher and her intelligence is underestimated by those students who are in class to goof around. She is very clear and precise with her teaching. Has a good sense of humour too. Recomended.
She is wonderful, the best teacher I've ever had.Recommended
hehe, shes a rellie good teacher! best teacher ever, she helps u alot as long as u come to class, listens to her lecture, & study. hehe can't believe there's a teacher like her... very nice n funny lady, she makes math fun ;) i recommend her, REALLY!!!!
she is a great teacher with sense of humour and she makes the class enjoyable. she is really clear with her explanation, so i came out of that class knowing what i was doing. her tests and quizzes are fair plus she a pretty easy marker.
shes a great teacher. helpful, and easy to understand. her exams arent that bad
Awesome teacher. If you want to pass in math with good grade, take her. You will not regret that.
Pretty easy teacher with helpful notes.
My favorite Math teacher, I wish she taught Calc. Smart, helpful, shy, great notes, great marker. She likes her students, wants them to do well, laid-back. Take her if you want to enjoy math!
Nora is so lovely..she is full of energy...its really fun to be in her class ... notes r so clear...she makes the class so enjoyable that u never wanna leave it!:>apart from being an instructor , she is a wonderfull friend for all students... enjoy the
I strongly recommend you to take her class. Clear explanation, showing enough examples in class, appropriate amount of homework, and reasonable mid-term. I will take her for my further course, too. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED INSTRUCTOR.
the best teacher i've ever had!!! She is clear, organized, friendly, and humble. She enjoys teaching, math, and students. She makes things as simple as possible, lots of short quizes, assignments, and gives an in-depth list of practice problems. Easy to talk to, and very very helpful.
Super friendly Super helpful, never done better in math than in her class. awesome teacher
Nora is a pretty good teacher. She likes to teach students and has fun in classes. She is usually avaliable to help outside class time. Her tests are not that easy but if study enough they can be. There are alot of quizzes and homework. Only bad thing: the hw that's assigned is not covered in class.
She's a great teacher. I will only take math with her.
Nora Franzova is a wonderful teacher. She is very encouraging, and she wants all her students to do well. Furthermore, her marking standards are reasonable and honest.
NORA IS KEWL! she wants all her students to pass! she actually read us a book in class! she is nice and funny... when ppl's cell phones go off she starts laughing and either hums to the tune and starts dancing or "goes its not mine"KEWL TEACHER! :D sad shes not teachin math 1170 :(
a lovely teacher~! Her class is always full of fun~!She wants everyone to understand her teaching~! midterms are easy if u really learn her notes and the marks are fair~! take her~!
omg...this is one hack of a teacher teaching one hack of a class....she is so easy and nice...she tells you what's gonna be on the exams and gives you lots n lots chance to get an A...and i love her speeches...
she is such an amazing teacher ! her class is full of fun and every students seem to just love her. her class is easy as well as mids, but as a result u will find out the final turns out really tough.
The best teacher in langara,I love her.Very patient,she tries her best to teach this course,her teaching is clear and interesting.I highly recommend her.
You gotta love this teacher. She is the best math teacher ever and also a very nice person and lots of fun. She always give hints (wink, wink...!) Her explanations are very clear. If you pay attention and go to class, you'll do just fine. I got an A with her and I'm not a great fan of numbers.
she is a nice teacher in langara. her quizzz are easy,but midterms aren't easy as the quizzz.Take her if you want to get higher marks,but you have to know math .
nothing to say but shez great...trust me...awsome math teacher...
she is sooooo awesome!!! you gotta take her class. she is just great. strongly strongly recommend her.if you study her assignments and quizzes, you will be totally fine. she has math actually kinda fun. the best i have had at langara for sure!!
i wish she could be my teacher for every subject forever, i would no doubt be a genius then because no matter what topic it is, she makes it easy to understand...seriously, take her course already! your marks will go up, and that's a promise
Nice teacher
makes a hard class bareable. if you don't look at the text book before class you will have a hard time following the lecture though. quizzes and midterms are fair, but as i said this class is challenging. you need to be good at math to get a good grade.
lovely teacher! she even likely to tell math-story in class. that makes fun rite? also a fair marker. i easily get an A
she's nice n' her classes were not boring. fair marker. not much homework.
Awesome teacher! Very nice. One of the best math teachers at langara. She's v. knowledgeable, keeps the class interesting, v. clear with what she is explaining. Always helps the students whenever needed (even before quizzes). Gives extra time for quiz/midterms. Great teacher, will get an A if you understand calc.
i think shes the best math teacher @ langara he goes thru everything step by step which is needed in math and she makes sure everyone gets each step well. shes also nice and has a sense of humour
Just loved her class. Never ever thought math could be fun.. until I took her math course. Lots of homework and quizzes but sure helps out for the final. Would recommend her to anyone. Fair marker and good at explaining concepts.
Awesome teacher. She knows what she's doing..she gives you plenty of examples to know what's on the exam...I definitely recommend her. A note to students who haven't taken math in a while: Go to class everyday and use the cd from your text book..you only have an hour for exams so make sure you study well.
Nora teaches WELL and goes through all the steps so that you have a clear understanding of the content. She's funny, knows her stuff, and will drill the main concepts into your head. Her quizzes are easy as long as you pay attention in class and do the homework. MTs are easy if you do well on the quizzes - no surprises! My FAVOURITE math teaher!!
very good math teacher. entertains the students in everyway. She is really into getting the material across. She is also very clear on her midterms. just do the hw and go to class and it would be an easy A- / B+
Nora, is a very sweet lady, and an excellent teacher! I learned a lot in her classes and had an awesome time!
I looked forward to Nora's class every day cause it was so much fun. She explains things so well with a brilliant touch of wit and humour, her examples are clear and straightforward, assignments and tests are very reasonable and she lets you know exactly what to expect ahead of time. She's one of my favourite profs ever!
nora is such a great professor!! you just have to attend class every day. you don't really have to read form the text book because nora will summarize n teach based on the text book. assignments are kindda tough but you'll manage to do it. go to the math center! for midterms, you just have to study from notes nora gave, quizes and assignment.
Probably this is the first time she teaches linear algebra. The questions on the test and the way of marking are not a good evaluation for the students' proficiency. The tests will turn out a student with a lower proficiency gets higher marks than a student with higher proficiency.But she is responsible and care about her students.Very good-hearted
da 'Math Goddess' literally! She made n avg. 75% student like me into her "A+ Lady" (im quoting her own words here!) calculus n possibly all math with her is like a fairytale dat ur brain n heart will dance thru... serious! Profs like her r a gift to studentkind. U got the zeal to learn? :) She'll provide you with the rest to succeed. Take my word!
awesome teacher, really keeps math interesting. I mean how many of us truly do find math interesting? decent tests, has one or two trick questions usually but even if you don't see the trick, u won't loose too many marks.
Honestly, she is one of the best maths teachers I have ever had. She always tries to inject some humour into the class to keep people awake and interested. Unlike some other teachers, there is no hesitance to participate. People actively jump in at any time, and she likes it that way, to know that her students are interested and interacting.
Best math teacher by far. Tells you what you need to know, gives crystal clear instructions and makes math bearable with humor. She'll hint on the type of questions on exams and quizzes which makes studying a lot simpler. Might I add she's also a very delightful lady; I'll reluctantly go to class everyday (it's math...) and leave a happy camper.
She is a very dedicated teacher! She not only teaches so everyone understands, but she also helps students during office hours. She's not as difficult to approach, and no intimidated feelings as well. She will explain everything until its crystal clear.
she's hilarious! perhaps a little strange as well, but it just makes math so much better and more tolerable than it usually is. she tells u whats on the quiz and tries to help u by making deals (omit quizzes/midterms if u do better on the next ones)
just like the other comments..she's the best math prof EVER! she actually wants u to understand everything and more importantly, get a good grade..which is actually POSSIBLE!
She is a good teacher. She helps you a lot to get through the course.
She cares about her students......I like her.
Amazing teacher, worth being on the wait list for. She is geared for students who are mathematically weaker and need the calculus credits. If you are actually interested in math and good at it, take someone else. Overall super nice, and crystal clear.
AMAZING!
Contrary to everyone else, I am not a fan. Even though I am getting a good grade, something about her just rubs me the wrong way. When asking her about the grading of my paper,and she gave me some sass back like,"well how am I supposed to grade one sentence". She does fine with presenting the material, and im clearly learning, BUT i dont like HER.
Not really a fan. She lacks a little tact and says some mildly offensive things often. Teaching-wise, she's OK. If there are two ways to do things, she'll show you the one she likes best and then ignores other methods. Doesn't seem to understand that people look at math differently and contrasting methods can be extremely useful.
The best prof ever! I dropped out of math 1174 once with other instructor because I was told that I wasnt ready for this course..But Nora gave me an A! Her lecture is crystal clear and enjoyable and I could easily understand things that I never understood in the previous math class. I hated math but now I like math!
Not only does her accent keep you intrigued, but she's witty and fun. Her methods of teaching is easy to understand, and she's very acceptable to questions and helping you understand the material when you ask her. Also she's got an interesting wardrobe ;D
AWESOME
Very easy class (1190 is basically elementary school math). You need to review for her 2 tests, but it's not hard. 1 assignment, 1 journal per week. She is slightly offensive sometimes but she doesn't mean to be and is helpful when you have questions. Recommended.
She's the best
Love Nora, this class is easy..i did not take french 12 but was able to pass this class very easily. She gives one journal and one assignment every week and they're easy. Her tests are harder than the assignments but she allows you to bring a cheat sheet. She has an accent and sometimes says funny things but i love her, i would recommend her.
Nora is the best calculus professor you will ever find! She is truly passionate about what she does, and really cares for her students. Notes are crystal clear, barely had to look at textbook. Gives hints for exams, and cracks some funny jokes!! If you are not a math person, I recommend you take her class. She is simply the best!!
Great classroom energy, never boring. Very helpful and will explain things again if you don't understand. Gives lots of part marks where they are due and obviously wants her students to do well. She's great!
Nora..u r the best:) really kind hearted, great attitude towards students and really helpful. Math with Nora is like a "Yogi bear" adventure:) full of energy and motivation. U r the sweetest teacher for the next 1000 years :))
Definitely my favourite teacher out of the four I had this semester. Her way of teaching is effective and she keeps you interested. Her personality is so sweet & I wish I was better at math to take her more advanced classes!
SO awful. Whenever you asked a question she would just repeat herself. Her accent made things hard, and she seemed completely disinterested in her students. Thank god the class is being taught by a different prof this semester.
If you want a stress free semester of math Nora is the teacher to take. Definately a very good instrutor. Only downside is that she tends to judge students during the first week or two, but if you show up do the homeworks you can the mark you want. Definately Recommended!!
She is soooo great!!!Absolutely love her! You will never get bored in her class.She is energentic and humorous. She explains everything clearly and is always willing to help you out when you have questions.
Very sweet, humorous teacher :) Lots of quiz/exam hints in class (quizzes are almost every week). The way she taught made it feel as if this was more of a review class for people who've taken some form of calc so keep that in mind if you're a little rusty or are having problems in math. If you want an easy class though, then definitely take her.
A very nice lady, and it's clear that she's very passionate and knowledgable about her subject, but her lectures were mostly incomprehensible. Heavy textbook use will save you. Linear algebra is where engineers go to die.
She is the best teachers I have ever met!!! I have to say that if you wanna make a good grade on math, you also need to be calm when doing the quizzes and tests! Nora is very good!!! I take her course because my friend recommends me to do so! I really enjoy having her class!!I wont forget.lol
Nora is by far the best prof I've had at Langara. She is funny, clear, makes sure everyone understands, is passionate about math and overall made learning math an enjoyable experience. Something I never thought I would say! Very helpful and understanding.
Weird to say, but Nora makes learning math a pleasant experience. Her work is very clean and easy to follow. Extremely nice and adds some witty comments while she's explaining her work. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with math.
Love her! She's great.
She is super nice!! I always hate math but she makes it fun! intersting jokes, clear thoughts. quiz every day sometimes you do group quizzes and take home quizzes if you pay attention and do assignment every day you will get a good mark.
Although math1152 is a lower level course to first year calculus, I highly recommend students to take this course before taking higher level (unless you're capable of doing math.) This is not only because of Nora's sense of humor, but everything she taught will help you do well in your math1171, 1174, or even higher level courses. She's the best!
Her sense of humour made the course for me. But the tests can be quite difficult if you don't pay attention in class. I felt a bit unprepared for the final, but still managed to do okay in the end. I would definitely take her again.
Honestly, probably the best professor at Langara. She is extremely friendly and approachable. Her office hours are extremely helpful; use it to your advantage! Loves to give extra credit and is a generous marker. Very easy to talk to and explains things very well. Thanks for a great semester, Nora!
If you have the opportunity to be in her class, you'd be really lucky because she is the BEST math prof in Langara, yes, she is the BEST.
Nora was awesome. Her notes are easy to follow and she explains everything in a very clear way. Do homework and you'll pass no problem
She is such an awesome prof and definitely in my top 3 profs of Langara. Her tests are quite long but every single question is from the material that she's covered clearly. If her class has a free spot, don't wait!
AMAZING INSTRUCTOR! Good marker ..... she has changed my perception of math! Quizzes every week, but at the end of the semester she drops two of your worst. Also, if you do 80% of the homework assigned, she'll bump you up to 100%. Would highly recommend nora for any math course!
took Darkoh Emmanuel at first, it was the worst chioce ever, however he is sick, and Nora took over his course, she took higher mark on midterm2 and final to replace my failing Midterm1, and i manger to get an A by justing reviewing what she exactly mentioned on the class.
Nora is a lovely teacher. I visited many of her office hours since calculus is not my strongest suit. Her lectures are very clear and understandable. She adapts to the classes needs and just wishes for everyone to succeed. She has quirky jokes here and there. The best math teacher in the department.
Nora is an amazing prof! Wish I could take all math courses with her. She is super helpful. Do not be afraid to visit her office hours.
Nora is one of the best prof in Langara, we all love her. She taught easily. She used the material the same as the 152 in UBC, so it's great for transfer stds. She used a great online homework tool called lyryx. Nora always called us her "technology department ", and gave lots of chocolate and candies, she is so cute!
Possibly one of my favourite teachers in this college! She explains things so clearly, and makes many funny jokes. If you plan to take Math 1190 I highly recommend her!
She makes math fun to learn and teaches you a lot about things you wouldn't realise you didn't understand about basic math. Be careful that you get good partners for the group project. I reviewed the online and written assignments and that made the exams a breeze. Focused on doing the math problems not memorisation of words or formulas.
Don't be afraid to speak up in class if you don't understand. She will take the time to review concepts until you do understand. Her exams are straight forward just review the assignments and notes. She does have weekly online Connect questions, and bi-weekly written assignments. She is a very fair marker, and makes the concepts easy to grasp.
Cool teacher. Easy class, easy assignments, easy tests. 2 group projects.
Nora is freaking amazing! Shes is funny, great at teaching and fair, what else could you want! If she was teaching a higher level calculus I would even take that just for her haha. But seriously though, she loves teaching and you can tell, take it with her!
I found this class very hard for a first year course. I would recommend taking it with a different prof. When I went to see Nora during office hours she didn't really help me understand the problem and was more concerned that I wouldn't pass the class for not understanding it.
She has no inspiration to teach at all
Dr. Franzova is a very understanding prof who cares about her students. Her lectures are a little dry, but she does make it entertaining with some funny jokes/humor. Her marking is relatively lenient as well, which is encouraging while trying to learn something like linear algebra.
Nora is a nice and experienced teacher. She gives many explanation and useful example in class. And the difficulty won't be very high if you follow the class carefully. The second half of the course will cost you some time to think about. Highly recommend her class.
One of the best instructors at Langara.
if you have the opportunity to take her, do it!! She is so funny and so understanding. Her midterms and finals are super fair and tells you what/how to study for the exams. When she tells you what topics may be covered, write them down! theyll be on there 100%. I wish I had her for all of my math classes. My first A in math was in her class. 11/10
Professor Franzova is a great math instructor. Her lectures are engaging, and she provides clear explanations. The coursework is manageable if you stay on top of it. I found Unstuck AI very helpful for study prep.
My second time taking linear algebra. She makes the test focus on the main points of what is learned in class instead of cramming a bunch of practice questions for the students to do tediously. Gives a ton of extensions for online homework and matlab. I was shocked at how well I did this time around because I did poorly in engineering lin alg.
Nora is an amazing professor for MATH1252. Nora has a deep appreciation and love towards Math and she is extremely caring and is a great instructor. While she does go by quickly during lectures, Nora is always willing to answer questions and help out whenever. Would recommend for this class!
Nora is awesome. Come to class, keep up with the textbook readings, and you will do great
