She is very easy to understand. she answers all the questions. and she takes time to go over things until we get it!

I really like her as a teacher. The class wasn't hard for me to begin with, but she makes it fun and interesting; you can tell that she really likes teaching and wants to be there.

Ok teacher. Kind of boring and class seems to go forever. She really likes to teach though. Easy class and tests are somewhat challenging, but if you do your homework you'll be fine.

Nora is a good teacher but she tends to go pretty fast. If you don't understand something ASK, and she'll explain. She tries hard to help you understand the material. If you do the homework you will do fine in the class. Tests are a challenge...but then again, shouldn't they be? Do homework = do well in class.

I had heard pretty bad things about calculus but Nora was very helpful in getting through the material. She really enjoys teaching and her enthusiasm shows! She is understanding and very helpful in class and during her office hours. Homework is regular but it is helpful that she allows one class before it is due to ask any questions you have.

Nora is an excellent teacher. She explains things very well. Asigns only odd's in book for homework and if you get a 90% or above on homework yor lowest test score is dropped! Very nice and helpful!

Good teacher although the material can be hard so do all the homework so that you get to understand it.

Very good teacher, she has a LOT of info to go through, o sometimes it can be overwhelming, but she really knows what she's doing and has a very organized class. You get a pre-test hich is similar to the real test, so study it and you'll do good. Very nice and helpful, loves math, and loves teaching it! Definately recommend her!!

Mrs. Wheeler was the best math teacher I have ever had. I'm used to getting C's and D's in math and I got an A last semester. The homework isn't due until the test day so you have plenty of time to makeup work if you fall behind. She is easy to listen to and has a sense of humor. Do the minimum: pay attention and do the hw and youll do great!

I think she might be the best teacher I have ever had. She was really helpful and she always has her office door open if you need to talk to her. I usually don't do very well at math but she makes it really easy to follow. Highly recommended

I had to drop this class last semester b/c I was failing, but with Nora I Aced the class. She makes it so easy to understand and explains very well. Examples from class are helpful for homework. I definitely recommend her

She is a nice teacher but her lectures are sometimes confusing. I would usually try to write down her examples and teach it to myself later. She is fair but very hard. You get no grade for effort last semester i spent 200 hours in the tutorial center and still got a D. If you understand math she is a great teacher but if not i wouldnt take her.

Great teacher! Got an A. Very clear lesson plan, and helpful on homework questions.

She was an amazing teacher. Thanks to her i finally understood math. She is more than willing to meet you after class and help you with whatever you need. Highly Recommend her!!

i would not have taken this class with any other instructor. she clearly answers all questions asked. and her review sheets for the tests are helpful. she will drop your lowest test score if you have 80% or higher on hw.

Nora may seem intimidating at first but is a great teacher. She is the clearest math teacher I have ever had because she REALLY knows calculus. She is very helpful, loves to answer questions. Do the homework, listen in lecture, and (my biggest reccommendation to you in the Math 8 series) buy the answer book from the bookstore (helps a lot).

At first I was getting a C in the class. I talked to her about it and asked her for her help. She was awesome!! She answered all my questions and did a thorough review before each test,which helped me get an A in the class.I highly recommend her. Ask for help if you need it.

Her tests are difficult, but she's a very good teacher, which helps bridge that gap. Make sure to do as much of the homework as possible because if you score >80% on the homework, she drops your lowest test score, which will be a life saver.

Best teacher ever! Made me understand Math. Had taken math155 over 3 times and dropped it always until I got Nora. Test amount for 60% of your grade and will drop your lowest test if you do all homework which is due at the time of the test. Good sense of humor, willing to help if you ask her for it. Always there during office hours.

Three words, best teacher ever!!!!for *b, which is calculus by the way.

Test is very difficult, make you feel like math for people who alway get A's only anything less get out. Even if your good at math before, still get ready for a battle, if ur not good at math, change major's you will not pass her class. Since test are broken to 2 part is hard to go back and check ur work.

Great Teacher. Tests are hard, majority are non-calculator. Very helpful and nice. Don't expect her to give back if she makes a test to long. If taking 1A expect large commitment. Show up to every class. If your looking for easy move on. Hard grader and grading scale. Know your Algebra and Trig! I still like her a lot though!

great teacher, definitely not the easiest but not too hard compared to other math 1a teachers. Knows what she is talking about, always willing to go back and help u understand something. Keeps class fun and lighthearted, but u will definitely learn a lot and be challenged. I definitely recommend that u take her class.

Nora Wheeler is a great teacher, she is easy to understand and will work with you. She not too hard or too easy, she is just right. The only problem was she was absent the last week of class but I highly recommend her.

I LOVED her. I wish she could teach all of my math classes, past and present. Really nice, made me laugh everyday, super patient, always willing to go over something in class or office hours. No question was stupid. Expects you to do BASIC math by hand (which is good) and not be so reliable w/ a calc. I learned to do fractions by hand.

Nora is a serious, dedicated teacher, and if you are ready to learn and work hard, I recommend her for Math 1A. She's clear, organized, and entertaining, and always willing to help students during office hours. But you will absolutely have to work hard and spend a lot of time on homework.

Nora is a very good teacher, and very helpful.You will have a lot of homework during semester which will not be graded;however, you will be really well prepared for tests. She always provide students with practice test before the actual test, which I found really helpful.

I LOVE her. She has to be the best math teacher I've ever had. She explains everything so clearly and is super helpful. Her tests are hard, but they make sure you know your stuff. I recommend her to EVERYONE. And she is super nice and funny. Makes learning exciting and interesting!

Best math teacher I've ever had by far; hardest class I've ever had by far; totally worth it. I was never into math before her. She's clear, funny, and offers armloads of help. If you're a serious student and you want to learn to be a good thinker and problem-solver, take her. Beware: the chance of getting an A is very low, despite hard studying.

BEST math teacher ever! She makes the material easy and clear, if you listen in class. There were people being rude and not paying attention ended up failing the class. but if you pay attention, the class and homework are just easy. Definitely recommend her to anyone. She also has lots ot office hour.

Nora is a great math teacher. She's super clear and focused as she works you through the concepts. She is also funny and mom-cute. I had to put in a LOT of time outside class to do well, because she expects you to know what you're doing when it's test time. She's a strict but fair grader. Highly recommended.

I expected this class would be an easy review for me, but I was wrong. The class was fast pace and the test were pretty hard, because you had to know your stuff. At the same time, she was super clear on what she was expecting and if you put in the time to do all the homework correctly and ask questions during class and office hours you'll be ok.

Friendly and always wants to help her students. Class lecture is not sufficient to complete homework without help. Lots of homework. Homework is graded. Exams can be difficult. Would not recommend unless you have a high aptitude for math.

Best teacher I've had so far! I'm terrible at math, but for once, I actually understood it, even though I took it during the summer! She's funny, and will help you if you need it. She lectures and then makes you do problems on the board, which really helped, but is very strict about the way in which you write them out.I'd take her again if need be.

I loved taking from Wheeler, she would post all the notes and lectures and examples online so that you had access to them if you needed them adn if you missed you could still figure out what you missed. She was very helpful and answered any questions that arose. I will take her again because she is the best math teacher I have had.

Always willing to help her students.

She writes her class lecturesnotes on a tablet then postes them all online! I loved it. I wish all mathany teacher would use this method for our easy references. I was able to focus all of my attention on absorbing the material instead of writing it all down. Wonderfull!

She is the best math instructor! She does her best to explain things clearly and is very organized. Her lecturesnotes are super helpful. Homework is essential to get an A. Tests are not open note but you're allowed a small note card on the final. Her tests are two-part tests, in which you are allowed a calculator on the 2nd half. Take her!

Cool as a cucumber

Nora is almost always in a good mood. She is very knowledgeable, super duper nice, and a pleasure to spend 5 hours a week with. Her course is rigorous. She is very organized with her lectures and covers all the necessary material. She provides practice tests with solutions. I think she's hot.

Math 1A with Wheeler was by far the hardest class I have ever taken. She assigns 10+ hours of homework every week and it's nearly impossible to finish all the homework and still have time left to study the material. The tests were super tricky and confusing at times. Would advise to take another professor for 1A.

Explains the concepts very well. There's homework for every section, and a lot, but not due until test day. Always available for help. As long as you show up, take notes, and ask questions, you'll pass.

Nora is an amazing math teacher, I had her for a 150a/150b review corse. I can honestly say I have never enjoyed math more or understood it more clearly than in this class. Through school I was always the student to ask my teachers "but why" she truly values your understanding of the "why" and is happy to explain it. She is awesome, take her class.

She's a good teacher no doubt, but moves at a very quick pace and expects a lot out of her students. Such as 15+ hours of homework a week. Tests are very tricky. Don't take if this is your first time in calculus.

Great Professor. Enthusiastic, lectures were very useful and well-explained. Tests were fair, nothing tricky about them (similar or easier than homework). Only downside is the extensive homework load, and her homework grading. She only grades two problems from homework rather than completeness. She's worth taking , put in work and you will learn.

Nora teaches the class with providing a small sample size of example problems for each topic with decent explanations of concepts. Sometimes this is enough, but a lot of the time the homework asked for more than what she provided for notes. I would recommend if you are okay with an accelerated teaching model and doing additional research for topics

Calculus is great!

So much homework. No time to eat. I lost almost 10lbs. I only had one other class. Each assignment took me 6 hours to do. I realized the most difficult problems were at the end where I would run out of steam. Doing the homework backwards cut the time in half. I rate a 5 because Math 1B was cake after her class. She gets you ready for the big one.

i took her math 151 class and i loved the way she teaches and she wants everyone to succeed. if you struggle in math she is perfect for you. i was able to come out with an A in the class. one thing i agree on with others is there is a lot of homework she assigns but her tests are easy. they are more based of her lecture notes and study guide

Nora is awesome. Everything about her is beautiful. She enjoys when the class participates and you can tell she is passionate about the subject. Probably the best math teacher I have ever had. She teaches the material thoroughly and stops for questions and clarification throughout the lessons. Her office hours are fantastic. Shecares about students

Nora Wheeler expects a lot from you, especially information you've learned from previous semesters. However, she is very accessible outside and inside of class to get help. She didn't make homework due for us, but they're similar to quizzes she does every week. She wants you to ask questions about the homework or concepts. Don't be afraid to ask!!

By far my favorite instructor. Her lectures are clear and well planned. She has a great personality and attitude that made me love coming to class four times a week. She was also so helpful in that she scanned notes after every lecture, used free online textbooks, and provided you with a list of topics and practice tests before each exam.

Nora is a greater teacher who is willing to spend time with students to make sure they are ready to move to the next class. She is very clear during lectures on what will be on the exam. The greatest thing about her class are her lecture notes that she posts online right after class. Beware: She loves fractions!

I really REALLY enjoy Nora's approach to teaching a subject that isn't everybody's favorite, let's be honest here. As a former instructor myself, I take notice of preparation of all my instructors (not to judge, just out of habit) and she's on top of her game. Math is math, right? Who loves it? Not many. She makes it palatable, and I learned.

She is my favorite math teacher. So funny, smart, energetic. I enjoy coming to her class early in the morning and actually get sad if I miss her class! She makes you learn, and I mean learn for a life time. Definitely inspirational. Makes me want to become a math professor just like her :) I wish she taught calc 3 for next semester! def recommend

Looking back, Nora has by far been the best math teacher I have ever had at any of the schools I have attended. I took a Math150A spring course with her as well as a summer Math150B course. Her notes are SO organized and clear. She made funny jokes in class to lighten the mood and was really helpful whenever you asked her questions.

Nora is a great teacher that, unlike many of the reviews, explains nearly everything to a useful degree. She keeps the lectures engaging (useful for a daily early class) and taught me second semester Calculus in a way that was right for me. Highly recommended if you want a decent challenge (It's a 5 unit class after all) and actually want to learn.

Good teacher, she has a great sense of humor to make class more fun. I took her class for 155 and she was good. Exams followed the material, just don't miss class. I would forsure take her again. Recommended.

One of the best Math classes I have taken. Don't be afraid to ask questions, she tries to explain in different ways and is happy to give example problems. Also available to help on homework questions by solving it with the class.

Nora is fair teacher. If she's extremely challenging to you thats probably because either 1. you don't pay attention or ask questions then blame the teacher 2. it's math what did you expect. She's very helpful and understanding of student's situations. Overall one of the best teachers I've had at the jc.

Really awesome math teacher. She is super helpful and accesible. I have never understood math until taking her class

wheeler is a pretty great teacher. Shes always willing to help as long as you ask for it. Math was never my strong suit but taking her really helped me develop way better math skills. Its really crucial that you do the hw, they always show up on quizzes and tests. If you do your work and keep up and ask her questions, youll get a good grade.

Wheeler is an amazing teacher and is willing to go out of her way to help you. She is very clear with what she expects from you but she expects a lot so be prepared. You have to put in a lot of effort into the homework or you will not pass. She provides very detailed practice tests to prepare you and the tests are almost identical to the practice.

she's very nice and understanding professor but in my opinion she teaches different material than I was taught back in high school also because its been awhile since I took math. its all up to you If you want to take her class. I would recommend trying her class first and see if you understand her material then if not don't take it.

I had Nora for 3 semesters, from 1A to 1B and 1C, both in person and online, and I loved the way she taught in both platforms. You could tell she had a lot of fun talking about calculus and that enthusiasm made the class very enjoyable. There is definitely a lot expected of you, but the challenge makes you really learn and its very rewarding.

I had Nora for 1B when was great transitioning to online, then I had her for her first 1C class. Her tests reflected the homework and lectures, the lectures were amazing and made it easy to understand the concepts. The tests were difficult, be she was always there to help out. The homework was long but she graded every other assignment.

When I first took this class I hadn't taken a math class in about 2 years and I was super nervous. Nora does everything in her power to make sure her students succeed and even has a review day before test where you all go over a practice test. Overall she inspired me to do great in math and I have a new found love for math.

Ms. Wheeler is a hard teacher, but she gives good foundation. Would 100% take this again if I needed to.

Any math class with Professor Wheeler is great! She does a great job balancing lectures with classwork so I felt like I could practice what I was learning during class. She is willing to help students with homework during office hours and makes sure we are prepared for the material by showing students how to do the hardest problems during class.

Great professor! Math 1A is a hard class, but she does a good job of preparing you for Math 1B. Hard problems are done a lot so when you encounter easier ones they're alot easier. I would definitely take her again if I had the chance! Lots of homework, but it helps you really learn the material well.

This was my first math class in almost 2 years and despite it being very hard, Professor Wheeler made it easy to understand. I still struggled the whole semester but that was due to my own faults. She makes it interesting and explains why she does every step. Even if you mess up she doesn't get upset and is happy to take extra time helping you out

Really good teacher who cares about you passing!

Very good teacher who is caring and wants you to pass!

One of the best math teachers at srjc. Very caring and always willing to help struggling students.

Professor wheeler is a teacher you should take if your someone who has struggled in math in the past.i was nervous going into the class but thanks to her I was able to make it.

Math 27 specific is a very difficult class, that's why it's 6 units. She is sweet but also has to teach 6 units worth of material in one semester, it is very FAST.

Math 1A is a challenging course, but Professor Nora's clear teaching style and helpful practice tests make it manageable. Consistent homework is key, and unstuck ai can be a lifesaver for study prep.

Having climbed the math pyramid at SRJC, looking back Wheeler laid down amazing foundation. I have never felt like my calc skills were lacking. She did have challenging exams and a lot of homework, but honestly I would 100% take her again. Thanks Wheeler for preparing me well!

This class is super fast paced and you can quickly go from understanding something in a unit, to quickly getting a headache from all of the new information she is dumping on you. Each assignment can take up to two or three hours. You must attend in person in order to succeed. Two thirds of my class dropped/failed.

She's a solid professor. She has a fun personality so the lectures aren't bad, and the practice exams are really good. She assigns tons of homework problems in bulk but she just occasionally checks if you are doing them and gives credit for that. She made us calculate our own grade, didn't use canvas for that. Not my favorite class but it was fine
