She moves very quickly, and for those poor at math, too quickly. She tries very hard though, and helps you when you need help. However, the quizzes and tests are much more difficult than the homework and reviews, and so you'll want to have the concepts down pat before you take them.

I took this course, convinced no one could teach me Calculus and make me like it. I loved it. Mrs. Hernandez takes math and makes it something you can visualize, understand, and recreate. This is huge, because I am definitely a visual learner when it comes to math. She gives TONS of examples, shows pitfalls, and grades work super fast. 10/10

Professor H is hands-down the best math teacher I've ever had! I'm someone who's always really struggled with math/math anxiety, but her lectures are very easy to follow. She's phenomenal at explaining things and stops to ask if anyone has questions before moving on. Even online, the lectures were great! Always willing to help outside of class too.

She is so helpful and supportive. I also chose the other class before I swap to her class. She teaches very easy understanding and support students to prepare for the review or exam very closely. The quiz and exams are not too hard if you always attend the class. You should take her class because it is easier than the other professor.

Prof Hernandez is exactly what you'd want out of a math teacher. She's firm about attendance and turning homework in on time (which is all on MyMathLab), but she has office hours and is more than willing to go over every question on the homework until you get it. There's only one offer of extra credit so missing one quiz/test will kill your grade.

Prof. Hernandez really cares about her students and you can tell- She always makes sure that everyone is understanding during the lectures, and she grades looking for points, rather than looking for where to take off. Attendance is weird cause she does random attendance quizzes but I don't think they're a huge part of your grade. But she is great!
