This class provided no practical application whatsoever. It was a waste of time and money. I am just glad to have passed the course. There was zero instruction or assistance from Ms. Duck. I was surprised to read good ratings. When I sought help from her, Ms. Duck had nothing more to say to me than "online classes aren't for everyone."

Horrible, do not take this woman.

I made the huge mistake of taking Cal 1 online. I really tried very hard doing homework, quizzes and assignments but it is just to hard to teach yourself. The deadline for the assignments is every 2 days M-W-F and if you work on problems after the deadline, there is a 10% penalty for each problem. The final is different that the review she provides

Online class is not helpful.

She doesnt provide help. She just give years old youtube videos(most of it arent even hers) and tells us to just do the HW problems(which are due everyday). HW are done and graded by MyMathLabs. No effort is put to her class, must be her easiest paycheck. You can study very hard everyday and not get a good grade. She should curve our grades atleast

Don't ever take her summer courses unless you want to spend your entire summer solving her puzzles just to have her fail you. She clearly doesn't know how to do calculus and takes it out on the students.

Mrs. Satterfield is VERY hard. If it's your first time taking trig, you are likely to not understand much of the problems she works through in class. But the real problem begins when you ask questions about things she thinks you should already know. She tends to be condescending when answering.

Lot's of work, zero feedback/communication. You need to 100% already know Cal to pass this class. Tests differ from reviews drastically.

I've never hated a class so much. I'm only half way through the semester and I so desperately want to be done with this class. The test reviews take me about 4 hours to complete. They're extremely redundant and not helpful. My friend that took the class with a different professor said hers was much much easier. Please do not take Satterfieldsclass.

WAYY to much homework. If you plan to just take her class and only just her class, then take her, but it was ridiculous.

Watch out! Homework is expected to be done BEFORE every class period, daily grades are taken at random to keep you on your toes. Tests are not open note and require heavy studying, most people in my tuesday/thursday class have either dropped or are currently failing. Good Luck :)

Worst Trig. Professor by far! I thought Susan belimick was hard but Pamela is worst! Doesn't help you review for any tests, expects you to know the course and study on your own. Makes up her own problems and doesnt go over everything needed to complete HW and material that will be on test! Dont take her if you want to fail! She truly doesnt care

I decided to take online calculus over the summer with her as I didn't think it would be too bad. The class is incredibly hard, tests are worth almost all of your grade, and she doesn't seem to care at all about whether her students do well or not. The most frustrating experience I've ever had in my schooling career.

Took her online class and it was awful. She hardly ever responded to emails or offered any help. Doing the reviews for the test were basically useless because the test would have problems that you didnt study for. I recommend not taking her for any class.

Horrible. Says they offer tutoring to help but they did not. The online videos she uses for her lecture are not even her so when you do your work how the video explains to you she takes points away because she wants something different that we haven't learned. Do not take her online course.

worst professor ive ever had, shes blunt and calls students out if they get problems wrong, follows notes in every lecture and works easier problems than whats assigned, exams are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT and harder than what she teaches in class, homework is given every night along with surprise daily grades in class. she also had a sour attitude :/

there is a lot of similar homework you need to do, but she is not going to collect them often, so if you miss a class, you might mess up your grade, and then waiting for the tests! There are more than half of my classmates drop the class or they don't even mind to do the test anymore. I think her online class might be a little easier, more helpful.

My warning is this. Run! Run as far away from this teacher as you can if you want to keep a high GPA. She doesn't do any reviews for tests and never offers extra credit. She hardly ever gives partial credit on answers. She rarely collects homework so you will not have anything to cushion your grade. Please do yourself a favor, choose someone else.

if you expect to pass trigonometry, do not take this professor. the most toughest grader I have met, doesn't really care about grades. I have always been great at math, all A's every year until now because her lessons are easier than the tests, did test corrections and couldn't find similar questions in the book for the worksheet we had to fill out

I believe she may have been the worst professor i have ever had. She does not care about your well being in the class. I would NOT recommend taking a class with her, unless u like a hard grader and a non helping teacher.

If you plan to take this class over the summer through the University of Arkansas, DO NOT. There is HW (anywhere from 10-25) problems due almost every day, and quizzes due every Sunday that you will fail unless you work out the problems EXACTLY as she wants it, regardless of whether you get the answer correct.... exact Same for exams. Beware of her

She is a very good lecturer but the stuff overall and the amount of stuff you learn is ALOT. She goes through it really quick and expects you to master ALL of it. She's one of those professors that will put the hardest question on her tests so beware.

The lectures given for this course are not even done by Dr. Satterfield as she pulls videos from various other teachers. Her grading is very harsh as well. She never answers your questions directly and will always just point you to another online video rather than actually teaching the students. I feel that a paid teacher should actually teach.

I do not understand how a professor who doesn't teach nor answer direct questions still has a job! You are expected to answer her way exactly. Correct answer? Doesn't matter. Math is everywhere and diverse; even the homework example and video lectures(that she doesn't teach) show different methods. Yet you have to magically know what she wants.

Math is supposed to be a diverse subject, if you get an answer while doing it differently then that's ok, however this professor clearly doesn't understand that. You are supposed to be doing work the way she wants it and will not care about your grade or even try to work with you. My suggestion is that if you like Math don't take her class.

It is difficult to take this class during COVID times, I always ask her questions, and she said that I must know the topic. Since she says that, I never ask questions because I do not feel confident. We did exams by gradescope and MML and it does not help, because for a few things she makes your score slower.

She doesn't care is you got the question correctly you have to do it her way for credit. She grades harshly. She makes the course difficult to navigate online. She doesn't keep grades updated on canvas so you don't really know what your grade is in the class. She's rude and condescending. 10/10 would not recommend taking a class with her.

Pamela Satterfield the worse, absolute worse instructor at NWACC. She lectures to the board, she belittles students who dare to ask questions, her tests are unnecessarily hard. She told us to stop coming to her office hours for help. It feels like she hates teaching & hates her students. There is no encouragement in her teaching, only criticisms.

The material is very easy. The tough part is living up to her grading standards. If you make a mistake and put a question on the wrong page expect to get a 0. Lazy teacher. Good teachers grade your ability to understand the material. Horrible teachers dont care if you understand just that you do what they say.

You would think the ability to teach would be a prerequisite for a teaching job, apparently not! She hates teaching and it shows! She gives very few opportunities for her students to succeed. She doesn't care if you understand, she is not willing to help, you get it from the lecture or not at all. If it wasn't for YouTube, I'd have flunked!

I read the reviews, since I am straight A's in math, I thought I could do well. If it wasn't for YouTube and on-line math tutoring classes, I would have not passed this class. Not because the material is difficult, but because she is such a poor teacher! She talks to the board and refuses to explain problems. Her tests are unreasonably hard. Run!

It's her tests that will get ya. They are unreasonably hard. Sometimes the questions don't even relate to the topics covered. I only received an A because I have a strong math background. When I pointed out that we had not covered the material on the test, she became rude and condescending. I honestly don't know how anyone passes her classes.

She is a nice teacher but is a harsh grader she does not offer extra credit so the class is all based on tests and the tests don't match the review and she makes you study over 40 questions for the final when the exam is 13 questions long. just make sure you know calculus before taking calculus

She gives an ungodly amount of homework and expects it done by the next class period. She is brutal on grading and something as simple as a missing parenthesis will cost you points. When I emailed her about having issues in the class she really seemed to be indifferent about the whole matter. I really would recommend you not to take her.

almost everyone in my class dropped it around midterms including myself. Does not care for right answer and can't follow your work so she will just doc points. hard grader on tests and her homework will only confuse you if you don't already know trig. she got angry at the class for asking too many questions and that it was rude that we did so.

Neve have I had a worse instructor. Doesn't teach the material, hates to be asked questions, tests are unbelievably hard, and the test questions are more complex than the homework or examples given in class. It feels like she hates teaching & hates her students. Take an instructor who wants you to succeed, not one who enjoys failing her students.

Algebra is a fairly easy concept, but after taking this class, I'm not even sure if I know Algebra. I've done very well on the homework and studied every day for about 2-3 hours just to receive very poor grades; Her grading is very harsh, and she does not consider the work that you show her at all. I really DO NOT recommend her class.

Videos in the beginning and the end of the semester were okay, but mid-course her videos are extremely laggy and cuts ahead to parts where you will feel lost. You will waste hours on lectures that do not cover all the material needed to finish the homework and will need MML lecture videos in addition to her videos some units. Don't sign up for her.

Terrible professor. She does not take the time to explain anything or answer questions. If you try to ask questions, she is very belittling. Test questions are 10 times more difficult than anything done for homework/quizes. She is very good at making people dislike math. Do not take if you want to keep your GPA.

She doesn't teach; she lectures. She doesn't answer questions, she belittles. She shows no love for her topic or concern for her students' success. I passed because I hired a tutor and watch hours of videos. They come no worse than her. I cannot even begin to describe how awful it is to be in her classroom. She makes you want to give up.

I'm currently taking her class, and it's rough. Her 'lectures' are recorded videos of her filling out the class notes (from the COVID era). The videos are just snippets from her previous Zoom classes, and they're not really teaching anything, at least not for me. She's a nice character and answers your questions, but not really good enough.

She didn't communicate very much with her students, and when she responded to my email, she was very short and rude. Not very willing to be flexible and help students.
