Mrs. Herman is probably the best math teacher I have ever had. Math has always been my weakest point, I never liked it. Teachers in the past would just make me dislike it even more. Mrs. Herman is patient, very well spoken, and very professional. I would take a class with her every semester if it were available. We need more teachers like her.

Mrs. Herman is definitely one of my favorite teachers. During class, she's always very outgoing and encourages talking to each other to help solve different problems. She responds to messages as quickly as possible and is open to meeting online and in person to help with anything you might be falling behind on or questioning.

Professor Herman is amazing! I have not taken a math class in a very long time, yet she was able to transfer the knowledge from our online text book into my head. She is always willing to help and is easily accessible outside of class. She helps to ensure you have the resources needed to be successful. She also gives excellent feedback.

She wants to see you succeed and is willing to do whatever it takes to help you get there. I can't recommend her enough. Took her for Pre-Cal, and am already enrolled to take her for Calculus. She is also funny :)

Prof. Herman is incredible, she's so accessible and always more than willing to help and explain. Even though I had her for an online MAT225 (linear algebra) I felt like I got to work with her a lot. You can clearly tell that she cares about her students. If you put in the work, it is impossible to not understand her class. I would take her again!

It was not only understandable but fun because of Dr Herman. She is beyond patient and caring, and it sincerely made a world of difference in my comfort in the class. The class is objective-based (80% and above means 100 mastery), and the purpose (or at least my takeaway) is to reduce the stress of the course and actually learn instead of memorize.

I was scared when I saw that the exams were 70% of the grade, but the objective-based testing made it manageable. You get multiple tries to master each concept, and the exam reviews are spot-on. With repetition and trust in the process, I passed with 100%. The professor is amazing—a true hidden gem on campus!
