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.
She is very respectful and makes class fun. Gives plenty of opprotunities for extra credit. I would take her class again.
Gives out extra credit, and availability outside the classroom is decent from what I hear even though I didn't need to since the lectures were enough for me to understand the material well. I would highly recommend taking any math course with this professor. She also has a very approachable personality.
Mrs Herman is such a great teacher she is very respectful and understanding of diverse culture.
GREAT PROFESSOR!!! She is kind, wants you to succeed. Always available, answers any questions. If you want an A just get her class!
Made class and work so easy!
Ms. Herman is amazing! I love her!
Ms. Herman is very accessible through MOER or the Remind App and is very quick to answer questions. The amount of homework is appropriate for the course. She is very positive and motivating. I would highly recommend Ms. Herman, especially for those who struggle with math like I do.
Hands down the best math teacher I've ever had. She's a teacher who really cares about her students, and she will go above and beyond with helping/explaining homework. If you have the option, take her class!!!!!!
I loved this class! Herman is a great teacher and deserves so much more form the students and the school. She goes out of her way to be a part on campus and interact with her students outside of class. The class is easy and she helps you every step of the way if you need it! She is also a very understanding person :)
Excellent instructor! Easy to reach out to, able to explain matters in more understandable ways for those of us who are math .... stupid? Would 100% take another class she taught.
very sweet and caring!<3 When you need help she responds fast! When helping, she is very encouraging.:)
Such an outstanding teacher! She's quick to respond to any type of question we have. I would love to have her again if I could. Overall, super nice and helpful.
She is very courteous and helpful. Projects professionalism and is explicit when explaining a math problem. Responds to questions, comments, and concerns fast. Overall, I was completely satisfied with the style and flexibility of the class.
Ms. Herman is a very nice teacher to have. She is very understanding and very fair. Obviously, one must to the work to pass the class and earn a grade, she is not one of those teachers where if you don't do the work she'll offer a large, two week extension. She gets carried away with her life experiences and stories, makes her even more wholesome.
Ms. Herman is a caring and a understanding teacher. She always made sure that we understood what we were learning so that we can easily do the assignments without having to struggle a lot. Overall she is a outstanding teacher to have!
She will work with you and make sure you're ready to move onto the next material. She makes it fun and is a cool teacher to talk to. You still have to put in the work though, it's not just an easy A.
Professor Herman is the best professor because she always available to help us , repeat unclear questions for us again and again. Thank you professor Patricia Herman!!! Im more happy to be your student. I wish you all the best!!! May God bless you and your family!
My instructor was so good and she was helpful in every difficulties.
She is a great instructor. Facility at Phoenix College is the reason why I stayed and continued my education. One of the best and will never forget her. Thank you so much!!
She is excellent. Very helpful, encouraging, and accessible
I love ms. herman!! She is very caring & understanding and wants you to succeed
Ms. P was overall, one of my favorite instructors this semester, she was very polite and she wants her students to succeed.
I really really recommend professor Patricia. If you payed any bit of attention during high school the work should be a breeze and even if its not she's very helpful and so is her SSS. there is quite a bit of homework in my opinion, and attendance is mandatory. but there are ways to make up lost points. very nice and easy going :)
Ms. Herman is an amazing teacher who I would take again, she is respectful, kind and always looks for a way to help you if questions are asked. The class was live virtual.
Helped a lot and caring!
Amazing math teacher!
This course was a live virtual class, you'd think it'd be hard but Professor Herman is one of the most exceptional professors there is. Help was provided when needed always, and although we didn't get to really know each other well, Herman made sure to make everyone feel comfortable and knowledgeable.
Great teacher! Glad I had her!
Very helpful
Patsy is one of the best math professors at PC. Miss Patsy will take the time to meet with you and make sure you understand the concepts. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and makes it almost impossible to fail. As long as you show up and put in the work, you'll pass. She also messages regularly to make sure you're on track & to help.
If you plan on taking MAT 151, take Mrs. Patsy! There is a lot of homework on MOER platform, but if you run into any problems or questions she is willing to help you figure out the problem step-by-step. There is also plenty of extra credit.
The best math teacher I ever had. She will help you succeed!
She is my favorite professor I've ever had. An absolute gem of a person, she goes above and beyond to help you out. She uses the Remind app, I'd send her homework problems at 9 pm and she'd still answer you. Plus the weekends. She is basically 24/7 accessible. Amazing experience, wish I could have her as my only professor in college
Professor Herman is AMAZING. She really cares about her students and will do anything to help you. I am a student athlete, so it was really hard to stay on track and come to ever single class. Professor Herman has so much patience for her student athletes and gives opportunities to make up class time and late work for full credit!
I took professor Hermans online class for spring 2021 Tuesday and Thursdays. This was the one class I enjoyed all semester. If I could take her class again, I would. Many extra credit opportunities, if you finish your lecture videos and homework before Thursday then class attendance is optional. She consistently used remind for announcements.
She really took the time to reach out to me and was quick to respond when I had an issue. Math is not my best subject, but she made it a whole lot easier than I expected.
Professor Herman is hands down the best math professor! She goes out of her way for students to succeed. I reached out to her on a Saturday morning, got ack to me right away and helped me in the evening, who does that on a Saturday. You wont regret taking this class and learning from her and Karla her assistant. Thank you, Mrs. Herman and Karla
Ms. Herman is a great professor! The work is not too much but it is difficult at times. She really helps you out a lot with the assignments because you can get 100% all the time. Tutoring is also provided so you can really understand the information. I strongly recommend it!!
Ms Patsy Herman is an amazing teacher. Her work is super easy to understand and there are videos provided before you do the problems so you know how to solve them. Make sure to take notes on the problems you do because majority will show up later during tests.
Professor Herman is great!! She is helpful when students are having difficulty with problems and responds promptly. The student success specialist with our class, Karla is also a great help.
Patsy is a wonderful professor, she goes above and beyond for ALL her students. This class was great! I would highly recommend if you struggle with math. This class comes with a private tutor, which is amazing. There is lots of homework to do in this class but the homework is helpful come exam days. Do the work and you will pass easily.
This teacher is just so amazing! She helps you whenever you need the help and shes so understanding and lenient! Shes the absolute sweetest and always includes everyone! Youll love this class I promise!!!
Second time taking professor Herman for different classes and she's great. Class is like any other math course with lots of homework and some difficulty but she gives chances for extra credit and lots of tutoring time for those who need it.
Professor Herman is by far one of the most amazing teachers Ive ever had in my academic career. I would 100% take any classes that shed teach. As long as you do all of the work, take advantage of any extra credit opportunities, I dont see why you cant walk out with an A. She is always happy to help and wants you to ask questions.
This teacher was so great with making sure that you understood the content, it makes it easier to be inspired by the amount of effort that she puts in when it comes to caring about her students. She was really great and helped me understand concepts in a much more efficient ways( i would know because ive taken this class 2 times already)
She gives late passes if you need extra time and even opened up 2 assignments so I could re do. Extra credit is always available with optional assignments and meetings. It was nice to get the grades so quickly.
The Best Out.
She wants everyone to succeed and does well in helping out everyone she can. Will work with you if you need help. Lots of opportunities to make up tests and if you stay on top of everything, you have the potential to not have to take final. Great experience and great teacher, would highly recommend.
She is so amazing and will work with you to make sure you SUCCEED! Enjoyed this class a bunch and she is definitely my favorite professor by far!
I specifically went to Phoenix college so I could take this class with Professor Herman. She is an amazing professor!!! She makes it so easy to reach her outside of class, and she responds very quickly. She cares a lot about her students & she provides them with helpful notes and tips. Highly recommend her, especially if you struggle with math!!
Patsy goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and is easily approachable. You can tell that she really cares about her students success and provides ample resources as well as quick responses to questions!
I could write an essay on how amazing she is! My only regret is not finding Herman in the beginning of my college career. The way her whole class is set up is perfect! She truly cares and she understands that a lot of people in her class have jobs. She is super funny and if you have any questions, she tries to get back to you as quick as possible.
She is very nice to me, help me when I need it
This was one of the best math online courses that I have ever took, Patsy is very nice and a very good teacher she is very supportive, she's made me understand and love math, BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!
Nice teacher, homework is very easy, and post in class notes online. Very helpful
Excited for you
I took math several times before without making it past the midterm. I was able to not only pass my midterm but my final as well! Homework and tests were easy to navigate and understand.
Math is a very difficult subject for me, but Patsy was ready to help me every step of the way. The lessons were easy to follow, provided step by step directions, and the test questions came from the homework. When I needed help Patsy was available for personal tutoring, and I really enjoyed meeting with her. Wonderful class, I highly recommend.
Patsy Herman was an amazing instructor. She motivated you and was always available for any assistance needed. She is amazing!
She is very amazing and very very helpful!
One of the sweetest teachers! Super helpful when need and caring. She was always willing to go out of her way to help.
She is very organized and grades assignments fairly quickly. She makes everyone feel comfortable and welcomed in class. She is very good at encouraging everyone to participate and ask for help when needed. She is available outside of class most of the time and is easy to reach out to. The way she explains lessons is amazing and easy to understand.
MAT145 was the best math class that I have taken. Patsy Herman is an amazing professor and assists you with any problem that you may have. She gives students enough time to turn in work an uploads the class lecture notes so you can review them on your own if you need them.
The teacher had a great vibe and the work was not hard.
MAT145 was the best math class that I have taken. Patsy Herman is an amazing professor and assists you with any problem!! Patsy Herman gives students enough time to turn in work.
Patsy absolutely sets this class and its students up for success. If you bother to do the assignments and keep good notes you'll have no problem getting an A even if math isn't a strong subject for you. There are reasonable extra credit opportunities and Patsy is very accessible for any concerns or questions. A great option for math requirements!
She was very easy to reach with questions. The assignments were very clear, and it was easy to learn the material with the way it was set up, with video examples as well if we were ever stuck on a problem. She offered tutoring and gave opportunities for extra credit.
Patsy is by far one of the best professors I have had and math has never been my strong suite but she helped me believe in myself and I passed every test and ended with a grade I strived for. She deserves a raise! I love her! -Alicia
This professor will really help you understand the objectives even if you need some extra help. Is the best professor that I have had so far here at Phoenix College.
I want other students to know that professor Patsy Herman is an amazing teacher . Patsy was always willing to help anyone and gave great explanations when we had trouble in assignments. Patsy also made the lessons easy and fun to learn .
The best math teacher I ever had. The whole program is designed to help you succeed. The assignments have videos and written instructions, the tests there are 3 opportunities to improve your grade. I highly recommend Professer Patricia Herman. With her help after years of not understanding math I now do and passed the class with a B.
She was a great professor. She made learning math easier and less confusing. I wish she taught calculus
Professor Herman is a teacher who not only loves math, but also cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. She is constantly reminding her students where math is needed and applies math to real life problems. If you want to do well and understand math, Professor Herman is the right choice.
Hands down, best teacher I've ever had. Her class is easy because she explains difficult topics in ways that are easy to understand. She is so helpful and you can tell she really cares about her students and helping us learn. She provides example videos on her assignments so you never have search the internet if you get stuck.
She is a great teacher, terrific to work with, understanding, and very outreach to help any student who feels stuck and needs guidance, she is very fair to work with and always chooses to do the most to help out students. Always very clear on what can be done to help and improve students' grades.
She's really nice, available outside of class and sets up lectures in a way that makes sense even if you struggle with math. I am in her precalc class right now and it's going as good as MAT151 did!
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.
I took MAT 225 with her this semester 2023, she is very knowledgeable and easy to approach. Lectures are easy to understand, everything is through canvas. Did use matlab for final project which was neat. Workloads is manageable. No textbook needed although she has an online version.
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.
Patsy is probably one of the most knowledgeable people about the courses that she teaches. She also carries about her students deeply and want them to succeed. She is willing to hope her students, students have to be willing to ask for help. I would continue to take her class. And I only hope to greatest things for her.
Professor is very patient and always provides opportunities for students to get extra tutoring. Very supportive and kind.
Mrs. Herman is very kind and appreciates her hardworking students.
I have never had a more caring, amazing professor. I am a STEM major, and have taken many math classes, and she really CARES about you. 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!
nothing to say she is a good teachers
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.
She is amazing and very helpful, I feel like my math game has improved a lot and she has helped me every step of the way there. 11/10 would recommend 11/10 would take her class again
Professor Herman is amazing, does an incredible job at guiding her students to really understand each concept being taught. She is passionate about what she teaches and makes learning math even more fun than what it already is. Overall, I definitely recommend taking her for any of your math classes.
My all-time favorite professor!!! I have always struggled with mathematics, and I think Patsy is the first instructor who truly cared about my learning type and experience in her class. She was so encouraging, communicative, and very accessible outside of class. I would recommend her to ANYONE. If you have to take a math class, take Patsy!!!
The instructor is excellent. She creates her own videos, focusing on similar questions that appear on the midterm and final exams. These videos were extremely helpful and made the material easier to understand. I had no issues in her class, and the content provided was very helpful for exam preparation.
Professor Herman was so amazing. She is encouraging, easy to talk to and very transparent about the work. The class was structured well and easy to navigate. It was so nice to use the homework and testing program she uses for the entire class start to finish. She made it easy to learn. I would take all of her classes again!
Professor Patsy is incredibly supportive and explains concepts clearly. The class is manageable with unstuck ai's practice tools, and attending office hours is very helpful. Definitely take this course if you want a hands-on learning experience.
As someone who struggles with math, this class was pretty easy. The instructor is very caring and positive! There are videos to help walk you through the problems. Extra credit is offered throughout the course. 10/10 for an online math course.
Your passion for Math, dedication to your students is truly inspiring. Thank you for being an extraordinary teacher and mentor. I feel incredibly fortunate to have learned from you, but you taught me how to fly, as I prepare my wings to fly. Even understood this class from being out of school for over 25 years. Great Teacher!
I had a great experience with Professor Herman. She cooperated and supported me throughout the course. I recommend this class if you have a tight schedule because she does provide with late passes for the assignments (which has helped me out a lot!). I had a great time in her class :)
Had lots of fun with her when I had her both of my semesters. She teaches well by providing us with good lecture notes. This is such a great class if you have a hectic schedule, since she does offer late passes for the assignments! If I could, I would have wanted her for the rest of my math classes.
She is the most friendly and welcoming person. She really goes above and beyond to see her students succeed. If you have the opportunity definitely take her class, it's a fun community and she is always very clear in her expectations.
You have to make sure you're doing the lectures before you come to class. If for whatever reason you didn't, she'll go over the lectures herself, make sure you're engaged and understand then you go over the HW in groups. Shes joyous, respectful and very encouraging; you can tell she wants you to succeed and gives good resources to make sure you do
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!
Take her classes and you will never regret that
Professor Herman is a great teacher who explains concepts clearly and keeps the class engaged. She encourages group work, which really helps with understanding the material and learning from classmates.
I've had Mrs. Herman since Pre-Calc. She's incredibly patient and caring, which made me feel comfortable in class. Her objective-based grading reduces stress and helps you focus on learning, not memorizing. She's fair on tests and gives chances to correct work. I wish she taught Calc 3!
A couple reasons as to why give ms a Herman 5.0 rating would be solely based off the fact that she is truly caring and comforting. I say this because I could genuinely feel as tho she wanted every student to pass and made sure every student knew what she was teaching. She mad every lecture fun and engaging!
class is easy if you pay attention and if you are given late passes so you can have a bit of extra time to work on things. given enough time for lessons and homework.
Very lovely lady that structures the class in a way that you can't fail IF you show up to class AND do the work. In fact, if you do both these things you should guarantee an A. She's a professor that cares about her students. Watching her lose faith in humanity when bad students can't answer basic non-math thinking questions is hilarious.
Probably my favorite professor at Phoenix College. I feel like it's impossible for you to fail this class because she is always willing to help you. She is very clear with her lectures and gives you time to complete the homework in class. She is a very sweet lady. Would definitely recommend this class
I absolutely love this professor, she's so sweet and understanding and is very willing to help and work with you. She's really helped me be successful in my first year of college.
She is very understanding and always available, super sweet!
Patsy is great, The class definitely requires preparation and work but if you're putting in an effort Patsy is always there to help you along. She is very approachable and clearly enjoys both mathematics and teaching. She is a professor worth going out of your way to get.
I really liked how she organized this call because it was not difficult to navigate around. Her links took you to exactly where you needed to be and it was easy to manage this.
Mrs. Herman is a wonderful teacher. We watch lectures online and she fully explains them in class. We get a lot of time to work on homework in class, we go over them on the boards. Her and the SSS are very helpful in the class and our very encouraging to help you push to where you need to be. She keeps you accountable with your grade and is fair.
Her overall ratings speak for themselves. This professor is so amazing, and you can tell she loves what she does. If you have the opportunity to have her as a professor, take it! She will make it so worth it and work to make sure you do the best you can.
Mrs. Herman was great! One thing I particularly loved was how communicative she was. I felt like I had some obvious or annoying questions in the beginning of the course, but she was very kind and welcoming in her responses. She had great feedback and all the content she gave was perfect for an online course.
As a person whose weakness is linear algebra, everything was structured in a way where I could understand how things worked and what to do.
My math instructor is amazing. Even when I was struggling, she was genuinely caring and took the time to help me understand the material. She offers extra credit to help students throughout the semester. Her feedback is helpful for success. Patsy is approachable.
The instructor explains things clearly and gives good examples. Homework helps practice the material. Overall, the class is engaging and easy to follow.
Mrs. Herman is a great teacher. Her and the SS help you push to your gradest abilities. Gives you as many points possible, be sure to get your engagement points done.
If you struggle in math, take her as a professor. She is a great professor. At first the lessons were difficult to understand but once you understand her grading criteria and when assignments are due, her class becomes a breeze. She has a lovely personality that really comes through in her lessons and even when she is just talking to you
She was an aswome teacher>
She truly wants everyone to succeed in her class! She's very good at explaining hard concepts and she keeps tests short and simple.
This is the best math teacher I've ever had. Mrs. Herman is so nice and caring when she teaches or helps me understand the material. I would have her for every subject if I could.
She actually cares about your grade and that you do well in her class. She is super easy to talk to, and explains things very well and in depth.
she was soo helpful.
Although her teaching style was not for me, she does help her students a lot and give them access to lots of opportunities to reach their potential.
I really enjoyed taking her math class. She gives helpful feedback and is always kind and supportive. Her lessons are clear, and the videos help a lot when I need extra help. She makes math easier to understand and less stressful overall.
Professor was amazing and always helpful when I needed her help, always made sure we knew about resources for studying and for pre quiz/exam studying as well
