Usually, students will follow a professor lecture and no tfully comprehend it until that "a-ha" moment. With Prof. Granillo, there is no "a-ha" moment becuase you understand every step that she is explaining. I loved her teaching so much that I took all the other classees she taught for kicks!

I've taken two classes with her already and although she may be all over the place at times, the class is fairly easy. Just show that you put in effort into all that's assigned and keep yourself organized. She lets you re-do assignments for more points. It's honestly hard to pass the class with anything lower than a B.

This is honestly the worst teacher anyone could possibly have. She makes lessons more complicated than they have to be and tells you to "read the syllabus" when she doesn't even follow it. If you want to actually learn/get an A, avoid her at all costs! I'd rather slam my foot at the edge of my bed than take her class again.

Paula is a sweet woman, but a horrible professor. She does allow group tests some times and does allow you to do test corrections where you will receive half of the points you missed back. She also allows late work all year. However, she teaches methods incorrectly sometimes and won't own up to mistakes. If you don't have to take her, DON'T!!!!

Granillo doesn't teach in the normal lecture fashion. Mostly she expects you to do HW, and ask for help if you need it. However, she does give detailed reviews and is extremely helpful. She allows you to do test corrections for half credit. She accepts late work and is extremely flexible. Kind woman, and a great teacher, I would recommend!

Lectures: Based on textbook. Midterms: Based practice exams she gives. Gave pop quizzes but, they were just one or two problems. Final: based off practice exam. u can get C's on midterms and get above C on hw and pass with a B or A. Can come off as chill or have slight attitude. Beware: She doesn't post grades until the final grade.

Very sweet lady, also very knowledgeable when it comes to math. She doesn't give you an average lecture, she kind of just introduces topics and works through problems related to the topic. Homework is due the day of the test, and it can build up quickly if you put it off. A bulk of the points are in the projects and exams so it helps to do well.

Shes an old school type of teacher. We had lots of worksheets to do. We used a binder to organize vocab, activities, hmk, Projects, etc and those count as a lot of points. There were about 4 exams that werent too bad. She lets you do test corrections which is great. Shes a nice teacher, not a tough grader. If you do that then youll get an A/B.

WORST CLASS AND PROF. I took her for 8am and takes attendance. She is so strict on her vocabulary and needs it exactly her way or the highway. She allows test corrections, but is harsh on that. If it's not how she wants it, no points. Insanely disorganized and unclear. Stickler on the smallest things and doesn't post grades. worst class.

Professor Granillo is the best math teacher I have taken by far in any math course. Her class is 3 exams, in which she uses different way to grade your understanding. In my class we did individual and groups exam. As well as creating a vocabulary list is a big part of your grade. But it is easy to do. Her style of teaching is different and helpful.

Professor Granillo was absolutely understandable and caring due to the drastic change to remote learning. She honestly cares for her students. If you do all your work and study for the exams, you'll definitely pass the class. She cares for students and gives lots of feedback. She gives you ideas of what things you can do with your students.

She is a caring professor, but is very disorganized. She allows all homework to be turned in at the end of the semester, which is very nice of her. However, her lectures are confusing and does not give out many instructions for her assignments. I am glad that the material we are covering is not difficult or else I would be struggling.

She does not give lectures, does not record zooms, and basically doesn't teach. She does not respond to emails so don't try to contact her. She gives students attitude when they ask questions. You basically have to read the entire text book and learn the material that way because miss girl is no help.

She is very rude; I would ask a question and she would answer in a condescending tone. She is also very dull. Its a very easy class though; she does notes in class, sometimes discussion posts, and gives reviews for quizzes and exams which is just like the actual exams. She accepts late work and redo of exams. Just do your web-assign hw.

Nice professor. However, my advice is to to complete your work and to not miss class. If you fall behind, the work will definitely pile up. She accepts late work until the day of the final for credit. She can be a tough grader if you do not do assignments the way she wants them. Attendance is mandatory and a huge part of your grade!

She is not so good with technology and the whole class is online material. Very chill but maybe way too chill. Very slow teaching and the material in class does not match up with the homework you have to do at home most of the time. Get ready to teach yourself.

Literally the most boring professor I've had so far. You'd think that if a professor is going to teach an 8 am class they would at least attempt to make it somewhat interesting. She also has a bit of a snarky attitude when responding to questions as if it isn't her job to help students learn and she doesn't even answer the questions clearly.

This class is a joke. This class is more about re learning the subject matter so that you can teach geometry when you do become a teacher. The problem with this class is that she talks to you like you're 9 years old again. When the majority of class is skipping or leaving after 30 minutes thats bad. Takes phone calls during class btw STAY AWAY!!!!!
