If you needed any help during a lecture, you could ask and she would clarify. Always sent emails if she felt you were a little behind with the ALEKS topics. A lot of work but gave plenty of resources to make sure you understand the material. Not that hard of a professor. Honorlock on every chapter quiz, the midterm, and the final.

She's one of the best professors I've ever had! She took time during her lectures to make sure you understand every part, lecture usually finished in 20-40 minutes and she gives you time once the lecture is over to do homework. If there are any misunderstandings she is happy to help. You can tell she really does care and wants the best for you.

Professor Ralph is a great math professor. She explains things very well and is very adaptable to everyone's learning speeds, so she will slow down if the majority is struggling, or offer a zoom session is just a few people are struggling. She explains concepts very well. Participating in the lectures will really help you to learn in her class.

Professor Ralph is a very good professor. Her teaching style makes math easy to learn. I'm not the best with math but she made it easy. She's willing to spend time with you one-on-one if you need any additional help or have questions. Class assignments were very manageable and final exam was easy.

Professor was clear on day 1 that she did not wish to be there. Claimed "taking a math course over the summer is dumb." She did have clear grading expectations and provided lectures weekly covering the course work. Aleks program is used, which is fairly easy. Do your work and you will pass!! Would take again if she wasn't so rude.

This is my first math course with a professor, and I would retake her class. Although she doesn't accept late work, you have two weeks per module, of which there are 8. The midterm exam is worth 20% of your final grade, and the final exam is worth 25%. The calculator restrictions are strict, but this is a developmental math course.

High requirements on homework grading in order to move onto important quizzes in the course. Refuses to actually help. She prefers you to discuss with students for help. I did not pay for students to teach me. She is rude and zero compassion for anything. Extreme amounts of homework. I would not recommend taking her classes.

Assigns 3-4 hours of math videos per the 5-day week, then expected to complete 3-5 chapters with no help. The work load is incredible and it is absolutely not worth the stress. If you don't already know the math, your expected to fill your schedule with hours and hours of videos and figure it out. Forced to tutor every test you don't pass.

Professor Ralph is knowledgeable, but her grading feels very strict and inflexible. I had issues with the lockdown browser and wasn't given a chance to retake the test. The study guide didn't match the actual exam, and despite studying for two weeks, I still struggled. I ended up dropping the class to protect my GPA.

I messaged Prof Ralph sometimes multiple times a day when working through this class, if it was during 'office hours' I always got a clear and very thorough response (sometimes she even did a video walkthrough on the problem) within the hour. If I sent messages in the evening or on weekends, I still got a response within the day.

If you have light classes and little outside school, I think you'll do okay. But if you're like me and work 40 some hours a week and have events outside school, I'd look elsewhere. Attendance matters and you must achieve certain grades a week to stay in the class, which is noted in the syllabus. I was dropped 10 weeks, unaware it was coming.
