I'm not sure what everyone else's problem was with Paula. She is the most organized math teacher I have ever known. She always knows exactly what to cover, and she is methodical in her teaching method. She has been teaching for years in high school. Don't expect any useful exam prep. You better know how to study on your own, or you won't make it.

If you don't like math a lot, I would recommend for you to take this teacher. She skips all of the sections that you don't need to learn. If you have taken math 71 recently and then take her class, you will have an easy time. Requires a bit of studying but that's any math class.

she's helpful and she hard but not that hard if you study and do the work and of course show up to class you'll be ok

Im not sure why everyone doesnt like Paula. I thought she did a really good job at teaching the material and she was helpful. granted you had to go to her office hours in order for her to help. but she always helped us with questions during class as well. i think she is a good teacher. and i would recommend her:]

I've been in her class for a couple of weeks now and so far she is my favorite math teacher i have had in awhile. She goes at a good pace, explains EVERYTHING, and see super understanding. I like her a lot and hope to have her again in the future!

I war really just reviewing the stuff in this class. No textbook required. H.W. gets done online through coursecompass website. Quizzes have like 5 questions and she lets you do the practice exam online with some points of extra credit towards the actual exam if you get above 80% on the practice. Powerpoint lectures are online too. She's helpful.

Paula Young ROCKS!!! We?re at the end of the semester and after struggleling with math in the past I now love it, regained confidence to go on to higher levels of math, and actually really enjoyed it. She is firm but flexible when necessary. She?s extremely patient with some students but without forgetting the class curriculum.

She is very clear and helpfull. She explains everything so it is easy to understand. HW is online.

This class wasn't the most interesting class but she is a very good teacher. The course work is done through coursecompass.com. She goes through things at a steady pace, and this is the best grade I've EVER received in any math class. I would take her again, and I recommend her to anyone.

One of the best math teachers at Mt. Sac. Very helpful and can break down very complicated topics so they are easy to understand. If you pay attention, take good notes, and study, you will do great. There needs to be more math teachers like Prof. Young at Mt. Sac.

I am currently in Professor Young's class. Half way through the class and I am very happy with her. She explains things very well and she is very patient. The only thing I don't like is doing homework online. Other than that, it's a great class. If she teaches 71 in the spring, I'm taking her again.

Professor Young is wonderful. She is very thorough and explains well. She is always available for help during her office hours and is super friendly. There is a lot of work, but homework is turned in just once a week (online). Would have preferred a book, but I would still definitely take her again for future classes.

She is one of the best teachers I have had!

She was a really good teacher. I suck at math and i got an A in her class. Homework and practice tests are online so no text book needed.

She knows exactly what to cover and it's extremly important to make use of her notes cause it covers all the questions in the exams and quizzes. She explains things well. And she is kind. If you do the things she requires, you can get a good grade.

If you're looking at her previous bad reviews in 180, ignore them. It was long time ago. She is nice and willing to help her students. The class wasn't hard despite the fact that she takes off points for missing details in exams and quizzes. She tried using online textbook & HW in my class, and it was not bad. Study hard, an A isn't impossible

I just love Paula, and she is so nice to students. I know at least 10 students got an A in our 180 class. If you want to learn; choose her.

If you really want to learn math, i prefer Prof. Paula Young. She knows what her student should know about math 180. She prepares her student for Math 181. At begging you might think you have taken wrong prof. but believe me, its worth taking her.

Paula is one of the most kind and sweetest professor you'll ever have. She explains everything so clear, she is very organized, and she prepares you extremely well for the next course. She is always willing to answer questions and help. Such a great professor.

At first, I was annoyed how picky Prof Young was when she graded, however, as result of it, she made me a more focus and conscious math problem solver. This prepares you for 181. Grading policy is fair and notes are taken on pencast-great tool! Prof Young is extremely helpful and has a great personality who cares. I got a an A! Recommend!

I was terrified for stats but Paula was awesome! Calculator for everything & rarely makes you remember formulas. Always willing to help & very understanding! Not an easy class by any means! keep up with the hw, do the extra credit & go to office hours & you will do fine! She really does everything she can to help her students pass!

Its been years since I've taken math and a lot longer since I've been good at it, but Prof. Young changed all that. Took her for the first class in the Statway courses and she made it so simple to understand in a way no one ever could for me before. I was terrified to take math but now I'm starting the second half of Statway extremely confident.

math isnt my strongest subject but she made class simple and clear. you never have to take notes because she hands out packets, which you fill in. Gives clear examples of what she wants & if you do it you get full points. (shocker there) She assigns homework every class so just make sure you do it & study hard for the tests and you'll be good!

I took Professor Young's Intermediate Algebra Math-71 and in my opinion she has been the best math teacher I have had so far in math. I really learned a lot in her class. She is patient, friendly, and helpful. (I suck in math)

She's great with the time allowed but if you want an A I'd recommend getting a tutor. Commit to devoting time to practicing lots of problems from the book. Wonderful professor but you need to do a lot of outside work simply because the material is difficult.

Pay attention in class, do all the homework (book assignments and online assignments), and do the study guides and you should be fine. Naturally the class isn't going to be easy so you have to make an effort, but otherwise I liked her style of teaching. She taught you everything you needed to know for the tests.

Many people complain about her 181 class, but I think her teaching is fairly decent. The course material hard, so study instead of blaming the teacher.

Professor Young was very clear in explaining the material. Expect to do online and textbook homework, which are both very helpful. Study material and exam will be an easy A

Awesome teacher! Everyone told me stats was hard(pshh). Professor Young makes it incredibly easy! Hands out notes for every lecture and study guides that resemble the exams EXACTLY (So DO THEM!!). She'll replace your lowest exam grade with the final exam grade if you do better on the final. EASY class, just don't be lazy! Study...

dude she's hip

Hard, but 181 is hard under anybody. She gives you notes to fill out as you go, awesome! However, she is really strict on grading, not as much partial credit as some other professors, and her tests are HARD! Usually tests are as hard or harder than difficult homework problems. Gives a good amount of EC but its a lot of work. Would take again.

Always nice and seems to care about the students.

Young is a Calc nerd, and has a good sense of humor. I enjoy her morning ritual of asking students about their weekend or upcoming plans. As for teaching, she teaches from an iPad and prints notes for all her students. She cares about her students success, but dont expect to get an easy A because she's a strict grader.

you will not leave that class with ought the lesson fully explained. don't be afraid of asking as many questions as you want.

People might think Professor Young is a tough professor for 181 but the class is just hard in nature and you will have to struggle if you want to succeed in this class. I have taken other math and plenty of physics courses and whenever it came down to material from 181 I was never hesitant on my answers. 10 out 10 would take again.

Paula was a great professor, Even though I got a D she is well worth taking. I should have clearly put more time into studying but she gives you all the necessary tools needed and much more. Take her, shes corny but cute.

i loved her class , didnt missed a class but if you need to leave early let her know she will give you notes by email or any take home quiz or let you know the homework. she explains step by step and ask for an questions before moving on. I would totally take her class agian. i was hoping to take her class for a higher math.

I honestly don't know what the person below me is saying. Yes, her class is tough because the material is tough. There will be A LOT DROPPING as well. However, make use of her office hours! She really tries to help if you don't understand something. Besides, she is a generous grader who tries to give as mant pts possible. She deserves better rating

Extremely fair grader but no EC. Lectures will sometimes be a bit rushed but professor will answer any questions. Exams are harder than the homework so they require you to dedicate a lot of time to practicing extra assigned work and maybe even watching online videos. Take advantage of the tutoring resources and you can easily succeed in this class.

Professor young is fantastic, in terms of lecturing and providing a solid understanding of the material. My biggest criticism is that the exams can feel disproportionately difficult in comparison the homework and quizzes-but not TOO much. Also, lectures can be rushed some times. Hard class in its nature - not fair to blame her for that.

I loved professor Young. She's very organized, structured, and to the point. She explains everything step by step and is very clear. There's a lot of homework, but it really helps to practice and retain what she covers in lecture. I wish she was teaching 71 to take her again.

She's a solid choice for a teacher. She is slow, despite being a support class, but she likes to be sure that you understand. She gives thick packets for homework and she gives fill in notes. She's very nice as long as you communicate with her. Don't be scared to ask questions!

The lecture is easy but homework, quiz, exam are hard. You need to do lots of extra works. Read the book. It will help.

Professor young is a nice lady who cares about her students. She assigns a lot of homework and videos every week(4 hours a week of videos). Tests are every week and must know material to pass. Will spent lots of time doing homework and studying if you want to pass.

I have failed stats 3x until now, she is heavy on Hw but its because she wants you to really learn the concepts and thats great for someone who isnt good at math. She is very encouraging, incredibly kind and really cares about her students. I would take her again in a heart beat. If you struggle with math take her class and dont give up.

i would say that if you genuinely wanna pick up the concepts fast, and if you have PLENTY of time, then go ahead and take it. but with my personal experience, i felt that i barley had time to breath. if you dont have time to watch multiple 30 min-1hr long vids every week, hella worksheets, and tests every week, then dont bother

Prof. Young really cares about her students. She wants you to learn the math and will try to help you pass. Make sure you really have a good 180 prof because you need it all memorized to pass in 181. She gives the full answers to homeworks that you have to check so you can learn from it. Study early for exams and watch all videos.

I enjoyed taking statistics with Professor Young. She gives students notecards for every test to help which was great. The only downside of this class is the note-taking and homework. She gives you packets with many pages, and keeping up is a bit hard. Other than that, I'd strongly recommend taking her class!

If you struggle in math I would highly recommend taking her. She breaks down the concepts very well and focuses on working on problems in class. Grades very quickly so you get feedback. Is very open to questions and helping you work through problems. Uses a packet system so no textbook required.

She really cares and wants you to succeed. She does expect you do the work but she is willing to explain and help but you have to help yourself and do the videos and assignments. Stay on top of things from the start and you will be fine.

Prof. Young was a great instructor for stats- more so if you are willing to focus, question, and work with your group. The subject is challenging, as there are many topics to cover but Prof. Young is more than willing to elaborate, re-do questions, etc. There's many take-home assignments, so ensure that you can allocate time. But it is WORTH IT.

So I am a student from grade c up to grade A at the end of semester. Mrs. Paola is a very great professor, even you mess up one of the unit test, you have a chance to re-take one unit test before the final, homework are not hard, have extra credit, give you the a lot of opportunity to improve your grades.

Professor Young creates a lot of work, but if you stay on top of the videos and assignments, you can succeed. The grading is picky, but using tools like Unstuckstudy alongside the class resources can help. Overall, the class is challenging but manageable with diligence.

Paula is a good professor who knows what she's teaching, her lecture makes you understand material pretty well and also gives lots of help in class. If you're good at math or took ap calc before i recommend. However there's daily quiz every class, and exam is way too difficult to the point that scoring B makes you like top 5 in the class.

Honestly I was so hesitant on taking this class. Prof. Young was a great professor she basically hands you everything you need on a silver platter. All the notes you need to take she gives it to you, even extra credit to go towards you final exam. Yes, there is a lot of homework, but only way to fail is not paying attention and not doing the work.

Calc181 is a tough class, no matter the prof. She expects you to rlly understand the material, not just memorize how to do it. Is a tough grader, passing is achievable, an A is tough. flipped classroom. doesnt lecture but explains things rlly well if asked privately. Hmwk load isnt that bad, half of semester was literally like 6 problems a week.

Really caring and helpful when assistance is needed. Always has her office hours open, and she is very welcoming. There are daily quizzes that provide the foundation for each lecture, so it can be easy if you put in the effort Lots of workload if you desire extra credit. While the quizzes don't match the exam level, it's fine if you know the basics
