WARNING! This class was very hard. Every test that was given the choices was sooo similar, I would second guess myself. Not once did I pass any of the test with an A but out of the 16 quizes that I took, I received 100% on 13 of them. You would think that I knew my stuff.... I guess not.
If you are good in math and study very hard, then online college algebra won't be that bad.
Wonderful Instructor - Makes math easier to understand :)
I took the online Pre Al class and I passed everything with an A ive acually never even had to email the teacher, the online lesson is hard to learn but with a lil help from google to simplify equations it was a breez
Awesome teacher!!
Great teaching style.
Gives partial credit and is always available to help out.
Fun with functions is all I have to say! ;-)
Great professor.
She gives five extra credit points towards your test if you do your homework. I failed college algebra the first time I took it. Now I have a 97%. the class is SUPER easy as long as you go and do 1/2 the homework. shes really nice and care a lot.
Explains well. Tests are from the notes. Nice too.
Teaches well and understanding too.
Yea she's pretty but is so down to earth. nice to be taught math and have something nice to look at too.
good instructor. definately worth taking
This professor was awesome. I mixed up the dates for the last quiz and he understood and let me turn it in late. she is very understanding and willing to help. I hate math, but managed a B+ in her class.
Loved the teacher. Her class is fun and interesting. I have never gotten higher then a C in class before, until I took her class. I get A's now and it is all thanks to her. Love you Ms. M
Awesome!
If you want a good teacher...she is the one to take! She puts things together in a way I can remember. I wish she did not to teach so much in one class.
so caring and such great energy.
great teacher....great shoes!
I liked her. Actually understood the math.
Decent instructor. Explained well. Tests come from her notes so dont miss class.
She makes class fun. she teaches well but with a kind of witty sense of humor.
Enthusiastic about the subject. Go to class & take good notes and you'll do fine.
Ms. M is an incredible teacher!! SHe teaches right from her notes...the test actually are just like her notes. Very down to earth. Test are pretty easy too. She has very cute purses and shoes!!
Very nice, helpful, sincere.answers all questions.
The course is a simple online interface.My only concern is this course is entirely online and very much time consuming. Some of the course work that I did not learn or review in Intermediate Algebra, caused me to spend well over the 9 hours that requires me to complete these assignments. Other that that Instructor Mazarakis is "peachy!"
I wish she taught every math course I have to take. She is real good with explaining concepts other math instructors just assume you know or just dont know how to explain on a laymans level.
Excellent professor. Her notes and homework she assigns prepares anyone for success on chapter tests and final exams. Would recommend her to anyone. I never did well in math in high school and after taking this class and ending up with a 96% I have a lot more confidence in my ability to succeed in math.
Mrs. Mazarakis is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. She explains everything in depth and then moves on. She is very efficient with her time. The tests are easier than the homework, so as long as you do your homework.....there is no reason you shouldn't pass.
Good strong instructor. Gives ways to remember math tips. ;-)
great if you hate math. so helpful and fun, took college alg with her after getting an F with another prof. SHE IS GREAT AND STRAIGHT FORWARD.
I really like her...she explains well and is always wearing a smile! ;-) You go Ms. Maz!
good and personable.
She is a great teacher! Explains everything, always answers questions, gives good shortcuts to learn and make work easier. I also had her for MAT1033. I loved her class so much, I had her again for MAC1105. I would recommend her to everyone, especially if you struggle in math!
I would recommend Ms Maz. She is always smiling and makes you actually like math.
Take her! you could go through the class without opening the book and just studying her examples. Although I would recommend doing the homework to get an A ;_0
Great professor! She takes time to make sure you fully understand all of the concepts presented in the class. Mrs. Mazarakis also gives 5 points extra credit on each test for homework which can definitely help anyone on a borderline grade.
MAZ IS TH BEST
Great prof. She explains everything crystal clear and will stay after class to answer any questions you may have. She's very funny and enthusiastic about the subject and her class has been a lot of fun thus far. I scored A's on my first two tests and have basically guaranteed myself AT LEAST a B at this point.. But hopefully I'll get an A! A+ prof!
This is my 2nd time taking college alg and I wish I took her the 1st time. She really likes math and is a good instructor but to get an A I had to do my homework ;-)!
Great teacher. Multiple choice test. 5 points extra on test if you do your homework. Good final review.
This is one of the best professors I have ever taken, for a subject that I once failed several years ago! I was so impressed with her teaching style/enthusiasm/and willingness to help students. She WANTS you to do well. IF you do not like math, you NEED to take her.
good teacher def take her
AMAZING TEACHER! She makes sure you understand everything, and teaches you tricks and shortcuts to make it easier. She always has a smile on her face, and she LOVES math, which rubs off on you, even if you hate it (like i did).. I definitely reccomend taking her for any class! Her tests aren't easy, but if you do the hw and study, you'll get it!
Explains well and sincerely wants you to learn. Wish she taught more courses.
Excellent teacher in many ways. She teaches very clearly, and is willing to help you with any question you have in a nice manner. Tests are actually quite easy if you study, but watch out for the final. I had an 86 and got a D on the final and brought my final grade to a 78.8 C :[
If you do the homework, which she gives 5 extra credit points for per chapter (5 chapters, 25 points) which get put toward your test. Plus she drops your lowest test score. 5 tests and the final. She gives you way more then enough time to complete the homework. I would definitely take her for any math class!
One of the best teachers I have ever learned from. You can't say that about every teacher you have, only the special ones, and she is definitely one of the greats in my book. I was expecting to not do good in this class since I suck at Math. I got an easy A. She makes it fun, and if you sit in the front, pay attention, do your homework, its easy A.
Ms. Mazarakis is the best math teacher Ive ever had, period. I really struggle with the subject, but she is so enthusiastic about it that it rubs off on you. She does lots of examples and if you do the homework she gives you 5 extra credit points on your test. She is great!!!!
Mrs. Mazarakis is great! She is funny and to the point. Don't miss a class your will be lost! If you follow her notes in class and do the homework then you will be fine!
Simply the best Professor EVER!!! Very funny and makes Math interesting. Do NOT miss a class as she teaches from notes and you will see them again on tests. Lets you use a sheet with notes and formulas on quizzes and tests. Highly recommended!!!
She is an excellent teacher, very helpful.
She makes her classes soooooooo easy. Honestly I finished stats with a 99%. What I didn't like was that she seemed to repeat herself and gives away answers to the test- she acts like everyone is so dumb. She also doesn't write her own test, which makes things very confusing when you go to take the test. Overall, easy but kind of annoying
Didn't need to interact with her much. Very fair in grading, quick to respond when you did have questions.
Very quick to respond, very helpful and understanding. I would pick her again if needed.
Math comes very easy to me. I took the class at 8:00. As long as you do the work online she counts you for being present. cant tell you much about her cause i was never there but from what i hear she is very good and very helpful.
I love her!!!! awesome teacher..wish she taught other subjects
Awesome teacher, math is not my strong subject but by far the best I've done in math since I started college. Good amount of work but if you stay on it you will get an A!
Great professor. She is very helpul and nice. The only thing i did not like is her class made me feel like I was back in high school. She has pop quizzes which helps grade and grades the homework assignments.
This lady seemed to be a good professor, just wish she would have given me more slack since I was just transferring from a whole different program from another school to PLATO, so I failed the class, but she seems like she would be there for her students.
I needed trig for physics and never thought I would pass but not only did I pass I understood the material! You have to come to class and take good notes! But she is real good.
PLATO & HER TEST QUESTIONS SOMETIMES DO NOT MATCH UP WITH WHAT PLATOS SAY. OTHER THEN THAT VERY EASY CLASS. JUST REMEMBER FINAL IS 40% OF THE GRADE, SO YOU COULD BE DOING GOOD ALL SEMSTER THEN DROP A LETTER GRADE BECAUSE OF THE FINAL
She's really sweet & will help you whenever you need it. She doesn't do the standard lectures, everything is on mymathlab. Every test is parallel to reviews and she'll help you on tests and anytime on the weekend, Just email her. She is quick to respond to the emails as well. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!
Maz is amazing. She loves trig so much. I hated it before I took her class. She is soo worth it
This teacher is amazing!!! Sweetest lady ever. She makes trig so much fun. You come to class, take notes, study your notes, and do the hw and you will get an A. She grades tests and quizes super quick (within an hour or two). The only issue is that she writes fairly quick and moves fast, so sometimes it's hard to write the notes down.
INCREDIBLE. I HATED, absolutely ABHORRED math classes until I took this great teacher. Very passionate in teaching, quirky and kind! Go to class everyday, study the notes she goes over in class because they are usually the same questions on quiz/test. She's always there to help too!! Easy!Taking her again this summer!
This class was difficult for me. The teacher did not require much from you which made it easier. I really had no contact with the teacher what so ever, but I'm sure they would have been helpful if I needed it. I recommend using this professor.
NEVER SKIP A CLASS. She does not give out any notes, so unless you have a good friend who is taking that class with you who writes GOOD notes, you better be in class. Overall good teacher, good course. She drops the lowest test score and replaces it with your final exam grade. (: Passed with a 98 A. But I like math. You have to STUDY!
Took her Spring Semester and did well. She made the hard stuff easy. I would take her again. Study from the notes- anyone who fails her class doesnt study.
Everything is on MyMathLab, but her instructions are clear, and her tests and quizzes mirror the reviews, no surprise or tricky questions. Gives ample options to help learn material
Best math professor ever ! She is one of the two best math professors I have ever dealt with. I took her early in the morning and she really did try to get us into the mood and wake up, even if her personal life was filled with stress she set that all aside. Her class is super easy and straight forward, I giggled here and there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!
She is very helpful, but you can rely solely on just mymathlab to pass
Great professor! Not very good at math but passed her class with an easy A. Just make sure you keep up with the homework and take advantage of the multiple tries on quizzes. The reviews are just like the tests.
Best Teacher ever!! Every single question on test came from notes.. reviews everything. Funny so sweet. I never made under a 100 or any of the test. Final was exactly the same as the review just different numbers. You would have to try extremely hard to fail this class. Best teacher ever hands down!!
She is extremely helpful on any questions and does her best to make math interesting. She is a great professor!
She limited MyMathLab homework to 3 tries, which is really stupid, and you should get unlimited tries since it's homework. She provided no extra credit and expected too much from us. I wish she would understand that not everyone has the mental stability and capacity that she does. Only take her if you're really good at math.
I WISH all professors were like this one.Great Class. Instructor gives you all the tools need to pass. You will need to use other resources for some assignments. I personally did not like the book, a pdf, but if you complete all assignments, test, discussions and projects ( do exactly as instructed) you should not receive a grade no lower than a B.
I would not say she is an 'incredible' professor. She expects a little too much. She is passionate about math, she loves it, but she does not realize that not everyone likes math. It does not come easy for some. And that made it a little difficult.. Also, no extra credit or opportunities. Dry class
She is a solid professor- if you do your work you are fine. summer goes a bit fast.
Great teacher, taking trig in a class where she is the teacher this semester. HW and quizzes online in Pearson MyMathLab. Just be on time to class.
Very awesome professor that actually enjoys what she does. I've taken more than one of her classes and she manages to make the material make sense. Work isn't overbearing, only problem was the one chance on online homework assignments. Very friendly and willing to help one-on-one when needed.
She loves what she does and that's the best part of learning from her. If you ask a question, she'll go through great lengths to answer it and will make sure you understand before she moves on. Homeworks are short and not too many tests. She also has a review day right before a test day which is super helpful. Very enthusiastic, and very nice.
Extremely easy! However, you're pretty much on your own ! I had problems with the Cryptology lesson, asked a question, and was basically told to go back to the book. Well, if I'm asking is because the book was not clear enough... Other than that, take her. Easy course, easy assignments, replies to emails right away! Easy A
I at first had a rough time with the course and emailed her that I was going to drop. She took time and called me and helped me tackle the course correctly! She was nice and very helpful. I guess all you need to do is ask for help and she will respond;-)
OK.. So ask a question you will be sent a youtube link. Sometimes not even unrelated to what you have asked. Not very clear when you ask for clarification. Had to re-learn how to not really learn. Google will be your best friend during this class. No Midterm or Final. Not like any other math class. The book is expensive and useless.
Professor Mazarakis may be by far the most helpful teacher I've ever had in my life. BUT she lectures solely off of students giving her questions to go over in the beginning of class. I did not find this easy. She does not "teach" the material, she answers the questions that are given to her. How do I have questions if I haven't been taught?!
The book had nothing to do with our assignments. Get ready to Google everything. She does zero teaching only grading. The 14x14 sudoku square craziness done only one way will just kill you. None of the tutors at Seminole campus can help you. The last 3-4 sections is just essays. No real world math like the advisers claimed. So many assignments!!!
Blended class. Attendance was not mandatory except for final and midterm. She is very nice and always willing to help. She's getting her PhD in math so she knows her stuff. You use My Math Lab but she explains everything clearly. She is a fantastic teacher and I'm taking her again for Trig in the fall. She made me love math again. She's awesome!
I have taken numerous online courses, including math, with excellent results, however, this class was totally different. No direction or assistance was provided. It felt as though the course was strictly on autopilot. The midterm and final exams account for almost all of the semester grade.
This class was not for me. I'm a 4.0 student and normally don't find courses too challenging. As a college student, I expect to be able to learn in my own way. If hours of online work through MyMathLab is how you learn, this course is for you. I barely got an A on material I thoroughly knew because of all the online work in this course. Avoid.
As someone who is not a math person I was really bummed when I learned I had to take trig. Professor Mazarakis is such a great person though, always willing to help and very nice. The downside is a lot of self teaching through my math lab but I think most all schools teach trig this way now. Gives reviews with questions right from midtermfinal.
She always has a smile on her face, and is very nice to students. The homework, tests, and quizzes are all online. The exams are set up by her, so they are much easier than the homework. Her example questions are like that of the exam. I would not skip a class.
I enjoy coming to her class every week. She helps her students all the time. She is funny and I'm excited to have next term!
The Prof. was very kind, attendance doesn't matter, although you are basically teaching yourself on mymathlab, she'll go over some of the subject matter extremely fast, but I was disappointed in the class overall. If I wanted to teach myself I would have taken an online class, but this is the norm at Seminole campus.
She's very nice but extremely annoying. Her test are not anything like the power points or what we do in class. It's hard to learn because she doesn't give you enough time to work a problem before she gives you the answer. Her power points are in no way helpful. Basically I hope you already know Stats. if not, good luck.
Wants you to pass. Listen in class, do the labs and get the fact sheets and you will pass. She will help you and stay after hours and extend office sessions to make sure you get content correct.
Amazing. I can't even describe how awesome this professor is. Switched out of Don Drew's class into Professor Mazarkis' class and I enjoyed math class once again! Avoid Don Drew at all costs and take Professor Mazarkis' (Kilgore's) class whenever available! You will learn the material and have fun doing it!!!
Online. Horrible format. Self guided course. MINIMAL INSTRUCTION GIVEN BY PROFESSOR! Buy the printed version of the book; the online book is difficult to navigate because you have to flip to charts in the back frequently. Prepare to spend 40-50 hours/wk educating yourself and searching youtube for help. Do poorly on 1 quiz - lose a letter grade!
AKA KILGORE (she changed her last name) She is amazing! I've had her for three classes and having her is worth wild. I always sucked at math and she was great! She does tend to get off topic, but it's never boring. I suggest always doing homework and showing up to class... you'll get an A!
Great Professor. Get your assignments done on time and you are good to go!
Professor Kilgore is a very nice person. She tends to get off topic a bit but it's chill. You do not need the Statslab if you take good notes, TRUST ME. I wish I hadn't paid for it., I didn't even use it! Everything she teaches will be on either the test/quizzes. Don't miss class because if you miss the notes you're doomed.
Im Im honestly a little surprised by how easy I found this class to be. Professor Kilagore was awsome, really I dont have one complaint. She replies fast to communication and grade in a timely manner. I will definatly be taking her statistic class.
Prof Kilgore made Pre-Calc the best it could be. Consistently goes out of her way to help students that need it. Actually teaches the material! That's hard to find nowadays. I wish I had her for my previous math classes and I hope to have her for my future math classes. Great personality, knows her stuff, always full of energy and ready to go. Love
My pre-calc class was dead and quiet all semester but Kilgore was still caring and continuing on with notes with enthusiasm even though no one talked. She added extra notes online half way through. Midterm & Final proctored but easy as can have equation sheet & she made them short. She also changed my 88 to a 91. Wow, couldn't have a better proff
Summer online statistics. No text book required but I kind of wish I had one. The homework on mymathlab is not graded. She doesn't really put any lectures or notes online so I was self taught. I used the tutoring summer for pretty much complete understanding of this course. Her midterm and final are proctored.
Such a wonderful human and teacher.
The final and midterms a HUGE portion of your overall grade. Tests and quizzes are easy, you have 2 tries to take the test and 4 tries on the quizzes. She offers extra credit but only gives it if you get a 100 on the assignment. Not the most helpful if you ask for help after class either. Pay attention to any examples she gives, they'll help later.
The best math teacher I have ever had. Genuinely looked forward to going to her class every week. She really wants every student to succeed and will give them all the tools to do so! I would recommend her to anyone.
I took statistics online. The midterm and final are both proctored and worth a huge percentage of your grade. There's lots of homework and quizzes, usually a couple homework assignments. The homework, quizzes, and tests aren't really worth much of the overall grade and she drops the lowest score. If you fail midterm/final you will not pass!!
Professor Kilgore was awesome, she was always telling funny stories and really cares about her students success. She gave us the chance to repeat old quizzes at the end of the semester and she lets you use formula sheets/specific notes on the midterm and final(rare!) I was able to bring my grade up 2 letters because of her help/my final exam grade
Wonderful teacher for stats Im horrible at math and passed with a B! Definitely recommend taking her if you want to learn and pass.
Horrible professor. Does not respond to any emails. When she did respond, she was rude.
LOVE this professor. Ive tried several different professors at SPC and end up dropping shortly after. Prof Kilgore ACTUALLY teaches!! Which is RARE now a days. I took trig, we didnt use my math lab and she lectured every class and told you exactly what will be on the exams. Love her and will definitely take again for future maths.
Prof. Kilgore made me actually enjoy trig. I had Prof. Hughes two semesters before and I didn't learn a thing and had to drop him. It left me with a bad impression with trig. Prof. Kilgore is super caring, she moves slowly through the lectures making sure everyone understands. You still have to study a good amount to pass but she makes it enjoyable
She was amazing. I loved coming to her class. She respected her students and was there for help when I needed her.
She won't help you, no feedback. She will just tell you if your failing keep going.
A really good professor that takes the time to thoroughly explain the material. Always open for questions during lectures and gives clear outline on what material should be on the next upcoming test. Final grade in class mostly dependent on in-class tests and quizzes. Replies to emails fairly quickly for any questions and additional assistance.
I have and will never recommend this professor to anyone hoping to understand math. She is getting paid for nothing besides sending emails of the due dates and will not offer you helpful resources. She doesn't teach and won't give feedback in anyway. If you're failing you might as well give up because she will watch you crumble and do nothing.
I took Dr. Kilgore for a "Live" Zoom class in the summer of 2020. She pre-recorded her lectures and did a live zoom 1x/ week where we could ask questions about the material. MyStatsLab is used for all the homework and quizzes. Her lectures were excellent and she is super nice. If you watch her lectures you'll be prepared for the midterm & final.
For Stats class every mathlab and quiz are essential to your grade. Modules quizzes are very important and a practice test is always given, which most of the test/quiz material comes from there. She is very responsive to emails. You will spend many hours studying for this class, it is no joke. Tutoring on Sat. is essential. Zoom recorded a plus!
Great professor emails back right away and helps whenever I ask for help you definitely have to put the work in
Im doing this class live zoom and she is awesome she answers my questions even after the zoom lectures but definitely go to the zoom lectures to get the material.
One of the hardest classes I have ever taken, so if youre looking for an easy math credit, this isnt the class for you. Her lectures are pre-recorded and her explanations on problems and terms are very rushed. MyMathLab is most of your grade, with section quizzes and tests. One positive thing is that she does allow formula sheets on exams.
Professor Kilgore is the absolute best professor Ive ever taken. Ive taken 3 of her classes now. She is incredibly fair and kind. Really takes her time to teach and answer questions. You can not fail her classes unless youre really not trying. Midterms and finals are a large percent of your grade, but if youre doing the hw youll do fine.
Really great teacher and will give more help if you need it. Pre-recorded videos and an optional zoom during week. all quizzes and homework are on mystats lab. 6 module tests that she posts early in a PDF format!! Great teacher and explains the material thoroughly and clearly, made me excited to do my stats
The online class is basically self teach. She posts YouTube videos on how to solve the problems that are on the homework and tests. Final is 45% of your grade.
One of the best math teachers I have had. Very personable and helpful. Wish I was able to attend more of the classes in person, though work got in the way. BUT she has all her lessons and resources available on my courses incase you miss. Great Professor!
I asked her for another chance at the midterm which is 60% of the final grade because my computer shut down halfway through and she refused LOL. the reviews are also nothing like the actual exams. homework is easy.
Took the 4 week winter class. Class is graded on module tests, midterm, final, syllabus quiz & room scan quiz. No HW/My StatLab. Allows 2 attempts on all tests, midterm AND final which is awesome! Very clear about grading criteria. Easy to reach. Midterm/final review exactly like the actual proctored tests. I would definitely take her class again!
Straight forward class. Kilgore was nice and professional. Proctored midterm and final.
This four week class was successful mostly due to Professor Kilgore clear instructions. I only had one question that was answered quickly but I feel like with other questions she may have received, she sent out emails to the whole class so that everyone had clarity which I appreciated
This course was 4 weeks. She is an amazing professor. She gives you all the tools to succeed. She has recorded lectures with PowerPoints in the course that you can replay over again. If you have additional questions she's prompt at responding. If you have issues understanding Math, definitely take Professor Kilgore.
I took elementary stats online; it was straightforward once I got used to navigating MyCourses. Zoom lectures were weekly and not mandatory.
Kilgore is the most caring and straightforward professor. She teaches exactly what you need to know and makes learning statistics a lot easier. She uses math lab and sometimes takes questions from their and puts it on her exam. If you attend the lectures and pay attention you will succeed. There are plenty of assignments to keep your grade up.
Prof. Kilgore makes stats surprisingly engaging. Her lessons are well-structured, and she's quick to clarify any doubts. The tests are challenging but fair. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for practice.
If you plan Kilgore for online Elem Stats.. DON'T! You pretty much teach yourself. She does not upload any lectures of herself, instead you have short videos of 1990's professors that halfway teach you anything. Your midterm/final exam is worth 60% of your grade. The only thing that helped me get through this class was Professor Leonard on youtube!
