I don't like math so this class was harder to me than others. So much extra credit- going to class, bonus quizzes, and some rare in class quizzes. Tests are basically questions from quizzes. No reason not to do well in this class, but this professor is kind of useless. She would've have done better in a smaller class- she seems very one-on-one.

Straight up, trig is hard. It sucks, and I did not think I would do so hot. Turns out, Dr. Lenoir was a fantastic teacher. Her notes are very well organized, and she is very helpful in office hours. She is a little scary at first, but she's just being honest. She's a tough cookie, but a great professor. Take her, she's you're best option at FSU.

Grade is from 10 quizzes (2 are dropped), 3 tests (one is optional in order to replace bad score) and a final. Overall, this class is tough, you have to practice in order to get a grasp on the material. Lenoir is an AMAZING teacher, her notes are flawless and makes everything easy to understand. Go to class, get the notes, and do the practice

Simply put: Trig is hard. Her lectures are good, but she even says you have to put a ton of work in to be able to pass. If you have a busy schedule, take this class when you are able to put the most effort possible into it. The online system is not much of a help, so you need to go to tutoring if you want to succeed in this class.

Awesome professor! Notes posted online, explained in-depth in class. Posts practices online which are JUST like quizzes/tests. Grading scale is fair. Optional third test to help boost your grade. Curved exams by 6/8 points. After each class she explains stuff more for 15 min. Trig is hard but she explains it well! Always helpful in office hours.

Trigonometry is challenging, there isn't much getting around that but Pennington LeNoir is an amazing professor. She made me think about Trigonometry in a much more efficient way than I was taught in high school. She sometimes will offer bonus points on tests and quizzes if you score above a certain percentage. Highly Recommend.

I loved her! She is intimidating at first, but she can teach so well. She doesn't just throw numbers and formulas at your face. She breaks everything down and gives reason to formulas and concepts so you actually can apply them because you know what they are there for. She gives a lot of extra credit incentives on the tests and quizzes.

One of the best math teachers I've had. class is based off notes she made and she explains them very thoroughly, and will reclarify multiple times just to make sure you understand it. also always available during office hours, but will only help you if you have valid questions and will sometimes stay with you working if you still need help. 10/10

Dr. Lenoir is a fantastic professor. As someone who has always struggled with math, I felt like she gave crystal clear instructions on how to do each problem, provided AMPLE examples of problems, and she explains things extremely well. She's very strict on excuses/grading and things, but if you put in effort, you'll do well in the class.

Gives a quiz once a week, 3 tests, about 7 HW quizzes and the final exam. Gives great lectures, easy to understand her, and she's always available for office hours. She randomly checks for attendance, so make sure you go to class! She gives a pdf of notes and questions at the beginning of the class so that you can follow along. Easiest math class!

Trig at FSU has a reputation for being unnecessarily difficult, but Dr. LeNoir is a good choice for this class. Very qualified to teach, offered plenty of office hours, and seems to genuine want students to succeed. The grading scale is clear but makes it pretty difficult to get an A. The online test program is awful, but they may change soon.

Took for Spring 2019 and she didn't drop any grades. Your grade is based off of 3 tests, 12 lab quizzes, 12 homework quizzes and a final. 80 percent of your grade is calculated from the tests and the final. Do not count on anything being dropped and do not count on passing if you do not put in the time. Very knowledgeable and helpful + best option.

This is the easiest math class you will ever take. Prof LeNoir knows what she's talking about and explains things really well. All the homework is exactly like the quizzes. You can easily get an A in this class if you do the practice problems right before the quiz. Attendance is taken randomly and it will count as a quiz grade.

Dr. Lenoir was a great professor. She explained the concepts well but went very fast so its your responsibility to keep up. If you miss her class you will definitely fail because she covers alot of material in just one lecture. We had 3 days of review before the final which was a big help.

She goes over everything quickly in class and that's fine because you get the lecture notes, but the last section has a lot of trick questions in it. The concepts she goes over in the last section are also confusing and she doesn't go over them very well. I got As on the test/quiz without studying , but last module I got Bs/Cs even with studying

Time and understanding goes into doing well in this class, but it is not difficult. It was honestly a review of the algebra I took my sophomore year of high school. Dr. LeNoir is a spunky, Southern lady who wants you to do well so as long as you do the weekly HW quizzes and practices for the quizzes and 3 Tests + the final practice you will excel!

Decent. Some of the on-computer quizzes have trick questions, some are a breeze. Her class was a bit boring, but I suppose its because I don't care for math. She makes it very easy for anybody to understand the concepts and she repeats problem types so that you really get it. She cares that you learn the material. Overall, not too difficult.

Dr. Lenoir is just straight up unhelpful. She does give extra credit, but when it comes down to it, she's not a nice person. She goes almost comically slow, and doesn't have time to cover important topics that show up on her quizzes and tests. She also asked me to get further proof of illness even though I showed up with a doctors note excusing me.

i'll be honest, I took this class for an easy A because it's the hardest math I need for my major. yeah, awful idea. there is SO MUCH homework it is unreal. the quizzes and tests are so unbelievably hard, not because of the content but because the questions themselves are so contrived. also, you have to calculate your grade yourself...

Dr. LeNoir is probably your best option for trig. It's a hard class by itself but she does her best to make it passable. There are so many opportunities for bonus points that help your grade. She has lots of office hours. Her lectures are very clear and she has partial notes posted online. Do the homework and practices and you'll be fine.

Teaches well and in a way that actually makes you understand. She's very nice. There are random attendance checks that count toward one quiz grade, so go to class. No class, no pass.

I'm not a math person by any means and I really struggled in my high school trig class. So I was a bit reluctant about taking this course. But Dr. LeNoir not only stimulated my interest in the material, she also made it easy to understand. She is very caring and passionate about what she does. I would definitely recommend her!

I really wish there wasn't a pandemic so I could have taken the class in person! She seemed very personable based off of the online lectures and the few instances where I dropped into her Zoom office hours. I usually stuck to studying on my own and did relatively well, but she was most definitely helpful the few times I did get stumped on the work.

I took her class Spring semester, & at first, I was scared because I never took trig in high school, but she was a fantastic professor. As long as you pay attention to the lectures & do your HW, you should be fine :) Before a test, she holds extra help sessions, which are extremely helpful because she goes over everything that will be on the test.

Started with Grigorian and failed. The second I stepped into Lenoir's classroom you could tell she cared a lot more about you as an individual student and explained things broken down so that everyone understands. Very personable and you can tell she really cares about her students. I went from an F to an A. Sitting the front helps. Lots of EC.
