She's SUPER SMART and has so much power over the class. but she's a good prof overall.

Easy Midterms, pretty good notes, but i mostly rely on textbook for studying.

@@" but she was too fast in her last few sections...><

Her midterms are easy but the final is quite difficult. There are quite a lot of notetaking, so prepare to write and jot down notes quickly. Her jokes at the end of class are usually quite refreshing after a long lecture.

She's an excellent prof. She's clear, direct and organized. Her notes are like the bible of succeeding calculus. Yupz, they are better than the text.

Very good prof. She really knew what she was teaching.Go to her lecture even though it is in the early morning.Her midterm is fair, but not her final exam.

she's FAST FAST FAST FAST, you dont wanna miss any of her lecture..you'll fall way behind if you miss one class. but she's clear and very organized..

She's very clear and organized. Don't ask a question in her lecture - you're always wrong, she's always right ... which is good if you want to learn to do things the right way! Her exams were very fair. If you happen to go on to take 152 from Tariq YOU WILL MISS HER

VERY VERY FAST DO NOT SKIP! SKIP THEN YOU ARE DOOMED. Gives out ok midterms but a final that i would like to drop a F bomb on... a total of 3 proving questions and 2 weird funcions. Go for her to maximize your knowledge in math... despite the fact that she is quite uh... unfriendly during lectures.

Although she traches REALLY fast, but she's a good teacher, she knows what she is teaching! And Her notes are GREAT! And she is very helpful and explian in detail!

She teaches good & explains the problems clearly. But sometimes she changes 180 degrees! Depends on her mood! In case of asking for mark...don't waste your time! Once she makes her decision, she won't change it.

nice prof and her review is helpful

Very clear, good instructor. Although she may add to the fear factor if you already have math anxiety.

great notes, very helpful, attend lectures cuz she gives away a lot of hints for the midterm. she tries to scare you about how difficult the course will be, but its not

Very organized, very helpful, very good notes, one of the best prof that I ever have so far. Even though she sounds/seems mean, and scary, but she is actually pretty nice. Awsome jokes every class. Exams are very fair, but she is a little bit picky. Overall: AWSOME Prof.

Good prof, hard final exams, seems like she needs a hug. Maybe a couple hugs, and some stress relief.

Useful notes and fair exams

"ARE YOU NUTS?" Why are u taking a Math course WITHOUT Prof Menz? LOL a very exciting class having to get along with her ever-changing moods -.= Make sure no talking when she switches slides or She'll GO CRAZY! Very Clear explanations, excellent notes, Love her cool accent and voice!! GOOD PROF EVER MAN!.wait..hard final btw haha! but still cool

Fabulous prof, very clear although the order she teaches topics can be confusing. Don't worry if you've never taken Calculus before, I still ended up with an A-. Midterms are a joke, but study hard for the final!

She is an awsome prof. She knows her stuff well and good notes. Make sure you turn ur cell off and no talking btwn slide switching. Very esay midterms so try to do well cuz final is hard. Must take calculus with her or u are gonna be screwed.

GOOD TEACHER

great math teacher :) very clear notes. if you listen carefully in class, you basically know what's on the midterm. not hard to get good grades on midterm if you try and do assignments. but final is much harder compare to midterms, but if u do well on assignments and midterm, most students get average of B and above anyway.

Good prof, I really enjoyed her class she teaches pretty good. The midterms are easy but the final is hard.

she is a great prof! she gives excellent notes and example. She is well organized and willing to help anyone who has problem with math.

she's a good prof, but goes a little fast.. she knows her stuff but its some hard stuff man.. good luck

Possibly the best math prof ever. After having a bad math prof, you'd realize how good she is.

Great prof, best prof i've had so far. Doesn't spoon feed you. Really quick and clear. Her notes are understandable. Really organized. If you are thinking of taking math, get her. She's really good

Good instructor, although at first she may seem a bit bizarre. This, however, doesn't help the fact that the course hits you like a dump truck (unless you eat integrals for breakfast).

Everything up until the final exam was smooth sailing

Awesome instructor;

An extremely FUN and EXCITED class with Petra! Yes projects and reports due every 2 weeks, but u really learn a lot! I had never know almost everyone in the class before, and I did in this class! She not only emphasis on Math, but also heavily on team work! She is the first prof that I say "ONE WHO REALLY KNOWS HOW TO TEACH!"

Make sure you ace the midterm exams because they are a joke, but the final is messed!!!!

she is good. :)

very well prepared. notes are clear. although she act strict at the beginning, she's nice and funny actually. most of my frds like her.

her midterms are all jokes, the real killer is the final. Although almost everyone got over 80% on midterms, the final pulls everyone back to what you should really get in that course.

Most people might complain about how hard the material is but it's a very fair class. However, the overall average is pretty high so dont think that your doing so well. The final is the real decider in the class so study hard for it changes everything. The prof might come off with a bad attitude at the start but shes way better than most profs.

Best math prof ever

attend her lectures!! very helpful. she prepare some notes on webct for you to follow in class. over all she is great, except for being strict

GREAT MATH PROF. She explains the concepts REALLY REALLY WELL. BEST Prof I ever had. Her class has a great atmosphere. The midterms are super easy, just the basic stuff to make sure everyone is doing their work regularly. She said the final is hard, but it was pretty easy. She does not scale the marks, so what you get is what you get. not bell curv

Clear, precise, helpful and fair. Top notch math prof.

She is very helpful.

She is an intelligent Prof. She has a unique way to teach. Personally, I think she cares about her students. Her exams are fair enough. Although she looks very strict, she is very helpful. I will rate this Prof. GREAT!!!!!!

the best math prof i have so far ..mts are easy...and i like the way she explains the materials altho she seems strict.. but if u study (esp do the practice exam) and do the assignments .. u will get a good mark ..ppl said the final's hard ...it's not so if u work hard on ur assignments

I personally dread math classes but surprisingly Menz made it quite enjoyable. Quite simply, you just have to attend all lectures and do all homework and you WILL do fine! The first midterm is a joke so you have to take advantage of it because the second midterm isn't as easy. But beware...the final is hard!

Ok I skipped like 90% of the lectures and managed to get an A. Anyone who actually attempted the HW should get at least 90% on midterm. The stewert book is so good at teaching and pair that with the solution manual you're set! In fact i skipped even most of calc 1, and calc 3 lectures.

Great Prof! very organized and explains very well with excellent note that you print off and come to lecture with. As long as you go to lecture to fill in the notes and follow along you'll be fine!!

this professor is very good, she will make sure you understand the questions. When you have questions you shouold ask in Class or ask her.She will help you to acheive you goal in math. Be sure you study all the past practise of exams.

I got A+ and this is all I did. I did all her assignments earnestly to get 6/6. Even though I was shy, I asked my classmates if I could check over my answers. I did lon capa right after the lecture (it takes 30 min MAX). Studied her notes, solve the last relevent thirty odd questions in each section. Went to workshops and helped out hot asian girls

Easy prof. She doesn't curve the marks either so everyone does well. However, she is extremely rude and very condescending. Take math with her if you want to do well but be prepared to skip a lot. After every lecture, I'm not sure if I should strangle me or her

You have to take Math 157 with her! She's a really passionate prof. and she made math really enjoyable for me (I used to HATE math) Her course materials are VERY HELPFUL, ATTEND ALL LEC. AND DO ALL ASSIGNED QUESTIONS and you'll be fine for the 2 or 3 easy midterms... but her final is VERY HARD... so study HARD for it! :)

She is the first good math professor I have ever encountered had. She speaks clearly, gets to the point, provides excellent lecture slides (to print) and gives fair exams. The course itself is very hard with LOADS of work, but there is no question that she is an excellent overall prof something I rarely say.

do not attend her class. Get a tutor and you will ace this class. If you have taken Calculus 12, dont even bother to get a tutor. If you dont get an A+, you fail.

Her tests are TRICKY(paper/electronic) but at the same time she provides enough and helpful sections that are meant to be attended by ones who think her lectures are not clear enough. Complete understanding of the material is needed to ace the course for those who havent taken calculus before.

Awesome Prof. explains everything to the point, she is clear and concise. The ONLY thing I hate is her T/F questions, she changes the smallest things on it and you will not notice. But basically if you don't do examples your screwed and lectures are a must! Also you should not fall behind, it is hard to catch up!

awesome and fun!

Awesome prof! A little fast with her notes, so it makes it hard to follow (occasionally). She is really willing to help as long as you want to learn. She does get frustrated sometimes. She attempts to make her class as fun as possible (with corny jokes at the end or start of each lecture). Exams are fair, assignments are easy, so yea, not bad :D.

Decent teacher. She'll occasionally rush through the material and seems a bit impatient at times, but she's more than willing to help students who seek it.

Great prof! Her notes are excellent, and her lectures are important, so make sure you don't skip them! The tests were rather tricky, but as long as you keep up with the homework and do the example questions she gives you in the notes, it shouldn't be too hard.

Great Professor!.. Must take her for beginners business math! She's funny & easy to approach. Attendance is mandatory, unless you got a friend to take notes for u. Class Average 67% this semester.

Amazing Prof! She was very helpful and the notes were all you needed to do well. Midterms were pretty easy and the final was fair. I definitely recommend her for MATH 157.

great prof! ... midterm 1 was pretty easy and midterm 2 and final were fair. Attendance is mandatory! Her notes are very important esp doing lon capa!

There were 10 written assignments, lon capa assignments after almost every lecture, 2 midterms worth 15% and a final (50%), so it's a fair amount of commitment, but if you attend the lectures and do the homework thoroughly, it should go well! Petra cares about her students.

Nice and funny lady reminds me my high school math teacher .(the appearance , both marry mathematicians, both enjoy sharing staff about their sons, both speak fast)But I really need to complain about TAs .every time I check the answers with my friend before I handed in assignments.When we got the marks ,she was always 6 out of 6 .and im like 5...:(

She gave me a very bad first impression. But, she's a pretty good prof. Finals and midterm were challenging, but if you were paying attention and doing the homework, then it's not that bad

She is a good prof. Her notes were clear and lots of explaination. Make sure you do well on the first two midterm terms since they are easy to get high marks. The final will most likely pull your mark down. So beaware!!

I did okay with Math in Highschool, but without any Calculus background, my grade severely dropped. Other than my struggle to understand, she has really good notes that will help you. Her midterms don't seem hard, as long as you know what you're doing. A good prof overall. Bad first impression though.

Amazing prof. I hate math and always failed at it in HS; for the first time in my life I'm getting good grades and actually understanding stuff. Menz shows enormous enthusiasm for Math and acts as if she genuinely wants us to do well. She seems really dedicated to teaching, unlike most of my profs who seem bored out of their minds.

First off this course isn't too bad if you look at the material, what makes it hard is Petra's teaching style. Her notes are straight from the text and her examples are the easiest, even though those are nothing compared to examable questions. Your going to have to teach yourself and study hard. Exams are hard and class average is always low.

Shes a great teacher, probably the best I've ever had. Explains everything crystal clear. Her notes are straight out of the textbook, and examples are way too easy. Weekly assignments are a joke compared to the tests. Be prepared to do hundreds of the most difficult examples to do well on tests. Class average was around 50% for all midterms/finals.

VERY strict and angry-looking prof. If you are easily scared you will be scared by her. However, I really like profs who take total control so I really like Petra and her Nazi-ish way of teaching. Really strict and zips through material pretty quickly, but EXTREMELY clear. Ask her for help with homework at workshop! Complete explanations in 30 secs

Sarcastic when ppl make mistakes, but thats part of her humour. shes funny and great at teaching. shows u all the work required for solutions, which is very helpful for exams, caz all u have to do is remember the steps, and of course have a decent understanding to the reasoning of the solution.

she gives weekly assignment and makes you do online assignment as well but they help. She can be kind of mean but in a hilarious way so she keeps you awake during lecture! there is support session if you need help and overall i found the midterms fair except that she's extremely picky with the marking.

I think Petra is very misunderstood and people are thrown off by her straight-forwardness. She doesn't "sugar-coat" things and tells it like it is (which I love!) As for her teaching, if you haven't taken calculus she will go too fast (welcome to university!) but if you've taken it before, have her as your teacher! Midterm=easy, Final=KNOW UR STUFF

can be very blunt and a little abrasive but i love it! her notes were very neat and concise (so important!) and she went over examples carefully and clearly. final was pretty brutal but still fair. if you show up to lectures, and do the hw, it's nothing anyone can't handle. i'm just terrible at calculus but did okay in the end.

I don't understand her especially when she tells jokes because of her accent. Her online and offline assignments are annoying but helpful. Not enough time for midterms although they are easy. Final is harder and more challenging.

Great teacher. Must be good and fast at math to do well in this course. The course has a heavy workload but it's not too bad. workshops are quite helpful. study hard and you'll do fine.

She talks SUPER fast so PAY attention and don't be late. Her lectures are never dull because she keeps you on your toes and time flies. Her midterms are FAIR and considerably easy so STUDY hard for them! Final was LONG and alot of work. She'll try to lighten the mood every lecture with a comic or something. Good prof.

She goes pretty fast with the material so make sure you copy everything down. Try not to miss lectures. Weekly assignments and Lon Capa was helpful. Midterms were relatively easy but the final was kinda hard.

I took this class in Fall 08. She was very intimadating at first saying people will fail, but she is a good teacher overall. Her uploaded notes are fill-in-the-blanks. She offered sessions for us to ask her questions so go to those if you're weak in math. Calculus is like a big jump from Math 12.

Crazy But Helpful

Chances are you are not going to like her personality - she's tough, can be rude and can be intimidating. BUT if you put in the time and effort, you'll get a ton out of this course. She warns you of her high expectations. Do all the homework questions, use the mathlab, and see her one-on-one (completely different person) and you'll be just fine.

Excellent Professor but need to work hard to get a good mark

Do Not take this class by distance ed, whatever you do... I have taken many classes by distance ed without a prob, but having done Math 190 by distance fills me with regret and my GPA has taken a rough blow.

She is intimidating actually but she can also be really nice. Seems like she cares about her students. Although she seems like she thinks you know everything already and expects a lot from you, which is why this is a hard course. You have to work really hard to get your B or A

She is the BEST!!!

This is never ever an easy course! Especially when you choose HER as your prof! However, if you can attend all her lectures and go to the workshop frequently you will survive it. The midterms are fine but the final is horrible… be aware of it.

If you want to survive, you must be on top of the hw everyday ESPECIALLY IN TE BEGINNING. Mid term 1 and 2 is easy because she basically gives u the answers. i was getting 84%, then the final dropped me to 71. (56/100) I suggest U keep ur mark very very very high pre-final and you can walk out with a B easily. i barely studied for the final =(

You will do well in this course if you have taken Calculus before and work hard. You will do well in this course if you work your butt off and haven't taken Calculus before. She has good notes and there are no surprises. If you know your stuff you should have no problem with the midterms or the exams. You must attend every class.

For those who have not taken calculus at all, IT IS EXTREMELY HARD. So, for those who have, you still must work hard because there are a lot of applications. Prof. Menz cares about structure and organization, and statements in math. But midterms and finals were fair enough. Final was a bit hard. She's intimidating, but she's caring at the same ti

I took this back in 2008. Petra is kinda old-school in her approach to teaching math, and it honestly helped me out a lot. At first I absolutely hated the class, the assignments and her. But as time went by (and after going to her for help) I slowly started doing better and better. Don't give up on the class, work your butt off and you will be ok.

I have no idea what mark I'll get yet because I've only done 1 midterm so far. I can tell you that the 1st midterm is very fair because most of the questions are either related to the questions from the assigned exercises or the exact same questions! online questions and instructor assignments are a guarantee boost for your mark as well.

I failed my diagnostic test and still managed to get A- on both my midterms.. that's how great she is. She also dressed up as a karate master and gave us candy on halloween!! just do all the required textbook questions and you'll do fine!

This lecture is easy to me,the prifessor is good, but her writing notes are not so well...Even can't guess what the word is ..

Key thing to doing well is to attend all lectures, as she takes very small details in her notes and puts it into exams, even when she only does one example. I've taken her class twice; once in the fall of 2010 and I just finished it this fall. I retook it because I received a C+ (I skipped almost every lecture after Sept), but now I have an A+. =)

do all your homework or else you will cram for 24/7 the day before the exam! do all your lon capa and homework assignments because if you fail both the midterms, you can still pass!

Extremely approachable and friendly prof. Very understanding of her students and goes out of her way to help anyone who asks. Exams are extremely fair but don't expect to do well in the course unless you put in a lot of work. It isn't easy. I ended up with an A- with no Calc background.

as long as you do textbook question you'll do well and attend workshop.

WOW!! I was in CACLC SUPPORT ALSO but I got an A-! Studied around 3hours 5 days before the final and got an A- on the final haha! KEY TIP FOR FUTURE STUDENTS: do the assigned textbook questions throughout the course! do not cram last minute! Her writing is messy so PAY ATTENTION!Be respectful and don't talk when she's talking.

menz really wants all her students to succeed. Don't cram, do math homework from textbook and make sure u keep note of what she tells u, straight up will be on the test.Great teacher, really supportive. writing isn't always legible though. Comment below is very accurate too!

Calc background is definitely recommended. Lectures are helpful as she will dictate exactly what is needed for full marks and trust me, it is all too easy to lose marks for omitting the smallest of details. Assignments, midterms and finals were fair and although I didn't do textbook questions, they are recommended as they will show up again.

Interesting Prof, funny jokes at times, makes the class fairly interesting.

Her accent was no problem for me. Her m/t were fair but the final was pretty hard. I think she's a very good prof and will offer you help when you need it.

Great class, but you really have to pay attention. Go in for extra help and you'll do great. Get to know your derivatives!

Best math prof at SFU. Exams are extremely fair and predictable. She tells you stuff that's going to be on them throughout the semester. Very understanding and a great help. Course is easy once basic derivative rules are learned. Very intense though, do all the practices, assignments, and practice exams.

Menz makes math much easier since her notes are very useful, but you must attend class to fill them in. She's clear in her explanations, but can go too fast. An Excellent prof. But it's still math, so be prepared.

She is very clear and had good depth in maths.

Petra has a wonderful set of notes that explain everything you need to know. She gives hints on things that will be on the midterms and final and is very fair in her assessments of exams and assignments. She speeds through the course quickly so background calculus is preferable, but not essential. You must work hard though and stay on top of things

It would be helpful to have a background in calculus before taking her course, because she doesn't make calculus any easier. She puts relevant questions in our midterms and you would have seen those questions if you did your homework. In my opinion there's too much theory questions and not enough mechanical ones.

Taking MATH 157, chances are, you are either pursuing a Business or Economics Major. You'll find that, if you put enough effort into the course, these are some of the EASIEST marks you'll get compared to the BUS and ECON courses that you'll take. Doing your homework is a must, the course goes fast. Great prof, dry sense of humour. Recommended.

Do homework, read textbook, fully understand concepts then you will get an A in her class. She teaches fairly quickly so its highly recommended you attend all lectures. Lenient with marks, only scales up on final.

Great instructor! If you work hard, and always keep up with assignments, you will succeed. She may seem hard at times, but in the end, she really just wants you to do well. Definitely enjoyed my semester with her.

Her notes are really easy to understand, weekly assignments are hard so be sure to use the workshop, exams are really easy. Even though she says she doesn't scale, her final exam is scaled and i got over 100%

Fantastic prof! Her lectures notes are all you need to survive this course. I bought the textbook and didn't even use it once! All I needed to study were her notes and past exams to do well on the exams. Attend all her lectures and pay attention (she goes fast)and you will do well!

She was very helpful! I think she is a good professor but students need to put in the effort. A lot of people complain but do not even play their part. She makes you work hard because your going to learn how to teach. If you're going to be a teacher stop complaining and work hard. How can you be a math teacher if you can't even get through class

Was put off by her at first, but as the semester goes on she becomes more welcoming and helpful!

The material isn't difficult but there is a LOT of work. Spreads marks out over assignments. She's really good about listening to feedback and responding. She's tough and expects you to do your work. No deadline extensions. More than fair with marks.

Really caring, her routine worked well for me. However, due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to pass this class(presumably, I haven't taken the exam yet, but I need like an 80% to get a decent final mark)

Awesome and touche prof. She is inspiring and caring(if you can prove to be respectable). She even pulled some bad/mean comments on this site to to laugh it off with the class in lecture. Her lectures are fast but clear, she is also very knowledgeable in the material. btw you get roasted in class if you don't study and slack off.

I really enjoyed Mrs. Menz's class. She is tough, but she genuinely seems to enjoy the material she teaches, and her passion makes lectures less dull (but I mean... how exciting could a calc lecture be?). There is lots of homework, but I really think that it helped with preparation for the final exam.

Petra is an amazing teacher. But she does expect a lot from her students. You will need to put at least 10 hours a week on this course if you want to succeed.

Petra is passionate about her work. Although rushed at times, the class overall is quite laid back. Yes, she is strict, but this helps the class understand concepts more well. Be sure to understand the notes that you are taking and do the homework. The midterm that I just completed was fairly straightforward, based on the instructor questions.

Honestly, the exams are much easier than the paper worksheets and online questions. It isn't even comparable. She puts very easy and fair questions that are nothing like the notes as the notes have much harder questions. It is an easy class granted you pay attention and practice problems/do homework without googling everything.

This is an extremely demanding course so you need to be determined to work hard. Has high expectations but does set you up for success if you are willing to put in the hard work. Do not take many courses alongside this course, you will need to spend everyday doing math to succeed. Do all the work as the tests are fair and based on them.

Dr. Menz really cares about her students' learning experience. The course was very well organized and the test material was clearly connected to the assignments. But in the end this is a very hard math course; you have to put in the effort. Dr. Menz is not warm & fuzzy, but she is approachable. If you are working hard she wants to help you do well.

This class is very content heavy, take fewer courses if possible. I recommend getting a tablet for this class because it will make notetaking and group assignment submissions much easier. Petra's exams this semester was mostly based on lightboard lectures, group assignments, and explorations. She may change it up*.

Petra is an amazing professor! She cares about her students' success. She is easy-to-understand and encourages students to ask questions. The Q-Workshop lets students learn together with help from Petra or the TA. Her class is fun with hands-on activities. If you work hard, she isn't as hard as you think! She uses tough love, but has a heart!

Petra cares a lot about her students and made the lecture very engaging. The course was extremely organized. She can seem a little scary but she really cares about your success. The course was a ton of work though. Was very difficult to juggle with multiple other courses.

Never interacted with her in person however, communicating with her over email, canvas, and through zoom was very pleasant. She always responded kindly and answered my questions. I found the course well instructed and easy to follow.

Petra is a great instructor. At first she is very intimidating, and I can't lie, I did cry in her class LOL. But she cares about student success and she is extremely passionate about math. People think she is mean, but I think she is just very blunt in a way that many people are not used to. Very demanding course, practice some math before if u can

Petra was intimidating at first but once you talk to her one-on-one, she's actually like a friend. The class had group assignments, a reflection and 3 online quizzes due every week [plus the draft for the GA]. Just show her that you're trying hard and participate and you'll be fine! I bombed all my exams but got a B.. DEFINITELY GO TO Q WORKSHOP.

I loved Petra! She's not really all that strict, she's just German. I found her hilarious. She also cares very much and she will really be there to help you! Math190 is a 4 credit course, not easy GPA boost or some quick credits. lots of work. There is help available - you just have to be the one to ask for it.

She might seem critical and mean at first, but once u start participating all the time & show her that u always come prepared to class (tip: finish all weekly quizzes before that unit's introduced), she gets to know u better and hence a profound relationship between u and her. Don't memorize a thing or u'll do poorly. Full understanding's the key.

Petra is a demanding yet caring professor. Her class is challenging, but engaging. I found unstuckstudy ai and Q-Workshops super helpful for staying on top of the workload. If you're willing to put in the effort, you'll learn a lot from this course.

I took FANX99 with Petre. I think she truly is an amazing prof who wants her students to do well. She was always very helpful and willing to provide extra help. As long as you try and make an effort and put the time in you'll be good for this class. Don't be afraid to ask her questions. Her midterms were fair and samples were representative.

i'm finishing up FANX99 with Petra, and so far she has been a great instructor. She teaches math in a way that is engaging. If you participate and engage in the class discussions/activities, and do your homework and assigned assignments, you are certain to succeed. She is very charismatic and caring! Just be open minded and don't be intimidated :)

i loved petra! she can seem a little intimidating, but once you get to know her, she's honestly so funny. she's very passionate about math and really wants her students to succeed. her exams were fair, and were very similar to the sample ones she posts on canvas. as long as you put in the work and participate, you will do well in the class.

This is my second time taking this class, and Petra was amazing! She really helped me understand the concepts & really cared that the class tried. She's German, so seems tough, but is super respectful & funny. The course is ran by a bunch of profs and TAs tho, so there are weekly quizzes, weekly assignments, and weekly online stuff.

Petra is honestly the best prof you could ever have for this math class. She seems intimidating at first, but she's quite funny and wants you to succeed. I took this course just for credit and usually am bad at math, but she helped me succeed. The exams are very similar to the practice exams she gives so study those and you should be good.

She's not strict or scary, she's just German lol. She cares deeply about her students and there are so many chances for more help! This is a four credit course, expect a lot of work (especially group work). That said, I thought the assignments were really fun! I think that Petra might be the only prof to ever believe in me

Best professor I have ever had. She is so kind, she loves her students, honestly, if I could give her a rating of 100/10, I would. I don't know why she has a low rating. I suck at math and always have, but TRUST ME, you will do SO good in her class.

Honestly great professor! Initially when looking at her RMP ratings I was kinda worried, but after taking FANX99 she's great. She makes math concepts very easy to understand and offers help when you need it. She shares a lot of personal stories which are very interesting and inspirational. If you're taking FANX99 she's the best option!

Petra cares about her students and whether they do well. the course has a lot of quizzes and assignments, if you attend class regularly and do the work you will do very well.

She was honestly a super nice math teacher she deffo cares a lot about her students she did a quiz every tuesday which I failed but if u stuided u can do fine, in the end i made it out of the coruse with a b so failing those quizzes every week dotn matter but make sure you try to particpate and always do hoemwork it saves u
