Although the class was extremely boring, the professor is very helpful and clear when it comes to teaching. She often extends due dates for homework and does her best to make sure everyone understands--even if that means meeting with u outside of class. Take her if u struggle w/ math and need a prof that is willing to give u alot of attention!

Incredibly disorganized. Like others said, grades VERY slowly. Expect to wait at least a month to get your exam grades.. good luck withdrawing by then too. Poor lectures; gives little explanation & just regurgitates information directly from the book. Very strict with showing work... every little step needs specification. Not worth the time or $.

If you can finish the assignments (I took the 3 week long summer course and there were typically 2-3 assignments due every day), then you're set. The exam uses the same questions from the review and the review is mandatory. Prof is super nice and responses quickly to emails. Try to be at least one day ahead of assignments!

You're better off taking the class online due to her being completely unfazed by the whole class requesting her to be more specific besides just reading off the textbook as if we couldn't do that already, and to at least extend the hw assignments because that's where most of the learning will take place, and YouTube videos will be your teacher.

There is no passion when teaching, so many points taken off exams because there is no detailed work. I mean she wants detailed work.

She has a pretty noticeable accent however it is clear and understandable so there should be no problems taking her class. Be ready to do a lot of homework on ALEKS and almost rage quit every session though. She is lenient with tests and has given extra points if we completed our review packets.
