Her Excursions in Mathematics section of Multicultural Mathematics class is the BEST class to take if you choke at the thought of numbers and calculus.More of a history/word/logic problems kind of class. She guarantees a C- to those w/perfect attendance.

Easiest class I have ever taken. It's different than all the other excusions classes. It's more like 2nd grade math, but with weird symbols. If you have any common sense you will have no problem. She is kinda wierd though she is very impressed by creatity

shes nice and tried to make class fun sometimes, but pretty much didnt teach anything although she tried...she knows what shes talking about but didnt know how to teach it...we pretty much had to teach ourselves calc 2...i wouldnt recommend

Nice person but perhaps on a different intellectual level at times. Lectures can be hard to understand. She will always help you if you ask and not too hard on due dates. Can grade hard at times.

hard class. quizes once a week. she is super smart when it comes to math but doesn't always know how to teach it well. wouldn't recommend if you did not have calc before

This class was pretty difficult and Dr. Hall was not much help. The text book is impossible to understand. Dr. Hall is very smart but doesn't have any people skills at all. Even with that, if you study hard you can still get a good grade.

Tests aren't too bad, gives study guides for every one, final was easy, as long as you show up and take good notes as well as complete the study guides you will get a good grade in the class

Professor Hall is very nice and helpful, but her class can get boring at times. All the homework is on the syllabus and usually it's due once every other week. When homework is due you have a quiz. Sometimes she gets confusing, but as long as you keep up with the work you'll get a B.. will have to work a little bit for an A.

Don't take symmetry. Most pointless and confusing class I've ever taken. She's not a bad professor but the subject is just very confusing and abstract. It was a very awkward class. She will assign homework that doesn't make any sense, mainly because the textbook makes no sense. I would not recommend anyone taking this class.

Dr. Hall is a genuinely nice professor. She will let you make up quizzes and homework with some leniency. Homework and quizzes are assigned bi-monthly without the use of a syllabus calendar. Rachel will say "at any rate" about 5 times per class. Very hard to wake up for this class if its at 8am.

I took her Symmetry class to fulfill my math beauty requirement. The class was SO boring, it was very hard to sit through. She is very passionate about the subject though so she's a pretty good teacher. Just so, so boring.

Pretty weird teacher. Not bad class. Makes things a bit more confusing than they need to be but if you know calc going in you will be fine.

Professor Hall is very knowledgeable about Calculus. I think as long as you follow along in class and do the weekly homework, you'll do well on the weekly quizzes and the exams. It was also super nice to have a Supplemental Instructor for the class to help explain things that Dr. Hall didn't explain well.

She goes over a lot of music terms assuming that you'll know them. If you don't review the slides outside of class, it is unlikely that you'll pass the quizzes. Homework assignments are long and unclear. The math and music often don't correlate. Not an easy class.

Average professor for an averagely hard class. After taking Calc in high school this was more of a review class, but she helped me understand things I didn't before. She is boring, which I think is because she struggles to connect with college students. If you're good at math not a bad choice, but if you need help definitely look elsewhere.

She is a nice professor, but she goes over the slides very fast and the class is boring. She is able to help if we have trouble with our work and is accessible outside the class. I went to tutoring sessions and they also help. I switched MAT132 to this class because I felt like the material was easier, but the tests are difficult than the quizzes.

Dr. Hall is a very nice woman, but I would steer clear of her class. I ended up having to teach myself most of the work because her lectures are so confusing. To be fair, this was her first time teaching MAT180, but nonetheless frustrating. Very long homework due about once a week. Often contains stuff we haven't gone over and graded for accuracy.

Taking her music class, I was not challenged very much. I also knew some of the musical terms she would use, so I can understand how people who know nothing about music would get confused. I found myself bored in most of her lectures, and she didn't really connect with my class at all.

overall an average course which is not too difficult. major con is that class lectures seem simple and easy but testing has questions do not reflect class lectures. it is not clear. some homework and have quizzes the day it's due but not difficult. extra credit assignment is given and office hours an can help too.

I took Dr. Hall for symmetry and as long as you show up and pay attention it is an easy A. She gives extra credit an all chapter tests and are fairly easy to answer. There is homework and a test each chapter but they are both easy and short.

Math of Games and Politics class was so easy. Once you get the hang of it, its easy. Don't bother buying a textbook, we used it for the HW like 3 times- just get it from a classmate. A few quizzes and 2 tests and a final. Quizzes and tests are so easy and they're always exactly what we learned. Notes are given to you on a print out every class.

Dr. Hall is very nice but the class just wasn't good. I struggled to understand the material and had to use outside sources to understand the material clearly. my grade at the start of the semester was bad and is still affecting me even though ive put up 90% on average since September.

Dr.Hall is a really nice person and is always willing to help you out if you're struggling with a concept. I found this class pretty boring and was constantly zoning out. She uses the textbook but you don't really need it. She gave a decent amount of homework. She also offers extra credit after the exams.

Really nice, but lectures were boring. She is very willing to help in office hours or on Zoom. Has the HW problems in Canvas, so don't really need a textbook unless you want to read. Grades HW for completion with quizzes after each, which are brief at end of class. Two tests make up big portion of grade so study.

Dr. Hall is very smart and she knows what she is talking about, however, her lectures are boring and it is difficult to pay attention. She doesn't teach but instead just does problems while you watch. She does offer test corrections and the bottom 3 quizzes are dropped so it is easy to succeed in the class if you put in the effort.
