The best professor you will find. Very helpful. Tests were hard, it's Math, but if you followed her instructions. No problem. I wish I had to take more of her classes.
BEST TEACHER
Wonderful...enthusiastic! Great Professor - take all of you math req with her!
GREAT TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had her for elementary stats in 2000. Great professor and is willing to do whatever it takes to help you improve. Very cool and laid-back. Wish I had her as a stats and econometrics professor while I am trying to receive my bachelors.
Best Teacher
sucks...but has a sense of humor
She is a very nice teacher and very, very funny!!
THe best math teacher. Very funny and alway has time to help. I would like to have MAT281 with her.
Hands down the best math teacher I have ever had, and I suck at math btw... she blows every other math teacher away at Bergen including Forstrom...
i took her her intermediate and precalculas class.she is one of the best teachers i ever met.she is very funny, teaches very clearly and very helpful.she is number one.
The best in everything!!!!!!!!!!just perfect
Best Teacher Ever.
She expects you to know some info on the subject you take. She teaches at a very high level. A lot of people like to brown noise her. The only thing about this teacher is that she's hot.
Very helpful. Makes you understand the material. Good with make-up tests. Very understanding.
She teaches very fast. She doesn't explain step by step. She at least tries to help but I didn't find it very clear. Take her if you've taken precal before.
She teaches at a very fast pace but if you show up to class everytime, an A is cake. Great sense of humor. She understands her students. She is somewhat leniant if you explain a situation to her. NO MAKE UP EXAMS, NO EXTRA CREDIT. Just go to class and you'll be fine.
I had her for MAT-045 & MAT-180. She epitomizes the craft of being a teacher. She truly has a big heart and cares about her students. She even bought the class pizza as an award for making it through Pre-Cal.
She is so nice both personality wise and in looks. She reviews every homework problem before proceeding and stays late to answer any remaining questions. What more can one want?
She is awesome. I have had trouble with math in the past and she has completed changed my view on the subject. She is very helpful and obviously cares about her students. She moves at a fast pace but is easy to understand. She has a great sense of humor. The BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. TAKE HER.
Great WHen Ever YOu take Her!
Awesome teacher period.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! She's just great. She does teach fast, but it's college people, they're not here to baby you. If you need extra help, she's always in her office and willing to help.
Very smart Professor, and funny also. She does have a lot of patience with people and is always willing to help you with anything.
I was introduced to this site by my classmate and since i was here browsing I just wanted to say that she is the best Prof. I have ever had in my college experience. Words can't describe her I got lucky by getting her, but if u get to chance to read this take her, you will be so happy.She makes math fun and understanding in such simple ways. I plan
awesooome teacher, really down to earth..i love her!
SHE GOES WAY TOO FAST. UNCLEAR AT TIMES.DO NOT TAKE HER IS MATH IS NOT YOUR MAJOR.
she is great for alg045.it seems that she is the nicest math professor in the department.she will go a little fast as she has to cover lot of material.will understand abt ur busy schedule.if u take the nite class then she will let u out early.she brings in brownies,cookies,candies etc.her class is fun.take her.
Took her in Spring06. Her class was hard. She was very nice but she was tough. She even admitted that she was tough. She's not there to grade your personality, so you better be on top of your game if you want to do well in her class. She is NOT an easy teacher.
The way she teaches it makes it a hard class. I'm suprised a lot of the raters here liked her because she was a "good teacher". She goes very fast and if you can't keep up you are screwed. I should have switched out of her class from day 1.
Class isn't that bad at all. Just do the homework and take good notes in class. Her 5 or 6 quizes make up one test which can help a lot. The only thing I didn't like was that the 2 tests that their was were worth 25% of your final grade each. If you mess up in one like get a 51 for example, it will be hard to boost it back up..
Well, I was so stupid that I didnt drop that class, I still regret it, I got an F. she couldve given me an E or a D at least, I showed up every class, BUt I couldnt keep up with the work, she is so fast... makes it easy, Iam very disappointed that I got an F, that was very mean of her.... DONT TAKE HER!!!!!!!
I dnt knw wht the other people r talkin bout but I personally found her class passable.In de begining I didnt care much nd didnt try my hardest but wen I did try my hardest I aced all the quizes and pased all the tests.U def gotta work hard but if u do ur hw u shuld b fine.SHe also explains everything very well. SHe does go fast so stay awake!!
No Comments
uhm... she is very hot, but that's not important. the other raters that gave her a low rating were probably lazy because she meticulously goes over every problem. exceptional teacher! if you are interested in math take her. best math teacher i had. not that fast, really. her office hours are the only downside... but you can talk to her after class.
She's the KING of the math teachers in 'da' school!!!!!!!!!!!! She explains so perfectly!!! Plus, she's the funniest and 'da' cutest! Come on guys stop grumbling yo! Guys if you don't work hard; you will ALWAYS fail! PLEASE GET REAL yo~This is da last educational station in our lives yo. If we fail here, then no more education will wait for us! yo~
i am taking her now and i couldn't pass algebra a but wanted to save $ by taking both together. i failed algebra in h.s but she made it extremely clear-you must work and shouldn't miss a class or u will fall behind, she is fast but really sweet and i have passed every objective so far. i just hope i pass the final
as long as you keep up with the work you'll be fine. she explains things well to begin with.
Professor Wieland is an awesome teacher. She writes every little thing out on the board to keep everyone up to speed on what she's doing. She teaches fast, but it's what she has to do to cover all of the material. Should be a problem if you do your homework and you go to class.
loved her awesome teachers and really cares for her students she is a bit wacked with enviornmental stuff but its cool i would take another class with her anytime love her!!!!!!
Started taking the class, she seemed like a very nice lady, very clear, and would stop to go over things again. I will admit she is a good teacher, but has a major attitude problem if you have not been a brown nose. I couldn't attend class because I had food poisoning and emailed her for the work I was going to miss and she wrote a nasty email back
Professor Wieland is an amazing professor. She'd carefully grade each problem on tests to see where you went wrong,and assigns partial credit if you made simple mistakes. To carefully grade hundreds of math problems for all those students,immediately implicates that she's a great professor. Not an easy course, but a great professor if you study wel
If you get the night class she lets you out early around 9:50pm,10pm. I am good in math so it was easy for me. She is nice and makes a couple of jokes then and there.
As I'm taking calculus over the summer, I'm realizing she did us a very big disservice by not going over a number of trig concepts that are being used everywhere in calculus. If she had been more dedicated to her class rather than wasting her time playing global warming advocate, she wouldn't have missed so much class time.
She's the best teacher i've ever had...
I was too harsh and unfair with my comments (2 comments below) about not completing a trig section. She's an excellent professor who does a great job explaining concepts and helping students master the material before tests. Considering my overall experience, I was being a jerk because Summer Calculus was hard.
Professor Wieland is an amazing professor. All of the negative comments are from people who have failed her course. You have to do work in her class so don't expect to get a free A.
The best!
Explains very well but goes very fast! Very important to do the homework and take good notes. Very kind and willing to stay after class. Drops the lowest grade. Read the book as the class moves super fast - I do not recommend this class if you have not had algebra previously - if you have had it before - you will do well. Fast but good professor!
she is the kindest person in the world, i took her months ago and we still talk to this day
Best teacher every had and very nice. She is very caring and she is also a great grader.
I was recommended by my fiance to take Professor Wieland and I'm glad I did. She is a funny, easy going, helpful and amazing Professor; I wish there were more professors like herself. If you have trouble she will do everything she can to help you understand and she's never pushed anyone aside. If you see her name for any math subjects, TAKE HER!
Professor Wieland is definitely one of the better math professors at Bergen. She worked very hard to make sure we understood the material. Homework was optional, but I recommend that you do it anyway to help with learning. I look forward to taking MAT-180 with her this semester.
Another inspiration professor! She was amazing. Extremely helpful. Kind & Funny! Pretty bummed that she won't be teach fall 10 or spring 11. But, take her ASAP! best professor! Knows her stuff & helps EVERY student until they understand!!!
If only every professor could teach like she did. I took her for spring semester and she was an awesome professor. Her explanations were flawless & made math very doable! Super nice. I can go on for days on helpful she was .. TAKE HER!!!! best bergen prof!
I miss her teaching. You can not compare her to any other math proff
This teacher is great! Assigns hw but dosnt check but do it, you will do better on tests. Test can be a little difficult but if you study and do hw you will do fine. Some classes are split into two halves, first half is notes and second half is a group "test" where you work in a small group of five or less ppl to complete a one sided wrksheet.
BEST TEACHER AT BERGEN! very clear and very helpful. make math class so interesting and exams are not that hard. She hates giving students F and very cares about u. Take her or u will regret!
She is extrememly disorganized.
As long as grade is good attendance can b loose. She has 2 go fast because there is a lot of info 2 go over. Taking her 4 Calculus now. B prepared 2 go 2 tutoring center. There is a lot of stuff 2 do. Can not emphasize how much info there is in this class. It needs to be broken in half. Prof is completely understanding of this. She is awesome!!!!
PROS: picks tests exactly from review sheet, awesome grader, very sweet lady,assigns hw but dont collect, explains material really well. CONS: couldn't find one. 3 tests and a final (drops lowest). Take her if u can!!
Great teacher, probably one of the best I've ever had. Explains the material very well and cares that everyone understands everything. The hw's arent collected but I advise doing them. She does 2 review sheets before every test make sure you do them a few times. Highly advise taking her if you can.
Professor Wieland is great, possibly the best professor at Bergen.
Professor Wieland is great and teaches the material very well.
she is awesome
she is a great teacher and wants her students to do well in her class.
If you want to do well in Math and love it, she is the one to take. She wants her students do well and succeed as well.
She is the second best math professor. Homework is not mandatory and neither is attendance. She gives in class group quizzes that help with her tests.
Professor Wieland is great.
prof Wieland explains the class very clear.
she's awesome
Professor Wieland is great and knows how to explain the material.
the best math professor
take this professor for precalculus 180 and calculus 280. She's amazing.
she's very helpful and the best thing is that she let us work like group in the quizzes. amazing
this is my second time I take pre calculus. Prof Wieland works very hard and explains the class very well.
prof Wieland wants her students to do well in her class. she's awesome
she's a great professor and she makes sure that everybody understands the material.
she's a great professor
professor Wieland explains the material very well
take professor Wieland for pre calculus and calculus. she's great
excellent professor
Prof Wieland really went out of her way to explain the material to students who didnt understand and really explained the material crystal clear. She is the nicest lady ever and has the cutest laugh!
prof Wieland explains the material very well. she's awesome
the material is so tough but you have to practice a lot to do well in her class. Wieland is great. Take her for precalculus and calculus 280.At least I passed her class with a B+
Had her last semester for pre Calc and now taking her for Calc and I do not regret taking her again. If you don't understand something then tell her and she will explain to you. If I ever need to take a math class and I have an option of having her as my professor I would be in her class without having to think about it.
Best math prof ever! She reminded me that you can love math, crystal clear, dnt take anyone else but her, group work helps you to take in material easily gives reviews three tests fun class
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR! She explains everything perfectly and goes slow so that you can understand it. Homework is not mandatory but i recommend you do it because it helps a lot. She is so sweet and I definitly recommend her.
Best professor ever. She is very clear during lecture and very helpful. Very straight forward exams. Must attend every class or you won't do good because you can easily fall behind. Must do hw ! For subjects like this she made it easy. Take her !!!
She is GREAT! Explains everything you have problems with!Takes attendance but it doesn't influence your grade. Give a lot of homework but it is only for your practice at home, you don't need to show it to her.Loves her job very pleasant person! LOVE her!!!!!
Rachel is the absolute best Math professor I have interacted with at Bergen Community College. She is welcoming, very helpful, very pleasant. She really knows math and she really knows how to teach. She is a rare professor. I want her for my future math classes.
Professor Wieland is the BEST!.... Seriously. If you want to learn Calc hassle free, shes the one to go to. Lectures are crystal clear, and gives reviews before the test (With solutions) which are exactly like the test. Calc 1 is not easy material to learn but she will simplify it to the max. 55
She was very nice woman. Her classes was nice. Her grading is very fair. If you know the subject this was the easiest course I ve ever taken but some people got bad grades. She teaches very nice. You won't have good grades if you never study. she does reviews before tests which are similiar to tests. I would definetly reccomend her.
Wieland's lectures are clear and concise. Show up for class, do the homework, and ask questions and you will do well.
Only a few test all semester 95% of your grade including a final. If you don't study, or practice at least once a day you wont pass. Her packets are amazing. DO THE HOMEWORK and ask her questions on anything you don't get and she'll try and help you as much as possible. its either u fail or pass. no in between. take at your own risk. C-B
Wieland is awesome. She really works hard for the student and is possibly one of the greatest professors at Bergen when it comes to math
She's not a bad professor, she just expects you to know everything, and Im decent at math! She does a good job explaining things and shows you lots of examples, but then you are surprised with hard questions on the test that she never really explained or went over. Regret taking her because now I'm stuck retaking the class again for a better grade.
This was the only class I needed to get out of BCC, and she made it hell for me to even pass one test. She is a nice woman, but the worst professor I've ever taken. She teaches as if you know Calculus and her tests are ridiculously challenging. Took Saltwick after her and got a B+ no thanks to Wieland
She's very challenging. Don't come to class without knowing everything, test are harder then homework assignments. Calc is not hard, as long as you have professor who's not going to make it that way. I wouldn't recommend. one more think. She takes off points on the test of every little tiny tiny error.
She's a fantastic teacher! Explains things really really well. She gives out a lot of homework. If you do all the homework problems, I promise you will be well-prepared for exams. It seems that most people who have trouble in her class procrastinate, or simply lack basic skills in algebra or trig. But she does an excellent job on her part.
Great teacher. I highly recommend you take her. She goes over everything in detail. For intermediate algebra I didn't even need a textbook for her class
Took her for Calc 1. She is quite possibly the best math professor that I have ever met. She gives a lot of homework but those problems are usually on the test. If you want a good professor who actually cares about her students, take her class!
Simply awesome. I really liked her teaching method: everything straight to the point. And you really need to put some serious efforts to do well in class. Never assume that this class is easy just because it is a freshman level math class.
There is really nothing to add to her teaching style. Quizzes are in group and we don't submit until everybody in the group understands how we got to the answer. She has nice jokes.
Prof Wieland is one of those gems you almost never come across in mathematics. Not only is she brilliant in her field, but she's a master at actually teaching the material. She explains concepts in a variety of styles to suit different types of people. Do the homework, ask questions, listen in class and you'll be great. Take her!
I saw so many good reviews about her here and I thought hey she was going to make my life easier with PreCalc and she made it a nightmare instead don't get me wring shes very nice but I dont need for you to be nice I wanted her to teach me and I ended up teaching myself the whole class and failing because she just went way too fast
4 exams: 3 midterms & 1 accumulative Final. (+ some group quizzes) Precal is very Fast-Paced so you don't have much time during the semester. If you want to get straight As, you should do all homework and put much effort on reviews until you fully understand them. Prof. Wieland is nice woman. So just ask her if you really don't know some stuffs.
I failed this class but it was not the fault of Professor Wieland at all. She was so supportive and tried very hard to help me, but due to work stress and an overfull schedule I just could not pass. She made me not feel so bad about it. Her lectures are clear and she answers questions well, me not passing was entirely my fault and not hers.
Homework assignments didnt match up with tests at all. Wasnt clear when answering questions. Dont take this class. She was the worst professor Ive ever had.
awesome professor. she's always checking in after each problem she does to make sure everyone knows what's going on and is happy to go back over it. she's not one of those professors that you get scared to ask questions to. do the homework and study guides before the exams and you'll pass.
I took her for PreCalc she made my life a living nightmare she made an easy class so dam hard for no reason I taught myself alot of the material. I went up to her so many times for help and just rejected me whoever rates her 4.5? is on drugs honestly she makes the exams so hard to pass even if you study 3 weeks in advanced. Overall, save your money
Don't take this professor if you guys want to pass. She's a nice professor, but she teaches everything way too fast! You have to go home & teach yourself how to do a lot of these problems. Also, she's not willing to help outside of class or email. Only time she'll help out is after class for a few minutes. Total 4 exams, reviews she gives suck!
Professor Wieland is an extreme rarity in the teaching world. She genuinely goes out of her way to understand each & every students learning preferences & makes it appoint to adapt the lesson in a manner that is effective for everyone. Unlike most math professors, she wont move on unless students understand & answers all questions with importance
One of the kindest and friendliest professors at Bergen. Genuinely looked forward to attending her classes and she was always willing to help if you ever got stuck on something. Prof. Wieland always tries to help you understand in a way that's easy for you. 10/10 Professor I would recommend taking again and again.
Professor Wieland made Int Algebra & Pre Calc the best classes I have taken. She is very patient and will make sure that students understand the subject. She is really funny and caring. She genuinely wants her students to succeed and always makes me look forward to going to class. Tests are to the point, fair, no surprises, often have extra credit
Professor Wieland is a great math teacher. She is always available to assist you even if the class is in an online setting. Her lectures are very interesting and easy to understand. As long as you do the homework's which she gives extra credit for them you will understand the material.
TAKE HER!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED
She runs her class by pre-recording videos section by section following the textbook. We got about 2/3 assignments a week that would take about an hour of anyones time. Simple class with a great teacher that will respond at all times. I learned a lot her way and wish all teachers did it the same. Sweet and funny professor! Take her for easy A!!
Prof. Wieland is great. The class was not an easy A but if you do the homework you'll have everything you need. There are cases where it's a little confusing and the explanation might not be the easiest to understand, but she's there for you. :)
Lectures were posted on Youtube, not too long. Straightforward, showed examples, tests were very easy and exactly like HW/ her lecture videos. She got back to me fairly quickly VIA email. Always willing to help, is enthusiastic about teaching, one of the best math professors I've ever had. She makes math seem easy.
She's very good at explaining, and she understands that some students are very visual. Goes through everything in detail. Fair grader and replies very fast when needed.
tough class, goes through the material too quickly with very little explaination. you gotta figure all of the work by yourself
She's the kindest professor I've ever met at Bergen. She cares about her students and helps when you're not doing the best in her class. Do not take her hybrid classes; you'll make your life much more difficult! You have to teach yourself most of it, although she does give you important parts of it during class. I recommend taking Calculus online.
Overall, I thought she was pretty great. I really liked her teaching style. Considering I'm not the sharpest with math, I always understood her online video explanations for Algebra concepts. I will definitely be taking her in the future for Calc.
Best math teacher I've ever had. I usually barely pass math with a C or D but I have an A in her class (currently in progress). She lets us come during office hours and work on homework as a group. She gives extra credit and plenty of opportunities to bring your grade up if you're not a good test taker (like me).
Prof Wieland was very kind towards everyone and she really wanted people to understand the material. At first, I was scared of Calculus, but she made me feel comfortable with it. If you show up to her class you will be fine.
She's a very nice professor. She cares about her students, and she has so much energy to teach. I would not take her again because her tests are very hard. My whole class failed her first test, so she gave us a retest and it was a much worse result. I dropped her class after that retest. I think I got a 40 on it.
She is a very sweet woman. She is more than willing to help. HOWEVER, no matter how much help you get, you will eventually run headfirst into the brick wall that are her tests. Let's just put it this way: I went to tutoring five times and all times was asked if I was taking honors math. NEVER AGAIN. Wish people were more honest on here!
Professor Wieland is an amazing professor. She absolutely prioritizes her students and always helps out during exams and class. Just because she is nice doesn't mean you should slack off, put in effort because this is a difficult course. All in all a lovely professor and I'll recommend her to everybody and their mom. 103938/10
She cares. Show up, do the work, and study. You will get an A
She's a great professor. She covers alot each class, but takes time to make sure that everyone understands and sees if anyone is having difficulty. She's always willing to help if you ever don't understand something. Fantastic professor.
Not much to say here. Great person, a wonderful professor, very clear and understandable lectures, homework and practice questions are the ones that mostly end up on the tests, she has a YouTube channel with all the lecture content so you could catch up if you missed anything, or to help you prepare for tests. Definitely one of the best professors.
Had Professor Wieland for two semesters. Amazing. Would take her again. Wish she taught more classes on my major, but honestly I feel like she deserves less need for coffee and more free time. Homework is not mandatory but you will need it for practice. Talkative but far from a distracting way. Would recommend 100%.
Professor Wieland is amazing! She makes the content super clear and is always willing to help. While the class isn't easy, her teaching style and support make it very manageable. I found Unstuck ai and other online resources really helpful for extra practice and studying.
Understands how to simplify complex topics, great analogies and metaphors, and the ability to visualize for students who don't get it right away. Answers all questions and is very caring. Homework not mandatory but good practice. Several great reviews for each exam. Sometimes a bit disorganized (prob due to teaching so many classes).
One of the best professors, and best classes I have even been in. Her knowledge on the material is expert - level. She is incredibly kind and caring. She understands how to help you learn very well. The tests can be a bit challenging but are not difficult if you do the homework! Only con : the analogies could use some work, LOL . Overall 10/10
Best professor ever, made everything make sense, and was laid-back while still teaching everything thoroughly.
Very caring and will respect the amount of work that you put into this class. The textbook is required for the online portion as you will need to do the assignments. They are unlimited and the problems will be similar to the tests including the final. Make sure you do the work and you will pass.
I took calcu
I have to be honest about her teaching. She moves and talks way to fast and she's really messy. If you want to take notes you won't be able to understand what she's explaining. She doesn't give mandatory homework so it's hard to practice. She barely gives classwork and likes to teach 2 chapters or more in one single class but she's nice.
