She's an okay teacher. Not bad, but not great. I think her pace is a little too fast for me (as well as many others), but she's pretty clear. She's not really the kind of teacher that stops for questions though. You have to get things on your own.

I have taken sixty units at Delta, and I only dropped two classes during that time; this was one of them. What made this class difficult was that the teacher does not follow the book guidelines. Example: She would present a formula that she made up herself that could not be found in the book, which is bad if you are reviewing for a test. Goodluck.

This professor is the worst professor I have ever gotten. She is highly unorganized, her tests are not the same as the homework given, she is terrible at teaching. She didn't give our class a syllabus until about 2 weeks into the class and didn't bother explaining ANYTHING, she also does not have study guides for her tests.

Class is Fast. Lots of HW but not impossible because she opens up several items at once so, you can get ahead. HW are locked bc you first must watch the lecture videos which are not long (the longest was 5 min or so). Quizzes, tests and the final are all timed but you get plenty of time to finish. Good class overall, I recommend this prof.

I took Professor Tripps online class and it was horrendous. The access code you purchase for her class doesnt work sometimes and then she puts you into group projects which are very hard to do considering the class is all online. To top it all off she does an in person final which is absurd considering the whole semester is online.

In all honesty, professor Tripp was a pretty good professor. I failed her class because I didnt try hard enough on the exams, but honestly, she made the material easy to understand. She did a good job teaching us, I, however, slacked off. Her grading was fair, I just shouldve done a better job of staying on top of studying and understanding.

If you're taking her for Math 38b, get ready to really teach yourself the material. It's really not that hard as long as you follow the textbook and actually take notes. The class will be a breeze. She doesn't really tell you what to do, but you can always contact her for help if you need it. The easiest A I have ever received, so I recommend!

Math 38B was a pretty decent class with Tripp online. It wasn't that hard but she doesn't actually do much as a professor. She is willing to help if you ask. As long as you read the text book and do the webassign work then you'll probably get an A. Just be prepared to teach yourself most things.

Tripp for stats is amazing. She has great lectures, the homework is pretty heavy though. With the program she uses, MyLab, the homework can be a bit finicky at times, but Tripp is very understanding in this regard. PLEASE do get a graphing calculator as it will make your life so much easier. I made this mistake and it was a terrible experience.

This course will be extremely difficult if you haven't taken math classes in the past year. You will not understand the videos without the concepts fresh in your mind. Basically, you teach yourself everything. but without the concepts fresh in your mind, you will have to start from scratch. Also, the course is fast-paced and the prof is a ghost

The majority of the time, we are teaching ourselves the course with the lectures videos, and e-text that isn't by her, and even if we attend class, she's regurgitating the same information we learned prior but in an almost unorganized and boring way.

Prof Tripp is a great person but an okay professor. Definitely would not recommend taking her if math is already a struggle for you as her teaching is more straight out of the textbook style which is not really helpful. Tutoring will definitely be needed for this class if math is already a struggle for you. She is also super passive aggressive.

No guidance, students are perplexed as she hastily solves problems on the board. Concepts are unclear, assumptions are made about prior knowledge, and frustration ensues.

If you struggle with math, she may not be the professor for you. I personally was able to keep up with her pace because I already like math, but I did see a lot of people struggle to keep up and she did not really care to accommodate to them.

While the professor is a nice person, their teaching style is not the best fit for this course. The lessons can feel disjointed, and you'll likely need to rely on outside resources like Unstuck AI and YouTube to fully grasp the material.

Would not recommend taking a class with this professor. After a life-altering medical situation, I requested an extension on an exam and provided sufficient reasoning. After, she asked me "why", and pressured me into disclosing my personal medical situation. She then threatened to dock my score. I dropped her class immediately and chose a W.

This class wasn't too bad, if you already have a background in stats this class will be fairly easy for you. On the other hand if you don't, I don't recommend taking this class with Prof. Tripp. She uses a pen and paper to project on the screen and her hand writing is very messy. Take this class if you want to teach yourself.
