Always says things more then once so you get thepoint, very kind and helpful
I would highly advise to take her, because she does her job as a teacher
Rene is a great instructor...you can tell that she cares about her students.
Very good and helpful professor. She is in charge of the MARC, where you can go ask for help. Of course not anyone can be responsible of such a post, unless they're excellent, which is just what Rene is.
She is so much fun to take a class with! She talks fast, but is an excellent teacher. Take her for any class.
Rene is one of the best prof's i've had!!! She is sooo smart and helpful. Her homework is extra credit...a plus! Just study all the those study problems for the test, and study all the tests for the final and u'll be fine! For the fellas, she's hot too!!!
Great teacher! She explains everything quickly but clearly too. A great person as well. She is fair and is always willing to help her students. She is not an extremely easy teacher, but she teaches her subject well. Strongly recommend.
Best math teacher I ever had! She is smart, no nonsense, and always clear. Take her for math if you have trouble because she really makes you understand.
She is a great instructor. I really like the review sheets she gives out right before the exams, if you keep up with your work, do the review sheets and don't miss class. You'll be ok. She makes the material easy to understand and uses great examples.
Rene is a great professor! She's energetic and is able to motivate you. She explains things clearly and will go over things several times to make sure you understand. The last comment was probably bitter about something.
the worst math teacher, not that i did bad in her class, if you dont understand something gud luck cause she wont go over it, she misses classes and screws us for it, goes over material too fast, and gets anal wen she cant do sumthing right,not recomended
i think rene is great at teaching she is willing to go the extra mile for her students she is very knowledgeable with the material she makes class time fly she is full of energy
nice as hell, extremely hott, let's see, oh yeah, and she can teach extremely good. I went in the other day to ask a calculus question, and she was very nice and helped me, she rocks. If only she wasn't going to get married soon, lol.
Rene'is the best! I used to hate math till I took her last Spring Semester and now Summer. She is full of energy and her enthusiam gets you motivated to learn. I recommend her 100%
I took Rene for two math classes because I love her teaching style. She makes everything understanable for everyone. Very organized with everything. I would recomend her to anyone who is having problems with math. A+++++
She is very friendly and helpful. even though she explains very fast but you will get it. And she is willing to help students. Homework is extra credit. so work hard! As long as you try you will get a good grade in the class.
Rene is a very good teacher. She explains things very well. She also uses different colored pens in her lectures. (actually helps a lot) The hw is all due on each exam day. Only problem is shes kinda psycho and yells and stomps her feet a lot. (really)
Great teacher, patient and helpful. She makes learning math easy by explaining each step unlike some of her colleagues.
GREAT!
Very good teacher. Loves to teach Math and it shows. She'll make you laugh sometimes because she gets so passionate about the subject. Highly recommended. She's easy on the eyes as well.
She seriously does get a little crazy occasionally. If you do all the hw and ec you can have a very good chance in getting a good grade. She drops a test if you do better on the final than your worst test. Her final is very easy because all the problems similar to the ones from the past exams.
(I know you are reading this) She is one of the best professors that I have had at Mt SAC She explains everything very well, and easily. Her test are almost the same as the review sheet she gives before the test. Additionally, she is mad funny. I laughed almost everyday in that class. Be sure to ask her for help with calculators, she loves them.
An exceptionally good teacher. Her teaching style is exceptionally clear, and she herself is very articulate. Prior to her class, I was convinced I couldn't pass mathematics. However, due to her teaching, I passed the class with an A. As long as you go to the class, pay attention, and do the reviews, you will be able to pass her class. Recommended.
Great math teacher with a passion for teaching. I got an A in both Math 71 and Math 51 with her. I wish there were more math teachers like her! She offers extra credit in the MARC which you will probably need. Great sense of humor and yes, she is hot! The Mt SAC Math Dept should take notes on her teaching method since the flounder rate is so high!
NEVER IN Y WILDEST DREAMS WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT I COULD GET ANYTHING MORE THAN A "C OR BELOW" IN ALGEBRA. I DREADED HAVING TO TAKE THESE CLASSES, I ALWAYS FELT AS IF I WERE GOING TO CRY WHILE IN CLASS, THAN CAME MS. LOYD! WOW! SHE IS THE BOMB TEACHER & LOVE MATH...OF ANY KIND. I GOT A "B" & SHE IS HELPING ME BELIEVE I CAN DO BETTER.
GREAT!!!!
go figure....Hot teacher....no joke, and she is very clear.
She's fast and furious, but if you are taking this math course, you should be able to absorb it that fast, too. But don't worry, she'll take extra time with you and slow down in her office hours.
She looks alot like Katie Holmes. But she is a great Math teacher. She is very helpful. She pleads for students to go to her office hours for math help. She is awesome.
she is very helpful and clear, however she talks too much she tells everything twice in the lecture. i really like her review sheets that help the students a lot. take her she is really good
At last she's back fm long leave. Her baby is almost a year old now. She's not as super as b4 bcoz of her baby, but she's tryin to adjust to the demands of teaching and being a mother. I'm happy I waited 4 her 2b back. Enjoyed her class. Helpful, clear, review sheet n extra credit. She's my No.1 Wished she teach in Math 110... too bad
I LOVE LOVE THIS TEACHER. I HAVE NEVER LOVED MATH SO MUCH AFTER TAKING HER.VERY EASY AS LONG AS YOU ATTEND HER LECTURES. GIVES A LOT OF DETAILED EXAMPLES. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING CLEARLY. FUNNY,SEXY AND SHE REMINDS ME OF JENNIFER ANISTON. SHE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU COME TO CLASS LATE AS LONG AS YOU ARE DOING GOOD. A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT ON EXAMS AND MARC.
Are we talking about the same teacher!?!? This lady was HORRIBLE! She is barely coherent! Very scatterbrained, RUDE, abrasive and her crazy personality is distracting of the subject matter! Guys, yes, she is smokin', but it's not worth it if you want to pass!
She is the best teacher in the world! If I had the chance for her to be my teacher for every math class that I have to take, she would. She is very helpful, nice, easy as long as you come to her lectures, funny, and most of all she make math interesting so you will want to learn more. She has a wonderful personallity. "SHE IS THE BEST"
took her again for trig even though i didn't need the class,so what? her teaching skills makes me wanna major in math.trig's a little challenging ,maybe coz of friday only class but as usual all her lecturing made the class easy.E.C.is a +. still very helpful. have passion and in fashion when teaching.
She's a great teacher! She does teach fast but she does an amazing job explaining everything. Im horrible at math but the way she teaches just makes sense to me. No homework grade is all tests. She is getting a little crazy in the head BUT she can still teach! Probably one of the best math professors here, TAKE HER!
I took her when she first found out she was pregnant and let me tell you it was the worse class I've ever taken. She goes over the material extremely quick, if you don't understand it the first time then good luck. The first day of class the first thing she told us was "I don't expect you guys to pass this class,considering 80% of my students dont"
She's stark raving mad people. Take her at own peril.
"She's stark raving mad"? I was in the same class and I thought she was great. In fact, she is probably my favorite teacher of all 2 and a half years of college. She has so much on her plate but she still helps if you need it. Just for you! She also gives review sheets and pretty much specifies what's going to be on the exam.
If you are not good in math, she is the one you want to take. I thought I would never get anything higher than barely a "C". I took her class and got an "A". She is clear, uses studyguides, reviews one day prior to tests. Highly recommend her for anyone who struggles in math. Best on campus...Would like to take her for all math classes.
she dedicates time to help you, "office hours". You will never have a professor that cares this much about your learning. Just show her you are there to learn and she will help you as much as she can.
Best teacher ever!! I am horrible at math and got an A in all three semesters i have tooken with her. She is very clear what is going to be on the test and reviews a lot before test days. She offers help when you need it. Very nice lady and has a great bubbly personality! highly reccommend!!!!
She is a GREAT teacher!! I love her teaching style. She got me through it.. If math isnt your thing take her its worth it.
great prof. for College Algebra~~~~
She is extremely easy! almost 95% of her math 130 class got As! I don't know why there are some students who do not like her and put bad comments. Seriously guys, even my friend who don't like math can pass her class with an A. I did not even put effort at all in this 4 unit class, but I still had over 100% in the class.Take her! u won't regret it.
Great professor who really knows her stuff and even better knows how to convey it to the students in a manner for everyone to understand. You have to stay on top of your work but as long as you do and attend class you should do well. Heck she even talked me into taking Math 140
Took her in the fall. Lectures are crystal clear. Gives you a review sheet for each test and assesments, and those similar problems are on the actual test and assesments unlike some teachers who give crazy problems. Very helpful and wonderful personality. highly recommended.
Best math professor ever. :] Take her!
Rene Rocks! She is one of the few awesome Math professors at Mt. Sac. If you pay attention and attend class regularly, you'll do great. She's extremely helpful and has students that take all her classes as they move up the ladder. TAKE HER!
Great professor. Beware, though. She's very high energy and talks fast. Rene, lay off the caffeine! But she's very clear, will explain so you can get it. Makes it very easy to do well in the class. Just do your homework and use the study guides. She doesn't want you to fail! Take her! One of the best math profs at sac!
I Had her for Math 51 she was a great teacher and extremely helpful.she is a teacher you can go to for help and teaches well n take all the notes she writes and do homework n understand the material and you are good as a crystal. Doing the homewrk helps to understand the material and asking questions during class also =)
She cares about her students and helps them to succeed. She is a great teacher.
Professor Lloyd is the best math professor I have ever taken. I have taken alot of math classes and classes for that matter at mt sac and she is in the top 3 of the best professors I have ever had. She is clear in what she wants for her students. HW was due every other week and she gives more assignments than what she gives credit for so it was ext
Rene is the absolute best math professor I have EVER had. She explains EVERYTHING 10 times over and then once more to make sure you got it. She will answer any question you have and take the time to explain anything. She talks really fast but repeats everything. Very nice. Very helpful. Very Very good teacher. If you need help take her.
The best math teacher I ever had. She wants you to pass and cares about all her students. Just do the Hw and Study guides and you will pass. Math is my worst subject but she makes it possible to pass.
This professor was by far the best i've ever had. She answers all questions you have and will work with you one on one. And she has doesn't care if you have our cell phone or iPod out. i would definitely take her again. I loved her!
I thought I did not like math. I was wrong. GREAT Instructor.
Really helpful! She's sooo nice! She will help you if you don't understand the problems. She teaches clear and show how to solve the problems step by step! I recommend her :)
the best of the best, just take her and you will see that she takes time and effort to help you understand everything!she is MORE THAN GREAT!
I have taken loyd from math 50, 51, 71 and I have always been bad in math she made become a f average to an A average. very easy clear she can go a litttle fast but is very understandable. she is the best math teacher I know I can not wait to take her this semester for math 130
This is my second year in college and I have not gotten an A until I got this class!! She doesn't have profession in Psychology but she has it in her because she knows how to help her students and most importantly, she UNDERSTANDS the simply and big things in life. If you do not get her, then you lost the chance of getting an A and meeting her.
I can't express how much she has helped me and made me not only understand math, (which was a subject I always struggled with) but made me kinda like it. She made it possible for me to transfer to a 4yr. Take this woman especially if you have a learning disability.
Words cannot describe how Rene helps you in this class. She by far the best math professor at mtsac. I have taken her for Math 50, 51, 71 and now 130 and have gotten all A's. She help me from a D average in H.S.to an A average in math. She goes fast but she makes the material that is hard easy by her using step by step method, awesome teacher!!!!
Took Loyd for Math 71 and she was incredible. She's good at teaching and she's easy to understand even though she may speak fast. By the end of the semester you'll get used to her. I'm planning to take her again for 130 in the fall.
She talks really really really fast. take her in the fall or spring semester. it is easier. Take it in the shorter semester, it's harder. She tends to rush it in the shorter semester! So if you dont understand her, go to her office hours and she will try and slow down a little to help you understand the concept. =)
I understood mostly everything she was saying but couldnt master the subject sufficiently. Shes a good teacher for the mathematically inclined and the best math teacher I've ever had. She shone a light on the subject.I do understand it better as a result of her lectures even though I sometimes thought my brain was going to suffer a meltdown.
She is a great professor, for classes 130 & below. I took her for 140 & the combination of her fast speaking and a new subject caused me much trouble. Thankfully, I passed, but I think I would have done better, if I took a professor who spoke much slower. overall,if it was not for her willingness to help me after class, I would not have passed!
YOU WANT THIS PROFESSOR! Had her for 71 and 130, truly the best math teacher I have ever had. If she asks a question out loud in class she is looking for an answer even if it is like what is 2+2... trying to convince her to teach 180. gives hw but not too much. just know the study guide and you will do well on the tests! YOU WANT THIS PROFESSOR!
TAKE HER!! She talks fast but for some reason it helps. I hate math, but with Rene you learn. She is super cool, always willing to help and gives extra credit.
A very fair teacher! No tricks, gives great study guides. Enjoyed the class. She talks fast, however she isn't difficult to understand. Reviews the most important concepts. Explains stuff well. Definetly recommend her.
I'm writing this to express my sincere gratitude for her. Her willingness to help her students and approachability were attributes that are very difficult to come across in a college setting.I looked forward to coming to her lectures every time because of her enthusiasm and insight when teaching math.
She talks nonstop. VERY attractive. She's considerate about adding people because even after getting in trouble for adding 20 extra students, she still does it today. I had a crush on her for awhile. I recommend this teacher to everyone!
Took her for winter session and she was great! Talks really fast but I think that's what keeps the class from getting dull, seeing as math isn't all that interesting. I wish she was teaching 71 this spring, but she is teaching it in the fall. Anyone who get's the chance should take her!
She speaks really fast, that kinda threw me off on the first day of class but you get used to it. Nice teacher, good on grading. Workload is spaced on a good rate, not alot of problems. She also reviews before each test. Plus she gives extra credit
Most caring teacher ever! She really cares for her students and how the math applies to the real world. She is extra helpful and explains everything clear and concise. She will show you all the formulas and tell you which ones are most helpful. Of you're looking for an easy way to understand math 71 take her.
I had her over 8 years ago, for Calculus and she still remembers me. She's a very good teacher, patient, willing to work with you until you understand. I'm forever grateful to Rene for all that she's done for me. If she's teaching a math class, take her!
Great Professor! I am HORRIBLE in math, and passed this class with an A. She does talk very fast, but after a while you will get use to it and understand her better. She also gives reviews before tests which basically is a copy of the test except different numbers. Highly recommend taking her!
AMAZING professor!! Take her and you will not regret it! Amazingly clear, patient, and really wants her students to succeed. I could not recommend her more!
GREAT PROFESSOR !!! She speaks very fast and is a little crazy but she is an amazing teacher. Sit in the front of the class, pay attention, do your homework and you will pass her class with an A+. Excellent teacher. I would love to have her be my professor for every math class I take.
She does talk very fast but teaches in a very clear manner. She gives multiple opportunities for xtra credit and is extremely generous with her grading.
i really recomend this teacher. she is super easy and very helpful. Only little bad thing about her is that she talks to much and a little fast but it wont hurt your learning. I recived an A in her math 50 class. She really takes the time so you can understand the material.
Great teacher. She does talk very quickly, but she repeats everything two to three times. I learned a lot from her. Shes also super hot. If she wasnt married id be all over her.
Great teacher very fair with grading. She She knows how to break it down and makes math fun to learn.
se is very helpful and very clear when she teaches. She talks a little to fast but easy to learn. She grades fairly for everyone in he class. I love her class the atmosphere is great recommend her.
Professor Loyd's class was very easy. Her teaching method is concise and straight-forward, and she is incredibly helpful. She tends to check tests as soon as you drop them off and she allows you to fix any test problems that you may have gotten wrong. Very reasonable, fair, and funny.
really good teacher recommend for anyone easy A if u pay attention
I don't know what to say.. I hate to admit, but I love her lol. She's simply the best professor I will ever have. VERY CLEAR and extremely fair, the way evert math professor should be. Prof. Loyd Ur a BLESSING!
Best professor ever. I even wrote my WPE (writing exam in order to graduate college) on how she deserves the teacher of the year award. I passed the WPE with by the positive examples I used about her haha.
She is really helpful. A little all over the place. easy to learn from. Test are a little tough but she gives you partial credit if you try. Did I mention she is super Hot. Take her.
I LOVE YOU Prof. Loyd!! I did not like math and because of her I might change majors. Absolutely, positively the best professor EVER. She makes my heart skip a beat. OBSESSED! Lol.
Honestly, I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Rene. She is seriously AMAZING the way she teaches her class. It's very easy to comprehend what she is teaching you. I have her for Pathways, which is 8 weeks rather 16, & I understand everything just fine. If math is a hard topic for you TAKE HER CLASS! I COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A BETTER TEACHER! WON'T REGRET IT!
Professor Loyd is the BEST!! BEST professor I have ever taken! Not only in math but overall. She is super helpful, kind, easy to understand & always makes sure that you are understanding everything! I took her for Math 50 & passed with an A+ & I am currently taking her in the Pathways program for Math 51 & Math 71. Take her!! You'll love her!!!
She talks really fast and tends to get off topic, but shes makes learning math enjoyable. I recommend taking her!
Amazing prof covers evrythng fast enough 2 keep up covers diff methods (so any1 can understand in their own way) starts from basics, barely any hwk, I used the books at the MARC. 2 tests, 1 final. Provided worksheets & study guides & that was what was on the test. No surprises made math very fun. She wants people to pass. Took 50, 51, 71 with her.
Professor Loyd is an amazing teacher in the math department. She makes everything clear and easy to understand all you got to do is pay attention and write everything she writes. She gives extra credit, respects her students, and helps you if you have any questions. I took her for Math 50, 51, and 71 with her so she is a for sure good teacher.
Professor Loyd is amazing!! She is a fast talker but she repeats things over and over so you cant miss anything. I learned a lot from her very detailed on the things she was explaining! I took her for Math 50,51 and 71. Cant wait to take her again for math 150 .
Let me start off by saying that in high school, I had to repeat Algebra 1 twice, Geometry twice and plain quit Algebra 2. Rene keeps you alert throughout her entire lecture. She is easy to understand and teaches direct laws that allow all problems to seem so east. This is not to say that you don't have to pay attention, you do. She is helpful!
Amazing teacher! She is very animated and sometimes ventures off of math but i really enjoyed her teaching style, it is simple and to the point. LOTS OF BONUS POINT OPPORTUNITIES,so if you start out really bad dont drop she also drops the lowest exam and replaces with final
First let me start off by saying if it was not for rene, I would not be going to a cal state right after mt sac. I took math 50,51,71 with other teachers and failed them all at LEAST once. I took rene for all 3 math classes and passed all classes with a B! She is VERY inspirational, helpful, and CLEAR! Miss loyd changed my life!
Prof, Rene is one of Mt Sac"s BEST INSTRUCTOR! She is EASY take HER you won"t regret it . She is helpfull & real fun all you do is work out of packets (You don"t need the book) No quizes , You get extra points if you do MARC HOURS , Rene goes off topic alot but she repeats herself alot so don"t worry! JUST GO AND TAKE HER CLASS (:
Failed classes twice before I took her. She saved my GPA. She is very flexible, chill, and easy. All you have to do is use the study guide. Guaranteed you will pass with an A. You have study. I hate math but she made it so easy to remember.
Homework is turned in on exam day. Gives MARC extra credit points. NO quizzes, 3 exams and the final. exam questions are based off the reviews in class. BEST professor on campus hands down! She's dyslexic, super funny and hot! She does go off topic alot but that's what makes the class more entertaining. Ps, don't call her "ma'am!"
The best math professor on the entire Mt. SAC campus. She explains and teaches math at an approachable and educating way for any student to understand. Great personality, extremely helpful and gorgeous to look at. I took her for Math 50, 51, 71, and 130 and received all A's from her because I payed attention in lecture and studied the handouts!!!
Rene is smart, fair, caring and extremely beautiful. Very generous when it comes to her grading criteria. Gives A's like candy. If you cannot earn an A,then maybe you are the problem.
She's a great math professor. She's funny and gets off topic in the lectures. People will find that annoying. This class was not as hard as I thought. What teacher gives you extra credit for going to the TMARC? She does! Go do all the hours at the TMARC it will help you to pass, study for the exams. Trig is not easy but she makes it easy!
She is a really good teacher. I took her for Math 51 and I got an A. She was so helpful.
Very good prof, she talks very quickly but goes over old material so its not that bad. Homework is a lot but its easy, it is just a lot of problem solving. Don't take her three hour long class, that was horrible and I actually like math... But over all the class is easy if get along with math pretty well.
Loyd is simply amazing. She will change your way of thinking when it comes to math and makes the most difficult problems not seem that difficult. I would definitely recommend taking her if you can however almost always her classes fill up in minutes and people never drop out of her class. Lastly, she is one of the best professors that Mt. Sac has.
I took her Math 71 course during the winter session and she exceeded my expectations. She is an exceptional professor whose main focus is her students and their learning experiences. I love her, she is the best and has the kindest heart. You should definitely take her if you can!!!
Hands down, Professor Loyd is one of the best professors I have ever taken.
Rene is amazing!! I took her for Math 71 in the winter and she makes it seem not that hard. She didn't give much homework and her tests come straight from her handouts. No surprises with her. I suck at math and I got an A, but I also worked my butt off. I'm going to try and take her for my last 2 math classes. Definitely recommend her!!!
Professor Loyd is an awesome teacher! She gets off topic at the beginning of class. Doesn't like for students to chat while she lectures(understandable) she gives ALOT of extra credit. Drops your lowest exam. Makes math easy to understand. Take her!
Professor Loyd is high energy and very confident in her lectures, clear, and intelligent. I have never experienced a female math instructor like her, and that inspired and encouraged me. She is reasonable, understandable, supportive, funny, caring, and smart. You will be properly prepared to move on; A must take. Thank you professor Loyd!!!!!
Professor Loyd changed my life! She inspired me to become a College Math professor! I have always liked math, but she made me love it more!! If you take her, you won't regret it! She talks fast but explains topics thoroughly so you'll understand! Keeps you interested! I took her for Math 50, 51, 71 and 150 and passed all with an A+. She is AWESOME!
Great! Friendly! Cares! Best math teacher!! Clear lectures! Wants us to succeed! High energy and very personable. A lot of material, but she gives clear lectures so it's very understandable. Fun class! You end the semester wanting to hang out and be friends with her! great person! Thank you for your awesomeness!
She is AMAZING! Her teaching style is simple, organized, and not boring (which is good) The homework was a good amount of work to help out for the exams. She'll give you a packet of notes each section which was amazing and helpful. Study guides are easy also long as you understand the lecture. Exams were easy. Overall I really enjoyed her class!!
Rene has got to be the best math teacher at Mt. SAC! I've got a long history of hating math, and Rene made me love it. She works problems forwards and backwards so students understand every part of how the math works. She gives partial credit on tests, and tests are reasonable difficulty and length. 15/10 for Rene!
Rene is amazing! She is clear, precise, and goes step by step through a multiple times. She had clear and reasonable expectations of the class, graded fairly, and was extremely supportive. She talks fast, so keeping up with her might be tough, but she repeats everything and will help after class or in her office if asked. She's just wonderful.
Ever want a professor that made the exam similar to the study guide? Well, here see is, her study guide is basically the exam and final exam. The only thing that would be different is obviously the # are different. Also, her homework is simple, she does not make you do every single problem. Follow the study guide and you will pass! Con: talkative
Honestly she is one of the best professors I ever had for Math. She is very passionate about what she does and does go clear on her lectures. She explains really great I personality think, she is very flexible about turning in your work also and is accessible outside of class if you need her at certain times.
If you go to her class, pay attention, do her packets, and go to the tutoring center when needed or just to get hours you'll pass her class with an A. Make sure to go over the packets she gives you because that is her study guide for the test. It is not difficult.
She is very passionate about what she does and does go clear on her lectures. She explains really great I personality think, she is very flexible about turning in your work also and is accessible outside of class if you need her at certain times.
Shes very clear on leactures! Three exams, and homeworks are due on exam day. Do and study all the things she gives to you, you will be fine! Great professor!!
The best professor in Math. Math was my number one enemy until I took her class. She teaches in details and delivers what you need to know to remember. Amazing how I was able to finally solve all that seemed impossible for me to solve before I took her class. Her way of teaching is very effective. You will learn! Take her class!
TALKS FAST. you can tell shes passionate about her job and she expects everyone from Math 71 & up to know your math well or she'll get frustrated & skip something bc we should already know it. Notes on handout, easy tests, clear about what she wants. If you're slower at math and like explanations, I do NOT recommend her. Luckily I was good at math.
Rene is the absolute best! I entered this class after dropping 71 previously because receiving Ds and Fs on all tests, and I immediately began getting As in her class. Her study packets make studying easy and effective. Tells you exactly what will be on a test. Lots of extra credit. Talks fast and loud, but repeats important things many times.
Professor Loyd is the best of the best honestly,I was afraid of taking this class but she is so good that explains everything in depth detail I wish, I would be able to take her for all my math classes she gives you plenty of handouts to practice the test are base on the handouts no surprise practice them do homework you will pass time to turn hwr
Professor Rene is a great teacher. Her lectures are amazing (:
She was very understanding and told you how to prepare for the tests. Gives great extra credit opportunities. Teaches everything thourougly. Would recommend her 100%. Creates a comfortable learning atmosphere. Difficult to fail. Just review notes and do homework (doesnt give much).
SHE IS A AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!! I should have taken her for every math class I took in the past. She wants her students to pass her class and not fail. And she helps those that are falling behind. really inspirational. She sometimes shows up to class late. Would recommend it to everyone.
Professor Loyd is the best instructor at Mt SAC. She genuinely cares about each of her students success. She goes the extra mile like no one else does. I cant say enough about how fantastic she is. If you struggle in Math, take her class. She makes it fun & interesting, and explains everything so well & in perfect order. Really thankful for her. :)
I've taken Rene since Math 51, and she remains the only teacher who explains math in a way I can understand. She goes through every step, forwards and backwards. Lots of partial credit on tests. Genuinely wants you to pass and understand. Talks fast and loudly, but she repeats important things multiple times. Class was always fun.
She's great in teaching a lot of people understood her well, extra credit on lab hours, practice the math pocket she gives and you will get an A, less home homework so you can study more. Get this professor and you will get and A.
I highly recommend professor Loyd best professor in the entire department she cares about their students and makes sure you understand the material her review sheets are the same ones as the tests take her you won't regret it if you struggle in math like I do you would end up loving math I took her in the winter 2test/final/not a lot of homework
I took her for every math class and she is AMAZING! She cares so much about her students and does anything she can to help you pass. I would not take another math teacher ever! I'm horrible at math but you would never know that cause she really made me understand the hardest problems! Lots of points she gives out, and extra credit! She is my hero!
AMAZING! CARING! UNDERSTANDING! PASSIONATE! THEE absolute best math teacher ever! She does everything possible for you to pass. She talks fast but she repeats everything so her pace wont even bother you. She is just so passionate about what she does and really cares about her students. Truly inspiring teacher who provides you with amazing lectures!
I hate math, so I was nervous when I took this class. Professor Loyd is amazing, she cares about her students and does whatever it takes to see us succeed. I was having a rough semester, but she was there every step of the way. I recommend this professor, she always there for her students and gives out study guides! Thank you professor
Professor Loyd is one of the best teachers at Mt. Sac. She cares about how her students do in her class. Always gives great feedback and does give extra credit. She is not an easy teacher because she gives easy work, she is an easily teacher because she is approachable and her teaching technique is easy enough for a beginner to understand. <3 her
She's a great professor and cares about her students. She is very flexible with late assignments and does give a bit of homework but gives you more than enough time to complete it. You don't have to show up but you'll be lost for sure if you don't. She covers a lot in every class. Definitely take her if you struggle with math, she's very helpful.
Haven't taken algebra since junior high. Was very worried but I'm so glad I got into her class. She is a wonderful teacher. Makes it easier to understand and now I actually am enjoying math and looking forward to Future math classes. Class is exciting, not boring, activities given for practice. Absolutely love her style of teaching.
Loyd is an angel, I started my math journey from math 49 (the second lowest math) She really made me excited for math class. I actually understood it now. I truly appreciate her. thank u rene (:
Professor Loyd is one of the best. She's very energetic and it made her lectures interesting. Homework was easygoing and due on exam days. There are three homework assignments and three exams in total, and she gives good study guides before each exam. She truly cares and sweats blood for her students and I would highly recommend taking her! :)
Rene single handedly saved me and my sister from getting stuck in Cs and Ds in Mt. SAC's quagmire of a math department. She talks fast, but she repeats herself, so you will catch anything you missed. And she CARES if you understand the material. Take notes and ask questions! And bring her a warm tea sometime, cuz she needs it<3 Love ya, Rene!
Loyd is one of the best professors I have ever have. She cares for her students success and I recommend people to take her. The class consists of 3 homework assignments, and 3 tests. She gives extra credit by going to tutoring and on the test themselves! I have struggled in math most of my life, but Loyd really helped me get a good grade. TAKE HER!
I was taking basic college algebra and she starts assigning pre calc work in the homework and the tests. When she is lecturing she is all over the place and makes things so confusing, not to mention she talks so fast. Dont take her unless you want work at a higher level than what you signed up for
An amazing professor with an amazing attitude. Cares about the well-being of her students and is incredibly understanding. I wish I could take her for all my math classes.
Professor Loyd is a god sent gift in the form of a math teacher! In her winter term class and it was made up of lecture notes and two tests to turn in. Lecture notes are easy A's, just take notes and turn them in. Her midterm and final are straight forward as well and she gives problems that are very similar to what is on her tests. Great teacher!
Professor Loyd is hands-down the best Math teacher that I have ever had.
She's very amazing teacher i had ever! She had been explain very clarity and the details throughout a lot of math problem solving. If you don't understand it, you can ask her, and she always explain again to process the details for solving the problem, and labels where would help you to understand easily. Worth it! Take her class
Hands down, a true gem!! Ms. Rene is very empathetic, caring, and approachable through email or office hours. She will not mind going through sections again if anyone is having trouble.
She is the best math professor I ever had. I definitely, will take another class with her.
Professor Loyd is my favorite professor on campus, she made me lose my fear of math. I took her for 71 & for 130 and passed both classes with an A+ She does an excellent job of explaining problems. Her study guides are just like the exams and she allows you to use them as well. Thank you so much Professor!
Extremely helpful teacher, attendance not mandatory and she sends replays about her lectures. All homework questions are covered in class. 2 Tests, midterm, and final. Both are given in PDF and give you a generous time limit. (about 6 hours) The test only takes about 2 hours. 16 questions, super easy.
Honestly, one of the best professors I have ever had. She gave me her time and attention, which meant so much to me, as I have a very hard time understanding math. She helped me understand and learn so much more in math than I ever thought I could! She helped boost my self-esteem, and I cannot thank her enough!
Rene does homework with you in class, all you have to do is copy and turn it in. Her tests are exactly like the homework problems she even gives study guides on where you can find the problem (ex: #2 from chapter 2 hw). She's understanding of attendance, and does her best to help. She is okay with group me chats for tests and homework.
Professor Rene is honestly an amazing teacher . She really takes the time to explain each step in a problem, and really tries her hardest to help you understand the material. I definitely recommend taking her class !!
She is unbelievably caring and fair. Her lectures are easy to understand, she's good at explaining equations and why they work a certain way. She knows to teach something similar to the test rather than coming up with versions of equations that were never taught. She's it for anyone who struggles with math. Not a lot of homework just few questions.
Her class is really easy. You do not have to attend since she records all the sessions. Exams are exactly what we saw in class. She is really good at teaching and understanding with students. I wish I could take her for all my math classes.
If you struggle with math like me, I highly recommend Professor Lloyd to you. I wish I could take her again for business calculus. She breaks everything down so well. Just be sure to pay attention during lecture and you will pass.
I took Ms. Rene for a 6 week winter session and it was an amazing experience. If you just watch all of her lectures, you will get an A. The exams are based on the homework that is assigned; there are no curveballs. She explains everything thoroughly and makes everything easy to grasp. Best math teacher I've ever had by a long shot. Take her!
I enjoyed the class. Math has never been my strongest area, but Professor Loyd made it doable for me. She is very caring and understanding. She extends the deadline on homework assignments, and does it over zoom lectures. The midterm and final is also open note. I highly recommend to take her if you need to improve your math skills.
Good professor, Very patient and responded promptly with any math questions
Professor Loyd is out of this world! I have always struggled with math, but she made it super understandable! She is very passionate when teaching, and always shows us what is applicable to the real world. She does hw with you during class, which is very similar to midterm and final. No curve balls! Open notes too. Very flexible with due dates. WOW
Professor Loyd is a fantastic professor! I've taken a few classes with her, and I've never met anyone so understanding and willing to work with all students, even those with specific difficulties. She will work with you if you email or talk to her during office hours. Professor Loyd is compassionate towards her students. I highly recommend her.
She is a very caring professor and wants all of her students to succeed. She gives you the solutions to the homework explains the concepts very well and is always available to help her students. Tests were just like the HW.
Professor Loyd is able to break down complex mathematical concepts with such ease. It's truly incredible how she presents the material in such a cohesive and accessible manner. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance, she is there to help you understand. She properly prepares you for her exams, so no surprises! The best math prof on campus hands down
Very easy to do her classes. Also extremely flexible with due dates on Assignments. One of the best math professors if you have a busy life schedule. Though if you struggle with math, would not recommend to skip classes as her notes are crucial! Exams are easy if you understand the material!
PROS: She is nice and is flexible with assignment dates. Offered extra credit. CONS: Poor teaching style. Speaks so fast that she's difficult to understand. A million words a minute with no pauses. Goes through material so quickly and constantly goes on tangents about unrelated topics. Would not take her again.
Take this class! She understands people have things outside this class and is willing to work with you if you try. She truly cares about her students and their futures. I have always struggled with math but with her I was able to have a better understanding. She shows you step by step how to solve questions even when grading tests.
The most amazing professor. TAKE HER. Took online. She covers almost all HW problems step by step. Im HORRIBLE at math and got an A in her class. Open notes, which includes her study guide. Turn in HW monthly (4 packets), no quizzes, 1 midterm (14 qs), 1 final (12 qs). Easy A
Take her. I love her. She's so amazing and she wants you to pass, she'll understand at home problems and is so sweet! Super easy A and you'll learn as long as you watch the lectures! BEST TEACHER.
One of the best Professors. I recomend her 100%. It's an easy A if you take time to go over her lectures. She usually goes over most HW assignments in her lectures. You can really tell she cares about you and wants you to succed.
Awesome professor! Pretty flexible and open to questions and willing to help you understand!
It was very easy class. She's very caring professor. Try to keep it simple, easy to understand it and never hesitate to ask questions.
If you struggle bus with math like me because you're returning to school after 25 years and you never even took it in high school so you're learning for the first time? This is the teacher that's gonna get you through it, with an A! She gives you every resource to succeed and is available by email 24/7. WATCH HER RECORDED LECTURES!!!
Ms. Rene is amazing, I would totally take her again in the future. I took the 130 + 13 courses, and even though she might talk a little fast, she has no problems going over anything you're having trouble with. I appreciate how much she cares for her students. Don't be surprised by how fast her classes fill up.
The course is simple, the homework is small, and the teacher is very patient in answering students' questions. If you complete the homework on time, you will get the grades you want.
Professor Loyd is AMAZING! Super caring and understanding. She explained everything clearly in pre-recorded Zooms, which helped a lot since I hadn't taken math since 2020. The class was easy to follow, and the midterm and final exams were open notes. She even extended the due dates to help us succeed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HER!!!
One of the best math professors I've ever seen! She is incredibly passionate, even when the class was excused for a 10 min break, she would continue to review any questions students had. (Sometimes going for multiple hours without a break for herself.) She shows up everyday giving 100%, and inspired others to do the same. Thank you Prof. Loyd!
Great professor I highly recommend her to anyone that needs to pass trigonometry.
Professor Loyd is great! She explains everything clearly and in detail, which really helps, especially since the subject can be challenging for students who struggle with calculus. She sometimes goes over homework in class, and the tests are very similar to the study guide. If you show up to lecture and study the study guide well, you'll be good.
