She is a great teacher! Explains everything in detail, very helpful, Most of this class is group work, and she lets you do take home quizzes, and in class homework, which she explains in class. Does many examples in class, really nice!
Great teacher! Sense of humor, explains everything clearly and is very helpful. You cant go wrong w. her in Math 310!
She explains material clearly. Sense of humor. Study all homework problems and notes, it should be at least a B for tests. one of the better math teachers in SCC. By the way, she always takes mondays off to make it a longer weekend.. HA
She's great. She explains Math clearly. This is a great class. Highly recommended
She makes the class fun, by being up beat and excited about the subject while at the same time understanding that we may not have the same interest. She's a great instructer and always willing to help. i think she's an enginearing and stats professor too. you should take her if you have the oppertunity!
Medina is a great teacher. If you need to take Interm. Algebra take her and you will not regret it. I HATE math and now I actually have some respect for it. She is always in a good mood, funny and understanding. TAKE HER!
Her class is always fun, which is pretty amazing considering it's math - if u absolutely hate math, u will probably still have fun in her class, gives partial credit on tests/quizzes
I hate math and still loved this class. She is upbeat, funny, and speaks clearly. The tests are on par with the rest of the department, but she gives outlines and works on them with the class. DO THE ONLINE HOMEWORK: no deadlines to turn it in and the program is actually very helpful. Great class for math lovers and haters alike!
Excellent professor. Nothing can go wrong if you take her classes. It just clicks.
pretty good teacher. acts like math is really fun, which is kind of annoying. very energetic and nice. talks to herself sometimes when she's writing stuff on the board. overall a good teacher

She is the best math teacher i have ever known and had. She makes math fun and exciting. I am taking her math 120 class because she is so good! She is clear and very helpful. She is just great!!!!!!
She grades fair, on time with lessons, nice, easy going, helpful, she does talk to herself, you need to do the online HW if you have it, and you should be fine. You have to show up or you might fall behind, but what class isn't like that. Go to her office hours if you have trouble with anything. Some people in the math lab will confuse you more.
Renee is a wonderful teacher! I was never great at math but because of her teaching style I'm getting an A. Studying helps too of course, just like any college class. She makes math a bit more enjoyable.
She is awesome.
Good teacher, wants you to pass.
She was a wonderful teacher!!!! she wants u to pass her class.. makes it fun.. just need to pay attention and study and everything will be good..
She is the best math teacher I've had in a long time. I actually looked foward to class each day. That's pretty hard for a math class. It's not the easiest math class you'll take, but she will prepare you for the next math class. I highly recommend taking her class for the simple fact she makes you feel comfortable taking her class and learning.
i had math 104 online w/ her. it's different but the math problems are almost exactly the same as the examples so you can see how to do it. and the tests have the same exact problems as the study guide so it's pretty easy to pass the online class. you have 2 chances to pass the quizes & have all week to do the homework.
She's a great teacher. She know's that math isn't for everyone but she makes the class as easy as possible. She wants everyone to pass her class. She speaks clearly, teaches well, grades fairly, and is organized. She gives study guides and if you do your homework and show to class each time, you will pass her class.
Renee is awesome. I took her in the summer, and although you have to work hard, and the pace was fast she was always very helpful. You learn alot and shes fair on grading. Great professor!!
very good teacher minimal homework but every night... gives good notes, always available. if you go to class you will pass with no problems. Would reccommend to any student especially if you are not the best in math.. she breaks everything down as simple as possible.
Took her hybrid course which was helpful. No real written homework except for take home quizzes. Online homework forces you to learn how to do the problems and walks you through it. She gives you every chance to excel with online copies of sample tests -DO THESE. She only cancelled class once so we didn't get behind. She's always willin to help.
Spunky and always willing to help. The tests aren't a surprise because you go over the material many times through homework and quizzez.
One of the best math teachers I've ever had. Helpful. Creative. Made the hard stuff a joy.
Moves at quick pace in order to cover all the essentials, but does a great job of explaining, providing videos, answering student questions. Does a great job balancing lecture, discussion, small group problem-solving, and independent work. Clear, fair grading policy, including ability to drop several lowest assign/quiz scores or make up one exam.
Excellent professor! She is very helpful and fun. Her class provides many different styles of learning and she goes above and beyond to help you learn. Love her! Wish she taught STAT and other math classes. Awesome & funny woman!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. I was terrfied of math before this class. She is clear and helpful. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!
I wish I could've taken her last semester...I took math with Hsaio Wang and failed. Math was always my weakness, but she makes it fun and easy for everyone...she breaks formulas/problems down and make it wayyyy easier for us to understand...take her if you can especially if you're not good at math, you won't regret it :)
The class is a hybrid fyi. The teacher was wonderful, made math easy and passed with a grade i wanted. Last semester i had fasman and she was a horrible teacher and failed. This class the teacher wants u to pass because she drops assignments and quizes. She would give u any oppurtunity to understand and makes it like its hi school again with ease.
awesome teacher. she knows her stuff.
This is all you need to know: Math 120. Hybrid. Go to class and listen. She (Prof. Medina) makes the rest a piece of cake... and she might just get you thinking about Math in a good way. Without doubt, a great teacher and a breath of fresh air - her energy is resounding. Plus, she is a good person and does great things in this world.
she's great...you should so take her!
She is the best teacher ever. I love the way she teaches. There is no other math teacher who will be able to teach like her. She dieant take roll. She offers lots of Extra Credit on the computer part of the assignment. I took the hybrid class, n met her twice a week. ITs fun class. I wish she taught more math classes beside Algebra..
Awesome teacher really liked the way she teaches. She explains everything very well and has reviews for exams that are very similar to the test. I took her class and really enjoyed it.
Renee is amazing... hands down! She is helpful, clear and a total sweetheart! She cares about students and their success and she will do all she can to help you! I suck at math, always have and she made Algebra seem understandable. LOVE HER!
she's the best math teacher ever, very clear, her class makes you want to join the math major. She makes math fun, intresting and her knowledge in math is endless. She's very helpful. She gives test guides (review sheet and does it out) so you can follow the steps. No book required you create your own book. "binder check" RECOMMENDED 5 STARS!
Recommended! 5 STARS! She's fully invested in the subject and she tries to alleviate the demands that Math has to offer. Easy to get along with and very helpful. Be prepared to learn!
Take Algebra from NO ONE other than Renee! 1000 points in the class and much of it is easy filler points. No textbook required and she is soooo nice and helpful that it almost makes you enjoy math. I always hated math, but took 100 and 120 with Renee and passed easily! The best math prof EVER!
If you are bad at math and can't find a teacher that is a good enough teache to learn the material well Renee is your teacher she explains everything will make time for u whenever let's u turn in things late if something comes up the only bad thing about her is she doesn't teach stats I took her every class I could! Use her online videos too before a quiz they help alot!
good teacher. funny and cool. very helpful. has videos to enhance learning.
Freaking fantabulous! I am horrible when it comes to math and Renee was such a wonderful help that I actually looked forward to class and to acing my tests. She will do whatever she cans to help you pass because she genuinely cares.
She's good just be prepared to work because the class is not easy at all so many people dropped the class but she is a good professor just know Math 120 is not an easy subject.
If your looking for a teacher who keeps the class awake and gives test questions straight off of the review sheet, take her! :)
she is a great teacher. really laid back about turning in homework and can work with you with just about anything. super funny and class was never boring.
Prof. Medina is great when she teaches, but her grading is unfair. Most of the class had failed because her test were too hard. I wish she could at least take one day of every week to do a study review before we have the test instead of giving us the study guide and never turning it in to see how we did.
I dont recommend taking her at all!
great professor for calc. teaches like an algebra class step by step with little theory. lenient with homework due dates and many group quizzes that she is happy to help with
Tough but fair. She got me through Int. Algebra my 2nd time, (Mendez was Terrible). Losts of work, fast paced, but Very helpful
Class is very fast past. Many hand outs which are used for binder check and lots of online hw. I personally dont find her helpful at all. Ive asked for her help and instead her actually helping she gives a vague answer. If i dont understand how to do something how a vague answer help me?i dont recommend her at all.
She's the best math teacher I've ever had!
She is NOT a good math teacher @ all! She only explains a limited amount of problems then starts skipping steps after awhile. She is a prof. that doesnt like to lecture she likes 2 give out packets & let u fend 4 yourself. A quiz everyday plus pop quizzes. And lots of homework!..Beware
I took her online class. It was very fast paced. However, if you're taking an online class that's to be expected. I would get lost at times but that's when I'd open the book. Also, i spent many hours at the math lab. The exams aren't as hard as you'd think. Plus she adjusts the exam grades in your favor. I worked hard and therefore got an A.
took her hybrid class. In her videos she talks a bit too much. the class was easy. she doesnt give too much homework. She usually ends up doing the hw in her videos. if the you are on the waiting list of if you cant get in, still come to class. she'll accept you!
Great teacher. Fast paced class,her teaching methods are awesome. A lot of online homework and class work but very helpful. This is and easy A. I highly recommend her.
She is the best teacher! her clss goes fast, but she explans every step of a problem and teaches you how to cut steps from a log problem.Her tests are easy and are based on every thing she teaches!She is fun and work with you if some how you are not passing her class!
Funny. Clear. Consistent. Patient. Helpful.. TO THE MAX. Love her!
Renee is such a great teacher! I took her Math 299 class! She is very clear and she is so great and nice! She is really helpful and interacts with the students a lot. She hands out packets and goes over them with us and there are HW, CLASS, and take home quizzes. She goes over all of them. I think she is one of the best math prof. there! :D
Renee Medina is one of the best professors in SCC. Even though I spent a lot of time in My Math Lab still it was really helpful. All of her test and quizzes are based on her study guide. She is really patient and is always present in her office hour. Trust me take her you will not regret it
Worst teacher ever, she does not have good teaching skills, she can explain something but teaching she does a horrible job, she does not make sure the whole class understands before she moves on. She is very discouraging, I was having problems with a certain section and she told me maybe I'm not ready for math 34, how discouraging to a student.
Mrs. Medina is not a good teacher at all!! She does not explain things all the way through and she is not patient when it comes to helping students. There are several students who don't understand the work but there are about 2 that does and she basically teaches only those two students. I wish i could drop her class now. smh
I didn't like the course; I felt like it was scattered everywhere. If you want to take math 299 make sure you're not a full time student! to actually dedicate your time and energy to this course because you will need it. Renee is a great teacher, and is always willing to help if you ask. I was always in the math lab before tests; it always helps.
The class is pretty easy and she is also very helpful. Sometimes she like to use the guess and check method when there is a formula to solve a problem but overall the class isn't bad. The tests are very straight forward and similar to the quizzes so there should be no reason why someone should fail the test.
My first ever review on a teacher on this site cause shes just that amazing. I HATE math, but she made it pretty clear. Very nice and helpful. Not an easy A but hey, thats math. Would recommend.
She is an amazing math teacher. Always very precise and if you actually take the time to do the homework packets you will do just fine. SCC needs more teachers like her.
great teacher
I'm terrible at math and Renee is the best math teacher I've ever had. She helped me understand things I haven't understood in my entire math "career". I took intermediate algebra as a hybrid class (mostly online but with a once-per-week meeting), and she always answered my emails when I had questions on certain problems.
Professor Medina is awesome. Class was hybrid, only met on Fridays for quizzes, test, and turn-in homework. The online lectures are great and the ability to rewind the lecture is the key for success. I took this class because the other ones were full, but I am glad I did. Keep up with the homework for success. She will answer emails and text msgs!
I took the online class that meet on Fridays. So, she have videos on D2L that are very helpful, especially since she gives out a class work packet and help solve it through her videos. You get to see how each problem is done and then you apply it in the take home quiz she gives out. She's great at explaining too. Take her!! You won't regret it.
Highly recommend Renee for Math 100 shes really good. Class is only an Hour and a half so she has little time to teach but within that hour she teaches alot, but understandable. She gives alot of TQ so do those. And her exams are no more than 20 questions so it's really good if you study , guranteed pass in the class
Professor Medina is an excellent instructor and the most helpful professor I've had so far. She answers all your questions & explains every problem the class will do on the board thoroughly. She also has a very beneficial tutorial video on the D2L where she explains how to do a certain problem every problem unit chapter. It's impossible to fail.
Professor Medina has a nice teaching style, she is willing to help if you ask and or go to her office. The downfall is that she does not see when a student is trying their very best to pass the class. Not the easiest grader, and a lot of what is on the review isn't on the test. She wont curve your grade no matter how close you are to passing .
Professor Medina is great. i enjoyed her lectures and being her class as well. She knows what she is doing and she is good at teaching. I would take her again. She does give you partial credit on quizzes and exams.
Straight forward class, good teacher. Not a good idea to fall behind.
Great class, Very helpful and funny, a pretty easy class if you already passed math 100, if you have trouble with math, take her 123 and 124 classes. Not alot of homework, but as long as you keep up, you'll do good.
Highly recommend to take for Math 123 or 124. She helps you out a lot when you have trouble understanding a problem. If you go to her office hours, i gaurantee you will not fail her class. She helped me prepare for Finals and was there for me when I needed her help. I started off with a 51% in her class and finished with a 70%
Highly recommend. She gives clear lectures and is extremely helpful when explaining problems. Show up and keep up with the homework for a good grade.
Highly recommend to take her class!!!! Teaches really good lectures and extremely helpful when explaining it in class. She'll help you to prepare for exams and finals! She even gave you packets for hw, gives you take home practices quizzes, and other stuff!! I have a B on Math100 and a high C on Math120... and she does teaches Pre-Cal for fall!
I loved her class! She teaches really good and she's not as tough grader as you know about! She gives out amazing lectures, pop quizzes in every week or some weeks, lots of homework depends on book or papers (stacks of papers that she gives you lots) you dont know how much papers that she actually gives you lots!
This is one of my favorite math professors at sac city. She is very passionate in the math subject and is always willing to teach you different ways to do a problem if you are stuck. Test aren't extremely hard, but they are not easy. If she taught calculus I'd take her. She gives random homework quizzes so do your homework.
If your taking 299 part b make sure to study!! She goes over each classwork everyday thoroughly and is a very great teacher and happy to answer your questions. Better study for the tests as there's 6 or more that are 100 points and 55% of your grade. You can pass without doing homework as it is 5% of your grade. Just study
She's an awesome professor! Renee is very passionate about math. She teaches step by step for every problem, with several different approaches, from the book and her own experiences. Renee is very organized with the lecture. She's a very fair grader, but do the homework, do the practice chapter test in the book before exams, and you will ace it.
One of the best math teachers I ever had. Goes over homework questions beginning of every class. Also gives practice problems and study guides for exams. semi-flexible with homework if you have a legit excuse. I wish she taught math 400, id take her again in a heartbeat.
I loved taking her class, she does a great job explaining material so you understand it. She is funny and loves to keep the class in good spirits. I only say her class is hard because of the amount of homework that is 5% of your grade and because if you miss her class, you miss a lotttttttt of needed info that you cant get from the math lab.
Amazing teacher! Worked step by step if anyone needed it. Showed different methods of solving things. The attendance I wouldnt say is required but missing class would hold you back a bit if Math is your strong suit. She works on lots of problems in the packets during class which she collects before tests. Dont be afraid to ask questions!
I love her , she did such a great job in her lectures. I usually dont like math & she made it so much fun. You need to be in class in order to be successful. Prof Medina is very understanding when you cant show up but it is your responsibility to learn the lecture on your own time. I got a B. Very proud of myself.
Homework is fivepercent of your grade, do your homework and As the tests. Renee doesnt check the attendance but skipping class you wont pass. Her lectures are amazing,step by step,she does it the easy way that a student can understand.I heard shes accessible outside class like her office hours. Ill take her again if she teaches stat. Love her.
Its amazing how Renee can change your views about Math. Im in love with her. Great teaching style, step by step, does a lots of work in class packet. RENEE doesnt get annoyed when students ask questions haha at least I never saw her. So keep asking her questions. Take her and you wont regret it. She cares about her students.
She is the best professor I've ever had at Sac City. Her quizzes are exactly like the study guide she gives you, she makes sure all her students understand, keep up with her homework and classwork (which she does with you) and you'll pass the class. She makes you want to learn math even more.
