I hate calculus but she made it managable. She makes herself available for personal help if you need it and is willing to grade more lenient if you try your best. She actually is more concerned with making sure you understand concepts rather than trying to throw information at you and seeing how well you can retain. Very good teacher!

I love this woman to the moon and back! Calculus is a tough subject but she has a way of explaining things that really helped me understand what I'm doing. She is very positive and will go above and beyond for her students if you let her know you need help. She has an accent but it's not hard to understand her if you pay attention!

Professor Torres is wonderful! She's aware that calculus is a hard class and does her best to make sure everyone understands what she's talking about. She is also very understanding and will meet with you outside of class, extend a homework deadline, or let you retake a quiz if you talk to her. If you're going to take calculus, take it with her!

Professor Torres is one of the kindest, most understanding professors I've had at SPC. She is very reasonable and will give you a homework deadline extension or another attempt on a quiz if you ask. She's also in her office a lot and had a Zoom session just for our class every week if we wanted to go over a quiz/ test or needed extra help.

I recommend her 100%! She cares so much about her students, and if you show her that you want to learn, she will do everything in her power to help you. She has a great sense of humor, she's very approachable and she makes her lectures fun. I struggled with test taking for reasons unrelated to math and she helped me better myself. She inspires me!

Prof. Torres is the BEST professor ever! She is extremely caring & is willing to do whatever it takes for you to understand the subject & pass. Prof Torres will drop whatever that is going on and make you feel special. I am definitely going to grow and enroll with her again next semester.

She's passionate about teaching math, but she's so much more than just a math teacher. I felt like I could talk to her about anything, and that helped me believe in myself and do well!

I took Professor Torres in the fall. I was nervous looking at her ratings but I feel she really listened to the feedback. Gave lots of extra credit, after every topic change would ask if everyone got it, gives her cell number so you can text or call her whenever you have a question and she responds quickly. Overall I thought she was great! Easy A!

Took 2311 and 2312 with her. Very caring and really wants you to understand the material. Gives bonus opportunities, tests for 2312 are easier than the hw but I suggest working through the quizzes to study. Final was harder than expected. She is easily accessible outside class. She also has cool outfits.

Calc 2 is not an option? Anyways the class is extremely hard, to begin with. The modules are very different from one another and studying for hours a week every week is not abnormal. However, Professor Torres is one of the most amazing professors. She's so understanding and will gladly increase deadlines.

The entire course will be through MathLab except for the final exam. No midterm and no honor lock for tests and quizzes. The review for the final is very similar to the actual exam, so if you study, you're pretty much good. She will open all the quizzes/hw for everyone toward the end of the semester if you want to reattempt anything.

Ms Torres is one of the best professors I have had. As someone who worked 2 jobs this semester and wasnt able to keep up with all the homework due dates, she was very understanding and allowed me to make it up whenever i had the time to do so. The course itself has a ton of homework but the final was easy!

She is a great professor and offered many ways for you to improve your grade in the class. Highly recommend to go through the review questions that she posts as that can help pass the class and to also go through her video lectures to understand the concept. With both of those you can be able to pass the class. 10/10.

Nothing is wrong with Prf.Renee, the problem is her teaching style & lack of sense.The online meetings are based on her old Pow.Point slides, read word by words, expected you to know the materials before join (is a must), but it's her job at least to use MS Paint write examples down for better understanding. I'll rereview after finishing this class

I have now taken Calc 2 three times and this professor is certainly the best I've had. She is accessible outside of class, often if you text her she responds within the day with the worked-out problems. She is also genuine and knows that life is tough. She is a very forgiving grader and gives extra credit!

Professor Torres is really kind and accessible. However I feel like the homework, textbooks and powerpoint problems and the way to work them are not reflected on the test. The final and midterm make up your grade entirely and I felt like no matter how hard I studied it did not prepare me for the tests.

I absolutely LOVE Professor Torres. She is very kind, patient, and understanding. The class is incredibly difficult, but she holds weekly Zoom meetings to explain assignments. She will work around your schedule if you need it. The content is very WebAssign heavy and the midterm and final exams make up most of your grade.

I had Professor Torres twice. For Calc 1, I got a B, and for Calc 2, I got a C. Now, I could've gotten A's in her class if I had followed her study recommendations. She is extremely thoughtful, professional, and intuitive. She is always open to help you whenever she is available. If you have concerns talk to her and she will help you make a plan.
