Good professor. She tries to make a hard class easier. You WILL need to study. The quizzes are right out of the HW problems. She takes your ten best quizzes so take as many as possible! Exams are reasonable and not long. She gives a little extra credit. If she is available for Applied Calc, take her!

Rita is really nice and intelligent. She knows what she's talking about and always makes sure her class is on the right track. She's more than willing to help inside and outside of class. Be prepared for weekly quizzes.

Professor Patel is an excellent math teacher! She explains problems really well, engages w the students, has neat hand-writing, and amazingly, makes learning fun! She is also always willing to help during office-hours. In-class, there are 3 tests, 12 quizzes, a mid-term and a final. For a good grade, attend classes, do homework & study for tests.

I was out of school for almost 6 years, so i had to take this course. Ms. Patel is by far one of the best math teachers i have ever had. She goes in depth when it comes to math problems and breaks it down. Attendance is a must. Tests are based off the homework so do the homework and you'll be fine. Ask for help if needed.

The class I took met twice a week so the material came at a fast pace, Ms. Patel would be great at making sure the material was being taken in by the students. Gives you enough quizzes to make sure that you get the most points. Offers a lot of help to her students, would definitely take another class from her again. Participation is good.

Ms Patel was easily one of my favorite teachers at COD. She has 4 chapter tests but the first one is just a review from 0481. Weekly quizzes and as long as everyone passes them then the homework isn't collected. Gives a lot of easy points for participation and such. She breaks down the material step by step until everyone gets it. Highly recommend.

Was my favorite professor 1st semester of freshman year. Gives lots of easy points for participation, cares about her students, and manages to make what would otherwise be a difficult class easy. Do the homework and you'll be fine for the tests. Highly recommended!

Dr. Patel is one of the best math professors I've had the pleasure of learning under. She's very clear on what you should know, and will always take time to help those who struggle, in class and outside. Homework is not collected, but she tracks progress through quizzes so do the homework anyway!! I can't wait to take more classes with her!

Professor Patel is awesome! She will take the time to go over any problem. When we do examples in class, she will stop and will ask if there are any questions. I appreciate her patience and all of the efforts she puts into her lectures. She has a great speaking voice. She will make modifications to the class for our/their benefit.

She is willing to go out of her way to help students with any question they may have. She tolerates students well and still helps them even if they are rude, etc. She works very well with the class, instead of a group of students and a teacher, this class is one unit.

take this teacher , teaching style awesome .if you want to learn math take this teacher.

Dr. Patel is one of the best math teachers you could ever have, she tries to get everyone to participate and demonstrate understanding. She will not move on with the lesson unless everyone is confident in what they learned. She always helps students outside of class. If you fail, it's because you didn't reach out to her or speak up in class.

I love this teacher, the only thing that is difficult is that it is all test based. she does not offer extra credit. with this said, she is the only math teacher I have learned from and she cares. She makes accomidations that are nessasary. she treates everyone the same

Came to her after having a horrible math teacher and I absolutely love her. She is very knowledgeable, but is very good at explaining concepts and stopping when students are confused. She always asked our feedback about when we wanted tests and quizzes. The hw is not required, but she pulls test and quiz questions straight from it.

This class is very test heavy make so sure to study. However, the material was easy to understand and she is open to questions if you have them. I definitely would recommend her if you're looking for an easy math credit.

I am not good at math whatsoever, but this teacher was definitely the best college math teacher I've had this far. This class was tests and quizzes only so you don't have to do the homework but it will definitely be to your advantage. Quizzes Were exact problems from the homework. Overall she gives the student every opertunity to succeed.

Prof Patel was probably the best math teacher I've had in all my schooling. She is always willing to meet outside of class and do anything to help you succeed. She is very attentive in class and really pays attention to students' level of understanding. She truly wants students to learn math, take her! You have to work for it but she's awesome:)

I like Rita as a person and she is a good teacher. She goes over examples in class lecture style and is around if you need extra help. The difficulty with her class is that it is all graded based on tests and quizzes, with homework assigned, but never graded for credit. She pulls questions for quizzes straight from the homework. Be ready to work.

She is very good at explaining material. Quizzes every week. She wants students to participate though so make sure to be vocal in class.

Dr. Patel is a great Professor, she cares about her students and helps you when you ask. Always use her office hours if you aren't understanding anything. She is always happy to help. By far the best Math professor I have had in College.

Patel is an amazing professor with a great teaching style! You can tell she has a passion for the subject and cares about her students. I would recommend this professor to anyone, especially those who are not too confident in their trig.

Had Dr Patel for Trig. Very solid instructor. Her lectures were extremely organized, clear, and she adjusted the pace if she sensed the class was confused. She offers lots of extra help, and explains very well. Do all the homework, and read the chapter. Trig is not conceptually hard, but implementation can be tricky when time is limited.

Took her class for Business Calc. Always willing to help and wants her students to do well in tests and quizzes. Her teaching style is awesome and if you pay attention you should do good. There was a quiz every week but she tells you which sections the quiz is going to be on. Requires you to review and work outside class.

Patel was a really good prof! She definitely makes you work for it, but genuinely wants her students to succeed. I always felt like she wanted us to not just learn the info to pass the test, but to learn the material and apply it to real life. She's challenging, but really good. Oh, and don't bring your phone out during her class, she hates that!!

I took her precalc1432 class. She really cares if her students learn the material. She makes it clear what she is looking for and gives opportunities for you to pass. Definitely participate, it counts towards your grade and she can then see what you struggle on and gives more mercy on tests. Do not pull your phone in class, she will kick you out.

The best math teacher you can have at this college. She has plenty of time to spare for students outside of class, follows a wonderful structure for every lecture, and provides plenty of examples in class. If you pay attention, take notes, practice and put in a moderate effort, you will succeed. I made an account on this site just to back her up.

Patel clearly has a passion for math and cares about her students. Her lectures are a bit confusing and she assigns A LOT of hw, but doesn't grade it. your grade will be made up of 12 weekly quizzes (you drop 2 ), 3 tests, and the final. the quizzes will be questions directly from the assigned hw. If do every hw question you should be fine.

If you miss some classes it's okay if you go and see her outside of class she is willing to help you. she really takes care of her students. Patel will help you out and explains you really well.

Had Ms. Patel for Elementary Statistics and she was extremely helpful and considerate towards the students in terms of grades. She always looked through tests and quizzes and gave us partial credit for anything we got wrong. She was very helpful outside of class and always had time to answer and questions you had.

Professor Patel is really caring and checks up on you. The tests and quizzes are based of the homework. There is a lot of homework but it prepares you for the test. She is very approachable and kind. There are four tests which helps a lot if you do not do well on one.

Very nice, Professor checks up on you and makes sure all is going well, but the class is very heavy with homework and quizzes. One of the hardest classes I've taken.

She is really nice. I took her for stats. The class is not hard once you learn stat crunch. Ask her to show you how to do it right away. I made the mistake of waiting. The class is a breeze once you learn statcrunch.

The class is easy. Everything is online but tests are on campus. No calculators on tests.

I took the online course. Easy to follow. Lots of qu. Great teacher. Always there to support students. Gives all projects at once with a due date. Checks in once in a while to make sure you understand the homework and provides great feedback. I wish I could take other classes from her. She provides lots of videos and is always available to help.

There are 4 exams no final. Videos and slides (not necessary) are in blackboard. Homework and quizzes are in mathlab. She is one of the better online teachers.

The class is pretty easy but you have to work. She is easy to get a hold of and will meet you in the evening which was what I needed. Overall the course was very good for being online.

The class is hard but she's great. I took her for Calc 1. Everything is online. The exams are taken though zoom and work is emailed to her. It's not easy but I recommend taking her.

She is a great professor at this college. She was very accommodating when I had to take a makeup exam. There were two exams in the class and lots of homework.

LEARN STATCRUNCH! I once spent 6 hours calculating HW that I could do in 30 min in STATCRUNCH! Once you understand what you're doing there you'll be fine. It was an online class but Prof. P was accessible and nice every time I reached out to her & responds quickly to emails. Only 2 deadlines (for ppl like me who work the whole week it means a lot)

The class is really hard but learning how to use statcrunch made it easy so learn that first and dont fall behind leaving everything last minute. Only two tests and no final but lots of homework and quizzes. Was able to reach her through email mostly but it takes her a while to respond. Go in for math help and the math assistance and you can pass

I took Calc 2, MATH 2232 with Patel but had to withdrawal because I was not managing the work load correctly. Patel is an amazing math professor and teaches very well. She is very kind and makes you feel comfortable asking questions in class. The quizzes prepare you for the exams and she clearly states what is on the quizzes/exams. I recommend her!

Can't list MATH-2232, but I took her for Calc II not I. Very accessible outside class & helpful during office hours. Grades are based on 3 exams, 10 quizzes, and the final (weighted = exam), but you take 12-13 quizzes, so your bottom 2-3 are dropped. Calc II is tough & you need to do the homework to succeed even if it isn't graded!

She does have some rules: no phones or electronics use during lecture. Homework is assigned but not graded, so you do what you need to. Weekly quizzes, 3 exams, and a final, with content clearly communicated. Come prepared and do some homework and you'll be fine. Show up unprepared, ask no questions, do no homework=get expected result.

I took her for math 0481. It's not hard but no calculators on exams. The class would be a breeze with calculators. She emails back quickly. Homework quizzes are online. Exams on campus. She gives partial credit. She is very nice is office hours.

I took here for calc 2. The class was way harder than calc 1. You will work your butt off. She's very nice and very helpful especially in office hours. Weekly quizzes are from homework and exam problems are from the book. If you do the homework and text problems you will pass for sure.

Easy class! I took this as a refresher. It's a remedial math class I took online. She has due dates for units. As long as you get the work done on time, you are fine. Exams are taken at the campus. I would take her again.

Online class that's not for credit. Do the work and you will pass. Teacher responds to emails quickly.

I took Patels online gen ed math course. There were only 4 chapters in the class. There were two exams and a final. She gave 8 weeks to get through 2 chapters. So 16 weeks to get through 4 chapters. The book and videos are online and there is a website for other thigs. Take her. Just do the assignments and you will pass.

Hard class for development class that is not for credit. She is nice and helpful but studying alone is hard. I go see her many times and that helped my grade. she gives partial credit for exams so show work. There are 3 exams, many quizzes, and too much homework. Also, 1 final. I would take her but there is a lot of work for no college credit.

Straight forward class. Do the work and you will pass. She responds quickly to emails and seems nice.

I took Patel twice for calc2. She's very good at explaining things. I got an A in calc1 but didn't know anything. That prof gave everyone As. First time I took calc2 was hard but I understood everything because she explained things. The second time I passed. Take her if you want to understand. If you want an easy A don't take her.

Patel's class was good for being online. Homework and quizzes were what you expect. They are done at home. Two exams and a final that had to be taken on campus. That was surprising since it was an online class. She told us before the class started though. She emailed students separately which was nice. Overall very good for an online class.

I actually took Patel for 1533. It was a math class for business majors. The class is pretty easy. Just come to class participate and do the homework. She explains the math well. Totally take her!

Rita Patel is a great professor, she explains things well and she is accessible outside of class for office hours or email to help when you need it. Don't be afraid to ask questions in class. The homework may be optional but you should do it since the weekly quizzes are are based on them.

Mrs. Patel is really nice. There are four exams, homework, and quizzes. The exam problems are basically homework problems. If you do the homework you will pass. She seems nice and responds to emails quickly.

It's no joke about the phone. She catches you she kicks you out of class. She's very nice but crazy about the phone. Go to class and pay attention and you will at least pass the class. You do the homework and you should get a B. She easy to meet with and explains things well. Just make it to class and you will be good.

Patel really knows her stuff and wants students to engage in her class (if you have questions, ask her). Her lectures are to the point and her notes very organized. Homework is given but not graded, but it's in your best interest that you do it. Her exams aren't impossible, but you can't study the night before and expect to do well.
