she comes in 15 minutes late, she asks you to turn of your phones, but her keeps ringing. she is very helpful but not clear enough, BUT if u stay afta class she can make it easy for u she leaves the class during quiz so you can cheat hehe ;)n her test are pretty kewl. she is very understanding, just share your problem and she might help u even more
she sucks and should be fired
can't speak english
She hardly speaks English. Its broken english and all over the place. The woman try's to be funny yet she kills every punch line. She is confusing and contradicting. She can't seem to stay focused for long. She seems like a nice lady and really understanding in about situations however being she can't speak English well makes her class not worth it
Very thick indian accent, but friendly and willing to help those who want to be helped.
Bad teacher, sloppy hand writing, and doesn't speak clearly
terrible teacher not funny very unorganized dosent know how to speak english at all so you wont understand the course.... also she is very rude and gets her mood swings is late to class
She messes up a lot. Transposing, dropping signs, reads from the book. Avoid her if you want to understand the material.
you have to do everything your self she does not know how to teach
AVOID THIS INSTRUCTOR - She does not prepare for class. Tests are multiple choice-no partial credit. Easily distracted - always late - class is way behind on material with a department exit exam coming soon - unorganized - she does not know the material - if she was a good teacher at one time, she's not now. Huge # in class are failing or dropped.
She is always late to class and does not know what to teach. The reason I earned an A in the class because I studied the whole book by myself and my friend who took the class already helped me. The teacher does not know how to solve the problems herself. I think that I need to teach her math.
Teacher is horrible
I took this course over the summer and we learned alot over a shor period but i never had a problem understanding her or learning the material.. yes its true shes usually late, but other than that i have no complaints. If you ACTUALLY LISTEN (unlike most students in my class) and take notes you will do great. She is a good teacher.
I couldn't really understand her. But Im not holding that against her. She can be confusing at times, and add to that I'm a bit shaky on my alg. I dropped and enrolled in a diff class.
Although she has a strong accent, she is very helpful. All what u have to do is to ask if u don't understand something. Easy A if u do the hw, and practice test
strong accent, talks fast, not effective. Constantly makes mistakes on the board, which is detrimental to people who are completely new to the subject. I am more confused after leaving class. I use classtime to do homework. I use videos online to teach myself the material. Practice test is practically the exact test, the only shining ray of hope.
First of, she is an extremely NICE professor. She wants you to try the problems, but you also have to do your part in reading the book and reinforcing it with lecture to master it. Her quizzes are easy. The HW is reasonable. The exams won't be a surprise if you do the practice test. Her notes can be messy at times, but she is always willing to help
If you want to take an A in a class just take her. she is extremely helpful. she's willing to help students out when they struggle at any problem.her quizzes and exams are fair, and the homework is not hard. just take the class with her you won't regret that !:)
She is a good professor. She gives you all the resources to do well in the class. People complain she doesn't teach, but usually they never study or leave everything for last minute. Use textbook, packets, hw, and InteractMath to get ready to KICK BUTT on the exams. People exaggerate on her accent. Recommend, she's very flexible and is passionate.
I highly recommend professor Joseph. She is really nice and very helpful. God Bless her . Thank you a lot for taking your time and explaining every single thing for me.
Great mentor, the world needs more professors like her..always there for students..willing to go above and beyond..if u are serious about your major take this course..
I cant understand why when students dont do well they put all the blame on the professor? I can say with all amount of confident that Prof. Joseph is very good and was there for all my cour semate, Always ready to go extra mile to make you understand what you needed to. I strongly recommend her to whoever is a beginner and is scared of math class.
Great & very helpful teacher! She works hard to let her students learn math in an easy and interesting way. I recommend her to whoever wants to learn math in the easy interesting and simple way. thanks miss Joseph for making me confident in my math skills .
very helpful and always available to discuss class concerns
Very helpful and always willing to help students
For math 99 I took the course in a lab using mymathlab,com instead of being in a regular classroom. Since I was in the lab I rarely saw her the only time will be when shes taking attendence. Everything is on mymathlab,com, quizzes.h.w,and exams and its easy to cheat
Easy to understand and put alot of her own time into the class. She is also at the math tutoring center. This is great for students like me know need a bit of help to lean. Attending class was not forced but you get points for each day present, and they add up. Test were laid out in syllabus but quizzes are not. Overall she was a great teacher.
Prof. Joseph is very personable and she cares for her students. If you show her enthusiasm for Math she will help you to understand the concepts. She makes herself available if you need extra help. I enjoyed taking this course with her and I highly recommend her! She is an awesome instructor!
very nice and helpful
I don't think I would have passed this class if it weren't for her. Math is very frustrating for me and she was very understanding and had tons of patience explaining things to me personally. She is always willing to help students.
Effective teaching, taken each student unique
Humorous,funny , Fun way of teaching
Exceptional personality who know how to teach!!!
Take care of students for individual performance
Great passion in teaching
I like professor Joseph's class a lot since she is always a passionate teacher
Knows what she doing
She is Smart & funny!
Very deep knowledgable
Great professor I ever had and want for all my Math class
Great organized lectures
Excellent teaching!!!
Wonderful professor, Hilarious!!!!
She is hilarious, as a person, but not the most clear in explaining certain topics. However, that being said, she is willing to help you in class, during office hours, and encourages you to go to tutoring (which can amount to extra points). There is homework assigned from the syllabus, but she only collectschecks the homework on the test days.
Professor Joseph is very knowledgeable and very encouraging. She really knows her stuff and always comes prepared for class. Unlike other math teacher who just provide the answers to the test questions, Professor Joseph explains the formulas and derive them in detail so the students don't have to memorize it only for the test. She is awesome profr.
she is a very nice professor, she is always there when you need help. I have taken 2 classes with her. The first one was college algebra I got a C, then I took precalculus and I got a B. She likes to see your homework, online work, and in class all the times. If you need extra help go to tutoring and she will give you extra credit for that.
Rosamma Joseph is an exceptional teacher that really cares about her students. She is open to help during and after class. I would take her class a thousand times.
She teaches all the material in the syllabus but can be hard to understand sometimes requiring you to go to tutoring for extra help.
She's very funny. Just like any other math class if you want a good grade just make sure to study for your exams and do your homework.
It was a pleasure to be in prof Joseph class! She is a great professor and a very good person. She is always ready to help you if you got stuck with some problem. Prepare to study hard anyway, there are a lot of material to cover. Participation also matters! Would definitely recommend taking her class!
Professor Rosemma genuinely cares about her students. She wants everyone to succeed and believes they can do it if they put effort. The homework she makes us do helped me a lot. Coming from a student who is bad at math. I succeeded in math and now I am interested in it. Just put in hard work and actually take your time to learn it.
she is very good teacher and always wiling to help student and make them think about there goals in life she talk to from her heart her test and quiz are easy she follow the syllabs recmonded
She's a very kind person, however, she is very unorganized and wastes A LOT of class time
She's a very kind person, however, her notes are extremely unorganized. You really need to put in effort to understand the material. She also wastes A LOT of class time.
She does have a heavy accent but its easy to get used to and to understand after a while. She gives homework, pop quizzes, and tests, which are easy and are multiple choice. Everything is easy you just have to be in class and keep up. She's friendly and always willing to go over stuff if you don't understand. Totally recommend :)
Great professor with great respect from students. I like her tests, which are tough, but worth it. She is there for helping us & wants students to succeed in their future classes. Professor is funny with jokes. Very patient in grading and explaining until I get it. Fantastic lectures!!!
when I first start the class,I think im going to fail, but she is very helpful and also sge office houres if you dont understand she will help you out. at first week I think i will drop her class but later she gives me a little more extra time and Im able to understand more and she is great I've ever had
Literally the worst teacher I've ever had in my life. Doesn't teach anything. Just does one or two examples of a problem and then moves on to the next topic. Doesn't explain why she's doing a problem a certain way and when I tried understanding it by reading the book, there were multiple things she didn't even go over in class. never again.
This teacher is Really nice. I have taken her two times. She is really smart, and she understands you. This professor is easy going. i highly recommend her . you will have fun.
TERRIBLE
Anyone who rated her poorly obviously didn't care to read the syllabus or do homework. She collects HW before each test, giving you a few weeks to complete them at a time. Some exam questions are straight from the book. Pay attention to her lectures and you'll be fine. She doesn't keep track of attendance but if you skip class you will become lost.
I couldnt understand 7/10 she spoke, 'making it impossible to decipher her incredibly unorganized notes. Also skipped the first week and told the class to google the material she didn't cover. Very good at math, but can't communicate her process to students in a clear, efficient manner. You end up watching her solve a problem without explanation
I ended up teaching myself and another classmate precalc. She's very unorganized during lectures and is hard to understand. I understand professor's aren't perfect, but seriously, she isn't the best at explanations. If it weren't for the book, I might not have passed. Although I will say this, a good relationship with her and might get you an A :)
I will say that she is hard to understand at times because of her thick accent. I'm not sure if I would take her again but if you work hard she will see that. If you aren't willing to put in the work then don't expect to pass. If she likes you she may give you a little help on your tests or overall grade.
Heavy accent and gets off topic once in a while. She is decent at teaching the material but spent most of the time studying on my own to understand the material.
She is a caring person, but is often late to class and hard to understand at times. You will have to teach yourself the material more often than not. However, the grading criteria was clear. Tests were straightforward, and she usually collects homework right before them. I would look to other professors first, though.
Super Professor who knows how to teach Math
Great student feed back & respect students. Great way of explaining Math
Ms. Joseph is hands down the nicest most caring professor who wants to see you succeed. She works individually with you if you are not understanding lectures in a regular classroom setting and she is always available to answer your questions. I highly recommend this professor, especially if math is not your best subject.
Professor Joseph is fantastic! She is very caring and genuinely enjoys teaching her classes. She's easy to talk to and makes you work for your grade. You need your book and there is loads of homework. Tests can be hard, but if you pay attention and do the work they're not overly bad. She's really great!
You just have to work on your own. Math practise. It's really boring class.
Shes cool but the lectures are a little confusing considering we go off topic sometimes. Read the chapters before class so youll have an idea about what shes talking about. Ask a lot of questions.
Nice person, but not an amazing professor. She's not horrible, but lectures are a bit disjointed, and sometimes unclear. Going to Wright's free tutoring center helped me pass. Watching Khan Academy also helped. She wouldn't be my first choice to take, but she does an acceptable job.
She has good explanation skills and very funny professor. Although lots of homework, but you can easily pass the class.
She is a kind person in class overall, and gives chances for students to bring up their grade and redo mistakes they have made. But her schedule in terms giving exams is discouraging. She does give an exam a few weeks into the semester, but after that, she gives an exam every two weeks! on top of that she gives way too much homework for students.
She is so kind and understands the students. She lets student retake the test whenever you're willing to. You will have a decent amount of homework but believe it will help you in the test especially make to do the practice test because 3 to 5 exact questions come in the test from the practice test. She also makes jokes a lot. Good Luck!
Wonderful instructor, show her you care about your education and she'll care too! She WANTS you to learn and pass, so go to class and work hard. It's a tough class but if you put in the time you'll do well. The lectures are good to intoduce the topic, then you solidify it by doing the homework, then she answers questions during review the next day.
How does she have a 3.6? She's a fantastic professor, she understands any problem you have rather it's academic or personal. I'd recommend you take her class
She teaches the easiest shortcuts in math that make the most tedious math problems a piece of cake. She may pronounce your name wrong. but she knows who you are in her class. If you come prepared and focused to her class, she will teach, inspire, and make you laugh. I observed my classmates as being comfortable and eager to ask questions. Loved her
She's super sweet and caring. She gives time to go over any homework questions before every class and if during the lesson someone doesn't understand something, she stops until they get it. Yeah she has a strong accent at first but then you get used to it.
She has a very heavy accent. She's nice and funny, but she's also a tough professor. She wants things done her way and she doesn't do much explaining. She will leave you behind, if you don't understand something. She does come late almost everyday. She also accuses students of talking when they're not. If she sees you're trying you will pass.
Wonderful professor. She cares about each and every student and motivates/ inspires you to do your best, The work you put in reflects your grade. She gets through every ones questions before she advances. her pep talks, and inspirational speeches is what makes her stand out compared to others. Would love to take her next courses.
I was struggling mid-way through the semester and contemplated dropping the course and re-taking it later. The professor encouraged the class not to give up, regardless of where you stood. Instead, focus on the power of now and finish strong as tomorrow is not promised. She inspired me and managed to save my semester. Truly caring & knowledgeable.
Took the time to explain concepts.
She is Amazing! I took her in spring 2020, half of semester we did it on Zoom because of covid-19. She took the time to explain everything very detail. All quizzes and test come from the homework problems.
No organization at all her class is mess, her notes is mess, she doesn't grade until the last minute, I received 4 grades from the tests and homework we did 1-2 months ago This Zoom classes is hard for everyone, but she would give wrong link to class and then accuses everyone for being in wrong zoom
It the absolute worst experience I've ever had. She was mad that another Prof wasn't able to teach the class, and she took it out on the students the whole semester. She didn't give any individual help. Solved most of her example problems incorrectly. I don't know she's employed in all honesty. Maybe she's better under other circumstances?
She is demanding, exactly the way that teacher should be, otherwise you would not be able to accomplish the math class.
Professor Joseph is nice she wants you to be successful in her class. It gives homework straight off the textbook so beware if you get this professor DON'T GET MyMathLab. I had issues with that myself . Finally please pay attention to the class it will help in the future and if she were to call on you thank you would def recommend this professor
She missed the midterm, and expected us to moderate ourselves, and know what homework to submit after the exam. She can be rude, and occasionally gas lights students who have questions. She does not respond to emails frequently, and disses you if you need help, but don't show up to office hours.
Do not recommend. Messy notes, does not teach very well, got frustrated when students asked continuous questions, does not record classes, calls on students. Gives 6 quizzes, 5 tests (including midterm and final) throughout semester. Students had a problem with buying the textbook and she did not help in any way. Terrible experience.
A professor who sees the individual student rather than the number and truly cares about you leaving her class having properly understood the material. If you are able to demonstrate what you have learned your grades will soar. I did have some difficulty accessing office hours, for best results treat it as an appointment and email beforehand.
Very caring and fun-filled classes. Great explanation! Truly wants you to learn and reach your goal! Very nice person.
My experience in this math class left me with a negative impression. Ms. Joseph does not make an effort to engage with students seeking help, often advising us to "go to tutoring" instead. In my view, as an educator, it is her responsibility to provide more direct help and guidance to students who are struggling.
Professor Joseph is an excellent teacher. Math is my worst subject by far and feels like a huge drag, but I actually look forward to her class! She's really caring and takes time to make sure you understand the material. She explains things in simple yet straightforward terms which makes math topics easy to follow, and she has a great attitude.
If you show up to class and take notes you should be able to pass the class.
Hard to follow imo because she has a heavy accent and she rambles a bit too much. Came to class late consistency and on test days. Teaching is kinda all over the place so make sure you're on top of things. Her feedback on tests/quizzes may be wrong so double check. No retakes on tests. Bad with technology. Honestly, good luck if you take this prof
I took this prof last semester because of the great reviews she had. But it's like she was a different person in class.Rambles too much and when she teaches,she's all over the place, her work is written on top of problems which made it hard to follow along.When questions were asked she said to either follow along better or go to tutoring.Good luck
Professor really cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. She would stay after class to help me with certain subjects frequently and went to every student every class to help them individually. Overall, great professor!!! Note:This class was more of a study hall due to it being based on Aleks.
Professor Joseph wants you to succeed. While her workload can be heavy, she's willing to help and give chances to improve. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for staying on top of the material.
Listen to me when I say she is the best option there is. Mandatory attendance, but actually showing up goes a long way, also lectures go by faster than expected. She will always meet you the rest of the way if you show up and try. Ive only heard complaints from students who want the grade without trying at all. Shes as good as they come, trust me.
Heavy accent , sort of all over the place when giving a lecture , shes appochable; however due to the accent i can bearly understand anything. i wouldnt recommend
Honestly this professor was something almost about every week, and it's not only because I couldn't understand her because her accent. It seems like her teaching and her pace stetted people up to fail. I had to use Khan Academy and I understood more on the than I could ever learn from her. Would always be late to class and even argue with a student
