She is a wonderful instructor, who wants you to succeed she uses My Math Lab which is an extra tool for practicing and tutoring you with Math. She does go fast time is limited but she will stay after to give more clarification, also gives partial credit, must show your work also she gives a bonus on every test, she returns emails quickly and genui
If you are really serious about being a teacher she is the BEST math teacher to have. She will make sure that you understand the material. She emails you back right away. If you pay attenchen and do the homework you can do really well in the class.
I took her for MAT 156 and 157 and I love her! She is so funny and adorable. She makes sure everyone understands her, and that all her assignments are thoroughly explained. Go to class, do the work, and study at least a little for the test and you will do just fine.
You'll LOVE this teacher! She is very clear & when you don't understand something, she will do everything in her power to help you understand!! She loves what she does, which helps, and she really gives you an opportunity to love it too! There are a few projects that tend to sneak up on you, but don't procrastinate & you will do well in the class!
AMAZING teacher One of the best teachers at MCC. It is obvious she loves her job. It is a little work though. No book just course compass and a few projects. Pay attention in class and review a little before the test and you will be fine. She made me want to be a Math teacher.
I'm still taking her class, but she is an amazing math teacher. She makes math fun, and she's very funny.
LOVED her class. The best math class i took so far and she can explain everything very well. She enjoys teaching altogether. :)
Very helpful, explained every type of problem for each section, and clearly loved teaching. Fantastic professor, and I'll definitely be taking her again in the future. If you want to really learn math, take her. she knows what she's doing, understands it, and wants you to understand it too.
She is amazing and very helpful. She's alway trying to help you find the way you personally learn best. She teaches you tricks to help you remember things. She truly gives you all the tools you need to be successful in math A+++ in my book.
Ms Klassen is the best math teacher that I know that helps her student and go the extra mile so that her student can succeed.
Best math teacher I have ever had! The class requires a lot of work and staying organized but Its all for your benefit. She makes math fun understandable and will help you with anything.She has a great personality and makes class fun.This is the math teacher you want!!
Great teacher! I only got the grade I did because I didn't work hard enough. She offers so much one on one help. Best math teacher I have had at MCC so far. Provides notes for every lesson and lots of extra studying material.
Ms. Klassen was the best teacher I have ever had. She is very helpful and will explain if you don't understand. You have to be very disciplined, as this was a fast paced class. If I have any more math classes, I will make sure that I have Ms. Klassen as a teacher.
Math class is a sworn enemy to many! Not in this class. CHILL OUT! Klassen keeps this class amazingly enjoyable. Never ever ever a frustrating moment. She loves being with her students! It's very easy to pay attention in her class. Everyone does. Even the "stupid" kids. She makes math class...not math class. It's so refreshing. TAKE HER!!!!!
Ms. Klassen rocks as a teacher. She loves her job and loves her students. She breaks down the material in a way that makes learning easy to those who apply themselves. She is ready to meet with students to help them. You will have all the tools to do well in math, even if you hate the subject!
The class was very easy if you paid attention and did the homework it was an easy A
You will learn how to teach math in this class. The first test can be rough. Study for the tests and you'll be fine. She works with you and she cares about her students. She really does want you to succeed and become the best teacher possible. Do the hw and the projects. Tests are worth a big portion of your grade. Oh yeah and she's hilarious!
A wonderful teacher who loves her job. She teaches in an interesting manner that makes you care about math. I thought I loved math before I got to college, but found that I had no idea what a love of math was until I passed her class!
Professor Klassen is a wonderful professor and really loves math. Nice to see a professor who loves what she is doing. Math is hard but she does her best to make it as easy as possible. A lot of homework but that is how math works. Do your homework and when it comes to test and final exam time you'll be set.
Roxanne uses a unique teaching style, which encourages student participation. She strives to keep the class entertained & focused. She has a friendly, helpful attitude, willing to go the extra mile. A clear focus on organization, with regular communication checks to help students succeed. Personal opinion: BEST math teacher I've ever had!
Roxanne is an excellent teacher. Very helpful and keeps class fun. Great personality as well!
I wish I could give this wonderful woman a higher rating. Her teaching method is amazingly effective, but she will not do the work for you. You put in a tiny bit of effort and you will do fine. I could have easily achieved an A if I had done all the online quizzes. Not only did I pass, I fully understand the material and can move on to MAT120.
Wonderful, passionate about subject, friendly, and involved. Go to the class, pay attention, just do the work on time and you'll do great! She's BIG on spelling-it's important for future teachers anyway. Pretty much the thing I missed the most on in my tests was my spelling. It's most important to know HOW you got the answer and be able to explain.
This class was not an "easy" class there is work that has to be done and two big projects but Roxanne does a GREAT job at teaching. She works with you one on one to make sure that you understand the work. She does not mess around so if you are looking for a professor to look away when you don't do the homework or don't show up find another class.
Mrs. Klassen is awesome I had her for 097 and requested her for 122 because of how helpful she was. It can be difficult to catch up if you miss class. If you ever do not understand something she will work with you until you do. She's very nice but she is not a pushover. If you want to pass, attend class, ask questions, and ask her for help.
One of the best teachers I've had. I took the accelerated class, we had to cover two sections a day sometimes 3. But she made sure I never fell behind.
Professor Klassen is a such nice, helpful. She definitely wants you to succeed. She does everything she can to help you, and provides a lot of opportunity to get help if you need it. Love her And would DEFINITELY take her again.
Never liked or understood math until starting this class with Mrs. Klassen and now I feel like a math genius! So gad I found a math teacher that can hold my attention!!
Start on the big projects as soon as possible and do not expect any help on the projects, homework or tests outside of class.
Roxanne is a good teacher but she seems to be too busy. Myself and a few other class mates went in for 3 hours before class, during her office hours, and she was not available. She spent the 2 minutes she did give us not answering our questions about the tests or the projects, just beating around the bush. Hmm. Not excited to take her next class.
She was very easy to work with any question I had. She would not give you the answer, but hunt at the steps to take in order to make it.
She is a good teacher and know so much about teaching future teachers how to teach math. However her tests are hard and they cover a lot of information. Get ready to explain your answers and not just solve the math problem. I did learn a lot from her class, she is a good teacher and she's hilarious.
The pro with Roxanne is that you are not bored IN class. However, the downfall to this is that you are clueless on how to do the math because she does everything in groups. I am a slow learner and I need to see my professor do several examples, carefully explained before getting into any group talk or activity.
Mrs. K is the best. She was always so availed and helpful. Her class is very fast pace but she is such an amazing teacher, I actually enjoyed ing to her class she is hilarious and makes it fun. Honestly one of the best Math teachers hands dow. If you want to get math finally and pass, take her . Work hard and take advantage of her office hours!
Roxanne has been my favorite teacher at MCC so far. She is supportive, engaging, really knows her stuff. If you blow off her class, she won't save you. If you work, she will help you achieve greatness. She does some online and some paper HW, and expects you to keep things in a binder for reference - and she checks it.
Don't expect one of her classes to be an easy A. She is a great teacher, and will sit down and meet with you if you need any help though. Very tough grader. If you make the slightest mistake, she will dock you points. Overall if you do the homework, and study for the tests you should be fine. Oh and follow the rubric exactly for the projects!
Very good teacher. She loves what she does and is very organised. You MUST show up for class. Online and paper homework. Projects with rubrics that she follows to a t. Make sure you study for her tests, they're really long and take up most of the class period but if you paid attention you'll do well enough. She's always happy to help and fun.
Roxanne Klassen might just be the BEST math teacher I have ever had! She actually helps you! With students having trouble, she will try her best to "dumb it down" so the student will better understand. Every time I go to her class I have a great time. Did I mention math isn't my favorite subject? With her math is fun.. for once.
She makes sure everyone participates and is involved. She is always willing to help in any areas you need
MRS KLASSEN WAS GREAT! EXPECT SOME HOMEWORK DURING THE WEEK BUT VERY EASY CLASS. SHE GIVES YOU A STUDY GUIDE OF QUESTIONS EXACTLY LIKE THE TEST AND EXPLAINS EVERYTHING GREATLY. JUST GO TO CLASS AND YOU WILL KNOW EVERYTHING AND GET AN A
Best math teacher I have ever had! She is very structured. Allowed me to work ahead in the class. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat!
One of the best math professors I have ever taken. If she taught the next level up, I would definitely take it with her. She is very realistic from the beginning. She wants all of her students to pass and gives you many opportunities to get help. As long as you keep up with the homework and study for the tests, you will be fine.
Roxanne makes class interesting, very funny, and keeps class entertaining with her wit, it's easy to pay attention, she makes math fun. My advice if you take her, especially this class, do not miss class, you will miss too much info that will reflect on your test score. She also gives a ton of homework. Its not hard homework but time consuming.
Best math teacher I've ever had! Explains things very well and is super available for one on one study sessions or if you just need a little extra help. You will not go wrong with this professor. It is math so prepare for lots of homework.
Roxanne is the best math teacher I have ever had. She really knows what she's talking about and she explains everything well. Everything that was on her tests was talked about in class and she was always available to help if you needed it. Amazing professor and amazing course!
She's very upfront from the beginning. She will drop mf'ers if they are constantly late or absent. Tests are hard, she likes to make you think and apply what you've learned. It wasn't an easy class but it wasn't extremely hard eithe. Just put in the work and you can pass. Got an A!
Roxanne is great at teaching the meaning behind math. She provides a lot of homework but it really helps with the concepts. She is great at teaching but sometimes there are questions in the online homework that she does not cover in class. She is really funny though. Make sure you come to every class!
Absolutely loved this teacher. She will teach you everything you need to know to succeed and does it in many way for you to understand. Highly recommend her to anyone. Just do your homework and actually want to learn the material and you will pass no problem.
Roxanne is the best. However, that does not mean this class is easy. She turns everything you knew about math upside down so that you truly UNDERSTAND the math. She is funny, and engaging and she is always there for feedback when you need it. It can be very difficult to learn problem solving but she will make sure you get it in the end.
I liked Professor Klassen a lot. She was very knowledgeable about teaching kids math. Her tests were pretty hard but if you paid attention, took good note, studied and did your homework you could do pretty good on them. She does assign a lot of homework, pretty much homework everyday, it necessary to learn the content though.
The worst teacher I've had in college. She's strict and not lenient. The tests are hard and she doesn't give you the right prep for it. Her directions on assignments are often unclear. She accepted an assignment I turned in 5 mins late because of technical issues but said she would not do it again. She cares about grammar too much for a math class.
Not looking for an easy way out of school, but she was all over the place. For MAT256 she does not really teach the criteria that she puts on the exams. She keeps you past class time which is so rude. Very precise, everything has to be her her way! Did I learn a lot in her class? Yes. But I however dont feel 100% comfortable with the new info.
I had Roxanne for both 256 and 257. Absolutely AMAZING teacher! By far my favorite at MCC. She is not easy, but that's because of 1. the content, and 2. she wants her students to push themselves to improve. She does everything she can to help her students. I learned SO much from those classes, and I use that knowledge a lot when working with kids!
Great profesor, very forward, hilarious,made math boot camp fun and gave great examples, explained in detail.
I LOVE the way she teaches, she uses crafts and creative ways to help you remember the material. Shes kind and respectful but can be tough when needed. Overall a really great teacher.
This professor will give 4 exams and a final. She is a tough professor and dislike when people come into class late. She also requires at the beginning of the semester to have a composition book to follow along and keep up with notes and information from each section weve completed during the semester.
The textbook she uses is free for the students because she uses a program called MOER. It has been very helpful with saving money but still getting the right information. I have not gotten an A in a math class in a long time, but thanks to her, I was able to achieve an A. One of my most favorite teachers ever!
I would definitely reconsider taking this class online. The experience maybe different in person. A nice person, but would have preferred a textbook with more expansive explanations than creating one from her slideshow. Saving money on EVERY course isn't that important. Especially for a subject we may really need as future teachers.
This class was tough at times, but Roxanne really helped me push through it. She gives great feedback for you to go back and review. Only had 2 tests (the midterm and final) which were about 15 questions each. Overall, this class has helped me with my students so much already!
I am 100% that girl, who hates math, and looks at numbers and they jumble together. Not dyslexic or have anything going on with me, but numbers dont make sense. Professor Klassen makes you feel good individually and as a class. This is my first professor where I actually felt they wanted me to pass. TAKE HER CLASS. Take her CLASS NOW!
Wonderful Instructor! She's very a quirky person and emphasizes team work in her classroom. She really cares how youre doing in the course and will do her best to help you succeed as long as you put in the effort. Her class was my favorite this past semester even though math is my least favorite subject.
Keeps the class past the time allowed. Definitely has her favorites. Has used inappropriate language during class times. Will not work with certain students who experience uncontrollable circumstances life mishaps. If having a bad day, she may lash out on certain students. Reports have been made to the Math department on more than one occasion.
Worst professor I've ever had. This class, when taken online at least, has the most homework I've ever received in a singular class. It is nearly impossible to keep up with it all. She is a very hard grader and will take points off of everything; she is very negative. I plan on complaining about this to Mesa Community College. Stay far, far away.
She is a nice person. But as a professor, I will never take a course of hers again. If you struggle even the slightest in math do not take her. Be prepared to have 7-10 long and time consuming assignments due every week. She won't help you even though she says to email. I've even gone as far as getting outside help from other professors. good luck
DO NOT take Professor Klassen. If you have options to take someone else I highly suggest doing it! The workload is extremely heavy and difficult, the grading is tough, and you will be treated like a toddler. She doesnt work well with students who dont understand math and makes you feel stupid all the time.
I LOVE ROXANNE! She is an amazing instructor. She has definitely made me realize that Education is the right career choice for myself. She's helpful, gives great feedback and is very funny. Class is not easy AT ALL. Heavy work load and heavy lectures but she makes it feel so easy. Definitely recommend her. Don't take online, that'd be a disaster.
Professor Klassen is a nice individual. I just wont ever take a course with her again and I highly suggest not to take her online course! Its brutal. The workload was insane, grading was tough, and you basically teach yourself by following vague power-points with no math book. Google will be your friend! If you can, take another Professor.
Professor Klassen is great! You really have to put effort and communicate with her. She doesn't take excuses and is a stickler on her policies. She is a tough grader but allows you to redo stuff if needed. Online is difficult with the workload but it's also manageable if you organize your time and schedule. Just be prepared to do a lot of work.
This is my very first time getting an A in a math class. She works hard to make sure no one fails her class however you also have to put in the work to not fail the class yourself. She is very funny and helpful.
Roxanne is literally the sweetest human alive. She incorporates "Meditation Mondays" in to class to keep everyone at ease and relaxed. She works with you if you ever have something come up. Great lectures, takes time to explain everything, pretty easy tests/quizzes. Definitely take her course.
Mrs. Klassen is a great human being, very nice. As for my learning style did not go well with this class. She is a tough grader. One mistake can be 2-3 points off an assignment. Midterms/Finals are hard, be ready to actually demonstrate everything you have learned. About 7-9 assignments weekly so prepare. Other than that great professor.
Professor Klassen is a great, inspiring teacher. She definitely expects a lot out of her students, but all of the work I have completed in her class has prepared me in the best of ways to become a teacher myself. She is kind, respectful, funny, and motivating. I would take this class if you are looking to learn!! It is no joke!
I've never done well in math courses before and I'm so glad I took this course. It was easy if you put in work. She had multiple assignments throughout the week, but they could be done over until a correct answer was given. The hardest parts were the tests but the reviews are an exact replica of the test. If you struggle with math, take this class!
For my 8 week course I had 16 assignments every single week sometimes more. Very hard on grading. Expects 12 hours a week outside of class for just her class. If you dont have a lot of time, take other course, or work fulltime do not take this course. You will struggle. A lot of long nights with the work overload.
She was really helpful and friendly. Lots of homework but it does help you understand. I took MAT 146 but it did not list it on the place to select a class.
Mrs. Klassen is an amazing professor, if you have time do the assignments over the weekend. She cares for her students and wants you to succeed. the problems discussed in class are very similar to the homework.
I genuinely think she is a nice person and she knows what she's doing, but holy moly is she a difficult professor. She is a VERY tough grader and knitpicks like her life depends on it, and it's little things too which I think makes it even more frustrating. Expect to lose anywhere from 4-8 points per assignment unless your work is perfect.
I took math 256 and 257 online.Her class is hard work, assignments can be difficult. Always provides a clear instruction and is available to help 24/7.Most caring professor, and really just wants her students to succeed and helps so much.After this class,I understand concepts of math in a way I never had before. Such an amazing professor!!!
I can not say enough good things about her. She is one of the few teachers that will not allow you to fail. She works great with her students and her class was so fun to take. I hate math and I've never had such a good grade in her class. Homework is really easy.
Overall, she is an excellent teacher & genuinely cares about her students. Concepts were explained well & reinforced with assignments & group work. Fairly laidback, but definitely expects her students to make the jump from being high school children to college adults.
Amazing professor. I have never done well in math; Professor Klassen made it easy for me to understand the work. This is a credit heavy course and does require a lot of homework. Professor Klassen has no issues helping you succeed if you put forward the effort. If I was required to take any more math, I would take her again in a heartbeat.
The workload in this class is quite heavy, with 4 due in one day. Grading is tough, and the professor can be very picky, even marking small mistakes as wrong and providing little feedback. The amount of work has caused me to feel overwhelmed and experience frequent headaches.If given the chance, I would not choose this professor again.
This teacher is a very hard greater there's like four to six assignments due each week. For,finals/ midterms it feels like you don't have no time to really study what you need to. She is very harsh on grading, and her videos feel like it don't really help as you are mostly teaching yourself with videos and Google to really understand the concepts.
The teacher's course involves a midterm and final, consisting of oral and canvas exams. The oral exam requires a Zoom meeting, with follow-up questions, and a strict grader. Minor details may result in points deductions. Late work is not accepted, even minutes after the due date. She has no sympathy whatsoever.
The course can get confusing with little feedback from the professor. No late work was accepted no matter the circumstance. Only two extra credit chances. Very tough grader. Lots of homework expect to spend several hours on it. Mandatory class notebook. A couple of group projects. Midterm and final exam consisted of two parts each, zoom and canvas
She's an amazing professor that is always willing to help. An assignment is given almost everyday but they are very easy.
Amazing professor who actually relates math to real world scenarios. She's super smart, helpful, and passionate about her work. She has virtual and in person office hours on weekdays. Responds quickly to emails, grades fast, and walks around the classroom to see how her students are doing. She tells us about the resources and events in MCC.
she made me cry
She will just give you an assignment and say figure it out. She is a very harsh grader and will not give you any info on how to improve. The midterm and final are brutal. You have to do a 30 minute oral exam and teach her math problems when she didn't even teach you how to do it in the first place. Never take one of her classes.
Hands down my favorite teacher! I took her class in person and would say if you pay attention and do the homework you will pass. She does give time consuming homework but its only to help you. She gives you the opportunity to go to the tutoring center for extra points. I would retake her class she's very nice and helpful.
