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.

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 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

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 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.
