For an 9:00 am class, she found ways to make math fun. She creates these different types of math dances and tells corny jokes. You have to make sure you does the correct hw prob on the board and she solves the prob correctly. Pre-calc is a hard class but she is always willing to stay after class to answer any questions.

I don't know why ppl said that she is a great professor and her tests comes from home work and notes!! I got an "a" but her tests are damn hard and she puts "thinking problems"!! Her grading sucks also!! She does too many mistakes while she teaches and student usually correct her!! But if u do the same mistake on the test she takes bump u down!!

Professor Furmuly is a wonderful person and teacher. She is extremely smart, and truly has a kind heart. She is very beautiful as well. Personally, I loved her a lot, I think she is the best teacher I have ever had i my entire life. You will learn real math with her. Highly Recommend her!

She doesn't seem to like the idea of online courses and it showed in her attitude/commitment to the class. Overall average. Attendance is optional if you do well on homework. Chapter tests were medium difficulty, midterm/final were easier. Everything is from the online homework, really no need to buy the book. Be capable of learning on your own.

I loved her class unlike some others in my class. She really helps you w/ everything. Her tests require some extra practice. It's fair when some teacher teaches well and tests are a bit hard than a teacher teaching terrible and tests being hard. I received an A cuz I really understood everything she taught in class. HW's help for quizzes and tests.

Took her class purely online. She had many resources available to help students and the homework and quizzes werent too difficult. Things got alittle confusing in the end resulting me getting a D in the class. If the confusion wasnt there, i would have passed the class.

Professor Furmuly is an amazing professor! There is nothing unclear about this class; do the homework(you will have some every night), take good notes and be on time(she hates when you're late and she does participation problems in the first 10 minutes of class) and you will be fine. Go see her in her office whenever you can, it helps so much!

All the homework is online and easy (if you take great notes during her class, I wrote down everything she would write on the board). Tests shouldn't be hard if you never or rarely miss class.

Professor Furmuly is a good math professor who knows the topic she teaches. She is not lenient though, choosing not to drop any tests or curb even if over half the class fails the test. Her tests are tough as well, yet she teaches the class well enough to where you will most likely do well (I stink at math, so it was frustrating beyond belief).
