this teacher is really easy. no homeworks, no quizzes. only 5 tests pluse a final. she drops the lowest score on the test. she reviews for each test and for the final as well.
She's a very good teacher.5 tests, drop the lowest. Goes over everything before each test. I would reccomend her.
Best math teacher i ever had. She really knows her stuff and can teach others, too. I recommend her all the time to other students. She has made me like math!
Prof. Ealba is by far the best math teacher I've had! She knows the subject inside and out, yet teaches it with precision and grace. Whatever she teaches in class, will be on the test and she drops the lowest test score...what's not to love about that?
the best math teacher at hfcc. u dont need to do hw, tests r easy and r the same as the review except different numbers. she explain well and is easy to understand. there r only test, no quizes or hw
one of the best teachers i ever had at this school. she explains every subject very well and gives examples that will be on the test. she drops your lowest score and her final is pretty easy. plus no homework to turn in ever. i ended up getting an A!
very good!!!
Yes she is easy, but who wants to be graded solely on tests? She jumps straight to problems in the book and does not explain concepts! Everyone here is saying she is easy, take her... true, but when you move up to Calc, have fun 'cuz if you don't have her, you won't have a clue as to what's going on

The most boring, un-interesting teacher you will ever have. She does not explain math concepts, she just does the problems and expects you to know how she did them. Grade is solely based on 7 tests. Doesnt explain anything and doesnt care. One of the worst teachers I have ever had.
This class met 5 days a week and she still did not know anyones name at the end of the semester, including mine, which i attended every class session. She NEVER lets you try a problem in class, then explain how to do it. Never calls on discussion! Scatters tests papers on table to pickup, no privacy
She is the easist teacher. She simplifies the problem for you, and makes it easier for you to understand the problems. So what if she doesnt assign homework or puts you on the spot, at the end you will understand the material.She's also very nice, doesnt try to make herslef seem as if she's smarter.
YOu will pass with A but no good base in math for precalc I took with her for 1 week too easy she was so I took it with Kelley for better base in Mathmatics she is very easy but u pay to learn not to pass
Loved her. Very helpful. Great teacher.
RE-TARD-ED. THIS WOMAN NEVER COMPLETES HER SENTENCES... I THOUGHT I WAS IN COLLEGE MATH NOT ELEMENTARY MATH.. IYE YIE YIE..
she is not all that kool. she makes jokes and no one laughs at them but herself
a very good teacher , but when it comes to taking test. she takes alot of points off. if you made a small error. example. . i forget a negative sign . she took 8 points off. the problem was worth 10. The Final was not easy. but i still get an A
this teacher does explain everything but for some reason more then half of the class ends up getting bad greades after taking a test.overall u will pass but not with alot of knowldge. she snaps alot for no damn reason and dosnt remmber names cuse she never takes attendence..
i heard good things about her but i didnt like her. I loved math before i went to her class after that i never want to take math again. She sucks, shes heartless and doesnt give a darn about anyone. DONT TAKE HER. Shes a waste of your money.
I had finally gotten comfortable taking math, but when I took this instructor I would leave her class feeling stupid. Take this teacher if you have a good understang of the concepts, if you don't please don't take her . She will not explain the concepts throughly no matter if you ask
She is very knowledgable in math, but she speeds through the material extremely fast, I think if she gave students time to figure out the problems before she answers them we would do better on the exams. But she will show you what u are doing wrong. I enjoy her as a teacher.
Booooooring! I could bring a bed,blanket,and a pillow. This class makes me to fall asleep faster in 60 seconds.
Good Teacher, Works through examples thoroughly. Only uses test scores for grade, no attendance. Perfect class for self-motivated people.
Best math teacher I ever had. Made math fun and interesting
Very good teacher! Only problem is that she makes you do good on your tests to pass successfully. I like teachers who assign homework to go along with tests. Passed her class with an A, but had to work my butt off to get that A, because I am a math education major.
A very good teacher. She is very clear, concise and teaches very well. In my opinion, she seemed to take her time. She uses easy examples and hard examples. She gives you an almost exact replica of what the test will look like a day prior to the test. You will not be disappointed having her as a teacher.
Good teacher, tests are exactly what she goes over all week. Gives homework, but does not grade it.
teaches to her test
Mrs. Ealba not that great teacher I took her in spring I got an A in class but by my effort. I m not planing to take her for Math 175 because when she teches won't give any example from book just repeating doing all math problems. This teacher not good if anyone else taking advance Match classes :) .
really good teacher. takes her time and explains exactly wats gonna b on test. definitely recommend
SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST MATH TEACHEACHERS IN HFCC. I RECOMMEND HER TO ANY ONE.. SPECIALY MY FRIENDS..
i tooked math 100 with her and it was super easy no homework no work it was very easy i didnt even get the book and i got A plus she gives a bonus points for the tests .i liked her class
She was very rude and the class was very boring. She didnt teach she just went over the stuff as if you already knew it. This class is not good if you have never had algebra or really need help.You cant ask any questions she will just ignore youy
easy!!!!!! she tells you what u need to know for the test by going over old tests.
Mrs Elba is by far the best math professor in Henry Ford. she knows her stuff. Even if you suck at math problems she would make you love math. if your smart you would take her.
Excellent teacher. Among the best math instructors I've had at this school. Homework isn't graded, so the grade relies entirely on test scores... but the review sessions prior to each test is very thorough.
great teacher very helpful and very nice. she makes it easy to pass the worst subject in the world!!
what should i say! she is extremely great teacher,the way she teach is awesome,she turns hard problem into very interesting way so you understand very well & never gonna forget for your whole life,which is very usefull for next math class.If anyone wanna get "A" even not good in maths should take her she gonna make you like maths.
Ms. Elba is one awesome teacher. I don't understand some of the comments here. She was very clear and helpful. It is true she does go fast, but you have to tell her to slow down. I HIGHLY recomment her!
I was never a math fan, I was actually scared of it. After this class not only understand it, I really liked it. She is the best teacher and will change anyones perspective on math. If you have to take math make it with her.
An awesome teacher!! I've had a lot of math so most of what we covered was review for me. She's really easy and if you don't understand something you can ask her. The tests are easy too if you paid attention in class. Doing the homework assignments are optional since she never checks it. You do it for review if you need it.
she is a very good teacher...does a very good job of explaining..and she gives practice tests before the real test which is very helpful..gets you ready for tests..attendence and hwk is not graded..take her
The best math teacher ever. Mrs. Elba has the biggest heart, and is so helpful. No matter what math level you are she will make sure you get an A. She will go above and beyond to make sure everyone understands all the material. The best teacher I've ever had!
Very good teacher do your work and study for the tests you will do fine. Not strict on attendance. Teaches a little fast but ask if you don't understand. She will be more than happy to help you.
excellent teacher!!! loved her and her class...
Great instructor. No required homework and she teaches very well. She does 2 days of review (uses old exams from previous classes) before the test. I took her for 175 and it was super easy.
greeat teacher, just pay attention..i recommend her 50 minute class thats 5 days a week..its easier than takin a 2 hr class...enjoy :)super easy A
MRs.EAlba was great! Her reviews before the exam are just like the tests so pay attention! Easy class to pass!!
Excellent teacher,helpful and nice but unfair on grading
Awesome. She makes the precalc so clear. I HATE math. I barely passed college algebra with a C and I am doing great in her class. She gives you a copy of an old test to study for the upcoming test from. It is the exact same question format with different numbers. If you are like me and hate math, take it with her because she is amazing!!!!!!!!
She's the best math teacher I ever had!!!! She is very funny at times and very clear and easy to understand. I've always hated math but she has really changed that. Because of her I am now getting my first A in math. She gives extra credit before each test and gives you a old test to study from. No surprises very straight foward! I loved her class!
Great Teacher, very helpful. Prepares you for future math classes. Great lady to talk to.
Homework is not collected or checked, but it is to your own benefit. so do it if you can. Tests are fair, she grades fair, too. Always helps, kind of a smart alec but she is a really nice person. Just respect her and you'll get it back. I recommend her if you need math but have an overload of work with other classes.
This is the best math teacher I have ever had. I am really terrible in math but she has explaind it so well that I am getting an A. No required homework very fair grading.
Honestly, I had to teach myself math because of her. If you have no understanding of basic algebra prior to taking this class, then don't take her. She is an Easy "A" IFFF, you are already good in math. She messed up my record and made a DR present. Take my 4.0 gpa word for it. I would say she wass good if she was but she could of cared less.
She is not a fair grader!If something is worth 5 points and you set the equation up right but typed it in wrong on your calculator, maybe you missed a parenthesis, its -4points, thats her idea of half credit. She uses really easy questions when she takes notes but when you take the test, the questions are ridiculously hard. The final was awful too.
she is good teacher, fair, considerate, and helpful. she made me like math and kept it simple to understsand. i would highly recommend her to other students
I recently took this professor for pre-calc and it was the biggest mistake of my life. This teacher does a very horrible job of preparing you for her rediculously hard tests, and she is byfar the most unfair grader I have ever met. Also, do not ask questions EVEN IF CONFUSED because she will isolate and make a complete fool out of you! DONT TAKE HE
Math is not an easy subject for some so if you keep up with studying and take good notes her test will be a breeze. If not don't blame her for it...... Highly recommended
I'm taking Mrs. Ealba right now for Precalc at HFCC and she's a great teacher. She only teaches you what you need to know and skips over the stupid extra stuff that gets put in the book. She may be a little quick when explaining, but as long as you're paying attention you're fine. She even walks you through an old exam the class before a test.
Great teacher, always willing to answer students questions even if the question is stupied. Her tests are easy and will pass if you attend and pay attintion. She's always willing to help and even give bonus points. Throws out one test and replaces it with MyMathLab score. An easy A
OMG!I JUST FINISHED TAKING HER FINAL AND IM STILL IN PAIN!SHE DOESNT PREPARE YOU FOR SHIT! HER EXAMS ARE ALL SOOOO EASY TO BUT HER FINAL WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE. DONT GET THE BOOK BECAUSE I DID GREAT ON MY EXAMS WITHOUT IT. IF U NEED TO GO HIGHER IN UR MATH DONT TAKE HER!but if precalc is ur last math then take her, do good on exams and failfina
i cant believe she gave us a final that looked nothing like the examples or past test questions that makes me sooo upset that!WHAT A B****!she is soo mean and rude!dont even ask any questions in cloass cause she will make u look dumb and she gets annoyed! seriously if she doesnt like her job then why does she still teach!!!! do not take this teache
HER EXAMS ARE OKAY THROUGH OUT THE SEMESTER SHE GIVES YOU 5 EXAMS EACH WORTH 100 AND HER FINAL IS WORTH 200 AND SHE DROPS LOWEST EXAM FOR MYMATHLAB DO REALLY WELL ON THE EXAMS B/C U WILL FAIL THE FINAL THE QUESTIONS ON THE FINAL DO NOT LOOK EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT WE WORKED ON IN CLASS. BAD TEACHER!CHOOSE A TEACHER THAT CAN TEACH AND THAT DOESNT LIE!!!!
Dont know where to start Ms. Ealba is amazing I mean her class is very easy you have to come to class if u dont u will be lost in the next section tests are not multiple choice but she teachs you step by step on each problem and shows u easy ways I highly recommend this teacher to anyone if u want to understand math really well
got an A in the class. Easy class, lets you use your calculator(CHEAT) but explains the types of problems very clearly. The day before the test, she practically gives the test to you, just changes the numbers around in the problems. Helpful lady, lets the class out early, good teacher.
I'm not sure what these other students mean about Mrs. Ealba being bad, not helpful, totally hard final, etc. I found her to be the best math teacher I ever had!! Her final was hard but covered what she told us it would. I found her helpful and dedicated. I highly recommend you take her - you will not be disappointed!
GREAT TEACHER SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL..SHE GOES OVER THE MATH THAT EVEN A SECOND GRADER COULD UNDERSTAND IF U FAIL..THEN U JUST DON'T KNOW MATH :-)!!!
Amazing teacher!!! One of the best I've ever had in math! She's so enthusiastic and she is more than willing to help you with things you don't understand! She's friendly and she makes funny comments about long math problems like oh this is an ugly one. My advice is always listen to her when she tells you a certain problems on the test and practice!
She is a pretty easy teacher. Somewhat funny. I would take her for Math 180 if she taught it. Only explains it one way, doesnt know too many other ways to teach. Shes nice and does her best to help out her students.
Shes a really good teacher. tests are sooo easy, I didnt even open my book up once! The only thing you may not like about her is that she talk A LOT!
I was so scared to take precalculus but Ealba has made it very pleasant and easy so far. She is easy to understand and helps us to get the material. Her first test was just as she told. She makes class fun and really seems to know her stuff. I would recommend her highly.
She is one of the best teachers for math. She makes math so easy, and before the test she gives a review similar to the test. Attendance is not mandatory in her class. The best thing in her class is that she leaves the online homeworks open for the whole semester.
She is very knowledgeable of the subject, but she is can get tricky on her test. Besides that, she hates answering questions, and gets angry quickly even though she tries to hide it.
Easy teacher. Does seem to get annoyed sometimes when you ask questions but she does leave the online HW up till the semester ends which is great!!
If you failed any of her math classes, that means you failed to study because I hate math with the passion but Mrs.Ealba showed me ways to love it again. Like I said, easy teacher just make sure you do your part and she'll do hers.
Ms. Ealba really knows what she's talking about. Her lectures are extremely comprehensible and interesting. Her handwriting is extremely neat and she lectures from her desk, on the ELMO camera with a paper and pen so if you miss class you can get the notes easily. TAKE HER, you wont regret it. Only downfall: her final was kind of hard.
She was very thorough, always gave simple to the point instructions. A lot of practicing problems, and doing math, rather then reading us definitions, and assuming we know everything. It can get boring, but what math class doesn't? She's a good teacher, I took her for two different math classes, and I hate math, and I passed both. A good prof!
She hates answering questions by students. Her tests she say show all work and i do and others do too, and then you see her looking at answers only. Unfair by her grading.She needs to get student involved in her teaching. Best not take her. Without communication between teacher and student, learning is hard!
Mrs. Ealba is an excellect teacher all you have to do is attend class everyday and take good notes and study.she always does a review before every test. Her method of solving math problems made me like math wish I could take her for math 103
Overall she was a easy teacher. Her study guide is same thing as the tests that she would give us except she would change the numbers. I would recommend anyone to take her for math.
She was very helpful!!! Passed her class with no problem! If you come to class everyday she will solve each of the problems step by step by step so that you will pass each test.
Easy A if u study I wish she teaches Calc 1
she is by far the best math teacher ever. She will go over every problem step by step. It gets boring in class but I totally ADVICE you to take her. You wont regret it.
Excellent teacher, Best Math teacher I have had. If she is available you need to take her, gets boring in class because she hammers everything into your head so you don't forget. Reviews the whole class before every test and uses old tests to review so you know whats on the tests. Do a little practice at home and you should have no problem passing!
One of the best professors from HFCC, just do your homework and practice problems and you'll get an A or B. She'll let you know what subjects to study for each test. She explains things very well like if you have not seen math for years.
I did not like her teaching methods at all, there's no communication between her and the students which made class even more boring than it needs to be.She also teaches a diff method than the book which makes the book useless to buy. If you like asking questions and communicating, shes not right for you.
Do not take her unless you have too. She teaches with Sarcasm and expects you to understand what she is teaching. Horrible grader. She will take points away for not simplifying( EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE CORRECT ANSWER). A couple points can make a big difference from a C to a B on a test. Not a teacher that interacts with her students.
Took her for precalc and she wasn't that bad, passed all of my tests with B's and As and one D and got a B as a grade. Just sit at the front and pay attention, take notes, her notes and examples are sometimes similar to the tests.
I thought it was going to be fun. She walks in, sits down, and begins her marathon of notes. She explains well. I learned a lot more than I did in 110, but when she gives an example, she doesn't give you a chance to practice it for a min by yourself. She just does it and talks all hour. No communication, no interaction. YOU DO NOT NEED THE BOOK!!!!
Professor Ealba is a very kind and nice lady I loved her teaching she is very easy its true no communication between her and the students just does her lesson and leaves you need help she will help. She is a picky grader and wants everything perfect. but overall great taking her again for 175. I skipped a couple of times doesn't care if u come
This class was an Easy A. Anyone with any prior knowledge of math can pass the class without even trying. Her classes consisted of watching her work problems all class. She gives you old tests and just changes the numbers for the actual test. Make sure to be familiar with the criteria and you'll be fine.
Best math teacher, she goes over old tests which are the same as the test except differnt numbers. Her lectures are straight up. tells you everything you need. no book and got an easy A
Simple mistake can cost you points on exams otherwise she is on point.
She's not one to give you much help unless you constantly show her you need help. She shows you tests from her previous classes but they are much different than your tests. Tests started off easy but got extremely difficult as the class went on. If you've been good at math in the past you'll be fine, but other wise this will be very challenging.
She keeps to herself most of the time, doesn't wanna hear about anything thats not math. She does give homework, takes her time in explaining the problems, and asks if anyone needs further explanation. overall its an easy class. Just study and do your homework and you'll be fine.
Amazing math professor, makes it very easy to understand and is clear on what is expected of you. She makes you like math. Any math class you want to take, and she teaches it, be sure to take it with her!
I love this lady. She's probably the best or one of the best math professors on campus. Her homework is due the day of your final, and she shows you exactly what'll be on all of your test.
Such a great teacher. She broke down everything step by step she makes math easier to understand. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
You want to learn math... take her then. She has long lectures, so make sure you can sit and focus. She goes over problems many times so if you don't understand it by the time its test day... it's your fault. If you can sit and learn through examples this is the teacher for you.
Professor Elba is seriously the greatest professor ever. she is very helpful and her lectures are super clear . She's a very sweet and professional person . If she's an option for the math you're taking , don't think twice !
Very good professor, she knows what she's doing and makes math a lot easier. She gives out 5 tests throughout the semester, which aren't very hard. She also does review days before any test. If you need to take Math 175, I would really recommend her!
The best teacher.
Great Teacher, goes at a nice pace and walks you thru problem by problem. Best Math teacher I have ever had
Tests are very hard, gets mad when someone asks her a question and never gave us any time to practice inclass nor out because she said that mymathlab problems mean nothing to her and she does not solve them the same way. Was clear in giving the lessons and solving problems but no practice whaat so ever so do not take her.
great class, brings in test from previous semester as example for her tests ,,, if u pay attention its an easy A ,, no extra credit tho
She's funny and kind, unless you're disruptive. She answers all questions, even the same question that was literally just asked. She doesn't really stop anyone from talking and makes no effort to speak over them. All homework is available at the beginning of semester and due the night before the final. No cheat sheets, so study, tests can be hard.
makes it easy to learn the material
Do not take pre calc with any other teacher except her.. literally gives u the answers to the test right before u take it.. just show up, take the notes and study for her review and u will do fine.. my math lab doesnt correspond with what shes teaching.. and she hates it but still its just like extra credit.. even though its mandatory
Best math teacher I've ever had. Lecures are clear and to the point, gives examples of questions that are going to be on the test. Has a review day before the test. Very helpful, clear and willing to answer any question given. DON'T take any other teacher for pre-calc but her.
Best prof. took her for two semesters and I would take her for 100 more if she taught higher than precalc. Would recommend her to anyone but make sure you are ready to study on your own too.
Ms. Ealba is an amazing professor. MyMathlab was used to replace your lowest test score and was due at the end of the semester, no homework or quizzes, she does reviews the day before the test and takes a week to review for the final. She is a lenient grader and is very kind and patient. I wish she would teach Math 180!
4 exams, no homework, no quizzes. MathLab is due at the end of the semester & will replace lowest test score. She literally tells you what questions will be on the test. VERY clear, straight forward, funny, and nice. You do have to do some studying on your own and you will guarantee that A. I really wish she taught calc 1.
Highly recommend for precaluclus.
Great Pre-Calculus teacher, but make sure to show up to class because on days when half the class is absent (usually after an exam) she'll give the students who attended class extra credit.
Best math teacher I've had in a very long time. She's very cut and dry. All we do in class is go over the material. She's patient and very informative. She reviews all the material before each exam (including the final). She'll tell you EXACTLY what you need to work on in order to do well. Awesome professor, highly recommended.
She was a good teacher. She was very thorough with explaining how to do the math problems. When she writes up a problem for examples she does not watch you do them, instead she does them along with you while writing the steps on the board. She will drop your lowest test score and replace it with MyMathLab.
She is a REALLY good math teacher, and she helps makes it fun again. If you are confused, ask questions. She can be a tad short/rude when answering questions, but so what. Ask anyway if you want to understand and do well. I asked tons and had a 99% in the class at the end. Do the homework and try, and you will do well! TAKE HER!!
Explains things in great detail, however, when you ask a question she tends to seem annoyed that you even asked a question. Reviews for the test a day before but the questions she gives you to review seem a lot easier than the ones on the test.
she talks throughout the whole hour explaining how to do the problems and such so, but will never give you a chance to ask a question or even practice with the whole class without her jumping to do it. but she's a good teacher no homework's.
She knows her stuff and expects you to know too. She doesn't answer questions very well, and she doesn't accommodate her student's needs. She refuses to give extensions and almost no extra credit. she rarely responds to email. doesn't answer the phone. MML is not related to what we're learning, but doing it would really help.
This lady is insane. She has no care for her students. I mean she gets annoyed at the dumbest things. She never lets anyone ask a question. She expects you to know the material before the class begins. Her exams are nothing like the reviews. Her final is incredibly hard. Our whole class really hates her. I'm telling you she's very hard.
Honestly if your taking math 115 or lower go for it but if your taking precalc forget about it. I got a B but its the only class i was taking and dedicated and cheated my way in her class. I highly recommend you dont take her if your taking other classes or need an A. No make up exams and no help from her. Seems like shes ready to retire!
All I can say is Voldemort is more lenient than her.
Ealba is absolutely careless about your grades. She does not want to explain why you recieved a problem wrong or in general gets angry when asking a polite question. Her tests are tricky, they seem like you have learned them but she puts new concepts and expects you to figure it out. I worked really hard in this class, and was very close to fail.
! really do not understand most of the recent comments for this teacher! I found her to be excellent! Come to class and catch her review session before each test and you should have no problem learning the material and getting a good grade. Best math teacher I ever had!! Take her - you will not be disappointed!!
Best math teacher I've ever had. She teaches by doing repetitive examples of problems on the projector. She keeps her notes in case you miss class and need to copy them. Before every tests she tells you exactly which types of problems will be on it. If you attend every class, pay attention, and take notes you should do fine. Uses MyMathLab.
She is a very good teacher, don't get me wrong, I learned alot from her. But she has a huge problem, she doesnt respond to these dang emails, her final exam is super hard. She grades well, write anything down and she'll give you half credit on the exams.
She makes math easy! Lots of practice problems and review before tests. If you go to class you will be fine. Wish she taught Calculus. Take her!
A great professor and a real queen!
Coming from a start A student in Math, I was very disappointed. She doesn't welcome ANY questions and sometimes will not even respond. If you want an explanation why you got a certain question wrong on her exam, she really won't tell you. I don't recommend this professor at all especially if you like to ask questions.
What a great semester I had! I wAs so scared to take precalc but Ms. Elba made me like math again! She is demanding but you learn a lot. If you take her, be sure to go class and you will do okay.
Hard but good. She drop your worst test and review the day before test. Uses MyMathLab. Expects you to be in class everyday and be on time. Tough grader but gives credit for effort. I hope her final is ok next week. She did review.
This class was really simple. Her class is made of 700 points. 100 points per test (5 test total) and 200 for the final. She drops your lowest test grade for your math lab grade. Theres nothing else to the class besides those 5 test, math lab, and one final. She always reviews before each exam. She has really good teaching strategies. Very simple.
Ealba is the GREATEST math prof I've ever had. She is very nice and sarcastic. She reviews with you everyday and reviews a test from last semester before each test. She makes sure there is no stone left unturned, no surprises on her tests. Pretty much gives you an answer key to pass each test. if i could take her for calc i would.
Professor Ealba is one of the best teachers Ive ever had. If you go to class every day you can easily get an A. She goes over the exact format of the test the day before every test. There are 5 tests, she drops one and replaces it with your mymathlab score.
IDK HOW SHE DOESNT HAVE A 5.0 SHES ACTUALLY AMAZING!!! MAKES MATH SO SIMPLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE. TAKEEKEKEK HERRR
I am surprised Mrs. Ealba doesn't have a 5.0. She is very good at teaching Math. She goes into very clear detail to make sure we learn the steps to working out a math problem. I have lots of respect for her as a professor i wish all of the professors had her teaching style because she is there to teach and she is really great at it.

If you show up and take notes you get an A. She gives the exact problems that are going to be on the test but with different numbers. Very good lectures and does multiple examples of one problem. She gives partial points if she sees that you actually tried and lets students take pictures of notes.
Clear cut, straightforward. Reviews all the material you need to know in several class sessions before the exam. Take her, don't hesitate
Professor Ealba is an amazing teacher. Just make sure you show up to every class session so you don't miss anything. Her tests are just like the study guides but with different numbers. Very simple.
Very easy A. In my opinion, what a math teacher should be like. Gives plenty of examples and prepares you for the test by bringing in a test from last semester and does it for review same format just different numbers. I loved her. I wish she taught calculus!
Wow! She made the class and material doable! I was fearful of this math class but ended up I enjoyed it! Best math teacher I ever had! Take her and see for yourself! You will be glad you did!
Took her 3 hour class, lectures are needed to pass for the test, she's honestly really funny and likes to make jokes in class, very caring and understanding, loves to help students, never had a sign in sheet, just make sure to see her lectures to pass the test, gives many examples to study before the test, don't buy book because we never used it.
Shes such a great prof. She explains things thoroughly and does a billion of examples just for you to completely memorize how to do it. Ive learned so much and wish i could take her in the future. Drops your lowest test score in for ur HW. Her reviews are just like her test and final! Shes always there to help if i ever needed help. Take her!
This is one of the best professors Ive ever taken. She is very straightforward and explains each step to everything. She does study guides in class that really prepare you for the test. I would take her for every math if I could.
Honestly where do I even start with this professor, very disrespectful, doesn't allow you to ask questions avoids questions by talking about something completely different. Very strict on her exams basically gives no room for even just a passing grade. Expects you to memorize every little thing to the last letter. All around terrible experience.
I am a straight-A student, I received an A throughout the entire course until her final, she dropped my grade from an A to a C- by making the final double the work with very little time. Now I have to retake the course.
She's amazing, her way of teaching made me love math so much, I wish i had her for every other math class. She explains everything really well, she goes over a lot of examples for each topic. She goes through past exams from previous semesters with the class before the exam, so everyone should pass each exam. The best teacher out there.
Thank you, Ms. Ealba!! She was so helpful when our class moved online this semester. She made it possible for us to survive and still learn the math. You can tell she truly cares about her students. She made every effort to keep in touch with us and keep us going forward. She knows her stuff - take her!!
Summer '20. Virtual meetings. AMAZING at explaining everything. Is available for questions if send them through the chat/email. Has occasional extra credit. Very realistic about COVID situation and is somewhat understanding. Gives plenty of examples and time for exams. Reviews past semester tests day before. A bit slow but makes it easier to follow
Mathematics for me is a very easy subject But when I took the class with this teacher it was a disaster for me and it will never be repeated. She is disrespectful very bad, and ignores the questions posed to her and prefers that the student fail in class whatever the reason he is going through instead of understanding his situation and helping him
Great teacher! She has made this forced online learning possible. Her explanations are so good and her practice problems are so helpful. I love her attitude and her confidence. She will help you as long as you show you are honestly trying and attending her Zoom meetings. I would take her again and again!! You should, too!!
Shes very tough with her work but shell go easy on you when you show her effort. Shes a very strict grader and pays very close attention to how you show your work. Shes very strict on attendance so if you dont show up youll get really confused with her assignments because she does her work differently and wants it done a certain way.
Great professor, gets straight to the point. Attendance is non-mandatory but YOU NEED TO GO OR BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN. Please go to this class, you will regret it if you don't. She's an amazing instructor and I would take this class again. I wish it was in person.
When it comes to her way of teaching, she is awesome. The biggest problems that she doesn't give you nearly enough time for your big exams.
I would say she is a good teacher. She makes math a little either. The only thing i can complain about is she does not give enough time on the exams.
Literally the worst class I've ever taken. she's strict and I don't know why she makes things complicated. she's a tough grader and her tests are hard altho she gives us a study guide, not enough time to complete the exams and what we learn is different from the homework (xyzhomework)
Professor Ealba teaches very well, but you have to attend the Zoom meetings to pass this class & earn a good grade. EVERYTHING you learn in the meetings will be on the tests. Make sure to practice A LOT! Tests are timed, discussion boards have due dates, & always keep up with math lab. I thought it was impossible to get an A in math but I did it!!!
Thank you, Ms. Ealba, for helping us get through this. She is amazing! Started out tough but got us prepared for math and the whole online thing. Her lectures help so much to clear up the math and her test reviews were so helpful. Come to the Zoom meetings and learn. Online homework is tough but she gives you the entire semester to do it.
I took Math115 with Royetta and she was the best math professor I have had in college, yet. She is strict and clear about her grading. But, when she teaches she gives lots of examples that would be seen on tests. I highly recommend!!! Absolutely LOVED her!
Idky people recommend her. Her tests are NOTHING like her reviews. She would literally teach you how to solve something using ft, but on the test she changes it to yards and makes the problems 10x harder. Also, her tests r like 7 pages long. She doesn't let anyone ask questions while she's teaching and she doesnt tell u what u did wrong.
I have enjoyed my math class this semester and learned a lot because of this teacher. She is so thorough in teaching the material by giving lots of examples and going step by step. You must attend the Zoom sessions to do well on tests. She seems to really care that we learn math and get a good grade. Take her - you will not be disappointed!
Shes pretty cool when you get to know her! Ms. Ealba is thorough and makes math a lot easier. Comical yet professional with a kick of spice. You definitely have to put in the work to pass.
Well, that was fun! Really enjoyed my math class this semester. Ealba was a great teacher. Wish she was teaching calculus. Her teaching style is very thorough and easy going. She knows her stuff and wants you to learn math. Lots of practice problems and great test reviews. Its your fault if you dont pass!
Attendance isn't mandatory but just come to class every day and the workload and tests become easier for you. She literally goes over each and every problem you can possibly encounter. She is so nice and only rude to students if they disturbed the class. I took 115 with her and would 100 percent take her again if she taught calc 1 too.
I am not a math person but she really makes it seem easy. Just go to class and she will explain everything really well. She even helped me outside of class when I needed it. I am so lucky that she was my teacher and I really learned the math I need for my job.
shes the best professor on HFC for math. Im not really good in math and thought I would fail the class specially taking it on summer time. Her zoom meetings are fun and thoughtful. She always gives a review of a version test from the semester before and thats what I liked about her. I passed with A. Bless your soul, Mohamed Said.
Professor Elba is the best! She explains math really well and wants you to love it. Her Zoom sessions are fantastic. It is especially nice that we can rewatch the Zoom recordings. Her tests are tough but she goes over every type of problem as a review before the tests to prepare you. You can tell she cares about her students. Take her!
Professor Royetta Elba has been amazing and the most thing I liked about her class is that she gives similar test reviews before on session of the test which help out a lot. She has a bit of a temper but her amazing lectures and extra material she provides is amazing.
Didnt realize how great Professor Ealba was until I got to calculus. She prepared me very well and now I know how much I miss her detailed and easy to understand explanations! My calculus teach could sure get some pointers from Professor Ealba on how to teach math!
This Professor is awesome! We just had our first test and she prepared us very well. I love how she teaches. She has a great sense of humor too. Youll be glad you took her for your math class!
Professor Ealba was probably the best math teacher I have ever had! Her lectures are amazing and help so much to learn the math. She constantly reviews material so by test day I was prepared to do well. Just go to every Zoom session and you will be fine.
WORSE TEACHER EVER. She used lame language and make jokes of the students. She does not care about her students
This Professor did a great job teaching me math. She gives tons of examples and reviews the day before a test. Tests are tough but fair. Just go to the Zoom sessions and ask questions. She will help you.
I honestly wish she gave calc 1 and more because of how amazing and easy she explains. You could be not listening for so long and once you pay attention for 5mins you immediately understand everything. She also has a great way to prep you up for exams before 1 day. It would be a loss to not take her.
If you are going to take a math class this fall semester, I would recommend Prof. Elba. She is the best. She teaches math in a very simple and easy way. You will understand her. I wish she taught Calculus. Good luck.
She isn't that bad but there's only many points you can get from the class. The exams make up more of the points of the class and it's annoying. All the homework is just 100 points. She knows how to teach but she puts problems on the test that she never went over before. I wouldn't recommend unless you have no other choices.
I really like how she teach. Lots of examples and test questions are fair. She expect you to practice using her handouts in Moodle. If you put in the effort you will be fine. I highly recommend this Professor!
One of the worst teachers I've ever had. She isn't good at explaining problems at all. She just solves the problems and ignores your questions in the chat. I wouldn't reccomend taking this teacher online. I'd rate her 0 stars if I could.
I have never cried over a class, let alone math. I LOVE math but the teaching style of this professor was terrible. I really tried so hard and I AM SMART!!! Just good luck man, You need to dedicate TIMEEEEE. I have never dropped a class, bro i spent hours crying over this class. GOOD LUCK IF YOU CHOOSE HER. Mandatory attendance to every lecture.
Idk why some students rate her low. I think they do poor work and need an excuse. She gives amazing lectures and helps outside of class. She was best math teacher I ever had! I highly recommend her!
I'm shocked I passed. She posts her lecture videos after and uses her old tests as reviews. When she grades she doesn't tell you what you did wrong so you rlly cant improve from that. I cried because of this class, the tests felt extremely different from what she reviewed with us. She was my best option from the range of professors and I passed.
Prof Ealba was wonderful! So professional yet very personable. She really explains math so you can get it. She does lots of examples and reviews before tests. I wish she could be my calculus teacher!
Professor Ealba gives amazing lectures and prepares you well for tests. She goes step by step and helps you to understand how to do math problems. You must take her for Math 115!! (Or any other math class)
goat. she kinda sounds monotone and her voice will put u to sleep, but she is a great prof. just study and do ur homework. never a wrong option fr.
Where do I start off?If you're here bc she has a 5/5 pls run. The ratings deceived me and I'm making a rating myself so they become more accurate. Difficult, and I barely managed to stay awake in her class. Came from a straight-A student to someone who was crying 24/7 out of stress. She has potential but online isn't her thing. Better off in person
Why do some rate her low? She is great teacher. She know math and teach good. I struggle with math but she help me to understand. She also help me outside of class. The next topic (conic sections) looks hard!
Took this in Summer 2022. Was easy enough regarding material. Its hard taking math classes online though, especially in summer, so any other semester might've been easier. She's nice and lightly grades. She records her sessions and appreciates questions. (Never be afraid to ask questions!).
The biggest benefit of her class is the fact that she shows us a the same exam she gave out the semester before to do a practice test, its the same thing as the actual test but just different numbers. She rarely will ever answer a question another student has and could be really mean. She does open homework assignments for the entire semester.
My semester is coming to an end and I feel like I have learned a lot about math and feel prepared for Calculus. This Professor really loves being a math teacher and makes you understand the problems. It got easier as the semester went by. I think anyone would enjoy her class and learn a lot.
Ealba was my favorite teacher this semester. On one exam I though I did really bad but she gave me partial credit for what I was able to do. She is strict but knows how to teach the material thoroughly. Off-putting at first but she has a great sense of humor. Get ready to practice, especially for the final. I'd take her again, highly recommend.
Though this professor's teaching style is decent, her attitude toward students is definitely not one to be sought out. Her entire course depends on the exams which is usually fine, but she doesn't give partial credit. She is also very strict about her policies on the syllabus and gives very little leniency.
One of the best professors you can have! she explains everything so well! Her exams are also exactly like her reviews. She has zoom recordings for online classes and they are recorded for you to go back and watch. She is also very funny. Her exams are not bad at all! wonderful semester and I would definitely recommend her to everyone.
Professor Elba is super! I feel so lucky to be in her class this semester. I have heard great things about her and her teaching style.
so heres the thing. shes very ez. very easy yes she does give u an outline of the exam like the class before the exam day which is the exact same but diff numbers. BUT she's SOOO rude???? shes literally so mean to students for NO REASON and is VERY slow and makes things complicated idkk y. but ez class fss. if ur good at math just take her
Very monotone hard to pay attention because she has no inflection to her voice, Very hard grader. no room for extra credit course mostly based on exams. no credit for trying she simply marks the answer a zero.
Professor Ealba is the best math teacher! She explains so well and reviews topics over and over until you understand. She has a laid back style but still demands the best from her students. I was afraid that a class using Zoom would be more difficult but not in this case. I wish she was teaching Calculus next semester - I would take her again!
This was a demanding class but the professor was very good. There were four tests plus the final exam. There was online homework. The professor explained things well and was helpful outside if class. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Ealba was a delight! I learned so much! She made math a little bit easy for me. She really cares and gives us advice all the time. Definitely a super teacher.
Everyone said to take Ealba for your math classes. So I did for Math 110. And I can see why she was recommended after just the first two weeks. I am hoping for a very good semester.
Do not take this class with this teacher. She is very mean and rude and does not respect the students. I don't know who wrote these positive comments. She is very rude. When she goes to the exam hall, you will be confused by her rudeness. You take only four tests during the semester, and they are the ones that determine your fate of success.
I just read the last review and want to disagree with the comments. I am in the same class and attended that test. Professor Ealba was not rude or mean. She is an inspiration to me and makes me want to do good in math. She is a wonderful teacher. TAKE HER!!
Prof. Ealba has been a very good teacher. She explains things very well. I like her attitude in class. She is strict but has a caring heart. Her tests are demanding but she gives an excellent review the day before. I know I will be prepared for Calculus after taking this class. I recommend this teacher!
she's great, a little long winded but I couldn't have asked for a better teacher for math, I don't test well so I withdrew and retook my accuplacer test but she's very kind and explains everything very well. 100% take her as long as you can attend class, if you miss one session you could be so far behind. she prepares students well for tests too
math is my weakest subject tried with other profs but dropped them all she's the only one i passed with (a's & b's are easy to get if you study) class is 800 pts so try to get as many points because the final is 200 & hw is 100 there's no one easier than her, she uses practice tests that are almost identical to her tests as study guides
Do not select based off the 5/5 rating.Grade is based on very few things and you will need to study a ton.Only half the class made it through when finals time came around.
I was kinda scared to take this class over the summer but so far so good. The teacher is really good and makes the math easy. She reviews before each test. She gives four tests and the final. There is also online homework. I would recommend this teacher,
Easily the best math professor I've ever had, for both 115 & 175. Does a great job of explaining each topic & work is well structured, easy to follow & understand. I am someone who is honestly pretty bad when it comes to math and I would have struggled much more trying to learn this stuff on my own than with her. Reviews are just like the tests.
Prof. Ealba's MATH165 is challenging but rewarding. She explains concepts clearly, and her review sessions before exams are invaluable. Using unstuck study ai along with the course materials really helped me stay on top of the content.
I would like to thank her first, guys take her she's the best professor I ever had in my life her exams are so essy, and you wlak out of class you literally understand everything and if you need help just go ask her and will hlep you easy A. I took math 110,165.
She reviews these “study guides” before the exam and you always think that you're good for the test but, if you get one little thing wrong on the test she will mark it wrong. No partial credit, so rude when you ask questions and she tries to make you feel dumb when you do ask. Rough grader on test- your whole grade with technically be from ur exams
Extremely rude and unprofessional. Do not care to answer students questions and will try to embarrass you before she does. Very negative
I am in Math 115 right now and struggling a bit. But I have hopes because this teacher seems to care so much and gives us study guides. If you go to her classes and practice a lot, you will learn math. Excellent lectures and helpful handouts. Wish me luck!
This Professor took over our class when our original teacher became sick. I was sure I would have trouble adjusting to a new teacher. But she was great. Explained everything very well and understood our situation. I would take this teacher again for another math class.
This professors class is heavily based off how you do on the exams. Does not offer extra credit and the homework assigned is only worth a small percentage of your final grade. What we do on homework is not the same as what we learn in the lectures. Teacher sometime makes you feel bad for asking simple questions.
Professor does not offer any type of extra credit. Final grade in this class is based off how you do on exams. This professor can come off as rude sometimes when asking simple questions. I don't understand the good reviews, a lot of classmates complained of her work and attitude.
She is a good teacher and will teach you well but is rude and has a tendency to screw you over on her exams by giving curve ball questions to throw you around and lose some points. No extra credit is given but does give partial points for your proven work. Over all take her class since she is a good teacher but remember she kinda is a sometimes
Ealba is the best! She cares and is funny. So good at teaching math! I should have done better in the class but that was my problem. Four tests plus a final helped to spread the material out over the semester. Take her!
Professor Elba teaches very well. She is determined to prepare you for calculus. Lots to memorize and tough tests. Go to class and take good notes. Her tests are very much like the problems she does in class. And keep up with the online homework. You will learn so much!
If you need to learn how to factor, thus is the teacher to take! She stresses factoring and gives lots of practice. I thought four tests and a final was about right. You have to go to campus for all tests. Zoom recordings were great if you needed to review a lecture before a test. She explains math in an easy to understand way.
This was probably the best math teacher I have ever had! So easy to understand. She also gives great advice for careers and school requirements. She really cares about her students!
I wouldn't recommend this professor. Her monotone voice makes it hard to stay focused, doesn't say things in detail and expects you to already understand everything. If you ask her a question she makes you feel stupid in front of the class which only makes it uncomfortable to ask for help. If you don't get it right away, you're kind of left behind.
I am struggling in class. Don't have a good math background but trying my best. First test was hard. But I do think this teacher is a good one. I just need more time to adjust. The teacher thorough and expects a lot from students. It is demanding class! Make sure your prepared!
Professor Elba is very good at explaining things. She tries to make math easy. She reviews a lot. Her tests are fair. She answers all questions we have. I like her way of teaching. I learn a lot. I recommend her.
This is an amazing teacher. She explains everything really well and expects you to understand how to do the problems. There are four tests, a final exam and online homework. She gives a great review before each test that looks a lot like the test you get. Some students don't come to class and then complain how hard she is. It's their fault.
Took one summer for a credit for uni and is honestly one of the worst professors out there. Will push you to ask questions, yet publicly shames you for them. Reads former students emails out loud and clowns them for it. Many students cheat during exams but if you're favored, she won't care. Was honestly exhausting going to her zoom lectures.
Literally 4 tests and thats all you get. She is very rude for no apparent reason and just loves not caring for others. Her zooms showed lots of steps but 90% of the time she would skip a few steps and just never mention how she got there or why. You are going to be clueless.
Shes a good professor, she keeps you engaged during the lectures. However, its 4 tests and the homework and thats all you get for you grade. Homework is 100 points and each exam is 124 points. Was a bit difficult with the lectures being online and limited office hours. You must study daily to do well.
She is a good math teacher and a kind person. I loved her! You should take one of her classes if you need encouragement and help in math. She expects questions from students and doesn't pull any punches. She is honest and helpful. Not a bad choice! I'm going to take her for Nath 175 next.
Her class consists of 2 lectures a week, and an exam a month. The whole grade depends on the exams and each 125 points and the hw is only 100 points. She is extremely sassy and rude and make you feel dumb when you ask a question. However I will not completely bash her, ]gives many examples and gives an almost replica of the exam a day before it.
Just got my grade for Math115 and I could not be happier! Thanks to this awesome teacher I finally understand math so much better. Take her!!
This was the first professor who made math make sense to me. She explains everything clearly and makes difficult topics feel simple. There were 4 quizzes (125 pts each), a final (200 pts), and homework (100 pts). Online HW wasn't helpful—just focus on her lectures. I rewatched them to study and did great. I'll take her again!
So glad I completed this math class this summer and was fortunate enough to have Professor Ealba. She was so helpful and gave amazing lectures. I just wish she was teaching Calculus next. I had never taken a math class over Zoom but it worked out great!
Delightful!! I was a guest student for the summer semester and was delightfully surprised with my PreCalculus teacher. She made math easy for me. She cared about her students. She was a very nice person. I highly recommend her.
This teacher is easy to understand and does lots of problems in class. Classes are too long and boring sometimes. Luckily tests are very much like her lectures. Just go to class and try to pay attention. She gets angry when students are late or absent. She seems to be a nice person and cares about you learning math. I would take her again.
Ms. Ealba is an average professor; she does a thorough job with lectures and gives the whole semester to do the xyz online homework. The only issue is that she can be cranky at times, and the class is extremely test-based. As long as you're willing to study and can tolerate a little crankiness, consider this professor.
This professor is so nice. She's really sweet and her materials are easy and basically they are the same as how the exam are going to be like. And since the class is two hours long and same for exams, I just wish she provides more equations in the exams than a max of 10 or 11 since they be worth a lot. So little mistake will bring score down fast.
wow, she's great! a very kind of sarcastic humor, she has great lectures and lowk made me like math again, which is great considering the fact I'll be taking calculus soon, I'll definitely take her again. She made me learn so much so easily, despite it being online lectures (and while online math isn't easy, she made it easy); take her!!
Pros 1) HW is due at the end of the semester 2) Emails and grade updates are very quick 3) Tests (including the final) shirt and sweet. Cons 1) Not really accessable outside of class you will need to go see a tutor 2) She can come off as abrupt and cranky sometimes. Would I personally take her again it's a maybe but do I recommend her? Yes.
This class was terrible. 0/10
Great teacher - completely committed to students doing well - always available and helpful - not an easy A but you do learn math!!
This professor knows exactly what she is doing. The two times I actually listened to her advice I got 100% on both exams. JOIN THE ZOOMS, DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS and you WILL be fine. I barely studied for this exam and the final and still got a 95, I barely know how to factor. Join the zooms and redo the problems she does in class and get that A
