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.

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!!!!

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 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
