Great teacher, very easy to follow her classes. Highly recommened. If you suck on a test she lets you fix your problems for half credit.
she is good :)
She was a great teacher, she really knew how to teach, and she taught you easy ways to figure it out.....her motto: there is more than one way to skin a mathematical cat!!Highly reccomenended!!
She is freaking AMAZING!!!!
Sadie is a spectacular teacher. I would recommend her to anyone. She preps you well for every tests.
Sadie is one of the BEST instructors at SLCC. If you struggle with math take Sadie's class. She is AMAZING and really makes sure that you understand the concepts! I want to take all future math classes from her.
I took her for 1010 & 1050 she is terrific.
LOVE HER!!! I am probably the worst person at math and yet she was able to explain problems to me and even I was able to get it! I wish with every fiber of my being that I could have her for every math class forever! She is AMAZZZZZZING! Make sure you take a class from her!
I have never been great at math, but Sadie has made me feel hopeful. She is a FANTASTIC teacher, and I wish I could take every math class for the rest of my life from her. Class attendence is not mandatory, but I would never miss a class because she explains things better than the book ever will. Great teacher.
AWESOME Teacher!! She actually made math fun and easy to understand. She actually made me enjoy going to class. She also has a great sense of humor. Definately TAKE this class from her you won't be sorry
Sadie is a wonderful math teacher. She throughly enjoys what she does, and is more than willing to help with understanding the material..... Plus she is pretty funny. ..... I loved attending her class.
I wouldn't take math from any other teacher but her if I can help it. I hate math and she makes it understandable and interesting. She is so helpful and understands what it is like to not get math. Sadie will answer all of your questions and will help you succeed.
Sadie is an awesome teacher! If she taught 1040 I would take it from her in a heartbeat. She explained the material very well and made class fun. Keep up on the homework becuase there is a lot of material to cover. Take this class from Sadie!
Sadie is an AMAZING professor! She really loves math and enjoys helping her students!! SHE IS A MUST FOR THIS CLASS!! She really breaks things down for you, and does not make math more complicated than it has to be!
Super great teacher, she is quite hilarious and a young teacher. She is so helpful and every time she explains a concept, she will ask if everything is clear and doesn't make you feel dumb for asking so many questions.
I can't fault her for my C+. Her class was easy, and she was clear about what was going to be on tests. I only showed up to the class three times and she accepted all my late homework and tests. She works hard and does a good job. She is more than fair, and I would recommend her, even though I might take the class again to get that A.
AMAZING!! Sadie is the best math teacher I have ever had! She explains things, listens, and is funny! She even lets you text her with homework problems. Young full of life teacher! Definitely recommend Sadie! ... and totally hot!
Great
I took an online class with her and although the math class itself was hard miss Thomas was very understanding and willing to help anytime you needed it.
The best math teacher i've had, and I had a lot. It's an easy class but she makes it easier and funner. Highly recommended.
Sadie is such a great math professor! The best i've ever had actually. She makes math fun which I never thought I would be able to say. She really loves teaching and if you ever need help she'd be there in a heartbeat! Even explains questions over texts if you need them ;)
Best Math Prof ever! She teaches math so that everyone can understand. She gives lectures that are funny are helpful when you're trying to remember the concepts later. She is brilliant. She is the BEST math teacher I have EVER had! I would take another math class from her even if I didnt need the class. She is awesome. Take Sadie!
She is truly amazing!!!! i have never been good at math and would score 60's on math tests but with Sadies' class I was in the high 80's mid 90's. She makes it easy to understand!!! I am taking her 1090 next semester. If you struggle with math TAKE HER she is amazing and will help with Math over TEXT! can't beat that.
She is a very good math teacher. i struggle with math and she was very clear with concepts. Also a calculator pro and can teach you a lot of good tricks with the calculator. i would recommend her to anyone. allows your final score to replace your lowest test score. opens up the online homework at the end of the semester so you can get full credit.
She is really a great professor, I enjoyed her class a lot! I would recommend her to anyone!
I have been in 2 of Sadie's math classes (1010 and 1020) and they were the best classes I have taken. Sadie makes class fun and math easy to understand. If you have the opportunity to take a class from Sadie do it!
She is awesome. Her teaching is very clear. she is a calculator pro. very nice. Her tests are harder than the final so you are totally prepared. drops lowest test score.
Sadie is hands down the BEST math instructor I have ever had. She uses MyMathLab for homework which is super frustrating, and the only thing I disliked about the class. She is approachable and willing to repeat things in class. This was my third time taking Math1010 and I understood her instructions so much better than other instructors.
I am in my 50's returning to school after 30 years. Math has always been difficult for me. Although Sadie explains concepts very clearly, her tests are tougher than the homework assignments. She does not revisit them once she shows you how they are done. I need more than that. No test reviews, but will tell you whats on it.
Sadie is amazing. Her tests are hard. I wish she made a better reviews to study from. overall she is a wonderful teacher, book is not mandatory, and you use MyMathLab for daily homework's. Good Luck
Best math teacher I've ever had, hands down. I had her for MATH 1010 as well. Crystal clear lectures and she's able to help the slower students during class without completely derailing the lessons. Uses MyMathLab for homework which is by far the best in my opinion. If you do well on her mid-terms, the final will be cake.
I had her for 1010, and I had to have her for 1050 because she's the only math teacher that I've had where I actually understand the material. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask because she's not judgmental, nor will she make you feel dumb for asking. I wish she taught at the U so that I could keep taking her classes!
Sadie is very knowlegeable. She uses mathlab wich is horrible. Her tests are so TOUGH and nothing like the homework. She doesn't really do test reviews. She is good at explaining things but you need to be super organized because her notes on the board are all over the place.
She always replies very fast if you have any questions. She is an all around great teacher. I would definitely recommend her.
I absolutely loved Sadie! She was always willing to help whenever needed. You definitely have to study for tests, but she is great about pointing out what to focus on, so there are no surprises. She did a great job of preparing us for the final exam. She had a fun personality. Would definitely take her again.
This was my second time taking this class and Sadie really helped me understand math and I passed this time.
Sadie Is freaking awesome! She is always there for you as long as you are putting forth some effort. She would always answer my Emails and she gave us some great preparation for the final. I learned a ton from her but I also worked my butt off for my Grade. Her teaching Style is great. She makes math Funny and interesting.
She teaches very weird and she doesn't really tell you what to study for on the Final.
sadie is so handsome! Shes cool! I love her, she explained very carefully in the classroom, she is very planned, she will be a detailed explanation of each person to ask silly or very difficult problem. sadie is the most special teacher! love her!
I took Math 1050 online and I have to tell you..... It was really hard. I was extremely dedicated to the work. I often found myself doing about 8-12 hours of Math homework/self-teaching/quizzes/exams per week. It wasnt easy. If you are not self motivated this is not the route to take. If you are up for a challenge this is the place to be.
She teaches well and is willing to meet outside of class. I had never taken trig before, but by attending the lectures, reading the book and a bit of side work, I was able to do fine in her Calc I course. You're in college. Expect work, do the work and you'll be fine.
this woman is the BESSST! when trying to make you understand something visibly on the board, her color coding is on point! and she makes note of what students have struggled with on exams historically, and she spends a LOT of time making sure her current students grasp those concepts specifically. This is a really efficient teaching technique!
Great professor.
Sadie is an awesome math teacher! She breaks it down into real terms instead of abiding by the books "old fashioned Hebrew" vocabulary. There wasn't any test that she didn't prepare us for.
Sadie is such an amazing professor. She writes everything out on the board in different colors to make it easier to understand. The homework is all from WebAssign which I thought was extremely helpful. Her exams are a little tougher, but it definitely prepares you for the final. She made calc bearable and I thank her for that. She's hilarious too.
Sadie is a wonderful teacher! She goes through how to actually do each type of problem, with it all on the board and well organized. She's easy to listen to and follow. It moves fast, so keep up. Homework was hard and a lot. Tests were better and fair with partial credit awarded. Wish we had more time to review and practice, but a lot to cover.
I absolutely loved Sadie! She is hilarious and made Calculus interesting. She is easily the best math teacher I've ever had. All she wants is for her students to do well and is willing to do anything to help. I would 100% recommend taking a class from Sadie. The homework can be difficult at times, but her tests are fair.
Although there was a lot of homework it really made you learn the material. Sadie was also very entertaining and totally willing to help out whenever possible.
Sadie gave the most amazing lectures. She had a lot of material to cover in class and needed to go rather quickly through the each section. She taught the math concepts in a way that I could understand and explained them so much better than the textbook. My notebook from her lectures in class was my textbook and study guide.
Sadie teaches her class very well. Always gives solid reviews for her tests. If you are lost, ask for clarification; she teaches quickly but will go in depth if students participate and vocalize confusion.
Sadie is super chill. She explains Calc in a super simplified way so that you'll grasp it. If you can't succeed in her class it's because you weren't prepared w/ prereqs or don't want to put in the work. She is the best math teacher I've had between school in CA and here. Stoked I took her class!
Sadie is an amazing professor, if you have a question she explains it and makes sure you understand, on her exams she always gives you the objectives and that's exactly what's on the exam. One of the best math professors.
Math 1050 is a very challenging class, and Sadies amazing guidance got me through. She is an amazing lecturer who understands student POV and explains concepts in a way that is relatable and understandable. She focuses relevant material to prepare you for tests and future math courses. Funny. Smart. Hardworking. Chill grader. Would take again.
Do your homework. In order to pass final you have to attend class and do your homework. Sadie was a good teacher. She had to speed through the material, so dont miss class if you can help it.
AMAZING teacher. She made math easy to understand. She cuts out all the confusing ways that the book explains math & teaches easier ways to understand it. Homework assignments are all done online so you can get help on solving the problems right away. Tests are straight forward. Attendance isn't required but in order to learn, necessary:) Take her!
Awesome teacher! I took math 1010 and math 1050 from her, she does use the math lab which people tend to either love or hate, I wouldn't recommend taking her classes on line, she just doesn't have that part set up very well. But in class she is really awesome to make sure you understand the material before moving on.
She is a great teacher! She is very willing to help and answer any questions. You can redo the homework, as many times as you want to get whatever score you want, there is access to example problems and how to do them step by step in MyLab. MyLab sometimes can suck so she gave everyone some extra credit for putting up with it.
I picked the top three to describe her. She's so engaging with the class (it was online so that's major points) and offers great examples to help the work make more sense. I am still waiting on my Final, but I am grading her based on everything before it, because the Final is definitely on me. She's a great choice and offers tons of resources.
She is absolutely the best math teacher I have ever had in my life. Try and take her class if you can.
This class requires around 12-18 hours a week on homework. It is a heavy load to take on especially online. I never found time to study for the final which I bombed. So i'm retaking this class again. She uses my math lab that have around 30 questions and 4 sub questions. I would've had a B if i didn't fail the final. Be ready for lots of homework.
I took this class online and Professor Thomas' recorded lectures were a lifesaver. She does a great job explaining things and provides some helpful tricks. The group discussions also helped a lot. I would take another math class from her again.
Never read the textbook once in this class, the lectures gave plenty of information to work on homework and study for exams. She goes over all the content you need to know for exams, and will make sure you know what to study. She won't throw something at you that she hasn't explicitly taught. She explains concepts fairly well.
Sadie is awesome! She gives you every chance to get an A on everything. She will give reviews the day before a test and spent a lot of time reviewing for the final. I would take her again for any math classes I need! She makes it so easy to understand and will spend time helping you understand it.
The instructor did not give any feedback. The exams were graded but not given back for review. She also is not very timely with grading.
She is very clear on the material that she teaches. Even on test she give you the ideas on what you should be studying instead of wasting all you time reading the entire chapter. You don't have to show up, but it does not make it easy to learn the material so I highly recommend going.
This course was easy to understand & work through. Sadie was great, I messed up on a couple of problems on projects & instead of just leaving it as it is she reached out to let me know & gave me a second chance to rework the problems & resubmit for a better grade. Make sure you study and understand the material especially for exams.
Easy & straight forward. Homework wasn't too much. Help with problems were quite vague & useless- use online tutoring tool instead. There's an online 'textbook' if you do the problems in the sections consistently (not required) you'll excel in the class (answers frequently wrong). I would 110% take this class again. Study & you'll do great!
Be prepared to take a test every two weeks! But she is pretty leineant. She doesnt care about attendance and will let you come in to take tests later. But there is a lottttt of homework. She includes videos for almost every problem to solve so going to class isnt so important. Textbooks is online so save lots of money. But tests tests tests.
Sadie is a really great math teacher! If you attend class and listen to her lectures you WILL get a good grade. She knows how to explain things without making you feel like you don't understand. She ins't afraid to admit when she makes a mistake like other teachers. And she actually cares, she reached out about assignments letting me redo them.
I took Math 1050, 1060, and 1210 with Sadie and passed all of them first try. She explains things in a way that is easy to learn. She is very clear on what's expected for exams and gives reasonable feedback. Offers a 10% bonus on homework and replaces your lowest exam with your final exam score. Put in the necessary effort and you'll pass.
I thought this professor was great! She saved me from failing this class. She'll tell you what's on the 7 exams and as long as you actually look at the exam list and study what she tells you then you'll do great. The final is a different story but it's really not her fault (she doesn't see or write it) and she's a very lenient grader.
She does not have prep exams. The homework is easy to follow along with the videos, but the exams are completly different. The final is a complete joke, the prof tells you to study with prev exams form past finals and you are blindsided with questions that were never there. Which only half of the students ended up passing.
Was directed here by an announcement by the professor, but the rating is no longer here. I wont disagree with what was said in the announcement, but it seems that criticism is not taken well. It is true that there are no exam preps and the final from what was disclosed by the professor was still at a low average. Again, a warning for students
Would highly recommend taking this course with someone else. She formats everything differently so you have to sit and waste time trying to figure out what she is looking for, and her final was a total joke. she bragged about having half barely pass with a 60% and the rest have to rtk, and went after a student for leaving an honest review on here.
As long as you are willing to put in minimal effort into the course you should be fine. Others are saying the final wasn't covered thoroughly, but I think they weren't looking through all the resources we were offered because we clearly had plenty of information giving through our professor on what exactly to expect and how to prep.
She tried to justify and out a student because they had a bad experience. It seems that people forget that this is a site to make sure students are able to pass. 29/59 students did not pass by their math. If the individual wants to take that chance so be it. I do agree that what should be provide is prep exams. Hope this helps
Sadie is a down to earth professor who cares about her students. It is a normal math class with lots of homework and a few projects. Sadie is willing to take the time to make sure each student understands the material. Before each exam she would do a test review day where she would layout what kind of questions to expect on the exam.
When deciding to take this class, I had no idea who to take it with but a lot of people that I know who took the class already highly recommended taking it with Sadie. Sadie is an amazing professor who is willing to meet up and help you with whatever you need. The material may be difficult but if you put the effort you can pass. 10/10 recommend!
Sadie is a GREAT professor. It is math so there is a bit of homework but it is straight forward and not bad. You also have multiple attempts. Tests are based off homework and she was really good about teaching what would be on the final. Take her for Math and I am sure you will do great if you truly try.
i've given Sadie a good review before in 1050 but i feel like i have to do it again for 1210. because this woman could literally teach calculus to a monkey! if you get the chance take her class! you will definitely have a greater understanding of math and all things involving. And i so desperately wish she taught calc 2
I should've read the comments from past because they were right. I am not prepared for the final and I'm already stressing out about it. I don't think they can take critism and just have random students or herself give her ratings to make it seem like this is a fair class to take. Needs pre tests and disclose similar problems to tests and final
This was a horrible experience. I did all the homework,quizzes, and exams and still managed to get a c+. The final was abysmal! The final had no similar questions to the review and was extremely unprepared because of the reviews that were given. They need practice exams and an actual helpful review. Do not take with this professor!
I was so scared to take a math class online but Sadie has Canvas VERY organized and made it pretty easy. (I mean as easy as math can be LOL) She doesn't mark late work and she is really understanding. She was ALWAYS there to help if I needed it. For it being an online class she was very involved and attentive. Hard class but she made it doable!
Sadie is a really chill prof that goes over the course work in detail. The great thing about her is she isn't a robot like all the other profs. She grades fair and I felt I was as best prepared as I made myself be. Trig can be confusing, but she managed to teach me. I will look at taking calc with her in the future.
Sadie is an incredible teacher. She keeps in informed and works hard to make sure her students understand what they are needing to learn. Like any math class, there was a ton of homework. I spent an average of 15 hours a week on this course and got a B (I am an A student). Also, she had 8 tests throughout the semester, so you were being tested alot
Brags about how only a certain number of students passed the final with only a 60%. Even if you study hard and do all the homework it's pointless if you get less than that on the final. Be warned if you take her class. It seems also that they are trying to get more ratings to side with them even when they know their class is horrible.
Sadie doesn't reply quickly at all and doesn't really give feedback. The lectures are ok but you need to watch the lectures AND read the lessons or you'll miss information. I found the videos actually attached to the homework more helpful cause they are simple and don't skip steps where as hers do.
Calc 1 is an intimidating subject to learn. Sadie does such a great job at introducing this subject. It was a virtual class but Ive had her in person before and she was just as good. She does her best at giving credit on test. One thing I like about her is if you ask a question she will not make you feel stupid. Great Professor to take.
Sadie is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I wish she taught more than math so I could take her for more classes but hey. There's a lot of homework (it's math class), a quiz every other week and an exam every other week. Be prepared but stay on top of everything and you'll be fine. She's extremely understanding and just a great teacher.
This teacher was the worse I've had so far. I worked so hard on all the assignments and quizzes and when I didn't understand something, she never answered emails until like a week later asking, "Did you resolve this?" Like WHAT?! Got my first and only B so far in college in this class. Save your time and seek a better teacher.
This course was beyond a lot of work. There were many test and she just passes by the lectures and when you want help she just repeats what she said even if you didn't understand it. Honestly for all the work to get what I got. Also she grades tough on the final.
Took this as an online class and it was literally me teaching myself. Pages of math. There are a lot of tests, and you are required to go into a testing center and take it there. There is also an assignment due every week to show your work and you have to scan it in.
There are many test but she provides an objective list on what's on the test. She is clear with how to solve problems. Put effort in class and on doing practice exams to get a good grade. I would have done better if I put more effort in it. I have taken another math 1050 and the teacher wouldn't tell us what would be on a test.
I thought she was a great math instructor. She prepares you very well for tests.
Sadie is VERY organized, accessible outside of class, and extremely open to questions. The homework is a lot like the exam so as long as you're caught up on the homework, the exam will be a literal breeze. She prepares you exceedingly well for the exam. I literally can't recommend Sadie enough, her lectures made calculus a breeze!
Sadie has been the best instructor I have had yet. She is well organized, gives good feedback, responds quickly and willing to help. There is a lot of homework, tests and quizzes but what do you expect from a math class? She cares and wants you to succeed. I look forward to taking her calculus class in the future.
As a person with ADHD, their lecture style is *way too fast.* I never have time to process what's happening before we move on to the next topic. I was lost and frustrated so I recommend an additional math tutor for this class. She's nice and all but this isn't for me. :/
Had to retake because she blindsides you with a promise on how the Final exam will have similar questions to the review that was provided. Granted I'm not asking for the exact same type of questions but some stuff that was on the exam wasn't even on the review or homework. Take with someone else because almost all of our class failed.
Absolute worst organizer. Test heavy,online class all exams must be taken on campus!!! -PRACTICE EXAMS HELP WITH NOTHING ON EXAMS! - FINAL EXAM TEST PREP IS OLD EXAMS FROM 2013-2018 - HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT EVERYDAY. - VERY SLOW TO REPLY DOESNT HELP. Videos only - WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS : miss one little thing on it or write the equation wrong 0/100
I am a 3.8 student, DONT TAKE HER. Doesnt help her tests are nothing like practices or homework. Half the class failed. final test has to be 60% or failed no matter. Teacher never responds. 7-8 HW a week with test after. teacher horrible grader, all positive are fake comments. FINAL HAD NO UPDATED PRACTICES. Online class, test at on campus
This class is very well organized which is helpful for an online class. This is a very heavy lecture and homework class. If you do the homework you will do fine on the exams. I recommend doing the written homework after you have completed the online homework. Don't wait until the end to do those or else you will forget everything.
Sadie was very unorganized and unprofessional. She made concepts that are supposed to be easy extremely hard to understand. If you take her get ready to spend a lot of your time outside of class trying to understand what she is teaching, doing a crazy amount of homework, and taking exams every other week. Please find a teacher worth your time.
Sadie is AWESOME! She goes over each math question W/detail. If u have questions she will answer it&make sure you understand. I would suggest taking MATH1090 not 1050,SERIOUSLY I was nervous, but W/ Sadie it was a breeze. Mostly calculator which helps&Sadie always explains what exactly would be on the test&what wouldn't so U knew what to study for
Shes great! She explains very well and she is a very nice grader. There are due dates but nothing is really due until the last day of class. She does very well at preparing you for the final and all other exams! She's funny too.
Amazing teacher. I highly recommend her. She explained difficult concepts extremely well. She has no due dates. I don't suggest missing class though, you miss out on important topics because we cover so much content in one class period. She looks out for her students and is there to help us. If you have any questions she is more than happy to help.
If you're good at learning things on your own, this class is for you. I liked the fact that late submissions are not penalized. You have homework every day, so you should not turn it in late. The class is fast paced, and exams are on campus. Unlike other tests that were on computers, the final exam was on pencil and paper.
This is a very stressful class with lots of homework / assignments. I recommend getting a tutor if you take this class.
Made lessons fun to listen to. Didn't require any participation. Practice tests were the same questions as the test but just different numbers so it was really easy to do good on tests. Due dates weren't strict either.
Sadie was amazing! This was the first time I connected with and understood the concepts she was teaching. She explains things very well, but the class is very fast-paced. We usually had unit quizzes every other week, but she prepares you well. Assignments can be submitted late for full credit. Don't recommend missing class. 9/10 would retake
Overall, This Professor was good. I did find myself blindsided by the final but I am a bad test taker, and had personal problems. I found the fact she had pre-recorded lessons helpful, along with the way she explained things. What really failed me was the department D policy, even if I would've received a C without it.
Sadie's math class is challenging, but she genuinely wants her students to succeed. The workload is heavy, with daily homework and frequent exams, but her teaching style helps break down complex concepts. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for extra practice and preparation. Overall, a rewarding experience for those willing to put in the effort.
I've always struggled with math and failed this class twice before. Sadie helped me pass with an A. She's very visual, breaks things down clearly. No HW due dates, extra credit options before exams, and smaller more frequent exams made grading easier and the material was fresh in your mind when you took them. Best math teacher i've ever had!
I'm taking one of Sadie's classes for my first time back to college in a year. She's extremely understanding and makes the courses as easy as possible while still making sure everyone has a deeper understanding of the concepts. She explains things so clearly. I would absolutely recommend her and I hope I can take more of her classes in the future.
She give digital homework like usual but also short written homework do she can see any mistakes we make and correct us. Her classes are recorded so you're always able to go back to the lectures if you miss class. I recommend still going every time!
Thomas is genuinely one of the best math teachers I have ever had. I'm quite sad she isn't teaching calculus as I would take every math class that is ever required from her. She has a deep passion for math and it made class surprisingly engaging.
