Why is she even a teacher? She does not teach or help at all. All she does is give a very short lecture (her lectures never even made sense). Then she spends the rest of the class doing NOTHING while we're working on an in class activity that none of us understand. If any of us asked her a question, she would tell us to figure it out ours

Professor Shows is a good professor, but has some classroom management issues. White board examples are directly from the my math lab powerpoint slides, so it's a good idea to print them up in advance when possible. When grading tests she will give partial credit if she can see you did the work even if your answer is incorrect. Lots of homework!

Pros= Extra credit opportunities on every exam. You can still earn up to 90% on MOST late homework assignments.

Her teaching technique is distinct. If you want a teacher that will lecture for most of class and then give classwork and homework, DO NOT TAKE HER COURSES.

Not going to lie, it is a very homework heavy class . I took this class for winter semester. so everything was crammed into a month. If you don't attend you will have a difficult time passing. Though this is a Stats class. So for what it was Shows made it the best she could. She's very patient , and caring with students. Would highly recommend !

She is a nice professor but it is hard class. Very homework heavy. Attendance is compulsory since there is a test every single day. I hoped she would take time and share some more examples for the entire class rather then giving individual CW

I took this Professor this semester, the work load is HEAVY! She gets an attitude if you ask her questions on any class work. You basically teach yourself in this class the lecture is only 15-30 minutes long and the rest of the time you do class work. Dont take this class i!!!

She was THE WORST professor! She is so condescending and if you ask her a question she talks to you like you are stupid! There are so many quizzes to do online that wasn't relevant in class. She has attitude and makes us read things online before our quizzes and once we get to class we learn something completely different! DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!!!!

Lots of homework

This teachers pretty condescending when giving feedback. I would ask questions and she makes you feel stupid instead of inspiring you to be better. Shes not the kind of teacher that makes her students strive to better themselves, rather she just makes you want to give up.

We had 1 group project, not difficult at all. Lots of online HW, they're multiple little quizzes that you do after learning the material on your own via video notes. Class time is spent doing group/individual activities assigned by her. It's true she gets annoyed if you ask lots of questions, but it's still possible to understand. Manageable class.

Just avoid and stay away from her. She's the worst math professor i've ever seen. She doesn't know what she's doing. Homework worth only 10% of your grade and tests worth 90% of your grade with bunch of questions and you have only 2 hours to complete the test with camera on! Good luck with that.

Overall, I really enjoyed her class. The workload was extremely heavy so if youre taking other classes dont expect to be able to put much time into those. One of the best things about her class was that we were able to redo assignments as many times until we got 100%. Her 4 unit exams have built in extra credit. She makes it very easy to pass.

Shows is an amazing professor! I took her for Math140 online and I received an A. There is a lot of homework because theres little quizzes. You have three chances and they're not timed. The class is more of a "go at your own pace" class. She's very understanding and incorporates extra credit into every test.

Took her online through zoom during fall 2021. Gives lots of feedback and responds quickly. There was a lot of work like mini 3-5 question quizzes due almost every day but they were pretty easy and we got multiple chances to retake them. And multiple page worksheets for HW. VERY flexible with late work and gives extra credit on 3 out of the 4 exams

If you put in the effort, you should be totally fine with this class. She does give a lot of work, so I recommend finding a buddy to study with and managing your time. Her tests weren't that bad, and her final project was very simple.

Great prof, breaks concepts down to be easily digestible. HW due "everyday" but not actually due till exams - its purpose is to pace and better prepare you for class work. I found the class to be quite manageable, but I also put in my fair share of effort. Concepts followed formulaic patterns so I dont think anything unexpected were on tests
