Sally Mulvey is very intelligent and kind--will always go out of her way to help students if they're having trouble. Despite the fact that half the class is rude, sleeping, or shows up 1 hour late, she really makes the effort to help. She makes the material clear and is patient when it may not be. I would take her again and recommend her.

Sally Mulvey is one of the best math teachers at Brookdale. She's never boring. She goes out of her way to help her students. If you ask her she will help you even when it is not her normal office hours. Homework is online so you don't really use the book unless you want to study from it for tests. I'll be taking her class for 145 next semester.

I'n in calc 1 for transfer this summer. Class is pretty good but its not easy to organize the time to get all the work done and work at my job. Overall class is organized and teacher helps, but you need lots of time. I'm managing alright but happy to go to school in the fall.

If you like to a class that doesn't post work for multiple days in the middle of the semester, have a 50/50 shot of receiving a email back once you email the professor, or wait an extra week for the grade to be made official with bdale even though it's an online class where all the grades enter automatically, this class should be high on your list.

Mulvey is sharp and clear and nice and explains the math so I understand more than I ever before and I had calc in high school. She spends a lot of time helping you, go to office hours because it helps! Tests and quizzes arent easy, so much to learn in the class.

Professor Mulvey was great, she was very patient with answering questions and always had an extra two hour long exam review session outside of class before each exam. She wanted everyone to pass the class. There was a good amount of homework, but that's unavoidable in any calc class.

This class left me with severe anxiety on what is left to come for me. She belittles you for not knowing the answers and forget it if you don't have the same fundamental skills as her. Just overall worst class I have ever taken. This dropped my 4.0 to a 2.9 GPA so beware.

She talks really quickly and she just rambles which makes material so much more confusing. I wouldn't say that she is good teacher and she comes late to class and then asks us to stay after because she came late.

Professor Mulvey is a good professor. Class is sometimes fast and she rushes in because she has class on another campus right before but she is easy to understand. Office hours are after class and that helps a lot. This class is hard though.

I have taken two all online math classes with this professor and overall the experience wasn't bad. The tests are exactly like the homework and if you can do the homework and quiz you'll be fine on the test. There's three tests and three projects. On every project, she always gave me an 80 with no reason why but other than that not a bad grader.

Prof. Mulvey seems sweet, but her class is disorganized. Canvas has all work for the semester laid out at once and all work is due the last day of the semester which makes it difficult to time manage. Tests must be taken in person, but if you prepare with the HWs and quizzes before you can get through it. Lessons are through many YT videos as well.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!!! If you want to teach yourself calculus then this is the class for you. if you want to have no idea what's going on dont take it. the professor doesn't teach at all. she posts power points and videos made by OTHER teachers. its a waste of money to take this class and idk how the prof. can get away with it.

I wouldn't take math online again. There is enough here to do in the course, a lot of videos from teacher and some others, but I'm not good at doing this at home. I need to be in class. I think you could do okay, but online is not for me.

I took an all online summer course and it was so so easy. She makes her own tests and they are only a few questions long. What is on the review will be on the test! The best part is that she will give test review videos which will be nearly identical to whats on the test! (Like 1 to 1) No extra credit (none needed)

I took her this Summer, when I was home from school. She does not post ANY lectures, just links to Youtube videos that show the most simple of problems. The homework is anything but easy and is worth around 3% of your grade, so it's not even worth your time. She needs to rework this class drastically for anyone to actually learn anything from her.

the class was alright, definitely be ready to put in the work tho. She doesn't teach the class herself with any videos, its just youtube videos combined with the textbook, so if you're bigger on having the teacher teach you, id say don't take this course. A lot of material provided (can be good or bad). Quizzes are very helpful though

I am writing this review mainly to tell you guys to ignore all the rude comments. I am not the best in math and Mulvey really did helped me pass this class with an amazing grade. Her tests are super easy if you watch the review videos and she gives you credit for work even if your answer is wrong.

She tries her best to make everything as easy as possible. I'm just surprised Brookdale allows her to teach her online class the way she does. All of her lessons are just youtube videos that she didn't even make. Kind of stupid for a college class that we pay money for. Also for an online class, she takes a while to get back to you.

She is really nice, but the lectures were confusing, because sometimes she would go off topic and take about something random it was funny though i did enjoy the class. Definitely needed to go to the math lab to understand. The labs are not that easy as they are designed to challenge you. Go to math lab if you don't understand something.

So theres 3 test that make up 75% of your grade. In person for a fully online class. She does not make announcements or respond to emails or assignments. She grades tests after you have already taken the next test. It's normal for a teacher to not give a lot of attention to online classes but she truly does not care at all doesn't do anything.

Take Professor Mulvey for math 111. She is extremely helpful and if you need more explanation she is always willing to explain and help you understand. If you put the effort in it will work out well with her help.
