She was the best teacher ever in my life. There were some students who had troubles with her. But if you do respect of elders and teachers, you will have fun with the class. Plus, she is really nice, feels like my mom and thats why students could make troubles. Show your respect, you will pass.

First off she is hilarious, most of all blunt. Don't take it personal because she has good intentions. Teaches what matters most (no nonsense like highschool). She cares about her students for sure, gave me amazing life advice and told me to chase my dreams. Do your homework, tests, attendance. She doesn't teach to trick she teaches to help!

Do not take if you are planning to complete your degree @ BMCC. Does not teach according to the book nor syllabus, is inconsiderate of students time and effort by pushing off reviewing for the exams until last minute. Two words when she lectures: word salad. No respect in a professional level to the students as a whole. Gets too personal.

She is really caring, and helpful to students. She gives us study materials and makes math simple for us to learn. Moreover, she shares us extra knowledge and always inspire us to chase our dream and work hard for it. I am really gonna miss her class.

As we all know, 2020 has been very rough on all of us. When I first signed up for this class it wasn't an online class, but due to the pandemic, it was. Prof Boer made my anxiety of taking an online class almost non existent. She was very patient as we were all learning this new virtual world together. Her homework and grading were very fair. A+

Prof Boer is a blunt women and funny too. I think she was having a bit of a tough semester, but she surely means no harm. Study the material, PARTICIPATE in class and youll be good. The material honestly isnt that hard but you need to do your part!!

Professor Boer in my view would be the best Math professor had the class been on campus. She is great at explaining the content clearly and will spend hours until you understand the material. She is considerate of students financial strain and opted to find us a cheaper text for class. Once you are respectful and show interest you will pass.

I had her online. Youll definitely need your textbook because it WILL come in handy especially during tests or if you didnt understand something that was taught, trust and believe the textbook will help. If we had any questions about anything or if something wasnt clear, she was available through email. Also, we were given 3 tests and a final.

I LOVE Professor Boer! She is an excellent math professor and a beautiful& hilarious individual. She is absolutely caring and so smart. She is the first math professor that taught math so clearly and it actually made sense to me! I would take this class over and over again. Her lectures are so funny but so informative and straight to the point. A++

Professor Boer made math 104 as understandable as possible for many of the students who weren't good at math. There isn't a lot of assignments like homework or projects, so do good on the exams, which were easy and clear. what I found helpful that she did was pairing classmates up with others who were doing well to study. I highly recommend her.

Very great Math Prof. Takes extra measures to ensure you understand, doesn't move on until then. There's always a review before a test. Spent time after class with whomever may need assistance. She does group work in class and allow everyone to participate in class activities and answering questions. Will strongly recommend.

This professor was unhelpful despite her intentions. She was often 30 minutes late and used class time to discuss personal issues instead of teaching. Her lessons were disorganized, and she seemed more interested in befriending students than providing instruction. Grading felt unfair due to a lack of meaningful assessments.

Took this course in person. There were only three exams, which were straightforward and made easier by the professor's clear guidance on what to expect. I found the textbook online so I didn't have to purchase it, though she rarely used it. Her lecture style was simple, engaging, and easy to follow. Highly recommend her!!

I love Professor Boer's classes. She takes great care to make sure we understand, she brings medical instruments related to the topic she is teaching, which makes learning fun and easy to understand. Although she can be a bit disorganized, always late, and sometimes off-topic, her explanations are clear and she is very friendly.

The professor is the worst I've ever had, consistently late, racist, and harassing. She talks more about her ignorant views of African and West Indian people than medical math. She harasses students outside class and on weekends, if you don't have a good grasp on math YOU WILL FAIL.
