She is worst than Pierre .She only covers 1 problem per class and the rest of the time she humilates everyone.Unless you already have a good math background and do not need her expect to fail. Or your better off dropping.Trust me!!!
She tries to be funny and talks about her problems in class. She stays on one problem for the whole hour and forty minutes. Dont take her class.
Spends a whole class session on one problem. Ignores student's comments about her math mistakes. Tests are made to give good students Cs, great students Bs, and people that already know the material As. Expect to learn on your own.
BORING....SARCASTIC....AND NEVER EXPLAINS THROUGHLY HER LESSONS
don't waste your money.
I just had her and I think she is a really good teacher! The problem with the students are that they are use to regular math. You learn the same math procedures doing ordinary fun things. She is funny and she understands the problems that you might have! You cant have an easier class! She is a really nice teacher and has a lot of knowledge!
She is very lazy in teaching, love to pick a student that knows a lot, so the student can teach for her.
Professor Boer is so easy you have to try really hard to fail this class.
had her in '05 and she was ALWAYS late for class and had lame excuses for being late. always picked on students to do the problems for HW. did not go over lessons thoroughly, she expected or thought we knew. she was lazy and overall boring and too sarcastic...she was not funny to me.
Professor Boer is a great teacher, funny and smart as well. She really cares if you don't get the material, but you have to take to her about it, she's not a mind reader. Just let her know and she will really try everything to help you understand the material. Plus she makes class fun and interesting.
She does not review the material clearly and when asked to review a problem especially if it has to do with Algebra, she refuses to do it. She does not review before exams & her lessons are not concise. Don't waste your $$ and wait on a professor that will take the time to explain the problems to you.
Worst professor at BMCC
Prof. Boer has a passion for teaching her students about former mathmaticians and doing short essays on them, as well as playing "math games" and puzzles to make the class more fun and interesting. However, once comes time for the final at the end of the semester, she says we should already know real or applied math and doesn't want to review it.
She's not very understanding toward students who are returning and have not taken math in a while. She refuses to go over anything and gets upset if you ask. Dont waste your money or your time on her. Its worth the wait to have someone that cares and understands your situation.
i took her mat100 and mat206. both got A. so easy~
Worst teacher. Got an A but didn't learn anything. Late every day even on the final. Everyone in class still didn't know what would be on the final. She lacked structure NOT passion.
She is dedicated. Most of all she wants to inspire her students to love math. Good professor.Don't think you will get it easy in her class though, you have to do the work.
Not recommended , she's not very helpful at all, expect you to know everything at her level. I mean hello isn' that why you go to school to learn.
Great teacher! Highly recommend anyone who comes to college to learn and have fun or get this class over with. She even offers personal help to anyone who believe is slow at learning. Really, I don't know why such bad rating with this teacher? probably because all they did was talk and not follow through. Get serious, step ya game up. easy A.
She is ALWAYS LATE and then complains when your late. She does about two problems during the entire class. Grading on homework is fair. Problems on her test are harder than what she does in class. MUST PASS FINAL or you will fail no matter how good you did throughout the semester.
Professor Boer is highly committed professor. She's very responsible and ALWAYS goes an extra mile for ALL the students. She's always available to help and stays after class if you need her. She has been extremely helpful and polite. She even read my transfer application essay and corrected it! Overall, she's a GREAT professor to have & I'm lucky!!
i really did not like this teacher, she grades very harshly i even went to tutoring and still didnt pass, which wasnt fair being that i was always there and did my classwork and homework, she is always late, and nobody in the class could ever understand what she was trying to teach, shes good at math but not good at being a teacher!her voice is bad
Brilliant woman! I don't understand why people are so critical of her because she's a great prof. I haven't had a better math teacher yet and I suck at math. She's very helpful in and out of class.
She's the best math teacher you can ever have you won't regret taking her classes./ she is very helfpful and fun.her classes are so lively, she's the best!!
Before taking this class, I was petrified and I hated math. But after the first week of this course, it became my favorite class. Professor Boer is an amazing professor who actually helps. She breaks the work down very nicely. Some people find her sarcastic but I actually loved her humor. I strongly recommend taking her class. She's awesome!
Professor Boer is so sweet. She's a very intelligent woman who has a talent for teaching. As the course went along, this class became my favorite class. I strongly recommend her.
Prof Boer is very good. She can come off as being sarcastic sometimes but she means well. The class was awesome and I now have a new found respect for statistics. Other than being late a few times, she gets down to business and makes class fun.
good professor! everyone will have their own opinion of her. i liked her and her teaching methods.
Not bad at all. Give her a chance and take her. She's a good woman
GREAT!!! She's a really great professor i took her for math 150. and i hated math and I thought this class would be difficult and i might have to drop it but from the first day of class you already feel like you could solve any math equation thats how good professor boer is. she isn't hard on you and if you need help she helps! trust me take her !!
Some people rated her low because they failed. Math isn't for everyone but she's a great person and it baffles me that people didn't really cut her any slack. She's awesome, bright and midly comedic. TAKE PROFESSOR BOER! Just do your work and study hard.
she is a good prof
She is a great professor that cares about what she teaches and knows her stuff. She's very clear and if you attend class and do your work you will pass! TAKE HER !
DO NOT TAKE HER. WORST PROFESSOR EVER. SHE EXPECTS YOU ALREADY KNOW ALL THE MATERIALS IN THE CLASS. SHE JUST LOVE TO TALK WITH STUPID VOICE BUT TEACH NOTHING. SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SKILLS TO TEACH. SHE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE US STUDENT EVALUATIONS. I FEEL SO REGRET I TOOK HER CLASS. LET'S KICK HER OUT OF BMCC.
I really enjoyed being a student of Professor Boer. Her approach is unusual. She is giving a lot of examples from daily life which are also applicable to Calculus. This course was very helpful for me from mathematical and general education point of view. I'm very glad she's been my teacher throughout this semester.
She is a very nice lady who is incredibly passionate about math and willing to help you out whenever you have questions. Although she tends to talk about herself a lot, and is frequently late to class. The workload is easy - she lets you know if something will be collected or put on a test. I never bought the text, but I photocopied it when needed.
BEST PROFESSOR SHES VERY UNDERSTANDING ! AND A GOOD TEACHER
She has really annoying voice. She doesn't take care of students who are not good at math at all. You should avoid her IF you really want to learn or don't want to ruin your grade. One question per class... What the...
Awesome professor, I normally hate math, but I really enjoyed taking this class. She is very flexible. if you are active on class and do your homework on time you will have an A
Professor Boer has a love for math and it shows in her teaching! She is fair, clear, and interesting. I took this course for math credit for my math teaching certificate and it's a lot of work attending class after teaching all day myself. Prof Boer made the class worth it, even on days I was exhausted from work. I recommend taking her as a prof.
Wonderful class! I enjoyed Professor Boer's love for math and passion for teaching. I recommend this class and Prof Boer for other classes as we'll. It is obvious she really cares for her students and their understanding.
I did 301 wth ms boer. I had a rough semester. She refused to help her students. If you already know the material this is the class for you. If not, this is not the class for you. she came to class early twice and other times she was late between 35-50mins for every class. Don't let the good reviews fool u. she is just not good at teaching calculus
Most of Math teachers would just teach you the formulas to calculate stuffs. But we are not learning to become a calculator. We need understanding because understanding gives you creativity, and creativity leads to success. Prof.Boer gives you that, she proves the materials and let you understand the reason behinds it. I really enjoyed the class.
clear explain of subject the matter.you will understand how it relates to the real world but if she does not teach to pass the exam how does that make sense only homework. She spends most of her time being late to class then want us to take her class again when we fail. if u know the theory part this class is for U, if not Ur messing up Ur GPA.
She was a great and understanding teacher. Was always available after class and willing to help. Teaching material she loves to use the outside world and bring her own touch to the class room. Once you study it will be easy to pass this class
AWESOME professor. Very passionate about Math and makes learning super fun! Highly recommended.
She is not a good professor, she always is late 30 or 40 minutes each class and she is a disorganized teacher, i did not learn anything so if you don't want waste your time don't take her class, I do not recommend her as a professor,
this professor is always late to class everyday!!! she texts one person in the class to let them know she is running late and expect you to wait for her, when she gets there all she does is give you more homework and never goes over the homework with you. I was so lost learn absolutely nothing from her class. If you do not know Cal don't take her!
SHE IS A GREAT PROFESSOR, ALTHOUGH SHE IS LATE AT TIMES HER TEACHING METHODS ARE HELPFUL. SHE IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL in and out of class & WANTS THE BEST FOR ALL OF HER STUDENTS.
I loathe MATH...but Prof. Boer made the difference in me wanting to quit or passing this course. The lady cares for each and everyone of her students. Apart from her particular and demanding ways, she goes above and beyond to ensure that her students pass the class. This is the perfect teacher for someone who gets intimidated by math.
WOW,late more than 40 minutes everyday,absent more than 7 times,gives H.W. but doesn't collect it,puts things in tests that we have not learned,snatched a cell phone from a student out of her hand,she should also go over her grading structure because I'm baffled at the grade I received because the numbers don't add up,take another professor!!!!
Shes late often. Not only that, she doesn't think highly of her students and conducts the class like an elementary class. If you wanna feel like the grown adult that you are, dont take this course.
Loathed this class soo much. Made us do reports. (Just reminding you this is a math class). Seriously a waste of time. Didn't learn a thing the whole semester. There was only 3-5 classes she did teach but because one of the students wanted her to teach it. She said we were going to love math at the end of the semester... made me hate it even more
HORRIBLE! always off topic, rude to students, makes inappropriate jokes about students on finical aid, 911 other things . Needs to be fired. don't take run!
She over complicates something that is fairly easy to understand. If I weren't already great at math I probably would have failed this class. She has a huge attitude problems, she even made a girl cry in the class. All we did was write papers!! For a math class!! I'm glad its over will never take a class she's teaching ever again
Overall prof. Boer wants to help students become better in math. She has been one of the best prof. to teach me math. She's not boring also uses stories to make things more understandable in whats the point of Math. Teaching 051 is tough but if you really pay attention and do all the assign homework you will pass.
Ms. Boer has an unorthodox method of teaching but it is VERY effective. She was able to teach the material to 28 students who had different ways of thinking and solving a problem, this proved to be tough but her determination got us to learn the material the way we needed to pass exams. I appreciate her kindness and the jokes she told in class.
I'm not gonna lie she can kinda get on your nerves but she's cares so much about her students. she's kinda of just like a mom lol but I was able to leave her class actually learning something. she's so passionate and I'd be willing to take her again.
Even though professor boer was ALWAYS off topic she made sure we learned what we needed in order to pass. Really helpful and caring. Willing to offer extra help outside of school if you needed it. Awesome professor.
I enjoyed the class a lot. If you know how to follow directions and act like the adult you want to be treated as you will pass. Easy as pie! .The Professor is extremely passionate and will offer help beyond most professors I had to make sure you understand the material. Basically she wants to to pass and walk away with a new found love for math.
Horrible Professor even though she mentions about wanting everyone to pass she goes off topic for the most of the class and she randomly chooses topics from the textbook to teach in class so she can teach chapter 1 and then chapter 10 the next lecture. If your not good at math then don't take this class because she is not helpful.
Very funny, interesting and helpful teacher, really knows her stuff provides office hours if necessary, I am not to fond of math nor do I naturally get it like others ,with this teacher I am able to comprehend and apply the skills that were taught
Honestly she wasted my tuition on this class. She's sweet but completely unorganized, was late 30 minutes or more- often, and can be rude and sarcastic towards students with her comments. She is very smart but not sure her quirks are suitable for a very necessary class.
I see that professor Boers is kind of a controversial figure. While I do have to agree that she does tend to go off topic sometimes, she doesn't get enough credit. In my class she was very dedicated to making sure everyone passed. She always offered to stay after class and give personalized tutoring to anyone that needed it. She was very dedicated.
she's great for MAT100. I totally forgot it's a math class cause all we do is puzzles. You won't learn formulas and stuff like that in regular math. She's very lenient with homework. Just show up and look like you're giving an effort and its an easy A
Don't take her if you want to learn math, always late and off topic but if you want a easy class go for it.
Professor Boer loves Math and her teaching method makes you appreciate how Math works. She doesn't shove formulas down your throat and tell you memorize, she shows you how the formula works and it's amazing how easy that makes it to understand. She's usually late for class. She's very considerate and genuinely care for her students.
Prof Boer is a passionate math teacher, above all else. She has a very fun approach, likes to convey material by telling RELEVANT stories, and she's always on the look out if students don't understand something she's saying. The comments about her "making us do a research paper" make me laugh. Where do you think you are!?? This is college honey.
She goes off topic easily, although she brings the business world into math and tries to make it interesting. She's always late. I do not recommend taking her if you struggle in math because I seen students did not get better and failed the midterm. If you are okay in math or good then you can take her, otherwise you may struggle.
Great professor. Do the work and you'll pass! Very kind :)
I liked her a lot. Always had problems with math to an extent, and while she didn't baby anyone..
Lets say she is a good prof with a broad knowledge of math, but cant make other understand what's going on. She waste her time trying to be hilarious but cant even do more then two math in 1 class. I am a math lover but i was having trouble understanding her explanation. Learned how Einstein would think,how to to waste my time thinking of his life
This Professor made this math class very fun. She is a very outgoing, but professional teacher.
The teacher is comes late and she give an excuse on my she was late. She only graded us on 3 test. Two regular test and the final. I don't think I was taught well. However when it's time for you to take the test she will give out review sheets, which are very helpful
Professor Boer was a very caring teacher, she was sarcastic and tried to be funny however I took this course to learn and boost my GPA and ended up doing the exact opposite. She was extremely unreliable in arriving to class on time or prepared. She was NEVER accessible outside of class, either in person or via email. Easy work just unreliable.
The best prof for math. you will learn a lot. She will help you.
Professor Boer is good. She teaches what is necessary and repeats the most important things often. She is also funny and tells stories that make students remember things. Not many exams. Homework is usually not overwhelming and she always lets students know in advance when she will give a quiz or test. She is willing to help and cares a lot.
Prof. Boers class was my favorite this semester. Shes super funny and always has a great story to relate to the material. Very hands on and brings in items to demonstrate lessons in class. As long as you show up and participate there is no way to fail! Shes also very understanding and offers make ups & retakes if needed! Would def take her again
Easiest class yet! learned so much and it is really hard to fail her class. Took 3 exams and she always gave review sheets before to help us study, you will though have to buy the textbook or rent it online for $25 like I did because the book is used a lot. Just show up, do the hw and study for the tests and you'll get an A.
The Prof. is a good one she is very easy she does not teach heavy. she is not organized at all but her personality is really nice. She is super easy and you literally don't do much work in her class.
she wasn't a really good professor. she talks too much about her personal .life. We didn't even really learn about math all she did was make us write a paper and do a presentation.
Professor Boer is an amazing teacher whose passion for teaching provides intellectually stimulating discussions, and encourages students to learn the why? behind math instead of memorizing equations. The work is fun for the most part and the easiest way to pass this class is to show up and do your work.
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.
Stop scrolling! Go ahead and register for your own good. All you got to do is meet her halfway.
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 LOVEEEE this professor! she was very entertaining and understanding. Her work is easy and no textbook is required. participation is very important to show you are actually paying attention. I would take this professor any chance I get!!!!
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 was great to have! She is hilarious and super caring! Also, the class is a breeze if you already know how to do basic math but if you forgot some things she will go over it. I love Professor Boer and will miss her!
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.
Prof Boer is a caring , kind soul. She is very understanding and is HUMAN. She gets frustrated at times and goes on rants but only because she cares !! She is very realistic and will tell you things how they are . I would definitely take her again and again if I could .
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.
she is every rude she would let everyone in the class talk and get mad when one student is talking quietly , she doesn't respect some students and she makes some even cry and does not have good communication or teaching methods and talks about other completely different topics not related to what we shouldn't be discussing
Wouldn't recommend this woman unless you're fond of teaching yourself the entire coursework. Very unprofessional and unpleasant.
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!!
Professor Boer is great at ensuring everyone understands the material. She has a structured approach with review sessions before tests and is always available for extra help. Textbook is essential, and unstuckstudy was super helpful for test prep.
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.
Best professor I ever had.
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.
BEST TEACHER EVERR!! but i believe she retired after FALL 2024 (not sure but rip if you missed out on her)
