This professor is new to valencia but has been teaching for a long time and you can tell. Her lectures are easy to understand and if you don't get it, ask and she'll easily go in depth on it. You do examples in class to make sure you grasp it, you have homework and it's annoying but not terrible. Only math teacher I've taken that made me enjoy math
One of the best math teachers I have ever had. Highly recommend taking her class, math is intimidating and she is more than willing to explain it to ensure everyone understands. Tests are just like examples in class and the homework is not excessive. She creates an enjoyable atmosphere which is just a bonus!
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! - Lectures are fun and easy on the students - Always helps students understand the material and will answer your questions - Homework is helpful and correlates with the tests so you're never caught off guard - She makes a tough subject enjoyable and really cares for her students. Cant recommend her enough, you wont regret it!
The best math teacher I ever had in college she make statistics easy and make sure everybody in the class understands before moving on you won't regret taking her she's also funny .
Amazing Professor! One of the best math teacher I have ever had. When she explains things they are very clear, and you won't leave the class confused. You must take her!
I have take College Algebra 3 prior times and droppped class due the professors clarity and homework overload. Ms. Draper is AMAZING !! Clear and Makes sure you understand. She doenst leave you behind. Im 42 years going back to school after 22 years and I passed with a B ! Great Professor !!
She gives you hw on MathLab for every section you go over. She gives 4 tests (all fill in, no multiple choice) and a few quizzes. At the end of the semester, she will drop a quiz and a hw grade, but not a test. She doesn't offer extra credit. She is a great prof you just have to make sure you STUDY for tests and do all your hw, I def recommend!
Makes learning fun. Has different ways to approach problems. Give homework which is great practice. Really break things down for better understanding.
She is by far the best math teacher I have ever had, she cares about you learning and understanding the material. She is easy to get a hold of, you definitely have your work cut out for you but she wants everyone to succeed. She assigns homework for every section, and that week's work is due on Sunday, she tries to have tests later in the week.
Magnificent professor, to say the very least. She genuinely cares about her students succeeding in life. I still don't care for mathematics, or will ever include them in my life; BUT, she actually makes statistics worthwhile. I'd take her class again, in a heartbeat, and couldn't give a higher recommendation to her as a professor. SIGN UP!!!
To start, Draper is AMAZING. Genuine and caring. Honest & up front in her teaching ways. Does not teach STATS how other profs do, she teaches from her own problems and is very interactive in class. I have NEVER earned an "A" on a math exam before, ive taken STATS 3 times & prof Drapers way of teaching helped me pass. TAKE HER!!!
Professor Draper is really smart, experienced, funny, and has a very interactive teaching style. We frequently used in-class surveys on silly topics in our examples. Her lectures are thorough but somewhat fast, so take good notes. But she posts ppts and is quick to respond to emails, so no excuses for a bad grade. Overall: 5/7 A+ would take again.
Ms. Draper is AMAZING! I loved every minute of her classes and that's a big statement considering I typically dislike math. She's very detailed and will describe a problem in such a way that it makes you able to comprehend it so well. She makes class fun and is great at loosening the tension. Definitely need to take her for STATS!!!
Ms. Draper is an amazing professor. She is very caring and worries a lot about her students. I would definitely take her again. She also gives extra credit questions on tests.
She is very passionate about calculus, and she gets students to feel that same passion. She bonds the class together and you'll really feel like the class is a family. She will review topics from earlier prereq courses as a refresher before doing a section that will involve those materials. She is extremely helpful and her tests aren't that hard.
Ms. Draper made statistics easy and accessible. She cares very much about knowing her class and making sure you understand the concepts. Don't miss class, especially quiz days. You DEF need a calculator. Her tests are easier than the mymathlab, so don't worry about that too much. Study your class notes and you should be fine. Not much extra credit.
Ms. Draper is amazing! She really cares about you and makes sure that you are understanding everything. I took 2 classes with her and I would take again if I had to. She is the best!
Ms. Draper is literally the best math professor at Valencia! She is very understanding. If you don't understand something she takes the time to help you out. I took her for Stats and she was amazing. I highly recommend her! If she was teaching another class I needed I would take her in a heartbeat. She's your best option.
This is one of the bet professor I even take, i love her so much. She make the class special, you always will understand, you always can ask question at any time. Take her.
Professor Draper is the best! She is super sweet and makes class fun. I would definitely take her again if I wasnt switching schools in the fall. She always makes sure you understand the material and gives homework for practice but not too much. Everyone says how hard stats is but she makes it easy!
Expected this class to be the hardest thing ever because I got a C in College Alg & I struggled in intermediate math but I was wrong. stats is the EASIEST MATH EVER. I feel so comfortable asking questions. It's honestly cake if you just study. She almost made me want to major in math because of how fun it was. ALMOST lol. mymathlab HW SUCKS.
Dr. Draper does everything she can to help you understand! She knows what students go through, and she understands she's not your only class and her coursework reflects that. She cares about you, she wants you to succeed, and she offers 2nd chances. She will make math sensible, if you're willing to learn! Will definitely take her again later.
Ms. Draper is such a nice lady! I thought Stats was going to be boring but I was completely wrong. Her class was so much fun and her retention rate is really highaka if you take her you're probably going to pass, and with a good score. Take her class, you won't regret it!!
she is the Best,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Professor Draper is the best math instructor Ive had my whole life. She thought us different ways to solve the same problem so that we can choose which was easier for us. Anyone taking any course she teaches please take her ! Shes my math angel, I hate math but loved it with her ! Im so glad I met her while taking another math course !
How are you going to switch up close to the start of classes to show that you are not going to teach a certain class? This professor did not let her students know prior to classes starting. I saw just today the change of professors out of nowhere. I would have liked to be in her class, but she decided to switch up on expecting students.
Best Professor ever, cares about you and the tests are basically variations of homeworks. Homeworks are not graded but you are encouraged to do the homework so you can ace the tests. Her grade is based on the grade that you get on your tests so be prepared
Everyone loves her personality, but she is a horrible teacher. Do not get fooled by the great reviews. Tough on extra credit, grade tests very hard and make errors, and have favoritism towards certain students. She will aid only her favorites. Be warned she is not a good teacher. You're better of teaching yourself.
Amazing teacher. 100/10 would recommend. She gets all the stars. Probably the best person and professor tbh. Just show up and learn and youll be fine cause she actually teaches. First time I actually understood math, which is saying something. What an angel.
Professor Draper is a very talented mathematician. Business Calc was a very difficult course for me. If you have not taken College Algebra recently this makes is that much more difficult to learn. Lots of word problems are required, tons of homework is assigned in order for you to be able to pass the exams. Make sure you speak up if you need help!
Professor Draper is a brilliant math teacher, she is able to create a comfortable and exciting learning environment. However, it is a math class, so don't expect to pass without the minimum commitment required. Just do your homework and show up to class that you will be fine. She really is a great person and great professor. Highly recommended.
Pro. Draper is the best math teacher ever shes nice and very helpful and respectful also. I would take her again and again if I had the chance, she's very clear on explaining how to do the problem and would show you in the easiest way possible. The HW and test are not hard at all, you just have to study and you will be fine.
I started with a different professor but her teaching method wasn't working for me. Ms. Draper only had one available seat and she was kind enough to let me transfer. She was AMAZING! She breaks everything down so its easy to understand. All you have to do is pay attention and do the homework. I definitely will take her for any future math classes!
The best math teacher I've ever had. I never understood math, after taking this class I learned a lot. I can tell that she loves what she does, and she teaches with a lot of passion. Super sweet teacher.
I took her for Calc 1 & Calc 2 shes by far the GOAT of all math professors. Shes a mathematician, math wizard, a real gem! I wish I knew about her earlier I wouldve took her for every math possible. Her teaching style is amazing you will learn. Shes incredible , she really cares about her students. Im so sad that she isnt teaching Calc 3.
I love her what a wonderful professor. She is the best at Valencia
Professor Draper is hands-down the best teacher I've ever had! Super nice! Class is never boring and is soo easy if you come to class every day, listen to her lecture and take notes. No curves, you earn your grades (plenty extra credit). You'll pass with an A! Homework can get hectic if you let it pile up until Sunday but even then still do-able.
Professor Draper is a true gem in the Math department. I went into this class terrible at math, rusty and not confident in my math skills at all. If you put in the same effort that she does, you will accomplish this course and feel good about the amount of math you have learned. She is always there to answer your questions and help.
I love her. She is the best professor that I ever had in Math. If you go to class you will pass the class easly.
Awesome educator. Really wants you to learn the material and presents it in the best way. Participation matters. Aleks is a pain but not terrible. Tests are decent nothing crazy. Super understanding and down to earth. Answers emails, will meet outside of class.
I would highly recommend Professor Draper! Best professor I've ever had! College Algebra is not an easy course! She truly cares for her students and wants them to succeed. She goes above and beyond for her students. She makes College Algebra possible to get an A in. You definitely have to put the time into this course but it is 100% worth it.
She is definitely a spirited character, she loves telling and hearing stories. Be on time, it hurts her feelings when you're not. Lots of online homework, but it's not that bad because she gives lots of notes and goes over the material as many times as you need. Make friends, you'll need each other help.
Take this professor for stat, she one of the best math professors I have ever had. she is amazing, shes understanding and is willing to help you pass her class, she honestly cares about her students. As hard as stats is with her the class makes sense.
Genuinely one of the best math professors I've seen, I've never done so well in a calculus related course. She cares about her work and her students, and she adores teaching math. Everything from the homework and tests are all on MyMathLab. All the resources are there to get a high A. You won't regret taking her class!
Me. Draper was great! I previously had no background in calculus, yet if you just take notes on the lectures, you should have no issues understanding the material. Her mindset is that you shouldnt have to teach yourself! I took this as an accelerated 6 week course online so yes the homework was a little heavy but that makes sense! Great class
Professor Draper is not only a gifted math professor but a great person. Her lectures are very engaging and always involve the whole class actively. The homework is not graded but necessary for comprehension. It's Calc 2 so it's not exactly easy but professor Draper made Calc 2 the closest to 'easy' as you can get in college. Take her.
Honestly one of the most talented math teachers I've ever had. She is very sharp and has a great way of engaging the entire class in lectures. The class structure is good and I always left feeling confident in what I learned. She would also stay after class to help me with concepts and when classes went online, she adjusted very quickly. Take her.
Prof Draper is the best. She is clear about what is necessary to be successful in class. Is very accessible outside of class and understanding. 10/10 would recommend.
It is midnight and I am taking the time to write this to warn you about this professor. Stay far away because she does not care. She give the appearance of caring but she does not. She schedule zoom session for 1.5 hours but I stead of keeping the schedule time, she teaches 3 hours straight and leave no room for assisting students who are confused.
I LOVE Professor Draper! Math WIZ! She knows her math and teaches it better than the books. She starts with baby steps and works her way up which really helps because if you aren't sure about a math concept that you have learned before or have just forgotten about it, she lays out the steps first. The class is fast paced so attendance is a must.
Professor Draper is one of the best math teachers I've ever had. Genuinely cares if you don't understand something and will explain in class or outside. I get confused when I see a negative review(If you take calc 2 the material will be hard with whoever) but she definitely helps slow it down. If you have the choice take her and don't look back
I usually don't ever leave professor reviews, but i had to this time. Professor Draper is actually amazing. I took calc 2 with her online and it was everything i expected. The test are reasonable and usually easier than the homework. SHe leaves plenty of time to get work done and its very rewarding. Take her you will not regret it.
This professor is awesome, I don't really like math but Mrs. Drapper will make you like it.
Professor Dapper made Calc 2 seem very doable even though it is Calc. Attend her lecture, you will not regret it.
Professor Draper is amazing at what she does. Her lectures were clear and to the point, and the homework/quizzes were consistent. Tests were not hard as long as you did the HW and studied. If you cant make her zoom lectures, you can go to her ones shes posted. She really knows what shes talking about. You wont fail this class with her.
The best professor I have had thus far. So understanding and sweet. She literally breaks everything down for you. she makes math so easy to understand. I sucked at math until her. She will help you in any way she can, as long as you put in the work you can not fail. GO TO CLASS!
I cannot recommend her enough for someone like me who sucks at math. She breaks down complex equations and makes everything so understandable. Class is fun to go to and she's very funny and outgoing. You can definitely talk to her and she will reach out to you if you're struggling. Amazing Prof. all around. Pls take her!
Math is usually my hardest subject but with the help and skills of professor Draper, I was able to pass. Best professor I've had, hands down!
Professor Draper made me enjoy this semester a lot, I really looked forward to all the times we had class, She is caring, and a very sweet person. As long as you study for the tests which she does make a review of and do all your homework in Aleks you will pass the class. She as well teaches Calc 2 and will be taking her for Calc 2.
Awesome professor and does her best for her students to learn and pass the class. She gives plenty of homework but it was all well worth it! If you keep up with the quizzes and homework I don't see why you wouldn't get good grades in her class. She's very caring and understanding. If you need to take this class choose her you won't regret it!
For you reader, just click register. The best professor.
Best teacher I had if she teaches you then you getting an A
Ms. Draper is one of the best math professors I've ever taken and recommend her to everyone looking to take College Algebra. Lectures and notes every class to prepare for the tests. Tests and homework on ALEKs and all topics on test are from homework. If she offers study guides or extra credit, do them! Cumulative final from the whole semester.
AMAZING!! Definitely made Calc 2 easy, especially after almost failing Calc 1. She is very caring and will do he absolutely best to make sure that you get the help you need! However, be prepared for the amount of homework, not overly terrible for a math class but definitely requires plenty of time outside the class.
I have always thought that math was not my subject and I kept failing with other profs. In just 6 weeks she layed out everything in a way that really made it easy to understand, just do your work in ALEKS and pass the quizzes. She encouraged the people in the class to know each other so that we'd have a support system, which is so important.
I dropped the class, prof did not really explain anything, just posted the worst laziest videos you will ever watch. Had to teach my self fully till half way through the class. if u watch the videos get ready to get lost since its so unorganized some times she mumbles you don't even know what she is saying.
Proffessor Draper is a good teacher and cares alot genuinely but taking her online has been ROUGH. 5 tests in total, the lectures videos are good but the homework is where you really learn how to do the work and most times I would understand the material then learn something completely new then get lost again. Maybe she's better to take in person.
She isn't a bad professor but the online version of her class is pretty bad, the tests are extremely difficult, the grading is pretty tough and we don't have zoom just videos to watch and they're incredibly hard to follow since it's pretty monotone and boring. I wish I had taken her in person since it seems like the best way to do the class.
Professor Draper is one of the best Mathematics professors Ive ever had, shes very caring, talks to students after class about a whole wide range of Maths topics. Tests are easy if you do your homework (which isnt a lot compared to my other classes). Ive have witnessed her answer every single question a student has asked with sincerity. Worth it.
Clear and concise grading criteria, very test heavy. Took her online, lessons consisted of 1 to usually 2 videos recorded on the given topic. Clear and concise videos, however she would occasionally make mistakes or forget to include exam topics on videos. HW wasn't time consuming. VERY responsive, answers every email and message. Very kind.
Her class was pretty easy and great. She will work with you to solve problems you have. Her videos are pretty helpful. Recommend.
Online is pretty much self-taught. take notes on examples provided on hw to use for reference later. Always do the study guides for tests, and redo them over and over until you are confident. Tests/exams in person but it wasn't hard enough to stress over. Study and you'll do fine. Super accessible and considerate. Very nice professor.
Do not take calc 3 with this professor online! She uploads videos on Fridays we sometimes have 3 assignments due on Monday! The only thing that is graded is HW and tests. She also takes a very long time to grade tests. I recommend taking this professor in person. The online class isn't it. Her lectures are good but can't ask questions directly.
She gives homework every week which are your main assignments, and four tests for each set of sections, my only problem is that she gives no study guides which is not the best so you have to guess what is going to be on the test which was not fun, other than that she is a great teacher if you watch the lectures do the homework and study. MAC2313
Prof Draper made her own videos for each section which I found very helpful. Her exams weren't really like the homework that much and they were a little difficult. I wouldn't take her again because 80% of the grade being exams is a little crazy. If you're a bad test taker, this might not be the best professor for you.
Such an amazing Professor, I had her for college algebra. She really cares about her students and really wants you to pass. As long as you do the homework and study this is such an easy A class. I took her class Summer A Term and there was only 5 tests and final. Super easy and a fun class ! Definitely take her
If you attend the class meetings and do your homework You'll be able to pass with flying colors. Professor Draper is one of the best math professors I have had at Valencia. I took her over the summer half term and it flew by. At first I was worried, but after attending 2 classes I realized it was not hard at all. I will recommend her to anyone!
CALC 2 IN PERSON. Before I start, let me say that Calc 2 is HARD, so you should focus a lot on this class. Professor Sandra Draper is amazing, she explains the topics very well and she always answers questions during class, so make sure to pay attention and take notes. Take her class :) !
She was probably one of the worst teachers I have ever had. Firstly, she goes super fast. I don't recommend this class if you can't comprehend math with 2 problems or less. Secondly, she does NOT like to go back to topics. One time I asked her a question about a problem she did not like that I asked. She answered in a passive aggressive tone.
This is the best math professor I have ever had! She is very patient with you and will double check that you understand the topic at hand. If you do the homework that is assigned to you it is so easy to pass the class cause you will also understand the topics for the exams. 100% recommend her to anyone who needs this class!!!
Professor Draper was honestly the worst teacher ever. She would often go too fast along and she wouldn't spend much time on a topic. The most amount of problems we would do for topics are 1 to 2 problems. If you can't understand math topis with 1 to 2 problems, she is not the one for you. I highly don't recommend this teacher if you are bad at math
Professor Draper is the best math teacher I have ever had! Not only is she super personable but she is amazing at what she does. She takes the time to ensure understanding for students on all levels. Show up to class, do your homework, and engage in the lectures and you will pass easily. We had four tests (one after each unit) and a final exam.
Professor Draper is one of the best math teachers i have had! She cares about her students, if you have a question all you need to do is ask, even after class. She responds to canvas messages quickly. She gives ample resources and even tells you which tutors she would recommend in the learning center and when they are usually available.
Best math prof I have ever had. The lectures are very clear and the homework is like the lectures, the tests are a more difficult version of the lectures. Pay attention in class and do the homework and you will pass. I would recommend Draper to anyone!
The professor herself isn't horrible but DO NOT take her if you plan on semi-learning the material, she grades harshly on her tests and quizzes as she takes off points for notation so beware. Her online but her lectures are good, she will tell you what's on the test just know they are honorlock and the midterm and finals have to be in person.
As long as you pay attention you will pass this class. She is a great teacher and explains everything so well. She gives extra credit one tests and does a hour review before as well. Very kind as long as you make the effort to be there and participate.
So many things to say about her… She's seriously one of the best teachers i've had. I'm pretty bad at math, i was never rlly taught well on it and when i tried it myself i would just get more confused, but this teacher literally helped me understand the basics and everything else. Take her i recommend 100%%
WORST professor I've ever had. I have never failed a class and always do pretty well in math. As math is not my best subject, but I do try my hardest to get good grades. This teacher made it impossible first off. She is incredibly rude and such a harsh grader with extremely difficult homework.
This professor was the worst professor I've ever had. I was not doing well in her class and she did not help me in any way to try and succeed. Therefore, I failed the class and have to retake it so it was not taken for credit. I am now taking the class with new professor. I'm doing good as I now have an A. I would not recommend her at all.
Made me genuinely like learning math. In order to pass Prof Draper's class with a high grade you really just gotta do homework every day so that it doesnt pile up on the weekend and be there on every lecture. Other than that shes an extremely fun professor that goes with the class's flow and not her own - couldnt recommend her enough!
She is very friendly and caring with the class. A lot of homework on ALECKS, but you really feel you are learning the subjects and improving your math skills. Amazing class!
Tests are 80% of your grade, make sure to STUDY FOR TESTS! If you dedicate the time, you will most likely pass the class. Study outside of the class, and look through the textbook. Expect to dedicate around 15-20 hours a week. Tests are done in person / honor lock. Seems like her class is good in person, so if possible, Take It In Person!
No comment
she would start off easy then move onto the next section and would go fast even if you tell her to slow down . Idk if It's because she knows the material it comes to second nature but she also is a good teacher she will help you if you need it I would say stay in the math lab if you know alg 1/2 is not for you . I failed bc I didn't prioritize time
Great professor. I would take her again. She teaches great and takes the time for you to actually learn the information. If you don't understand or if she is going too fast, tell her because she truly wants you to pass the class. It doesn't matter what subject she's teaching; she is able to help you learn and show you easier ways to learn concepts.
