Best math teacher at this school. I actually learned out of this class.

very good teacher! very clear about how to do things. willingly to help!! highly recommended

she actually cares about her students doing well. she tries to help in any way she can, encourages us to visit her office if we need extra help, and even held an optional review session for our midterm. very helpful, very nice, very good overall!

Very helpful, i understand her teaching more than lecutre. She clarifies the material and is very sweet

She's a great teacher; you can tell she really enjoys math and is passionate about it. She's always willing to help and has midterm and final review sessions. For College Algebra she takes attendance but it doesn't directly affect your grade; if you're borderline on a grade she can see how consistent you were with attendance. Great teacher overall!

Very nice teacher...helps alot.....better to unersatnd then lecture....very shy, and at times way too nice to undeserving and rude students.

Altough she is a good teacher and explanes the matierial well, I feel like i'm in middle school/high school. In my pre-calc class she would give the students ungraded busy work to fill the usual 30 mins, that if you don't stay for, it will hurt your grade. If you're an indepent learner that dosn't need to be baby-sit I would not take this class.

Great teacher! I don't know how she is when she teaches lecture, but in lab she is very helpful and easy-going. if you look over your notes before taking the weekly quizes, you'll do fine. When it comes to the quizes, you'll have an 8 question quiz every week, but she does a review session before the quiz for those who have questions!!

Im very bad at math, but this class was not so hard. Its boring but when is math not? She is always available to help students. Quizes are easy if you pay attention and DO THE REVIEW WORKSHEETS! They are almost exactly like the quiz.

take her i got 100 on the midterm. do i need to say more.

She may seem tough, but if you just pay attention, ask questions and show interest in the class she can be very helpful.

She is a great professor that practically begs students to go to her office. As along as you show an interst in the course, do your hw, and do the online quizzes; you'll get an easy A. I study for 3 days in a span of 10 weeks and I got an A.

Professor Maldonado is an absolute dream to have as a teacher. She regularly encourages students to come to her study groups and office hours and will try to be available whenver you need her. I am not good in math and I still got an A in this class with her help. Definitely take Maldonado!

Shes awesome. its precalc so not the easiest class in the world, but she makes it manageable. NO book thanks to course compass. shes ALWAYS available during office hours and notes are pretty good as well. ATTEND class for any hope of getting a lil bit of grace on final grade. and lastly she gives review packets JUST LIKE THE ACTUAL TESTS (ONLY 2) G

Attendance is definitly required. She uses my math lab so that makes life so much better. Make sure you do the homework and quizzes .. homeworks are easy As and so are the quizes because she gives out groupwork worksheets and thats what the quizzes are on. 2 test midterm and final(do the study guides) cmon how easier can this be

Pr. Maldonado is great, very organized, clear and fair. She knows her subject very well unlike some other professors. P.S.: I don't think you can achieve your dreams by cheating and copying someone else's answers!

She is an awesome teacher. Easy as hell and very clear. Lowest exam dropped, lowest 3 HW dropped, lowest 2 quizzes dropped. Take her!

Easy to understand the material in class. Exams were not too hard, and she drops one exam, quiz, and homework assignment! Very nice teacher and would recommend to anyone who needs to take Pre-Calculus.

Pretty easy class, just make sure to do your homework and show up to lectures. She uses an overhead projector and takes time to explain everything, and even color-codes it.

Great teacher! Tests are mostly multiple choice and exactly like the reviews and quizzes are exactly like the group work.

This teacher is the best!! She has easy notes that you print and take to class. Uses coursecompass so the homework is an easy A. Her test review are the test with different numbers. Ive only missed one question on every test! Best teacher, take her!

Excellent professor, the best I had this semester. Was able to answer any question asked in class, made arrangements for students several times to take quizzes or exams outside of the class, and always knew what she was talking about. I will, and already have, recommend her to everyone.

All her exams were multiple choice she would even have extra credit on some of them. Most of the exams has 25 multiple choice questions. The final had 45 multiple choice questions. I would highly recommend on doing the review its posted on course compass, since it looks similar to the exams

very helpful

Excellent instructor. Very organized. Very interested in student success. Makes learning goals for the course very clear. Very good at explaining difficult math concepts. Held optional review sessions for exams and does not surprise with unexpected kinds of problems. Very nice and very fair but do not expect to pass without learning the material.

Made precal extremely easy!! puts notes up online which are extremely helpful (never used the book). Gives a study guide before every exam which is EXACTLY like the exam, the only difference is the numbers used in the problems. Drops lowest test and two lowest quizzes. Ended with an A+.

This teacher was very good. She was always interested in if the class understood the topic at hand.

I had her for intermediate algebra. She was not very interesting but she was a good teacher who clarified everything. She was very willing to help students who did not understand the material. For an easy A, I reccommend taking her. Also, the study guides are very similar to the actual exams.

Professor Maldonado is great. Her notes and study guides are extremely helpful. I definitely recommend her for Precalc!!!

She is a very good teacher. Precalc is extremely boring so don't expect class to be fun, but I don't think I've ever had a math teacher who could present concepts as clearly as she does.

Professor Maldonado was fantastic! She was very clear, explained concepts extremely well. I highly recommend her as a professor.

Her notes and study guides are helpful. Overall good teacher. The only problem I had was that the final was 30% of your grade and cumulative. Very harsh.

As long as you do/understand the questions on the Chapter Reviews she gives before each test then you'll get an A. The reviews are exactly like the test, just with different numbers. I got 105% on every single test and a 97% on the Final...and I hate math. So if you want an easy A in Precalc, I suggest taking her.

THIS PROFESSOR THE FIRST DAY SEEMED A LITTLE HARSH BUT AFTER THE FIRST WEEK SHE STARTED ACTUALLY TEACHING. SHE DOES A DECENT JOB AND WORKS ALL THE PROBLEMS OUT ON THE OVERHEAD PROJECTION.AS EVERYONE HAS MENTIONED IF YOU WANT TO PASS THE CLASS YOU MUST DO THE REVIEWS!SHE EVEN WILL HAVE A DAY OF STUDY TIME ON THE WEEKEND-VERY HELPFUL.CANT GO WRONG.

great teacher

Awesome professor. Clear as can be and is super helpful and nice. Do the reviews before the exams and that's half the exam. She's excellent at explaining the subject.

She's a good teacher but in a large room it might be a bit hard to hear her as her voice doesn't carry. She does explain the problems well and will happily go over things more than once or answer questions. Use her office hours if you need them as it might be better to have one-on-one explanations for confusing topics.

There's no doubt that Precalculus is a time-consuming, difficult class. Mrs. Maldonado made Precalculus simple and easy. As long as you attend every class, do the homework, & complete the reviews, you'll be good to go. I passed the class with a 100.2%. It's doable. She's available at all times, but you must be willing to put in the effort yourself.

Extremely helpful, easy to understand, tests aren't bad at all. wants everyone to pass

One of the best math teachers I've ever had in my life. Her tests are exactly like the class work and each chapter she has reviews online that she takes basically off there but with different numbers. She cares about you passing so show up, do the homework and this class is an easy A.

Take her! 1 CH per exam, but she provides study guides that are identical to the real one (different numbers). Completing her study guides and attending review sessions is the key to passing. Replaces your lowest exam with your final exam grade. Make sure you have a printer handy because notes are LENGTHY. Other than that, I recommend!

She is a great professor. You really have to work hard, but her reviews are exactly the same as the test with just different numbers. So study the reviews for each test and memorize how to do them in advance as you go and you will receive an A!

Maldonado is a tough teacher, but she is fair. The flipped classroom really worked for me. The group projects were a little monotonous but that is my only complaint. Lessons are very clear and grading is fair.

Has online video lectures which can be confusing at times but she is super helpful in office hours. The review she gives for each test is very accurate to the info u need to study for the exams. Offers decent extra credit and drops several grades at the end of the semester. She's very caring about students succeeding and will always help.

Her class involves filling out the notes at home and then in class we work in groups to complete worksheets. I thought her teaching method was good and I learned the material well. The notes can be time consuming, but her tests are pretty easy and very similar to the online reviews. She drops enough grades at the end to bump you up a TON.

She is a good professor and goes along with the notes. She does tend to over complicate things and teach things the harder way, but other than that its a good class.

Maldonado is a true gem. She is as caring as my mother yet as strict as my dad. She is a lovely lady. She is always open for questions and is very approachable. She drops the lowest grade from each of the sections including exams, quizzes, and group work. After these dropped grades my grade sky rocketed like the Apollo space ship into space.

Each chapter has an exam that is extremely similar to the chapter reviews. Stay on top of the homework and you will pass. She warns you if theres an in class quiz. Drops a ton of low scores. The group project gives you extra points towards the final. Ask her plenty of questions during class! She is very helpful, but follows the syllabus to a T.

She's a great professor, and if you show up, you'll get an A. The work is easy and she's easy to get into contact with outside of class. She's very helpful and made learning math simple.

Her lectures are easy to follow along with bc she has notes pre-made for you to fill out. She is always accessible outside of class, always very prompt in responding. She is very considerate, she pushed back deadlines multiple times. She also is overly fair with her drops. Be respectful and she will be kind to you. 10/10

Loved this class, the set up of her class makes it easy to understand the material and what is going on. She creates her own packets that she follows in class which is super straight forward. Exams are relatively easy and she gives out a good amount of extra credit.

She is very intelligent and helpful. Make no mistake, there is A LOT of homework, but you honestly don't even have to do it, its like 10% of your grade. The exams are what matters and she provides an excellent study guide for them all. She also drops the lowest exam grade. If you get less than a B in this class, its honestly your fault.

There were 3 exams and a final and they were a huge percentage of our grade. But she provided study guides for each exam and they were always identical to the exams, so that was very helpful. She gave a lot of homework and quizzes on MyLabsPlus, but they don't affect your grade too much. She also dropped our lowest homework, quiz, and exam scores.

This is the best math prof I have ever had! She gives so much extra credit, she is always available (even on weekends), and the lectures are really good. Lots of homework, but it helped a lot. She does review sessions that are super helpful before each exam. Plus, the exams are multiple-choice and pretty easy! I ended with a 100.45% in her class.

Prof. Maldonado is one of the best math prof. I have ever taken! She is super friendly and is always willing to help. If you are having trouble on a certain topic, I HIGHLY recommend going to her office hours. She will personally sit down with you and explain any problem in depth. I also recommend printing out the notes she gives through canvas.

Professor Maldonado is a passionate instructor when it comes to math. She also shows care for her students. She shows this by constantly reminding her students about office hours. She does give out homework pop quizzes. However, she also reminds about any of those upcoming activities. If you study for this class, you will definitely pass.

Was a great professor and really good at explaining the material and was helpful during office hours. All tests are multiple-choice and are just like the study guide.

I do not like math, but I have never had such an easy time with a math course. She makes notes you can print out and fill in as you go so you can listen more during lectures. Good video lectures too. Always reminds us of upcoming assignments, and offers review sessions before exams. Do the homework and notes and there will be plenty of easy points.

I really enjoyed her class. She does a mix of a flipped classroom and in-person teaching but it's all really easy to follow because she gives an outline you can print out. The material is expectedly difficult but she always had office hours and gives study guides that are very similar to the tests.

Best math teacher thus far! I for one always had to work a bit harder at math, but she makes Pre-Calculus very, very straightforward. Her notes are detailed and are right to the point, and are very similar if not identical to problems on the homework. DO THE EXAM REVIEWS! Her exam reviews were by far the most helpful, as they are similar to exams.

Maldonado makes you work for the grade. Tons of homework and quizzes which was unnecessary. Class is a breeze if you keep up with lectures and fill out study guides as they are emblematic of the exams. However, even after scoring 100% on all of her exams, she still makes you take the final which is beyond me. Final is 25% of your grade.

She is amazing, her lectures are easy to understand. She has note outlines you can follow along with. The class has mini in-class quizzes to keep you on track (nothing hard) and home quizzes for each chapter. The homework isn't crazy. Use the study guides for the exams they are an accurate depiction of what will be on the test. Just do your work.

Best math professor at FGCU. Profesor Maldonado is so sweet and caring and is willing to make sure her students get the material. Her office hours are helpful and ensure you understand. Make sure to do the exam reviews early and go to office hours to go over the ones you did not understand.

I took this class over summer which is really long on lectures. Make sure to study before exams and bring any questions ahead. I got a C on my midterm and was able to score nearly perfect score on the final by doing this.

Great overall, and had a ton of online videos if you ever need to review anything from class.

PICK HER IF POSSIBLE, honestly she is a wonderful professor who provides note outlines which you can use to follow along in class, said outlines are also very helpful for her homework assignments. Also, her exam reviews are almost identical to their respectful exam, so as long as you understand the review, it is a easy A or B for her exams.

She's a good professor, 4 exams which are weighted heavily and a final. I suggest using the study guides and making sure you understand the concepts. She does give formula sheets and her note outlines are helpful but the class is kinda teach yourself. We had some pop quizzes and the homework would be a lot sometimes. Put the work in.

Math is not my strongest subject but I ended up really liking this professor. She did a very good job explaining the content in class and she gives a very reasonable amount of homework compared to other professors. She has plenty of office hours and your lowest exam grade is replaced with your final if you do better.

She is a great professor! We get to practice problems while in class. She and her LA always walk around the room during this time to guide students. She uploads exam reviews to canvas. Constant feedback and emails about upcoming assignments. She wants her students to do well and always discusses office hours and the agenda for the next few weeks.

Great professor! She sent us messages multiple times a week reminding us of deadlines and office hours. I like the way she lectures and her explanations are very helpful to understand the content. Make sure to study her exam reviews because they have very similar questions that will be on exams.

Super sweet woman! TAKE HER! Makes own notes and fills them out with the class. Will be "pop quizzes" but she will tell you when they are. Just study the notes she gives you and you are destined to get an A+! If you miss a day, she already has videos for what you missed! Lowest grade replaced by final if higher! TAKE HER!!!

flipped classroom majority of semester; notes taken from her own videos, which is graded. has pop quizzes but usually tells u before. practice tests are almost exactly like exams; few to none extra credit opportunities. classes often consist of groupwork which are about hw the night before; lowest exam dropped. overall, fairly easy. take her!!
