Lanoue somehow manages to teach algebra in vividly clear baby steps. Pass her class you will.
She explains things very clearly, and slowly. She makes sure everyone understands. She makes herself available to anyone that needs her help. Even if Math is one of your weaker subjects, you will understand it.
Sandy makes things clear and makes herself available for instruction outside of class time.She does not like talking during instruction time unless asking questions about the lesson. She gives time at the start of class for review. Wonderful lady.

She was a good instructor. I was just a silly student who couldn't get the Algebra.
I hated Algebra until I took this course under Sandy. She explained basic Algebra as to where I now possess a superior understanding of its basic mechanics.I must admit though Algebra is still not my fav. course; however I no longer fear this type of math. Be prepared for LOTS of homework !
She goes above and beyond to help. She gave us bonus points to replace a test. No homework. And she set up extra study time with us twice a week. If you fail this class, it's not her fault. She should be teacher of the year.
Goes over everything on board. Do your homework. Study for quizes and tests will be easy. She doesn't like it if your late.
SHE IS THE BEST NOONE LIKE HER YOU CANT FAIL
Excellent Prof!She makes the process easy to follow. Helps at every turn.Absolutey the best!Her extra study groups are great. She's an Algebra Angel! Need Math, then don't miss out on taking Ms.Lanoue's class.
If your going to take Algebra, this is the teacher to take!! She goes the extra mile to help anyone who wants to learn. College Algebra is not an easy subject, but Sandy has a way of helping you understand.
third class i have taken with her and she is awesome
Lanoue possesses an uncanny ability to explain things in a way that makes perfect sense. She is vary patient and willing to help, an excellent instructor. I would highly recommend her.
Many dropped her class. Sandy is a nice person but gives to much homework and not much extra credit. You must git it or fail. Hard and fast class. I would not tell anyone to take her class. A bunch dropped out.
Sandy is a hard teacher many dropped her class. I took the class in the summer w/ another professor and made a 97. DON'T TAKE SANDY...Way to much homework she thinks you should understand this math just as she.
Very nice teacher but I didn't learn much from her method of teaching. Summer semester sucks for math.
I took her for basic math also. if you take basic math with her all her classes will make since. she is a great teacher. algebra is hard therefore you have to know all basic math to get prepared. i think alot of people skip basic math because they think they are prepared but they are not, so they are not picking up on the material.
She is a nice teacher but I don't like the way she teaches. She writes everything on the board but doesn't teach you much of anything. This class was difficult for me but when I took the same class with a different teacher, I made an A! Don't figure! If you choose her, get ready for homework and hard test!
She is a great teacher! She explains and works the problems so that you are able to understand them.
Sandy writes everything out clearly on the board; she does not shortcut or skip steps. Her study guides are very helpful and include every kind of problem that will be on the test, so there are no nasty surprises. Tests are worth 105 points, which means you have the opportunity to earn 5 points of extra credit. Excellent teacher!
Very hard teacher..... do not take her classes in the summer !!!!
Very Clear and patient- writes everything out gives lot of oportunity to question ,,she makes this much easier to follow..I sure takeing this class will help me in understanding the steps into Algebra
How exciting can math be anyway? She is very helpful and patient. She posts all the grades on blackboard. I would reccommend her for sure!
Sandy explains everything. She shows every step so you never wander where she got the info. She couldn't do it any more clearly. She is awsome. I wish she taught Calc-1 I'd be okay I'm sure. She is the best math teacher I've taken.
Very nice and patient
I loved the way she taught and she sooo easy. Very helpful and knows what she teaching. Great teacher I give her an A+
Well if you are really good at math like I am don't take her. But if you struggle than you well love her. She goes over everythinig step by step very good which can be boring if you know you stuff. I love the way she grades the homework.
She is an awesome instructor. She is very helpful and easy to understand. She has made math very enjoyable. Test are not suprises or complicated if you pay attention. Overall, I wish she would teach Cal-1.
Sandy is priceless. She is clear, extremely helpful, and grades fairly. More mathematics teachers should be like her!
Ms. Lanoue is the "Best" math teacher i've ever had in my life! She explains perfectly, makes arrangements for students, and gets the point across clearly. Test/Quizes are simple if you study. She cuts no slack about grading though. She also misses days and lets class out early (a major plus). Great Teacher. Have fun.
GREAT TEACHER: MADE MATH VERY EASY!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE HER!!
She is the best teacher! Very clear, very patient. I had to retake this class and she is so much better than the other instructor.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E TEACHER!!!!! TAKE HER SHE WILL HELP YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!! I MISS HER!!
This class was hard.and imgood at math..she teachesalright but theway the class is set up makes italmost impossibleto get an a or even a b. homework is on coursecompass and graded.she crammed to teach useverything in the last couple weeks..verydisappointed. thefirst test wetook in therewas easy she takes offfor small errorsgrades hardevenclasswork!
She's the best. If you don't pass her class or find her difficult your not taking care of your classroom responsibilities. Grow up, your in college now!Show up for class, do your work,ask for help if you need it. I wasn't good at math;however, I applied myself and made an A. Thank you Sandy, your great!Now I'm tutoring.
If you do the homework this class is alot easier. It's all on course compass on the internet. Homework counts as bonus points that can take the place of a test so you do the homework you'll get a good grade.
While she is not an exciting teacher, she is paitent, goes over everything. Uses e-compass for homework. If math is not your thing..she is the teacher for you. She always answers questions and goes over test & homework if you request it. I liked her but she is a bit boring.
She teaches baby steps in each and every problem to make sure that you understand how to do Alg. She was great teacher and I'm taking her again for Col. Algb.
great instructor for the visual learner.
Sandy is great. She takes her time to make sure everyone is okay and if anyone has questions before she moves on. She does need to work on when she has lab time. If she wants everyone to go to lab it should be done as soon as class starts and not at the end of class. Would be great if she could review previous class work before moving on.
I really struggle with math, she is heaven sent! If you are like me and need that extra bit of info or help, take Sandra Lanoue. Alway prepared for class and VERY professional. Not hard on the eyes either :)
Lanoue is a great teacher!! She breaks the math problems down step by step, and made the material easier to understand. If i needed help she would help me to better understand problems. I highly recommend her!!
Lanoue is an awesome teacher! Very helpful and VERY encouraging. I constantly worried about my grade because I am terrible with Algebra but she always had time to help me and to go over everything with me. She is very patient and always tried to make the information easier to take in. If you have the opportunity to have one of her classes..TAKE IT!
In high school the highest grade I go in math was a "C". I passed this class with an "A". She is by far THE BEST math teacher I have ever had. She explains things in steps and gives you several examples before moving on. She treats HW as extra credit and announces tests/quizzes before hand. She always answers any question asked. Highly suggest her.
Took the 16week Algebra Internet Class, not going to lie, it was tough, lot of work, lot of hours to put in, plenty of extra credit, the only hard part was the chapter test.. tough! but im no ace with math anyways. Some advice if you take it, "Ctrl + PrintScreen" All of your notes, and save in MS Word, made it much much easier for me!
She's really easy to understand, very helpful when you need it. Not very exciting, but the homework is always optional, which makes this class very easy to handle.
Simple to get an "A" and i'm awful at math. Homework is optional but if you do it all, it is helpful for practice and can replace a test grade at the end of the semester. She is a helpful teacher; guides you through and wants you to ask for help. Book not used. Classwork is at random so try to attend- she drops low grades though :] RECOMMENDED!!!!!
She is a great teacher. An easy A pretty much. I highly recommend her. =]
Great teacher i had to miss lots of class but i still have been able to pull a B at least highly recommended
GREAT teacher!!! She is very helpful and went over all the exams for partial credit. I took the online class and she still communicated to us very well. She is always there for questions and help!
Great teacher and very helpful. I took her algebra class in 2007 and she crunched material to make it for the final but tests were not hard.
Outstanding teacher!!!... defiantly recommend her for any math class! Fantastic. If you struggle in math, Lanoue is defiantly the teacher to take, She goes over everything and is so clear! TAKE LANOUE!!
She is a great teacher. She explains everything more than one way so you can find what works for you. She is more than willing to help and I just used MYMATH LAB. I didn't even buy a book.
FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! I would take her again for any math anytime. She drops three low scores at end of semester and gives plenty of opportunity to gain extra credit.
I didn't like this class!!! It's self taught. Very difficult. I paid a tutor and had help and unless you devote 15-20 hrs a week and aren't great with math you will struggle. The final exam covers additional chapters, and they can't tell how much from those last two chapters. Total bunk. HW doesn't count as part of the grade but practice exams ar
There is WAY too varied of material covered in the exams. She DOES NOT drop grades, as I read on here. It is not presented clearly what to study most on for the exams. She may be a better teacher in person, but I HATED this online format. You HAVE to be able to teach yourself the material, if you are not confident in that, DON'T try this class.
Very fair, sticks to her rules. I don't understand those who gave her a poor rating, they must be lazy or partying too much to study. I would take her for any math class.
Mrs. Lanoue was a great calc 1 teacher! She's really nice and helpful. I loved that she taught with examples from homework and the book. She drops your lowest quiz grade & will replace lowest test grade with grade you make on the final, if it is higher.Hard class, but you can get an A if you do the work & study. :)
Very good at explaining
Online class was awful! I struggled the whole time but was getting a low B, Took final and failed so I got a D in the class.
NICE LADY JUST GETS AGITATED IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE FIRST TIME
She is a great math teacher! I was dreading math before the start of this spring semester and I passed the class with a B+! She explains everything clearly and is helpful in and out of class. I've never gotten math or did I enjoy it, but this semester I did! Handouts every class, study guide for tests! I would definitely recommend taking her!
Fall 2012 online class, did not buy the book, can make a 70% on the final and still get an A. Lot of bonus points, very helpful and quick to respond with clear and detailed answers. I dropped out of school 20 years ago and was very fearful of College Algebra. S. Lanoue made it clear and very easy to understand. Awesome teacher, highly recommended!
Very good teacher. She explain things clearly and is willing to help you until you understand the material.
Mrs.lanoue is an ok teacher she will help if u need it bt for me she went over the material too fast before i could finally understand one problem she was on to the next. I dont think I will take her again. Only gives a couple bonuses and its too much homwork. The final was hard.
Took her online class. Mymathlab is required. Didn't have to do the practice questions but if you don't want to buy book, DO THEM!! I taught myself that way. There are due dates for quizzes, practice tests, and tests (tests must be taken at a campus). Overall, I liked this class.
Ms. Lanoue is the greatest math teacher HANDS DOWN! If you show up to class, pay attention, and participate in classroom activities YOU WILL LEARN! Ask her questions. She welcomes them. I have recommended her to even the most math challenged persons I know!
I feel obligated to rate this professor! I wasted my whole time because I listened to these ratings. This professor is horrible, anytime I asked a question she did not know the answer. I read word 4 word the question and she would say "uh..uh..uh..you know why don't you just come in" DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! You will be alone in this course!
Lanoue is a great teacher. She was always helpful. She helped me during her office hours multiple times. She was a little heavy with the homework but it paid off. The homework was always tougher than the tests. She does not give out grades but does give extra credit opportunities. I ended up with a 100 in her calc 1 cl ass. I wish she taught calc 2
Mrs. Lanoue is a WONDERFUL Algebra teacher. Her lectures are clear and you aren't left wondering "what is she talking about" There is a test every 2 chapters and a study guide for each test. The class before each test we go over the study guide. To fail this class you really have to try. She is so sweet. TAKE HER!!
Must purchase book and on line disk - costs $250+ but worth it to pass the class! it's a pretty tough course but she will help the students, don't be afraid to ask or go to her for help! she is like most people be nice and honest and she does the same. Really a great teacher
Easiest class I have ever taken. Completely clear on everything she teaches and is there to answer any questions.
Great teacher! Answers any questions you have, homework isn't too bad but still easier than the test questions. Gives extra credit every now and again and makes sure you understand the material. Would definitely recommend.
I had her for College Algebra and I would definitely take her again. She has handouts you can print from Blackboard and then fill out during her lecture. Decent amount of tests and quizzes but if you ever need help, she'll go out of her way to get it to you. Also, don't buy the book. You won't need it.
She is the best math teacher!! If you don't think math is your strong suit I would so recommend her. She has handouts, videos, and gives examples before class. Whats on the notes are pretty much the homework, quizzes, and exams. Once you are done with homework you get to leave class unless you have further questions. TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT!!
She is a good instructor, very easy to follow. She does examples in class and welcomes questions. Homework is done online. She gives study guides for tests and goes over some of the problems in class that students ask her to. Its a lot of work but if you do the work and come to class you should do fine.
I was going to drop this class because I thought it would be too difficult, but now it's the end of the semester and I have a 94. You definitely have to work for it, but Mrs. Lanoue will always help you out. Class is boring, but you have to go if you expect to understand everything. I would recommend her to any one!
I took Mrs. Lanoue for online College Algebra. She was very helpful and encouraging and the extra credit opportunities were very nice. She is very fast at responding to emails which is always a plus for online classes. She gives test preps before every test which helps a lot. I would definitely take one of her classes again.
A nice lady. Loved the study guides she gives for each section to write notes on. There is a lot of work but nothing too terrible. Do all of the assignments and you will be just fine when finals come around. I would take her if you find math difficult because she explains step by step, and she trains you on how to use your calculator.
Sandy is a great professor. She really wants you to understand the material and be successful to move on to college algebra. She is no-nonsense, and very focused on making sure you are paying attention but that's because you need to pass the final to get into college algebra. Very friendly and approachable if you need help though.
Amazing professor. She is very knowledgeable on the subject and writes problems on the board for every section. Goes over problems slowly and will repeat problems if you don't understand them. Tests are not hard if you study, and she will give study guides for each test. The study guides are relevant and have the same types of problems.
Took College Algebra and she actually wants you to know your stuff. She constantly tells the class to stop by her office if anything doesn't make sense or if we need help. There's manageable/ not too much homework at all. Does review in class before exams.
I've always been just ok/decent at math but professor Lanoue helped me understand it much better. I actually took her for online math and did horrible, I highly recommend not taking an online math course. Not a ton of homework but an average amount and she will go over problems on homework and exams with the class if needed. Very helpful professor.
I took her online college algebra course and the work load is very heavy. You really need to pay attention to the videos and TAKE MANY NOTES. There is a total of four proctored exams and she gives you partial credit to score the best as possible. There are many quizzes but the actual homework portion is not mandatory. overall hard but bearable.
Miss. Lanoue is a great teacher. Shes easily accessible, gives PLENTY of extra credit, plenty of homework assignments and quizzes. Gives you every opportunity to make an A. Lots of homework but its good because it makes the quizzes and tests really easy. Her study guides are literally the test itself. Put forth effort, get an A.
This professor is very kind, she tries to help every student and provides you with the material needed to pass. You'll have lots of homework but it's not hard. She is great!
I took Basic Math/Beginning Algebra. The material is very easy but you are doing a lot of work in this class. if you aren't doing homework every day you will fall behind very quickly. If you need both of these credits take this combined course. Like I said it's very easy material. Just be prepared to work.
I took her online College Algebra class. If you complete all your assignments by her goal due dates, you will be golden. I'm terrible at algebra and passed. She is excellent at returning emails and making sure you understand the material. Pay attention to announcement updates because she does extra credit.
She is a great instructor! You would not regret taking her. She gives great lectures and is specific. The way she teaches makes math seem like an easy/simple subject to pass. She can definitely change people's perspective of how hard/ confusing math is !! Which ever math course you plan to have her as an instructor, she will make it easy for you
Sandra was an excellent professor. I had taken this class twice before, one in class and one online, and I struggled. I finally took Sandra's course this last semester. She emails you every week with reminders of what is due, she gives a chance for extra credit for every exam, including the final. If you need this class I would take her.
She wants you to learn college math not just pass her tests! Very quick to respond to her students. Will answer email questions very quickly
She is awesome teaching math! Yes you will have homework almost everyday but it will prepare you for the quizzes/tests. She gives a lot of extra credit. She doesnt like students to show up late constantly and she may appear to be strict, but she is not. Just do what she tells you and will you pass. She will even help outside the classroom.
Class is a typical online math class, it was a lot of work for a summer course, but that was expected. Prepare for 3-5, 30 question assignments a week. Prof Lanoue was incredibly easy to reach out to, she responds usually within a few hours and she offers office hours. Definitely recommend this teacher for online for that reason alone.
Profesor Lanoue is a great teacher. She is very thorough and hits every teaching method there is. Her test study guides are extremely helpful and will prepare you for her tests as long as you study and ask questions.
Does not give you formulas on test expects you remember 5 different formulas on one test so if you have trouble memorizing do not take!! Also her tests are Fill the blank dont recommend taking her class at all!
rofessor Lanoe is amazing math instructor. Enrolled in her spring PrecalcusII course . Her lectures were informative and she offered her own mnemonic devices to help learn the material. There was quite a bit of homework but with study guides and practice problems it really prepares you for the test. You can really tell she loves to teach.
Very clear lectures. Thoroughly explains how and why and provides lots of sample problems. Provides many opportunities for help outside of class hours and responds promptly to emails. Has a generally sunny disposition.
Willing to help you!
Professor Lanoue has clear lectures and provides ample opportunities for help. She's very engaging and makes algebra more manageable. For study prep, Unstuckstudy and the textbook were super helpful along with attending class.
Professor Lanoue is a wonderful teacher. I was in her Quantitative Reasoning MATH1473 course. She explains things so clearly. She also answers any questions. She always makes sure to not let any of her students get left behind. She really goes above and beyond.
