great teacher, very helpful, good at explaining...the course is hard though...but she is very nice and helpful

I think to this and any other Math class is going into it having already mastered one area and are ready to go on to something else. Dr. Jones assumes that you already have full function of prior math skills. My only complaint is she should have moved beyond students that constantly weren't getting the new material and continued on schedule.

Absolutely loved her! Phenomenal teacher, really enjoys what she does, is enthusiastic about teaching and never leaves you confused. I am an okay math student, and never did great on tests, but thats my fault, she is super understanding and will cut you slack. I will only sign up for her math classes:)

One of my favorite teachers! Jones was always willing to help and always returned e-mails no matter what time. It was very clear from the first class meeting that she is passionate about her work and loves sharing her passion with others. I highly recommend taking her class if you get the chance.

She is super helpful does reviews of homework in class and will help you out a ton if you are having a hard time. She doesn't move on until everyone understands what is going on. She also gives out pratice tests and if you do them you will always be prepared for your tests.

Sara is great! She explains new material in multiple ways so that it is accessible to all students. Go to class, do your homework (Statlab is so helpful!) and you will do great.

Sara is a great teacher! I've taken 27 with her, am taking 58 with her now and plan on taking 1A with her next semester. Homework is half text, half MathLab, which makes learning new concepts easy. The lectures are good, with adequate examples of each new concept. It helps that she's very excited by the subject matter as well.

She is the best stats teacher ever! Enjoyed going to class because she made everything so clear from formulas to using the calculator. Offers many group quizzes but sometime are a surprise so go to class. Study guides are a must, yet long, but are way harder than actual exam. Cares about every students grades. One group project, fairly easy.

She's really nice and genuinely cares about whether or not you get the material. The biggest problems are that people take advantage of her niceness to manipulate the class's schedule and she assigns a lot of homework (every day both online and textbook work due) BUT a 8x10 sheet of notes per test (only in her stats class, not in calc)

As long as you beat the practice tests to death, nothing will surprise you. People talking about the class being difficult let the math intimidate them. If you aren't afraid to ask her questions she will spend hours after class if you need them.

Dr. Jones has the knowledge and teaching ability to explain very complicated mathematical concepts in a clear and digestible way. Her practice tests do a very good job of preparing you for the actual tests, and count for serious extra credit at the same time. Homework is very time consuming and challenging, but serves to solidify understanding.

Sara is a great mathematician and willing to help. Her class will require rigor and stamina, but you'll exit the class with a much better understanding of math in general. Lots of extra credit is available on tests that can bump you up a whole letter grade. Attendance is mandatory from Math 1A on, you will probably not pass if you don't attend.

I took this class as a TTH night class this past fall semester and I really enjoyed it. My only gripe is that the practice final that was handed out was completely irrelevant, which is strange considering that the other practice tests were pretty spot on. The difficulty of the class ramps up in the third month unexpectedly, watch out. I had fun.

I absolutely hated this class, it was VERY time consuming, but if I had to do it again, I would take it with this instructor. She is one of the best math teachers I have had so far. She really makes you work hard for your grade, but if you're looking to learn, she is the best. Extra credit is long, but can be earned with hardwork.

This class was very difficult but very rewarding. If you can survive to the end, you will be dreaming in calculus. Grading is very fair, homework load is moderately absurd(Evil web assign _), and help is always available from the teacher. Get help from her as much as you can. This is not an Easy A class, you will work hard. It was worth it.

She is a great teacher that makes you work for your grade. She really wants you to understand the material so there is no easy way out but do to learn how to do everything without a calculator. Just commit to her class and you will do just fine.

I struggle with math, it has never been one of my strengths. I hadn't taken a math class in years and was nervous about it. The learning environment in the class was very welcoming. The Online homework was helpful. The quizzes are done in groups, which was a great way to learn. I'd recommend her, especially if you need some extra help.

Sara is by far the best professor I've ever had. She's clear about what she expects and she only gives you the grade you deserve. She goes over plenty of examples in her lectures and is easy to get ahold of if and when you have questions. I'd recommend her to anyone and I look forward to taking another class of hers.

Amazing teacher! Will definitely work with you and take time to explain things more in depth in her office hours. If she sees you putting in the effort, she will too. Uses mathematical jargon a bit too much, but will dumb it down for you if needed. Do your homework, take your notes and show up and you'll pass. Hard, but definitely fair.

Professor Jones is a great teacher. I'm not even good at math and I passed this class with a B. When I started to fall behind she even went out of her way to email me and ask if I needed extra help! Her "pop quizzes" under feature of hers is a joke she gives them but also lets you work together AND checks them so you'll get full credit. I recommend

Taking this class was the first time that math really clicked for me. That being said, I really had to work for it. If your field of study is related to math in any way (mathematics, physics, compsci) take Sara. She will prepare you for later classes very well. If you are not however, I would recommend a different teacher.

Professor Jones has helped me a lot during Math 1B; I ended up getting a 100% on my first Math 1B test because she was tough on integration (pretty much pushed me to do work on my own). She's tough, but she prepares you for Calc 2. You'll also realize her extra credit from practice tests are helpful, even though the tests don't match, LOL!

After coming on here to look up Professor Jones I was already dreading it. Turns out she was one of the best math instructors i have taken at the JC. Allows test corrections on test students did poorly in and also notes on test. Only knock on her is she's hard to reach outside of class. Her office hours vary sometimes. Overall would take again.

I feel like a lot of her reviews here are unjust. She can be hard to follow at times but is very nice and does her best to make sure every student gets it. She allows note cards on tests, quizzes are take-home, and the practice test is worth 5 ec points. She gives a lot of homework but in a class like 1B, doing a lot of homework is necessary.

She is an incredible teacher! Math is tough, but she really works with you if you put in the effort. Her office hours are clearly outlined and shes always there ready to help. Shes very personable and is well versed in all the mathematical things.

Sarah is a very great teacher. She cares a lot about her students and offers a lot of extra credit throughout the class to help you pass. Sometimes the lectures moved really slow, and there was a lot of busy work but it was easy work. I do wish we spent more time learning applications of the math rather than the thoery. I would still recoomend her

Professor Jones was great in my opinion. I took MATH15 the semester that Covid began, so I had half the semester in person and half online with her. The work is difficult but she gives you every chance to succeed if you show up, do the work, and do your best. I studied a lot and asked a lot of questions, and passed with an A and I learned a LOT.

I really appreciated the clarity of this course. She is a fair grader and gives extra credit for exams. There is a lot of homework which does have to be hand-written and I got discouraged by it, but I think that was also COVID burnout. She allows notes on exams and you should have no problem getting an A if you do all the work. Recommended!

I took her Linear Algebra class, and it was great. This subject is tough, but she helped me pass this class with A. Ask her questions or visit her during office hours, then you will have no problems passing. Very caring and nice person. I really really want to take her other classes.

Homework is routine every class, you get lots of note papers on the tests, calculator shortcuts are used for everything, and you can always come in early for guidance. There are two group projects but they're not too difficult (data collection and informal write up). As long as you turn stuff in, you'll pass this class.

Sara Jones is a great teacher who really wants to see her students not only understand the material but excel in the class. She at times allows test corrections and is very lenient with grading. Go to class, do the homework, study the material, and you'll do great in her class.

Sara Jones is a great teacher who really wants to see her students not only understand the material but excel in the class. She at times allows test corrections and is very lenient with grading. Go to class, do the homework, study the material, and you'll do great in her class. You actually have to try to fail the class.

Professor Jones is an incredibly caring and empathetic person who wants to see her students succeed. She is a bit heavy on homework, but gives practice exams which are worth 5 extra credit points towards your exam grade. She'll sometimes allow test corrections for half of the points of the problems you missed on an exam as well!

Professor Jones is passionate about the subject and it's applications and does a good job of introducing you to the concept of mathematical proofs in this linear algebra class. A very fair grader, gives out practice exams which are worth 5 extra credit points towards your exam grade, and will do test corrections sometimes. An amazing teacher!

The one thing that I would say sets Sara apart from the rest of the Math department is her genuine devotion to all of her students; even and especially those who are struggling. As with all teachers, her lectures aren't always perfect, but they are damn near close. She encourages a more wholistic view of Math. (Also she's a freaking genius)

She cares deeply, is flexible, understanding. If you are falling behind or struggling, talk to her. Quizzes are 'group' tasks, and u can get help from her/Math Lab. Often allows Test Corrections, getting up to 1/2 of lost pts back. Practice Tests are 5 pts EC on tests. Her lectures contained small errors, but were clear in concept. Lotsa homework.

Lots. Of. Homework. An insane amount, especially if you have a busy life. However, Professor Jones is very kind and I liked her lectures. You can tell she actually cares about what she teaches. Her grading scale seems scary at first, but is really not bad, especially since she tries to work with you if you get a bad grade on a test do the work.
