Mrs. Curl is such an awesome math teacher!! She really enhanced my learning and affinity for math because her teaching skills and suggestions were very effective.

She is a wounderful teacher. I believe if there is a real math teacher in MJC it would be her.

By far the best Math teacher I've ever had, and I've had almost every math teacher at JC. If you get through her class, 172 will be much easier. Demands a lot from you, but an amazing teacher.

Had to turn in homeowrk a lot and tons of quiz'. But it made it easy to know where you were in the class. She was really nice and funny, she joked about her age a lot and her glasses.

I read the command on this page, and I kind of wondered why there are some people who don’t really like to learn and expect the teacher to do all the work. Sorry you guys, it is college and you have to work hard. Mrs. Curl is a very hard working and nice teacher. I had her for math 121 and math 171, and I couldn’t look for a better teacher. Her lec

Mrs. Curl is really good teacher. If you do your homework and listen in class you will get an A. She is not a very easy teacher, but the things that she teaches and the way that she teaches them will help you a lot in your further classes especially math 173 and 174 with alcantra.

Same old story. Hard teachers get low ratings. Same old question. To learn or pass? If you really want to learn, take Mrs. Curl If you really want to pass with no effort take someone else (who? I dunno joe)

Ms. Curl is very kind. She goes through math processes quickly, but only because she has to cover a lot of info in a short amount of time. She's a fair grader, giving points even when you do only part of the problem correctly.

What a great teacher. You can tell she puts in so much time for her lectures. And she explains them slow enough for me to understand and is always open to questions. You can also tell she truly cares about the students and helping them learn.

She is very nice but at times can be mean. She grades the labs way to hard. the Exam and quiz are not easy but if you hard study one can get a good grade. Overall, she teaches the material more easier than other math 134 teacher.

Ok...you'll regret taking a class with her, but shes really good at the stuf she teaches and in the way che presents stuff. Its not her fault the material is a hard thign to teach, but she does her best. If you do your best, youll pass. If you slack off like me, you may or may not pass. I liked her class, but dont know if Ill pass or not..

she is an owesome teacher. only students who have no math brain don't love her. I am a university student but still I haven't seen a teacher like her. If you want to learn math just take with her otherwise you waist your time. I am not her lapdog or her husband. I am only a student who has learned alot from her.

I tried really hard in this class...I was also taking Chemistry...I am not a very good "math" person, but she is hard to not understand, sometimes she goes fast, but if you stop and ask questions, you can slow her down, and she wants you too if you don't understand something...also if you talk to her during her office hours she is more than willing

Great Teacher, love her!

she makes things funny. shes really helpful. gives plenty of time for review and questions. drops lowest scores for every thing such an homework, quizes and exams.

She is very clear, encourages questions and makes plenty of class time for review. The only thing I didn’t like about her was the way she graded. She marks you off for the most ridiculous and meaningless things. If you go and talk to her in her office she sometimes gives you points back if she realizes how crazy she was for marking you off.

She is by far the best math teacher i've ever had. she explains everything and will answer ?'s without hesitating. She is really nice ans super patient. There were a few slower ppl in the class, I was surprised at how patient she was with them. I recommend her and def. hope to keep taking her math classes. Do ur H.W and stay organized...Easy!!!;)

I hate Math, but Mrs. Curl really made this class bearable for me. She is a very nice lady, and very helpful if you come to her outside of class. The only people who seem to have problems in her class are the immature right-out-of-high-school babies. Anyone who understands the difference between college and high-school math should be fine.

Good teacher. I found her really easy to understand. She answeres questions well and goes over everything. A lot of quizzes, but they prepare you for the tests. If you miss class a lot your going to miss quizzes and wont do as well in the class.

The class is hard, but that's just the material, Sarah's a great teacher, very patient, very helpful. I've taken her for 3 different math classes. I've found that the students who don't like her are the ones who come to college with a chip on thier shoulder. It's fun to watch how she elloquently puts them in their place!

i couldn't stand this teacher at the beginning of the semester because of how picky she is about EVERYTHING. by the end of the semester, my math skills for 90 was perfected because of how picky she is about everything. i'm kinda glad she was picky. excellent teacher if you want to learn math!

I thought she was very good at explaining things and she had a tutor avaliable for just her students. I thought that was the best thing.

i found her extremly helpful. she was good at explaing things in more then one way. She also offered a tutor the was just for her class.

Entertaining but scatter-brained. Explains simple concepts at length, then runs out of time to explain the important stuff. Homework assignments not explained thoroughly. Very helpful and explanatory when asked.

She was GREAT! i hate math...but she made everything so clear and simple. i never knew i could be good at math until i took HER class. Perfect teacher!

She tries to make sure you know the material more than any other maths professor I've had. Her tests are difficult because of this, yet are still reasonably difficult. She does what she can to help students bolster their grades without going as far as to compromise the integrity of the course. The only bad part of the course was the online homework

She is a very nice person but she moves SO fast. It was hard for me to keep up and I ended up having to retake the class. I do not recommend someone taking this class if you are an older student that has been out of school for awhile.

If you are planning to go to university she is one who prepares you for it. I took all her classes and now I am really comfortable with math. You will learn a lot from her. Just try hard and you will be fine.

She is a very nice lady. extreemly helpfull during office hours. Her style of teaching is rough. Her test are extreemly hard.

Prof. Curl is an outstanding teacher. Organized lectures, very reasonable about asking questions from previous math courses. Her tests are tricky, but she teaches to the level of her testing(unlike Alcantra), so all is fair.

Great teacher.Her test are hard and she may be picky when grading, but she does her best to help everyone succeed.If you are willing to learn, study, and put effort in her class you will pass.Not doing the hw will not allow you to pass because you aren't trying the problems.She gives weekly quizes that help one prepare for the tests.

I took her online math class as a refresher course and met with her a couple of times and emailed a few times. She was very helpful and I found her to be a very nice teacher. I wouldn't mind taking other courses from her.

Mrs. Curl is an awesome teacher, she teaches super good and organized. She does grade a little picky but she teaches so good it's not hard to get the hang of what shes looking for. She holds study reviews and its really to the point.

Curl lectures at a deceptively slow pace but manages to cover a vast amount of material. This seems good, however too often I found myself referencing unclear and convoluted ex's from the book to help w/ hw. Be on ur toes! Her grading is strict, freq inaccurate, and based on quizzes/exams only. She gives small curves and will prepare u for math 172

Very organized. She's great at explaining each step clearly. She also teaches a lot of little tips and tricks to help you solve the problems easier. Her tests are fairly hard, but they are consistent to what she teaches.

Class was very good.

Honestly, I was expecting someone terrible from all the reviews, but I have to say, I really enjoyed the class. Prof. Curl is not the most helpful at times & can be rude, but as long as you attend the classes, do the homework & complete the labs, you'll do fine. She seems to really appreciate students that take the time to put forth strong effort.

She is a very good teacher i would take her class again,the semester of fall of 2012 the whole class was rude because she was slow and gave lots of examples which i thought it was nice to see the material as review.she shows the material with mutli way to do it and slow is better then a fast instructor.struggling or not students should take her.

Mrs.Curl is really a great professor. I struggled a little bit in this class but she always asks if you had problems with anything.She is very helpful.I did not understand how she graded, but she give partial credit for trying.She is a good professor who knows what she teaches.

She Does her Best.....I mean she is a fair teacher, and a bit over technical, but it is math, so I guess it has to be that way. She is always available, but a real stickler for her steps.

She is not easy at all. Her expectations are very high but she gives very thorough explanations and examples. A wonderful instructor if you are willing to put in the time and effort. Stay on top of your homework and study. It'll be your own fault if you don't pass. True talk.

Professor Curl is a fantastic teacher! Her lectures are well organized, she grades quizzes and exams promptly, and she won’t sucker punch you with difficult problems on tests. She is exceedingly patient with students who don’t grasp the material, but she may recommend that they visit her office for help instead of stopping the lecture for them.

mrs. curl is one of the best teachers ive ever had she is really nice and understanding as long as your respectful and dont talk in class she covers sections very thouroghly and is always there to answer any questions plus she has give back points for things you miss on quizes and exams i highkly recommend her

she is a nice lady and explains well. she will take off points for little mistakes but you have to let her know or something at the end idk..she's fairly easy i'd take her again though

Great teacher. Do your part and you will excel in her class.

She's an amazing teacher! All she requires is that you do your part and you are guaranteed to pass!

She's an amazing calculus teacher!! As someone who hates math i was terrified of her class! But she teaches so well that even I could understand! Choosing her to be my math teacher was the best choice I ever made. She's so helpful and she teaches so clearly.

Sarah Curl is the best!! She sort of takes the training wheels off so buckle down and get ready to become an adept mathematician.

So here is the thing, she is a good teacher, she explains stuff good, will help you in office hours if you need it, she will go over past homework assignments, and gives about a week for each homework assignment which is usually 15 problems. Her exams are honestly not that hard, they are based off of the homework, but she is so strict on grading.

Taken fall 2016. It was not easy If you use the tools she gives you it will all work out. I'm averaging a B right now. I am normally an A student. This is Pre-algebra its not an easy class regardless of teacher. This was hard for me dealing with cancer during class but she was always motivating and I never dropped . Wish she was teaching math 70..

She's a really sweet lady, but sometimes she isn't really clear on what she wants. She has multiple labs, quizzes, and 3 exams, plus the final. Labs are very straightforward. Quizzes are in groups. The exams is where everything matters. I messed up on one exam and it dropped my grade by 6%. However, it's easy to get points back. Her C is a 65%.

I took her class over the summer. The class was tough! She made the class enjoyable and I thought her lectures made the material easy to understand. I would highly recommend but be prepared to do some work!

only downside is that she wants her format on a test, but she is so sweet
