DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Mrs. Fritsch is the worst math teacher I have ever had in my life. She is easy to reach outside of class time but will give the vaguest answers to questions. She will give you hours of videos to watch and hours of homework to do. Worst class ever. SAY GOODBYE TO FUN! Do not put yourself through what I had to go through!

The class is set up to where if you do the work, you will pass the class with flying colors, so no test reviews. The only issue I have is that there is ALOT of work. Each week a module is due that has videos notes with knowledge checks, you have to turn in those AND complete practice problems. Professor is really nice and understanding.

She doesnt explain things twice. if you ask a question and you still dont get what youre doing and keep asking for help she will catch attitude and say its in the video. if you ask how is it this and not this she will hardly respond. her homework adds up to at least double the class time, probably more. just... dont take her.

at the beginning of the semester she created a groupme for her class so it would be easy to reach her and as the semester went by and the material became more difficult, the students asked more questions and the professor would respond less and less.

Gives homework assignments that are way too time consuming, doesnt allow calculators to be used on exams (even though some assignments require one) & is horrible with communication. When students ask a question, she just reiterates her initial response with attitude. The work can be very confusing and overall this course is a piece of work

Worst Math teacher I've ever had. Never helped when I needed. She relies on the Internet wayyyyy to much for homework.. And she wont let us use Calculators on the test when needed. DO NOT TAKE.

Horrible professor. I took Plane Trig with her and i regret it. First, her grading scale, it is 40% daily grade and 60% test grade. I had a 98% for the daily grade and a 63% for the test grade and ended up with a C+ in her class. She is a tough grader and gives so much homework. The only help she provides you with are these self-check quizzes.

Honestly this class was one of the worst I have encountered. I email her for help and she sends back cryptic emails that are not helpful. To anyone who needs to take Trigonometry, do not take her class. She says that she is generous with her time when I emailed her with a bunch of questions, because her answers were so cryptic.

Don't use this professor. When I asked for help, she only replied back with confusing answers. Reading the replies back was just like trying to figure out the difficult equations she has her students try and figure out. Even her videos prior to the assignment are mostly useless. She believes she is generous with her time, which is completely false.

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS PLEASE! This class made me break into tears and rethink my life. This teacher is not considerate and her explanations are very vague and one way. She requires A LOT of homework and the tests are just as bad. She will not allow calculators or reference sheets. For those who struggle in math this will be your hardest course yet.

Look I'm not someone who complains about another if it's my fault but this teach wasn't that great. I tried my very hardest and i've never gotten below a "B" in math but you see it went down the drain. Test are very heavy and there is no review her. She's very strict and when asked about a problem she said "refer to the notes"

Professor Fritsch is an amazing professor, she will go out of her way just to make sure you understand the topic. She has a great attitude towards teaching and if you pay attention and do your work you will have at least a B in the class.

This teacher is a teacher no one should have. She thinks she is doing you a favor by answering your questions. If you need help she says to go to the tutoring lounge or look at the notes we dont have. There are no reviews for the exam and you better hope you studied the right amount of work before the exam. No calculators or reference sheets.

She explains everything to detail which is what I loved about her class. Has weekly homework due but are pretty easy, and help you understand the topic more. No calculators allowed. She did have optional practice quizzes(5-10 questions) which were what she used to make her exam questions, but most people didn't bother with them.

Let's be honest it's a math class. She is a great professor, and her tests are terribly hard. Homework is online and will literally walk you through the problems. Formula sheet that is provided has everything you need to know. Study, study, study. 4 tests (including final). Drops 2 of your lowest hw grades, and replaces lowest test grade with exam.

This professor is a good math teacher! She explains everything thoroughly and makes sure you understand. There's homework due at the beginning of every week. There were 3 unit tests and a final exam. She tells you everything that will be on the tests. She doesn't take attendance, although one lecture is usually a continuation of another.

7+ homework assignments per week with 20+ questions each, and written work required for almost half of it. If you ask for help on a question, she will give you a cryptic answer pertaining to a completely different example. She also expects you to study every day of the week. If you value your free time, do not take this professor.

Im not a fan of math, and not very good at it, but I did good in this class. Its not hard, the homework is harder than the tests. You dont use a calculator, but you dont need one. The tests are pretty easy. She gives really good explanations and is always willing to help. There is quite a bit of homework due almost every Sunday.

Professor was terrible. She only teaches notes and doesn't even check that the students understand what she's saying. She grades written work harshly. As in if your equal signs are not lined up you get 10 points off. She is not understanding at all. If you aren't there it's a zero. No matter what reason you have. So much homework 100-150q per week.

DONT TAKE if you have questions she'll just respond with vague answers. Also she gives so much homework and she is VERY test heavy she gives practice exams every other week and they weigh just as much as a normal test she gives. Dont put yourself through the pain I had to endure.
