This class is all lecture but Ms. McCarter does a very good job of teaching to the class. If the class is struggling then she pushes stuff back and makes sure all are understanding. And for those that already get it, your free to leave and go complete your mandatory math lab hours. Only have to show up for tests and turn in homework.
She is a great Math teacher. Very clear and concise and since she is young she still has a passion for teaching. I was not at all excited about Stats, but she made it seem so easy. I would not only recommend you take her, but I would recommend you take her now and not put it off, because she is a really good teacher and you have nothing to fear.
Fantastic! Enjoyable class even though I hate math. Easy, concise explanations of the material. She wants you to learn and get a good grade. Tests are straight foward and you get 1-2 review days before a test. Not a lot of homework. I wish she taught more classes though- id love to take her again!
This teacher was AMAZING. I am not a great math student but the instructor made my learning experience a great one. I passes with an A in the class and rarely put extra time into her class because her lectures were straight and to the point
Best math teacher ever. She teaches very clearly, always on point. I hated math until I had her as a teacher. I really recommend her, especially if your not the best at math, you'll pass for sure.
easiest math class i've ever taken, she is a very good teacher, and makes sure you understand everything. if you're failing, it's definitely your fault. she doesn't care if you come to class, just come for the tests and turn in your homework, tests were easy. i wish she taught more classes.
Excellent teacher..makes stats enjoyable.
Best math teacher I've ever had! Absolutely a professional. She distills everything into organized, concise lectures that allow you to take perfect notes. The class isn't easy, you have to work..but she gives you the tools to succeed. Highly recommended.
Her lectures are very organized and easy to understand. She knows how to articulate the subject matter unlike many other math professors. I highly recommend her! My only regret is that she does not teach Trig.
She is the greatest teacher ever and by far my favorite! She is very easy to understand always wants to help you, explains things very clearly! She doesn't care if you come to class and doesn't take roll. Only has 6 tests and hw is due the day of the test. You only use your text book to do hw. Take her class!! You're gonna love her!
Sarah is awesome!! she was so clear and easy to understand! very helpful and welcomes any questions..I wish I would have taken her for my previous math classes!! even though attendence isn't mandatory, definetly recommended if you want an A! I give her an A+++++
I loved this teacher! I took her over the summer and she was amazing. She made it easy to understand, explained everyting as many times as needed. I wish I could have taken math 75 with her. She allowed note cards for the tests, and did all she could to help everyone pass.
Probably one of the professor that helps and clarifies into simple words. Notes from lecture are useful so there shouldn't be a reason not to come. Exams are easy because it aren't complex and you can use notes. She's a nice lady that willing to help.
This teacher is amazing. She is very helpful and she explains everything very clearly, step by step. If you have questions she would be very happy to answer them. I DEFINATELY recommend this teacher! she is very educated and she lets you use notes on exams; drops the lowest test score.
Super nice, super clear, she goes over the material so that you understand.. I would take any math class with her just because she is such a great teacher! Shes really sweet and helpful!
Amazing teacher! SO helpful and sweet. Would assess the level of the class every day and adjust accordingly. She gives very detailed, straightforward examples of each topic which helps immensely, and she actually made the class interesting! Take her class, you will love it.
Ms. McCarter was fantastic. After consistently failing tests from my previous stats class, with her I finished the class with an A! She makes everything so clear and really easy to understand. Attendance isn't mandatory but extremely helpful. Homework is due due every exam date so you have plenty of time to finish it. A true gem at DVC!
Due to her teaching I freaking mastered algebra. Due to her im taking calc right now; if u pay attention in her class and take notes u will easily pass the class and have very solid knowledge of algebra after you take this class. I have not till date had a math teacher who was so coherent as her; I still don't understand why she isn't full time?
Best Math teacher I have ever had. Very well organized in thought and on the board. Little to no HW and allowed notes for the tests. Highly recommended.
Great teacher, super helpful with awesome clarity in teaching Math. Would be a shame not to take her if you were or aren't good in Math.
She is a great teacher. I have struggled with math my whole life, but she was able to make it a clear and easy process. She does not assign a lot of homework, and she lets you know what she expects from the beginning. She is a great teacher and I will look to take her math classes again in the future.
She's an astounding teacher! She's very patient and will make sure every student understands the material before moving on. Teaches you in a easy-to-follow system that I love! 5 quizzes, 1 final and 5 homework packets, which are due on the quiz date, but they are super simple to do. Flash cards (sometimes) allowed on quizzes. I HIGHLY recommend her
Prof McCarter is awesome. She thoroughly explains everything and makes sure everyone understands. Homework is not due until the next exam and the tests are made up of problems on the homework. For the first time I feel confident in math. If you struggle with math, she is the professor for you.
You must choose her...
Sarah McCarter is a great teacher! I've never been good at math but she makes everything seem so easy. Extremely helpful and sweet. Explains everything very clearly. There are 5 exams, 5 homework assignments, and then the final.
Professor McCarter is the most amazing teacher I've taken at dvc. This is my second math class with her, she teaches math so you can understand. Homework is not too hard and exams are easy as long as you show up for class and follow her lecture! Amazing teacher, love her!
Prof. McCarter is really amazing! She makes math really easy. I enjoyed her class and attend every lecture. She teaches very well and help her student excel. I just hope she can teach higher math cause I'll definitely take her class again.
she makes the lectures more easy for us.
I wish I had her as a professor my whole life. Made me understand things in a day that I couldn't understand after years of instruction. She's the best, plain and simple. Very nice as well, totally felt confident coming to her for advice.
I wanna take this time and rate this professor because she has been one of the greatest professors I've ever had in DVC. Let me tell you in my past experience in math i found it my worst subject. Until I had this professor, she made math so much easier for me and is really patient with the students. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE BAD AT MATH!!!
Take Professor McCarter if you struggle with math! she goes over everything step by step and is willing to help!!! I've taken her for two semesters and she has been super helpful! Attendance is not mandatory but if you miss a lecture then odds are you are going to miss a lot! As long as you pay attention in class and take notes you will be fine!
One of the best math teachers I have ever had. She thoroughly goes through problems and makes sure that everyone gets it before moving on. No surprises on the exams since it's exactly as the homework. The way she broke down the problems really made people understand it. I will definitely be taking her again. Show up to class and take notes.
She's the best math teacher I ever had, and it makes me sad she doesn't teach 120. Hands down, the most sweet and helpful teacher ever. Take her class! Especially if you're like me and you really struggle with algebra.
I consider myself and whoever took her class lucky. She is the only one who made me feel I can learn math. Math is not difficult if you have teacher like her. She teaches you almost to the perfection. She deserves to be awarded from DVC. I wish they give her math 120.
Great teacher. I have taken her for math 75 and now 90E. I did great in both classes thanks to her! She's an amazing teacher that really wants her students to learn. Her classes are solely lectures, so take good notes on everything that is on the board. I wish she were teaching math 120 next semester.
If I had this progessor eaching me math my whole life, i'd have solved time travel. She is very thorough, kind, and fair.
She is the best teacher i've ever had for math ! She explains everything so well and makes sure everyone understands before moving on. Her tests are straight from the homework. Its hard not to get a A or B in her class she really wants you to pass and succeed. Going to her class isn't mandatory but you can miss a lot if you do skip a class.
Took her class at summer 2017. 2 tests, 1 final, and teaches good. All professors should teach their students like her.
Prof McCarter is the first teacher that has gotten me to understand & enjoy math! I started with her in Math75, but I've also taken Math90 & intend on taking all future courses with her. She lays it out simply. HW is clear & tests are based off HW. Pay attention, do your HW, have a good 4x6 card for exams & you're bound to get an A.
TAKE HER!!! Her lectures are so clear. I wish every professor taught her the easy tricks and tips. One of the best teachers at DVC. Take her for math you won't regret it! I wish I had her for Math 90. I was so scared of taking math because I didn't pass algebra in high school, now I love it! Very light homework that's due day of exams.
i never pass in math before!!! with her, math for me was a puzzle with the colors she use in the board. i am chocked that i can understand math thanks to her. one quiz i forgot my calculate, guess what i got a C!! because of the colors she used make like a game for me. plus its open Note !!! what do you need more? i really recommend her !!!!! P/NP
she is an awesome professor, Before i too any math classes, I hated math, but once i saw her method i fall in love with math subjects, Every thing is in class . no online homework or not anything online, everything is online. I took math 75, Math 90E, and Math 120 I wish she teach further more that i can take with her. Thank you such a good profes
Ms. McCarter knows how to teach math. She's rare. If you are struggling in math, she is the teacher who can help you understand it. She walks you through every step of a problem and makes sure you understand how to do it. She goes over difficult test/hw problems in class and reviews after each lesson. One of best teachers at DVC. HIGHLY recommend
She is the best math teacher I have ever had. Attend all classes and you will be fine. She is incredible at explaining and giving feedbacks, very organized. She is very positive and no time is wasted in her class totally recommend her.
She is good math professor
Prof. McCarter gave amazingly clear lectures. Everything that she wrote on the board was easy to read and color coded. She made sure that everyone would understand and really cared about her students. Even though attendance is not mandatory, I highly recommend coming or youll struggle. Take a lot of notes and the class will be great!!
Took 75, 90, and 120 with McCarter. Amazing prof. Class is all lecture, except for at the end where she'll assign a problem and you complete it before leaving class. Grade is test heavy, but she completely reviews all material beforehand. I was horrible at math, but actually ended up enjoying all three semesters of the class. Trust me, take her.
Professor McCarter is an easy-going professor. She keeps her class very structured and easy to follow. As long as you show up for every exam day, you should pass easily. Class is not mandatory, but she has clear and well-written lectures that can be very useful.
The whole since of my life i hate math when i took math 119 with her. Then I undrestand what math is it. She is perfectly amazing i will recommend her to all students. She has amazing lectures during class. Love her style teaching. Thank you professor Sara
I dont wanna say too much; Try her She has amazing lectures during class. She is very awesome �� Thanks for everything
I took math 75 and 120 with her the best teacher ever in the entire DVC. I was a person that never liked math but the way she was teaching would make you fell in love with Math. I really miss her and Now I took pre-calc with Lynn knight which is the worst and rude teacher ever I wish she start teaching calculus. She is a real gem and amazing woman.
If you struggle with math, Sarah is the perfect professor for you! She understands math anxiety and genuinely cares that you understand the learning material. Her lectures are informative & to the point, tests are open note, homework assignments have 3 attempts. She is honestly the best math teacher I have ever had.
I put off taking stats because I suck at Math and I've had horrible luck with math teachers. BUT Professor McCarter is amazing she makes math easy and I defiantly felt like I learned a lot. Not only that but her class is stress free and she is always there if you need help. If you aren't good at math take her class!!
I'm almost done with spring semester and I know i'll pass with an A in the class. Seriously the easiest math class I've ever taken at dvc. The exams are exactly the same from the examples in the notes so you can just refer back to your notes on the exams. Open note and open book exam. Easy A. I have a 98% in the class with no effort. Take the class
Lectures are clear, concise, and everything you need to succeed on the exam. Text is good for extra practice if needed. Prof is caring and patient.
She is such a caring teacher! I put off stats until the end of my college career out of fear, duh. lol but she was the BEST teacher I've had at DVC. I really recommend her if you haven't done math in a while and are hesitating!
Professor McCarter is one of the best math teachers I have had. 100% would take her again. Lectures were all on youtube and were super easy to follow. If you take good notes you will pass the class. She lets you use notes on the test and most of the math is on the calculator. TI-83/84 calculator is required for the course. Super nice.
Best math teacher Ive ever had. She is very helpful and provides easy to understand lectures, highly recommend if math isnt your strong suit. She is 100% worth taking an 8 am class for. Tests are based on what you learn and its with a notecard. Actually cares for the students as well, I would take her class again. More teachers should be like her.
Great math teacher. Made everything so easy to understand and was very patient with those who needed more help. Would definitely recommend you take her class.
Professor McCarter is a great teacher; she is very nice and caring. She takes the time to break down the processes for solving algebraic equations (W for concept-based learners). I highly recommend attending her office hours every now and then if you don't understand anything
Like the other comments, do not hesitate to take her!! So lenient when she sees the class struggling and goes step by step to make sure you fully understand, and hw so easy, and she posts the notes from lecture so no need to show up half the time. Definitely worth 8am class, I was always 20 minutes late, yet understood everything. No EC but no need
Professor McCarter was the best math teacher I have ever had and she helped me understand College Algebra really well. Her lectures were straightforward and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend her as a professor and if I could have the opportunity to have her as my teacher again I most definitely would !
All her lectures are very easy to understand, homework is not difficult, and the tests are the homework problems with different numbers. You get open notes on the tests. Very easy class
Take this prof if you struggle with math! She is wonderful, explains things so clearly, and makes it very attainable to get an A. 5 midterm exams, 5 homeworks, an easy project, and a final. she drops the lowest exam score, so you have that to fall back on. She also posts the lectures to canvas if you miss class and is very helpful. 10/10 recommend
Best math teacher I ever had! Made the material easy to understand and attendance is mandatory for test days. All her lectures are posted online. She does use a textbook but I went to the library and rented the book and then scanned the pages needed. 2 problems minimum per section for homework, extra work is for practice and is optional.
If math is your weakest subject, take this professor. She made everything easy. Her lectures are clear and easy to follow. She allows notes (4x6) cards on exams and a 8x11 for final exam. Extremely kind and helpful. I did the homework, attended office hours, and I got an A. Borrow a TI-84 and rent the textbook from the library to save $$$
Professor McCarter is hands down the best math professor. She takes her time with the lesson and gives step by step example, and more if it doesn't make sense. She is incredibly nice and her exams are like her practice exams, just different numbers ( same with her final). And she also drops the lowest exam score. Definitely recommend taking her!
6 exams including final, 5 hw assignments, drops lowest test, her lectures are online and short, you get notes for the exam, hw is online but it's free. I struggle with math but she makes it understandable and she always offers extra help and worksheets for practice. Take her if you struggle with math.
1 homework and 1 test per unit, 1 project, 1 final exam. Lowest test score is dropped. Homework is the easiest as long as you are completing it. All in all, perfect professor.
Elem stats was so easy to understand with her, would take all over again because I love how she explains
Very good professor. Her class was really easy and straightforward. If you take notes during lecture, attend test reviews (write all of those examples on the notecards you get for the tests), and complete the homework, you are guaranteed an A or at LEAST a B. If you have to/want to take statistics, you should definitely take her.
hands down best prof i have ever had. i failed all of my math classes in high school and ended up getting a 100 on her final and a 97 in the class. she explains things so well and makes difficult topics easy to understand. the note cards help so much on the tests. there are no trick questions and she gives you all the info you need to know for test
IF YOU ARE BAD AT MATH TAKE THIS CLASS. and when i say bad at math i literally mean you failed all of your math courses in the past and cannot do any math problem to save your life. she is so caring and wants the best for you and your grade. she does not set you up for failure and actually provides all the info you need for tests. TAKE HER.
This class was soooo easy, homework was given but you only have to complete barely 10 problems and they're due on test days. The tests were EXACTLY I MEAN EXACTLY the same as the homework and in class practice problems. I showed up only on test review days and spent barely an hour a week for this class. Take this class is you want a EAST A.
The score of one test with the lowest score out of the five tests is dropped. If the average of the 4 exams before taking the final exam is high, the average exam score is scored by *0.75 even if the final exam is not taken. The test is not too difficult as it is almost the same as the example you solved in class.
Profesor McCarter is actually the best math teacher ever. Her lectures explain everything you need to know on the test. You get a full binder sheet of notes on exams front and back. She is so nice and caring. I was scared to take this course because I am still a highschooler, but this class is legit easier than Algebra 1 in highschool.
Shes amazing. Best math teacher at dvc so far take her class you wont't regret it.
Life changing experience.
Great Professor, took her class for summer and even with the packed schedule and increased speed of the course she still made it very accessible and smooth. Attendance after the first day was not required but recommended. Very thorough and easy to understand lectures.
Taken Spring 2023. Graded Work: Divided into 5 midterm exams, 5 homework assignments, 1 final exam, and 1 final project. Textbook: Not really necessary as she provides handouts with the problems needed for the homework. Overall a really great teacher. She took the time to make sure every student understood what was being taught.
Took her in summer, GREAT at explaining how to do everything in detail. Allows 1-2 double sided pages of notes on exams, barely any homework (only 1-2 questions per textbook section and they're the same as the exams), if you need help you can ask her after class. Attendance not mandatory, you can skip if you copy notes or already know the material.
I really enjoyed this professor!!! Her lectures were very thorough and for the class I took she provided support. The two first tests were very easy while the third was a bit tougher and the last was definitely more difficult. The only thing I wish is that we used the unit circle instead of only calculators.
I had a very good experience with Professor McCarter. The tests were overall very good, though the final results were lower than I had expected. I ended up getting a 96.1% and learning a lot, she goes over many homework questions during class. Definitely recommend, though I wish we used the unit circle rather than only calculators.
She broke down all the chapters easily so it's impossible to fail her class! The first exam was easy! But the 2nd & 3rd exam was harder because it has probability. The last few exams were easier because it has hypothesis testing, super easy to pass!
Amazing she made class fun and enjoyable and best thing is lowest test score gets dropped she made the class so simple
Professor McCarter is a very good lecturer that doesn't cut any corners. Explains everything in depth. Her online videos for every chapter were great and enabled me to not go to class (lol). This class is very easy, Just know how to use your Ti-84. I found this class to be outdated as you should really be learning how to use excel to do this.
Only 5 exams and 5 homework assignments, so as long as you keep up with the textbook or attend the lectures, it'll be a breeze. She likes to make jokes during lectures, but she is very clear and understanding of the material. Prof. McCarter is also very helpful if you have any questions. Make sure to have a TI 84 for exams.
Very good lecturer, i am horrible at math and am writing this review 4/5th through the semester with a 92% just make sure to lock in and to do well on the first two tests because they are free points that you might need, she has 5 tests and 5 homework assignments, throwing out the lowest test score of all midterms. best prof ive had yet.
She was a great teacher. Her lectures were easy to follow, and her notes were helpful and easy to understand. She posts her lessons online, but It is better to go to the lectures. She gives a break in between lectures and is very nice. You can use notecards in the exams, and in the final you get a whole page (front and back).
TAKE HER CLASS!! Attendance not mandatory except first day. All lectures online and the textbook (online) is helpful to use too. There's five tests and a homework assignment is due on the day of the test. Suchhhh a clear class to follow and she is willing to help. I highly recommended this professor!!!
Take her don't hesitate hands down the best professor I've had so far. Took her for summer math class she's absolutely amazing doesn't confuse you or trick you on exams teaches straight to the point. The best math professor you can have she's an amazing person kind and caring! If you can get into her class you're gonna do great and I suck at math.
I struggled with college math classes and usually feel the work is unnecessary in depth or homework heavy for a single class which results with me doing more work for math than all my other classes combined. This class is NOT that. Her teaching is simple and thorough. HW is simple if you attend class. I felt confident about each test! Perfect!
TAKE HER! I dropped another math class with a (W) because I felt like the professor was more concerned about tricking us on exams rather than teaching us the curriculum. Prof. McCarter on the other hand has ONE goal and that is to make sure you understand so that you can feel confident going into exams I suck at math and got and A. Lock in! 10/10
theGOATTTT! Never went to a single lecture but still passed (wouldn't recommend if you aren't good at self-direction and whatnot). This review is kind of brainrot but I can assure you, this Prof is NOT! Genuinely so caring and competent, even checked up on me and urged me to come to lecture (I didn't listen but I def would've gotten an A if i did!)
(STATS C1000) TAKE HER!!! Seriously one of the best profs I've had. Her lecture are so clear and understandable, I'm not great at math but I never left her class confused. Super sweet and wants to see you succeed! 5 exams + the final. Drops lowest exam, HW due day of exam, easy final project and you can skip final if you're happy with your grade.
