I was completely lost throughout this entire class. She moves too quickly through information without assuring everyone is on the same page. We'll have a lecture then she'll assign homework and the homework isn't the material we covered during the lecture. This course was a huge disappointment and waste of money. Not recommended.

This is by far the worst teacher. She is completely rude to her students. She doesn't explain anything and she thinks everyone gets it but they don't. She is the kind of teacher who will move on without you understanding the concept. If you ask a question, don't expect an answer because she will just look at you like you're stupid. Don't Take Her!

She does not give notes, she gives handouts with problems that you work out together as a group. She changes your seats after every test. She does not give formulas or steps for figuring out a problem and if you ask about them she will simply ask "What do you think?", you basically just have to pay attention in your groups and learn what works.

Professor Bishop is amazing. She is always willing to work through a lesson area until you are clear. Her personal math videos, other videos shared, weekly outlines, and PowerPoint presentations provide the tools to learn. She will provide additional practice problems if you ask. She is a tough grader, but fair and helpful. Shes very caring

Professor Bishop is funny and is easy to get along with, and she helped me figure out a plan to pass her class with a decent grade. She gives powerpoints of her lessons, videos, and even WebX meetings, she makes sure that everyone has the format they need to pass her class.

Dr. Bishop is my favorite professor at this school, and I hate math. Her "lectures" are very interactive, funny, and engaging. She gives good grades for even just trying. She remembers names and cares about her students. She's amazing. If you have the chance to take her, do it.

Bishop explains subjects thoroughly and is willing to spend time on different areas that students are unsure of. She is one of the best professors I have ever had and she always makes the class time enjoyable.

Professor Bishop is awesome. I'm terrible at math & she explains it in a way that's easy to understand. She grades very fairly & doesn't dock you a whole question for messing up one little thing. I was worried about taking an online algebra class, but the 'A' I received says it all. I wish she taught pre-calc/calculus.

I highly recommend Professor Bishop. Her teaching is very clear and interactive, and she cares about each student and makes sure they understand the concepts being taught. Even if you miss a day, online modules are easy to follow. Looking forward to taking MAT151 with Professor Bishop next semester!

Bishop took me from my typical C student in math to now an A student with how amazing she is at teaching! I cannot accurately explain how much passion she has for teaching math. Every day were at the whiteboards working through problems of which she creates to engage in classroom learning. If you apply yourself she will guide you to success!

I took the hybrid option. Classwork consisted of handout, group whiteboard work, & a short lecture. Online homework is a short powerpoint lesson. She provides optional quizzes for studying. Every week a homework submission and a MyMathLab is assigned. Homework load is low. She's incredibly laid back and understanding. Class was chill and enjoyable.

Professor Bishop is awesome! I have always struggled with Math, but this is the first time I have understood what was happening. She gives great feedback on tests, hw, and quizzes. I enjoyed the interaction in her class with my peers. I would 100% take her if I were you!

Dr. Bishop was a phenomenal teacher. I have always struggled with math, and I was very concerned to take this class. She made everything super easy to understand and she guided everyone through the class effortlessly. She had videos explaining every lesson along with PowerPoints. The videos help a TON if you are visual learner like myself.

I took Dr Bishop for MAT187 Precalculus because I had heard good things about her from my friends. They were totally right, she's awesome! She has you work in groups up at the board a lot which helps pass the time and make class fun. She cares a lot about her students and is understanding. Do the CYU's - the help prepare you for exams!

Doctor Bishop did not work with me at all during this course. Many people I know told me she is a really harsh grader and if she offers extra credit it does nothing to your grade. She makes you stand at the board for hours and expects you to know everything. I would not recommend taking her.

The professor is very kind to provide extra help outside of class. In every lecture in class, the students would mostly write up on the boards and acknowledge other students' work to compare and contrast their work to see any mistakes or improvements. There are lots of activities in the class where it encourages the students to engage and interact.

This is a hard class because it is precalc, but Bishop does everything she can to make sure that you know what is on and works with you if you don't understand something. She gives amazing feedback and is so helpful. She is the best teacher at Chandler-Gilbert, and I will miss her. TAKE HER CLASS! This was my 2nd time with her, and I loved it.

This class heavily relies on your ability to learn by actively engaging at the whiteboard. If you struggle with a learning style that involves minimal examples and requires figuring things out independently at the board, this course may not fit you best. Heavy test grader, little extra credit. Rely on tutoring, and expect lots of independent work.

She was so helpful, she would always answer my emails clearly and promptly, I'm usually pretty shy but I felt pretty comfortable because she wouldn't call you out if you don't know an answer even though it's a lot of group work and standing at the boards.

YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEARN MOSTLY OUTSIDE OF CLASS. Dr. Bishop gives you everything you need/time to do it. It is a hard class. If you really learn how to do the CYUs/homework you will pass the tests. Put the work in. Dr. Bishop is very understanding and will do her best to help you learn. Hw/quizzes are not hard but also not worth much points.

Dr Bishop's class was my favorite and that says a lot since I don't love math. You work on problems at the boards and work together and figure stuff out. She always goes over things so you have the correct process by the time you leave. There isn't much required homework but there are LOTS of optional practice activities. DO THOSE! They help a TON

Dr. Bishop is an AMAZING math teacher with a very clear passion and love for math and teaching. This course does require you to have some math knowledge prior to enrollment, however you do not need to be a math wizard to do well in the course. If you show up, practice, do your homework, ask questions when needed, and simply TRY to pass.. YOU WILL.
