Stay on your toes! All Math 100 courses go fast. She is basically friendly, wants her students to do good. Sometimes goes too fast when explaining a concept. Welcomes questions though. Only provlem, she needs to better guage where her students are, and spend more time right before tests on review.

Excellent teacher! Teaches the concept thouroughly and welcomes questions. The tests are straight-forward and require you to understand how to do a problem. If you attend the lectures and do the HW regularly, it is an easy "A". Shar is very approachable and willing to help. Highly recommended! :)

Individualized course, so I didn't often interact with her as an instructor, but when I did, her manner was very condescending. When I told her I'd been misinformed about a deadline, she thought I was lying & made a derogatory note about me in the logbook. Finally "helped me out" & then acted like she'd done me a big favor and I owed her. Whatever.

Shar is awesome! This was my second attempt at completing math120 because my previous professor did not believe in calculators, math lab, or anything other than pencil and paper. Shar was completely the opposite. She was well organized and had little sayings that would make the process stick in your head.

"Mind blown!" Shar is definitely one of the best professors at ARC. She has a way of making a seemingly boring subject interesting and her ways of explaining the material really make it stick. You do still have to put the effort in, but you will learn a lot. Highly recommended.

Shar, is perfect for working adults. I used her for all of my MMLC experience except one semester out of five. She is totally understanding of working adults. As long as you to your work and communicate with her, you will be just fine. She is a wonderful Professor. If you don't pass her class, you didn't even try.

Great teacher! No textbook is required because she has great knowledge about the subject, unlike many teachers. MyStatLab is required for hw and quizzes. You actually have to try to learn the material! If you do problems over and over again, you'll get used to it! 3 tests, 1 final! Drops 3 hw & quizzes & lowest test if you do well on the final!

Shar is a great teacher, she's very available and willing to give you help when you need it. But you NEED to get your stuff done on time! I never had any problems with that but I've heard her give a firm talking to to the students who did. As long as you do that, she's great. Even helped me find my phone when I lost it one day!

She teaches extremely well. Her style is simple and efficient! No book because she's just that awesome. HW is on 'mystatlab' which is easy. Just do all your (super easy) assignments on time and study the worksheets before the tests and you'll get an A.

I loved her sarcasm and she uses class time wisely, doesn't take bs from anyone. Shar replaces your lowest test score with your final exam score which was easy btw. Take her!

She doesn't really care for you at all, I was sick for an exam and she told me oh well your final exam grade will replace it, when I was so sick she wouldn't just let me take it the next class. She assigns way to much unnessesary homework. If you walk in class a minute late she kicks you out. Wouldn't recommend

I took professor McCarroll for math 41-133, yes it's been a journey, but she is a very laid back professor, she explains due dates which are also on the syllabus, she is also really great at responding to emails. If you do your work, go to the math lab when needed, and ask professor McCarroll for help when needed, you will pass

Professor Shar is one of the best math professor. I took her for Algebra and when I found out she teaches Stat 300, I enrolled in her class ASAP. I have no regrets! I learned a lot. English is difficult as it is my second language. However, Shar explains everything very clear and on point. If you put effort, you will do good. Hard work pays off.

I'm pretty bad at math, but stats is not "math". If you learn how to use the stats spreadsheet the homework and tests are a piece of cake. The midterm and final questions come directly from the practice tests. Do not fall behind in class because there is a ton of homework, but if you follow all the prompts it's not difficult to understand.

Cant say enough good things about this lady. She is a great statistics teacher and relates the topics well. Great sense of humor and her tests are reasonable. do the Wiley plus HW and study her review materials and youll do fine. Exams are half multiple choice (from Online HW) and half written response. Dont be late, not even by 30 seconds!

I LOVE Shar! I was worried because I hadn't taken a math class in 2 years and was taking 20 units, but she made stats so easy and fun. She walks the class through problems every class in detail, allows a full page of notes for test, and although theres consistent homework it's always so helpful. I would recommend Shar 10/10. She's amazing.

Professor McCarroll is great. She helps you whenever you have questions by emailing back within around 24 hours. She gave helpful sources if you have different learning styles, such as watching videos to reading the textbook and vice versa.

She was a really nice and helpful teacher. She really encourages you to get tutoring. I gave a 3 for difficulty because the workload is heavy. It can be an easy A as long as you do the assignments and understand the material. For me, math comes easy, but if you struggle in math you'll definitely need a tutor or study group to get you through.

She's fast at responding when you have questions, she is an easy grader on discussions, and she does drop your lowest scores 2x per semester.
