Great lady, always stayed after class to help me with problems I didnt understand. Tests were fairly hard, and she was very VERY picky about formats of answers, showing your work, etc. I always had major points deducted even though I might have had the wrong answer. Not the best or worst teacher.

She is by far the best math professor I have taken at UL. The course is tough, but she cares about your grade and is there to help when you have questions or concerns. Every class period she'd come stand by me and ask if I understood the material and to let her know if I needed help. Very caring teacher.

Ok, where do I start? She helps up to a certain extent! She gets aggravated really fast, stops teaching and just stare at you. She moves really fast, too fast and it's hard to keep up. The class I took had a tutor sit in it and he would reteach it to the students who didn't understand what she was doing. The best way to get a good grade is by hw!

Mrs. Underwood was very willing to help students that needed additional help outside of class. She is very serious about her students doing homework that is assigned in the textbook and on Alek.

She understands the material she just cannot teach it. She has a hard time elaborating. I would not have received an A in this class if I had not already taken a harder version of the calculus she taught. I was in the honors class; 251, and she didnt give us much extra work. I do know most of the class failed. Does replace lowest grade w final.

She says that you can get partial credit on exams but does not give them. A student asked her a question about homework via email and she sent a smart remark and then discussed it in front of the class. She does not fully discuss math problems. Students actually learned better from ALEK. I would not recommend unless u want to teach yourself.

Professor Underwood is the worst professor I have ever taken in my whole life. She can not teacher or elaborate. She makes you feel stupid if you ask questions. She has the worst attitude. Just overall a terrible teacher and I would recommend you drop this class.

Very helpful in class. Explained the problems well and worked many examples to make the information as clear as possible. Gave many chances for extra credit. Replaced worst test grade after final.

Mrs. Underwood would get mad whenever people asked questions. One time she even told a student that she was "interrupting" class whenever she asked a questions about the material. Don't take her if you don't have to.

She makes many small errors while teaching that cause a lot of confusion. She understands what she is doing but when she teaches she makes so many errors that most of the students get confused even if they know how to do the problem. If you understand the material check your answer with hers but DONT LISTEN TO HER TEACH it will only confuse you.

Here's the thing. I am not good at Math what so ever. This is my second time having to take Math 105. In all honesty I do believe she is a good teacher. (For other students) Although, I do have to say she messes up A LOT with teaching which causes confusion for everyone. So if you do decided to take her be aware of that.

As long as you go to class and pay attention during the lectures you should be fine. Test questions come from the problem sets, so make sure to do your homework. She is very nice and is very helpful.

If you pay attention in class you will be fine. Some things you have to figure out on your own. She gives out wiley plus problems which helps your grades out. Gives extra credit points on test if you bring your test booklet on test days.

Ms. Underwood is a great professor. The class its self was difficult but it helps if you go to her outside class. And she also has every lesson on her moodle if you miss a day or just want to be ahead. ALWAYS do Wileyplus and your sample test booklet!!

I really loved having Ms. Underwood as teacher! I wish I could have her for every math class. She makes the material easy to understand and is good about answering questions. Just make sure you stay on top of the WileyPlus and the homework or you definitely won't pass.

Mrs. Underwood is a really nice lady and an overall pretty good professor. She makes sure to explain things and answers questions, and she always reviews before tests. She gives extra credit if you are doing sample test books which are part of your test grade. Tests take answers from test booklet. Do Wiley HW. Makes small errors, but a good Prof.
