Sharon is fun, but the class can be difficult. She grades fairly though, so pay attention and you will do well. I would recommend her over the other math teachers I have had in the past. she is very helpful, and really knows her stuff.

Willing to help if you ask her...knows math inside and out...really passionate about it..overall good teacher

I like Sharon. She has a very approachable personality, and is always willing to help students out. Calculus is hard no matter where you take it from. However, she makes it possible and almost pleasant to learn. She grades fairly and offers some leniencies

Sharon is very good math teacher very helpful, energetic, and enthusiastic. Her classes are not easy, however; if you are working hard you will get very good grade ...

Saxton is almost annoyingly excited about math! She is and extremely helpful instructor ...

great teacher...good at explaining, verry helpfull

She is very excited about the topic and happy to help in any way possible.

Sharon is probably the best math teacher, probably best teacher all together, that I have had in college, and I have taken quite a few college classes.....she grades fairly, is very helpful and makes learning math fun... and how often does that happen?

One of the best math teachers I have ever had. Math is not always a fun subject, but she makes the class very enjoyable.

Sharon is a very fun teacher. The class was actually interesting for math. She is able to answer all questions and knows a lot about math. The class starts late a lot because of chatting, but it doesn't really effect anything.

11 quizs,2 projects,3 exams,every section has homework, at least 12 questions and a final exam! Be honestly, I hate this class. I took four classes this quarter, One online, two hybrid, I thought this math may not have too much works, but I was wrong.The quiz, homework is easy to me, but I hate so much of them

Teacher is tough but will help you if you need it. She has lots of energy and you can tell she enjoys her job.

I am currently in one of Sharon's classes (Math for Elem. Ed) and I think she is great! She is kind and helpful and seems like she really wants her students to do well. If you study, do your homework and show up to class (many students seem to be skipping a lot of our classes) you will get a good grade. I will take another of her classes soon!

Awesome teacher! One of the best math teachers I have ever had. Great explanations. Drops lowest test and quiz grade. Wanna make sure to show up to class though or you might fall behind...tough subject, moves fast, but she knows what she's talking about for sure.

Good professor. She gives test based on what she taught us. Helpful, we can ask question in class or by email or wamap. It's just that she talks a bit fast and her voice not really clear for me(I'm an international student).

I enjoyed the class, quizes that she handed out weren't too terribly difficult neither were the exams she's actually a good teacher, may come off strict and difficult at first but she's honestly really excited to teach and she does a good job

She was a great teacher, she knew what she was talking about and can do most of the stuff in her head and will be able to tell you what you did wrong and were it happened at.

Took algebra and pre-calc with her. Great demeanor and likes a good joke. She is crystal clear with her instructions and offers her lecture slides via WAMAP. Don't be afraid to ask any question, she is a great help.

Sharon is very good at wasting time in class. I went to her class 3 times a week and felt I could have learned everything just 2 days/week. She explains things well, has easy weekly quizzes. Allows notecards on tests, which are sometimes a little hard. All the homework is due on one day. Overall decent teacher

I love Ms.saxton. She is an awesome professor and a very attention grabber one as well. Anyone who is hating on her have no sense of humor and entertainment at all, AND they do not even get that she is trying to make school FUN. Now let's hope she gives me some extra credit for this.

Overall she's a great instructor, but a pretty tough grader. I tried my hardest and got a 3.5..she explains things carefully, weekly quizzes are easy but tests are pretty hard. She cares about her students, she even remembers my name while I took her a while ago. She's funny, too. If you want to gain real knowledge, completely consider her!

FREAKIN AMAZING! Tough on turning in assignments on time and days quizzes and exams are held, but she expects you to act like an adult. Not late assignment turn in or late test taking. Will let you turn in early and test early if needed. Very nice and all around fun teacher.

Simple tests with questions derived directly from WAMAP and the quizes, only problem is she tends to discuss the easier problems and completely disregard the difficult ones making the homework extremely difficult

I've taken two classes with her, business precalc and business calc. I've never been very good at math but I've been doing pretty good in her classes. We use wamap and have weekly quizzes but they aren't too hard if you've done the wamap. She's so fun! My favorite math teacher by far, take her!!

Great!

Shannon is simply amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to start liking math and finally have a teacher who cares about you and whether you understand the subject or not. Her teaching method is excellent. She is very helpful, yet she makes you learn how to seek the information for yourself. Over all I give her a 30 out of 10

Sharon is very clear when answering questions and explaining new concepts. She is both friendly and accessible and enthused about math. She offers lots of opportunities for redemption if you do less than stellar on an exam. Also, she rewards good test scores with a waived final exam. No better way to learn calculus.

She's so jolly and smiley and really seems to love math. I absolutely hate math but Sharon actually had me excited about it at times. Her directions are straight forward. She does assign a lot of homework and her class is by no means "easy" but the nice thing is she gave us as much time as we wanted on tests and quizzes.

Sharon is my favorite teacher I've ever had. She is so happy all the time and loves what she does. The homework can be heavy at times, but it's very doable. If you pay attention in class, you should do well. She gives a full class for exams, and they are way easier than the homework. I wish she was teaching calc 2 this quarter. Would retake.

She is a very good teacher and is very excited about what she's teaching. There is usually at least one class between when an assignment is assigned and when it's due so students have a chance to ask questions. She explains things clearly. The homework might include things she hasn't taught but the quizzes and tests don't.

Do the weekly homework assignments and get full points for them. Weekly quizzes are short and sweet (no tricks), and the lowest one is dropped. There are 3 exams and a cumulative final. The score on the final will replace your lowest exam IF the final's score is higher (no exams get dropped either way). Like any language, math just takes practice.

Great teacher, explains the material brilliantly. Of course you need to stay on top of homework, but if you do you'll be rewarded well. She can be a very picky grader, taking off a whole point if you round, don't have units, or forget some notation, but overall she is benevolent. Have good algebra skills. Important for calc and math in general.

I took MATH 171, 172 & 173 from her, and she's the best (she has the best toys - 3 cabinets full!). She reminds you how important it is to break it down for your students and how making math fun (3 cabinets of math toys!) takes the dread out of it. TAKE HER FOR THAT SERIES AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!

Sharon was so full of energy in her classroom. She seemed so passionate about what she was teaching. She made an effort to show love to everyone in the class. If you had questions she was always very willing to stay after class to explain how the homework works or any questions you might have. I highly recommend taking a class with her.

Saxton was a great teacher and she was very clear. There was always a lot to do in class and it got overwhelming if you didn't stay on top of your work. She was dedicated to her word and made sure that your questions got answered. She is a very nice professor and easy to talk to. I am looking forward to taking more of her classes later.

She is a great professor, and I am very sorry she's not teaching Calc2 over summer. She explained everything, used practical examples, and could answer almost any question on the spot.

Amazing math teacher. Lets you know exactly what is expected. Not an easy subject at all, but she answers every question you have in class, and she reviews every problem on every test and quiz, so you can know how you messed up and what to work on for the next time.

Whenever you ask her questions, she'll nicely answer everything. Maybe sometimes included calculating mistakes, but I like her optimistic attitude. The homework includes wamap and textbook homework. The time for textbook HW is like two to three weeks before due date, but may better start earlier cause there're actually more than fifty of them!

Prof. takes time to explain core ideas very well to students. She is always open to questions and her quizzes are not too difficult. Also just a very sweet, caring person all round.

She is a very nice and helpful teacher. I appreciate her friendliness and patience. And her clarity. However she assigned a LOT of homework and quizzes/tests. It was very overwhelming. If this is your 1st time taking her class (like it was for me) then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE *MENTALLY* PREPARED! I cannot stress this enough!

Sharon is a very kind, experienced professor. Shes teaching some very difficult concepts but makes them seem easy when lecturing; they only then appear difficult when you get to the homework and all the problems are 50x more difficult than what we did in class. Also, tests are very difficult and worth a lot of points. I had the text but didnt use

Gives all the information needed for tests. Tough assignments are only for homework.

I'm honestly so shocked to see all the bad reviews! Sure her class is pretty hard but she offers plenty of support if you need it and gives very clear direction for what is going to be on the tests! It sucks that the quizzes are only three questions because one mistake will getcha but she chooses the easiest ones from the HW!

This class will be a little rough but nothing at a difficult or unreasonable pace. Plan yourself accordingly. For exams, it's about like 10 questions with a, b, c options but you are given a FULL FRONT PAGE of a note sheet to do all the notes. I emphasize NOT DOING HOMEWORK THE NIGHT BEFORE ITS DUE, some of them cover about 40-50 quick questions

You must work hard to do well in this class. She uses WAMAP for homework sets which are harder than the quizzes and tests she gives. Do not procrastinate on the practice sets, they take anywhere from 3-8 hours. She gives partial credit and is lenient on the methods you use to solve problems. Her lectures are helpful and usually cover test content.

I have taken this professor twice and love the course structure! The assignments follow the same pattern every week, I appreciated the predictability. Use all of the resources provided or you will be confused (lectures, textbook, youtube videos if needed) and take notes! Don't take this course, or any online math course, if you struggle with math.

There were lots of resources given to understand the material which was helpful. Though the information on the notes and the assignments didn't always line up and it was confusing to understand at times, the professor replies quickly to messages and is very supportive.

She is super helpful and is patient with questions and explaining concepts. I will admit the homework is way more complicated than the lecture examples, but there's 4 tries for each problem, and you can regenerate similar questions up to 100 times to get full credit. There's also detailed solutions on most. Quizzes and tests are super simple.

I thought Prof Saxton was great. Her lectures were simple to understand, and if your final exam was higher, she would replace it with your lowest quiz. You can gain a good grade in her class if you try just a little and the two-question quizzes and the final were relatively easy.(I did well in math before this class so take that into consideration)

I took 4 classes in a row with this professor. Short lecture videos were provided but I just looked at the lecture notes she posted (very nicely written). Homework assignments can be long so don't try to do them in one day. Use the homework to study and you won't be surprised by exam questions. Easy to follow course structure.

So nice and super helpful, always responds quickly and with concise assistance. Her courses follow a strict schedule and it's really nice to be able to rely on it to be the same each week. About 4-7 hours of work per week. Quiz or exam every week. One group project at the end.

She often goes on tangents during lectures, but I found they helped me understand how calc is used outside of school. As others have said, WAMAP homework sets have many questions, which take a few hours each week. As long as you do the WAMAP problems properly, you should be ready for exams. Exam questions tend to be easier than the homework ones.

Professor Saxton's class is challenging, but if you stay on top of the work and utilize resources like the textbook and unstuck AI, you can succeed. The quizzes and tests are straightforward if you put in the effort.

I think it is very important that you understand going into this class that it is work, heavy, you have 3 tasks to do each week (5-7 hours total). It has a set schedule that you can't change, which is fine as long as nothing important comes up. She makes somewhat helpful lecture videos. For someone who likes math, I thought it was fine.

The class is hard, but she does provide online lectures for you to watch, which is nice.She has 3 exams but only 2 count to your grade, which is super nice. I think as long as you are self-motivated to get assignments done then you will do well in this class
