She is awesome, take her class!
Really helpful teacher.
She's really nice and a good teacher. Plus the best looking teacher at Avc!
it was easy for me because i already knew a lot of the material but i saw a lot of people struggle because she wasn't very good at explaining the subject but if you're comfortable with math at this level, take her! it'll be easy
she's a good teacher and a easy grader she wants you to pass and she helps a lot.
Shes a great teacher. Shes super easy and wants you to help. She will go over something many times just so you can get it! I highly reccomend her!
Good teacher. She will give many examples if you don't understand a problem. Gives out hw everyday. Attendance is very important; I got dropped for missing twice but I'm taking her class again during intersession.
best teacher I have had at AVC. I'm horrible at math and I absolutely loved her class. only math class where I understood all the material. she makes sure you knows the material and is willing to do anything she can to help.
she is great! explain's everything well!!
I have never enjoyed a math class as much as this one! I took the new integrated Math 065 class and Professor Bowers presented the material in a clear, straight-forward, and easy to understand manner. She will go over the material as much as you need and offers many different ways to solve the same problem. I will be taking her future classes.
Ms. Bowers is a great teacher. Loved her for 065 so now im taking her for MATH 070. Shes very helpful & wants all her students to succeed but u have to do ur part & do your work.
Professor Bowers was amazing for MATH 65. I hated math so much and I thought I would do horribly in the class, but her methods are wonderful! She has a few different ways to explain things is one doesn't make sense. A fair grader. And all around nice woman. If you hate math like most people, she is the teacher for you!!!
nice teacher....
TALK ABOUT PASSION! THIS PROFESSOR LOVES TEACHING ALL OF HER STUDENTS. SHE TRULY HAS ALL OF OUR INTEREST @M HEART. I LOVE HER STYLE, IT'S STREAMLINED & CONSISTANT. AS AN INDIVIDUAL, SHE HAS GIVEN UP SO MUCH JUST TO DO WHAT SHE LOVES MOST: BE A MATH TEACHER. WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO APPRECIATE THESE TYPE OF INSTRUCTORS AND REALLY LEARN FROM THEM.
She's an awesome & great teacher. Loved her so much i'm taking her again for 102, you have to do the work or u wont pass, if you dont learn anything u wont pass!! She loves math & at the end of the semester i ended up loving math too..
Class is easy if you pay attention. Ms Bowers is very helpful. She can be fast so pay attention. MyMathLab helps if you don't understand her. For me personally she is the best math teacher I've had so far.
Amazing teacher! She's extremely motivating and passionate about teaching. I've always struggled with mathematics but Mrs. Bowers encouraged me not to ever give up. She always answered every question I had, she was extremely patients.Take her workshops I personally took 5 and helped me pass her class. One of the best teacher's at A.V.C.
Awesome teacher. If you don't pay attention at all don't expect to pass the class.
Mrs. Bowers is so inspirational! She's so nice and very helpful. She makes it very easy to ask questions. She's helped me have a more positive attitude about math. Pay attention in class, do your homework for practice.
I've hated math for as long as I can remember, now not so much. She makes math easy to understand. Ask for help!! She is amazing with one on one and gives detailed lectures. Gives extra credit. Shows several different ways to solve a problem to accommodate students. TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT!!! Don't miss class. Hard grader on tests, not hw.
Ms. Bowers is an amazing math teacher. You do need to do the homework to pass. She explains math with real life situations. Ms. Bowers also takes her time to make sure you understand everything, devoted to you passing the class, do the work, and study the formulas you should have no problem passing. She gave me a higher appreciation for math.
This is my second time taking Mrs. Bowers. She is so helpful and really takes the time to explain things in a way that's easy to understand. There is a lot of homework which turns out to be good because the repetition helps you remember how to solve a problem. She gives a lot of extra credit. Incredibly inspiring and exceptionally rare teacher.
Bowers is a great teacher, very clear on the material, tries to show you shortcuts, and always willing to explain until you understand. I took her for summer, four evenings a week. There's a fair amount of homework, and 4-5 tests in those 8 weeks. I would definitely recommend her, esp if you struggle with math. I'll be looking for her for Math 070.
Bowers is a great teacher. She tries to explain things in a way that will be most understood, and will go over it until you do. I took her for summer semester. There is quite a bit of homework, and about 5 tests. If you do the homework you will understand the tests, and therefore pass the class. I'll be looking for her for all my math classes.
Bowers is definitely a teacher that wants to help you pass, but if you're not good at math take someone a little easier. Her tests are half the grade and she will dock points for anything and everything! No multiple choice whatsoever. She will write examples on the board; but will continue the lecture if you don't say you need help! So say it!
Needs to explain things better
No study guides, so get ready to spend hours studying the wrong thing for the tests. The class time is so short that everything is rushed, so you have to teach yourself everything at home. The class time length isn't her fault though and she will help you if you ask for it.
This professor was the worst! She tries to find all the little mistakes which makes you end up with a really bad test score. She gives no study guides and her tests are extremely difficult. She teaches easy examples and the homework is easy as well but her tests are nothing like the lecture and hw. You learn more from classmates than her.
Professor Bowers is a good teacher, she will sit down with you after class during office hours to help explain things more. The class I did take with her was rushed with just 1 hour, I feel that is not her fault. But because of that be ready to learn the stuff at home if you don't get it in class. Study for all the tests, and do the reviews twice.
Professor Bowers is an excellent professor, and is very lenient as well as open-minded. If you're slow on the subject of math, she'll do the best she can to help you- but do remember, she is on a schedule and must move on accordingly. As far as grading she's lenient (only if you know what you're doing). Kids in the back talk and flunk out, 8.7/10.
I understand math, thanks to her thorough lectures, her goal is to make sure you understand, always available for help, and most definitely take her for all my math courses!! Recommend!!
As good as she is teaching.... sometimes she gives me and people that needed help attitude so she made me not want to ask for help anymore although i did't really need it, super easy class though
Good teacher, take lots of notes and completing homework is mandatory. Willing to help if you don't understand.
Professor Bowers is the best math instructor at AVC, no lie. She takes the time to explain any material you don't understand, so you can do your best on the tests. Wish she taught statistics too!
The class moves on very fast, I'm ok at math but I need time to understand it, so she was not the best fit for me. she doesnt cover everything in class so be ready to self learn most of the material. tests for each chapter is 50% of ur grade so not great for me that needed more time. I usually do better on finals but hers is only 20% of ur grade
Makes you work for it. No extra credit. It is what it is. Be there she does give you points for being there. She's sweet, but should lighten up a bit. Great teacher ! And loves math.
Her lectures are fast paced but understandable, she answers all questions and is very nice. she cracks a few jokes here and there which is pretty funny. Her test are pretty easy. The homework is online even though its a lot its easy and gets done quickly
She was alright, but very serious. Her test were hard. Take this class if you are invested in putting in the time just more than 4 hours a week cause she gives a lot of hw
Professor Bowers enjoys teaching and wants you to succeed. Lectures well, If you read over the chapters before class, take good notes, and follow up with your homework, you should do well. Do the practice tests at the end of each chapter (good study guides) ask questions if needed. Do all the take home quizzes and assignments, every point helps.
Get ready to do tons of homework! She gives extra credit opportunities every homework assignment which helped me pass the class. Gentlemen, she is good looking ;)
extremely nice but HORRIBLE at teaching stats. Teaches from PP. gives reciews and extra credit but the time alotted for teaching IS NOT enough. HEAVILY focuses on math definitions instead of actually teaching the math. Im a diligent student and LOVE math; this was hard for me. Read the chapters and went to tutoring but AVC limited in tutors...
AMAZING professor! Took her online class. there are 3 tests and final. Tests can be rescheduled which helps a lot. she answers her emails right away. All homework on MYMATHLAB which i likked, post reviews like a week before test, and test questions are pretty similar to review. So do the homework, review, and it's an easy pass!
As much as I don't like math, Prof. Bowers makes it easy to understand. Her lectures are clear, and grading is fair. And she gives extra credit a lot. Very helpful and nice professor overall.
For kindness, shes a 6/5. But actually teaching no. Im above average in math, and I fought tooth and nail for a B. Everything is on canvas and is confusing. She originally did things in class on paper but stopped. If youre already great at math and want to work at ur own pace, take her. If you need time in math, shes not the best fit.
The subject is hard by itself, but this teacher makes it understandable. She will make you work for it, be prepared for lots of homework, but if you do it, it really helps. I didn't do my homework at first (and was almost failing), then started catching up, and got a B at the end. Ms Bowers is very helpful, but you do need to do your part
When a teacher is passionate about their work it reflects the way they teach. She loves math and explains it well. I never understood math before taking her class. I went from a failing math student to earning an A, her notes, homework, advice, all play a role in your success. She actually cares and wants to see you succeed which is rare nowadays.
Doesn't explain material well. If you're not that good at math take someone else. even after getting help from tutors and pushing myself to understand the material she dropped me for having a low grade. Extremely unfair. Wouldn't take again.
Great professor! Explains material well, and available after class if I had any questions. I learn to make better notes in her class! Keeping my notes for future in case I need it later. She is also very organized and detailed, it helps a lot.
I took 65 online with her, and now taking 70. Prof. bowers is very clear with her expectations, and easy to follow. All homework online, we met 3 times for test, and final. AND you can reschedule test day if you can't come that day! Her tests looks like the reviews she gives before each test.
Shes very nice, caring also. Homework is online and pretty easy, tests are just like the study guide.
Loved her!
Does not know how to teach material properly! She is all over the place and doesn't even know what she's half of the time. She's nice but not a good math teacher.
I love Mrs. Bowers so much! I took her managing Math Anxiety class & so glad I did! It was not just for math anxiety but it will be helpful for my whole college career! It was good for study skills, positive attitude, perspective, time management, planning, and so much more! Everyone should take math 020 w/Mrs. Bowers! She is awesome!
At first, she seems really nice and caring but she makes everything so difficult. Gave us so much homework and NEVER graded it. She barely taught us anything over the semester, even put problems, we never learned, on the exams. Sometimes it seemed like she wanted us to fail her class. Never again.
Ms Bowers is really nice and helpful. And she is patient with answering questions. Really enjoyed her class. I am taking her for 115 too!
Honestly I do not recommend her to anyone because she does not know how to explain the material. She only gives one example and will not give you another to help. I dropped the class because it was too much work and homework that she never graded. Take it with another professor.
I don't recommend taking her math115 stats class, if you are not naturally good in math. If it doesn't come easy for you take another professor! Her practice tests are nothing like the tests. She sometimes explained problems well. A large amount of the class failed, I dropped. Your on your own with her. Mrs. Bowers is a caring/nice teacher though.
She gives a lot of homework, but her lectures are pretty clear, so it helps. Homework online. She lets you use formulas on every test. Extra credit helps too.
If you do not pick up things quickly. Do not take her. She literally goes through slides so fast and quickly explains the example on the slide but doesnt explain the steps. Yes she provides study guides but the study guides seem to not portray what you should know for the test. Its confusing. A lot of people dropped her class.
Speeds through lectures and does not really provide step by step instructions on the math problems. She just shows you how to do it and then gives a group activity after. Get ready for A LOT of quizzes online and in-class. Does provide extra credit If math is not your greatest subject, then save your time and energy and take a different professor.
Hand down the best math professor I had so far! She is so patient, answered every question i had. taking her for stats too in fall. Easy to follow, very organized. Just do your homework and test reviews, there extra credit and you'll pass easily
Prof. Bowers is an amazing teacher. She wants her students succeed, she is super nice and she cares about her students. I took 102 and 115 with her and would take more classes if I needed more math classes. Take her, you won't regret!
Ms. Bowers is passionate about making sure students learn. The materials she provided for my statistics course were plentiful, to say the least; she's super organized in such a way that there's always something students can reference or go to when they're confused. Participation is strongly encouraged, so you should take opportunities when you can.
I took her Spring 2020 for statistics. She gave a lot of homework but it was doable. She transitioned well to online during the pandemic. She made herself available to help which was very nice. She knows the material and gives good examples. Statistics is somewhat a hard class, but she made it manageable. I ended with an A in the class.
DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS she goes wayyyy too fast and doesn't explain her lectures. she gives way to much homework and hardly ever goes over the homework. I PROMISE YOU DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!! I was a straight A student in high school in math AP classes and once I took her class it was something else again...... DO NOT TAKE HER!
The good thing about this Professor is she makes amazing videos on each section and with each video you can complete the homework, and tests no problem. The bad is that she doesnt prepare for lectures so her lectures arnt worth going to, and she rushed towards the end making us learn new material the last week instead of preparing for the final.
Professor Bowers is so incredibly kind so you won't regret taking her. You can tell she truly cares about her students. Although there is a lot of homework, it helps you with the tests.
When I tell you I hate how everyone is complaining how this professor "sets you up for failure". I took this professor my first semester and I cannot stress enough how flexible she is. She is the sweetest person ever. Answers your questions directly and has is flexible with grading. She is generous enough to drop some of your lowest grades and tut
The amount of homework there is insane. Doesn't really teach how to solve the problems, only goes over the pp and has you do group work. She does however drop some of your lowest grades, but if you don't score well on her prep work it can hurt your grade. If it wasn't for Chegg, youtube vids, and me teaching myself, I don't think I would've passed.
Ms. Bowers is very understanding and lenient with the due dates, you just need to ask her. She said she would not reschedule but when I explained that I had a family emergency she moved the dates for me. She is very supportive and wants you to pass the class. Just talk to her if you have difficulties understanding.
Great professor! Explains everything well and her videos are very helpful. She has alot of homework but she always answered my emails fast when I had questions. I though I would not survive this class but she made it easy. Take her you won't regret.
Prof Bowers was really nice and the class was well set up. Lots of work outside of class but it's to be expected. I did think the website we used to do homework was a little irritating, because you have to be really specific when answering, but otherwise the class was pretty easy. Also lots of in collaboration which was hard for an online class.
She really does care about you doing well - lots of extra credit. You have several attempts to take quizzes. Her lectures are easy to follow and the text book she uses is very good. The homework assignments walk you through how to complete the math problems. If you don't consider yourself a math person, you should take Professor Bowers!
Amazing professor. Im pretty sure I wouldve been able to get an A, but I was lazy and I kept procrastinating. Overall, she is an amazing professor, very kind, and open-minded.
Professor . Bowers is an amazing statistics teacher and she cares about her students as well as teaching be prepared there is lots of homework every day as well as notes my math lab truly helps you solve the problem and so does her YouTube videos she shows you also if you just ask her a question she is more than glad to help . Best math teacher !!
I took her online. Her YouTube lectures were 10-20 mins. The homework had a step-by-step example of how to solve each problem. She does not mark you late for turning in assignments after the due date. Sometimes there is too much work assigned for the week, and some quizzes are up to 30 questions, but you can retake it up to 10 times.
She was a good teacher when I took math100a (2018) But this was another level of frustrating. If you have always been good at math your in the clear but warning she is not tech Savy will need 2 programs to do work. If it's possible to take a class of hers in person do it but online sad to say she falls short. O and she doesn't explain answers :c
She makes her own videos to teach the class which were helpful but sometimes those videos didn't go over a specific topic that was needed for exams which left me going through youtube to teach myself. The online projects were tedious and there was a lot of things to be graded on (like 80 assignments). Overall your grade is based on your effort.
I took this class online during the summer. Prof Bowers is very caring and understanding, she listens to her students and makes adjustments with assignments if needed. She will respond to emails almost immediately. Her group projects really teach you a lot. Midterms and Final are proctored and timed, she gives you chances to take again. Love her!
she isn't very online savvy and takes FOREVER to grade assignments. She also never sends out notifications on when things are due and if you don't do specific things in the assignment she will give you a zero. you also have to spend a while studying in this class if you want to do good and she isn't very available. honestly don't take her.
Miss Jane's teaching was inconsistent. Some days she was supportive, but others she was not. The final exam answer sheet mismatched the actual exam, with only a few questions similar. She also provided incorrect answers during quiz reviews and assigned a considerable amount of work and projects, making the learning experience quite challenging.
Professor Bowers was ok, but a heads up-her quizzes and hmwrk don't really match the style of her exams, which made it frustrating.The projects didn't help much either.I took this class in the summer, and honestly, her expectation's felt high. There's no extra credit. Also, she requires you to record yourself for the projects for the class to see.
Prof. Bowers was very supportive and quickly responded to emails. Her active Q&A forum and helpful projects made concepts clear. Canvas was well-organized. Stay on top of deadlines! She wants you to succeed and does what she can to support you. Overall, she's one of the most caring and involved professors I've had in an online class.
There is a lot of homework, I had her online and it wasn't a zoom class but we did have to do a couple mandatory zoom classes. She is very sweet tho. It is a note heavy class, and is very particular when grading, do it online if you can!
