Though she does have a Russian accent, she does clarify things.

great teacher! gives examples for every situation. relatively easy!

She does have an accent, but if you attend class, she makes the material very understandable. I got A's in both of her classes.

Loved her accent!

i love this lady!!!

Very nice teacher. Helpful, just wish she did outside reviews for tests.

She's a-ight with me. The handouts are off the chain & kept me caught up with the lesson. If u can't understand her accent, she'll be glad to break it down for you.

I don't care what anyone says; this lady is awesome!!

She's a great teacher who has awesome handouts. She's wonderful in explaining any problems. Love her!!

I have had this teacher for precalculus and calculus and I wouldn't be able to do any of this stuff with out her. She is bery helpful and her handouts are excellent. She is a sweetheart.

Sofia is a wonderful calc. prof. She knows her math and is extremely nice. She will go out of her way to help you at anytime. I would def. recommend her!!!

She is a wonderful teacher and is always willing to help you out if you are confused. She gives handouts that help make things more understandable. Her class is not easy, but no calculus class is easy. I would recommend taking her as a teacher.

ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I'VE HAD!!

Her lectures were nearly incoherent, I essentially had to learn calculus from the text. The only reason I continued attending class on non-test days was the vain hope that she would drop the eraser...God what a hottie!

She is a good teacher. I would recommend her. I got an A. If I can do it, anyone can do it. If you are trying to pass and she sees that you are, she will probably help you if you go to her office.

Mrs. Agrest is a great teacher. She will bend over backwards for her students and makes it very easy to get an A. Her quizzes are harder than her tests, but she always offers extra credit and it helps A LOT.

Ms. Agrest is awesome. She's a very good teacher. She moves quickly, but shows all new material step by step. Wonderful lady and cute to boot.

Hard class, but what can you expect? it's calculus. She gives lots of review and grades on a little curve and extra credit.

She presented the material in a very understanding way. She made sure everyone understood before moving on or offered to help after class.

Agrest is so sweet. She will work as hard as you do to pass you.

Ms. Agrest rocked my world. She was probably my favorite teacher of the semester because she was really good at Calculus and she was so funny. Laugh at her small jokes. She likes that!

Her worksheets were very helpful and she gave homework problems every night. If you had any questions or problems she would work with you and her test were problems from the homework or quizzes. Can make a good grade in this hard class.

ummmm....well i thought she wasn't easy but i mean if you study hard you'll do fine. she's one of those people who make you work hard to get an A...she's pretty cute tho

She is a cool teacher, always willing to help. She does have an attendance policy and takes roll every class, so you can only miss a couple of days.

LOVE AGREST! she is very helpful. Make sure you do your homework and stay with her and you will do fine. the reviews right before the test are VERY HELPFUL.. i'm not kidding, do them! she is a very nice lady and funny too!

mrs. agrest is by far the best math teacher i've had and i am definatly not a math person. make sure you do the homework and the test reviews, most of the time there are several homework problems on the tests and quizzes.

I LOVED HER CLASS! she is one of the best teachers i've had at cofc. i would have taken calc 2 if she taught it. she's very organized and if you work hard, your grade will show it. if i can get an A in calc then anyone can.

She is the greatest math teacher I have ever had. I was recently admitted into SNAP for a learning disability in math and I made a B in Precal. I worked hard but she is very helpful and fair. Notes are very easy to understand.

Calculus (w/ some necessary studying) was easy and fun. Mrs. Agrest does have a sense of humor... Uh huh huh.

tough, made me learn even though i was way behind in math after high school. i scraped an A

This was by far the easiest class I have ever taken! It is the only class I have ever made an A in. I highly recommend Ms. Agrest. She is very helpful and yeah she might be a little difficult to understand but the material is EASY! Relax, you'll do fine

She is an awesome teacher who will help you as long as you ask for it. She has a great sense of humor, and looks really really nice.

She was super at going at an understandable pace and if you still didn't follow she was very helpful during her office hours.

I personally thought she was a very good teacher. At times she is hard to understand, but she is very willing to slow down and try her best to help you. She gives a lot of extra credit and wants to make sure you do well. Attend class and ask a lot of questions and you'll be fine.

If you already pretty good at precal, you will do fine, but many people who had not already taken precal in high school suffered. Do the homework! She often uses problems for the homework or from notes (which she types up and you fill in) on test and quizes! Drops lowest test and quiz. A if you work

Had problems with other professors, very clear, good notes, not a bad class

Shes so sweet and funny! She really knows Calc and is willing to help if you need it. She's very fair but the final is worth 25% so its rough if you're not good at taking finals. You can miss class 5 times w.o penalitation. TAKE HER! She's the best Calc teacher at Cofc

Okay lets face it. Calculus sucks. But Mrs. Agrest is adorable. Her accent makes her hard to understand sometimes and she moves really fast but she is so smart and wants everyone to do well. Go to backwork and do the homework. If you try really really really hard you will do well

No Comments

she has a weird accent but you get use to it. she tries as hard as she can to help you understand. her tests are from homework, but hw is not required. however, you have to know the basics of calc to understand her. she assumes that you know your stuff.

She is so sweet and helpful. She is really smart and knows exactly what she is talking about- plus she is always so friendly- which is nice at 8 in the morning :)

she is really nice and you only use the textbook for homework. teaches off of handout that u must print off her website. overall a good teacher and i enjoyed her. humorous also.

She knows what she is talking about and if you ask for it, she will help you. Homework is not mandatory but some quiz questions come straight from homework. If you don't know the material before taking her class then it will be difficult. I would highly reccomend if you have taken calculus before.

she is a real good professor. I mean she is amazing. Calculus is an extremely hard class and she teaches it in a way that makes sense. i wish all the professors could teach like her. she presents all of the material clearly. Her worksheets are the key. IF you study them and can do those problems them you will do real good in her class.

Very sweet lady but THIS CLASS IS HARD. Admittedly, I've never been good at, and therefore never liked math, but I have had other teachers who've broken it down to the point where I could understand. Definitley do the homework and review handouts...most test/quizz probs come straight from those. Ask her to explain if you don't understand! She will.

Great professor, especially if you've already taken calculus. She is good at explaining concepts, and I learned far more in this class than I ever learned in high school calculus. Just be prepared to do the homework to really get it.

Easy to understand, great handouts - makes it easier to follow steps. Always making sure you understand before moving on. My grades in math always depended on the teacher. If you're like me then you should take her!!!

Great teacher! Very knowledgeable about what she teaches! Offers to help when you do not understand something. Easy office hours. Do the reviews... they are exactly like the test, just different numbers. The projects are difficult, but again she offers help to who ever needs it. I would definatly take her again!

All i can say is she's fair. And hot.

she was a good teacher only she moved really quickly through the material.

She's a little hard to swallow, but she's a great teacher and she knows what she's talking about.

She is a good teacher and explains things well. She's somewhat intimidating but if you go to her office she is helpful. She moves at a fast pace but if you keep up with the homework and go to SI sessions you will do good in her class.

You kind of have to already have a good knowledge of calculus before taking this calculus class. Without it, I had a lot of trouble. Tests are insane so students...be prepared!

shes pretty good..i love her teaching style..very fast but to the point!

The class itself is hard, but Agrest is GREAT. I hate math, but I love her class, she has a lot of good energy and she's pretty funny.

took her over the summer for calculus I - so much easier to comprehend over a shorter semester and explained things way better than the other teacher i had for this course.

I've never met a teacher who cares more about her students. she really wants you to understand the material and will go the extra mile if you will. By far is one of my favorite teachers, but don't be mistaken, she makes you work in her class. She gives you every opportunity to receive an A if you are willing to work for it.

She certainly knows her stuff! Her handouts are very helpful. Be sure to do the homework because she uses questions straight from it on quizzes and tests. Sometimes, she seems to not care too much about whether students understand the material or not, but overall, she is usually willing to help out and give you a hand with a difficult subject.

She is hard to understand because of her accent but she has straight forward notes and the test questions are pretty much the same as the notes and homework problems. Homework isn't mandatory. If you can get through the accent then you can probably do well in the class.

She's great! She's very intimidating at the beginning, but you'll like her once you get started. It's a very hard class, but she's always willing to help. Do your homework EVERY night and ask questions and you'll do fine. Take her if you want to learn and get your money's worth.

ok i had her this summer, and i dont know why so many people are saying negative things about her. I love her, shes an awesome teacher, and she will answer your questions if u just ask her...as a matter of fact she encouraged us to participate and ask her whatever we wanted. shes there to help. sure there is a lot of homework, and u actually hav

Tough class. I failed like four or five quizzes but she drops like three or something. I must have Aced the final cuz I so gotta A minus. I like her shes wa great professor.

She expects a lot from her students but she is a wonderful teacher. She gets right to the point and lets her students know exactly what she expects, and after the first few days she will become one of your favorite teachers.

She is a great teacher. She provides packets of notes that are filled in during class, and she gives plenty of examples. Calculus is a hard class, but if you do your homework, and ask questions when you are confused, she is more than willing to work with you. She will be one of your favorite teachers.

I think she's a great teacher. Once you understand her accent, she's a very clear teacher. Her tests are very fair, and the study guides really help. She's helpful in office hours, and gives opportunities for extra credit. I highly recommend her. She may be a little tough, but it's possible to get a B or A with hard work.

I like Prof. Agrest. She presents the material in a simple manner and really wants to prepare you for Calculus, however, I would never ever ever recommend taking this class for a summer session. It's too much too fast - she gives some extra points but unless you're a math genius, you'll be in trouble.

Miss Agrest is probably one of the best math teachers on this campus. Her class may seem tough but if you do the homework and come to class it's easy to follow.

As a precalc teacher, she prepares you well for upper level classes. Shes the math chair, so she's a great teacher. The tests and quizzes come right from the handouts. Sometimes it can be tough as she moves fast, but its easy to get used to. She's good about office hours

For precalc, shes very easy and prepares you for upper level math classes very well bc she is the department chair. Her students always perform way better on the final than the other pre-calc classes. Calculus is a lot more challenging and she goes very fast. for both classes, drops 2 lowest quiz grades and final can replace a test grade

She is a good teacher, I believe a math department chair. She provides the class with handouts for the lectures, but goes crazy when you do not have them. Be sure to take notes even if you forget to bring a handout because she will call you out. Her tests are hard and she assigns webassign almost every other day. She's willing to help, but hard.

I loved her calc class so much! Her accent and her extreme energy makes her very fun to take class from!

A word of advice for Pre-Calc. Do not take in summer! It goes fast and is very hard. She replaces lowest exam if final exam score is higher and provides necessary notes. Expects participation in disccusion while note taking at same time which is difficult she isn't patient. She is details but deducts pts for not showing work which is like H.S.

Prof. Agrest is a great teacher but she moves very quickly. I don't like math very much so I was in the math lab almost every day for help. She provides good notes and is happy to work through problems, but sometimes can be impatient. She's comical at times and actually cares about her students and their success.

Agrest is great! But if you are not decent at math, I can see how she would be a struggle. I would highly recommend never missing her class, as it is fast paced and you take lots of helpful notes everyday. But if you do have to for a legit reason, she is helpful in her office hours. There are four tests, 8 quizzes and a cumulative final plus hw

Professor Agrest is a great teacher. I am absolutely terrible at math but after I took her for precal I made sure to take her for calc. Always print out the handouts. She makes them so note taking is easier for you. There is homework after every class but if you do it you will do really well in the class. She is generally upbeat and happy.

Prof. Agrest is a good teacher, however you should probably only take her if you are already somewhat good at math. She goes very fast but always explains everything. At times she does make you seem stupid for asking questions but she will always answer them. Good teacher, but I can see why she may get bad reviews.

Professor Agrest is without a doubt the best math professor I have ever had. She made me interested in math. For you all who want to succeed and work hard(especially if you are interested in science): take her. For those of you who go to college to slack off: take someone else. Professor Agrest is sweet, fair, fast and clear. I owe her big.

Dr. Agrest knows her stuff, just make sure to keep up with the all the sheets she has you print out to follow along in class. Also, don't fall behind on WebAssign. She is an amazing professor, and not so hard on the eyes either.

Lets be real here. Calculus is difficult. It will be difficult no matter who you have. There is a ton of information to get through during the semester and it isn't going to be an easy class. But Agrest is a good teacher and if you want to actually learn and be prepared for your final and potentially higher level math, this is who you need to take.

Prof. Agrest is a great teacher. Calculus is a difficult class, so you're going to have to study no matter what, but she makes it as clear as possible. She does move quickly through lectures, but gives handouts to fill out and stops every so often to make sure everyone is on the same page. She is open to all questions and very helpful when you ask!

Highly reccomend her for both pre-calc & calc. The notes she types out for her classes are great study guides for tests/quizzes/finals. ASK questions in class, & go to her office hours! Do the HW consistently, study a lot, & you will do well. She is very funny, intelligent, & cheerful, & wants her students to put in the effort & succeed!

Professor Agrest was a great teacher! If you are lazy and don't study or do your homework you will fail. The class will be easy if you pay attention, do your homework and study the handouts! The homework is harder than her tests and quizzes.

AMAZING LADY! The class is challenging, but not impossible. She provides an abundance of opportunities for practicing and getting help, super nice and funny, and very well versed on the subject.

Gives out notes that are so wonderfully detailed and easy to follow. They really have helped. Overall a nice person but will call you out for having your phone or goofing around. However, if you are goofing around you're screwing yourself over because she really does go quickly.

Moves quite fast, but notes are detailed. As long as you understand examples and hw, you'll do fine. The quizzes are mostly hw questions so stay ahead at least a day. If you have trouble, check out Symbolab. Extra credit is offered for each test and the final is curved massively. Don't buy the textbook, just get the access code via eBay/publisher)

There is a lot of hw. She also drops the lowest quiz, lowest 3 hw grades, and replaces your test with your grade on the final if it's higher.

She moves very fast but if you understand math and are looking for an easy way to get the gen ed out of they way, take her! She speaks quickly and is funny! She offers extra credit on her tests, drops 4 lowest homeworks and drops lowest quiz store. I loved having her and would definitely take again!

agrest is your best bet for precal. precal is an overall horrible class at cofc and she is the only one that will make at least some sense. This is my second time taking it and first time with agrest and my grade is way better than last semesters for sure. it's gonna be hard but she wants you to get a good grade, good luck

I don't know how everyone is hating on her so hard here. She is literally the best math teacher I have ever had. Yes, she has an accent, and yes, she speaks fast. But her handouts are the most helpful tools I have ever used in a math class and It ensures that you have complete and accurate notes! Great professor.

Agrest teaches Precal, which is hard enough! She actually is a very sweet person who is glad to help you through issues in the class but don't think asking for help will make her take it easy on you. She does speak fast with a strong accent but she is very intelligent & knowledgeable

She is very detailed with all her lectures! She knows how to make sense of math, and will do her best to make sure your understand. She moves very fast but will slow down if you ask her.

She is tough, but if I said she isn't the best math teacher I've ever had, I'd be lying. While the concepts seem difficult she is so meticulous in the way she teaches that it makes everything so clear. Her accent and positive attitude makes me enjoy her class. "Life is good, math is fun!"

She is awesome, but if you are not great at math (me), this precal class is difficult. We learn SO much material, SO fast. She is not a bad professor but just be prepared for the class to keep going whether people understand what is going on or not. Also, SEVERAL people withdrew from the class because they were not doing well...I probably should've

Lots of quizzes and only three tests, and three labs. Grades very meticulously but she is Seriosuly the best option for a calculus teacher. Her handouts/notes are SO helpful and it is essential to come to class. Moves very fast but She provides you with everything you need to succeed & sets you up for success. Onlinehw due 4x a week in weekdays

If you're good at math don't let these other reviews scare you. If you're bad at math like me though, RUN!! I had to drop the course because I could not get my grade up. The tests were impossible for me. Just warning, this class is HARD. She is nice about extra credit and curving but it just wasn't enough for me. Otherwise, I loved Prof. Agrest.

Prof Agrest is a wonderful professor, she teaches fast, so make sure you focus. However, she does also post all lectures in OAKS as well, which is a great resource, if you can't keep up. She may come across a bit harsh at first, but she is very kind and wishes the best for her students.

Agrest's PreCalc class includes homework, quizzes, tests, and "Labs". She provides A LOT of notes. However, her notes give insight into what is expected. The Quizzes and Test normally include about 7 (Quiz) and 20 (Test) questions max. Many points are included into the grade book as well. Overall, work hard and it is possible to get an A.

She is a pretty good professor. You take a LOT of notes that you have to print b4 every class but she definitely tries to work a lot of examples. There are 7 quizzes and 3 tests. She offers extra credit assignments for every test. There are three math labs that should be easy A's if you do the work. HW due 3x a week. Do the work and you'll be fine.

Agrest is honestly a tough professor. She really wants you to work to understand the material. I would definitely take her again and she helped me understand that you need to work hard to see the grades that you want. Dont take if you arent willing to work hard, but take if you actually want to learn something.

Great teacher if you understand basic algebra concepts. Teaches in a way that helps you develop a pattern to solving problems. Definitely recommend if you are a fast paced learner but if not, then do not recommend.

Professor Agrest is very sweet and funny. Your grade is comprised of 4 tests and 4 quizzes (lowest quiz grade is dropped). Homework 3X a week. Tests are easier than the homework and in-class examples and she offers a 5-point extra credit assignment for each test. She moves very fast but if you go to class and pay attention you will be fine.

Agrest is a great professor and really funny. She moves through content pretty fast but has good resources for note taking. Homework 3x a week, 4 quizzes, and 3 tests.

Ms. Agrest is a fantastic teacher. The material is obviously touch since she teaches Pre-Cal and calculus but she explains the topics well and uses real life examples when she can.

Dr. Agrest was a great professor. She explained the material very well. The course was all notes and lecture with classwork assignments too. I never felt like she was shaming me for asking questions. There was extra credit on all of the tests and she drops the lowest quiz grade. She wants you to pass and you will pass if you put in effort.

grade is heavily based on tests, 3 tests, 3-5 quizzes, 3 "labs" (group work) and homework 3x a week. will always give hw extensions if you ask and truly wants you to pass, but the material is difficult. she is well organized and provides guided notes which is nice, but you HAVE to study consistently.

She wants to help her students in any way possible. Wants us to get As and will give us the resources needed to succeed.

Dr. Agrest is very smart and explains concepts well. Calc is hard and effort is needed to pass the class, but the difficulty of the material is not her fault and she gives you the resources needed to learn the information. People are vindictive on RMP because they fail. Don't let bad ratings deter you from taking her class.

I really liked her as a teacher. the class was hard, but she was really helpful. your grade in her class is a reflection of how hard you work. all of the resources are given to you. I will say her tests are pretty intense but she has a review before each one!

She's really good, but Calc is tough if you don't already have a background. I wouldn't take it if you haven't had Calc in high school. She gives extra credit for every test and does a review before each one. If you do and understand everything in the review that's an easy A.

Professor Agrest's class is pretty intense, but she's genuinely invested in helping you succeed. Utilize all the resources like the guided notes and unstuck ai - they really help offset the fast pace.

She was the only math prof I've ever had that was effective for me. Hard and fast-paced class, but she is a great lecturer and very nice. Printed notes that are easy to follow and the grading scale is very reasonable. You can't do well without studying though. I would 100% take her for every math class if I could.

I'm not great at math, but she's a great teacher and very kind, always happy to explain things if you need more help. 10/10 PLEASE TAKE HER. I personally do not understand the bad reviews. Yes, the class is hard, but that's because the subject itself is hard, not because she makes it so. She has really helped me be more confident in the subject!

Professor Agrest can seem sort of agressive at first but I really came to respect her by the end of the semester. She truly walks you through every concept and wants to make sure everyone understands the lecture. There is homework every night but it helps you comprehend the lecture.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Intimidating but she is very kind and understanding. Great teacher and I wouldn't consider myself great at math. An A+ is very attainable in her class. I can't say enough good things about her and her class.
