She is not helpful and not very clear on explaining!
No Comments
She is amazing. She has office hours almost all day and she has a large table that is always filled with students getting extra help. She also gives you a 2nd chance quiz and lets you keep the best of the 2 grades. She runs class like a Chinese General.
One of the best teachers I ever had. I don't know why people complain, taking her class was free of choice... for sure, one of the best teachers. would recomend everyone to take the class!!!

bi*ch explains her in one word
She is the only teacher that I have ever had that will let you in her office for hours and help you study!
very clear on the way the work should be worked out. spends extra time with you if you need it. will let you come to her office and work or meet you in the lab to do work. she is helpful and cares if you pass her class or not. (she wants you to pass.)
Very clear on what she wants. Never wants a student to fail and makes all possible allowences so you can pass with a good grade!
horrible!!!! tells you most students take her 2 or 3 times. lectures math, yells all the time. tells students her teenagers are smarter. tests are extremely hard. hated her class. would not take her again if she was the only professor in math department.
Ms. Graff is great. Her tests are fair- she tells you what to study and occasionally will walk around and tell you if you are making a mistake so you can fix it- while you take the test! She's very kind and will joke around with you. Always helpful.
SHe is my favorite teacher. SHe really works hard with you and she helped me get an A in her class. For me to get an A in math was a miracle in itself. SHe is a wonderful teacher and she still helps me even though I am not in her class.
The first week of class I was terrified, she seems strict, but really she is a great teacher. She makes you do your homework, which for me is good, otherwise you don't learn. She built a strong foundation for Algebra. She is very intelligent! Take her!
At first it is a little hard to understand her due to hre accent. She is very helpful, wants her students to pass. She will explain things in a way that everyone can understand. She is always willing to meet students out side of class.
undermines students' confidence with relentless comments regarding their inability to grasp concepts before they are taught... not thorough when teaching more difficult material, then chastises students for not understanding. would not reccommend...
yes or no? NO!
She's a great teacher, but we're making a Glossary called "The Graff Graph" to figure out what she's saying. When she says Learner she pronounces it "Nooner" & she adds random 's' & 'f' to words, liberally. She's good if you can unders
Excellent teacher, very helpful and makes sure you understand material
She is a wonderful teacher and she is very helpful in making sure that her students understand the materials that they are being taught.
very sweet and very good teacher.
Ms. Graff is a great teacher. In the beginning she seems mean but she really is not. If you want to pass, you will. She only helps those who want to be helped, but she will go out of her way to help you understand. Take her class, it is worth it.
yeah, shes very "mean"and you laugh, but shes real funny.laugh with her and laugh at her, thats how you will get along with her...Nooner,jaja!you got that right!crazys nastys
I was late five minutes to one of her test due to parking at the West campus, the lady did not let me take the test. This **** is mean as hell.
quick to assume that you already know most of the material before explaining. talks too quickly to fully comprehend what she means. Right? Yes? No! Wrong.
she just wants you to learn and pass the comp exam. She takes an interest, even down to calling her students at home. This was my secind try at this class, and I'm sure glad I got her.
she's crunk as hell, makes everyone look dumb awesome class, learned a lot finally passed the competency after taking her class, she explains everything VERY clearly and has the best methods of teaching, she's willing to go an extra 10 miles to see you pass the comp/class. and shes pretty hot ;]
I love love love Mrs. Graff she is the best math professor that i have ever had she explains every thing to the fullest and i love her for that shes frikin a good teacher, Lawrence
Mrs. Graff is one of the best professors at VCC. She goes to the limit to help you learn math. She makes math simple & easy. She'll even call you to encourage you! Her grading is fair & consistent. If you do the work when she assigns it, you will pass the Comp. Do yourself a favor: Get in her class!
Had her back in 2000 and wasn't a big fan of her. She's a nice lady, but her jokes and sarcasm can get old. She talks way too fast and expects you to understand the math already. If you dislike math like me, then she's not the one for you.
Mrs. Graff is the Greatest of the Greatest she dosent mind helping you learn and she always wants to know " do you understand? ... Yes or no, yessss or no?..." she is awesome and wants to see all of her students pass. With my class she cried because the students werent doing the homework i'll admit i was not doing it but when i started doing it, th
Awesome teacher she explained things over and over, so you can always pick up where you didn't understand. I was scared of the class when it first started but then I ended up loving it. She is GREAT!
She is definetly the mercedez benz, means the best! She seems hard at first, but as long as you do the homework every day & the extra credit every day you'll be fine. She is the best teacher I had in math, she is sweet, nice and helpful. You'll get an A if you do the extra homework, you'll really learn with her, she is excellent!!!
Professor Graff was and is the best math teacher at VCC. She makes it seems as if she is tough and mean at first but she's not she is the coolest.
MRS. GRAFF TEACHES LIKE A CHINESE GENERAL! BUT SHES AWESOME! I LOV E HER I LEANRED SO MUCH... AND I PASSED EVERYTHING.. EVEN THE COMP WITH AN "A" THATS A FIRST FOR ME IN MATH..... TAKE MRS GRAFF... DO THE WORK... AND U WONT REGRET IT! PS DONT BE
lol wut can I say? Shes a good teacher.. she just need 2 learn how 2 speak english 1st! Ull survive if u take her class tho! hehe
All of you are crazy who gave this woman a good rating! She is a math nazi! The students in my class have to correct her cause she is confusing! She gives quizzes every class and requires nothing less than perfection giving no partial credit at all! She is negative, gives poor lectures, and her Engish is weak. Keep looking this lady is nuts!
At first you can't understand a word that she's saying but you can tell she really cares.
TAKE HER.....U WILL PASS THE COPMP!!!
she's a great teacher. she helped out a lot. she even has study sections after her classes. All the material is pretty hard, but she does explain it really well though.
She will scare you away the first day. Only half of the class will make it to the end. Very hard on students. Very critical. Very strong personality! Regularly gives moativational speeches. Late to her own class most of the time. She does care about students who are willing to work and follow directions. A lot of quizes!
I though she was a great teacher because if your willing to work at it she is willing to help you. She will even take time out of the weekend to meet you somewhere just to give you some extra help if you need it. I think she's a great teacher overall. She gives lots of hard quizzes so that when you get to the COMP you will think that it's easy.
Mrs. graff will scare you alot on your first day however, she is a great professor to take. She will always help you and make sure you acomplish your goal. She also gives motivational speeches to keep your focused. I do recommend her to anyone needing to take any math course. She is a wonderful professor. A+
After the first day, my impression for Mrs. Graff was not a good one. However, after going through her class, i now have more respect for her. I do not recommend her, but she is a pretty good proffessor.
On the first day of class she said she was the best Math teacher Valencia. And now I belive her! She really breaks down everything for you to undersatnd. She is very funny and enjoys what she does. She will work you hard but it pays off in the end. She was a great teacher!
She seems a little scary at the beginning, but she is so helpful and clear about everything that is expected. She makes you do homework, but it pays off in the end. I recommend her if you're not that strong in Math, like me.
This woman is like, my mother. She's amazing. Very strict, but always wants to help people improve themselves. Those of you who complain about her being too strict are obviously superficial and care nothing about what is beneficial to your education.
if you know how to take notes, you will be fine. she makes things so easy to understand. very good professor.
Take her only if you're reasonable strong in math or if you want to spend hours and hours studying. She's a great teacher, will go out of her way to help you will even meet with you outside of class if you really want to make a good grade you can if you have the time. Probably better suited for an honors class but you will learn a lot
very good teacher. at FIRST, like a week, she is very strict and will go hard on you. but... after a week or two, she is mad cool. she is nice and sometimes funny. want a math teacher, take this class. don't be afraid of her strictness though. it will cool down. :)
I loved this professor. She is the perfect example of a teacher. I'm not really good in math but I got an A in this class. I think the reason was because she brought out the best in me. She saw potential in me and pulled it out. A very intelligent woman. She is the best. Very,very,very helpful. There's no reason why a student cannot pass her class.
one word- terrible.
i have been the world's worst math student all my life but she is the first teacher to make me enjoy math by making me GOOD at it! I even changed my major from Poli Sci to Intl Business! don't be late and don't be disrespectful...she really hates that. she will go the extra mile for you!! If you want to pass, I don't see any reason why you can't
I hope this is the only class ur going to take because it takes a great % of your time. I spend most of the****ster in the math lab trying to get help for this class. She speks in high mathematic terms that i didn't understand. the student in my class drop out in the middle of the semester. once u get over class u'll be prepared to take calc 2
People don't take her, she is hard and u'll have to spend all the time in the math lab. quizzes in every class, and she makes 1/2 of the class drop out. careful
She is an awesome teacher. You will learn something from her as well as lessons in life. She keeps a fast speed. if you are a hard worker then you will not fail this class.
Great prof. If your taking any math definately take her. She is extremely helpful and will do evrything in her power to help you pass.
This lady does not care about anything else but math. She tells u to drop the course after one bad grade in her class..very discouraging, and lots of homework. If you dont come to class, she gives out ur number, and everyone who calls u gets a point on their test!!
This lady is CRAZY! She's good at teaching math, but she has just about the worst people skills imagineable. I don't recommend taking her class, the other math teachers at Valencia are much nicer and more helpful.
She is the best!! She is hard but she let's you go at your own pace. A Lot of h.w. but she is very helpful, test are good if you study.
great teacher she helps even on the weekends. she works a little fast but just like any other teacher does in a 1:15 class do ask for more "think exponentially lesson they are awesome and very helpfull in life
Very Crazy Prof. She had no people skils whatso ever. She told the class you get one bad grade you need to drop out because you will fail. NOT RECOMMENDED at all!
She is awesome, you have to do the work...and let me tell is A LOT but she is super nice, just go to EVERY cl**** and do ALL the homework, math is hard but if you do the work you'll be ok.
she was a hard teacher. got mad over a joke that was made in class by a student she knew. i couldn't undersatand her accent. wouldn't recommend anyone to take her class is you're bad in math.
Worst teacher ever!!! i had to drop out because i could not understand her and she would definately not help you during class, instead she would make you feel stupid and embarass u infront of everyone. If u miss a day, u need to drop out because she will fail u.
She is a awesome teacher that I've never seen!!!
she is really good and youll learn how to "THINK EXPONENTIALLY" great lectures on how to think exponentially she has a great business background so if you are majoring in business this is the best teacher for college algebra she even helps on the weekends at a library
Great professor! Gives plenty of ways to get extra points. Will try to scare you away in the beginning though. Just stick it out. At the end i got a B and i highly recommend her to anyone. Just attend the classes and do your homework on time!
RUDE,NO CLASS AND NOT CLEAR.I HIGHLY DO NOT ADVISE YOU TO TAKE HER.HAS BEEN TEACHING FOR 21 YRS,YET SHES UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS SUBJ DOES NOT COME EASY TO PEOPLE.LESSON PLANS ARE NOT CLEAR,HAS OUTBURST DURING CLASS TIME IF YOUR LATE,DO NOT TURN IN HW,OR DONT UNDERSTAND HER AND THE LESSON.VERY FRUSTRATING CLASS.
Best teacher i have ever had! I really liked her because she is very passionate about what she teaches and makes sure you understand everything. She is always giving you lectures about life lol. She also uses her free time to help her students on the weekend and buys everyone coffee at borders. I wish there were more teachers like her.
she is a great teacher, will go out of her way to help you pass her class. but she has no people skills what so ever, after teaching for 21 years you would think her people skills would have been mastered by now...sad!
professor graph is the best, she does have an accent but you'll get use to it. she is clear on her test and assignments. trust me she is the easiest math teacher god could give to valencia trust me I suck in math. if you dont take her dont take Willaim ASH he sucks!
Mrs. Graff is a great professor. I've done pretty bad in math since pre-algebra and she's shown me so much in the few months I've been in her class. Some people think she's rude, but if you're not easily offended and know how to take constructive criticism, you'll be just fine. I reccommend her to all my friends.
PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEE DO NOT TAKE HER FOR HONORS. MANY STUDENTS DROPPED OUT AND THEY HAD GOOD GRADES...TAKE MY WARNING PLEASE. WORST TEACHER EVER IN MY LIFE AND I AM AN A STUDENT. I HAVE HAD HARD TEACHERS WHO I THOUGHT WERE BAD BUT, I STILL COULD STUDY ON MY OWN AND GET A. THIS TEACHER!! OH PLEASE...DON'T TAKE HER. TAKE STATS IN REGULAR SESSION, NOT
I personally like her. She is a tough teacher but you just have to learn her. If you can take constructive criticism then DO NOT TAKE HER. SHE is very passionate. SHE goes out of her way to make sure you understand MATH. She tries to give you a better view on MATH. IF you r not doin good in her class she will go OVER and BEYOND to help you PASS!!!
She has good intentions but she is extremely difficult and not approachable at all! I took her Honors Stats class and ended up dropping out because her class is so demanding! I had a perfect 4.0 before her class! DONT take her honors stats! It was a nightmare of a class. Her expectations are very unrealistic especially if u work! TONS of homework!!
I hate math. I suck at math. She is tough, but believe me I learned something in her class. I got a B! I personally liked her class and would taker her again.
She is a great teacher if you don't really understand math. she always breaks apart the chaper into 4 sections, which makes it so easy! to some people the class is hard but its really not because she is always there for help, just call her on her cell and she will meet up with you for help. Take her if your not good in math!
dont mess with her. i hate math, but i honeslty learned alot from her.i read the comments other posted and was worried about what to expect. shes tough, but means well. good teacher. just be willing as she is.
Very difficult class. There is a huge project that takes the whole class to finish. Tests are pretty difficult but managable if you study. She not only teaches you statistics but also about life. SHe really wants you to be sucessful. If you put in effort than she will help you out.
I hate math, and I'm terrible at it. This is the only math theacher in which I ever learned anything! She is very tough but believe me you will learn, she helps alot and teaches you about life. I got a B! Would definetly take her again.
You will learn the material! She makes sure of it. You must keep up. Do not let her first impression scare you off. She is a great teacher.
sHE IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER. sHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS. sHE GOES OUT HER WAY TO HELP YOU SUCCEED, EVEN IF IT INCLUDES GOING AND MEET UP AT STARBUCKS. AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER SHE DROPS THE LOWEST GRADES. JUST DO EVERYTHING SHE ASKS AND YOU GOOD. I ENDED UP WITH AN "A+" SHE JUST WANTS TO SEE YOU TRY. iF YOU ARE LAZY THEN DROP THIS CLASS.
BEST TEACHER! TAKE HER IF YOU SUCK AT MATH. I GOT A B ON ONLY ONE TEST FAIL THE REST AND GOT AN UNEXPLAINABLE FINAL GRADE ''B'' YAY. DO ALL THE EXTRA CREDIT. SHE IS VERY AWSOME TAKE HER AND YOULL GET AN EASY ''A'' IF YOU CAMP IN THE MATH CENTER.LOL SHELL GIVE YOU CHANCES IF SHE SEES YOUR TRY.
Despite of what you?ve read or heard about professor Graff, I?m here to tell you the real deal about her character and the way she teaches MAT 24. First of all, she is caring, passionate, and an outstanding professor that expects you to do the best quality work that you can; with constant assistance if needed. Summer class 2009, we call her teachin
For this math you want a professor who see greatness in you and also believe in you. Being a college student isn?t easy so if you need a professor who will motivate you, which however IS Professor Graff.If you read this knowing anything about Professor Graff,KNOW that she is the BEST! From: Sylvia
I love Ms.Graff and I would recommend her to anyone.She was tough but in a good way and pushed us very hard.We are proud to say that more then half the class passed the state test on the first try.
great teacher and a joy to be around
Horrible teacher!I took her class for honors and I couldnt withdraw because of my scholarship.I was a 4.0 student until I took her class. She is not clear on the material. She assumes we already know statistics. The group project is vague and she babbles on about CEOs and readings from the Art of War?? Unnecessary stuff not pertaining to stats.
Take her for any class BUT Stats. Statistics is her "thing" so she would make you work you ass off. Only 3 people passed the first test and a third of the class passed the second one. However, she is extremely accesible and helpful. I would only recommend her if you're good in math.
I would not recommend Ms. Graff. Math is my favorite subject but now im starting to hate it. I can't stand the way she teaches. She needs to give more examples & go over everything not what she feels like. She also gives WAY toooo much homework. Most of which she dosen't go over. UUUGGGHHH!!!!!
Prof. Graff is kool--she's willing to work with you to an EXTENET. As long as she sees that you're making a genuine attempt to do ASSIGNMENTS/LAB, and you're attending class I know she'll give you a pasing grade. EFFORT is the key word!!
I dont like how Prof. Graff teaches...she makes things confusing and assigns A LOT of HW. Her class is hard and she speaks so fast. I don't recommend taking this class at all.
Prof. Graff is wonderful. She is very helpful and caring. She is always available even during the weekend! It's a lot of work but you will learn something. I have.
The Professor knows the material but does not know how to teach it. I went to class for attendance but I had to get help from tutoring or the math lab because the material learned in class was minimum. The Professor should grade exams in private not in class while we're taking the test, it causes too many distractions.
Prof Graff is great. I have never seen a teacher who cares about her students as much as she does. She pushes her students to learn the material and as long as you make an attempt to learn she will do whatever it takes to help you learn it. I care about what I learn here so I will definitely take her classes again.
1033C: Look, if u suk in math, d0nt blame HER (lol)! She's a great teacher, she really cares whether or not u pass. I suk in math and managed to maintain a C (thank gosh). So if you commit to TRYING, you'll survive.
ONE OF THE WORST TEACHERS AT VALENCIA. HER CLASS IS REALLY BORING, SHE GIVES A LOT OF HOMEWORK. HER TESTS ARE HARD, SHE EXPLAINS THINGS POORLY. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS, THERE ARE BETTER MATH TEACHERS AT VALENCIA. SHE ALSO SEEMS CRAZY.
SHE IS AN AWESOME TEACHER. SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND SOMETHING SHE WILL DRILL YOU UNTIL YOU GET IT. IT IS A LOT OF BOOK WORK AND LABS BUT IF YOU PUT THE TIME IN YOU WILL PASS. SHE WILL HELP YOU PASS IF YOUR FAILING GIVING YOU EXTRA TIME ON LABS AND HOMEWORK. I URGE YOU TO TAKE HER. SHE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent Professor!!! Very Black and White when it comes to coursework and exams. Very helpful, loads of extra credit opportunities and out of class study sessions. I would recommend her to anyone that needed to take Statistics.
If you have to take her honors class, don't! Take her regular, STAY AWAY if you want the honors credit! She is very helpful but she teaches her honors class as if we know everything! She gives out the same exam for her regular and honors class and our honors class if failing and her regular is all A's! That says something about her teaching!
Take her class...i am the worst at math...she brought the best out of me...I learned and am still learning and understanding concepts i never understood before...She is the type of teacher that wants to see her students succeed and will go above and beyond for her students...she is great...Two thumbs up...you will pass if you want to
TAKE HER! She is awesome. I suck at algebra, but totally understand Stats. she gives plenty of chances for extra credit and has study groups with her every weekend. She does teach things in class a little fast,but do the homework and you will be fine. She will give you a practice test at her study groups prior to test week.
This Professor is very good, but i must say you need to study with her, other wise you will fail it, she wants you to pass, ask questions and take good notes.
Ms. Graff is amazing! She truly wants her students to succeed. She is super helpful, super clear, has study groups all of the time and lets you call her personal cell if you are having trouble. I took it over the 6wk summer session. I was really stressed because of the brevity of the course but was still able to get a good grade.
First of, statistics is not an easy class. out of the 45 enrolled, I think our class ended with about 12 people. However you do have one of the greatest resource at Valencia in proffesor graff. If you put in the effort, she won't let you fail. Out of all the classes at valencia, this one has a real college feel to it
Listen to Professor Graff, follow her methods. Put forth effort. Do the worksheets, book report, homework. Easy extra credit and help a lot on tests. Statistics is not easy, so don't slack off. However, if you follow her direction, you can get an A.
If you want to improve your math skill, MUST take her class. The class may be a bit noisy, but her lectures are very clear and helpful. However, don't take this class if you're LAZY! If you work hard enough, you'll get a lot from her class.
Mrs.Graff is amazing and you are very lucky if you chose her class.
Professor Graff is an awesome teacher. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any math course. If your student who need to take 0028c then I suggest you take this class. Yes there a lot work to it. However, you be happy at the end of the road, once you pass the state exam and the math department exam. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!!!!!
I learned a lot in this class besides STATS. She truely wants her students to succeed and this class has changed me. I actually changed my major to Math! She makes everything clear, if you listen to her in class, study the notes, and do extra credits work, you will get an A! You can get max 12 points on every test isn't that awesome?
I learned Statistics extremely well from Professor Graff. I found her an incredible professor and thoroughly enjoyed the class. I'd recommend her to anyone.
This Professor is awesome! You do have to study very hard for her exams but she is willing to help you in every way. She can meet you up in Starbucks during the weekend and have study groups with you and other students. She was amazing I passed the class with an A. The homework is not mandatory but if you do all the homework throughout the course you may drop one test score and replace it with a 100% which is what I did. You have a chance of doing extra credit for every exam the max is 12 points
OMG!!! Professor Graff is an amazing professor. She will go to the end of the world for you to understand her concepts. She always have a study group, she will always answer you question by txt msg, or email. She will sit with you and have a one on one section and spend hour with. This professor, in my opinion, is by far the best professor.
Not very helpful at all. Very hard!!!!
Sometimes she doesn't really teach. She just talks about life a lot. Although it's interesting. Her teaching isn't bad. The lab is the most annoying thing ever. The hw is easy. It's A LOT but you can honestly BS it and she won't know. No quizzes. The test is half multiple choice and short answer
I love Pro. Graff! She's amazing! She isn't always the easiest to understand but she repeats herself to make sure that you got it. Also she comes up with these crazy ways to help you remember things. Best professor for math! If you wanna actually pass take her! She will make sure you pass! Trust me. But you have to show her that you actually care. If you do that trust she will go above and beyond.
I LOVE Pro. Graff!! She is amazing!! She makes your experience in any math class amazing! She listens to you and if you help meet her half way she will help you! BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!
MATH is my worst subject and I got an A. I got a B minus in college algebra so when I say professor Graff is a spectacular teacher, I mean it. Listen and understand what she says. She doesn't play tricks.STATS IS TOUGH. Go to class and practice with her after. She wants you to do good and she is easily one of the best teachers I've had in college.
I hate her class with a passion. A LOT OF HOMEWORK. TEST ARE NOT MULTIPLE CHOICE. Don't let the rating fool you!
Professor Graff is the most extraordinary professor in all of Valencia College. I have never seen a professor so involved not only in the students positive development in the course but also in their lives. Professor Graff sincerely cares about her students like no other professor. TAKE HER YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!
I enjoyed her class very much. There is a lot to keep up with such at textbook homework, mymathlab homework, and studying. Homework is collected on the same day every week and you have a test on the same day every week. Super involved with her class (Starbucks study meetings, smartphone group for her classes). You have to earn your grade! Take her!
Professor Graff is very helpful. Easy subject as long as you know how to properly work a graphing calculator. 3 tests and a final. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Definitely enjoyed this semester
Professor Graff mirrors your effort. She is a compassionate professor with the true desire for her students to excel. I am horrid at math but she and the SL Leader are available after hours with students. She goes out of her way with smart phone chats to ensure your questions are always answered. A great human and natural teacher.
The best professor I had this semester. My first semester in college and Mrs. Graff made it quite enjoyable. Very clear on what needs to be done, helps, very laid back and always happy.
I LOVE PROFESSOR GRAFF. She is the best, and that's no lie! She is always there for you if you need help.
Tough Class. Interesting but tough. Requires a lot of studying and a lot of homework material. Not a class for those with busy schedules. Tests are easy for the most part. Easy class if you put the work in. Only con is the amount of course work. Majority of class received an A.
I took this class over the summer best decision ever. She is clear and concise. Her notes are perfect. They mirror the tests. She also gives extensive homework but it helps. Most importantly, she develops your critical thinking and common sense. She gives oodles of extra credit.
Only 3 Tests some extra credit. Biggest issue with professor was her lack of respect for students. She says if you get below a certain grade you''re just stupid and should drop out. Not encouraging at all. Basically considers herself the goddess of stats. Have a thick skin study your butt off and you''ll pass- hopefully.
Worst Professor ever!. Please do not take her, the only students that got A's in her class were the one's taking her class for a second time, It's hard to understand her due to her accent and students are intimidated by her. She's really rude, but offers an immense amount of extra credit and tries to tutor students everyday.
She is always physically there for you, but when you go to get tutoring she always seems distracted or too busy with her IPad. She spends more time lecturing about the fact that people are stupid bc they are not analytical thinkers than she does actually teaching the course. All this class did for me is bring my GPA down and give me A LOT of work.
Ms. Graff is a wonderful teacher! This is probably one of the best classes I've taken at valencia. She is very clear in her instructions, so you know what is exactly on the test. If you get an A on all 3 tests, you don't have to take the final. She does lecture a lot, just enjoy them and don't take them too seriously. She is very entertaining!
Proff. Graff Is an amazing teacher, my class started with 30 people and ended up with 10 all getting A's and B's. You are in college, if you aren't up to the work you won't pass in any class. She's tough because she gives you a different way of thinking and she's very lenient with homework and tests + loads of EC! not bad accent. Shes insperational
Hated this professor. She is extremely arrogant!!! Literally tells her student that half the class is going to fail no matter what. Her attitude is atrocious and not helpful. Plus your grade is only based on 3 test and they are VERY difficult. She doesn't even give partial credit. Worst professor I have ever had....
I took Graff for Statistics 2023. She was an excellent professor, she knows everything about the topic. She relates the material to experiences that you may encounter. She comes off as rude but that's just her personality. Do all of your homework! They replace your worst test grade. She gives up to 14 extra credit points per test. So take advantage
Easy a
Professor Graff is very supportive education wise and personal wise. she keeps a close connect with all students. if your not good with math DO NOT TAKE HER she is very advanced
This was the worst class i have ever had. Never had to withraw any class in my life but this class was ridiculous. She doesn't explain anything in the class but expects you to know everything. Just avoid her class.
STA 2023 is not an easy course, but Mrs. Graff makes it interesting . She brings cool examples from life. She is very smart. At the beginning you might think that her class is too tough... You just have to study. Do homework! Take notes! It helps a lot. You can get A for sure. Just weak students are afraid to take her. I enjoyed the course.
Great teacher - definitely will take again
EASIEST A I have ever gotten all through out college! TAKE HER. Kind spirited and very self driven. Favorite teacher at Valencia!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. In a less than a 2hr long class the actual Statistics content is 30 minutes, she spends the other 1 1/2 rambling about life lessons then complains that the reason you can't pass tests is b/c your thinking, not her teaching. HORRIBLE. She needs to teach SLS not statistics. Wish the 30 mins she focuses was longer.
BUY THE TEXTBOOK AND ONLY THE TEXTBOOK WHEN TAKING HER CLASS. I purchased MyStatLab and it used different formats for certain tables than she does, I ended up with a C on the first test because of this, it could've been an A. She also gives long-lectures on how to be an analytical thinker that wastes valuable time for her to teach Statistics.
She is amazing. The best professor I ever had. I am not good with mathematics and I got an A, not because it was easy, but because she is an EXCELLENT professor!! The best math professor!!
How can you not pass this class?. Prof Graff give you worksheets to do and the questions on the worksheet is the exact questions on the test. She literally GIVES you the test before the test and give tons and tons of extra credit. She even go out of her way to help you study at panera and even set up the line app to help you
Professor Graff is an amazon professor. You do have to work for out your grade but she gives many ways to get extra credit. She is available out of class and really tries to help you pass. She is very clear in the way she teaches but it's a lot of homework and lab work. It's not an easy A but it's an achievable grade if you are willing to work.
The ones who complain about this class are just plain lazy because she helps you with everything. Homework is a bit too much but all of the answers is on mathlab, for labs once you get a 75 or higher i think, she gives you 100% and she tells you what is going to be on the test plus gives plenty extra credit which is about 15 pt every test. EASY A
By far the easiest class that I have ever taken
Stats is hard but Ms Graff helped in every way she could. Homework is extra credit for the tests and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. She will do anything she can to help you pass, even meeting up with you outside of school. She is tough and scared me at first, but I wouldn't have passed with any other teacher.
Awesome math professor! In every lecture, she gives you the notes you need to complete the homework and is very thorough. Lots of homework problems though. Must be written by hand. Tests are harder than the homework, but if you practiced the homework problems, you will be fine. She cares a lot about her students and want you to try your best :)
SHE IS SIMPLY THE BEST PROFESSOR. At the beginning you will fell lost, but she teaches step by step and you will learn so easily. YOU WILL REALLY LEARN
At the beginning of the semester, I thought of dropping out of her class. However, I did not and that was one of the best decisions I have made. She likes to make sure that students comprehend the material. She's not easy when it comes down to giving away answers, she's better at making students find the answers. I highly recommend her. :)
Great professor. She takes time out of her day to help with study halls and she cares that you actually learn and understand stats. She is very nice and very funny! She connects her class to real like situation which just makes it that much more interesting. Tough class but she makes it fun and interesting.
Grade is based solely on tests and project (for honors), so it forces you to understand the material. Not time-consuming. Graff is intimidating at first, but hilarious, knowledgeable and always available to clarify. She has a unique teaching method that helps you to remember and understand information. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
Shes caring and all but if you're not good at math don't take her class. She teaches differently and is more advanced she told me to basically withdraw from the course since I wasn't understanding her way of teaching. She expects you to already know everything and move on to the next lesson after a week, also too much homework.
Her class is basically about passing the test. Homework is optional, but it helps if you won't do well on the test. Extra credit is available, so use it. And she talks a lot about herself and personal life. Personally, this is a self taught class. Study and use all the help you can get to grasp the concept of this course.
I have a 4.0 and am currently failing her class. Your grade is based on the three tests and the final. We only go over the lecture and do a few problems than on to the next. She does not stay on a topic and do multiple problems to ensure that everyone has the ability to complete the topic. I love math and this class has been terrible. (Statistics)
Professor Graff is not a good professor. For her, a student will understand if she/he has analytical skills, otherwise the student won't because she/he "just doesn't get it" . It's seriously terrible. For that, she doesn't take too much time explaining the class content. Even when she explains something, those 15min are sometimes incomprehensible.
This class was a HUGE struggle. Professor Graff is amazing though. This is the first time I actually learned life skills that will probably come in handy with everything that I do. She is very honest and SUPER caring. She will not help you unless you sees you work to help yourself first. Go to Study halls, Do your HW, do all extra credit.
She talks about personal life more than she teaches. does not offer any help when a person is asking. she rely too much on student help. Her accent is heavy, so you wont understand what she says, and she don't repeat herself. I am not bad at math, its actually my favorite subject but she makes me HATE it. DON'T BOTHER
Dont take it if you cant understand someone who talks really fast and doesnt help much
She means well but her teaching method isnt understandable. 3 exams, 1 project, and online/book hw replaces lowest exam grade. Get all As on exams(raw score not with extra credit) final will be waived. Literally the hardest class I took at Valencia. I strongly recommend not taking her!
She seems like a nice lady, but her teaching method is very different. If you cant handle very fast lectures, I wouldnt recommend taking her. Only give 3 test the whole semester with opportunity for extra credit but test are very different than how she teaches. Test are lots of word problems but in class she doesnt teach you that way.
Every math class at Valencia has the same homework load because its online through a website so as long as you pace yourself you should be fine. She doesnt respond to emails but she gives access to her number to contact her. Just take notes during class, its helpful!! Also, do all HW and labs, she will drop your lowest tests at end of semester.
Theres literally no way of failing this class as long as you pay attention to the lectures she gives, and attend the Student Assistant Workshops. I honestly believe towards the end of the semester, she was trying her hardest to make it ridiculously easy for us to pass with multiple opportunities for us to turn our worst test score into a 100.
Amazing Professor. I'd def recommend taking her class. You'll learn math correctly as it's hard to find a good match teacher. She's almost always available. And easy A of you work hard.
I do not recommend this class at all!! No organization at all, two assistants and one professor that makes things even harder to understand. You will learn on your own, do lots of homework in Person, have long zoom meetings every week unless you do extra work on Pearson. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!!!
I took this online and it was so helpful to have everyone on Line app to bounce questions off of as well as a TA who was *amazing*. You got extra credit towards each test from completing assignments early, so even though the material was difficult it helped me maintain an A easily. Group project at the end, but it wasn't too difficult.
Professor Graff is amazing! not sure why there's plenty of bad reviews but she will help you pass. There's also many resources and Zoom meetings you can attend in case you don't understand the material. She will take the time to help you pass her class. Take her!
"Haw are you" She was fast paced at teaching but very helpful. Statistics is just somewhat difficult and confusing at times with a lot of formulas but she showed effort in wanting to help her students pass. Final exam is open book.
Literally reads you course and test scores in front of the class. If you don't finish the hw she berates you. Literally makes you help and teach other students instead of doing that herself. If something doesn't work blames it on you and instantly has panic attack because it won't work. Forces you to download apps and share phone numbers with her.
Prof Graff is great because she has been teaching for a very long time. She is sometimes short and goes very fast so it is easy to get left behind. I am v bad at math in any capacity so I heavily relied on the tutoring center. She assigns just the right amount of hw - not too much that you're drowning, but not too little where you don't understand.
DON'T TAKE HER CLASS! You'll be paying her just to teach yourself everything, I can count on one hand how many times she's actually "taught" our class. Class size has gone from 30 students to nearly 9 by the end of the semester. She has no clear grading system so don't expect any grades to be put in until LITERALLY the last day of the semester!
Professor Graff was one of the best professors I have ever had. She will make sure that you pass her class because she actually cares. She gives homework for the subject learned that day which is not a lot and helps. If you are having trouble, she will always help if you are willing to put in the effort. I recommend everyone to take her class.
As long as you have your notes you'll be fine.
Need a graphing Cal, but the online version- $30 a yr. Test-( 2attempts), Final- 1 attempt. 100% on homework-unlimited attempts/ drop lowest test. She is available at anytime just text - a zoom call for 1-1. SUPER EASY work at your own pace, I finished the class two weeks early.
Overall not a bad class. Teacher is a bit rude and gets impatient when you are having trouble. Expects you to always have a high grade in her class. Lots of extra credit opportunities and you have to get 100% on homework. If you take the class in person attendance is MANDATORY or you lose points. The grade is mainly based off tests.
Truly the best Professor I have ever had during my college experience! I was so nervous about taking statistics, as math has always been super challenging for me but she takes her TIME with each student and is so caring! She goes above and beyond for everyone, always answers questions and responds to you so fast! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I give this rating because there was honestly no help, her announcements were never helpful. You kind of have to figure everything out on your own, granted this was an online class so could be why. We also had so much homework, felt like I was drowning in work from her class & the work is not easy.
Professor herself is nice but the course is difficult. I felt like I was drowning all summer long. I shouldn't have taken this over summer clearly. I was stressed the entire time. The app she uses for all assignments gives you unlimited tries at HW but the tests are 2 tries which helped. The final is lockdown browser style no camera.
Professor Graff is a mixed bag - her teaching style can be fast-paced, but she cares about student success. The homework and app help, but tests are challenging. Luckily, unstuckstudy was a game-changer for my study prep!
Professor Graff is beyond amazing at teaching statistics, its hard but she will work through it with you push you to your best and make sure you pass as long as you want it. Its not a lot of work and you barley used the textbook foucs on her teaching and youll get the tests and homework with 90% or higher.
BE AWARE!! Prof & TA had no clear late policy. I submitted work days before grades were due—some was graded, some wasn't. Missed an announcement I never saw. Prof ignored all my emails; TA responded days later with different info. No explanation given. Poor communication & unfair grading caused me to fail.
She's kind and understanding for outside-the-classroom problems. Gave me extensions when needed. Course material is difficult, but its also statistics so it's expected. Exams look exactly like the homework, the videos + powerpoints are awesome. Easy to get zoom tutoring. No homework late policy, but must get 90% or higher to drop worst exam.
