Mrs. Dr. Cawthorne is amazing! She has a very good ability to give information in a very understandable manner. She is very helpful and understanding, if you just aren't getting something. She is very nice, the comment before mine is not exaggerated. Just make sure that you do the homework she assigns, no matter how long it takes, it will pay off.

She is an amazing teacher that strives to help all students learn. If you don't understand something she will reteach it until you do. But she doesn't take to much time doing it so don't worry if you're not that student. The homework is great and actually manageable and pertinent to the lessons. She gives plenty of time to complete anything.

you could see her passion but her explanations were just not clear. I took calculus 1 the year before and she wanted me to retake. I did bc I made a 98 in my last calc class and struggled in her class and ended with a B. I would like to say I'm good at calculus but her class was terrible. never take again .....

Dr. Cawthorne is very smart and caring. If you need extra help she is willing to work with you. She is super organized. Gives TONS of homework. Every class period there are "Daily Grades" which are basically in-class assignments (you can work together on these). She also gives weekly quizzes. She is very clear on what she expects from the student.

By far my favorite professor. She is so caring, sweet, and interested in her students' well-being. There is LOTS of homework, but it helps you to understand the material a lot better. Her tests aren't bad as long as you do the work and study a lot. She is very reasonable and good at responding to emails. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Dr Cawethorne is so sweet and caring. Her classes are very difficult, but she's understanding and very willing to help if you just ask her. She deeply desires her students to succeed, and does her best to support them. She will give you a butt ton of homework, though, and you have to put in a lot of work to get a good grade.

Best Professor I have had. Had her for Calc 1 and Calc 3 and i was able to get a solid understanding of both courses and she taught us how to actually apply it. She was always willing to meet outside of class for however long necessary to help understand the concepts and was always in a mood that seemed to destress everyone else in the class.
