Very nice, great personality, but she doesn't really teach math well for me. I think a lot of students in the class are happy, but I'd prefer a set of notes with step-by-step instructions rather than just a bunch of problems that she solves out on the board.

Really helpful and clear. All of the lessons were printed handouts, so there are no worries about missing important concepts in your notes. Also the handouts were made available online, both blank and filled out. The only bad thing I can say is that there were several verbal homework changes, so I lost a few points by getting HW off the syllabus.

Super nice lady, but not great at teaching material. Flighty and forgetful. Way too much material for one term. Course grade is based mostly off of exams, which are ridiculously hard and long. Your only hope of getting a good exam score is if the material is really easy for you. She does not give enough time for exams or quizzes.

I had Stephanie for Math 60 and I really wish I'd taken a different class. She is clearly smart but I don't think she relates well to people who aren't as into numbers as she is. The tests were really hard and focused on things that we barely touched on in the complicated and confusing lectures. For non-math people, choose a different teacher.

On the first day she said degrees are dead to us. But radians, apparently never die. Yes this was calculus, but if you are off on the most complicated, insane algebraic maneuvers you've even seen, ohh and let's throw some trig into that.... Miss a negative and you could get docked 8 out of 10 points. Your algebra will be flawless when you get out.

Stephanie is a real one. I was super nervous going into this class but ended up loving it! if you are looking for a math class where you learn a lot and actually retain the information, stephanie would be the best choice. I would 100000 take her for another math class.

Stephanie is great but I must advise you do not take this class expecting a light work load. I work full time and only take one other class besides this one and this math class sent me over the edge on the regular. You HAVE to check the calendar or you WILL be surprised with MORE work when you do not have time for it. Don't hand write, print notes.

Stephanie is very organized, giving you a very clear outline of everything that needs to be done, and she goes out of her way to set you up for success and seems to genuinely enjoy teaching. This class isn't easy, but she challenges you in a way that only benefits you and is more than willing to help you if something doesn't make sense for you.

Professor Yurasits is AMAZING. I took her for MTH 95 (A- received) last semester and probably an A this semester in MTH 105 (currently sitting at 98% but still need to take the final). I genuinely wish I could take her for every remaining math class I have (Stats 1 and 2), she is inclusive and very kind, even when I send 3am breakdown emails.

One of the best math teachers there is. She truly cares and tries to make everything as clear possible. Weekly assignment and HW through ALEKS. This class was hybrid so it was nice to have both videos to learn from and in person lecture. She's always willing to help and VERY organzied!

She really seems to care about her students. She calls herself strict but she's more than willing to give extensions if you talk to her before the deadline. In my class at least, she gave out quite a few extra credit opportunities. I think it totaled to a possible 25% of the final in the end so great for those who struggle on tests.

Stephanie is a very caring person, I really liked how she connects with each individual student! The only thing I would say that would be a downfall of her MTH 95 class is the amount of outside class work. Overall she explains lessons thoroughly and is very helpful!

Stephanie really loves what she does & wants her students to succeed. There's a lot of coursework, it takes time to grasp the concepts but there are plenty of videos that help and Stephanie was really patient and always quick to respond to any questions. She prepares you well for the exams, & provides some extra credit opportunities. Loved her!

Ms. Yurasits was very helpful and involved in the class. She responded to emails quickly, answered questions well, and was very understanding of her student's time. She used MyOpenMath for homework, which was easy to understand, a free online textbook, and the workload was reasonable.

Is very nice. Homework and notes are from the online textbook. There's both a homework worksheet and online homework but they're not too bad, just stay on track and communicate with her. Midterm and Final are all based on the materials and units taught.

The lectures seem long but there is a lot of good and helpful information in them. If you take her class be prepared to print a lot of notes and worksheets or you can use an iPad. Very clear grader and was very helpful when I needed. I would take her class again if needed.

Professor Yurasits is one of the most easily likable people I have ever met. The workload is light and her expectations are very reasonable. She gives ample due date reminders, always gives clear feedback, and allows you to correct mistakes on assignments before the due date. She offers a ton of extra credit for simply turning assignments in early.

Stephanie is one of the best college instructors I have had. The level of commitment to the courses she teaches and to her students is truly unique. And her passion for math is contagious. I went into this course mildly terrified. And I am leaving having truly loved it. How did she do that?! She did it by always being available, always caring.

Stephanie is a delight -- definitely not what I was expecting from a Mathematics Instructor. The class itself provides lots of relevant mathematics that we see in our everyday lives. Its a pretty hefty workload, but she provides the tools to be organized and manage your time effectively. Highly recommend if you think you don't like math.
