Expect homework after every class. She does well at explaining concepts for students who may have more trouble, but it got a little annoying when she explained the same concept 3 different ways when you got it the first time. She cushions your grade heavily and is lenient on late work. Very sweet and loved her personality

Very confused how she has such a great rating. She's organized but I had to youtube the concepts for half the semester. Also a plus, my mom put me in therapy because her class stressed me so bad! Sweet person but now I'm in a room telling a stranger my problems because I wouldn't stop crying over this class.

Nice lady, lots of homework, lots of feedback, there to help you and wants you to learn. ProctorU is a pain and yet a joke. $4.25 per three tests and a final? Why not! :) Semi-easy A. Do the practices, the quizzes, and the exams are manageable.

Professor Billimek is one of the best profs I've ever had! She explains concepts so well and is very accessible outside of class. She's always there to help you and although trig is a difficult class, she made it as easy as it could possibly be. If you're looking for a good trig teacher, highly recommend Professor B!

Watch the video examples Prof B submits!! It will help you SO much! Her feedback on the SYW assignments is super helpful. This class is work heavy, but if you keep up with it, you will pass. Make sure to ask for help when you need it! She is fantastic at getting back with you ASAP.

Professor Billimeck is an incredible math teacher. She really breaks things down so that the content make sense. Her teaching style helps anyone understand the topic. The course is tough for sure but as long as you do your work and pay attention professor Billimeck will set you up to succeed.

I had her for the summer semester of 2021. Super understanding and energetic. She gives you opportunities for growth, but it is on you to really learn. If you don't study or pay attention you will fall behind. It's not an easy class, especially if you take it in 8 weeks. Expect to work hard for your grade. Awesome professor.

Amazing at breaking down calculus for those who are not good at math classes, as long as you stay on top of your assignments you will be fine. She gives great study guides for tests, and is easily accessible if you need her. By far my favorite math teacher i've ever had!

Professor Billimek is a great professor! I am not good at math, but she devotes a lot of time to helping her students. She was a good lecturer, and a lot of things made sense. Some homework assignments, but always had an extension after every assignment.

Attendance is important. There is really no pause in between for questions in class so take advantage of her office hours if extra help is needed. HW is always due next class period and she provides reviews for the exams which are optional to do. If you can master the reviews, then you won't have any issue passing.

If you deter from her way of doing things your grade will drop. You can get the problem right, prove it with your work. The math checks out, but your grade will still drop cause you didn't dumb it down for her. My phd researcher friend looked at an assignment and literally laughed and asked why I didn't drop the class.

I loved Professor Billimek. She cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Going to class is important if you want to understand the concepts. If you do the homework and study guides, there is no way you won't pass her tests. There is a lot of homework, but it is understandable. She gives good feedback if you are doing something wrong.

Prof B is a kooky and brilliant teacher. She explains mathematic concepts very thoroughly and she made it fun sometimes with her passion for algebra. She is fast paced, so it's wise to attend class.

She is so nice to people she likes, and cruel to people she does not like. If you plan on taking her class, do not say anything, do not correct her. I noticed how nerdy guys and boys in general seemed to receive harsh grading and were even yelled at while girls in the class were treated as royalty. Maybe she has a chip on her shoulder or something.

You'll have to buy a separate web cam to take her tests if you're not taking them at campus, and there's a practice test that is going to take multiple attempts due to her impossible expectations. You have to do everything right or she'll give you a 0 on the exam. Online testers beware.

She grades so tough. No matter if the answer is correct, she counts points off if you don't do it HER way. I believe this is a horrible way to teach students for the real world because you are not allowing them to try and figure out issues in different ways. Teaching by the book and exact instructions is a bad way to teach math and very inefficient
