Horrible teacher! She assumes everyone in the class knows about Oceanography. Her tests are impossible (practically everyone failed them) and her notes are confusing and difficult to comprehend.
Do you know everything about Oceanography? Do you spend more time in the ocean than with your girlfriend? Do you really want to fail a class? If you answered yes to each of those questions, take Oceanography with this teacher! She's so freakin
Awful, not helpful at all. A lot of kids dropped out of her class.
She's the best. I hate math, but she helped me get through the class. She makes you work, but she's very clear and understandable. Susan Frandsen kicks ass!
she is the best math teacher i ever had. i understand math pretty well, but she just made me get better. if you are looking for a teacher that wants to help you in every sense of the math class, don't even consider other teacher than her. she's simply aweeeeeeeeesome.
I took this prof. for math class, and she helped me out VERY much. Her notes are clear as her voice, her exams are STRAIGHT from the notes, and her grading is fair. In Oceonography, the material is heavy and involves alot of information but this prof. teaches it well and makes you more interested!
It is the first time she teaches evr1009. Do Not take her!!!! It is very hard, she assumes the student is only taking her class.
I would tell you how boring this class was, but I'm still asleep from it.
she is a good teacher I took her for 3 classes she is nice and helpful
frandsen is awesome the material does get a bit tedious but were talking about waves lol how exiting can it be but she makes it interestingand is very understanding awesome review sheets very easy if you actually do the work were in college now kids you cant expect it to be a cakewalk just do the work and youll get an A or B i got a B plus
Her exams are straight from the notes. Do the homework, it helps understand the information- since there is so much. She tells you exactly what will be on the test and her study guides help alot. She makes it very easy for you to get an A and explains herself clearly.
The lectures get a little boring, but she is very nice and if you study you will pass.
Professor Frandsen is such an awesome teach. She makes science interestion and you actually learn in the class. You actually HAVE to study but its worth it. I used to hate science and fail it but shes so great. She is also such a sweetheart. ;-D
Awesome Teacher! I hated science and thought I would fail... but she makes it easy and interesting. And you can sweettalk her into giving you breaks or extra credit! Great for Environmental Science, Oceanography, or Math
Um..this isn't the most exciting class, but school isn't supposed to be exciting. She's not the best teacher, but far from the worst. I'm not used to copying from the chalkboard, but you have to keep up or else the notes will be gone. Tests will kick your @$$ if you don't study, hard. If you don't like studying, take another class, seriously.
YOU HAVE TO DO ALOT OF COPYING FROM POWERPOINT. TESTS ARE EASY AS LONG AS YOU STUDY, WHAT'S ON THE STUDY GUIDE. HER CLASS IS A EASY 'A'.
Class is veeeery boring. She is ignorant - thinks that stalactites and stalagmites are made out of ice, for one and I dont have room for more examples. Tests are very hard with confusing questions with many mistakes (I got an A, but still...)Oh yeah, dont worry about turning your phone off because she doesnt, and in fact uses it quite often.
Very easy teacher, although you have to take notes everyday but if u study notes u will defenitly pass this class
She is a very good teacher, very knowledgable. If you take notes (which is everyday) and study them and the study guide before the test you will do great. I definitely would recommend her.
You have to actually learn in this class. :gasp: it's your basic college level course. She spits out a bunch of information & you have to take notes and study before tests. She doesn't hand out A's but with some studying you can pass. Good review sheets before tests. Gives HW to boost grade. 1 extra credit paper.
boring
Your hand hurts at the end of the class from all the notes she has you write down....If you study a little, and do the homework then you should do good in the class. She makes it easy to learn the work, and it was interesting learning some of it
Very Boring and Hard class! Every day is the same thing... take a few pages of notes! Although she gives a study guide for the test, they are still very hard...studying is a must! Does not offer extra credit, nor drops your lowest test grade.
she is a very nice teacher . you have to write alot of notes but i dont write any notes whatever she tell us us its gonna be on the test i write it down. i only study the study guide and thats it and i do really good on the test. the test is really easy. you just have to study the study guide. i took her twice in evr and oce class. take her she i
She is very professional and will make sure you understand everything. Yes, there are a lot of notes to take. But the notes are worth it. The EVR class is a mile wide and an inch deep. So, it is important to know what the key facts and ideas are. Her notes help you from getting lost. Her only agenda is to help you understand. You can ask her anythi
i took her for environmental science. she is the sweetest teacher. never in a bad mood. her class is easy. go to class to get credit and then study the study guide everything on the SG is on the test. i totally recommend this teacher!
She is a good instructor it is the kids right out of high school that need to mature before attending the class. She is to nice to the immature students who never do there homework and complain about the test. Simple study your study guide abd you will do just fine.
Amazing Professor!!! She was patient, helpful, and made it very easy to get an A in the class. Doing the homework is minimal and easy, giving you easy points-but definitely do it. She makes things fun and upbeat. I ended the class wanting to pursue a Science major where before I would cringe at the thought. She is highly recommended!
I took her in the summer, and she makes it seem so easy. Be prepared to take plenty of notes, pay attention, and you wikk definiely pass. Do her assingments; quizzes and test are easy is you study and go to class. She gives reviews and everything she tell you to study is going to be on the test. I recommend anybody to take her.
love love love LOVE HER!!! class is powerpoint based...ur hand will fall off at the end of the semester but over all she does test reviews before every test everything thats on the reliwe is on her test.....soooo easy. i will def take her for another science class <33
Prof. Frandsen was a really good teacher. She does gives lots of notes. She gives a review handout before every test. Just make sure you study the whole review sheet and you should get an A or atleast a B on every test. She gives extra credit on some of the test. Her test are very easy if you study. They are true and false and multiple choices.
shes a good teacher, she uses the book alot so you need to attend class often and do the work wich is simple and right out of the book and you will pass!!
Professor Frandsen made it seem easy. She gave lots of homework (odd problems only answers in back) but it was worth doing It helped me pass all my tests. plus she's pretty flexible when it comes to homework if you didn't do it throughout the course you could always show her at the end. I would absolutely recommend her she's always eager to help.
This is not the best teacher, yet not the worst. She gives loads of notes. You write from the beginning of class til the end, NONE STOP! She covers tones of information on the test. It's not impossible to pass bcuz she does give homework & 1 extra credit assigment to help your grade. Just keep in mind if you can find somebody easier, do so!!!
Very nice. Wants students to succeed. Willing to help. Homework and notes help ALOT with tests!
She gives A LOT of notes. Writing from the minute class starts until the very end. she was in the NAVY so she follows the rules to the T. Very nice lady though. I did get an A but it was hard work.
You have to work in her class and you have to study, since I attend class to learn I don't mind this at all. I made an A with effort. Study guide is very helpful. She is knowledgable about her subject.
Took her for:0012&OO24.Prof.Frandsen is a wonderful math professor and wants everyone to understand the material. Gives reviews for all of her tests & the final.I failed this class before & am horrible at math, after studying etc I passed!:) A wonderful professor!!
Prof. Fransen is a great teacher! However, she does give alot of notes and homework, but it is very helpful for her tests. Her notes and HW covers everything that is going to be on the test she gives...so there are no surprises....if you got to class, take notes, and do the hw...ALL THE TIME you will pass no problem....I got an A
Gives alot of notes and alot of homework, only odd ones though. Sometimes treats you as a small child with the way she explains things, but can be good if math is not your thing. She makes alot of mistakes on her math and in her tests, but quick to fix it. If you want a fairly easy class and learn while at it, then take her.
Her only draw-back is sometimes over explaining things, but if you can't understand math in her class you might have a problem. Requires lab time and checks hmwk, usually moderate amounts though, show your work, keep yourself in check and you'll be just fine.
Her only draw-back is sometimes over explaining things, but if you can't understand math in her class you might have a problem.

Wouldn't recommend. Test are hard and all the class is entirely based on notes. Look for another
I had her for ESC1000. Extremely helpful. Do your part, and she will help you!I got an 87% average for the course and an 89% on the final! Need ESC1000? Take her!!!
If you miss a day of class you can get a little behind/lost. She goes over 2-3 sections a day. Gives a lot of homework but it helps for the tests & final. You take 3-4 tests & she gives you practice tests & goes over it the day before the test. As long as you show up & do all the homework, You will pass! I have an A in the class! She's the BEST!!!
She's the best!!!! Show up and do your part and she will help you. If you have to take MAT0012 then take her.
She's an awesome professor she teaches from her power points. Get the book your only going to need it for the homework. Her tests are straight forward and she gives out study guides before each test. There is one extra credit assignment do that it will boost your grade at the end of the semester
Very nice lady, but the material in the class is hard. Especially if you have no interest in science! She puts on powerpoints everyday and you copy everything from it (talk about a sore hand)... She only does powerpoints so if you learn using a different method such as a hands on approach, etc.. you're screwed. Easy class if you study and read!
Great teacher!! VERY helpful!
She really takes her time to explain the work. Helps you during her office hrs & sometimes comes in on her day off to prep for test/final! As long as you attend her class, don't get behind on your homework - you'll pass! She does give alot of hw but if you do it all you'll pass the test. I've taken her for my past 3 classes & got an A each time!
4 tests and the final is cumulative. be ready to take A LOT of notes. but it is very helpful because the tests are a little difficult but just take notes and review and you will be fine. overall very nice and helpful
Very interesting class! A lot of notes! She is a very nice women and offers extra credit a lot! She is very passionate about oceanography!!! Great class!!!!
I loved her! I was so stressed about taking this class because it was my third time... but she was so great! The way teaches is so clear and detailed, it makes it simple to understand. She gives great reviews for all exams. She's very nice and patient. One of the best math professors I've had :-)
Expect to take a lot of notes every time you have class. The tests are multiple choice and she does give you a review a day or two before the test. Study the notes AND the review and you are guaranteed an A. I got a B because I didn't spend a whole lot of time studying seriously. She offers an E.C paper too and her final wasn't bad
Lots of notes but all in your favor. Loved this class and loved her. Very nice lady. Study all the notes and you will do fine. I have a learning disability and I got a B.
Great Professor!!! Very helpful! Will even help you Friday mornings before the test. She takes her time to make sure everyone is getting it! Lots of homework but it works in your favor! Over all great Professor!!! Take her - you won't regret it!!! :)
shes awesome! take her. extremely helpfull and very student friendly. she gives extra credit, and practice test which helps a looot.. takee heeeer. i really mean it haha..
God placed special teachers in our lives, and professor Frandsen is definitely one of them. Professor Frandsen wants you to learn and she put all of her time and effort in making sure you understand. Thanks professor you make math 1033 a breeze.
awesome professor!!!!! took her for oceanography and taking her next semester for math!!! explains everything and lets you know EXACTLY what will be on the tests. her study guides are the exact questions from the test. she also lets you write an extra credit paper if you have less than an A at the last 2 weeks. extremely nice and helpful
Amazing, willing to help you with all of your questions.
She is so awesome. i took her for two math class and i would take more but she doesnt teach anymore "/ she makes you understand it to the t.. she is willing to help anyone that ask. she does grade homework which one helps you... so in my opinion you should take her.. Easy grade
Very nice,helpful, and accommodating. Tests are just like the reviews and will let you know what will be on the test so you can study better to receive good grades. provide extra credits, even in the final exam. she speaks very clear and has passion for oceanography.
Great teacher, explains everything very thoroughly. The grade is 80% Tests 20% HW, HW from the book. The tests are usually 50+ questions and not really easy, but she gives great review sheets and teaches well. I got an A, just show up, do your HW, and study the review before the test.
Great professor! took her for Mac1105 in the summer and I pass with B. lots of Hw and you will need the book. she does reviews for each test.
Truly one of the best teachers I have ever had!! EVER!!! She teaches math and science, love her!!!
Took her for college algebra. Such a terrible teacher. If you see her name scroll down to a different teacher! Do not pick her! She makes the class even more boring than math already is. Her tests are so hard and too much hw. I had to drop it if i didnt i would of failed the class.
Good teacher, very helpful if you choose to take advantage of it, willing to help you pass, responds quickly, i took an excellerated online class which was stressful but if you can take the heat,go for it, much better than my last teacher and cares about her students
I'm not sure what possessed me to take this class online and on top of that a 6 weeks course! She is the worst... She helps but at the times when people are working and her discussions are hard the course itself is plain hard.
Answers emails promptly. Very helpful. This is my second time taking the course online and she is a much better professor than my last one!
She is very nice, organized, helpful and provides class notes for each lecture. Easy to understand when she teaches. Answers email quickly and always takes the time to answer any and all questions. A lot of homework on web assign which is graded but helps prepare for her tests which are fair if you study. Tests based only on what she teaches or hw.
I am awful at math, but thanks to this professor I passed! Best online math professor I've had (I've taken 3 online math classes besides this one). She is super helpful and wants you to pass. 8 homework assignments with 10 questions each and 8 practice quizzes that are extra credit. Highly recommended.
She just reads out of her notes which are just chunks out of the text book. it was basically an online class that you had to show up to because you taught yourself. Messed up almost every example Problem in class, on the notes and often on tests including 4 questions on the final.
I have always really liked math and she ruined it for me. Awful lectures and she was all over the place. Do you yourself a favor and do not take her class. It's demotivating and will make your future in math so much harder because you will leave a much weaker math student. forget asking a question in class.
I took the accelerated class and it was a lot of work . This class has to be taken alone and you have to pay attention to it and to deadlines . She is very helpful and is there for you . She does absolutely everything she can to ensure you pass. Honestly if you fail it's on you .
If you are going to be lazy about this class, you will fail. This professor was very professional and very helpful. Willing to help you pass this class. She made the class very enjoyable and very insightful. Will answer your questions in the blink of an eye. If you are willing to work hard, you should have no problem passing this class.
Absolutely wonderful! Professor Frandsen is a very understanding and compassionate instructor who has high regard for her students. She's one of the greatest math professors that I've taken and would gladly take her again. If you're taking her class, take her.
Trips up over her lectures a bit, and sometimes copies things wrong, not a huge deal but I can see how for someone who is not good at math could become a serious issue. She is also a bit slow to respond to emails and her lectures are pre-worked out problems which gets old quick. But she is not tough, and she makes a huge effort to prep for tests.
It was calculus so you know it was hard but she made it somewhat easier. She makes a bunch of mistakes on some of her materials(like tests and study guides) so that's not cool. Otherwise a knowledgeable and nice teacher.
This is the best online math class I have taken. She is a very understanding teacher and cares about you as a person. She responds to emails daily and her virtual classroom lectures are awesome. To pass this class you must turn in all assignments and discussions on time and study for the tests. She does not use Aleks which is a relief. Take her!
Either statistics is super easy or she's just a great teacher. Math is the worse for me and I have managed to get 100% on all of her tests. She really makes sure that the class is understanding the material, and explains it pretty well. She's also very organized and gives extra credit! Doesn't take herself to seriously, has a sense of humor. Great!
She is the best math teacher. She is so nice & caring. She makes mistakes, but shes human. Gave the class extra credit to bring our grades up an entire letter. The reviews prepare us properly for the test. You don't have to go to class because the online hw (mystatlab) has lesson videos, but it's definitely good to attend. She really helped us all
As hard as I heard this class is, she made it so much easier. I thought I was bad at Math until I took her class, now I actually Love Math. She makes everything so easy to understand, gives lots of chances, and is always there to help you, through virtual classroom, and study sessions. she stays after class and always makes herself available. TAKE!
I took her for MAC1033 online, 6 weeks in summer. She is super organized and is crystal clear as to what is due when, how it is graded, how it counts in your final grade, etc. She sends out reminders all the time so you never forget what is due. She did a review before every test and before the final exam, online, via blackboard. TAKE HER CLASS!
She is so caring, for a 6 week online course, she does a review before each quiz and test so take advantage. Shes just a simple, nice instructor women who will go out of her way to help kids. Take her, rate my professor doesn't lie, when it says 100 percent, its really a fact how much of a good teacher she is. If not she'd have 50%.
Honestly, her class is easy, shes very nice not mean and is caring will go out of her way to help kids. The only bad thing about her is her quizzes have a couple mistakes on them so be aware of that and let her know even her practice quizzes which gives you extra credit toward your final if you get a 100. Email communication is fair with her too.
I took her online class and she didn't explain things properly and when asked questions she replied short. I had missed an exam because my child was sick i asked to make it up she told me no and i was 1 point from getting a C and she gave me a D and failed me in the class. I had asked for make up work to help my grade but no reply from her
I am bad at math, like I couldn't pass a math class to save my life bad. She has made this class easy and very clear. I took the accelerated online class and you really have to be on top of what you're doing. Reviews everything before every test and encourages you to practice. I would take her again as i actually understand what im doing.
I'm more of an algebra person but she made the harder things easier for us. I took her half online half in class and she was pretty good. The tests are pretty simple considering the fact she legit takes time the class before to review. I recommend her to anyone taking a math class and is just coming into college.
Prof. Frandsen literally changed my outlook on the topic of math. She made me love math and inspired me to strive and achieve my dreams. She is amazing and the best at BC. I took her for Trig and Pre-cal in the 8 week courses and got an A in both. Yes this is a tedius topic but its easy when you take her. Highly recome
Professor Frandsen is phenomenal. I had the pleasure of taking her online for MAT1033 and MAC 1105. She provides detailed reviews to assure students are able to understand the problems for each Unit. She communicates effectively and promptly to all emails. I would highly recommend her for math for students who struggle in math.
Professor Frandsen was a fantastic professor. She made review videos for the tests and was available for a one-on-one review when I needed it. When I got a poor grade on a quiz, she went over my mistakes with me and then let me retake it! She also uses Knewton, which is an AI software that gives you more or less work depending on how you're doing.
Well I took her for EVR1001 ,I dont think she teaches that class anymore but if you see her name anywhere on any subject please take her your not helping yourself out your helping me out for me knowing your in good hands .#facts
I withdrew from this class. Literally went from an A to a C with a matter of seconds. Tests are graded the highest so homework points wont help. If youre really good at math I recommend if not I dont. No extra credit provided. Good luck. :)
Great professor. Lots of homework but it definitely helps with the tests. Very caring and provides study guides for all tests including the final.
This class is not the hardest but definitely not an easy A, I did all assignments and received a B(89.19) wish she would have brought that to an A but whatever. Still a solid choice for an online course.
So i had professor frandsen for 1033 and 1105 online and it was hard, not going to lie but i worked for it. i have not taken math in over ten years, i got a tutor, met with professor online for one on one tutor, went to math lab, and overall got high B's in both class. i'll never forget how helpful and caring she was, she's a gem! i learned a lot
I had quite a lot of issues with this prof. Starting with she responded to emails only after a week and multiple emails sent. Emails themselves where not clear. I made a time to meet with her and she never showed I stayed on for a hour and a half waiting. I also sent an email and instant message, with no response.
3 units 1-4 5-7 8-9 Every section has a Quiz each unit has a test (3 ) test are not difficult, follow the knewton work Final Exam is multiple choice 27 questions (easy) Teacher responds back in timely manner, she also very nice, she will reopen assignments back up 2-3 just so everybody can catch up. Take her if you at least want a "B"
This class was generally pretty easy but in a shorter session there was ALOT of work. There was no pattern to when things were due and were practically everyday of the week. There were 4 assignments, 4 discussions, an easy project, 3 exams, optional final, and 18 quizzes. She seemed nice and offers some extra credit. If I had to I'd take it again
She was okay
Class is easy. But the tests are 50% of your grade. Even if you get good grades on everything, it's difficult to maintain an A. Gave a review for the final when asked a day before it was due. Chill prof
I hated the class because of the content but she was a good teacher, grades on time and responds to emails quickly. Other students and I did have a lot of issues taking tests because they were never open, seems like she's not great with technology and it effected every one of my test grades which were the only reason I had a C.
She was a very good professor. The workload wasn't anything crazy and truthfully I thought it was going to be worse. It is quite a fast-paced course, but honestly, I thought it was going to be harder. The tests are very simple and the homework isn't too bad, and I learned most of the content through myLabMath. It's not as bad as you think it is.
Please pay attention to the video reviews, she will tell you everything you need to know in the following test. Just put a little effort into each question on that review, and memorize all formulas because you will not have access to them on the final. All tests are taken on the lockdown browser with a mirror behind your chair.
