She is a very good teacher, will explain everything thoroughly. Easy tests and quizzes.

AAAAWESOME TEACHER.. SHE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING VERY CLEARLY AND GOES OVER ALL THE HOMEWORKS AND ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAD TO MAKE SURE YOU UNSERSTOOD THE MATERIAL. I THOUGHT SHE WAS VERY NICE AND SUPER HELPFUL. I FOUND THE CLASS TO BE CHALLENGING BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE.. I RECCOMEND HER TO ANYONE.

SHE IS VERY PROFFESIONAL. THE COURSE IS NOT THE EASIEST SO EXPECT TO DO SOME WORK. VERY ORGANIZED. IF YOU DO THE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS THAT SHE ASSIGNS YOU WILL BE PREPARED FOR THE QUIZEZ. SHE ALLOCATES TIME IN EACH CLASS TO EXPLAIN ANY HOMEWORK YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO GIVE TIME

Cool lady, but her class is really tough. Try to get a copy of a set of student notes she offers at the beginning of the semester because it saves you the effort of writing notes yourself (she writes really fast!). Do all HW, try not to miss a quiz. Warning: tests are way harder than HW and quizzes.

Very good professor that knows how to speak English! She does goe a little too fast and her notes are very long, and she does lots of quizes. All this is done so we can do better on the exams. Overall a very good prof.

Teaches too quickly!! Half of the class usually drops(just read other students comments). Quizzes and Test are HARD!! Had to take the class twice with her to pass with B-. The only thing good is that she does spend time going over the HW and she is willing to help during her Office Hrs. Just beware and good luck!! you are going to need it.

Excellent professor! The class is very challenging; don't expect any less. It is incredibly well structured, and she does an awesome job of presenting the information. She is very willing to help you, and her grading policies are the most fair I have ev

Prof Gorman was awesome. This is a difficult class for most, and she made it challenging but was always willing to help.

Very good teacher, class is structured well. If you are a math major you will enjoy this class. If you are a comp science major you will probably not. This class is challenging but fun and interesting. I like the class and the teacher. I got an A the first time through.

Excellent class! You truly learn a great deal. Expect to work hard, but the time and effort is very worthwhile.

She went very fast when teaching the material. If you don't think you can keep up, I don't suggest you take her class.

WOW! I love this class, she is extremely helpful. She expains everything so clear, but dont expect to pass the class if you dont do the homework. Quizzes are exaclty from the homework. And if you understand what you are doing you are going to do great on the tests....

She explains everything well, but you must do the homework to even think about doing well. The tests are extremely hard, especially the final. The quizzes are alright depending on the topic that week.

Very good teacher. She explains everything thoroughly and has very good use of class time. Her class is hard but if you do your part you will be fine. If you don't study you will not pass.

very helpful, answers homework question. her class is not an easy A you have to STUDY for her test but overall she's a great teacher

Not an easy class, but she knows her math. She goes fast, so pay attention. You MUST do the hw, and you MUST study - this was my 1st class that I did any hardcore studying.

I learned a great deal from her back in the 90's. The whiners and naysayers have no concept of the focus and dedication it takes to succeed in a challenging math course. No baby stuff here. It's the real deal!

She is a good teacher. I learned a lot in her course (Discrete Math). The course is hard for the majority of students, but it is really a very easy course if compared with math courses in elite universities. Those that say this course is hard have no idea about what hard means. It's true that the exams where much more difficult than the quizzes.

the class is worth taking online to avoid driving long distances, but she has 3 exams and if u fail one the final exam counts as double,,the material is a lot of work if u fall behind forget about catching up w/ the assingments//class is ok if u like independent work

Well experienced and skilled mathemitician! She is a drill sargent and the class is boot camp. You will hate life during the semester but she makes you a lean mean discrete math machine!

Course moves at a fast pace. Lot of homework. Gives you all the notes for course, and audio recordings of lectures.Very fair grading policy. Material is above average difficulty, but a lot of fun.

Not an easy class, but very passable. Tests are difficult but you can correct them for extra points. Weekly quizzes based on HW that really can boost grade as long as you put some effort and do well on them. They are very easy if you just study a little bit (unlike the tests). Look I suck at math big time and passed this class so u should pass t00.

Dr. Gorman is the best math teacher I've ever had. There is a weekly quiz that keeps you on your toes, she always asks if there are questions, even answers e-mails, posts reviews for the big exams online from the first day onward, and is overall a really awesome woman. I have always struggled in math classes, and am not struggling at all in this c

This is a hard class with a lot of material to study. The professor goes fast but she doesn't have other choice if she wants to follow the syllabus. If you want to have a good grade, do all the assigments on time. The material is very interesting and usefull. The tests aren't so hard but you have to study like crazy. Do not procrastinate. Good luck

Online class. Watch the videos, do the homework, easy A.

Took this class online, very difficult: expect to work for your grade. Her lectures may not be interesting, but she clearly and comprehensively explains the material. The tests are tough but fair, similar to what you see in her reviews, homework, and lectures. She doesn't make it easy, but she tells you what you need to know if you pay attention.

On the first quiz I got a 4 out of 12 on the 1st exam I got a 31 she is very tough. 1st exam was similar to the study guide 2nd exam half of the study guide was similar to the test the rest was from the book even problems so far I am failing.

She knows her stuff, she wants you to pass and know the material. If you do the homework (not mandatory) you'll be fine. Her tests are incredibly easy (if you know the material or have some concept of it).

Great professor. Highly recommended. She's clear, knows her stuff and is always helpful. Homework and attendance are not mandatory. She gives weekly quizzes and drops about 4 or 5 of the lowest ones, 3 exams which she lets you do corrections on to help your score and the final takes the grade of your lowest exam. I took her for Discrete and Calc I.

Took her for discrete math her classes is extremely easy, you can't fail it unless you never do the none mandatory homework, she even gives you supplement problems. Her final replaces the lowest test grade you have earned. Highly suggest you take this course.

Took discrete math with her online. I took notes and studied exclusively from them. The homework was medium in difficulty but her exams were super tough. She's a fair grader and I learned a lot from her class. Personality wise, she's the no nonsense kind, but friendly enough. Not an easy class, but at least she knows how to teach the material.

Took Discrete math with her. There are a lot of proofs, but its a great introductory course for them. She gives quizzes every week from the hw (not collected). She only takes the top 8 quizzes. Gives supplementary problems, with solutions, and reviews for the exams.

She is awesome! I've had plenty of math teachers before, but she is by far the best! Her teaching style is geared towards making you learn the material, while also making it as easy as possible to score a good grade. I recommend her 1000%!

She is not nearly as difficult as people think. Her quizzes are literally problems from the homework and she drops your 4-6 lowest. Her exams are challenging and you do need to actually understand the material. Very helpful but is a little coarse when asked simple questions.

Class is NOT EASY, Dr Gorman knows the material very well and knows how to explain, TAKE NOTES AND READ THEM! exams come from what she taught in the class not the book! VERY HELPFUL class for Comp Eng majors, I got a D, then retook and got A-, if you think you "kind of" understand the material you WILL get an F, don't take it lightly and will get A

This class is HARD! Prof. Gorman does what she can to help you pass and if you decide not to take advantage of the opportunities she gives you then it's your fault you don't pass. Her grading is very fair and gives you plenty of resources to study from. I do recommend this professor but you have to realize that this is not an easy class so study!

Her class is built for you to succeed. An A is attainable as long as you follow the book with the course lessons and do the homework in a timely manner. She wants her students to pass.

Took this class online, NOT recommended. Got a B but studied like crazy. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hated my life during this class. Dr Gorman does answer emails quickly and is usually willing to help. Also does curve somewhat on exams. Just DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS LIGHTLY

This is a challenging class. It should be a 5 credit course. The professor explains well, but you have to put a lot of time in doing homework. First two exams are tough and the final is not easy either. If you don't have a 2 or 3 hrs a week minimum to put in, don't take the class. Online students don't have weekly quizzes that can help your grade.

Discrete Math is hard. She gives you lots of chances to pass though. She goes out of her way to help you. By the way go to the tutoring sections with Nick and you will do well on the tests.

The class is hard, but she will give you a lot of chances to pass. She will always let you do corrections on test for a bit of extra points, which could bump your grade up. Go to the tutoring section she has gone out of her way to create for you, the tutor is amazing and will prepare you for her test. The quizzes are the HW!

This prof. is way too hard , be prepare for a lot of work, quizzes every week , and test very difficult , if you didnt pass one exam dont expect to make it for the final !! the final is crazy,ridiculous.So make sure you pass the first 3 exams with a decent grade !!

I took Gorman for Discrete Math, and so I'm not skewing my review with the difficulty of the course. She makes the course as easy as it has to be, offering corrections to exams, only grading 8 of 13 quizes, and has loads of tutors / office hours. The lectures are planned and well organized, and the quizes are great practice for exams.

The professor is great!If you read the book, you will not understand anything without her lectures.The course has 4 tests,on Fridays.By Monday night they are graded!She is very nice.Sometimes students asks her dumb questions, as "what is the course that I am taking?"Then she has to be a "smart". DO EVERYHTING and you'll GET A or B. IT IS HARD MATH.

Took this teacher for calculus I and was amazed by how much I learned. Take her she's great!

Good professor, the class is rough to start, but she helps you get through it. Be sure to study and attend LA hours.

Gorman is not the best person to explain something, however, she still wants you to pass. The material seems hard because you need to practice it yourself. She gives extra credit and grades fairly. I gladly take her again just because she is a no nonsense no favoritism kind of person, pure fairness.

weekly quiz (so you see how she wants you to do stuff and see if you do know the material), 3 tests (1st one is hardest and then gets easier) and a final (pro tip for final: Study previous finals if you can find one. Thats what I did and it was literally the same test I studied). To pass do what I did, Do Homework and visit the LA's, helps a lot!

This was the most difficult course I've taken at FIU. The test are difficult no matter how much I study. The final exam took me the full 3 hours to complete. I was amazed that she used the most difficult problems for the final. If you view all of the lectures, homework assignments, and exam study guides, you will pass, but it won't be easy.

Honestly the best calculus professor at fiu, very helpful (extra credit). Allows you to fix mistakes on exams and that can bump you up a full letter grade. Will recommend without a doubt!

Honestly, Susan tries her best, the subject is just very complicated. This is a class you need to put a lot of work in, go behind the scenes and study not only on your own but with the TA's and in groups. It's not that she's a bad teacher, it's just that the subject is rough wherever you go. She does give extra credit and tries her best to help.

This professor takes pints for everything btw most ppl in the back cheated on her class lol but yes very hard grader!

Here is the trick: past exams. Otherwise you are going to have a hard time

Very difficult class. Professor Gorman is a great professor and helped me out a lot. Did I have to work hard? You have no idea! She is very specific and tells you when and what to watch out for. Online class: you get her videos and 4 in-person proctored exams. She gives review sheets and supplement problems.

A lot of people think Gorman is one of the hardest professors , but she's actually an amazing professor , I took this class online and understood everything, literally anyone who tells you they are failing are honestly lazy and don't care about learning discrete . The LA's are also really helpful and if you go to the reviews you will pass

Do you have a life? If so, drop it. If you have never seen mathematical concepts like Set Theory, Induction, Relations, or functions, you need to take time and study for her class. She gives so many grades for you to make up bad ones. Something I wish other professors can learn to do. The only requirement I would give to pass is go to LA Hours.

She teaches pretty straight forward and the class offers a lot of help out of class. Not the easiest subject, but if you do the homework, making sure you understand everything as you go, and you do practice exams, you'll be fine.

Look, discrete math is hard. It's a class to weed out computer science students who just think programming is a "cool computer degree". It is, but it's also math. Her class is structured very well, the notes are online, copy them b4 class. Just listen in class. Go to LA hours, do the hw, you'll do fine you just gotta put in the hours- it's tough.

To do well in this class you need: Good to great algebra skills. Being able to sit down for many hours and practice a lot. A LOT! The material is HARD, but Gorman is a good professor, and she sets clear and specific and clear expectations as what's in the test. You will know specifically what to study for. Go to the LA sessions, this is a must.

Don't you dare skip her class! The material is HARD when you are learning it. But when you put forth some effort by going to the LA sessions, her office hours, doing the homework, etc... You will pass. She is a good teacher, but a TOUGH grader. I recommend you to take her online course since you will have the ability to replay the lectures.

She is a very fair professor who expects her students to actually learn the material, and learn it well. To that end don't expect an easy A, but if you work hard and attend the LA sessions regularly, you should be fine. If you apply yourself you'll actually find the material really enjoyable!

Amazing professor, really knows the content and makes it easy to understand. She is a tough grader but she gives tons of extra credit opportunities and makes her expectations clear from day 1, there are no surprises. I would recommend her hybrid course so you can rewatch the lectures. Just do the homework problems she assigns and you will get an A.

I started the semester only seeing Professor Gorman for every test and she was very loud and wasnt afraid to tell you youre failing in front of the entire class. However, I completely changed my opinion when I took the time to visit her office hours because she was so helpful And kind. I highly recommend as long as youre willing to work a lil.

Discrete Mathematics is a tough class, you HAVE to study, but if you do you will be fine. In the class, you work in groups, followed by a quiz, BUT you have videos where she explains everything and you can watch it over and over again. For questions you can easily reach out to her, she would be more than happy to help you.

This class is tough. The prof's lectures are videos online. Every week you will be tested with either a quiz or exam. To do well, you should get help from the LA's, email the professor, re-read the notes, and do the supplement problems. She awards extra points on your exams when you participate in class.

This isn't an easy class, but I think she does an awesome job explaining the material in her recorded lectures (her actual class is just doing group workshops before doing the quiz, which definitely helps prepare you for the quiz). LA sessions are SUPER helpful, attend those whenever you can. She's a bit picky with grading but mostly fair.
