Tami is a great teacher. The math project sucks, but is required... Her tests are killers, the quizzes are easy, she never checked homework in our class. She can be annoying at times, because she might begin to treat you like an elem. student. But she's nice, if you like math, then you'll like Tami.

This professor was decent. She really irritated me because she would not tell us if we had a quiz or not unless you asked. Once you asked, you had to be sure to ask what was on it because you cover at least 3-4 sections which can be totally different because her quizes can be something you learned two weeks ago. If possible find a dif. proffesor.

She's a super quick grader which is great because I'm always anxious to know my test scores, and in her class they were always good because her tests are very fair. She tells you what will be on them.

Very unorganized class, very nitpicky grader and expectations are very unclear. Prepare to spend more time finding her assignments than actually doing them, and don't expect quick responses on questions, because she doesn't respond for at least 24 hours.

Professor Bailey is an extremely kind woman. She is very caring and understanding- responds quickly and truly wants to get to know her students even in an online setting. It helps to get to know her in return, she will help whenever she can if she feels you are really trying. The content can be difficult and you teach yourself sometimes!

Prof. Bailey is a very kind lady and always encouraged us to ask questions. I really appreciated all the time she would use for going over homework if we needed it. However, as someone who was a good math student in high school, I kinda struggled to understand a lot of things in this class. She wasn't the greatest at actually teaching the material.

Professor Bailey is a nice lady but horrible at teaching. She would go over the example problems so fast and would stand right in front of the board so you couldn't see what she was doing. She never actually taught in class, just expects you to learn everything from the book and hopes you know what you are doing in the end. Definitely stay away!!!!

Prof Bailey does not know how to teach. We ask for help in class and she tells us she doesn't know and we should go to the math tutoring center instead. She grades test and quizzes very heavily and it's the only thing you're graded on. She assumes we know what she's doing on the board with no extra explanation. I do not recommend her as a prof.

I loved Professor Bailey so much. She wrote me a letter of recommendation! This class was genuinely so easy. There was only one unit I struggled with, but she cleared up most of the confusion I had. She never checks if homework is done, but I recommend doing it if a topic confuses you. There are quizzes every Friday, so make sure to study.

All she does is briefly explain concepts for 10–15 minutes, then hands out packets. Only one is turned in per table, so not everyone engages. Every Friday there's a quiz, but with little real instruction, it's hard to learn. Just giving packets defeats the point of coming to class.
