Nice lady, but myself and others in my class had a hard time following what she was doing sometimes. I got my FIRST D in college (I have a lot of units too w/ only 2 C's).

This professor was awesome! Please don't blame the professor for your poor choice of time usage. Show up to class, study, and do the extra credit and you'll pass. She did not like the way she had to rush us but had no choice. The class was fast pace but she explained everything well and answered all my dumb questions. Don't skip class! Be serious!

Even though learning math online is hard I believe there is a lot of freedom in the way she teaches the class. There is usually homework to do and a review and quiz every week. If you plan it out correctly you can do one thing everyday and have your weekends open. She's really helpful if you have questions and she grades very clearly.

Professor Sacco has 0 care for the struggles this country and world is facing. I was dying and I am not joking. I had COVID-19 during the semester and was just dead for a while. I told Professor and she seemed to just not care. She messes up a due date on assignment? Its your fault. Your dying its your fault. Way to much work.

She's a great instructor and I liked the way that she runs her class EXCEPT she doesn't have an ounce of compassion or understanding for her students, especially in the middle of a pandemic. So if you forsee any possible problems that may come up for you, or if you have kids, choose someone else.

Professor Sacco is so wonderful, and did everything in her power to make sure her students understood the material and succeeded. The class is asynchronous, but she provides so many ways to communicate with her and your classmates that really help you to learn. She's the sweetest, and I can't stress enough how much she cares about her students!

By far the worst professor and worst math class I have ever taken... given the pandemic we were forced to have this class as online only. This professors holds NO zoom meetings, does NOT explain the material, and your only option is to reach out on a problem by problem basis to her. Oh, an you get a 2-5 minute video/lesson and lots of HW problems.

3 unit class but fells like a 4 unit class. I spend about 13 hours each week. No zoom no lectures, but no book reading either! Small but helpful video lectures are made by Pearson and you get to practice what you learned right after each video. Reviews are mandatory but they are similar to the quiz. No midterm. Sometimes there is a group discussion

She's amazing! Her voice is SO soft and sweet,listening to her lectures alone makes the class so much more pleasant. She's extremely helpful,will answer all your questions and will write down the solution step by step for you to make sure you understand. Most work is online with unlimited attempts. Be ready to show work on paper though :) Take her!

If you have no choice but to take her, she is okay. She has a pacing schedule and if you don't utilize it you are out of luck. I find myself wanting to kill myself every time I'm doing the homework, review, and quizzes. **** ton of homework problems; they are neverending. She's crazy. Save yourself and turn elsewhere.

The professor uses video slides to go through the notes and then there are video examples to explain how to do the problems. There are about 3 to 4 of these per week and a review and quiz. She is available to help and easy to reach. I would highly suggest asking for help if you need it. Professor was pleasant, positive and helpful.

Professor Sacco is nice and soft spoken. She is also, very organized and clear on what she is covering for that topic and day. If you find yourself confused and seems hard, plz go ask her for help during office hours. She helped me several times and was never rude or unwilling to help me. By far a good person. Good luck in your academic success.

Amazing teacher. Note outlines are provided and gives good tips and tricks to understand the material. Quizzes every week. Strict on how to format work (it's straightforward, though). Randomly checks notes/homework, so do them all correctly. Held zoom meetings during the weeks where the material was difficult. Easy A as long as you do all the work.

MOST AMAZING MATH PROFESSOR EVER. Even though it was an online class, she would work with me and we would have one on one zoom meetings if I ever needed help. The class wasn't too homework heavy and uses the pearson site. I wish she taught my other math classes.

Please be warned. Do not take this class if you have a life outside of school. She assigns so much homework and expects it all to be done in a timely manner with no regard that people have a life and work outside of class. Please be warned if you take her. It's ridiculous how much work she places on her students.

The best math class. I was scared taking business calculus because I had barely passed stats my first year and am naturally bad at math but this class surprised me. There is a lot of homework but she gives plenty of time during the week to complete it and the quiz at the end of the week is not hard because of how prepared you are for it.

Textbook provided along with workbook. Definitely copy exactly what is shown in the video onto your notes because she makes you send pics of notes, usually from previous weeks. HUGE TIP: Do the "homework" assignment as you proceed with the section! Time saver! Videos are on youtube and you never really hear from her but she does reply to emails.

The class was easy and she offered many opportunities to receive help and support. You will be watching videos and taking quizzes every week so set aside a few hours to do that. Take notes to help you. I thought I sucked at math but this was doable. The professor is also very kind and helpful.

If you want to succeed, take it. There are weekly assignments in weeks 4–8, midterm and final exam. Take notes and watch all the videos, the review tests and homework are very similar to the quizzes and exams. No one should earn less than an A if they put in the effort. She replies quickly to emails and is very supportive.
