oh my god...she sux..can't understand her...the only good thing is that she gives out extra credit...her tests are hard...gives 7 quizes and takes the best 5 out of the 7...collects 10 hws..you never know when she'll collect
It's not easy to listen to what she is saying. And take her classes if you want to do all the works by yourself. Students ask her questions on HW, 50% she will say it's not assigned for HW. why? just answer it!
u will not understand wut is she talking about
If you do her HW. you will be fine on all the tests and quizz.
once you get past the accent she's really a cool teacher. she collects hwk once a week, and the group work is cool, extra credit given!! the tests are okay, she lets us use note cards!! too cool!!
I've taken her twice...Absolutely the best math teacher I've ever had. First day, I thought she was going to be tough, but this lady REALLY cares that you make it and also that you TOTALLY understand everything. She can explain anything you ask.
she gives really difficult tests and be sure to do your homework because she gives pop quizzes on lessons that are really hard. she's also known to collect homework randomly. understanding what she was trying to say was hard b/c her thick accent.
Tests are moderate. Quizzes are very easy. Sometimes it'll take some time for her to solve problems in class. But she'll solve them all eventually(at least in my class). Be patient. PS: You'll need some time before accquiring her accent.
Once you understand the accent she's alright. I enjoyed her class as much as trig is enjoyable...
STOP..... Do not take her class. She does a bad job teaching, her class is like a self learning class.
I took her for Alg. 1 and 2 and discovered the best math teacher I've EVER had. She has an accent, but once you understand a few words that may confuse you, you realize that she's hysterical! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! You will not be dissappointed.
If you want to learn and make an A...take Munding. She's the best math teacher I've ever encountered and CERTAINLY the BEST at Ohlone. Do your homework and study for tests and you'll ace it. She doesn't make up the material...math is what it is.
She is a really great teacher. i had forgotten almost everything i ever learned in math, and now i dont think i ever will again because of her. she has very good methods of teaching. if you do the homework and take notes you will do great on tests.
Yeah, she has an accent, so what. Learn to deal. Assigns a lot of homework. Helped 1 student in our class who was really struggling. Became a better student in other classes too. A pretty cool teacher. Actually cares about students who work.
We had 12 students drop her class in the first four weeks, enough said.
this teacher sucks, she gets a kick out of it when students drop her class. IF YOU TAKE HER CLASS " YOU WILL FAIL"
after you start to understand her thick accent things will get better but for themot part her inability to speak english properly limits her acapability of responding to questions...IN OTHER WORD...HER ENGLISH SUCKS SO BAD THAT SHE WONT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT QUESTION YOUR ASKING AND BECAUSE OF THAT H
Shes so psycho!! the worse teacher in the world. She should be FIRED!!...ugh math was so horrible with her. Dont ever take her..or you'll get SCREWED.
She knows math, but her abilty to teach it over to others is lacking. She has this Russian acent that completely scrambles words together. she is very reasonable, but i think she has to be because of he lack of good teaching. IF YOU TAKE THIS CLASS, BE PREPARED TO LEARN MATH ON YOUR OWN!
She is confusing and sometimes talks about crap you don't give a sh*t about.She gives out alot of HWK but only collects a few.She seems to love to see students fail.She does make mistakes and sometimes blames the students for them.Tip:check your graded work,u can catch mistakes.
all i know is that she got mad at the class for not asking questions, and when we were finally asking questions, she said we asked too many...what a ****...DONT TAKE HER...shes got an accent and is very condescending; if you dont do your hw, she literally shove a hw of someone else in your face
Took discrete math.. SHE IS .... what can i say.. Why ohlone even thought of hiring her?? Can't they find good helpful and american accent teache ?? Dude this teacher Sux and she gets mad if students ask questions in class. She is not worth of being teacher for higher math. This teacher sux !!!
I ended up dropping this class due to the fact that she was one of the worst teachers I had ever had. She would get angry when people wouldn't ask questions. When they would, she would get more angry, saying that we were wasting her time. She was mean to us students, often accusing us of not caring.
worst teacher ever. my dog makes a better teacher than she does. if u take her, you will get lost and end up dropping her like i did.. ps. i dont have a dog
I cannot understand her at all! she does not want to teach at all. she will just read the book in the class instad of teaching and whenever you ask for help she will tell you go read the book! SHE CANNOT TEACH... DO NOT TAKE HER.
She's a real teacher, for people that are smart or willing to work to get smart.Her lectures are "hands on",based on logic.If ur looking for an easy class,just to satisfy requirements keep this in mind she will make you learn math.All I can say is she's my best teacher so far!!!
She will make you learn math be prepare.
OMG ridiculous. She has a huge accent that i CANT understand. when you ask a question she practically yells at you and likes to make fun of people in class without realizing it. she will ask a person why they did so bad on their test in front of everyone. DONT take her.
She is hard to understand and is not very flexible or understanding. I had to have the class removed from my record even though I was 2/3 the way done because she would not except a medical note. Up until the note, I understood the material and did well on tests. Homework every night. She yells sometimes in class because students don't understand.
She is really nice and she spents a lots of time lecturing for us, which is rarely seen in college. If you do your homework and take notes in this class, you will get A, because she not only judges on scores, but your willingness in math.
She is a very good teacher that will help you through the class as long as you do your homework, show up, and take notes. Its a college class, its not supposed to be easy people... I would suggest going to the math lab for like an hour before class, she will help you 1 on 1 there and it makes her feel better about you as a student.
Ms. Munding is the best teacher anyone could ever have. She makes math fun and exciting. She takes the time to answer questions and she helps those who does not get things quickly. She is very nice and is easy to talk to. Her lectures are excellent, easy to understand and are never boting. I absolutely recommend for everybody to take her class.
Horrible
No Comments
worst math teacher i've ever had
she is a bad teacher!! she doesnt even understand the math herself and yet she tries to teach it to students! Also, she has a heavy accent that is hard to understand
she has sexy accent
She's crazy. She treats us like we're in highschool. We can't leave early without her permission, even though WE PAY for the class. Her accent bugs me to no end. I hate her class.
Worst math professor ever! Her English is so bad that you can barely understand what she is saying if you can understand her at all. She is very unhelpful. I am so behind in the class, because she isn't any help, and nobody else knows what to do either. She should be fired and/or sent back to Russia.
I dont know wut to say cause i got A in my last 2 semisters and now the situation is like i have to be in the class for 2 hrs and then have to do all that by my self just to pass.i mean i have to do alot of extra work cause " u dont even know wut she is talking about in the class" she is always talking to her slelf.BE IN THE LAB FOR EXTRA 4-5Hour:(
knowledgable but crappy teaching skills...can not communicate with her what so ever and can not understand her...do not take this instructor...
she is an awful instructor....can not understand a word that comes out of her mouth and if something does...it doesnt make sense...avoid her...
Munding is hard to understand (she has a very heavy accent), not very organized and her thinking is illogical. she will however, help you in the math lab. and trust me, you will spend half your time in the math lab trying to understand what she was talking about in class. she is very confusing. DO NOT TAKE HER.
dr. munding is beyond mathamatical reason! she's very passionate about math, a little difficult to under-stand and at times displays impatience, but overall, she is a solid instructor.
She is great.... she tries to help everybody as far as she can , but u have to study to get an A.
she is awsome.if u study hard u will get straight A. just do her hw.
Oh, No even if you're good in maths don't take this, because you aren't going to learn anything.In her class you be just thinking about what does she just said. It's not going to be easy to understand her "accent".She tries her best so i have nothing bad say about her teaching and Easy grading.
Horrible teacher, the only thing good about her is that she lets students retake the tests as many times as they want. You really have to teach yourself in this class because the way she teaching is really confusing. Also, she gets mad if you follow her lectures in the book for some strange reason.
This was a self-paced summer course and she is eager to help with any questions. Tutors are there to help as well. Do your homework and practice, practice, practice before each test. You should do fine.
I don't understand why students complain so much about her. She is the most caring teacher I've ever met. She is willing to stay after class to help and answer your questions individually and she really gives you credits for effort. Sure, she does have an accent, but you will get used to it and if you really focus you will get an A easily!!!
I loathe this teacher. Some of the top students in her class are keeping up with the work and getting decent-good test scores but she still b*tches about their classroom behavior when they are not even disturbing anyone else. Im retaking this class even though I received an A from my last professor, she makes everything harder than it really is.
She is very nice, and i recommand u taking her class.she make u to do homework and study a lot which will help u to understand. she care to everyone in the class. if u do your best, she will notice u.
If you go to class, do the work and keep up with the pace, you should do well. She does have an accent, but not terribly bad. She knows her math and will attempt to help everyone who asks questions. I always had a hard time with Algebra, but the combination of a computer based, self paced class and her helping when I needed it got me through it.
She is very helpful and cares about her students. You'll learn a lot in this class.
Honestly, she's an extremely caring teacher. Those who complain about her, do it because of their own lack of effort in the class and/or because of her russian accent which is completely understandable in my opinion. If you don't understand something, simply ask! It's easy to pass this class, if not get an A! :) She puts all her energy into teachin
I'll just say that I tried and failed. She moves too quickly. She is a nice person but I don't recommend taking her unless you are a math genius!
This professor is patient. She wouldn't move on unless everyone is clear about what she's saying, (which i love), as a junior high school, i was so afraid to even think about taking a class like this but she simply made it an easy breeze. Moreover, she lets you retake tests....!, you won't fail if you do homework,come to class and study, you'l pass
NOT A GOOD TEACHER AT ALL
wow the prof scared us on the first day...she said that this is an advance class, really hard class, fast paced and that you need 10 hours per week for homework to pass this class and the F'n class only met two days a week. she cant teach for beans and she doesnt know enlgish. she shows off her PHD all the time and she dont know s#!T. my advice don
She's really sweet when she wants to be, but don't let her friendly exterior fool you. She has random moments of frustration that come across as rude. This was a self-paced class so my interaction with her was rare. Just do exactly as she says and you should be fine. It's her way or the highway. Also, the tutors she has in the classroom are great.
my favorite teacher of all time. made me love math so much. i understand it so well now. she is so nice and always has a smile on her face. she was always very open to talking with anyone who needed extra help and taught me to be on time and make all my commitments. i absolutly enjoyed this class.
I don't find her lectures very helpful at all; she doesn't explain things clearly, and it's not just her accent! She doesn't answer her students' questions, but instead goes off to another tangent. As a result, I show up to class just to avoid getting dropped, and I still have to learn everything by myself via CourseCompass when I get home.
she isn't a bad teacher she just knows a lot about math and obviously loves it but she gets really frustrated and seems to forget that most people aren't passionate about math. she can be a bit rude but i actually understand most of the material which is a miracle, but it's more because of course compass than anything else.
Okay teacher, kind've easy.
WTF is up the reviews of Munding.. i think she is an excellent teacher. she just wants her student to succeed so she goes in detail. she tells you whats on the test and she lets you make up tests and she drops the lowest 3 tests out of 7 tests... and there is one final which is not that bad...i would recommend her if you want to learn math. TAKE HE
She is a really good math teacher that i've met. Love her classes!!
amazing. i wouldnt have passed this class if it wasnt for her help. she is always there to help you. she gave me many chances to retake tests even when she should'nt have. shes legit.
HW and quiz are online at coursecompass.com. so if you can teach yourself you will do fine. Hard to understand her too. tests weren't too hard. i do recommend her but, will you have to put in a little effort.
She loves math, and she's a nice lady, but she isn't a good teacher.. she's always late, she doesn't really explain why anything is. The tests are confusingly simple and she takes off points for ridiculous stuff and isn't consistent with her deductions. Only take her if you have no other choice.
WORST TEACHER EVER! DONT TAKE HER CLASS!
She tries to teach but fails. her accent and teaching methods are both incomprehensible. She has a bad temper, very rude to us students, and will not help you after class if you didn't understand the lecture. Her lack of being able to teach and her thick accent will have you teaching yourself or taking the class again. STAY AWAY
Finally done with this ****. Took her class summer semester. She has a thick russian accent, which makes her unclear and you confused. She is completely useless when you need help. She gets mad when you ask others for help and she talks down to you when you ask a question. The only people who got A's were kids who took HS honors calculus last year
Shes a really good teacher people who did bad deserved to do bad..... NOT!! screw that she will complain when you ask others in class to help you understand what she says in her ****ing annoying russian accent, and then when you ask her she will make you feel stupid. She will always say her class is soo disrespectfully because people talk about ma
Honestly, these people complaining about what a horrible teacher she is are acting like little kids throwing a temper tantrum, and its that attitude that led them to have a hard time in the class. As long as you're respectful, do your homework, and try your best she makes sure to do whatever she can to guarantee you get a good grade. Extremely help
got an A but worked hella hard for it.i agree with what everyone says, bad accent,rude,VERY inconsistent grading...its not the end of the world if you get her,i mean you can pass if you try hard,but i highly suggest getting someone else if you can,unfortunately for us, she was the only teacher for precal this summer :(
DOES MAKE SENSE?!
Not helpful, not clear, not good.
She has a pretty tough accent, but you will get used to it. I call it Munding-ese. She is a really nice lady if you prove to her that you want to learn, and if you stay and ask questions, she will help you. The toughest part is the language barrier, but again, you get used to it. Not the best teacher ever, but passionate about math. Ask for help.
Easy ass class! just do the hw and your fine
DOSS MAKE SENSE?!?!?! HORRID ACCENT AND MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE AN IDOIT EVERY TIME YOU ASKA QUESTION. I DO NOT SUGGEST HER AT ALL!! SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE.
it's math just do the work and you will pass, take her online course, trust me i have taken math 5 times at three colleges her online class is great.
Her accent is just horrible! you must attend her lectures to be caught up. Her explanations are really bad, but her tests are pretty straight forward. If you just go to the lectures, you will be fine. There's also too much homework in her class cuz she uses mymathlab. She's not that hard, but teaching wise...she's kinda bad.
Mrs Munding knows the material herself but displays a very difficult way of teaching it. She is quite disrespectful at times and wanders off subject. When she is teaching the lecture is very hasty.students who do not have math as their strong subject should avoid this teacher. In addition her accent can be irritating. Average math students = Avoid
Go to class and pay attention. If your stuggling but she see's that your trying, she will try to help. Can be very rude and has an attitude but you get used to it. Do the hw and go to lectures and you'll be fine. She is helpful and lets you make up tests. I wouldn't want to take her again but it's not the end of the world.
I am taking this in the summer. I struggle with Math BIG TIME but she makes it very easy. Explanations are complete and she is willing to help you. A few quizzes are online and there are pop quizzes in class SO STUDY!! A majority of the people in class passed the midterm. That should tell you how good she is.
So many complaints on here! Prob from students who didn't study or tried to cheat! Anyways... I took her in the summer and PASSED. I am terrible at Math but I busted my BUTT!!! She barely gives any homework in MyMathLab (another lie posted). Average is about 20 problems. Take another Math teacher and see how many you get per night!!
Took her Trig class in the summer. Very intensive, but appreciated the online homework assignments because help was intuitive. She is able to tell who is trying therefore she tries to help them. Now I'm in Pre-Calc and have WAY more homework, but it's slower paced.
People may think she is horrible because she is strict, but she just wants to help you succeed in math. Tests are fair, homework isn't too bad, and she cares deeply for math.
Do not take this class. There is a ridiculous amount of hw every day. lectures are extremely boring. very thick accient that will drive you crazy. tests are long and she is very stict grader. I would advise you to take another professor.
She assigns A LOT of homework, it's just time consuming. With math, it's either you get it or you don't. What i liked about her was that she gave us a lot of chances, such as giving us another chance to retake the test or do test corrections. She just wants us to do well. Her long lectures can be unbearable though.
1st of all, I took the accelerated Algebra 2 class. Wasn't tryna have Alg 2 for 2 semesters. Anyway, she's pretty easy. She gives you hw so you'll understand the material for the test. My best advice, DO YOUR HW. Then passing will be no prob. TRUST me. Im not even tht good at math and I got a B. Those who complain prob didn't do their hw. DO UR HW!
She's a pretty easy teacher. I took her math 151 class that was mostly online. Very helpful, always around to help when you don't understand something. Curves tests like crazy. let's you retake any tests you did bad on too. All in all, good teacher, easy A if you do all the work, not much studying required.
I recommend her to my peers.She's very helpful.You get one-on-one explanation if you don't understand something. Do the Homeworks and I bet you that A+ is yours.
If you struggle at math I would not recommend taking her. I suck at math but try super hard and it was disaster. Although she is very helpful; will sit with you before and after class, and whenever, but she is just so hard to understand its not worth it.
Do your homework and keep the grading scale in mind too. You get 1-on-1 help with Munding as well as her TAs. Everyone should register for her class.
This teacher is very strict at grading and very hard to understand because of her foreign accent. I tried to ask for help during her office hours and just couldn't get the help I needed with math. The best way to succeed is through self-study & do problems in the textbook. If you struggle with math, I strongly recommend picking another teacher.
Prof. M. seems to have a genuine interest in helping students learn that I find quite admirable. That being said, she is fairly useless when it comes to helping students learn. She is also about strict as an elementary school teacher. She is fairly disrespectful towards students as well. I mean no disrespect, but I DO NOT recommend this class.
It's very simple-if math has always been incredibly easy and natural for you,I see no problem with taking Munding.If not,DO NOT TAKE HER.She's horrible at explaining what she is doing.She starts a lesson by putting examples on the board and doing them,no explanation.Extremely impatient,rude and has a very short fuse.Seriously,find ANY other teacher
Honestly if you don't pass in Professor Munding's class, you have nobody to blame but yourself. She often lets you re-take tests if you get a D or lower, and is typically pretty lenient on grading. She is super willing to help you even outside of class. She doesn't tolerate BS from students. Go to class, pay attention, do the homework = easy A.
She is really srict, when you try to talk to her sometimes shes helpful and sometimes shes not. Tests are long around 20 problems and she expects you to finish in an hour. She expects you to know it and if you aren't good at math then I recommend not to take her you wont do very well. Horrible experience with her.
Difficult class and professor, however, ended up getting a B despite having a rough time the entire semester. It's math: it won't be fun, but you can pass if you just put in the effort.
If you are not very good at math, you should not take her AT ALL. I feel like she only helps students that have math come naturally to them. She will tell you that she's always available to help you, but she doesn't have the patience for it. If you miss even just one class, you'll have a lot to catch up on.
Very helpfull person, she can come off a little mean the first time, but she's a very nice person and really wants you to pass, lets you retake tests multiple times to pass her class!
Prof Munding is great! I took her every semester for all my algebra preq. and she has always been helpful. If it wasn't for her believing in me I think I would of drop. The class requires a lot of practice in order to get good grades. Try not to fall behind on schedule and you will be fine. If she see you try, she will definitely help you pass. :)
She's the bomb! She's a great professor although I don't know about her lectures because I took her selfpace math 151a in the summer but when I needed help she was there. On the test easy, if you need help she'll explain the problem giving you the answer..just show up do the work,put in effort and your good. I enjoyed the class.
I took the Math 151 hybrid course. Whenever i had trouble I would come in for help and yeah shes willing to help, but she explains problems so unclearly and leaves me even more confused. I had a B going into the final and studied the study guide like crazy only to find out the actual test was completely different. dropped a whole letter grade.
She hates anyone who walks through her door. She's rude and had a thick accent. She's inconsiderate. Strick af. Doesn't help and doesn't explain well. Over complicates. Many simple errors continuously made.
Only downside is the accent sometimes. Goes over all the material, grades fairly. Attend every class, do the homework, you'll learn the material and get an A or B.
Hybrid class in summer; it was the hardest thing I have ever done. Her dates were wrong, when I realized it I was a week behind; she didn't help. I would not take her again! Difficult personality, lacks patience to teach and is revengeful.
