She is a great looking teacher. So you might be distracted. Her teaching style is good but the class is very fast passe. So if you had trouble in classes before i would reconsider taking her. Other than that she has very great office hours. She doesn't give test reviews, only the questions you have in class. Test and hw are hard.

One of my favorite professors. She is very nice, organized and helpful. Her class is difficult and unless you are willing to put in the time and effort, you will struggle. Offers extra credit and extra worksheets to get help. Willing to go the extra mile and work with you even when it's not office hours.

Very caring and kind and offers lots of help in tutoring centers and office hours. Lots of video notes and long MOER hw multiple times a week. Her tests are extremely hard and long, and the majority of the time, you won't have enough time to complete the test, so be very prepared. Take advantage of written hw offered for extra credit on tests.

very passionate to her job, class is heavy !! But she ensures we have all things we need to succeed but ultimately its up to you to ensure you pass. She is very willing to meet her online students at different times in the days. Does late evening office hours that helps A LOT. Very Knowledgeable and wants all her students to succeed.

Heaviest courseload you will ever have. We use ALEKS and it has mandatory KNOWLEDGE CHECKS that you recieve no grades for but often take 1-2hrs. Forces you to submit your notes for grading to prove you watched her lectures. Her teaching style doesn't resonate with me and I often found myself going on youtube to find alternative explanations.

Dr. Tara is an excellent teacher. Math 151 is the first math class I took after receiving my GED, and she made the course very easy to understand. I took the course online, and the exams were well-protected. For homework, she uses ALEKS, which is an amazing tool for studying. I highly recommend her.

The tests are very heavy, being weighted at 65% of your grade, but as long as you complete the homework and practice enough, you will be confident enough to pass the test with a good score. The homework takes a while, and I would recommend setting at least 4 hours aside just for this course. But the work is worth it and she gives great feedback.

I took her for my Fall semester, and she is incredibly engaging and good at explaining things during her lectures. Her extra credit is there, but not worth mentioning since it only helps about 3% of your grade. Great if you are needing that final push, but don't spend all your time on it. Overall, a good professor who will help you if she can.

Her office hours were at 11-12pm, and class was at 12:30 but you had to come at 12:25. I had to commute to school through the bus, and often, there would be transportation issues so that I would usually arrive at 12:00 after office hours ended. While it didn't work for me, and I usually just had to email, Jones is a great professor I'm glad I took.

We use Aleks for homework work which takes 1+ hour to complete(due Sunday/Wednesday), she also has written homework(due Friday). For the midterm and final you do have to take it in person or proctored by someone, and you have to average a 60% on the exams to pass the class. If you take your time to do the work the class is fun and interesting.

She was super passive aggressive and was a tough grader. I would often be made an example in front of the whole class whenever I would occasionally got something wrong. She also doesn't teach math the best and it feels like a waste of time to do meditation for the first five minutes of class. Lots of HW and she doesn't even do a good job teaching.

Prof. Jones offers office hours, great feedback, and explains topics and steps well and thoroughly. The ALEKS computer program is used in this course. This specific course is VERY time-consuming and feels like an accelerated course all semester (it's not). I only recommend taking if you're a math wiz or have a lot of time on your hands.
