The course was not free as the code was well over $100 which is a joke. However, the professor was very attentive and assisted promptly with any questions or concerns I had.

She started using online videos to teach. With the videos, you have homework. If you don't get a 100% on the homework, you can't go to class until you do. If you don't go to class, you can't do the classwork or the quizzes. I think this teaching method is unhelpful and it needs to be changed. I would not take this class again, nor do I recommend it

Had a lot of easy discussions boards that boosts your grade, all of the homework is graded by completion. There are quizzes each week that you do on your own and are based on the homework. The exams are also based on the homework. As long as you do the homework, you're good to go. The prof is also really friendly and helpful

Do not take this course from this professor. The content of the course is too complex for an entry level math course. Students are doing statistical, differential equation and series type calculations. In addition, the exams require calculations that require precise significant digits, else you fail the question. The professor seemed disengaged

This instructor does everything through pearsons which sucks because pearsons is for mind readers. This professor gives an UNREALISTIC work load to students, especially online only. when I say unrealistic i mean 9 assignments in a week plus 2 projects, as if we don't have other classes or even jobs / kids / anything outside of math !

As someone who is neither good or terrible at math, I was able to pass professor Overtons class with an A. Homework can be a bit overwhelming at times, but it is identically similar to what is on quizzes and mid-term/final exams. Lectures are nice and easy to understand, and she is quick to respond to concerns outside of class.

I was grateful for her guided notes, and she made it easy to talk to her about any confusion encountered during the lecture. There are about 3-6 homework assignments each week. She does not give any extra credit, but she does provide practice tests. She allows a page of notes to have with you during the test.

Professor Overton is a good professor. Just extremely difficult to get an A in her class. There's a lot of homework and there are practice tests you can take up to 10 times before the actual test. Practice tests are very similar to the actual test. Tests are a majority of your grade so make sure to study and do well on them.

Take MTH 161 with Professor Overton. Her lectures are fantastic and easy to follow, she is extremely kind, caring, polite, understandable, helpful, and responsive. Practice tests are so similar to the actual tests; you can do the practice tests up to 10 times. DO THE PRACTICE TESTS! She also allows you to bring a sheet of notes for the test.

The exams were on computer in class and the class was hybrid where the notes r posted on canvas. We came to class just to do more practice and when test time came around it was just showing work on paper and putting the answers on the computer. Not worth your time and money. Half the class already dropped after the first exam.

I've taken Calculus three times with three different professor The course is, by nature, difficult and requires far more understanding and practice than you'd expect. She breaks down theories into digestible concepts and spends the majority of the lecture on how to approach problems. You won't find a better teacher for Calc.

This class was very easy. She's nice and understanding. She gives like 20 late passes in case you need more time. Quizzes are always open note. There are some fairly easy mini projects that rely on previous homework assignment knowledge. It's easy to get a good grade just do the homework, watch the videos, and turn everything in on time.
