Fairly easy class. She does come off as a little condescending. Anyone who took any sort of higher math in H.S. will do fine. Go to class for handouts and do practice tests, the test doesnt deviate from the practice exams. Easy A if effort is shown.

Great teacher ! She takes everything very slow, which is great and lots of examples. Grades are just test and labs, so make it to ALL labs and do hw and practice exams and you'll be good to go! Be sure to visit her office hours with questions she's super and don't be afaird to ask questions in the lecture she's great at answering them.

One of my favorite math teacher i've ever had. She gives us practice tests that are based off our exams. No homework ever required on a daily basis! Explains very thoroughly. If u have a question, she will gladly help out during her office hours. No quizzes either, just tests so study up. People that rate her bad don't show up to class everyday.

Wears a mic. but insists on talking loudly into it.

I loved this class! Even though she sometimes messes up, she's a really good teacher. The tests are easy and she gives out extra credit on each test! Overall great teacher

i really liked her and she was a great teacher and i learned alot from her. definitely go to class everyday- i promise its not too bad. homework assigned to help but not required.. labs everyweek are a given 10 points to boost your grade. tests arent too bad if you go to class, do homework, and DO the practice tests!! they help so much. final=easy

Really clear. Had note sheets, practice tests and unit reviews. If you followed along and took notes this class was totally fair and do-able. If you are a student that likes things laid out clearly and directly you will really enjoy her teaching style.

She is not as bad as everyone says. The tests have a lot of examples she gave in class, which is nice. I struggled in the beginning but the material gets easier in the end. She does make mistakes though which is a pain. Overall she is not the worst mat121 teacher. Ive heard ther are worse.

I went in to this class thinking that she was going to be a bad teacher. After the class I don't agree at all. She gives out notes and practice problems. If you go to class and redo the problems in the notes and practice problems, you'll find that most of the questions on the test are either exactly the same or very similar to those problems.

I don't understand why Prunty is getting such horrible ratings on here. She is very clear and makes sure you KNOW whats on the exam. Great teacher!

This teacher is not bad. Not sure why she is receiving such negative reviews. Go to lecture, she is very thorough in explaining. Her notes are very helpful and she puts examples from them on the test. Study and you'll be fine.

She's not a bad teacher at all she gives a lot of chances for you to understand the material--Practice Exams, extra practice sheets, notes... I wouldn't recommend her office hours though--she doesn't like to be bothered.

No idea why the ratings are bad. Unfortunately took her class as a retake (took w/someone else 1st time). If you can't do well in her class its your fault,tons of extra credit and her lectures are clear. You get so many printed notes you almost don't need a book. Liberal attendance policy, but worth it to come to class. Easy on the eyes, good voice

good teacher as long as you can keep up with her. She is always willing to help you out and is very knowledgeable. Overall i liked this class, but like i said, at times she can go pretty fast.

The tends to explain things too much at times, but sometimes goes too fast. Exams aren't as hard as previous math classes. She gives you the opportunity to miss one question on exams without penalty. She doesn't give much extra credit. Printed notes and extra practice is always passed out. Don't buy the book!

She's really not that bad. You have to study and try but that's because the class is hard, not because she's a bad teacher. She explains things a lot and it gets a little repetitive but she's just trying to make us remember it. I like her style of teaching. If you struggle with math I would take her. She explains it fairly well.

Tiffany is not a bad teacher. She is not very personable but she knows what she is talking about. She always gives out notes and practice exams, and her tests come straight from these. She gave my class an opportunity to earn over 20 points in extra credit. This class is pretty easy if you attend every lecture and do the practice exams. I got a 98.

She is the best teacher for this class. She gives you all the notes for class and will go into more detail and examples. She gives out homework about once a week and then tests like every two. If you struggle with Math she is a good teacher to take.

Go to class and follow along with the notes she gives you. If you understand how to do the problems on the review sheet and practice exam your fine. If you put in a little time, very possible A.

I took this class with another teacher and failed, but got a C with Prunty. Her note handouts are helpful, but the class is large so it is hard to get help from her at all times. I'm just gonna say that Finite at ISU is hard, and everyone complains about it. That being said Prunty had a pretty manageable class. Also there was extra credit on exams.

This class was perfect for me. Maybe not for other. I am pretty good at math to begin with so this class was a breeze.I probably skipped 9 lectures and never had a problem with the test. Dont get the book you really dont need it she post extra practice documents on reggie net so book was worthless for me. Easy A if you are decent at math.

She is a Really good teacher for this class. I think she's as easy as its Gone to get because I had jane Cler as a teacher first and she was the worst ever. prunty is not an easy person to get to know but you should try to because she'll really help you.

I'm not sure why Professor Prunty's ratings are so low. The class itself is difficult, but Professor Prunty was very clear with all of her explanations of the material, and made some more difficult material much clearer to me. The key for this class is showing up every day. I would highly recommend her for anyone taking MAT 120.

I dont know how Professor Prunty got a low rating. I like her. I didn't know anything about calc before I took her class. Now I understand. I love her no nonsense teaching style. She is helpful if you go to her office. I can tell she wants her students to understand. If you do all the homework then you can do bad on the final and still pass.

Very specific and knows what she's talking about. Goes a little fast sometimes but how could you not when its 10th grade math... Good at answering questions and is easy to understand during lecture. Notes are very specific to the tests and she goes over what will be on the final from each chapter.

She's a good teacher, she goes fast but covers the material you need to know. Overall pretty easy class, just need to pay attention. I didn't have to do any of the homework to pass.

Prunty is one of the best teachers I've had at ISU. She explains everything fully. If you go to class everyday and listen and take down the notes she writes you'll get an A. There are five tests, 16 questions, one is an extra credit problem. So you can get 107% on each test. Super easy class as long as you go and listen to what she says.

I think Prunty was the best math teacher I've ever had. I easily understood the material, but you have to go everyday. Prunty gives you her own homework (and it's optional) so don't even both to buy the book (I never used mine). The tests are kinda difficult but the final is actually like the study guide.

Class was extremely easy to understand. Guided notes are used in lectures. She gives study guides and practice exams for the exams. The study guide has some of the exact questions that she asks on the test. If you study for the tests, you'll be successful. Don't bother buying the book. I never used it.

Prunty is overall a good professor. She is really good at explaining the material just make sure you come to the lectures because they help a lot. If you need help you can always come to her office hours and she'll explain and help you all you want. Don't be surprised if the first couple lectures she seems kinda cold, she's actually nice.

i liked her!

she posts the notes online and then just goes through them so that you learn how to do all the problems, just show up and copy what she writes on the board and you'll be fine

MAT 120 is lecture based, with lab on a given day of the week to practice what you went over in class (graded). Prof Prunty is very easy to work with if something comes up, especially for military students she is fairly chill. Other than lab most of your grade comes from exams during class. She will give you a final exam study guide which is great.

I enjoyed having Professor Prunty! A handful of the math lab were extra credit if you showed up and studied. She breaks problems down, and explains why we solved the problem the way we did. She does not post her written-in notes online, so you will have to attend lecture. Material was similar to an AP Statistics class I took in high school.

She's really nice and helps if you have questions. Attendance isn't mandatory but its easy to fall behind if you miss a day

Professor Prunty is a very kind professor who will explain things to you if you dont understand, just raise your hand or go up to her after lecture. Lab is the only thing that attendance is counted for. Doesn't use clickers which is nice. No homework, you just have tests about every 2-3 weeks. Does not teach too fast or too slow. Algebra 2 class.

If you took stats in high school and understood it this class is super easy. Her class is basically just taking notes and practice problems for the chapters and then doing a review sheet with GA for lab. Gives a practice exam and lots of review for the exams. Extra credit opportunity for every exam. Overall grade is just exams and the lab sheets.

I highly recommend having Prunty as a professor for math! I did not buy the book and just studied off of my notes and extra practice worksheets. She does a great job of giving feedback on worksheets and tests. On the worksheets and quizzes, there is always an option for extra credit. She does not post notes online so you'll have to show up to class

Great teacher. She understands that this can be a challenging class so she keeps the tests fairly easy (I took a gap semester from taking math and still did well). Extra credit on almost every homework. Breaks down the material very well. Fast-paced class so take good notes but very easy to get a C or higher in.

She is a great teacher. The format of her lectures makes learning easy. She provides so many opportunities to get extra credit. I got 96/90 on most of the exams. I did study a lot. Her lectures are really slow, sometimes I wish she taught faster but for those who struggle with math, you can learn at a fair pace.

I took her for MAT 120 and she was so good that I took her for MAT 121. There is some extra credit and many opportunities to learn and review. Go to lecture, study, practice, and you'll be fine. With extra credit, I got an 100%. She is a good teacher. Anyone that says she isn't is lazy.

Amazing online math teacher. I hate math and have rarely received higher than a C in a math class but she is amazing.

Yes there are a lot of notes in her class. But just watch them all and fill out the notes as you go along. She Gives lots of examples and good speaker. The homework was a good way to gauge whether or not I knew what I was doing. I dont really remember the tests that much other than it pretty much looked like the homework for me. Same for the final.

she ight online

Prunty is a very good teacher. Her lectures are great and somehow manages to make Calculus easy to understand. She is very helpful if you ever reach out to her for questions. My only complain is she is a little heavy with the homework but if you do it, it really does help you understand the course

I honestly did not think she was bad. Having a 200 person math lecture is bad, no matter who you are taking it with. Posts video lectures so no need to go to class and it is just guided notes anyways. make sure to do practice problems/quizzes and you'' pass.

I absolutely loved having this math teacher she is so sweet. I love watching her videos on how to do math. She made me feel so much more confident with math than I've ever felt. I cannot recommend her enough as a wonderful math teacher.

Professor Prunty is a great professor for this course. She does move quickly through lectures, but she posts videos online to watch. Her exams are important, but she drops one and offers a lot of extra credit to help boost your grade. She can come off as condescending, but she does explain the material well overall and wants you to succeed.

I was never great at math in high school, but professor prunty made this class very simple for me. There are a lot of notes but as long as you pay attention, the material is easy to understand. It is very easy to fall behind if you do not take notes. I also would recommend going to her office hours if you are struggling.

She is a great professor and I took her for both 120 & 121. The class was hybrid, with most learning was done on your own. We met to turn in weekly worksheets and take tests. We had worksheets due once or twice a week, that often had extra credit. We had 4 tests, each with two parts: take home & in person. Some tests also include extra credit.

Tiffany Is a great professor. She helped me out when I had some problems. Lecture heavy but if you missed it or did not pay attention she posts online videos of the lesson and notes. She gives you everything you need to succeed. You will have to spend plenty of time outside class re-watching notes and/or studying. The grade you get is on you!

i LOVED taking mat120 with prunty she is just amazing at teaching more fast paced than what i was used to but it worked perfectly if i had to take another math class i would 100% take it with this professor

She is very clear in her lectures and will make time outside of class to help. There's always extra credit opportunities as well which was nice. One of the best math professors I've ever had.

I had her for 2 math classes and she was definitely a great professor. She offers extra credit points on worksheets and exams which is helpful.

There is a test every 2ish weeks the topics are easy to follow and understand. If you come to class and follow along on the notes and the calculator work it will make your life easier. The test are multiple choice and have a bonus question so you can get over a 100% on a test. There is a worksheet due every week and online homework due every week.

The class is very note heavy but the professor is very good at explaining. There's about 1 homework assignment a week and 5 exams, but she drops the lowest one. As long as you show up, take notes, and do the homework, it's an easy A. I would only take a math class with Tiffany because she explains everything very well.

I started out struggling in this class just because I wasn't studying for the exams enough. I learned to take good notes and show up to the lectures and I did just fine. Tiffany is amazing at explaining things and gives straightforward practice exams to prepare for tests and the final. As long as you do the homework each week you will do good.

With professor Prunty, I recommend taking a bunch of notes, the class is kind of difficult. You have 5 total exams throughout the semester, not including midterms and final. Exams are worth your grade around 40% of your grade, 10% for your homework, and 20% for one quiz. She is very helpful during her office hours, stays extra to help students.

MAT120 is not a hard class if you actually try (do homework, use the labs, study outside of class). I'm definitely not a math person but this class was easier than people make it out to be. Prunty is great at explaining and accessible outside of class (even when I told her one day before that I wouldn't be able to take the test).

I definitely recommend going to class and hearing the lectures. Even though it is not required its helpful. She posts all of her notes and lecture videos which is a HUGE help. She gives out 3 study guides for tests and they match it pretty well. She does go fast during lectures. Do all of your work and study you will get an A. DEFINITELY TAKE HER!!

She's great at explaining during class and provides extra practice for exams. You have mylab hw, take home worksheets, part one of exam take home and second part in person. She provides answers online after we completed the material. She also has videos on the units which is really helpful. Exams are similar to class work, same format.

I really enjoyed the class. She gave us 4 tests, the first half of the test is take home and the second part is in-class. She gives out a decent amount of homework but plenty of time to complete it. Overall if you go to class, do your homework, and put in some effort to study for the tests you will pass the class.

Go to class and learn the material, it's only hard if you don't take the time to learn it.

Best Math professor there is. It is lecture-heavy, but you can still learn a lot from it. The homework is in the Cengage textbook. It is very straightforward with what we learned during the lecture. Professor Prunty also has review sessions before each exam. She is also available out of class. Recommend her if you want a good math professor.

This professor made me love math again! She was such a good teacher and helped me understand the content fully. I would highly recommend as well as when preparing for the exams do all the extra handouts as most of the questions on the exams are from those packets. Homework and lab help your grade and the exams are multiple choice.

I have never gotten anything over a C in math but Professor Prunty although she speaks very fast made sure to teach the materials well. She offered extra credit and as long as you study you will do well on tests. Might I note that it is very important to go to class.

Dr.Prunty was a great professor! She does talk a bit fast, but as long as you show up to class and take notes and use all available resources that are given, you will do great in the class!

Great Professor! Posts online videos for every lecture also.

Difficult class, but she was a great professor/ good at explaining the material. As long as you go to class and study, you will pass.

Over all a good professor! Lectures can be a little boring but all chapter walk throughs are posted to YouTube. She also has a formula sheet for each test which comes in handy.

Overall, my experience was mixed but fair. She moves fast in lectures, so pay attention. The class is manageable if you stay focused. Go to lab (mandatory) and complete all homework assignments - it helps for exams, and they are graded. Tests are reasonable, but you'll need to study.

Offers guided notes you can print off and the follow on the projector. Pretty simple and she was good at teaching. One of the better math teachers I have ever had. Take her for 120
