Simply amazing teacher. I took her for a summer course and her pace is awesome. She is really nice and funny. She explains math so well. I was scared before starting the class, but she is so cool and I got an A. Show up to every class, do your homework, and study.
Took math 89 with her this summer and honestly would recommend to anyone! She is absolutely amazing and also has a great sense of humor. Lectures are clear and straight forwards honestly to anyone who struggles with math or trying to get a good grade in the class i would recommend this teacher 100%. There are review packets she hands out as well!
tina is by far one of the best math professors i've had. she is very helpful and her notes are very detailed. she goes over things until everyone understands. she goes a little fast but she will slow down if students let her know they need a slower pace for certain concepts. if you miss a lot and have a low grade she will drop you.
Mrs. AP was bar far the best math teacher I've ever had! I was never great in math but she made everything so easy to understand! Very helpful and sincerely wants her students to pass. Gives ample review material for tests (there was only three and the final) and has an entire review class before each test. Trying to take her again for Stats!
This was probably one of the easiest math classes I've ever taken. As long as you do your homework and study with the study guides, you'll be fine. 10/10 would recommend.
Tina is an great teacher. You need to understand that she doesn't grades easy but she covers each topic in depth and breaks it down where it becomes easy for a student to learn and use the new information. If you want to learn Tina is the best Math teacher and will prepare you for the future. Hope she starts teaching Pre-Cal 2 soon! Attend class!
Mrs. AP is the best math teacher I have ever had! She gives amazing lectures than coincide with the homework perfectly. She does so much to prepare you before an exam that you'll never feel blindsided when taking a test. She encourages you to ask questions and never makes you feel stupid for not understanding something. Definitely take her class!
Tina is by far ahead of her game when it comes to being a teacher. She made Pre- Cal 1 so enjoyable and definitely made sense of each and every lesson. I would recommend Tina for anyone interested in having fun in math and learning at a steady pace. No doubt about it, best Math teacher at MJC. I'll be taking her again if I can.
Tina is an amazing professor! She prints out packets per chapter with the examples she's going to go over, so that you can easily follow along taking notes on how to solve them. Separates the math homework with a lot of time for those who like to get their work done on the weekend. Provides study guides before exams. She uses my math lab for hw.
I had her for my Math 90 class, and I wasn't a math or engineer major so I wasn't supposed to take this class. Either way her notes, and the way she explains her lectures are really helpful. I almost wanted to switch majors just so I can have another class with her. If you have no idea how math works (like me) she will explain it perfectly to you.
Very inspiring teacher! I took her 5 week summer math 90 course and did fine. Printed out lectures with problems for you to fill in along with her. 3 tests and one final with MyMathLab homework. Lectures are done through her tablet and projected on a pull down screen! Easy to follow and would take again.
She was an amazing teacher and very offered her to every single person I know that start needs to take any of the classes she teaches. She was helpful than most counselors, a great teacher, and made sure her teaching style matched everyone's learning style. She changed anything that didn't work for the class and explained things very well.
I took this class in the summer and wasn't expecting much. The first day, I knew she was going to be a great teacher. She follows her syllabus very closely and makes it available to her whole class at any time. Any time you had a question, she would answer it. If you're struggling at midnight, she will be awake to help you. Wants you to succeed.
Really good professor and loved her teaching style. She gives note package for every chapter which is awesome! Tests are very similar to what we studied in class no surprises! She really cares about her students. Take her you will love her class!!!
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN. Super organized, super caring. Prints out note packets identical to her own in order to follow along with all of lectures. Tests easier than homework assigned. Very reliable when reaching out for help. Replies to emails within hours, max. Cares about all of her students!
Best math teacher I ever took, in MJC.
Tina Akers-Porter is the best math professor I have had at MJC. She really cares about her students and makes herself available for you. She gives useful feedback on homework notes and the way she organizes her class makes it much easier to understand what you are doing. Highly recommend her for any math class!
Proffesor Akers is AMAZING!!! She cares about her students passing! Mrs. A online course is so easy to follow. I loved taking her course!!!
A.P. is amazing! She is a math goddess! She is sch a great teacher and will go over and over how many times you would like just so you can understand what she is teaching. i took her for finite this last semester and she was great! i also took her for 89 which is why i decided to take her for finite. Show up to class and im sure you will pass!
Best math teacher I have had so far. Easy, funny, and explains things very well.
Professor AP is the best teacher EVER!! She is very helpful and cares about her students. She will go over everything in her videos and is always there for you if you might have any questions. We had 2 midterms on campus and a final, but her quizzes are online. This class might be a lot of work, but doable. I would definitely take her class again!
She is amazing! Regardless if you know math or not she will make sure you understand it! Very caring and such an incredible teacher/inspiration! Really recommend to anyone who wants to take her, she is the math queen! Really enjoyed her class cause she makes it interesting and not so complicated!
Great Math Professor. She is very quick to return emails and is always very very helpful. Loved her hybrid class. The videos are way better than lectures since you can view them as many times as you need to. You get 2 chances to take your tests and gives great note packets to go along with her lectures. Highly recommend!!
Tina is THE GREATEST of all math professors!!! I took math 90 the times. Without her, I wouldn't have made it because she was organized, caring and never gave up on me. Thank god for her! . She cared about students passing and she's just the kind of teacher who's unforgettable.
Unless you're math savy take with someone else. I was sitting in the library all semester for at least 4 to5 hours a day working on math very complicated and too many papers.
Hated my life this semester. It seemed like I was only doing math this whole semester tough class to keep up with. Would advise to never take math online
OH MY GOODNESS!! ONLINE MATH CLASSES SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED...125 PROBLEMS A WEEK, A QUIZ EVERY OTHER DAY. HATED MY LIFE THIS SPRING SEMESTER. SMH
looked at all the previous comments and thought that this class was going to be a breeze. However, when I enrolled in this online class, it was just too much. I learned my lesson...
She prints out all the notes you need so you can just listen and learn without worrying about keeping up with notes. Very caring, nice, and never makes you feel stupid for asking a question even if you feel behind. Goes above and beyond outside class hours. Definitely sign up for the 135 portion because she goes over the lab assignment directions.
Her online math setup is a complete disaster. Yes, she's nice, but that doesn't cut it. I can't believe how overwhelming this class was.
This class was frustrating to be honest. The online homepage and modules were always confusing. If you take this line math class, then make sure it's the only class you take in the semester.
Tina is very caring. However overall I wouldn't recommend. A LOT OF PAPERS. VERY HARD to stay organized...
Unless this is the only class you take in the semester, you may not struggle. WAY WAY toooooooooo much work. overloaded
This class wasn't as good as I expected tons of hw and quizzes all the time through the course :(
tina's awesome. I've seen some comments on here about work load. Yaeh, and if you eat cheese cake it still goes to your thighs. It's math. this aint underwater basket weaving. Go to class. Do the minimal homework. Collect your A grade. Anything less than that and the weak grade you receive is on you. There's not a better math teacher here.
She is awesome! All her lecture notes are typed and she makes all the videos for her online class. The schedule is crystal clear and never changes. You know exactly what is expected of you. These other students must have expected the class to be easy because it's online. This is best math class I've ever taken.
Best Math Teacher EVER!!! Do the work and you will succeed!
Tina provides you with all the materials to succeed. She provides explanatory videos, note packets, and study guides. Also, she is not a harsh grader. She responds to emails on time and there is a facebook group. What more do you need to succeed? Take her, you will not regret it.
Mrs. AP is the sweetest teacher I've had the pleasure of knowing. She goes out of her way to help students - printing out study guides and class notes for everyone. She lets you use note cards on tests and genuinely cares about your progress in the class. I'm now at a CSU and severely miss her teaching methods.
Professor AP is an awesome choice, if you're looking for an online math class! She puts in so much time making her own lecture videos that are very clear and short. 2 or 3 video lectures twice a week... It's like a 2-day week for this class. Just remember to WATCH THE LECTURES before you do the homework. You'll do very well come time for the final!
Shes really cool and understanding, as well as easy to reach. Definitely a fast email responder! She is on your side, no question about it, and allows a notecard at each test and a whole paper as well as formula sheets on the final. She also has a schedule and sticks to it which is great and not confusing at all.
Mrs. AP is an amazing Math teacher! I partook in her online condensed course over the summer; although it was a lot of homework being a condensed class, she made it very organized and simple. Her videos are great and I never felt lost. The online course allows you to do homework problems step-by-step and retake tests as needed. Highly advise!
Amazing teacher overall. Was in-class type of deal and takes attendance every day, so if you wanna skip class I wouldn't although she does have online videos of the sections. Lectures never seem long or boring and cares about her students. 10/10
I am a math major but dropped out of Statistics my senior year of high school, Ive been dreading taking this class but Mrs. AP made the class extremely easy with her online video lectures, highly highly recommend, I would take her again in a heartbeat!
This professor is the BEST!! Very straight forward about what is important to learn and what will be on her exams. Shes super kind in person as well and very understanding of her students.
Great professor, lectures are clear, homework is based on lectures. All homework and tests have been shown by example. Online class is clear and easy to navigate. Study groups and tutoring are a must! Professor is easily accessible on Facebook Stats Group and Email. If yku put in the work and take it serious youll be fine. Easier than math 89! :)
the best professor ive ever had and helped me with anything i needed. she was the most caring professor i have ever had and cared a lot about her students. she wanted us all to pass
Professor Akers Porter is a great professor that wants you to succeed! She takes the time to record lecture videos and print out packets for you to follow along with. I took her online for Math 90 and plan on taking her again for Stats.
I was a bit worried that an online class was going to be hectic during the summer, but she makes it SUPER easy. I would definitely recommend her class either in the summer or during a regular semester. She is extremely helpful and caring.
Math has always been super difficult to me however professor Akers teaches it in a way thats sooooo easy to comprehend and her lectures answer all questions. I wouldnt take math with anyone else. Best professor you will understand even if math is hard for you as well
I detest Math and even though statistics is very challenging for me, her lectures are engaging and she tries to make things as easy to understand as possible. She is very helpful with printable worksheets to take your notes on and very organized. I think she is passionate about her job. I'm grateful I was in her class.
I have always struggled with math to the point of tears at times. With this professor she has helped make the content understandable. Her class is by no means easy, it is very challenging, but if you work hard and are dedicated to the semester you will pass. She is always available via email and responds quickly. The note packets are helpful.
honestly was so scared of statistics esp since I was also taking physio. buuuut she is an amazing professor! I took her hybrid course, her lecture videos are so long and hw can take a while to complete but I promise its manageable. she's very understanding, dont ever be afraid to email her, honestly love her so much! best stats teacher hands down.
Undoubtedly THE best choice for any math class. She's super organized, passionate & her style of teaching makes the concepts easier to understand. She provides packets of lecture notes that are basically simplified & reduced material from the textbook w/ example problems. She also has YT videos of each lesson w/in Canvas if ur absent or need review
Where do I even begin? Mrs. AP is an incredible, passionate professor. She really puts time and effort to strategically plan the course work and lectures to help you. I never considered myself good at math. She is clear and sets you up for success. Homework takes time, but do not give up and ask for help. Amazing support and fun class. THE best.
Professor AP is so good! I have never have a professor that wanted their students to succeed as much as she did. Clear directions on what she wants done. She is very organized and the she teaches in a way that makes it easy to understand.
Tina is a great professor! Lecture videos helped soooo much.
hard but good lectures
Professor AP was the only reason I passed Statistics. Her teaching approach is the best for those who learn more so hands on. She makes sure you are aware of how you learn so she can help you learn the subject and fully understand it. If I could take her for every math class I would.
Amazing. Never had a professor so understanding when life happens and so caring about her students. You have to watch her lectures, but its a math class. Lectures were great. Decent work load but completely worth it. Great teacher, great lectures, and overall a great class. She truly takes time to make sure her students understand. Even after hour
Tina is about the best prof i've ever had. She makes a very difficult subject understandable and supports her students as best she can. There is a ton of homework and tests. No proctorio but she interviews you after exams to see how you got your answers. Only wish she would have been a little more relaxed with final, I was so close to a B.
You literally have Homework almost everyday and those homework's takes you 3-5 hours to do. I'm a full time student and I made a mistake by taking her class.
Professor AP's method of teaching allowed for all of us to get inspired. Her quick ability to work with our different learning styles gave us each equal opportunities to rise. She is by far the best math professor I've worked with. She is caring, intelligent, helpful, and professional. Her class is wonderfully challenging, and truly awesome. YES!
Professor AP was such a good professor however, if you take the stats with the support class it is a lot of work. Even the stats class alone requires you to stay on top of things and really pay attention to her easy to follow lectures. She is a great human being and cares about you passing but by no means is it going to be a walk in the park.
Professor AP was just an amazing teacher. She sets you up for success, yes there's a lot of work, but people need to realize it is a college course no matter what class you take there's always going to be work, But professor AP is the way to go for Statistics. AMAZING!!
I took her online class this spring and I really enjoyed her lecture videos. They were clear and concise. For me, the class was just work-heavy, but not difficult because of her great lecture videos. I did not interact with her much because of that but when I did she was very helpful. If I needed to, I would choose her again.
I had to take Stats 3 times. Yes, I admit it was not easy for me. The teacher makes a huge difference. TAKE Statistics with Akers Porter. She is a great teacher. I passed with an A. It's math so yes it is some work. But you can do it if I can do it. Take Tinas class, do all work, participate, follow the awesome guided videos and you will pass.
Tina is a great professor. She is by far the best math professor ive had while at MJC. She was very clear and cut about the grading system and stuck to it as well. Extra credit is offered! Do your homework & youll be fine. She genuinely cares about her students & is always just an email away.
TAKE STATS WITH HER!! She is so understanding and helpful! Truly a gem.
Mrs. Akers-Porter was the best. Statistics in the summer was very hard, but she made it doable. She was very helpful and I actually enjoyed her statistics class and learned alot.
professor Tina Akers porter is great professor. She is by far the best math professor at MJC. She was very clear and cut about the grading system. even I gave my home work late she accepted. she is very is easy to understand.
If you are bad at Math I totally recommend this class, I dropped my other Stats class after the first day because it was literally horrible but Professor Tina Akers made this class so easy! I am so bad at math but if you pay attention and do your work you will succeed! she allows notes during tests! Lots of homework but easy compared to other stats
Not great, it was ok!
Prof. AP was so kind. I am not natural gifted at math, but she explained each topic so well, I would recommend her if math is not a strong subject for you. She was always available to talk, and encouraged me to keep trying. This was the hardest class I've ever taken, but she set up the class to be very doable!
Professor Akers-Porter was the best math teacher I have ever had. I took her for my elementary stats class my first year of community college and I have not forgotten her. I took her online class that was offered with the in-person support class. She is SO nice, accommodating, and really wants you to do great. Ask questions!
This professor changed my whole outlook on math, I've been bad at math my whole life so I was really nervous to take this class but she explains everything so well and is available on Facebook/email if you need extra help. She genuinely wants you to understand the material and pass the course. You can use your notes on tests too which really helps.
She is the goat, probably the best teacher ive had in my school career.
I don't enjoy math, and this class was very time-consuming (a 9-week summer class). But Professor AP is awesome. She explained the concepts really well, and her lecture videos break difficult concepts down and make them easier to grasp. She is super nice and accommodating. No EC. If you struggle with math, then I highly recommend this professor.
After 3 years without math, I was scared to take this class, but AP made it a breeze. She's super supportive and wants you to succeed. Failing only happens if you don't try. The assignments can be challenging as the semester progresses, but she's always available and happy to assist. Plus, she lets you use your notes on exams and the final!
I took her online stats course and I really enjoyed the format of the class. She provided guided notes with great lectures. And there were only 2 midterms and a final (all in person tests), which were open book. Best math teacher I've had at MJC!
I know I barley got a C, but math is a hard subject for me, and I haven't taken a math since high school and I barely passed those classes, I was afraid of taking this class because I would fail, but this teacher right here made it very easy for me, all exams were in person, but they were open book/notes. I recommend this class. Study !!
Professor Akers-Porter is by far the best professor at MJC. She cares about her students very much. You can tell in the way she gives her lectures. This is a hybrid class, online homework & the midterm/final are in person & open book. I do not like math. But Professor Akers is a great teacher and she explains EVERYTHING so well. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!
I took her for summer course which is condensed. She provides clear helpful instructions to obtain material, course packet and charts are provided. If you watch her lectures it will be easy to complete the assignments/tests/exams.
Hard material but she presents it in incredibly thorough lectures. She is incredibly understanding and truly wants every student to do well in her class. Super intelligent person but her empathy is what impressed me most!
Review is for MSTAT-C1000 which wasn't listed. Incredible teacher and class, my only issue was having to go in person for exams which is my personal dislike. If you need STATS and her class is open PLEASE do yourself a favor and choose her.
Prof. Akers-Porter is highly recommended! Extremely understanding and organized. Her lectures are engaging, and the provided note packets are genuinely helpful (even at 2x speed I was able to retain everything well). All assessments (HW, tests, exams) are open-note & online. There are 4 labs, 2 midterms, and a final. Be smart and take her class!!
If you follow the lectures she will do the whole note packet she gives you. She shows you step by step how to utilize the calculator and how to input the formulas into it correctly. I was very nervous taking this class but she is by far the best math teacher I have ever taken. She is caring, kind, understanding, and truly just wants you to pass.
